July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

[Bug222]

my bump is super sore.. there is one spot over my ribs when baby constantly presses against.. I keep expecting to wake up in the morning to find a huge bruise there!!!

 

[jmandrews]

My belly is also sore. Its from all the stretching... My feet and ankles officially started swelling today... They are huge!
I also had my Maternity pictures taken today. It was so much fun!

I've been pretty lucky with the swelling this time around. And I'm super grateful for that because last time it was bad! lol

You should look online for photographer around your area. I actually work for photographers so I was able to have mine done for free! i recommend having them done!

neat.

I have no idea how I am gonna keep working 10 hour days for the next 2 month. Not sure I can. Just so tired and achey...

I know the feeling, only 3 and a half weeks left for me but it's getting hard. Had my mws yesterday and baby is still stubbornly breech.

Can't believe we are going to start getting Sumer sunbeam babies in a matter of weeks

 

[TTCinBC]

Ohh i think Bug is having hers a bit sooner then a couple weeks! So its all starting soon!

 

[Bug222]

Feeling a little like i wasnt listend to yesterday. I went to MW drop in clinic at my surestart centre as for the past few days the soles of my feet & palms of my hands have been itching like crazy.

My MW was off sick & another MW from a nearby area was covering. I told her that my hands & feet were itching like mad & she said, your feet are swelled?? Which they arnt at all. She has then started doing all the normal checks, BP, FH etc. Then she started asking about movements which i dont get a great deal of & saying i'm measuring small. She decided to send me to ANAU to get monitored for movements & when i tried to mention the itchy hands & feet again she kinda just ignored me. I thought that i would mention it to the MW's in ANAU instead & they might but once i got there & mentioned it to them they said they couldnt do anything about that & that they could only monitor me.

I feel like the problems i went to see MW for were just completely disregarded & now i dont know what to do. I really want to see my MW, we have a good relationship & i know she will listen but i dont know how long she is going to be off sick for. What would you ladies do???

 

[puppycat]

Make a GP appt maybe? They can organise a blood test x

Torz, does your maternity hospital not have a advice line you could call or a drop in service. Im really lucky as the hosptial im goin to has a maternity emergency room that you can just call into whenever.

I know what you mean tho about not being listened to. I had a hospital app on Tuesday and told the Dr that I am having lots of pains lower down that keep getting stronger and are coming and going, I am also feeling lots of pressure and getting shooting pains up my nunu (tmi), also that it hurts when baby moves lower down there, and she just totally disregarded anything I said! This is my 2nd baby and the only time I felt like this with my DS was when I was full term & still it wasnt this uncomfortable/painful!! When examing me she listened to babys HR for all of 5 secs if that, which I dnt think it was the babys HR she listened to, then marked down in my paper work his pulse rate which is obviuosly not accurate!!!! she didnt even feel for what position the baby was in so she could of been placing the sonic aid on his bum for all she knew!!!! Iv also been having bad headaches and have a blood spot on my eyeball which has appeared since havin these headaches, she didnt even do my BP or test my urine!! Total waste of time going!! Iv managed to get hold of my community midwife and have a app with her tomorrow, so hopefully after that I will feel a bit better, at least she examines me properly!!!

I hope you get your problems sorted out soon, I would do what puppycat says and see your GP if you get no look with the midwife or your maternity hospital. x

Torz that sucks, do they know when she will be back at work?

Kat you should definitely mention the spot on your eye at the app

Bug yay not long now!

So been following the post just not posting, it's crazy how close we all are now! We really need to keep this thread going after we have our babies to give/ get advice would be really handy.

As for me bub has gone head down and is playing hackey sack with my ribs! Felt her hiccup for the first time last night, OH felt her too and said 'I wonder if blokes would be able to handle this stuff happening to them!' hehehe i said i doubt it!
AND we have a first and middle name finally 'Jenna Joy'

I can't believe they didn't listen to you. That can be very serious. That is a sign of a Liver disorder and I can't think of the name of it right now. My cousin had it and had to deliver at 36 weeks for the safety of the baby. Her symptoms started at 31/32 weeks. So thats what it sounds like to me. I would keep asking and tell them that you are very concerned.You need to have bloods done to see. Keep me updated on what you find out.

My little bundle has hiccups ALL... THE... TIME!! I wonder if he is as annoyed by them as I am??

I had my growth scan yesterday. He is looking good, a little small which is surprising, my family has a history of 10 pound babies! (no complaints, I would much rather push out 7!) I can't believe how close we're getting, I'm mildly freaking out...

My DH and I were actually talking the other day about how if men had to carry and give birth all families would be one kid families and our population would be a lot less! Lol
Made me chuckle as he fully agreed! He said he'd try it once but based on what ive been going through, once would be enough for him! Lol

 

[puppycat]

Mine has hiccups all the time lately too! I was starting to worry! lol

 

[TTCinBC]

My DD got them all the time. I felt them almost every day from 8 months on with her. I started feeling hiccupa with this guy just last week and he's only had them once maybe twice. It was something i wqs waiting for becauee it was something i just loved from being lregnant last time!
