Just phone your MW Hun and tell her you are worried. She might not do anything but she might suggest you just go get monitored for a bit at the hospital. Don't worry about feeling silly coz it's not. You know his movements and if you think he's not moving as much it's best to get some advice and maybe get him monitored. Do you have the number for your local maternity unit? Best just to call them, even if its just to ease your mind.

I'm lying on my side and he's wriggling again now, so I might just monitor it over the day. I'm probably just being paranoid as I'm so close to the finish line now and I'm scared we won't make it!

Bailey I'm glad your back is a bit better today, haha you can tell the difference between bailey and emilias poo/fart

Aw cupcake I'm glad lbcc is wriggling away again but don't hesitate to call your mw if you are concerned xxx

 

[baileybubs]

I think it's normal to feel that way Hun, I know I did, and whenever I was worried I just did what you did and monitored her. Just keep an eye, maybe write down everytime she moves just so you can see it and it will make you feel better

 

[baileybubs]

Any sign of sickness this morning mrs d?

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah I guess I have to think that I do have the equivalent of a newborn baby in me now, and they will sleep and not move for fairly long stretches won't they. Ill keep an eye and if I'm still not happy later ill call her. Just slept so badly last night, wanting him to wriggle when I woke up, I was dopplering him at 5:30 this morning to try and wake him!

 

[baileybubs]

I did that too, I think when you get so used to their normal pattern that when they don't behave the same it throws you into panic. I'm still like that with her now, if she's off her normal routine whether that's her feeding, sleeping it even pooping lol, I start to worry.

 

[cupcake1981]

What are you doing today Hun? Are you holed up at home again with your back? x

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah, I'm a bit more mobile today but I don't wanna overdo it in case that makes it worse for tomorrow! But it's a glorious day here so I might end up sat in the garden lol.

What you up to?

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah take it easy, glad it's eased tho, keep icing it where you can.

I dunno Hun, think we're going food shopping and doing some sorting out here. I'm bored tbh, and feel a bit icky from Chinese food last night

 

[cupcake1981]

Think I might have just has a contraction? Was feeling a few odd tightenings at tesco, and had loads of back pain, then was putting the shopping away and has this really intense tightening all around my back that got really sore and then went as quickly as it started. No more, maybe just a little practise one! But my god if they hurt like that when they start I'm screwed!

 

[baileybubs]

Bnb would not load up!!

Ooooh exciting! I bet it was a contraction Hun! Getting the practice! And don't worry about the pain Hun, you will manage I'm sure

 

[cupcake1981]

I know it keeps crashing out on me today to!

I've not had any more, think that was a one off! But it really hurt!

I got some energy tablets, fruity nutty mix and granola bars for labour at tesco to. What snacks did you take?

 

[baileybubs]

I didn't take any actually. I was supposed to be buying some in the next couple of days lol. And then coz I was induced they wouldn't let me eat anyway in case I had to have surgery. I did take some isotopic energy drinks but I wasn't allowed them either lol

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh well at least I have them, hubby can eat them if I end up being induced which i hope I won't!

What did you do today?

 

[baileybubs]

Hopefully you won't need to be induced Hun.

We have done nothing lol, except watch films. We watched ace Ventura and now we are watching despicable me lol.

What else have you done besides food shopping

 

[cupcake1981]

Is df off today to? Not much tbh, just cleared some space in the bedroom for the moses/crib, think we are going to have cooked breakfast for tea in a bit! Yum!

 

[baileybubs]

Ooh yum! I was so bad and had pie and chips for tea! I'm not doing so well on the diet at the mo but yesterday was more due to opportunity! All I ate was some ryvita with cheese, several Special K bars and some pasta n sauce! I couldn't make something proper lol.
Today I'm just being bad coz I want to. I've been "dieting" for 5 weeks now and although I have lost about 5-7lb it just seems like all I do is fluctuate around 11 stone. I have a theory that coz my body has been that weight for so long it doesn't like being any lower/higher lol. And it's gonna take me sticking to the diet properly for at least a couple of weeks to break that lol! Just need to get more motivated I think. It's so easy to be blasé when it's only a stone I want to lose, plus I know df doesn't care, I was the weight when he met me. It's just now it's all round my tummy, whereas before it was arms legs and face lol!

Yeah df is home, I got my lie in this morning and he's putting her to bed now yay!

Have you bought a crib yet did you say? Or will you buy one based on whether you think you'll need it? Coz you could always put him in his own room earlier couldn't you?
I've decided not to move Emilia yet. She didn't sleep any better with just me in the room, it seems like it's her natural biorythm to wake at 3am so we are just gonna live with it for another 5-6 weeks and hope she learns to roll on her own by then coz then I'll feel more comfortable.

 

[cupcake1981]

Dieting is soooo hard, in dreading trying to get back into shape after lbcc is here. I know BFing will help so all the more reason to hope and pray that happens, amongst other reasons of course! Was it chippy pie and chips?

We just have a moses for now, but I know he'll grow out of it very quickly, but kind of want to use it at first so I can move it about. Then well buy a crib and sell the moses. I know I won't be ready to move him to his own room too early, especially if im BFing.

Glad df is home and helping out!! Hope you've had a chance to rest your back!

 

[baileybubs]

No it was frozen pie and chips so not even that nice lol!!

Yeah I think bfing will deffo help with baby weight loss. Even if its just that there are still certain things you can't have, like alcohol! Always ruins a diet alcohol, just one glass of wine is 8 syns on slimming world (which is half your daily allowance!).

Yeah having him in the Moses basket will be much easier for you, like you said for moving about. I think it wasn't til about 10-12 weeks that I started putting her upstairs to sleep, until then she went to sleep in the Moses basket downstairs with me then I took her up when I went to bed.
