It's a change in movements that they say you should get checked. I've been twice in the past month to maternity ward for reduced movement. Once was cause it was kicking into placenta, the most recent (Saturday) they seemed to think was because baby's running out of room. I was told if I am concerned to call them, even if it means I am in every day until baby is born!!!
 
Hi Samzi, I've heard the same as Fifi - that if the babies movements change, then just call the hospital and they can hook you up for 20 minutes or so and check the movements. I read sooooo much conflicting stuff on this, everything from 10 movements in an hour to 10 in a day, it's so confusing. Every time I worry (which is regularly!) I lie on the couch with my feet up and have a large glass of iced lemonade and some chocolate and prod around and baby starts to move when that happens - sweet stuff and cold drinks I heard make the baby move.

So maybe just call the hospital and get yourself checked out, just to put your mind at rest. I went in once too and they were so patient with me and helpful. I hope everything is ok for you. Big hugs. xx :hugs:
 
Caz - you are like a social super woman! I am seeing people but the thought of a wedding extravaganza would be a no no for me! You never know all this exertion might lead to early labour!

Thank you for all the DVD suggestions, I will def take a look. Never heard of half of them!

Samzi - Fi is right, its a change in the amount that the baby moves, try some orange juice, chocolate or a fizzy drink and see if that helps?

I've just got back from waitrose, in the rain. It was not nice.
Planning an afternoon of watching the last of my True blood series 3 box set, reading and having a snooze. Then tonight when Greg is home we have to go to mamas and papas at westfield because we finally got round to opening our baby swing and its broken so we have to return it and we don;t have the receipt. Its all boxed up though so will just say it was a gift and get it exchanged I hope.
I'm now currently being kicked both in my rib and being poked in my hip by the baby, little monkey!!
 
Oh and Caz I am the same, totally hormonal now and I also never get PMT. I had a great day yesterday then today I'm just feeling down. Meh!

Ah thanks Han, you're so sweet and I hope you are feeling ok, I feel your pain!!! It's crap being so hormonal isn't it - I've cried this morning on the phone to my friend, husband, mum and MIL and all for no reason really!!!!! So silly really! I'm going to pop out and potter round the shops this pm just for fun and to cheer myself up!

Hope your afternoon works out well Han and that you rest up enjoy your DVD's and manage to return the swing! x
 
Thanks Caz - hope the shopping trip helps. When I was just in town I bought a top from french connection for after the baby is born. Okay so I did buy a size 8 but its going to be fine around my tummy but the stupid thing is too tight round my boobs and I haven't even got my milk in yet! Will be taking it with me to westfield tonight to exchange it! Hubby will be so happy :)

It could be the position of the baby - when it drops you should find you have more space to breath. I can actually see some of my ribs now which is amazing and its taken a lot of pressure away from my lungs.
 
I'm not sure what it could be - maybe it's a foot in your ribs or something? Or could you be cold like you said. I hope it improves for you - sorry I can't help more as a first-timer, I never know the answers really! x
 
i rang the maternity unit up and they want me to go in this afternoon.
 
Topaz I had exactly the same, I was really breathless towards the end and found things like sighing and yawning really difficult!

Just had an update from Georgie (Blue_bear). She was admitted last night. Shes currently 4cm dilated and in an awful lot of pain - she's giving the scornful MW's loads of grief (that's ma girl!) and currently waiting for an epidural.

Good luck!!!

AFM - I seem to have the best newborn ever. I have never had so much sleep. Suspect it will be different when DH goes back to work and I am having to do Harry's nursery drop off but until then, I am getting a good 9 hours sleep a night, divided into 3 solid portions. Thanks Soph!
 
Just thought i'd show you guys my uber-bump! Photo's a bit dark but you get the idea... :)

aww thanks DM. i wish i FELT healthy too! :haha:

So pleased Soph is treating ya well. She is just too cute.

Thanks for the update on Georgie, i was wondering... Hang in there BB, hopefully pain will ease up once you get that epidural in you and baby J will be in your arms soon! x
 
That's a great update on Georgie, I've been thinking of her and hoping thus was it! Yippee!

Linds - glad Soph is a good baby!

Simmy - amazing bump shot! You look really well!

Samzi - hope it goes okay at the hospital

AFM - off for a snooze!!
 
Samzi - glad you are going in. I hope it goes alright and that they can reassure you and put your mind at rest. Take care.

Linds - lovely to hear that Sophie is a good baby. Can she have a word with my soon to arrive baby and teach him/her what sleeping is please?! Or can I know your secret!!! Hope all is well and saw your fb status about returning to your pre-pregnancy weight, amazing after only what a week and a half!!!!

Simmy - amazing bump! I think it looks wonderful and I can't see a stretch mark in sight..... v jealous!!!! Seriously, you look great!

Georgie - hang on in there, you are doing sooooo well and it won't be long until that lovely little baby is in your arms. So exciting!

Off out now to the shops for a bit of retail therapy - shouldn't buy anything other than food for dinner tonight but here's hoping I can restrain myself!
 
Caz the only thing we have done is that she gets swaddled from about 9-10pm until 7am, to try and teach her the difference between night and day. That's it. Whether that has helped or it is all just fluke I don't know. Am not counting my chickens - I know it can change!

hann have a nice nap ;)
 
Simmy- lovely bump, absolutely glowing :hugs:

BB- yeah congrats!!

DM- you are a lucky woman

afm- one week overdue today and absolutely no signs of her coming :wacko: I am going crazy, and really tired of the texts/calls/emails already- it was cute at 40 weeks, not so cute at 41.
i skipped my prenatal class last night, was too miserable.

well u/s for me today, will keep you ladies posted
