Hey ladies!

Fingers crossed for you hippie! Did you manage to get dh?

Cheryl - yeah my tummy has deffo gone down since having her. I also lost a stone in weight after getting back from the hospital that was just due to water retention (lots of sweating during the night!!). I've only got a little "overhang" now so hopefully flat tum in no time!
I'm still on iron tablets too, amazes me how tired I still am! Are you taking Lactulose as well?

Cath - yeah they have to wean me off the tablets first so another couple of weeks of taking them.
I thought it was really sweet of your df to buy those flowers for you! My df never does that lol! Have you decided what you are doing about the shoe business?

Aw Cheryl cod you had forceps does that mean you are sore downstairs and where you had the section? What a nightmare. Is Leo being a good baby?

Cath they were lovely flowers.

Bailey good news on the BP!

AFM my back is absolute agony, it's definitely sciatica now as its all in my leg to. Went to the GP this am, and she was useless, so I've made an appointment with an oesteopath tomorrow am. Just hope he can help!!

 

[baileybubs]

Aw even sweeter that he bought them after listening to Bruno mars Cath! Bless him!

 

[baileybubs]

Hi cupcake sorry your back is so bad!! Did gp not give any suggestions at all?

 

[cupcake1981]

She me exercises, suggested paracetamol, and said physio/chiropractor won't Di anything cos your pregnant, go away and keep active, oh, and its probably gonna get worse as you get bigger! Actually cried when I came out of the surgery

 

[baileybubs]

Urgh that's crap cupcake! Does heat make it any better, the hot water bottle or anything?

 

[cupcake1981]

No apparently heat is bad for pain, ice is better?!? I'm leaving work in a minute, the chair is making it worse!!

 

[baileybubs]

Really? I've always found heat makes it feel better, maybe it's only temporarily helpful.
Aw make sure you go home and rest Hun.

I was just looking online cupcake and apparently in pregnancy pelvic girdle pain is often mistaken for sciatica. Not that it makes much difference on how it's treated but most websites seem to say that gentle exercise, hot or cold compresses and painkillers are the best treatment. Or a pelivic belt.....I tried to get hold of one of them but couldn't without spending too much money.

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh really bailey? I just assumed it was sciatica cos of the pain in my legs. Hopefully the oesteo will have a more clear idea of what's going on tomo! The session is £50 on its own so I'm really hoping I don't need too many!!!

 

[baileybubs]

£50!!! I hope it works hun!! Yeah I found this link

Says something about pelvic girdle pain. Hopefully tomorrow will help you though hun, cant be pleasant for you.

Cupcake, there are lots of acupuncturists and chiropracters who are specially trained in dealing with pregnant women. I looked it up when I was considering going to help baby girl turn the right way round. Maybe start googling them in your area?

Bailey, congrats on your Bp going down!

Cheryl, I'm still looking forward to your full birth story hun! Glad you and Leo are settling in!

Hippie, good luck this cycle! Can't wait for the 5th for you to test!

Mrsd, you've been quiet lately! You doing ok hun?

Amy, I hope Emily feels better soon!

Cath, how are your symptoms hun?!?!?!? Are you gonna test early at all or just wait and see?

 

[cupcake1981]

Acu will be next thing Tawn if the oesteo doesn't help! I will literally try anything?

Thanks for the link bailey xx

 

[cupcake1981]

To be honest it sounds as much like pgp as sciatica!

Next Wednesday Cheryl!

Mrs d I said the same to hubs the other day the gods of pregnancy/birth need to star throwing me some good stuff soon!

 

[Tawn]

Nope. Not a twinge, not a cramp, not a whisper of a sign! I ate an entire pineapple today pretty much, too and still nada I'm predicting to go at 41+1, but I have a sweep (if they can even reach with her being posterior) on Thursday so we will see!

Aww Cheryl, thanks for that consideration hun! I have been preparing myself for things to go seriously south because of her position, I am trying to resign myself to it so that if things go well and she turns it is a bonus but I am not surprised if they don't iykwim? PS: SO MANY TABLETS!! Jeeze!
