Sorry to hear about your scan sr. It sounds like they are taking good care of you and baby which is good. Thinking of you.

 

[Girly922]

Anyone suffering from sorry if tmi...loose bowels? I've had it now every morning for nearly two week, just in the morning though! I've checked Dr. Google and it says the body cleans itself out for delivery, but surely not this early!!

I did a couple of weeks ago, but was also going about 4 times a day. Then went back to being constipated. And have gone the other way again now. Not going quite so many times a day, about 2, but definitely a lot looser. Had an episode a couple of nights ago where it really felt like my body was clearing everything out!! Lol. Not sure if its just caused by baby changing movement.

Glad they're taking care of you sister rose. And you got the steroid shot, definitely peace of mind.

I'm so jealous, ladies. I haven't gone in over a week. Actually, I don't remember the last time I had a satisfying trip to the bathroom. Even when I'm done peeing, I always feel like I could pee more. And then I stand up, sneeze, and realize I could have, haha.

I'm not super uncomfortable or anything so im not too worried. I bet I'd be back to my prepregnancy weight after giving birth and a trip to the bathroom.

 

[Girly922]

This peeing thing is really starting to irritate me. Lol. I constantly need to go. I go, and before I even stand up I feel like I need to go again. But there's nothing left in my bladder. Think baby must be laying on a nerve or something. But it's definitely getting on my nerves!! Lol. I can't wait for the day I can go a few hours without having to constantly pander to my bladder.

 

[twinkletoe]

Yep they really do sting! I felt like I'd been kicked in the leg for about 10 minutes afterwards too
At least the steroids will help babies lungs, like you said it's very reassuring x

Sorry about the stressful time sister rose.......but yes I do agree I get a degree of comfort knowing I've had the injections the really really stingy injections!! :-0 but worth it!!
Hope all is ok and baby grows and cooks well for you!

 

[twinkletoe]

Sorry about the varying BMs ladies......I seem to go to and fro between both problems! Which I suppose creates a bit of a balance but its still annoying! Oh the joys!! Hope you are all enjoying your Friday and all babas are behaving!

 

[twinkletoe]

Oh Girly the peeing thing is SERIOUSLY annoying me!! I literally have to pee straight after I have peed but then there is barely a drop!! Agh!!!!! Really sympathise!!

 

[broodymrs]

Girly i'm exactly the same. Peeing constantly, often i feel desperate but then nothing comes out, loose bowels and feel really sick. Almost as sick as i felt at the start but luckily not been sick yet, urgh.

Sis rose, sounds like a scary time but at least you've had the steroids and are being monitored.

 

[Girly922]

My sickness has passed again at the moment. No doubt it'll come back in the next few weeks.

Isn't it the weirdest feeling though when you feel desperate for a pee and actually have an empty bladder. Infuriating isn't the word. Lol. But we haven't got long left so I'm not complaining.

I've got 2 weeks left at work and I cannot wait!! I'm really excited now but I'll probably be really bored by about day 3. My first 2 weeks off are annual leave and OH is working all through it so I'm hoping to spend that time catching up with old friends. I just don't want to be going too far from home once I reach 37 weeks.

 

[broodymrs]

I've only got 2 weeks left too thankfully. Constantly feel ill wiith one thing or another so will be much easier being at home.

 

[goddess25]

My last day at work is in 2 weeks too. Cant wait.

Am still way more constipated than the other way but the peeing thing is annoying now esp overnight.

 

[Girly922]

I totally sympathise with you ladies who have been feeling hiccups in your bum. Felt them last night, and boy is it a strange feeling?! Lol.

Wahoo for finishing work soon

 

[girlnboots]

Pregnancy insomnia, acid reflux, and nausea suck. Anyone else awake?

I still have at least 4 weeks of work left. I want to take off the first of October so I can relax the last two weeks and prepare a bit, but I don't know if my doctor will let me. Or my job, actually.

OMG, seriously!?!?! How did that even happen. Worst thread mom ever.... what is your info for the front?

EDIT: I have you with a blue bump on Oct 13th, did your due date change, or did I put you on the wrong date to start?

Ah OK I didn't see it! it's supposed to be the 12th but leave it as 1 day is big deal

Hope babies stay in a bit longer Maze and Twinkle!

Went for another growth scan on Wednesday, baby is still measuring below 10th centile so I was sent up to the ward for steroid injections for babies lungs just incase they decide to bring her early if she drops in size any more, had to stay in for 48 hour monitoring due to previous gestational diabetes, and the steroids did make my blood sugar shoot up so had to have insulin injections for the first 36 or so hours but hoping it'll calm down again now but I haven't had s straight answer about the diabetes...nobody knows whether I have it or not despite passing the test after having elevated readings every now and then over the last few weeks anyway
As far as I'm aware they've now put "IUGR" on my notes, so I don't know if they think it's that now instead of just SGA like they said on DD's notes, nobody seemed to be able to give me a straight answer about that either! Got to go for CTG monitoring twice weekly, as well as a scan weekly now so gonna be spending three days a week being checked at the maternity clinic as long as baby is okay though. Kinda hoping they will just induce me around 39 weeks like with DD to get things started and ease my mind, else it's going to be a long 8-10 weeks til term/past term.

Worst bit about staying in hospital was leaving DD, was so sad to be without her for so long!

Ohh hun sounds like your going through a bit of worry..but hopefully the steroids will give baba a extra push to develop. I don't really know anything about GD...however I take the diabetic drug metformin which help regulate blood sugars (and I was never given a glucose test during preg) Maybe bub is just a little smaller than most but all normal, everyone is different I guess! But good your being monitored just in case xxx

 

[lady1985]

Maze, Twinkle i hope those babies cook a while longer for you both, best of luck!

I had midwife yesterday, and baby is lying transverse, (i was convinced he was head down) and measuring perfectly.
Been suffering with bad heartburn over past few days. Anyone know anything to help with this. Gaviscon is awful and milk isn't working either.

My bub didn't go head down until my 30 week scan and at the time I asked the tech if he will turn again, she told me they can still move happily until about 34 weeks (I guess unless baby is bigger than most) so I wouldn't worry. My 33 week scan bub was still in the same position, however yesterday I think he went transverse, well it certainly felt it and I had baby lumps in places I never had before As for HB I have Rennie when I feel a bit yukky, I'm not suffering HB yet but I find them really effective. Also try proping up on pillows at night to help.

Yes I'm the same had it a few weeks back then constipated now loose..I asked my doc and he said it can be due to baby's head being on the bowel!
Lovely!!

Yes having the sick feeling too! Especially when drinking water of all things!! ....and peeing 2-3 times a night and insomnia! (where is the switch to turn off the thoughts please..anyone??! ) Oh the joys!

 

[tx614]

I am peeing way more too now!! It seems like when I finally get comfortable in bed and start actually sleeping I have to go so bad....then I get up to go and only a tiny bit comes out. So frustrating.

TMI Alert - This morning, I went #2 (finally) and there was blood in it. Not a huge amount, but seemed like a lot to me. It didn't hurt or anything, just felt like I had eaten something spicy. Anyone else had this? Should I tell my doctor?

 

[Maze]

If blood was IN your BM it would come out a dark black, if it was on the surface and red then you probably have a fissure or irritated hemorrhoid, which would not be surprising if you have been constipated. They are pretty common later on in pregnancy. You can mention it to the doctor for sure, but it really isn't anything to worry about. Unless like I said, it was actually worked into your stool making it a dark black.

 

[broodymrs]

I'd say it sounds like piles. Sorry hun they can be painful.

 

[tx614]

Thanks ladies! It wasn't dark at all and didn't really hurt. I will keep an eye on it but I am not too worried as I looked online too and it seems normal.

 

[PreggyEggy]

Holy moly, we're having babies next month!
