SB - thanks, it's good to know it's not just me. Because of my disc problems it's hard to tell what's the disc and what's normal pregnancy aches and pains. I'm trying to do 15 minutes at a time on the ball a few times a day. I can't cope with more than that as it's too painful. I'm hoping the acupuncture will help get the baby more engaged too.

I just did an hour on the ball - but because it hurt, I took a break after a half hour, went downstairs and got some food, then came back up and finished the other half hour. Seems like if I can get up and move and maybe crack part of my back before going back to it, I do better. Could totally use a back massage right now though...!

 

[Hann12]

I feel like I need to stretch a bit of my back but can't work out the best way to do it, no way seems to satisfy me and reduce the pain, very frustrating! Hopefully it will all ease when the baby is born though and it's not disc related!
SB - an hour is fantastic though well done! I need to work towards that!!

Just went to the grocery store to pick up all the ingredients to the eggplant parm recipe. I got pretty excited after spending a while reading a huge amount of testimonials (Can be seen here). So tomorrow I'll be making it and start eating it tomorrow night and into Thursday. Crossing my fingers it works!

One sided moan coming up...

I am hating these hormones! The past couple of days I've been feeling pretty low, I know it's because my progesterone is really high and there's nothing I can do about it but I hate it and can't wait to get my happy hormones back!!! OK the stuff going on with my Mum won't be helping but I know most of it is hormonal, poo!

PS please can I sleep? Fed up of 3/4am wake ups!!! At least when baby's here I'll have some company!

 

[Hann12]

Morning all! Yes it's ridiculous o'clock! Woke up about half an hour ago with what felt like the baby doing somersaults in my stomach, feeling really sick! Moved so that I'm lying on my back all propped up to see if it stops the nausea. Weirdly though my back isn't hurting too much which is the first time in months - wondering if any of this is a correlation to the acupuncture? Or could just be a strange coincidence. Hope baby calms down soon and I don't throw up though! Sorry probably not what you want to read about first thing!!

Saw on fb that Anna had Flynn last night. He looks very cute and weighed 7.1 so a lovely weight. Congratulations to her! I'll update the graduate thread with both colby and Flynn. We need some girls to be born now - come on Katherine, Sophie and Lorelai!!

Thankfully I have nothing to do today except cleaning so that's my plan! Will probably fall back to sleep several times to make up for being awake now!

Oh and SB - good luck with the eggplant! I hate it otherwise I'd try it in a few weeks hope it works for you though!

 

[Hann12]

Oh Fi you are up too - so annoying isn't it?! I agree at least if this happens in a few weeks then we have our babies for company!!
Sorry that your mum is on your mind too, it must be so hard when you have everything else going on

 

[fifi-folle]

Yay for your back not hurting so badly though! At least we can always nap during the day now. Although my baby also woke me up, worrying that it's not going to sleep at night as that's its busiest time movementwise, eek!

 

[Hann12]

Either I sleep through movements most nights or mine is a night sleeper, but not today!
Will def be napping later!!

Whooooooop Just seen on fb Freckles had had a baby boy!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jenni4]

[mummySS]

Yay for freckles! Little Elliot was 8lbs, great weight!

Wow 3 beach bump babies in the last 24 hrs!

Eugh... So uncomfortable cannot sleep...

Ps Jen - time for facebook...?

 

[melissasbump]

Just woke up to a text from freckles, she had him on 22nd June,, waters broke at 745pm, they went to hospital at 0030 and had Elliot an hour later!!

Congrats to Bec and Anna on the arrival of their baby boys!! xx

 

[DragonMummy]

Blimey, that's the birth to have! Am astonished! Our first natural beach bump then!

 

[Jenni4]

And... I think Freckles was our first yellow bump to pop!!

 

[melissasbump]

Yay its so exciting!!

 

[mummySS]

Yes, I wonder what all the other yellow bumps will be! So exciting!

I'm loving hearing the news, although early babies are starting to scare me. I'm not ready yet!! Two of my NCT class have already popped early too.

 

[DragonMummy]

Ooooh yes she was!! Blimey. It's been girls all the way but now the boys are beating all the pink bumps to it!

AFM - was woken up at midnight last night by MORE ferocious contractions and pressure. It felt like my waters were literally about to pop. I got up and mooched about for a bit and after about half an hour they slowed to constant back and period pain. Didn't get to sleep til about 3 (mainly due to some total dick starting a row in my journal, like I hadn't just posted about how fucking miserable I was feeling) then was woken up again before 6 by coughing Dragon. Am fekked!
