SJK I'm so sorry, thinking of you & your family :hugs: xxx
 
Hi everyone,

SJK - sorry to hear about your grandad. At least he is resting now hun xxx

Elleybaby - hell yes to those pains. Aside from the SPD and gallstones (they are horrific) I have been achy and crap for a few days. Lots of 'shooters' down there, and lots of back ache too. I had a few bad contractions yesterday that actually made me cry!

Im hoping to get over my exams then Im ready to have her. Roll on next saturday!!!

Im off to revise. Big hugs everyone xxxxx
 
Good luck with the study Shelley :)

So exciting getting the last bits and bobs, Gem. Can't wait until my cot and changing table (finally) arrive on Thurs next week. We'll all have to post pics of the nurseries soon.

You're brave Twiglet! I'm getting an option for an extended stay put on my notes :rofl: Figure I need all the help I can get!

Well, I officially can't lie flat/sleep on my back anymore. The weight of the baby makes me feel like I'm sufficating. Not a good sign as I've been on doctor's orders for a week now to eat less sugar etc. to ensure the bub doesn't grow too much more, but I can see the belly getting bigger by the day! Funny thing is I'm not really gaining much more weight. Did find two little stetch marks yesterday on my hips, but pale, so not too bad. Had the worst pains too, actually inside my vagina (sorry, overshare) and I swear I went to the bathroom at least 15 times yesterday. Sorry for the whining :blush:

Well ladies had my MW appointment today and Caitlyn is 3/5ths engaged and once again there's confusion over my dates! I'm just gonna go with the flow and let my daughter come when she's ready. Midwife wrote in my notes today for an early discharge from hospital, so long as all is well, as I dont want to stay in at all :happydance:

Have been having lots of backache and pains down in my woowoo lately so am glad thats been explained by bubba girl engaging. Other than that all is well with me. Finished uni and move house on friday! Woop.

Hmmmm, I have to wonder whether mine is engaged. I wonder if he floats in and out of it. I get those pains in the who-ha occasionally, but I don't really have backaches. I hope to find out at my next appt. And hopefully I can get her to do an internal, since I have to have a Strep B swab, just to see if my cervix is even thinking about getting ready.
 
Yeah, I've got strep B test coming up too. Not looking forward to it as I thought it was a vaginal swab then I read in a book that it's often vag and rect. :shy:

How do they tell if/how much you are engaged?

Sooo hungry... just ate 10 minutes ago....
 
I was driving back home, and stomach acid went up into my throat. It was HORRIBLE. It burned and burned and burned. I drove to the nearest place that served soft serve and bought one to counter the acid, but it was at least 10 minutes to get there, and it burned the whole time.
 
Oh, that sounds painful :hugs:

DH and I were having dinner the other night, baked chicken and potatoes, and I finished mine and he was only halfway through. Suddenly he said, "Are you right there?" Apparently I was was staring at the untouched drumstick on his plate :rofl: He passed it over using cutlery, but I was so hungry I just picked it up with my hands! I finished off his potato too.... then went back for Jelly, cheese and crackers and a banana. I just felt like everything I ate was disappearing out of my stomach.

:rofl: You have a really nice DH there to let you at his food.

Thankfully, I'm at a point where I get full easily now. But I just ate when I wasn't hungry, because I figure I'd eventually be hungry later when I'm trying to sleep.

On a side note, I'm rather regretting it now and am feeling a little sick to my stomach. Almost wish I would throw it up again so I can feel better.
 
To tell how far engaged I was she got me to lie down and then felt from the middle of my pelvis down onwards and each finger breadth was another stage engaged. If its still squishy then they've not engaged apparently. :)

Sarah we've got so many people coming up (Liam's family etc and my mum is gonna be there) that I honestly think I'll have TOO many people trying to help me at home etc. My hospital isnt nice otherwise I'd consider staying to get away from the hecticness I'm sure to return to :lol:
 
I was crippled lastnight from the pains in my stomach and back my OH thought i was going into labour i'd been having the pains since Monday night. Everytime i got one i was squeezing the life out of his thumb i was nearly crying at one point. They also had a sort of pattern not perfect but some were 12 mins apart and others 20mins. Kinda one then the other. We decided though that if i WAS in labour it would be quite funny cause i'd been out all day yesterday on and off buses shopping buying a car all while i had these horrrid pains in my stomach and back and bumpy kicking me inbetween.

I have the midwife on Monday and my growth scan next Wednesday i'm kinda scared.
 
Aww elly sorry ur getting loads of pains :)

i know have u feel but mine is realted to heartburn it is so horrible Its really getting me down i cant sleep unless its morning and then I feel gulity about laying in lol.

Had a dream about me little one last night she came early haha, and she was so gourgous, only down side was in my dream i needed the loo so I handed her to me sister from the min I left she started to screm until I got back. in me dream i thought how sweet but now im worried ill have a clingy baby lol
 
Ha ha - does anybody think its funny how any funny pains and twinges we get we start thinking about giving birth!!

I did this last week, was getting a few twinges and had a thought hey - this could be it , then thought shut up you silly cow its the same ones you've been getting all the way through!!

I have decided tho ignorance is definately bliss - I was never this petrified with the first!!

Oh well still feeling good - aches have definately eased this week and starting to feel human again!! to the point where some days I dont even feel pregnant til I get a limb sticking out of my belly!!
 
Oh, Elley_B. I'm sure it's all fine. We all seem to be having pains around this time and they seem to settle down for most people so try not to worry. :hugs: The good thing is that if any of our babies did come now, this far along, they'd probably be completely fine.

I know what you mean Gem! I think we sometimes have visions of that little pain here or there ending up in our bubs falling out as we're walking along the street, lol! :rofl: So much info out there.... does it reassure us or just scare us?

LO is kick boxing on my ribs today.

I've only really paid attention to any recent changes. Not that I think I'm going to go any time soon, but I am hoping that it's a sign that my body is starting to prepare. I really don't want to get induced, so hope he comes naturally by the time OH is here.
 
Hey girls, hope you are all ok, sorry about all the aches and pains, I know the feeling, my legs / ankles have started to swell and covered in white spots, mw yday said it was sitting in the sun, which I havent been doing :rofl:

she said beany was 3/5 engaged, and they would give me a sweep at 40 weeks if nothing happened before,

anyways better go and get my clothes ready for the funeral tomorrow, my ordinary black trousers and pray the belly belt keeps them up :rofl:, thankyou for all your messages xxx :hugs:
 
Well, the kid is heads down, but I forgot to ask whether he is engaged. I'm going to assume so.
 
I know bumpy wasn't engaged last time i went the midwife but am there again on Monday and am hoping she tells me he is now because that would explain all the pressure
 
Hey girls,

Went for another growth scan today, and guess what girls? Babay is no longer small - but big!

Consultant asked wht I'd eaten in the last 2 weeks to gain so much. Baby is now measuring 6lb, - thats alb a week. If she continues to grow that fast she'll be 11lb full term! lol..

They want me to go back in 2 weeks to check everything is ok and she really isnt going to be a monster. I asked the consultant about the pains ive been getting (sound like we're ll the same at the minute) she said its probably because baby is too big for my body - I htought well how did I squeeze a 10.4 baby out last time then?!!!

She also said its due to the hormones your body releases a few weeks before they are due. She said we cant dso anything about them - sorry girls..

Oh yeah, she also said I needed to start on the pineapple and hot curries too - take heed ladies with large bubbas!!


Hope you're all ok.

SJK - hope eevrything is ok tomorrow. Not the nicest thing for you to go through. Sending you lotsof hugs xx

Im off to revise. First exam tomorrow and Im scared!!

TTFN everyone xxxx
 
That is so fantastic Shelley :) :hugs: And welcome to the big baby club, lol.

What's with the pineapple and hot curries? Is that to bring on labour?

I'm so keen to hear how much our bub has grown in the last two weeks. Have our appointment on Tues. I've been really good (well, pretty good) with my sugar restriction and I've only put only 3/4 pound since appointment, so hopefully he can't have grown too much..... can he?

Thanks for the info re pains too.

Oh, and I'm so loosing my mind. I looked at your ticker and thought, "Wow, Shelley hasn't got long to go! She's 35 weeks. Forgot she was a few weeks ahead of me." ...... Then I remembered I'm 35 weeks Saturday and you're only 2 days ahead of me, and it scared me! Good luck with the exam
