@Jess0685 you've been busy in morw ways that one awww I bet they are all over the place now bless them, did they say much about you having more amniotic fluid? Xx

I have my growth scan today at 11 wounder how he going to be laid this time lol xx

Our youngest has an appointment at the rvi (like a specialist hospital) for his kidney on 26th to see a surgeon that day I'm panicking tbh, I new he may have to have surgery bit didn't think be soon xx

Had my growth scan placenta is low lying they said altho it can move it might not at this gestation if that is the case by 36 weeks then I'll have to have a c-section xx

I was going to say @tdog I am surprised they have not already picked this up!

I am back at midwife a week on Wednesday for my iron levels to be rechecked. I've a feeling ill need to start the tablets anyway, oh well.

 

[tdog]

Oh wow @Jess0685 it's amazing what they can do now

They didn't see it on the earlier scan apparently xx

I've been told at 28 week bloods check that I was borderline anaemic and started taking iron supplements but they gave me such a dodgy belly I've had to stop and just take pre natal. I feel like a zombie almost always! Seriously getting to the point where I don't want to be pregnant anymore!

Hope you're feeling okay? X

 

[tdog]

@angelbump awww love I no that feeling I hate to moan as there is women out there have been trying ages, I'm 2 weeks behind you and just fed up now, I'm waddling not walking lol I have physio on Friday for my spd hope it works tbh but I very much doubt it as I don't want ro go on to maternity now I want to leave as late as possible xx

I've got better at taking my prenatal as it was hit and miss before (it's has 120% RDI) and I have some Spatone supplement so hopefully that's helped as I'd like to avoid tablets, I struggle enough with constipation as it is!!!

Part of me is ready to meet him but I'm trying my best to live in the moment as this is the last time! Wishing it away made it go SO slowly last time it's like time was going backwards!!

Iron tablets are awful. I couldn’t tolerate any of the ones they prescribed me and I wasn’t going to spend £18 on something OTC.
It’s been written on my notes that I’ve refused and declined oral iron - no mentions that my body couldn’t tolerate it.

Two infusions later and I still feel the EXACT same. I’m so ready to meet our little baby.

Oh hunny that's not good. I feel the same. It has given me such bad diarrhea and tummy pains which then sets off Braxton Hicks!

I've stopped it for a few days to see if my body gets a bit better with some respite x

I used spatone too but have had to stop it was so bad on my belly. I went the complete opposite way to constipation

I've felt queazy and full of gas and diarrhea for weeks now and it's getting tedious!

I am so trying to enjoy every minute as this is our last but these last few weeks are definitely no fun. Just so excited to meet him now xx

 

[MrsLux]

I'd welcome a bit of diarrhoea right now tbh the things we never thought we would say!!!!

Pelvis is starting to give me hell, I can't be too surprised I knew it was coming and I've lasted so long! I was barely able to walk by this point in previous pregnancies and more than ready for it to be over!

 

[MrsLux]

Is it too soon to start talking hospital bags?

Tell me your essentials!

 

[MrsKatie]

Hi ladies!

I’m still in the hospital with him and I have been the most grateful for 1) my favorite snacks 2) my big nursing pillow and 3) depends!!!

Hope you all are well

Sorry you're struggling with SPD. In my experience physio did very little but giving birth really helped lol.
I hope you manage to rest and ease it off a bit.
Roll on maternity leave indeed!

We've been waiting on a date for our house move and it's looking like it'll be within the next 4 weeks - going to be a lonnnnng few weeks ahead but so excited to be in now!

I'm the same as you, with my first I was so bad already but this time it's only just starting to niggle. Thank god!
