Glad the scan went well Tink.
Lil pixie I think I've felt movement when in the car.

He was 6lb 3oz so not overly small, but he was born at 41+2 and they said they'd expect a baby to be bigger at that gestation, and also going by the fact I'm an average height too. I think she said some hospitals just go on weight alone and don't take gestation into account which is probably what my old place does and why it wasn't mentioned.

I've felt movement while in a car several times (passenger, as I rarely drive and haven't since getting pregnant). I usually don't feel movement while I'm moving my body around around though, like walking. I feel baby moving most when I'm sitting or lying down.

Tinker belle, glad the scan went well!

I'm super nervous about my scan today because I don't want them too push hard! I'm also of course paranoid about slips with the weather and roads getting there.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

No sorry, not felt anything like that yet pixie, although i'm always driving when i'm out and about so at this point i would probably not notice in the same way i would if i was sat still on a bus/train.

Tink - I'm glad the scan went well, it sounds like they're keeping on top of things and looking after you and lo. You're stronger than us by staying on team yellow, we have no resolve

Pixie - no movement when moving, no movement at all really here - I hope it starts soon as I'm starting to feel more and more worried with no sign of reassurance.

Glad your scans went well, Tink & Dory

Becy.

Hope all goes well for you too Starlight!

Tinker my dd was only 6.6 at 40+6. They caught that she was SGA at an ultrasound during 3rd tri though and had been monitoring me with ultrasounds and non stress tests up until I delivered her. She was pretty consistently measuring 12-15% in size during that time and they said if she dropped to 10% they would consider her to be IUGR and would induce. Luckily that never happened and hopefully I don't have that problem again but they never even said anything about her size after she was born. I thought she ended up being a pretty decent size after all the fuss about it.

 

[Dory85]

Forgot to add that I was right about my placenta being posterior. I'm surprisingly pleased about that because my son's movements were so clear and constant.

 

[Boo44]

Is anyone else peeing ALL the time? Just today I've noticed I'm needing a wee loads. No pain. I was wondering if it's because I've reintroduced caffeine but usually I drink a ton of water so I wouldn't have thought that would make a difference .... But yes, peeing looooads today. I even dipped my urine and it's clear. Maybe it's just uterus pressure although I've never had it with my other pregnancies....

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Nothing had ever been said about him being too small before, they just put all the figures in a computer and it flagged it as a previous low weight baby. Not a big concern but it's nice to be offered the extra care, and makes me feel more that choosing this hospital was the right decision

Feeling strong movement so much now! I can't believe it, it's gone from literally nothing to tons in a few days which seems odd.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Boo I'm sure coffee and caffeine does make you wee more than drinking the same amount of non caffeinated fluids so it could be that x

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Boo I'm desperate to pee all the time the last few days I nearly didn't make it home in time earlier

 

[joo]

Glad your scans went well tinkerbelle and Dory xx

Oh my goodness I have major butterflies, it's my turn tomorrow at 11:30! My OH has the day off work- I am thinking he will have to sit out with DD to start with and then they will let them come in if all ok, does that sound about right? I hope they both get to come in though. Did anyone have to bring a pee sample? I have misplaced my letter but don't remember it saying on there.

 

[Boo44]

Glad it's not just me!!!

 

[GeralynB]

Hormones can make you have to pee more.

I'm feeling a lot more movement the last few days

 

[mommyxofxone]

I finally don't have to pee every five seconds. I totally was I swear every five minutes in the bathroom peeing!!

This baby pushes SO hard on the right side of my intestines. Like make a lump and I have to push on it to stop him. It hurts something fierce! Never had this with dd. When I push he stops and moves but omg when he's doing it its painful. And he's only 9oz. What the hell am I gonna do when he's baby sized?!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Good luck joo. I've never had to bring a wee sample to any scans but I guess it can vary place to place x

I have this too!! And Micah never did this to me either! This little lady is seriously squashing my insides, and at night I can feel all the food I've eaten that day just sitting high up and unable to get anywhere because she's just parked her bum right on my intestines!!

 

[Dory85]

Didn't need a urine sample here. At every single scan I've had throughout my three pregnancies they have commented on my ability to store ridiculous amounts in my bladder lol. I guess it's my skill as a nurse.

I just had an email confirming my annual leave and I'm feeling much more positive. The other pregnant girls at work are finishing up at 29 weeks and 32 so I was dreading trying to stay as long as I did last time but with my annual leave, the longest stretch I have between now and maternity leave is 4 weeks. It will fly by. First to get this 3 and a half weeks done and then I have 2 weeks off ��

 

[Starlight32]

I'm so upset. The tech was the same. I told her to not push. She did better. Baby was not cooperating. The dr came in and I guess the tech felt rushed and started pushing I wish I would have spoke up. My tummy hurts now.
