May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

[RBurnett]

Today while i was at work i had the most strangest feeling inside me. It felt like the baby was trying to dig him self out of my cervix, it was really uncomfy and made me go all queasy! After it happend i started to get pains low in my pelvic area and in my back.

The pains eased but im still getting some pain under my bump/pelvic area and back. I also feel a bit sore inside my minnie!

I feel sore now when i feel my stomach and pelvic area.

thanks ladies - the dizziness has better since lunchtime - have tried to drink a lot although i find that hard with the constant trips to the loo lol. seems worse when i'm inactive..

don't have any swelling & am wondering if it's low blood pressure as i had low readings the last 2 apmnts. could even have let myself get dehydrated last night - i've had a rubbish appetitie & just been picking at sandwiches and things & not drinking enough. i also am guilty of forgetting my vitamins so i bet i'm low on iron too - as i was last pg. gah - my own fault.

oh waves - the bh's sound a bit scary! i've been having them too but not as regular. hope you got your feet up too!

I have low iron and if I forget to take my supplement I definitely notice it. You'll notice the same with low BP as well. And I feel out of sorts if I'm too active so it's probably all easy fixes.

Thanks! I've been as lazy as they come lately hahaha. I really do need to drink more water. That's probably the reason for it. I just hate water so much haha.

I still can't get over how the anti d injection is just routine over there!? I have never had one during any of my pregnancies! They do a blood test at around 26 - 28 weeks to check for antibodies and then I think they give you one then if it comes back abnormal.

waves - I have been losing plug too! I figured the same that it regenerates. My midwife told me only to worry if its pink or streaked with blood.

RBurnett - Ow, that sounds unpleasant haha I hope its nothing!

Thanks everyone for the comments Its not my nana, its OH's Nana. Half the things she says is a one brow raiser. She is lovely, but her and the MIL together is too much
And I have no idea why they want it to happen so soon, its possible that they just want to hit two birds with one stone so they wont have to make a second trip, then there is also the fact his nana is in her 70's and has had cancer in a number of places, so maybe she just wants to know her grandson is happily married in case next time she isn't so lucky. So I can understand that, if that is the case. OH is closer to his nana than mother, he lived with his nana for his teen years.

My bump is so sore, it feels bruised and they have also dropped down to another position today cos my bump is down low instead of up near my boobies. I think maybe they are back to being transverse? I found when they were like that it was more comfortable on my ribs.

Oh well here it's standard for anyone with a negative blood type. I'm A- so I automatically get it. I had it at 6 weeks when I first saw my OB because I'd had 2 previous losses without receiving the shot so she wanted to be safe and then we get it standard at 28 weeks to last the rest of the pregnancy. If baby is born with a negative blood type, nothing happens but if she has a positive blood type, I get the shot again.

I think she's moved a bit as well. I thinks she's head down but she probably changes often. Lately I've felt most of the harder kicks around/above my belly button with the lighter tickles down by my pubic bone. For awhile the other day I felt strong movement down low but I think today she's head down haha. I can't wait to see if she'll stay in that position because she was breech at my 19 week scan.

Im going to pack my hospital bag tomorrow. Just have this feeling that I should, prob cos of all these things i have been feeling lately!

Hey, curiosity question for the UK ladies:

How many days a week is your mail delivered? As in regular post mail.

 

[rjsmam]

Hey Vaurissa - fairly sure it's the same UK wide - Mon-Saturday excluding bank holidays......

Hey cool, same as us! My company ships to the UK and my office mate and I were curious about that.

 

[anti]

I need to rant... Got a call from the 4d scan place to say their scanner thing is broken and they can't do my scan tomorrow. Booooo!! Gotta go on Tuesday evening. Here's hoping my OH can get home in time. So so so annoyed!!!!

 

[zephyr]

Waves, yeah I'm O- and get the shot after birth but I never had one any other time, there was one occasion 6 years ago where the ER was meant to have given me one but it got overlooked and my midwife went super crazy at them.
It sounds like having it routine during pregnancy, instead of waiting to see if any problems come up is the better idea. How bizarre!

Anti - wow that sucks I would be so pissed.

Oh, I'd be madder than crap. You should ask them about a partial refund for the inconvenience to you. Those appts aren't cheap!

Rjsmam - hope you are feeling better. Low blood pressure can make you feel really awful but no harm checking with the midwife if you are concerned.

Anti - great news about the pram, let me know if you get it. Annoying about your scan though, I really hope your OH can make it.

Zephyr - I guess with what you have said about your OH's nana it would make sense on her part to see her grandson get married as she must be quite close to him. I have to admit though unless it was a really small quiet thing with a new baby I wouldn't want to do it...let alone having 2 babies.

I'm sooo achey today, my coccyx and back/pelvis is really sore and i've only had a wander around town. Tried sitting in a cafe and its so uncomfortable, I just don't think i'm going to be back at work on Monday...never thought i'd suffer with my pelvis as i'm used to walking loads etc...its making me nervous now with my wedding day 12 days before baby is due.

 

[zephyr]

Yazzy - That's what I said, small or not at all! OH and I are still discussing it but we told them we would let them know closer to the time cos if the babies come earlier then it changes things a bit.
Sorry you are so sore I hope it passes as your belly moves forward, my pelvis area doesn't hurt as much anymore unless I'm getting up or down its my back that's killing me now.
Yay your wedding! How exciting I hope that by then you feel alright.

Yesterday I felt really out of sorts and I don't know why? I ended up having a bath to relax a bit and omg I was sore when I got out just the sheer weight of my belly dragged as soon as I was out of the water and I had to actually go to bed and lay down for the rest of the evening.
Midwife appointment on Tuesday, I dont even know whats happening with the specialist I have not got my appointment card yet and I should of been seeing them this week. I hope it comes soon. Can't wait to find out how big I am now though I feel ginourmous!

[RBurnett]

I'm eating as much as u can and I got till 10 tonight then i have to fast for the glucose test! God I'm going to be soo bored sitting around the hospital all morning. I then back up hospital Wednesday to see the consultant and then midwife Thursday....busy busy busy!!

 

[zephyr]

Ohhh wow thats stink RBurnett, that fasting sure isn't fun. Good luck and hope you dont get too bored.

Youngni - nice bump!

Time to post mine now too I suppose since I forgot last weeks again only I sort of have a problem. Yesterday my bump changed a whole heap and I know this sounds crazy but it even feels like its dropped. I don't know whats going on, I feel really weirded out by this and I guess a little worried but then it is possible they have flipped transverse again cos I am getting kicks out the sides. I dont know! but my bump had definitely change a whole bunch in the 2 days, it even seems smaller!

The first photo is 27 weeks, 2nd is 28

 

[RBurnett]
