July 2009 buddies wanted!!

ola ladies... yay for being full term MB!!!

I finish work in three days! Cannot wait!!!

Been very emotional today, I asked DH to get me a can of diet coke and after work I had a nap and then went to fridge to get it and he'd forgotten. I actually cried!

My feet have also been swelling up now and again... have any of you ladies had this? xx

 

[TigerLady]

Yup -- swollen feet and ankles seem to come and go. They are always a tad swollen, but can get bad if I don't put my feet up some or if it is a really hot day. Normal stuff, I think. As long as your face and hands don't swell massively and quickly (sign of pre-eclampsia) then you are probably fine.

I'm getting lots of back pressure because baby is back to back which is a bit of a pain lol I'm hoping it means he is getting ready to make hs entrance into the world sooner rather than later cause i'll be honest and this sounds horrible but i'm so bored of being pregnant!

Me too Elley_B. I feel bad admitting it but the novelty has worn off and it seems to be dragging... not helped by the fact that this morning I found a stretch mark on my tummy It's only an inch long and pale, but once it starts..... I was hoping I would escape with just the two little ones on my hips.

Just got back from the dr. Baby now 7.7lbs, but I'd lost a pound, which I was pleased with as it proved to the doc that I'd been following my sugar ban. Head and tummy still 3 weeks ahead, but legs normal. In the doctor's words - just a fat baby! He didn't mention if baby had engaged and I didn't ask. Will wait till next time.

Went out and bought my breast pump after the appointment. I'd been putting it off as I wanted an electric but they seem rediculously expensive, but ended up coughing up the cash and going with the Medela Swing (weird name... swinging isn't a feature I was looking for in a pump....).

So exciting we have full-termers in our thread.... could be a baby anytime!

 

[elley_baby248]

I have stretch marks on my ANKLE! So you have gotten off lightly. The novelty really has worn off and am sick of being poked prodded uncomfy and having to answer the same questions over and over again.

I've got my growth scan tomorrow kinda can't wait to see what they say but then i kinda don't wanna know what they are going to say either.

 

[maybethistime]

[elley_baby248]

[maybethistime]

[elley_baby248]

No wonder I've been so tired lately. All I did last night, it seemed, was flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, and get up to pee.

No position is comfortable for long. Can't lie on my tummy, can't lie on my back because it's hard to breath, and if I lie on my side for long, the hip I'm lying on starts hurting. And it's not easy to haul my carcass around, so I'm fairly awake to have to do it.

[elley_baby248]

Yeah i know that feeling and it's embarassing trying to turn over cause i feel huge and it's like trying to move a beached whale

 

[SJK]

well girls Im back, told you

The midwives were talking about keeping me, bp was 150/100, swelling, headaches and floaters and I was secretly hoping they would to get a rest but the consultant chased me , they wont be letting me go the 12 over the due date, I will be induced in or around if not before,

I have just eaten a whole pineapple, well it was sliced and am now suffering with heartburn, cant win.

I could have written this about me -- word for exact word!!! I know EXACTLY how you feel!!!

 

[shelleylu]

Hey birdies x

Hope everyones well? Ive just finished work and Im off to college to study for exam in the morning. I am mega tired and I have seriously had enough.

I could have told you weeks ago Im bored of feeling like this - its nothing to feel guilty about!!!

SJK - you need to take it easy my girl. Serously, you dont want to be faced with full blown PE as its not nice. REST REST REST!!! thats my advice. Ignore washing and ironing or anything else you need to do and sit down in the garden, listen to the birds and eat some chocolate

Girls, my hands are swollen and I feel fat. They are actually throbbing at the ends lol.

Feels like baby wants to come out today. Had loads of BH and super bad tightenings around bottom of bump. Also loads of pressure in my bum (nice). I had a rasberry tes this morning though, so I think thats what causes it - you need to get on the wagon and join my ladies - its great for false alarms - I scared my colleagues loads today with contractions!!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Elliebank]

I've been having RLT for over a week now & it's done nothing!!

EDIT - not that I want it to, too early yet!!

 

[wishingonastar]

sjk you be careful young lady!

 

[maybethistime]

I know wat u mean about the heart burn its depressing anything that passes my lips I cant have it. I have gavison after I eat and them fancy something else then decided agaisnt. not faire lol.

Well baby has been super active I thought they slowed down at this stage but she seems to be finding space from some where lol

 

[godivalocks]

Mine's pretty active, too, MB.

I'm getting rather nervous, considering that I'm not feeling any kind of BHs that I'm aware of. It's making me think I'll go past due. I was kinda hoping a day or two early for OH's sake.

I do know the kid is in my pelvis. I can feel him wiggle around beneath my hip bones.
