Ugh...I'm having some bad symptoms. The carpal tunnel in my hand is incredibly painful I'm often near tears, and now I have a rash on my belly. It's SO itchy...so itchy. It kept me up at night :( I see my doctor tomorrow so I'll ask but it's so itchy I just want to tear my skin off.
 
My belly was itchy with my first but it was the stretch marks starting to come, not a rash.

How’s everyone doing?

Midwife in 2 weeks and 9 weeks until my scan. Things are going so fast!
 
Feels like it has slowed down for me.

Next appointment is diabetes test on 30th April and then midwife on 4th may. 24 plus 2 so passed v day which is a big relief.

So excited to know what baby is. Everyone saying I'm carrying like a girl and completely different to the boys
 
I don't feel like it's stretch marks coming, I feel like I have 1-2 on the side of my hips but the rash is on the sides/middle of my belly...I don't see stretch marks and it's much more pronounced than I think a stretch mark rash would be?? It's red and bumpy...going to ask doctor about it today. Got some relief with Gold Bond last night thank goodness, I was in agony!
 
Hopefully the doctor can shed some light on it!

Had two doctors visits with DD yesterday and today. She picked some dry skin off her lip and made it bleed. It started to swell slowly and just ballooned! It got hard, warm and was about 7x the size of her normal lip. She’s having penicillin now and it’s going down luckily.

Movements are getting stronger, I can feel him/her moving around everywhere rather than just kicks and jerks.

I’m so excited to know what this one is too, Glong!

What is your gut feeling??

See for me I'm spilt I can only see myself with another boy and based on little things I saw on scans I'm sure espically the 12 week one I saw a willy however I feel so different I'm carrying so different and generally don't feel pregnant however with the boys I felt sick and awful...

Hmmmm so interesting to see if it's a different sex causing the different pregnancies or just my body reacting better to this one maybe because baby has the same blood as me (rhese negative and both boys not either)

Honestly I feel like it’s a girl, I’m carrying the same as DD. All of my dreams have been of a girl. I’m happy whatever the gender though :)
 
Glong I'm with you on feeling like time is going by slowly. Maybe it is because we are do at the end of the month and seem so far behind everyone else? I just wish I was in the third trimester now so I could be in the home stretch. I'm so tired of SPD and... well... being tired LOL. Everything is getting heavier now and I'm having a hard time being on my feet for long periods of time.

I had itching in my third pregnancy for some weird reason but never had it in any others. I assumed it was stretching because there wasn't really any other reason for it. I remember I did break out in little red pimple-like bumps but also ended up getting more stretch marks with her than anyone else so idk. The midwife told me to use aloe on it but it didn't really help. Unfortunately it lasted my entire pregnancy however it did go away as soon as I gave birth.
 
Anyone else been super grumpy and irritable recently? I’m using hormones and lack of sleep as an excuse.

On a brighter note... I have confirmed my last day of work which will be 15th June , less than 2.5 months to go AND I still have lots of annual leave to take. Our leave year starts in Jan so I pretty much have the years entitlemrnt to take before mat leave.

Also made a start on preparations which has got me super excited. Bought babies coming home outfit... crib, breastpump and other little bits and bobs.

Anyone thought about using reusable nappies? Looks like they are so much fancier now than when I had DD and would like to try and save some £s and the environment a little bit (even if I just use them part time) but I have no idea where to start?
 
My mood has been all over the place. One minute I'm snapping at my husband for nothing, the next I'm laughing hysterically over something super corny, and then I'm crying my eyes out. I haven't been this way since first tri lol
 
I've been so irritable and emotional. I swear I fluctuate between total love for my DH and then the next minute I am like...why are you breathing so loud LOL. So strange!

I'm still waiting to sort out my last day of work and holiday entitlement, as of now my last day is June 29 but if I do have to use another week or two of holidays then I might be off earlier, I think I'll only have like 2-3 days to use as I am taking next week off (at the behest of my boss, and honestly, I need it!). I also have flex days, one a month, for April-June to use so that's another 3 days too. And of course it all depends on baby, everyone at work is convinced baby is coming early (thanks?) because I'm huge lol.

Passed my GD test! WOO. And baby measured a week ahead. I start every two week appointments in two weeks. Crazy!

Ginaj - I did cloth diapers with my first and am planning on doing it this time as well. I recommend watching some videos explaining the different types of cloth diapers. There are sooooo many that it can all be a little overwhelming.

I haven't been on here in ages! Life just got busy and I finally started feeling better from the nausea and my energy came back, so I've been spending less time online. I'm feeling massive already and have been dealing with rib and mid-back pain and feeling the constant need to pee already. Pregnancy is such a weird time in life. Baby's nursery is an absolute mess as I've been trying to sort through and sell/donate all of my daughters clothes to make room for baby boy's stuff. I should be doing more right now because I know I won't feel up to doing anything in third trimester when it's blazing hot.

Hard to believe that we're all nearing the third trimester!!
 
It's crazy we are all almost in third tri. It's gone by fast! (But also slow at times lol)
 
Ginaj - I've never personally used cloth diapers but I have a close friend who does and she absolutely loves them! She's used them since her baby was born and has never looked back. She even says that she dreads the day when her baby - her first - starts potty training because she won't be able to pick out the cute designs LOL. Those who have the time for it I definitely say all the power to you! Definitely more better reasons to use cloth than disposable.
 
It's been a bit quiet on there these last couple of days :)

I had my GD test this morning, didn't think the drink was bad at all. Tasted like flat orange soda. I haven't gotten the results back yet but I'm not too worried.

I'm now counting down until 4/26 when we are getting the 4d ultrasound done. I can't wait to see what our girl looks like!! Anyone else having the 4d ultrasound done?
 
Jwc I’m debating having a 4d scan done but I’m cheap! Haha. I really want to see her sweet face, though!
 
I have never had any ultrasounds that werent just the regular planned ones. I just imagine my baby will look like my son :haha:

I had my GTT on Monday and get my results on Saturday. I had my whooping cough vaccination on Tuesday. I also will get my anti-D shot. I had a few other things checked too - vitamin D & iron. I had low iron at the start so have been taking iron supplements. We need to see if they are doing anything to help me. Also I have my liver bile acid levels checked too because of cholestasis last pregnancy. Unfortunately I have noticed mild itching on my feet and hands. Im hoping it's nothing, but i dont have a good feeling about it.

Hope everyone is well! I cant believe im in 3rd trimester already! Eek!
 
I’d love a 4D scan but I really don’t want to reveal the gender so we’re just going to be patient and wait :)
 
Buffy I’ve had some itching as well but mostly on my belly! Sometimes my legs. Doctor didn’t seem worried and it has gotten better but she did mention PUPPS. Luckily it doesn’t appear to be that but I’m on watch for it! I hope the itching doesn’t get worse for you.

Last week of second tri! I remember at like 15 weeks thinking second tri was sooo long! And here we are. It’s going fast... which is good as I’m excited to meet baby but OMG we have so much to do lol
