just back from my brothers and his gf.. i loved having cuddles with my baby niece a week old todayalso was nice to see my oh holding such a small baby!
hope everyone is having a nice weekend, im so excited we just bought our mosses basket brand new of someone who got two as a present, and shes only charging us 25 for it and the stand which woudl normally be 90-150 as a set usually esp with the base!
aww how lovely having newborn cuddles
thats a bargain for the moses basket, its great when you start getting the odd bits here and there
Hi girls, thought I would pop back in and say hello. I tend to spend most of my time in the other sections now, and.. I don't get an awful lot of time! (Tonight's fun activity was dealing with my toddler who poored a bowl of tomato sauce over himself)
Baby is doing well and active despite the fact I have quite a lot of pains. Had a midwife change and she has worried me terribly, but am trying to remember the first midwife was a lot more optimistic (and was also my original midwife with Nathaniel, so I trust her a lot more).
To the girls who don't have as active babies, cold drinks and lieing down are honestly the best ways to get them moving. It truely works! Nathaniel barely moved once/twice during my pregnancy and it had me very worried obviously! However we discovered this was because he was sleeping on a permanent basis really. Even during labor he was asleep. So please bare in mind, you can feel only rare movements and have a baby that is perfectly fine. Try not to worry and keep in constant contact with the midwives, mine were always reassuring me with dopplers etc.
nice to see you back and that everything is going well. bear with your new midwife and if you get concerned you could always contact your previous one for advice etc if need be.
yey for 3rd tri, its a great feeling isnt it
be careful getting up and down etc, im struggling to even do normal stuff at home now flump bump is getting bigger like emptying the washing machine. hubster has to help do it now.
thats great your oh is back home, hope tuesday goes well for you. i have my 28week check up and bloods then too and have the same attitude to the afternoon off work lol. 8 weeks left at work and counting teehee!
how lovely, you will have to post some pictures when its all finished
Broodybelle let me know how your anti goes, ive mine soon too, have they done much about you being - ?
they havent done anything and they said there gonna take bloods first if there no antigens in my body they wont bother giving me it.. id of thought it was safer to give it me anyway just incase?
baby has def gone head down now as im getting lots of pressure down there and all the kicks are high up now.. and i only get little bubble movements at my lower tummy.
i also felt baby have the hiccups this morning
looks like a few of us are getting that now, rather uncomfortable sometimes im finding though when baby proper presses down, tend to end up waddling a little bit lol. great feeling the kicks higher up though. when i am sat at my desk i can see my tummy sticking out in places when i get a good kick which can be quite distracting, but good
woohoo Firstbean 3rd tri YAY
Emma i hope you have a fun day putting your nursery together, please share some pics once you are done
I had my 4D scan yesterday. My wee monkey was awake from 7:30 and jumping around my tummy for hours so come 11am and scan time and she was fast asleep....cheeky wee thing. Then she had part of the chord and her hands up over her face. After some jiggling she kinds gave us a little glimpse of her beautiful wee face. Such an amazing experience, i think i might wear out my DVD
aww thats fabulous, what lovely pictures too
Hi Girls,
Anyone else is struggling with long car journeys? I can't quite figure out what exactly is the problem but if I am more than 2 hours in the car, my pelvic bones in my bum get really sore and i cannot seem to find a good position. After that i get really stiff and my hips hurt in the night. I have a 7 hour journey to do twice next weekend and really dreading it!!!
Thanks for all your messages about Crufts. My 2 girls (dog) did really well. The puppy behaved perfectly which was the most important and the mum won a second place and lovely rosette in her class
i commute an hour to work and the same back home mon - fri and starting to find that getting uncomfortable towards the end. im forever adjusting my seat. the worst is at work though being sat down most of the day, then find when i go to get up it hurts lots.
glad your dogs did well. oh my being that far along and still running around, mental lady. although yeah probably trying to kickstart her labour lol. got a friend trying to do that now today is her due date, shes been walking miles the last few days to try and shimmy him along a bit, not worked so far though.
Lovely pictures TrAyBaby
In the past couple of days I've started to actually SEE baby kicking from the outside
thats fabby news, also great for your oh as they can see it too
Hello!
I'm knackered, we've just got back from a lovely day at the farm. Holly loved it and so did we, but I am shattered!!
The leg cramps have started for me. I woke last night with the worst leg cramp I have ever had. I got them from about this time with Holly too, but this was something else. It went right from my hip, down my thigh, calf, across my shin and over my ankle to my toes. It was horrendous! I woke up and started jumping around and woke Matt up as I couldn't get rid of it, no matter how much I stretched and I started crying! It was cramping for a good 10 mins and was bloody awful. I felt a bit silly crying at 5am with a leg cramp, but I said to Matt it was worse than bloody labour pains, it was horrible! And even though it went, it has hurt all down my leg all day and still hurts now. Urgh, horrible!! Anyone else getting them?
I'm also getting lots of pressure down below at the mo, just baby getting bigger and pressing down I guess. You can tell we are approaching 30 weeks now, as we are starting to feel it!! I've also started being sick again in the evenings. I did this last time too, although slightly later on than this.
My 4d scan is booked for Saturday!! I'm soooo excited! Baby Premier are doing a special offer for £99 for a 4D scan with photos, a DVD, etc so we are going for that.
TrAybaby I love your piccies
ooo the cramps dont sound fun at all, hope they ease off a bit for you. i havent had any yet but there is still time for them to crop up im sure. getting really bad heartburn/indigestion before i go to bed which is not pleasant even though i feel fine after tea and all the time up to going to bed.
eeek very exciting for your 4d scan, we were going to have one but didnt want to risk finding out what the sex is.
yippee!!!
Not had any leg cramps yet, but have had the feeling that one was going to start a few times and then managed to avoid it. My back is aching like mad today though.
Feeling really down about going into work tomorrow. I work in a team of 3 teachers who teach 3 parallel classes age wise, so we use the same planning etc. One of the teachers was moved into my team last year and has been a nightmare ever since. The only reason she was moved into my team was that the other teacher that worked alongside her refused to work with her anymore! I've tried to be patient and make allowances for her however she has been teaching significantly longer than me, gets paid more than me and doesn't do anywhere near the same amount of work as me and continually lets the team down. She has been off sick for the last two weeks and whilst it has been stressful trying to pick up the pieces of where she left off, it has been bliss not to have to see her. She is back in tomorrow and I've been having panic attacks about the thought of seeing her. Surely this isn't good for me or the baby!? I just know that she will be in a right mess because she won't have a clue what she is doing and I don't have the energy or patience to cope with it. I'm her team leader, so it's my responsibility to deal with all the crap- but I can't face it.
I'm just sat here crying as I don't want to have to face work in the morning. DH not back from Dubai until later- hoping he can talk some sense into me! I have never considered ringing in sick before, when I'm perfectly healthy but this is really getting to me. Stupid pregnancy hormones and even stupider work colleague!!!
thats awful hunni, the only thing i can think of for you to do is have a word with the head or take it to someone higher. it isnt good at all for you to be feeling like this, especially if its upsetting you to this extent. the only thing you could do to make something happen to sort it is to threaten with having to take sick leave due to stress, as that is what you are dealing with and you shouldnt have to. hubster mum and dad are head teachers and have had to deal with something similar at their schools, ended up having to get rid of the staff memeber not pulling their weight (had plenty of warnings) but the school committee/governors or whoever decided they had enough. massive hugs chick.
ive had a nice relaxing weekend so far, watched a few films, been food shopping and managed to hunt out some bargains on ebay.
got a vibrating bouncer from ebay for £16, its a mamas and papas one and is lovely and brightly coloured. not sure if you will be able to see it as its ended but its this one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180834471166?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
and the best bit is that some of the proceeds i made last weekend from my ebay selling paid for it
just had a yummy roast chicken dinner with all of the trimmings for tea, and then a bowl of strawberries with some clotted cream ice cream for pud
not looking forward to getting up for work tomorrow, really struggling with mornings at the moment with my broken uncomfortable sleep
got yoga in the evening though which cheers me up a bit and then only half a day tuesday as got my 28wk appt in the afternoon. hope you have all had a good weekend x

DH has been leaving for work at 4.30 so by the time I get comfy and fall back to sleep again I have grace jumping all over me!
