Yazzy - im not sure if it has to be a Dr or if the midwife can do it? I felt a bit better today and decided to do some cleaning up. Oh how i regretted it afterwards i was in agony. They gave me stronger pain killers but they made me feel so sick im just going to take paracetamol.

Anti - Im so gald ur have left that job as I know how much you hated it

Oh has started on the Nursey and its hard to sit back and watch him do it all. Im going to struggle with not being able to do much cos i hate sitting watching day time tv for more then 2 days! I have my sister who is home much of the time with my baby nephew so can visit her. She having her coil our Friday to try for her last baby, if she falls quick there wont be much of a age different between the cusions .

My youngest nephew has been through a lot since he has been born, the BBC have been filming it all and it will be on telly sometime this year!

 

[yazzy]

RBurnett - I think your midwife should be able to sign you off. I know my friends midwife signed her off because of her blood pressure. It could be worth asking, there is no point suffering.

 

[RBurnett]

I will see how i go, im seeing midwife on Thursday and I have Physio on Friday as they just called me.

Eeeeeek! We just had my leaving lunch and I have 1 more hour left here. yay yay yay!!! So excited! Baby moving loads today as well. Definately getting stronger everyday! I don't think my one ever sleeps. It's always kicking! Even at midnight its kicking... just doesnt stop!! Hope its not gonna be like that when its born!

 

[wavescrash]

Congrats anti. I'm very jealous! However, there's a chance I won't be too far behind as this pelvic pain is getting worse and I'm thinking about not going into work tomorrow. I have to get ready for the baby shower on Sunday anyway and don't want to wake up in pain, go to work and be on my feet for it to get worse and then come home and not be able to do anything.


We're going to look at a couple of apartments today and see what is more affordable for us. My Grandma is on her way over shortly to give me her shower gifts as she won't be able to attend on Sunday so I'm pretty excited about that. Hope the rest of you are doing well.

I was doing a countdown today and only 12 weeks left until I leave work on Mat leave (although gonna take the first 2 weeks of that as Annual leave so my money doesn't seem to drop as quickly). Not sure if I am going to cope working up until 36 weeks on my feet all day for 8 hours ( I am a physio on a busy ward, getting people up and moving etc) but I will just have to see. May end up using a bit more annual leave and work 4 day weeks instead of 5 from the beginning of April if I can't cope.

Even more exciting (and scarey) is that I should have my Masters degree work handed in in just over 6 weeks which will then make me a free woman for the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy. I think I am more excited about that than actually giving birth!

Off to Mothercare tonight to have a look at cotbeds which my lovely Nan is going to buy us.

Getting really strong thumps in the bladder from baby now which is really nice and I will be 24 weeks on Sunday. Yay!

Antenatal classes (NCT ones) start in a months time aswell.

Getting really excited now.

Yay glad to hear everyone is doing well except for that pelvic pain of course that's awful! I hope it fixes itself soon. I had a whole heap of it also but I found it was when one of the babies changed their position and it righted itself when they moved back.

I picked up a box of real nappies for newborns (usually $90) for $10 and they were new never even been opened!! I am so happy about this but omg I really can't believe the third tri is creeping up so fast.
My bump feels so weird, I have this shelf thing going on now. and they are most definitely pressing up against my ribs. Its hard to even feel the bottom of my ribs cos my bump is wedged so far up against it. I feel bruised everywhere my stomach, my ribs and my pubic bone all feel so bruised.
Also I think one of the babies flipped cos I was getting some heavy kicks in my bum last night LOL it was really strange.

Speaking of flipping managed to speak to my friend yesterday who was in hospital and her baby was stuck in a an awkward tranverse position (I thought she meant breech but no it was actually transverse) but then went head down and engaged yesterday so she was able to go home!! AND her flight is today so the baby flipped right on time and she is allowed to still fly up. I am so happy

 

[bumpin2012]

Hi ladies!
Hope everyone is doing well. I'm having a miserable day. Been feeling really nauseated today and really cramping... Like period cramps. Haven't felt cramps like this for a long time. I think baby is just gearing up for a major growth spurt. I femember feeling crappy before the last one, I just don't remember the crampy feeling.

Anyways that's my whine for the day. On a nice note. Baby is super active today, constantly moving and flipping. Its so funny to see my whole abdomen shift with each move. Oh was able to see it clearly from accross the room!

 

[frangi33]

Sorry to hear that bumpin I hope u feel better tomorow.

We seriously have nothing for this baby yet

 

[YoungNImum]

Yay for active babies the past 2 days iv been feeling BIG finding it hard to pic LO's toys up etc and the skin outside me ribs feels stretched like it's baring the weight of baby, I do have a bump pic to share but can't manage to upload it usin my iPhone x

 

[YoungNImum]

Frangi have you made a list of what use need to get? X

 

[zephyr]

Finally got round to uploading my pics cos I missed last week too!

Week 24 and 25 and I look bigger this week. The top I have been trying to wear each photo is just getting tighter and tighter round my stomach but its baggy everywhere else

 

[future_numan]

I have a question for you ladies who are having a baby shower..
I noticed some have said they have to " get ready".. did you plan the party yourselves ?
I had a baby shower with Emily but my mom planned it ( I wasn't suppose to know about it)

 

[Ems77]

Future_numan- my MIL is planning and putting mine together.
Zephyr- never noticed how baggy the shirt was every where else until you pointed it out, too funny. Belly def growing, but obviously nothing else lol
Anti- I totally feel ya with the constant movement, I don't think mine ever sleeps either and I really really hope that changes, I'm old and NEED my sleep! Lol

Also this time around, not sure if it's age or baby position and or activity, but she hurts me quite a bit of the times that she kicks. I don't remember it like this with the other two... Just feels like she hauls off and gives it all she has and it physically hurts... :-/

Glad she moves, so I know she's healthy and getting along, but damn! Lol

My sister is throwing mine with help from a co-worker of ours but I've been involved in a lot of the planning simply because my sister is working an in school both full time. She footed the bill but I wrote up invites, went shopping with her, made up the favors she picked out and will be baking some cookies.


Woke up at 2am to use the bathroom and it's now almost 5am and I'm still awake. This spd/pelvic girdle pain is getting worse each day. I've read some women got to the point of needing crutches and I honestly feel like I'm at that point. I just need my doctor to acknowledge it as more than normal pregnancy aches. I'm calling out of work today because there's no way I can be on my feet for 5 hrs. I can hardly get out of bed as it is and I need to figure out how to handle my baby shower on Sunday if I can't comfortably walk around. If feel bad making all my guests come to me to visit but oh well... I hurt haha.

 

[Ems77]

Yowch, I'd call out too. I can't imagine now being on my feet for an hour let alone 5!!! For me this pregnancy has been exponentially harder on me than the other two. The fact that I am 10 and 14 years older (10 from 2nd 14 from 1st) plays a roll I'm sure. Lol

Yeah this pregnancy has been so much more achy and painful than my first. I would have thought second pregnancies are easier because you've done it before but most second and third-timers I've talked to said it hurt so much more. I think I'll give the office a call Monday morning because it shouldn't hurt this much. Especially for how NOT far along I am, you know? In the last several weeks I'd expect it but not now.
