Mangoes to melons week 26 last week of 2nd tri <<insert emotions here>>

[TigerGalLE]

Aww I’m sorry you girls are sick!! I’m finally starting to get over my bronchitis. I still have a lingering cough but I feel better. Being sick is the worst because we are already exhausted!!! I hope everyone feels better soon!!!!

Hard to believe 2nd tri is almost over for me. 2nd trimester FLEW by for me. I want to meet little Hank so bad but I’m not ready!!! So hopefully I can get everything ready in the next 13 weeks!!! EEK

Oh here is a bump picture from yesterday.

 

[taperjeangirl]

Tmr, rest up! I had a niggling pain on the left side of my bump yesterday too, strange I still don't know what it was, prob just growing pains!

Lovely bump there tiger!!

I am starting to suffer really bad with SPD I don't usually get it until the last few weeks of pregnancy so this is REALLy early for it to show up, went to ASDA there and now I feel like my pelvis is about to shatter into pieces !!

I have been resting all day dh wouldn't let me do any thing so had a nice lazy day my bump still feels a bit sore now think it may of been bad BH.

Here is my 26 week bump pic i feel v v BIG

 

[tmr1234]

How is every 1 doing now where all in 3rd tri?

 

[kmbabycrazy]

ACHEY!!!!! Oh my gosh I don't ever remember aching this much with DS. All I want to do is sleep I'm exhausted!!! I definitely think she's coming early because if she doesn't on her own and if I keep aching like this I'll reach in there and pull her out before 40 weeks haha x

 

[taperjeangirl]

good! I am very glad to be on the final stretch! We've just about finished painting the nursery..... it's really sad how excited I get about it!

Just waiting on the cot getting delivered then will post some pics

 

[tmr1234]

I am so achey my ribs are killing to day as he has tok up to having his foot stuck up there. Went to the mw and when she put the tape to me i was 29cm then Jaden jumped and she said he had his foot stuck up so was making me seem bigger i was 28 cm so on the right track.

We finshed Jadens room will attch some pic of it i love it in there we have also got every thing for him now so it is just a waiting game.

Fab photos TMR!!

Does anybody else feel like they've been an aubergine (or eggplant!) for MONTHS??? When does it change again?

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I think it changes at 30 weeks next xx

 

[taperjeangirl]

Just checked! I'm 29 weeks on the other forum and baby is now a squash

 

[claireybell]

Oooh ladies we're Butternut Squashes now.. 10 wks left omg!!! Havent even started doing babies room yet but i finish work in less than 3 weeks woop! Starting to get fairly uncomfy now & hips ache a bit when walking about for more than half hour.. Joy

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Yeah my hips and back start to hurt when I walk for more than 10 minutes. My headaches are getting worse. She's moving a little less over the past couple of days which is worrying me. But not by loads so I'm going to speak to the midwife about it tomorrow morning at my appointment.

I started sorting her room out last night and will post pics when I'm finished. And we finally moved over the weekend and I'm loving our new place. There were a few hiccups but both got sorted yesterday within hours of telling the letting agents. So that's a good sign I think that they'll be helpful if we have problems.

4 weeks today until I finish work. 6 weeks on Thursday until my birthday. 7 weeks on Sunday until my baby shower. Something nice to split the time left up so by the time i've passed the last thing to look forward to it'll be less than a week until I'm full term and less than 4 until her due date.

 

[Conina]

Yay I'm a squash today!! I've been an aubergine for MONTHS!!!

 

[taperjeangirl]

Hiya girls! Hope you are all good!

I'm achy all over too, attempted a baby show on Saturday and a day out on Sunday just past and it's had me laid up for 2 days suffering!

Had a 4D scan at the baby show and it was awful

He wasn't in a good position so the guy just kept pushing and pushing and in the end really hurt me, I hd 3 scans in total that day and got 2 crap pics and an unrecognisable dvd all for £159 :'(

Emailed them and I'm waiting for a response but they have had really bad reviews before so it's unlikely I'll get anything back
we live and learn though eh!!

Anyhoo, is better news!!!!

OUr nursery is just about complete!! Still need cot bedding but can't find any, I'll post pics so keep an eye out if you see anything about that will match LOL!!

Warning Pic heavy!!!!


Before.......

After!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

The nursery is fantastic taperjeangirl. LOVE IT!!! I love Dr Suess and so does DS. Brilliant x

 

[tmr1234]

The babies room looks so fab very diff to any i have seen.

I am being to slow right down now i was very worried this am as i couldn't breath and felt really weak. Had a sleep and not feeling to bad now just not 100%.

I can't belive some of us could have are babies next month!

We have every thing for Jaden now ordered some swaddle blankets i have never swaddled my babies so it is a 1st for me and will see how it gose.

I am waking up at 3am every day now being wade awake and can not get back to sleep. I think jaden is very low down as well as my pelvis is killing and it feels like he is trying to engage I am also on the iron tables as had 28 week bloods and my iron is low again.

I was feeling really tired and short of breath last week and i noticed that if i stood up or moved around my heart started beating very fast. After a couple of days i went to see my gp who told me to go straight to a+e and it turns out they think i have a blood clot on the lung! I was expecting them to say its normal pregnancy fatigue etc or a chest infection but now i have to inject myself with blood thinners twice a day! Scary stuff but i'm glad i'm on the mend now.

Get yourself checked out if you are feeling poorly ladies!

Oh my goodness how scary!!! Glad you are on the mend. Sorry about the shots twice a day.


It is good to hear from everyone! We need to be better about updating more often. So glad to finally be a squash. I was sick of that stupid eggplant.

After a week long battle with contractions and threatened preterm labor I am finally relieved from bed rest and doing better! yay!!! I’m looking forward to being 30 weeks. That is my next big milestone. I think I will feel more accomplished then! I can’t wait to see what all of our little babies are going to look like!!!

Oh and I love the Dr. Seuss nursery!! Very cute!!

Have a good day everyone. Hope we can all get through the aches, pains, and insomnia. I bought a maternity belt yesterday in hopes that it will help some when I am working. We will see

 

[Jodiebump2012]

I'm starting to ache as well girls! Even though everyone keeps telling me I still have ages yet and worse is to come, (Thanks for stating the obvious lol!)

I'm finding it really hard to get around now especially when at college, my back seems to go numb all the time and I just feel generally achey. It doesn't help that I get a bus as well, you would think people would have more courtesy especially around pregnant women- but nope! They still seem to think it's perfectly fine to barge into me!

I'm so excited to finally get to 30 weeks! 2 more days!!! xx

omg this is scary, glad you are ok-ish now!

Freaks me out a bit though because I told my MW last week I was tired, stressed and breathless and she wrote on my notes "feeling well"
