Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[PreggyEggy]

I'm very rarely around here, but just thought I'd peek in and say hello! Hope everyone is doing well. Not long now huh?

My nipples changed a lot with my first pregnancy...the areola got bigger and got very dark and the actual nipple bit was massive and very defined, but they were tiny before. The changes in shape stayed, but the colour eventually returned to normal (took maybe a year and a half though!).

My nipples are soooo dark this time they've gone a really dark brown! They're normally pale pink so it's a very drastic change, lol. TMI but it bothers me so much! At least I know they'll change back eventually though...

I read they go dark so your newborn can see them against your skin, because their eyesight is very poor at birth.

I havent gained any stretch marks as yet. But im religiously putting on bio oil 2 times a day and my skin still feels pretty moisturised. Im hoping this will help! I am also trying to swim everyday even for half hour and walk every evening. I dread the day i dont get to do this...hopefully not! I feel great for it and have actually toned up!

Im still feeling lots of jabs below my bellybutton but some up by my ribs..unless i lye on my side cause it feels like he bounces off the bed lol!

Boobs pretty much the same just a.bit bigger and darker.

And...as for the bellybutton i still have an innie..phew hehe!

My glucose test was normal, I'm finally in the third trimester, school started back today and we got to see Sam today! So all in all great day!

Maze, I hope you are doing better!

I don't have any stretch marks yet and I hope I don't get any. My nipples are darker and a tad larger but all and all they haven't changed a whole lot, my bbs are just bigger.

Here are some pictures of my little man

Had my 30w scan today to check my placenta. Its moved so I can keep on track with my homebirth.

Baby has engaged and is head down. Not sure if he/she will move position.

Cute pics Jbell, glad your test cam back normal!

Congrats Goddess it sounds like great news all around for your home birth! With my son he was head down very early, but this one seems all over the place!

That's great news!!

Jbell, what a cutie.

Preggy, it makes sense that the nipples get darker so the baby can find them. I hope mine get smaller after though.

Sorry I haven't been around in a while... great pictures jbell and I am happy to hear your placenta has moved up goddess!

Ok for all you second time mommies... is it normal to feel your baby this low this early??? If feeling like he/she is about of sick a foot right out of my vaj-j when it kicks!!! Lol.. I didn't feel this with my first until the last month! It is so low I feel like I could feel the head in I were to put my fingers in there (I haven't tried... lol)

June bugs I feel the same this time around and after seeing my babies head wedged deep in the birth canal yesterday I am not surprised.

I don't feel it because I think my lo stays transverse most days, but I have heard lots of second time mommies say this.

 

[lady1985]

I think my bub is transverse as i feel him pushing out from the sides above my hip bone...it can be so uncomfortable after a meal. I will find out on monday at my next scan.

Lovely pics jbell. He looks like he's happy in there x

[goddess25]

Welcome and yay to some more girls on team yellow.

 

[ptr]

Wohoo for team yellow!!! How many of us so far? I think 5?

 

[Girly922]

Welcome

I think there's a few of us on team yellow still

Baby went back to bring transverse again just before bed last night but for the majority of yesterday he/she was head down. I was getting a lot of BHs too but I think that was mainly from the shock I had. I spent almost all of yesterday in a&e after my best friend had a car accident. Another colleague and I got to the scene moments after the crash and was there as she had to be cut out of her car. I then went in the ambulance with her. Everyone kept asking if I was okay, I hate to think how I must've looked but my manager and several of the firemen thought I was gonna go into labour there and then! Fortunately she didn't break anything, she is one lucky lady! And only has minor injuries. Still, nearly scared me to death (or labour) lol!

 

[broodymrs]

How awful girly. Glad your friend was ok.

 

[goddess25]

Glad to hear your friend was ok, sounds like she was one very lucky lady.

 

[Girly922]

She really is. Turns out she dislocated both knees though so will have a nice long rest from work! Lol.
