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

[zephyr]

LOL avoiding the fattening stuff, everywhere I go I am surrounded by easter eggs and chocolate and its driving me mental! I am proud to say all my easter eggs I brought the other week are still intact! I got myself a crunchie bunny the other day yummm

Yazzy - I'm not sure, maybe ring anyways? My babies hardly move at all but thats because there is absolutely no more room in there for them too. I got some good kicks last night from both but that was the first in ages, its mostly just stretches and wriggles now. Your baby could just be running out of room too?

rjsmam - nice pic! I agree a high bump

bumpin - I do hope they come this month but I do still want May 1st babies, I kinda promised a friend I'd have them on her birthday haha but then I will be 38 weeks then and huge! and probably very sore.

I dreamt I was watching someone have a c section last night :S every night I have been dreaming of the birth or going into labour or having the babies here already......

 

[rjsmam]

thanks both - yes feels high to me too - feel junior might have moved back to transverse as have big bump under ribs again, but maybe not....

yazzy - i agree - is prob related to growth spurt but do call if you're worried honey. i have spurts where i'm mega hungry too & other days when i'm not hungry at all.. think for me it depends on position

zephyr - well done on the egg front!! i have to say i've not been so cautious on the healthy eating front.. oops... yikes on the dreams - scary stuff - is really close for you now!!!

i have my best friends birthday party next wk - am so gutted i can't celebrate with lots of drinks with her - however i'm gonna make the best of it.... it's an 80s theme - any ideas what i could go as!? there's loads of madonnas already so that's out...... no the easiest when sporting a big bump!

Oh dont worry! the past week my healthy eating went out the window, I had icecream with pretty much everything and last night I had a chocolate bar AND a cadbury creme egg annnnnnd I may of had a little bit of ice cream too.

I feel very strange today and I can't seem to shake it, I've had low backache and tonnes of contractions. Just like those other days last week and the week before! I seem to feel like this about once or twice a week now and its exhausting and painful My kids have been out all day so I have actually just sat on my behind all day long and still feel this way! uggh and I feel like spewing and have the worst fog ever!

Anyways my 34 week bump picture! Also over 34 weeks now, yay! This is good news for my twins I would rather they stay in for another 2 - 3 weeks of course but if they did come now they wouldn't have many problems.

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me jumping in on this thread. I'm due May third.
I couldn't resist responding to the last message from zephyr, I'm with you on the ice cream. I think all the cellulite I have is from Ice crea, with some sort of chocolate added to it. Its the one thing I can't resist. I normally eat really well but its definitely been my downfall. Does anyone want to take a gender guess by looking at my bump? By the way, my avatar was taken almost a week ago and the b&w pic only a few days ago, think I've dropped? Am getting loads of bh and shooting pains in my cervix. Not sure I'll make it to May.

 

[yazzy]

I had ice cream for the first time since last summer the other day and it upset my stomach so not missing it at all now lol.

I think my baby wants to be a nocturnal little owl! As soon as I layed down last night he/she got a wiggle on and I had arms running up and down my insides and even at 3am this morning (bit of insomnia on my part) I had what I think was elbows poking out. Everytime I touched it baby shot away then stuck it out again lol!

Yeah at my last appointment I spoke to my midwife and said I don't get those big kicks but I get bits poking out and pushing against me now which she said is normal because they don't have the room to kick like they did before. Only a week until my scan....I can't wait to see baby again and see if this placenta has moved!

Hope everyone has a good day, i'm off to babies r us with my mum to pick up a few bits and pieces this morning then off to see friends who have a litter of Rottie pups...still deciding whether my mum is going to get one so we can go in partnership and have another pup to show...exciting times!

Sharing my misery, just about to head for third doctors appiontment, haven't slept properly for nearly two weeks and didn't think it was possible to itch this bad! Finally seeing one of senior GPs so just hoping for some joy


This was several days ago it is now worse, all over my legs, back and starting on arms and stomach.

 

[YoungNImum]

Oh Sharon that looks really sore big hugs x

 

[RBurnett]

Hey everyone

I had my baby shower yesterday and it turned out so good. So many people turned up and it was a bit of a squash!

I got so many lovely gifts and also got a yummy mummy Bag .

We played two games "How well do you know mummy" and also gues the poo lol where my sister melted different types of chocolate into nappies and u had to smell/taste and decide what type of chocolate it was...!

I cant wait to put all my new bits away, but going to try and leave it for when im on maternity leave..FROM THURSDAY!!

I hope your all well x

Sharon i hope they can give you something to make the rash go down, looks so sore

Yazzy - my baby does the same, he pokes bits out and when i touch him he quickly moves it, haha!

Im still waiting to drop as i cant wait to breath properly again!

Looking forward to my next scan on the 11th to see if they are going to induce me...a lil bit of me hopes so as Ill get to meet lil man sooner, im so ready for him now and hate this waiting!!!

 

[rjsmam]

Oh Sharon that looks awful! You poor thing – has it just sprung up? Is it pg related – sorry if you’ve already told us. Have they given you something for it? Big hugs girl! Hope it clears v v soon.

We bought our travel system today woohoo. It’s 2nd hand from someone I know – but is in perfect condition & the model is still on sale for £400 new (we got it for £90). We got car seat, carry cot, pushchair, rain covers, carry bag etc, I’d obviously have preferred to buy new but needs must in the current climate unfortunately. Dh was so excited and seeing him pushing it about excitedly almost brought a tear to my eye! Eeeek there's going to be an actual baby in our house haha

[frangi33]

hey sharron, that looks really uncomfortable I hope they give u something to clear it up nice and quick!

Yazzy my baby is the same as soon as I lay down at night she see's it as strech and play time. You know the kids game where they have to knock as many gophers as possible back into the holes with the mallet? I feel like we're playing that game with our baby - wheneva I put a hand where a limb is sticking out she moves it and another limb sticks out somewhere else!

 

[wavescrash]

waves - that picture is amazing haha how much lower can she get?!

HAHAHA I don't think she can get any lower without being born. It's beyond ridiculous. I'm sure you can understand the intense pressure it brings haha!

Girls! We can officially now say our babies will be here next month!!! X

Holy cow!!!! I can't believe it

Waves: Wow has she ever dropped... Me thinks you have a chance at being an april mommy too!

Tell me about it! I hope so!!!!

waves woweees - that's a really low bump!!

Ugh tell me about it! It's not pleasant hahaha.

Is anyone else suddenly felt extremely hungry??

Yes! I can't stop eating hahaha. I'm eating everything we have, I swear.

Welcome and congrats!

My LO dropped big time the other night and I've had tons of cervical pain so fingers crossed it means something.

If I had to take a guess, I'd guess boy.

Oh Sharon so sorry you are going through this. Question for you... do you have it on your belly too? Did it start in your stretchmarks? It is more than likely PUPPS and sadly seems the only real cure is delivery. I have been dealing with this for two weeks as well. My belly really doesn't bother me too much but I have it on my hands and it kills me. The only thing to give me real relief, though short lived, is Gold Bond lotion.... basically I think anything with menthol in it would work. Cold showers are fantastic as well. I lather up with some Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap and slather on the Gold Bond and I'm good for an hour or two.

I"m actually seeing the dermatologist today to see if she can prescribe me anything even though I heard most things do not work at all.

PUPPs only happens in 1% of pregnancies but is most common in 1st time pregnancies, women carrying a boy (70%) and multiples... so I basically hit all three oh those main points! Should I play the lottery? I really should not have said the other day how great the 3rd tri had been to me especially with twins and how great I was feeling.

 

[RBurnett]

Wat is Pupps?

 

[loveacupcake]

Wat is Pupps?

Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy (PUPPS) is a rash that affects approximately one out of every two hundred pregnancies. It is the most common of all pregnancy related skin rashes and is most commonly compared to hives. It comes on suddenly and can be extremely itchy. PUPPS starts in the stomach region but can spread to the extremities.

I had another afternoon of contractions and my lower back was killing me and this time paracetemol did not help! So I got out a hot water bottle and that took all my lower backache away thank goodness. There was nothing regular to them at all so wasn't worried about them, it was the back ache that had/has me worried.

Got my consultant appointment in just over 2 hours away so I will see what they say, low back ache is back again this morning and paracetemol doesn't help the pain at all. Hopefully its just the weight of my belly causing it. Never got backache like this in any of my pregnancies before though, mind you, I don't think I ever got so large before.

I'm sure its nothing, probably just a twin thing :/ Its not very pleasant though.

Also because I will be getting close to having my twins in the next month I just thought I would say we are not announcing any sort of labour or delivery until after the fact! I will post if I can on here to let you all know when I go into labour, provided its not a fast one but for those of you on my facebook dont breathe a word! haha last thing I want is for swarms of people to come up to the hospital before I have even pushed them out.

Just thought I would say that now in case I forget when the time comes

 

[Ems77]

my bumpy dropped a bit... needless to say, it has gotten HUGE as well!!!

 

[zephyr]

haha it has! There's no hiding that bump

I had my appointment and my growth has not changed at all since last appointment, which is surprising cos I certainly feel much bigger than a fortnight ago but the tape measure still says 48cms so....48 it is. I've gained a kilo in two weeks so there's some growing going on somewhere......

They were not sure whether they were going to do another scan but decided to in the end because after looking at the notes and seeing one was smaller they decided they want to monitor him more closely. So I will have another scan in the next week to check his growth.

I have an appointment on tuesday with my midwife THEN on the same day I have an appointment at the hospital midwives, THEN my scan whenever they decide to do that and then a week after that I have my appointment with my consultant which I am guessing will probably be the last one with him as its 36 weeks and a bit when I see him and she made it sounds as though she did not expect to see me after that?!

Got more anti nausea meds (Yusssss!) and my contractions and back ache will get worse BUT was told that if it changes or the clusters of them I get worsens over time to go straight to delivery so......eeeek she said what I got yesterday sounds pretty normal for twins but if my backache didn't go away then that would of been the point where I go to hospital.
How scary!! I may have to put my feet up for two weeks and cross my legs just to make sure they stay put for a bit longer.
