hey everyone - great bump pics NI and Zephyr !

rburnett - good luck with the test hope the time passes quickly! let us know how it goes

anti - sorry about the scan - what a major bummer - not long til tues now!

waves - how are those braxton hicks doing? i've been having them too quite frequently - sometimes i'm not sure if it's junior actually pushing him/herself outwards & making me uncomfortable, makes my belly feel rock hard.....

yazzy - hope your back problems haven't been too awful this wk end & that' you're not going back to work unless you're ready. and how exciting about the wedding!!! such a special time

my dizziness has passed thank goodness - had 2 days off last wk & despite originally worrying about filling the days, now the wkend is over I don't want to go back to the stress filled place i call work.... boooooo

They've seemed to settle down. I've had a couple real uncomfortable ones today but nothing that has me concerned. I thought maybe it's just the way she's pushing out or something like you said but there's no way it makes my entire belly rock solid. When I asked my OB about it a few months back she said they were BH so who knows. As long as she's not in any harm by whatever it is, I'll deal


I think she's gone through a growth spurt because I feel a bit bigger than I did the other day, I think I look a bit bigger (but it could be the way she's laying?) and her movements feel like she's completely out of room. I posted a video of her moving/kicking on Facebook yesterday or the day before if we're friends on there.

Phew! I hope your baby stays put frangi and mine too, its such a weird feeling though I am okay trading peeing more with being able to breathe better and not having aching ribs
I took my measurement round my belly button with a tape measure 116cm!!! holy moly!!

So I FINALLY got my appointment from the hospital, they just rang me and they tried to book me in for the 10th of May and my mouth dropped and I kinda yelled the date back through the phone at her in a very shocked tone. Well cos, theres no use seeing someone then! my babies will be out.

So anyways she re read the paper and I dunno, must be messy handwriting or something cos she had to go through my dates and then re book for the closest appointment she could get me......the 6th of March!
Considering I was meant to be seeing them this week the 6th of March is two weeks away!! I'll be 30 weeks then.
Also its going to last about an hour and a half. What could they possibly do that takes that long?? Even my scans don't take that long!
I'mma have to have some serious talks with my midwife tomorrow and find out what they are going to do, I am kind of nervous now.

 

[sweetpeaxo]

I'm due in May too =) May 24th with a baby boy

 

[anti]

Welcome sweetpea. Front page updated.

4d scan tomorrow. So excited! I want to see my bubba!

So we bought our buggy. The silver cross linear freeway. Need to order the car seat now coz it's cheaper from another online store. our nursery is almost painted. Just last finishing and neatening bits to do then we can start setting it up. so excited!

I'm going to the baby show on Friday. Looking forward to that as well. Next weekend we're off to do a Costco shop before I get to big and uncomfy.

Hope you are all well. I'm starting to get very excited and scared now! In the home stretch now and I'm sure it's gonna go super quick.

For the first time yesterday I woke worrying about the day contraction start!! Iv been looking forward till labour till yesterday lol x

 

[yazzy]

Great bump pics everyone!

Thanks Rjsmam I am still home today and the doctor is doing a note this week. I feel a bit like a fraud because I am getting better but I know I just can't bare to sit on a hard chair all day...I actually don't think i'd manage it as I keep trying out the computer chair at home but one wrong move and it is sooo sore!

Yep very exciting about the wedding...some days I think I am mad getting married 11/12 days before baby is due but I have great family and friends so I know i'll be well looked after and it will be pretty special to be married just before bubs arrives.

I was given a bottle steriliser from my brother and his OH yesterday and they have sooo many clothes to give me I really don't need to buy anything! I ordered the mattress for the cot bed at the weekend and ended up going with the most expensive one as I just thought it was easier that way then I know I have got the best one for baby.

Anti - yay for buying the pram...we have the same one and it is very nice, what colour is yours? Doesn't it feel more real now?!

I'm noticing I can't walk as fast anymore, not sure if it is just because of my pelvis or just because I weigh more but it is kind of weird!

Anyway hope you are all well

 

[anti]

Yazzy it's just the black one. That's all they had in stock but I'm happy with it. Still need to set it up and make sure it's all there!

I've been walking slower as well. Think it's the extra weight and all that.

 

[sharon0302]

Had 4D scan on Saturday and I am having another boy! As of Saturday his weight was 2lbs 5 and he was measuring 27 weeks 4 rather than 26 weeks 4.

My son loved it and it has made him very excited as things seem very real to him now!

Hello!!

Today I had the glucose test...Blood test, then drink organge disgusting stuff then more bloods. I get the results at the end of the week.

I not felt baby move since 11.30 and its not 1.15..how much longer would you wait?

 

[anti]

Rburnett I'd wait till two. Maybe poke your belly a bit. If still nothing and you think something is wrong then call the hospital.

 

[wavescrash]

My baby was less active during the glucose test. I think she had a sugar rush followed by a sugar crash and fell asleep hahah.

 

[yazzy]

RBurnett hope baby is moving around now, as long as you are feeling movements throughout the day you should be fine.

Anti - I think all the colours of the Silver Cross pram we have are nice, mine is in the pistacio and black. You'll love it when you put it together...so easy!

I've just had my letter through for my antenatal classes!! I have 4 classes and they start on March 9th...getting so close now!! Anyone else starting them yet?

 

[RBurnett]

Hey ladies it took a very long time and I was about to call hospital and then he moved a bit so i left it for a while longer and felt him slightly again. He has got a bit more active and I think once I have dinner a pancakes (day early) he should wake up!

 

[zephyr]

Youngni - I have been nervous about those contractions too haha I seriously think I must be mad wanting to do it all over again though I am sure once they are here I will be glad I did

Sharon - Congrats on the scan and a boy! Your son must be so excited about having a baby brother.

I have my midwife appointment today, I've always gone to my appointments and not really had much to ask but today omg I'm bombarding her with a whole lot cos I'm not gunna see her again till the birth if she can make it.

Hope everyone has a great day

 

[rjsmam]

hey sweatpea - hope all has been good in your pregnancy so far

RBurnett - these bambinos like to keep us on our toes huh... glad you're feeling movements & hope the pancakes wakes him even more

Sharon - congrats on your boy, what a beautiful pic & great weight - so gorgeous - bet your son's delighted

yazzy - glad you not back at work yet, your health's much more important so just take your time. i also feel much slower walking & being impatient I used to get cross with people who seem to dawdle (am always in a rush!) but now i'm a slow old moo

Zephyr - wow last mw apmnt til birth - are you seeing the hospital before then!?


back at work today for me boo. had such a bad sleep last night, the wind was howling, then had to get up for the loo, then my darn cat was determined to wake me, she was pressing her paw onto my face at 5am - was so tired i tried hiding under the covers but she persisted sticking her paw under the covers prodding me in the face! she was gentle so no claws just prodding me but jeepers could do without that! naughty moggy. need to make sure she can't access bedrooms & get into habit of it

yazzy, I have my 3 classes starting the 14th of March..Unfortunately hubby can only make one but I think it is the important one from his point of view as it is he one for after baby arrives (he's never changed a diaper before)..I also have my growth scan on the 26th of March so looking forward to seeing bub again before the birth.

 

[zephyr]

rjsmam - yeah last midwife appointment till birth if she can make it to the birth otherwise she will do the home checks after birth for the first 6 weeks.
I have my first specialist appointment in 2 weeks and will be seen at the hospital from now on. EEK just thinking about it gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes haha This is scary and unknown territory!

We are going out shortly to get a hot chocolate before my appointment, I have not had one in ages cos they make me spew but I feel like one and wanna see if I can handle them yet
