March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[Lou1234]

My emotions have ramped up again Rose so you aren't the only one!

I don't normally cry at things on the tv (well I didn't before I got pregnant! ). I was emotional during 1st tri with things on tv then it calmed down.

I watched One Born Every Minute at the weekend (the one from Wednesday) and cried when both women had their babies. I guess I'm thinking that in a few weeks I'll be holding mine.

I'm feeling rough today anyway (got to sleep at 3am and then woke with a bit of a cold). I'm now sitting at work really hot and want the window wide open. I'm not sure my colleagues will be happy with me if I open it! I think I might head home at lunchtime as I do feel that if someone says anything negative to me today I might just cry!

Wow, congrats AMY!!! She is sooo beautiful!! What a little fighter-there is a page on fb called Pop 'n Grow and they do clothes for premies that can fit the tubes etc-all free.

Hope everyone else is ok and sorry to those who have had movement scares.

My cholestasis is driving me nuts. I feel so sick all the time, can't stop scratching and just have a crap feeling I can't quite put my finger on

Got liver scan tomorrow so I guess will have a better idea on induction etc but from what I see, most ladies are induced at 37 weeks. That's just over 2 weeks away and considering I was induced due to going 2 weeks over with my boys I am freaking out a bit as that was painful enough. Never mind an early baby!

ANyway, enough whinging from me. Hope you all have a beautiful week x

Hi all how are you doing?

I have just had my midwife appointment and it seems like little man has had a growth spurt and is measuring 36cm I guess I'm not having a 6lb'er then
She wants me to keep an eye out for any uti's as I had some traces of it in my urine! But I'm hoping it was just that it was my 1st pee of the day and I was up a few times in the night and I'm a little dehydrated

Xx

I'm not so much weepy emotional (although OBEM always sets me off ), but I'm so very grumpy at the moment. My poor girls are tiptoeing around me most days and I do apologise to them for being a bit short tempered, but have also explained that mummy will probably be grumpy until the baby is born because I'm not sleeping very well and in so much pain all the time with my hips. It doesn't take much to set me off!

 

[rose.]

I cried during one born last week too, it was very emotional! Thankfully I'm feeling a bit happier today but still not quite my normal happy self.

 

[sportysgirl]

I agree, I have been emotional too sometimes for no reason!

When is everyone finishing work? I am finding it increasingly difficult and tiring now.

Had the health visitor come today with lots of questions and information, things are really going fast now!

 

[AthenaPlusOne]

I cried the other day because there was a sick dog that looked like my dog on tv. And then because I couldn't find pants that fit me when I was trying to get ready for work. I am NOT a crier. Oh the hormones.!

Congrats Amy!!

I'm working until D Day! Or my due date-whichever comes first.

 

[rose.]

I've got 5 weeks left - last day is 1st march. Can't wait to finish!!

 

[skeet9924]

I'm not finding myself emotional but I find I'm lacking all energy and any ambition to do anything!! I decided that I was going to attempt to put stuff away in the nursery and it lasted a whole 10 mins now I'm back sitting on the couch

 

[baby_maybe]

I feel like that most days too skeet, I have to rely on DH motivating me at weekends to get anything done in the nursery. I'm hoping nesting sets in soon

Edited - I only did my hospital bag because DH threatened to refuse to take me to hospital if it wasn't ready when I go into labour! Needless to say I did it after that, don't want to be packing it in between contractions!

 

[skeet9924]

Lol baby maybe.. We are supposed to be going away the weekend of feb 15th to go see oh nana in the hospital .. So I will need my overnight bag for then.. But when I return I'm going to pack it

 

[MrsChezek]

Kte - I just say bean when I talk to people or the baby or little one. It's gender neutral and much nicer than IT! We have a nickname but we only use it among ourselves really…it's Bobo

iPretti - I feel like my LO is starting to drop too and at times she is down low and pinching nerves…not enjoying the sharp shooting pains or legs going numb thing! But we're almost there!!!! 5 more weeks to go

anna - quite the monkey indeed! I'm glad all is well and good luck at your scan on Thursday! It's always so nice to see them…tho I was a bit bummed as my last two scans (one week ago and 2 weeks ago) for AFI and growth checks were so quick and medical that I didn't get to see ANYTHING! She had me lying in a weird angle behind the monitor…DH said he didn't see anything anyway and he was in front of the monitor with her. A bit sad but I guess it accomplished what we went in for and that's what counts!

My LO won't stop moving…and hiccuping…and pushing my organs around while trying to stretch my uterus beyond it's walls! She's already a handful…can't wait to meet her!

rose - I've been emotional too! The other day I kept tearing up at the thought of anything…the smallest issue and I had tears in my eyes. My DH was feeling so helpless!! And these were a couple of very happy days too - we signed all the paperwork on our new house and everything. But I was just all sappy! I guess it's par for the course…

Kelly - I am sorry you're so uncomfortable!! 2 weeks seems long but it will fly by…good luck to you with everything


AFM, I'm alright. I get weird sensations that I haven't had so I guess she is starting to drop. I feel heavy down below at times and I get a lot of nerve pain or numbness from sitting. Definitely cannot cross my legs anymore as that about guarantees I'll get some weird pain! Then, there's this weird thing that feels like someone kicking my sacrum or tailbone - but it's very rhythmic so I think she's having hiccups and her head must be hitting my bones down there. It doesn't hurt but it's almost like a tickle and just feels weird. I don't like it! I don't think she dos either cause she tends to give big kicks while this goes on...does anyone else experience this?

Otherwise, LO is still moving tons and I'm just trying to get everything done before she arrives. I'm currently trying to get prepped for breastfeeding so reading up on it and buying some nursing stuff…exciting, exciting!!!

Big to all of you!!! We're so near the start of March now!!!! I cannot believe I'll be 35 weeks on Thursday….

Hi Ladies, Ive been away all weekend so no access to the internet and work so busy I can't even catch up at coffee time!

Paula: Nice 34+2 Bump pic

Amy: Congratulations on the arrival of Emily Wishing you a speedy recovery and I hope you are able to talk out some of your worries and feelings so you can all settle and enjoy your new family.

Anna: sorry your little man is being a monkey again and putting you through more stress!

Rose: Sorry to hear you were feeling all emotional. In a word, yes, if I get tired I can't control myself, if I know I am being irrational! I got a bit stressed and grumpy at the weekend at my nephews party, so OH made the kids entertainer make me a balloon flower!

Lou1234: I was never that emotional watching TV before, some silly things still get me know, i'm not as bad as I was when I first had Chloe but honestly, you end up crying at the silliest things sometimes! I don't think it will ever go away either!!

Skeet: Hope you get a burst of energy sometime I usually have 2 hours a day, after that i'm tired and done for the day!

MrsChezek: I thinks that's why I say 'they' rather than 'it' I don't like that. We called our daughter Baby Bean so it feels wrong using the same nickname, she was even given a teddy for her first Christmas and it was a baby in a pea pod teddy - which she called Bean! We looked for a nickname for a while but just nothing stuck. We sometimes mix the two names we chose together but no one knows the names so that's just for us

Chloe used to have hiccups all the time, little rhythmic taps. I used to like them, luckily as she had them pretty much every day!

AFM: Baby is anything but getting into position. I'm going to have to look for a different chair at work as by the end of the day they (see I can't help it!) are so high up into my ribs it's painful and uncomfy and I get so out of breath!

Right I had best go. Have the Midwife today at 10 but little miss has just asked to go to the park - it's normally dark out and she said "look, its light out now" - all smiles. So it's a quick whip around to get dressed as I know time will fly and it's straight to work / pre-school after

 

[baby_maybe]

Mrs C - my LO kicks hard and seems to get annoyed when he has hiccups

AFM - off to the consultant again tomorrow, I'm there every week now until baby decides to put in an appearance!

 

[rose.]

I had another midwife appointment today, booked in my next one - cant believe I will be 36 weeks when I'm there next!! It's coming round so quickly now I just can't wait to meet him

 

[baby_bray]

MrsChezek- Abby get hiccups at *least* once a day, I love 'em. Thankfully they don't bother me at all. But in the evening we hit something I've started calling the "witching hour" and it's like she's doing laps around my belly button or something!!!! She kicks/punches/rolls/ does all sorts of stuff and it doesn't "hurt" but it'll make me jump occasionally because it's like she rolls over a that sensitive ticklish spot between my pelvis and groin (you know, that one right in the "V" line on the inner side of the pelvic bone)!

 

[Lou1234]

I had my 36 week midwife appointment today.

Everything is ok with baby and my sugars are ok. The blood tests from last time show I have low iron levels so I have to pick up some iron tablets. Plus my blood pressure was low.

I also have high red platelet levels. Not over by much but had another tube of blood taken so they can monitor it so it doesn't suddenly leap up.

Midwife thinks me feeling ill is flu and not a cold (I keep going hot and cold and a really bad cough has appeared suddenly). I've had a day vegging in front of the tv and I'll stay off work tomorrow as well if I don't feel better.

 

[baby_maybe]

I'm on iron as well Lou, got the prescription a couple of weeks ago now. Its amazing how much better I feel with taking it. I don't have tons of energy, but it's nice not to be quite so breathless all the time, I even was out of breath sitting and talking before! My count was 99 before the iron did she tell you what yours was?

 

[Lou1234]

I didnt see what my count was but my iron count is very misleading as I'm a carrier of the thalassemia trait. It means at first glance my iron levels can look low but they aren't.

She looked carefully and as the count has dropped over the last few weeks she just wants to be careful. Said baby will start to really use my supplies now so one iron tablet a day should boost me up.

Hey ladies x

Midwife appoint yesterday and LO is head down again. Hope the little cheeky girl stays head down for the rest of the journey lol
