I'm making the same decision, I've had 2 sections (one emergency, one elective that went badly wrong) and I've been told this time I can try for a natural delivery. I think I'm going to go for it too Hopefully both our bubs cooperate

Hi all.

I loved reading the description of certain sleeping positions. I have always slept in a type of flamingo position or the 'climbing onto a horse position' as I'm now going to call it!

I've found in the last few weeks I need to shift my bent leg a bit to give me more room (if I've given up fighting with my long pillow).

I think when I post this I'll see double figures on my ticker!

My husband painted the one wall last week in our nursery. Please excuse the stuff on the bed! It is our spare room (actually it has all my clothes in it and husband uses our room as we don't have loads of storage space). I'm slowly getting there with tidying it. Anyway, our nursery with the border and one yellow wall:

My last delivery was a complete nightmare, my waters went at 35 weeks which ended up as a prolapsed cord which meant an EMCS. i recovered really well from that and wasnt in to much pain but i was so disappointed i didnt see my daughter be born (had to be put to sleep to get her out as quick as poss).
So this time im hoping to do it all the natural way and see my daughter be born. just hoping he stays head down and all goes to plan this time.
Good luck hun x

Andys bought me a gym ball, to help ease my SPD and encourage bubs down, looks a bit dodgy bouncing up and down on it from the street haha! xx

rose - the stronger, feel from the outside kicks, are still pretty rare for me…I get one or two a day. But I do feel her move around much more these days…just rolling over and shifting and stuff.


Has anyone felt hiccups? I read about them but haven't felt anything like what they describe in the books at all


skeet - I ate half a banana and drank a glass of milk before getting ready for bed last night. Thanks for the tip! I've already been stretching every night before bed. So hopefully they won't come back now - FX!!!
And big yippee on the small kick!!! I loved it when I first started to feel bean…felt so weird yet SO COOL!

hi sethsmummy! Welcome to our group.

lou - love that yellow! It's so warm and pretty


We took our xmas card photos today. It was hard trying to get the belly to look like a cute preggo belly with my coat on rather than like I just gained 10 lbs, but we got a couple nice shots I have to upload and edit them so we can get the cards ordered asap. I love this time of year! I think I'm going to make another pumpkin pie before we're into December…perhaps on Wednesday as it might snow then too

 

[anna1986]

Yay im finally in double digits

Mrschezek - if i remember correctly were still a bit early for hiccups ( someone may disagree) i think its more lie 30 weeks they become noticable xx

 

[skeet9924]

Chez- I feel him all the time but poor oh never did until now. I love feeling him move I hope those techniques help with the leg cramps.. I used to suffer them all the time growing up... Or after a night partying in heels !! They are dreadful!!!

 

[MrsChezek]

Darn books! Always putting ideas into my head - glad to have you all to ground me!!!

Bean was crazy active yesterday...what a cool day! Though after a while I felt like a trampoline and nausea started to creep in I still haven't heard from the clinic about the gender confirmation scan appointment...I do hope they're still in business!!! I want to know for sure it's a girl before we start narrowing down names

*EDIT: yay - 100 days to go!!!!!

 

[rose.]

I started making my little mans patchwork blanket yesterday love making it already I can't wait to see what it's like when it's finished!

I've been suffering with quite bad heartburn and pelvic

 

[rose.]

Oops... Pelvic pain. I'm just waiting at my surgery for my appointment so hoping the midwife will be able to suggest something to help!

 

[MrsChezek]

Yeah my hips and lower back aren't happy either Let me know if you learn anything helpful from the midwife rose! In addition, my left calf has been bothering me all evening...I hope it's not a blood clot forming! It's this pain in one part of it and it feels a bit like it's pulsating. FX it's just a cramp of some sort...

Anyone else experiencing numbness in lower abdomen? I was standing over the bathroom sink, flossing for about 20 minutes and noticed my lower tummy was numb. Had to lay down for 5 minutes to ease away

 

[paula181]

Whoop whoop I've just realised I'm in double digits

Xx

My bump gets numb in various places, depends on how baby is laid apparently, just like getting pins and needles. I just rub my bump and it gradually goes off. Very strange sensation!

 

[baby_maybe]

I asked the midwife about pelvic pain this morning and she didn't offer any advice, just that it is more common the more pregnancies you've had and there's nothing you can really do about it!
