I have a really bad phobia about giving birth, so i know how you feel Tinkerbelle.

I'm not really afraid to give birth again. I just hope my labor is shorter than the 40 hours I had last time and that I progress so I can have the natural birth I want

Ok so does anyone have any favorite stores for maternity pants/jeans? I am not a fan of full panel at all, I feel like I'm the odd one out on that because the gap seems to have almost no choices in anything but. The full panel just seem itchy and not comfortable. From my daughter I have one pair of slacks that are my favorite: they are just a low stretch panel in the front and regular looking in the back: love love love them! I want to say they called them the ultimate panel? Now they have this demi panel that is low stretchy but goes all the way around - don't like this as much. Also, note, I'm 5'11" so long lengths are a must at least 34" inseam which narrows my choices down some more.

So, does anyone have some favorite stores to share?
Suggestions on new styles?

I'm starting to panic a bit about giving birth again. I think until now it's not been bothering me because I've not been thinking about it at all. But last night I started to think about birth plans ect and did a bit of online research abut giving birth and then found myself reading about emergency forceps like what I had with DS, I saw an image of an emergency forceps delivery in theatre similar to my own and it really triggered things and I got into such a state, shaking and crying. I just don't know how I'll be if I have a similar experience this time.

And now I'm also getting panicked that they won't let me change my scan tomorrow, I definitely know now I don't want to go back into that hospital

Good luck with everything

Yesterday it seems that my little nudges have progressed to proper little kicks. Amazing!
I'm also starting to get that 'full' feeling in my pelvis like my uterus is pressing against the inside? I know what I mean but it's difficult to explain.
My pelvis is getting increasingly sore at my si joints so looking like I might be getting spd again. Fortunately I had it reasonably mild previously. I spend the entire 12 hours at work on my feet with an extra half hour for lunch and after I'd sat down for lunch it felt like I was a pensioner trying to get my hips working again lol!

Did anyone not do pelvic floor exercises with previous pregnancies?

I didn't with ds I got advised to but thought it wasn't important since having him I've noticed I have bladder weakness if I need to go usually I have to etc ..

not sure if it's that now but I don't think it's leaking fluid etc if I go to the toilet I feel after like something is leaking not major just slightly

Other news 5 more days til my scan confirm I am having a girl and see if she's growing okay!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I have that full sort of feeling and pressure on bladder too. Still no movement though

I didn't do the exercises as often as you're supposed to beccy and I do notice my bladder is weaker now!

 

[Starlight32]

Thanks to those who eased my mind about the sore stomach. I think everything is ok because I'm feeling movement, I'm just such a worry wart. I felt baby moving a bunch last night she is quiet this morning though.

I'm going to specifically tell the tech when I go back for the other pictures to please not push hard. I don't understand why she was pushing if she didn't have to

Boosted, I hated the maternity pants that I've tried. I'm going to try to just wear dresses and yoga pants.

Tinkerbelle - I hope the appointment goes well today and they can reassure you about changing your scan to the other hospital.

I had my mw appointment today, it was so cute hearing baby's heartbeat!
I can't believe I'll be 24 weeks when I next have an appointment, ages away!

come on scan letter where are you?!!!?!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Struggling with maternity jeans here too. I'm short so trying to find petitie maternity jeans seems impossible. Especially ones at a good price. They are too baggy. I like a skinny pair. Dno how anyone can out up with bootcut etc. Like they sag at the knees etc and I like to wear boots but the maternity ones bunch up on the boots. Looks bloody awful

 

[vaniilla]

I'm the opposite rhi , I only really wear bootcut Next do differing lengths of trousers.

 

[Starlight32]

My next ob appt is tomorrow! Then two weeks until they do the other scan to get the missing pictures and another two weeks until the next ob. I can't wait to be at 24 weeks. That's considered v day right?

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Can you wear them with boots?! The name suggests so. But when I try it looks messy.

you can but only if you wear your trousers over your boots rather than tucked as they're quite wide at the bottom, They do skinny jeans too though.

i didn't. because i read so many times the woman who did didn't have any difference from woman who didnt. my mother said the same. she did them. didn't do a darn thing.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I didn't do them last time and haven't this time. I know i should, I'm just a lazy moo

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I do when I remember... haha.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Had my 16w appointment today. She didn't listen to the heartbeat - boo!

 

[mommyxofxone]

seriously? that's so weird! mine always listen! like first thing almost. and pretty much all they do lol.

Rhi, I have the same problem because I am petite 5ft and usually places only do petite OR maternity and not both because, you know, short people don't get pregnant ever.

I managed to find a lovely pair from Next for £30 a couple of weeks ago, not proper jeans but denim leggings but more jeansy than leggings if you get what I mean. They are over the bump and in the short size option. They don't go baggy at the knees so go well with boots. Comfiest jeans I have ever owned! I wore them all week because they were so comfy I didn't want to wash them 😂 and you couldn't tell because they didn't lose their shape.
