Texmel - I agree. This is my first time having a posterior placenta and I cant believe the difference in movement! It's insane. I feel this baby ALL the time. I actually said to DH tonight that I hope that he sleeps when he comes out!!

Unique - I don't imagine it is the PPH. I had them with each of my kids and I'm not a high risk. It must be to do with something else.

Alli - I actually cannot believe that at almost 25 weeks Im not MORE uncomfortable. I know I bring the gym thing up all the time, but it has made the biggest difference. I can often even forget I'm pregnant. Aside from peeing literally like 3 times an hour, I'm actually feeling pretty good at this point. My last two pregnancies without exercise, I was definitely struggling with back pain & had trouble sleeping comfortably.

Just found out yesterday my SIL is 8 weeks pregnant!!! So exciting, she is due in October. They did IVF (for the second time, we have our 4 year old nephew from IVF as well). I cried when they told us. She was so kind and said she didn't want to steal my/our thunder (her brother and I) because this is our first and we deserve to be excited and spoiled but honestly I am very excited...our babies will be so close in age and will be cousins and I hope best friends.

Perhaps I should have made more of an effort in first tri but I just felt so sick...honestly getting to work was a miracle let alone doing something active! I went for a walk the other day and felt miserable the whole afternoon after...very demotivating, but I know I need to keep it up so I will be doing my best to try and keep the activity level up, even if it's just walking or whatever. Harder in the winter here, when it just keeps snowing then melting (hence, ice) and now I have a bunion (hurray) on my foot which makes walking hard lol. If it isn't one thing it's another. But it's my goal to walk at least 30 minutes 3-4 times a week! I'm also starting prenatal yoga soon which I know will help as well, and doing massage. I've just been listening to my body and when it said rest, I rested.

Hey ladies. So I went for my 20week scan last Friday and all looked well, have to go back on Monday to complete the checks because we couldn't see everything from the angle baby was comfortably lying in! So we get to see baby again which is nice. We did find out the gender but I can't reveal just yet lol I am having a family lunch gender reveal next week and will be letting everyone know then. My sister uses this forum and I wouldn't want her to find out before she is meant to although I'm sure she isn't reading in here one can never be too careful!

So I didn't see a request on fb Alli, hopefully I am looking in the correct place but pretty sure I am. I'm also going to go to prenatal yoga soon let me know if you find it helpful! I understand you not feeling like exercising during first tri I was also really sick and list lots of weight just felt rotten no way I could of exercised then but am back to walking every day now which is good.

Has anyone heard from eppgirl I was just thinking she was sick last time I read in here and hope she's ok now.

Just sent you a message edd - might have to add you as a friend on FB to get you into the group, not sure why it's not working sending the email invite! Annoying.

Well I'm back from my anatomy scan. Everything looked well however they were unable to get a profile picture because LO had his face smashed into the placenta so they plan to have us come back at a later date. I had to anyways because they're keeping an eye on my fluid levels to make sure I don't end up with polyhydramnios again. Baby is measuring in the 97th percentile already. Big boy. No wonder I've been feeling so much movement.

Edd & Lilmiss - glad your scans went well

Alli - I know exactly what you mean because that's the reason I didn't exercise my last two pregnancies. I just felt too sick. This time even though I felt sick, I forced myself. I wouldn't be going out in the snow either! I go to the gym which makes it easy for all weather. Also I can't be too far away from a toilet
Exciting news about your SIL!

I had to visit triage today and have been told I have a UTI and given antibiotics. I am really anxious to take these in pregnancy has anyone ever experienced this?

 

[Buffyx]

Yes JLLM. I have avoided any UTIs this time around, but I had them in my last two pregnancies. It is totally fine to take the antibiotics

I have, however, had thrush 3 times this pregnancy. Ugh. The joys!!

Alli that’s so exciting about your SIL and super sweet they were trying to be super considerate too
I have the same goal of walking a couple of times a week and doing aqua aerobics as well. This week I’ve managed to get one walk done ... oops.

 

[Alligator]

Yes so sweet of them to be kind and considerate, of course I am nothing but excited for them, thrilled we'll have kids close in age!

Don't worry about having to take the antibiotics is it amoxicillin? They will be safe and make you feel better. I needed 2 courses of antibiotics last month for a chest infection. I have had them in previous pregnancies also with no problems to me or baby. Its not nice having to take them but its worse to be ill and suffering xx

The ones they have given me are called CEFALEXIN. I am hoping they clear it up pretty quickly I am just a worrier about these things!

Sorry to hear u had a chest infection they are bad enough without also being pregnant.

 

[Buffyx]

Yes. I had antibiotics with my UTI's. It will be OK. They wouldn't give it to you if it wasn't safe

Have they given you an idea on weight c

Glong they said about a pound and a half was the estimated weight.

JLLM - I had to take antibiotics for a UTI in the beginning of this pregnancy. Just had an ultrasound and everything was fine, no ill effects from the antibiotics. They're quite common while you're pregnant because of your growing uterus pressing against your bladder.

 

[JLLM]

Thanks everyone have started the antibiotics today!

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Hope it clears for you soon
