Mum- Enjoy your scan today!

And yeah I'll post pics of the nursery soon. Bedding is supposed to arrive later this week so will do it after that. Would really like to find a bookcase... there's one I like made by Ikea that only $69 but then after shipping its $299!! Ugh!

Libbyam- we got a Amazon prime membership have used it to buy big pieces small pieces just about everything and stockpiled diapers everything with prime is free 2 day shipping! Have a look at it it might be something of use to you! I have been really impressed!!!

 

[libbyam2003]

Sumday, I have Amazon Prime too and love it!! Yeah I looked on there and didn't see something comparable... I'm wanting the style thats open on the top shelf for like a lamp etc. The Hensvik Cabinet with shelf unit from Ikea is exactly the style!

 

[Phantom710]

Popped in and saw that you all have 3 babies already?! Holy crap!

Congrats

Scan wemt well. Baby measures at 4lb 2. It's not always accurate but dd1 was 5lb 13 when she was born at 37 weeks so looks like this baby will be bigger. Hopwfully that's a sign that pre-e is staying away. No protein and good bp too so really have my fingers crossed that it will stay that way now.

I've been discharged from the consultant. I asked if this meant I was now less likely to get it again. They said no. Not really sure what the point in monitoring me to 32 weeks is when it qas identified at 36 weeks last time but there you go! I'll keep making my wedkly bp and urine checks myself at the doctors so I know what's going on at least.

Count down for mat leave is on. Tomorrow is my last wednesday!

Jealous of all the finished nurseries. Mine is nowhere near ready and I just want it done! We have someone coming to look at the rad next week though and then we can get the carpet!

 

[libbyam2003]

Yeah odd for them to stop monitoring right before you get to where you might develop it! Glad to hear you think things will go smoother this time!

You will have time to work on your nursery on mat leave! That will be nice! Those with more done might be like me and working till the end. I know I won't use the nursery for ages, but yeah nice to have it done before the birth at least... too busy after that!

We won't need it straight away either but i'm impatient to have it done! I"ve had it planned since our bfp. Hopefully we can finish it in time.

 

[libbyam2003]

Blah! Work is stressful to the max today! I got a bunch of stuff piled on my and I totally freaked out and ever since then I've had BH galore... bump is so sore now and feels like I'm doing a constant situp, ouch!! Working hard to get this stuff done... it'll have to get done by Apr 30 one way or another... so MAy will be a nice breather! Come on, May!

 

[mummySS]

Come on May indeed! Sorry work is so stressful libby, it sucks that they pile work on you - and clearly it's having a physical impact on you which is sad... Oh and the hensvik cabinet looks really good (just did a quick google as i'm also looking for a bookshelf - thanks!).

Mumumum, glad the scan went well and baby's measuring right - so weird that they discharged you now!

So our nanny resigned today, we already told her that we wouldn't need her come July, but we REALLY need her before then! So I am a bit peeved that she's already found another job, and she only needs to give one week;s notice, grrr... Anyway I called Leo's nursery and luckily they have avaiability on weds and thurs mornings so i'll just have to look after him in the afternoon and catch up with work in the evenings... Such bad timing as i am really struggling to chase after him at the moment!

 

[SHAMto3]

So crampy today anyone else still getting cramps??

 

[Jcliff]

wow june babies born already? I hope they are all healthy! 8 more weeks for me!

My doctor has pulled the pin on work. I had planned on staying until just over 36 weeks but I have had really bad back and rib pain that spasms. It stops me in my tracks and brings tears to my eyes. Was getting worse with work and my patients were more concerned about me than themselves. After my father inlaw had a serious car accident and having to go to a specialised hospital an hr and half away. I knew I wasn't going to be able to rest as much on my days off and with all the walking in and out of the hospital and car travel it was time to be sensible. It was such a relief handing in the sick certificate and not much later my father inlaw is at home! Very lucky man to be alive and walking.

Is anyone finding their BH getting more frequent and more intense? I feel like my tummy is constantly hard. When my OB was measuring and feeling my tummy it was really sore.

 

[Jellycat]

Libby know exactly how you are feeling I'm counting down the days left at work - I'm most certainly not slowing down.

Mummyss - how annoying your nanny has left ! On one weeks notice too . We've booked JJ full time at nursery until end of June so we are covered when I go into labour at day times.

Shamto3 - totally feeling uncomfortable today have since the weekend my bump feels stretched and huge, can't get comfy, pelvis is dire, waddle when I walk, puffy ankles in the heat - really not sure how baby can possibly grow for another 9 weeks in here. I'm not going to be able to do anything for myself.

 

[Medzi]

I don't think I've had any BHs! But I don't really know what they feel like. Sometimes my tummy feels hard when I touch it but I don't feel it.

I also ended up at the hospital today By blood pressure has been so high so I called and they told me to go in. When I got there my BP was 157/107. They hooked me up to a non stress test for about an hour with BP readings every 10 mins. Cubby is super happy and looked great. My BP went down while I was there but still a bit high. So they upped my meds from 90mg to 120mg, I have lab work tomorrow to check protein (with me, it is hard because I have kidney disease so always leak some protein), I have to start calling in my BP readings, ultrasound on Monday, and go back in on Tuesday. If I get a diastolic reading of over 100 twice in a row they want me to go to L&D. I'm feeling ok though - I just have to rest more and relax... Hopefully pre-e stays away!!

 

[Sw33tp3a]

had my scan today baby was 133 hbp and she is 15.9 inches long. she is weighing 3.8 pounds also. so happy she is healthy cant wait to see her in 8 weeks.

 

[Kellya009]

Aw I have to wait till 36 weeks for my growth scan!! 22 more days till we see bubs and how much she weighs! I haven't gained any weight in a month though now.... Hopefully she still is even if mum isn't!!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Wow can't believe we have June babies being born already!
Its 5 weeks today until my planned c section date. I get a feeling it's going to draaaag.

 

[libbyam2003]

Ttcnewb - Sorry you are dealing with those pains! But glad you can rest some now. And, yes, BH galore these days and they hurt and make my bump sore! Hard to tell that they are BH now versus contractions. It’s confusing!

Mummy - oh man what bad timing with the nanny leaving! Good that you can move around your schedule but yeah I find myself leaving my dd at daycare longer and longer after work because getting harder! But makes me feel bad to do that sigh!

Sham - I had real low back and bump pains for a few hours this morning starting at 315 am... crampy feeling that kept me awake. Not sure what it is!

Medzi - Do you feel different when your BP is high? I see a lot of people on here saying high BP and mine is always fine at the dr but not even sure how I'd know if it wasn’t on a regular day?

Sweetpea - yay for your scan! I get another one at some point and I can't wait!

Kelly, yah I think I have mine at 36 weeks probably too for growth check! I want it to hurry up and be time!

 

[tashalina]

I really should make more effort to come on here there is so much to catch up with lol...

Wow June babies born already, hope they are doing ok

Reading about all of you being so organised makes me realise how much iv got to sort out haha. I agree its difficult with 2nd or 3rd etc coz I still have some stuff from last time that I can use again but i dont really know what. Think I need to have a proper sort out!!!

I have been suffering this week with pelvic pain, not sure if its spd/pgp kicking in, im struggling to walk without it hurthing and its embarassing to have to have to tell my 2 year old DD to slow down so I can keep up haha.

I have MW on friday and then finally got a consultant appoinment on monday for my bmi (a bit late now but when I finally saw my proper mw at 8 weeks she said I should have been referred ages ago!!)

I have been getting more BH too recently, didnt have them in my previous pregnancies so its an unusual feeling for me lol. Hoping that will mean my body will be very efficient in labour


Glad to be in single figures for count down weeks as of tomorrow ill only have 9 weeks left Im sure that will fly by x

 

[Medzi]

libby - no, I usually don't feel any different. But some signs are headache, dizziness, seeing spots, some chest pain... those are what they always ask me about at the doctor, but honestly, I haven't really had any, except maybe dizziness but nothing even that bad. Then they ask about swelling, but I think that is more of a pre-e symptom and not just blood pressure. I have a monitor at home so that is how I check it throughout the day. This morning I felt fine but it was high when I checked (154/92)...
