July/Aug 2022 babies ❤️

[babymoma89]

Sugger I have everything crossed for you, you're so supportive of everyone else, I hope you see your bfp very soon x

Redrose, sounds awful! It's hard to look after yourself sometimes when you have others to look after, I have to remind myself sometimes that it's good to rest and I don't always have to be doing something when I'm at home, I hope you feel better soon

Babymoma I hope you get a better night's sleep tonight, it doesn't help being tired from sleeping rubbish on top of being pregnant, I'm jealous of your motivation though to still get things organised!

Hayleigh that's a shame to hear about your Consultant, I hope the new one starts listening to your concerns!
I'm measuring small on the 3rd centile at the moment but it makes you wonder how accurate the growth scans are when you hear stories such as with your second!

I had doppler scan today, cord and brain blood flow all good, took 15 mins just to get the brain part done though and in the end she went to get someone else to try, I then laid on my Right side and they just managed it! She was moving and kicking all over the place lol
Her head is still so low and she's scrunched up still, both feet are up by her head so no wonder I can't walk sometimes with her being so low! I'm. Not hopeful for next weeks measuring to go so well again

Consultant appointment Tues then growth scan Thursday

Definitely ready to have her now, 33 weeks tomorrow!

Hope you're all well today

thank you I actually got some
Sleep last night and feeling less miserable today

I take the scans with a pitch of salt unless there is other proof of small or large baby. My 4lb 15 baby I was carrying massive and having weekly scans and they didn't notice my placenta had stopped working at 33 weeks. I'm just happy to see a moving baby haha.

@Lucy3 honestly this pregnancy has flown by and I'm struggling to get stuff done lol.

Hayleigh I wish mine would start to fly by! Think when I hit the 30 weeks mark it will start to, or that’s what I’m hoping.
Does anyone else look at stories of babies who were born at their gestation or is it just me and my crazy over anxious self? Now I almost 27 weeks I feel like I’m entering the safe zone of something were to happen.

I do this all the time! Helps me feel less anxious x

Yes it’s getting closer n we most definitely have to stay hydrated.. I learned that the hard way too I was having dizzy spells if I stand for 5 mins but I ordered me a motivational water bottle off Amazon n been doing good I keep it by my bed side most of the time because that’s where I’m always at… hopefully everything with every ones babies are going well I can’t wait till June 2 which is my 30 week appt hopefully I get a growth scan being that I didn’t get one when I went to my last appt.. I’m so excited to see how much he weighs right now.. wish I had energy but after recovering from the flu I’m still exhausted

 

[Lucy3]

Mrs T glad it’s not just me! Also helps to picture what they look like in there

I do the same thing drives the hubby nuts I just like to be prepared for any possible scenario. I have my 32 week check up on Tuesday and our 4d ultrasound on Friday !! Can't wait to see what little man looks like on those scans. Starting to feel a little better over here as I got more sleep last night. My body is finally cooperating with me. Only got up a few times to pop a few tums for heartburn and go pee

just packed my hospital bag , i figured after my last unwell episode i was panicked as i hadnt done the bag, so i figure least if i do it now i can update it or add bits
but i realised i had no short sleeve vests only long , its prob gonna be super hot so must grab a few over the next few days and get them washed

There is something super relaxing about have that hospital bag packed ... I've had my ready and by the door and it's helped me feel more relieved

Took the kids to Tesco today. I barely made it round the shop. Had to keep stopping, kept getting contraction type pains, mild but uncomfortable. Think they were made worse because baby was moving about like mad at the time. Really struggled pushing the trolley round.
Had a lie down when I got home and eventually it settled. Just have this faint feeling and a bit of a feeling of anxiety/dread. Not very nice

Mrs T I have days like that myself just take it one day at a time . I started drinking those liquid Ivs which helps a lot.

Oooh what are they?

 

[babymoma89]

Oooh what are they?

They have helped with Charlie horses and the bad Braxton hicks I was getting. Plus I've been super anemic it's helped me have a little more energy as well
Liquid I.V. - Faster Hydration Than Water Alone

 

[Mizztina]

they look good, just be careful of the stevia.. that stuff can erm.. give you the runs lol if you have too much although as preggo ladies that might not be a bad thing ha!

 

[star25]

Babymoma, glad you're feeling better
Hiw exciting having a 4d scan!

MrsT I really struggle when I'm walking with the others and pushing the pushchair when she's moving all over the place, really doesnt help the pain situation! Glad you felt better after a rest

Mizz I hope you can some enery back after having flu, how awful for you to have it as this time

Redrose, I've done the same, I've got loads of long sleeved vests which are pretty much new but now I look at the short sleeved ones I don't think they look that nice after already been used twice lol
I've got about 5 new sleepsuit in my bag, 1 comes with a vest and hat but I need to get new vests and wash it all then I'm done with my bag I think

I'm sure I will add to it or take away before then lol
I ordered some bigger maternity pads from amazon, don't usually use ones that big but I just don't want the worry of leaking after haemorrhaging with my first 2 I always bleed a lot
I didn't with my third, lost quite a bit but not a haemorrhage
I'm always on a drop to prevent it but every time the IV has either come out or last time wasn't even in properly and we didn't know until we noticed my arm was swollen with the fluids!
It also has antibiotics in it for group strep b so really need it to stay in and to prevent the bleeding, the reason why I can't ever have a water birth which sucks

And the worst news is.... I've got haemorrhoids started yesterday, in 4 pregnancies this is the first time and man it hurts!
Ordered some cream from amazon arriving Tuesday so hope that helps

Yesterday we went to a country park near us we have season passes for
They had a hot air balloon event on this weekend and in the evening they light up all the balloons, play dance music and have fireworks, there's also live music all day, it's a lovely atmosphere, they have rides at the park too, different play parks, jungle nets, a squirrel run for the kids to climb through, 4d cinema toboggan run and big open areas for them to run and be free
It's hilly though walking back up!
We got there at 3 and left at 9pm,i do t know how I done it, we were mainly sat on the grassy area where the live music and balloons were but obviously with 3 others it wasn't all sitting down!
Needless to say today I can hardly walk, Dd1 said if it's sunny today can we go to the beach and sand park, Umm no I can't lol
I did say we would go tomorrow though which I know I will regret, but they've got a week off school and I've got consultant Tues, health visitor weds and growth scan Thurs so I know we won't do alot those days

Sat we've got the queen's jubilee party at work which I'm looking forward to and so are the kids so that's something as Dh is away in Vegas this week with about 12 friends, it's just typical the growth scan and appointments are all this week but my mum and sister are around to help luckily!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend
