I've felt done for awhile, just being exhausted between work and being pregnant. I feel like this pregnancy is going by really slow. With all the complications I've had I'm ready for baby to be here and know he's OK.

I have a horrible time with constipation. Normally high fiber cereal for a few days and some coffee will help.

 

[charlotteb24]

Wish i had my constipation back! the past few days i dunno if i've caught the tail end of a bug or whether something i am eating just isnt agreeing with baby or what but i am having the total opposite problem! Going like 3 times a day and they aren't really upset tummy type movements but aren't far from it and when i need to go i need to go NOW! its horrible i'm hoping whatever it is calms down again soon as i have no other symptoms! literally none!

I'm putting it down to over tiredness, had 10 days off work but had a house full of kids and the 1st 2 shifts back were so busy i thought my pelvis was gonna shatter in 2 by the end of the shift yesterday. Feeling very run down! time to slow down i think!

Nice bump pics ladies, i havent taken one since 24 weeks so will have to take another one after my soak in the bath later on this evening! xx

I am occasionally - especially now I'm on iron tablets, I get hideous wind and nothing else. I'm not majorly big either, I just think baby's found a nice comfy spot that happens to be resting on my bowels... It's fast becoming very good at anatomy - it's found my bowels, bladder and sciatic nerve and is fast aiming for my ribs!

Haha this made me laugh, I know how you feel, it seems like bubs is having a good old rummage around in there!! I think mine likes to press on my bladder and sciatic nerve simultaneously just to see my reaction!!

 

[helen581]

I'm not suffering with constipation but this heart burn is s killer!!!! Plus my back and right hip are really hurting now so yeah, I've had enough lol. I've got a huge bottle of gavisgon that I carry in my hand bag and swig on like a drunk! Lol

 

[Gemma Lou]

we're getting closer ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEY!

 

[luckyme225]

I'm just glad it's finally March, one month closer.

 

[Linda3618]

I am due May 22nd with our 5th BOY!

 

[Ember]

WHOA! I didn't realize so many were due on the 28th! And man I really need to check back here more often. Last time I was in this thread there were only a few pages...

 

[helen581]

Midwife appointment tomorrow, hope bubs is measuring on target, I feel like her growing has slowed down??? Dont know why I think that, maybe I'm just being silly. Also she is not moving anywhere near as much which scares the hell out of me, but I know that's probably due to lack of space. I panic and worry too much I think!! Lol x

[Helly]

Thanks girls. Sorry to hear we are all having so much discomfort. Elaine - get to a dentist cos if the toothache becomes an bases my god that's painful!

Ive stayed off work today to see if I can calm it down but don't want to be off for much longer cos I've only got 4 weeks left and loads to do!

 

[lisalisalisa]

I never moan but the heartburn I had last night was terrible. It kept me awake between 11pm and 3am. I tried everything but nothing would clear it. I think I am going to eat my main meal at lunch time and have a light snack early evening to see if that helps.

I have a growth scan and consultants appt tomorrow. Then off to buy everything for my hospital bag. I am having a c-section so I need to pack for a 3 day stay.

Ah it's horrible feeling like this!! Midwife appointments seems to be three wks apart now, so it's like a dreaded 3 week wait just for her to say yep, everything is fine!! Phew!! Then you wondered what you were worried about only for the next day to come and start worrying again!! Lol

 

[miss cakes]

it is horrible i wish we could have our own scan machine so we could look at the baby every day i get really stressed about it but feel like a pratt to say anything to anyone except on here lol x

Right, updated again. Please check if youve asked/posted in the last 15 pages that I've added you correctly.

Ladyredlainey, that's most definitely a good baby bump you have there! xx

I have my 31week check-up on Friday. The closer it gets to 36 weeks the more worried I'm getting. Remembering my horrible labour/section with ds because I wad induced early with Pre-eclampsia. I keep thinking i should just have a section to avoid what happened last time. i dont at any point want inducing so if I'm overdue will have a section. I was so ken for a vbac to begin with. Now i keep thinking "what if" and i don't want it to go wrong again. Ugh. baby is still breech i think aswell. Ohhhh I don't know what to do. A natural labour would be wonderful but i dont think i could handle it mentally if i ended up with another emergency section... what to do? xx

 

[miss cakes]

ok feeling a little less stressed the baby just kicked the hell out of me
i was the same when having my second one there was no firm decision on what i was gonna do vbac or c section again right up til my due date then i went overdue and i just had enough of freaking out about everything that opted for elective c section in the end and it was so much better second time round i have to say x

 

[0_o]

I keep thinking I want to labour naturally. But then I think it mentally screwed me up a little going through over a day of labouring with back-to-back baby, an epidural that worked on one side, not being able to eat at all for 2days! And it ended up in section. All I remember is shaking violently afterwards because I was in shock and exhausted, and I couldn't hold ds because I shook so much. The epidural didn't wear off until the following day (about 20hrs) as they had to pump so much in. It was just the worst experience. I'm leaning towards going for an elective as it'll be all nice and planned, calm, I will have more than 5mins warning!! Is it hard getting a midwife on your side for an elective? What's the process, do I have to see a consultant etc? XX

 

[helen581]

this is my first so i am not aware of the processes but im sure if you relayed all your concerns and fears to your midwife she would understand and try to help you.

Just looked at the first page, wow there are a lot of may mummies!! lol, Im now concerned that the hospital is going to be rammed when i have my little one!!!! Dont they say that may /june have the highest number of baby arrivals???

 

[0_o]

I dont know... I was on the ward with one other lady with ds, he was born May 23rd. I thought Sept was busy, wasn't there something about people wanting kids to be oldest in their school year groups? or did i just make that up? Lol xx
