Babymoma aww they are the sweetest scan pics of your big boy!! What a sweetie

Red rose have they suggested an iron transfusion for your anemia?

All good here. I’ve had a massive spurt of energy so doing all sorts of things to the house that has needed doing for years but now finally have the motivation to do them! Painting inside this week which is so exciting, looks so fresh!

I'm not sure how I've missed all the posts on this thread this week!
Looks like a lot has happened!

@star25 it's good that they are keeping a close eye on baby's growth now, fingers crossed for your next appointment.

@babymoma89 you knew bubs was going to be on the bigger side, mummas intuition hey! If you explain your concerns about giving birth to a larger baby they might consider inducing you a bit earlier maybe?? I have similar worries, mine is on track to be 9lb 7oz if it continues on its current trajectory. No idea how I'll part with a baby that size

@RedRose19 those results would explain why you've been feeling crappy. Fingers crossed they sort supplements ASAP. Have they suggested vit b12 injections

@BabyBrain80 that's strange and pretty poor really that no one has ever mentioned the lupus thing before!! Did they say when it had been put on your record? I don't know anything about lupus in pregnancy but sounds like you're out of the potentially risky phase now from what others have said.

I finished work on Wednesday, what a relief!! Had my 34 week mw appointment yesterday and she seems to think I won't need to be induced this time (probably just telling me what I want to hear haha). Baby is looking like he or she will be big. I'm reeeeeeeally hoping I don't go overdue but we'll see

Great you've had an extra spurt of energy Lucy! So good to get those little jobs done that have needed doing for ages. I've got a long list of those to try and get through now I'm on mat leave. The biggest challenge is going to be sorting through all the kids toys and getting rid of all the broken stuff or bits that they don't play with anymore. Hate that job

 

[star25]

Thsbk you Lucy, fi gers crossed for next scan!
I live it when we actually get stuff done around the house, enjoy your painting!

MrsT yay for finishing work! I can't wait, I don't mind work and only office based, but sometimes it's the walking there straight after school drop off then doing it all back getting 3 of them on the way back kills me especially when it's hot!

no they have given me 4 weeks to start improving them, if still low in 4 weeks then they might.
tmi ladies but me and dh dtd last night first time in a long time (between kids and appts just been so busy and tired) and today im so so sore and stiff, im guessing its just mybody is not used to it or something?

looks like everyone here is having growth scans, but i mean least they are keeping an eye on size big and small. its hard to think in 2 months time some babies will be here and some nearly on their way.. im almost sure baby will be here between July 26th and 28th ( our anniversary is on the 28th lol)

 

[MrsT116]

I wish I was having another growth scan but they won't do one apparently. Even though baby due to be over 9lb at due date.
Red rose we dtd very little at moment because everything just feels so swollen and uncomfortable down there. It's difficult.

 

[babymoma89]

Really not feeling up to working today. Had our baby shower yesterday which was amazing but I'm so damn tired. I haven't been sleeping much because I'm so uncomfortable at this point. I'm sitting here at my desk like blah

Oh no. How much longer do you have at work? I can sympathise with the lack of sleep. It's either hips hurting, needing to pee or vivid dreams waking me up

 

[babymoma89]

I planned on working until I go into labor or I get induced which is hopefully going to be end of June ,or first week of July. I have been having the worst back muscle spasms and Charlie horses in my legs. I'm drinking liquid ivs to try and help but I'm so miserable

 

[star25]

Oh no babymoma, everything is so hard near the end isn't it
Last night I dreamt I lost da in some random place cos a rocket was shooting at us so we hid in this big old house which then turned into like an indoor market lol, I was walking around calling him and ended up calling him for real, luckily he didn't wake up!

The leg cramps are bad too, soon as I feel it start I try bending my toes back to stop it in its tracks lol

My back is aching more than anything though, when I get up to pee in the night I'm literally limping, I can walk normally once I get going during the day but it hurts pretty bad

 

[star25]

Glad you enjoyed the baby shower!

yes the back pain and cramps are the worse I've been ending up on our couch in my underwear and the fan on full blast because I'm Also feeling so over heated and it's the only place I can get comfy even if it's only a few hours.

 

[Lucy3]

Star I’ve been having some awful dreams too. Like things happening to my kids, so disturbing. Babymoma Im not at the uncomfortable stage yet, but knows it’s around the corner.
Mrs T I can’t believe you’re 34 weeks!! You’re so close now, so exciting!

 

[babymoma89]

Finally got some sleep last night thanks to hubby rubbing my back until I passed out. Baby boy has been beating my ribs up good and it's forcing me to sit funny which is now causing bad back pain again. Gotta love pregnancy But I actually got like 5 hours last night which is the most I have slept in weeks. I'll take that as a win ! Hope everyone else is doing well ! We are getting so close to holding our little babies

 

[star25]

Ahh that's good babymoma, glad you got some rest
I literally can't wait lol, now it's getting closer I'm getting more impatient, her movements are so strong now and big waves can be seen from the outside, last night was crazy lol
I've had a rest day in today apart from the school run, Dd slept for 2 hours too, well she will have when I wake her up for the next school run!
No more work this week as Thurs have the doppler scan to check cord and blood flow in brain, friday dd1 has the day off and the others are in pre school still so we're having a girls day and she is so excited!
Next week is half term, Dh is away in Vegas, didn't realise it was half term when I agreed to it! After that 1 more week of work, which is 3 mornings then I'm done unless I do any work from home
I'm relieved, I thought I could go on longer but the difference in my back today compared to yesterday is massive, I actually feel normal and like I can walk!

Hope everyone is well today?

 

[babymoma89]

I wish I was done working .. Hubby let
Telling me to take leave now but I only get so many weeks with the baby that I don't want to take leave until I actually go into labor. I'm trying to hard to suck it up at this point. Next appt is the 31st and I'm hoping by then they will have made a decision as to whether I'm getting induced or not.

My belly button is turning into an outie

How do your older kids feel about the new arrival? Are they excited?
