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

Waves - i would have been annoyed to that nothing has happened if i was getting that much pain and pressure, talk about teasing u!

I was so let down and a bit too upset that I forgot everything I wanted to ask her about. Luckily none of it was too important and I go back in just 5 days but still. It's definitely put a damper on my day a little bit. I'm hoping that there's some change on Tuesday at least.

36 week bump is the first one. 34 week bump is the second. Does it look lower to anyone else?

Yeah, definitely looks lower to me!

Yay for your last day at work Rburnett! I've been off for ages now and loving every minute of it

I keep meaning to get my bump pic off my OH's phone to put on here and I keep forgetting.

Waves sorry to hear you are still in pain. I'm suffering with a very painful pelvis aswell, just walking causes a lot of pain but I although I am now resting a lot more I am making sure i'm still mobile by walking the dogs etc.

Now the bigger bits of furniture have been moved I am working on all the little bits in the nursery. Waiting til payday when I can then order some decorative stickers for the walls, get some curtain material so my mum can make them and buy other little bits and pieces....the cot bed arrives on Tuesday yay!

Wow all this talk of getting baby out! We are getting close

rburnett hope everything goes ok - perhaps its just babas position causing ur measurements to be small

ive got a lot on at work so baby needs to stay put but gosh the bh's when i get up after being sat down! starting to get uncomfortable too but when i hear about you ladies with twins i tell myself to shut up and stop whinging coz u ladies are saints!

Thanks. I'm lucky enough to have been off work so long (since end of January) and I get to stay off my feet a lot but it's gotten to the point that I dread having to stand up for any reason, walk for any reason. The moment I get up, it's like my pelvis is about to break. I'm glad to have had a healthy pregnancy otherwise but my goodness, the pain is so unreal at times.

RBurnett - I hope everything is okay I am sure it will be! Least you dont have to wait too long for your scan.

Waves - Sorry you didn't get the news you were hoping for :/ Could the pain be from something else? Weeks ago I was in agony round my pubic bone cervix hips area and I was so sure I would of had something going on down there too, but when I got my belt and started using that the pain went away and I only get it now if I have been on my feet for ages without the belt. Could it be the same sorta thing?
I know that the trouble walking and fusing up was what was happening to me and especially getting out of my seat to a standing position was the worst! it was just pure agony. I still get it now but its been better since using the belt
I dunno could be something different but it might be worth looking around and testing some out and seeing. When I tried mine on I didn't really notice a difference, it was when I took it off after 5 minutes of testing it out that I felt the pain come back instantly.
I'm not sure if you have these where you are but I am sure you may have something similar https://www.smileybelt.co.nz/

Thanks. We have different kinds of support belts here but they're all so expensive and not something we can afford at the moment unfortunately. I'm sure that would help a little bit though. I try holding my bump up with my hands sometimes and feel a bit of relief but not enough haha.

 

[zephyr]

Aww, what about a local online auction site? It sucks aye, I was fortunate to be loaned one by the hospital so it didn't cost anything, if I had to pay for it, it may of been a different story!

This one doesn't lift my bump up, it goes round the hip area and pulls them together slightly.

 

[bumpin2012]

waves, you could try a cheap wide tensor bandage... that might provide you with a bit of support.

 

[yazzy]

Morning girls...hope everyone is well.

My hospital will give out those belts aswell which is good as we don't have to pay anything for them.

I'm having one of those 'you must wake up baby' days...he/she has been busy moving around all week and now it gets to the weekend baby slows down and doesn't want to move much...I wish he/she moved the same amount every day and then I wouldn't worry!

Well I spent 7 hours in maternity outpatients yesterday waiting to see a doc and it is official I have PUPPP. So nothing they can do beyond the antihistamines and only cure is delivery! So roll on the next 6 1/2 weeks of very little sleep and ripping my own skin off. Rash is practically everywhere and driving me potty.

 

[anti]

Sharon that's awful!! Hope the next 6 weeks goes super fast for you. At least baby is ok! Xx

 

[yazzy]

Oh no Sharon, I hope it doesn't get any worse and roll on baby arriving.

Baby started rolling around and pushing limbs everywhere today. Been quite busy today and now can't wait for dinner and a night of chilling!

 

[frangi33]

ah bless, i give hives sometimes as im allergic to the cold - yes the cold! and its not nice, I cant imagine having it as bad as you. Do you feel better now you know what it is?

 

[wavescrash]

Sorry to hear that Sharon :/ I can't even imagine. I hope the antihistamines help and delivery is as soon as it can be for you so you can get some relief.

I actually found one for like $20 +shipping on amazon. Worth looking into... can't find my model anymore though. Had to use it in the 2nd trimester after a growth spurt left my lower back in total shambles. Since I hit 3rd tri though my back pain went away. Very weird!

Since I last spoke to you my PUPPS rash has moved not only my belly and hands, but to my arms, thighs, butt, knees and feet. My fingers are so swollen they hurt aside from just the itching. I was prescribed a topical steroid cream by my dermatologist but haven't really noticed much difference. My OBGYN said she would prescribe me oral steroids but I don't know how i feel about taking them. If you can get your hands on some Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap it is a godsend! Lather up real good with the stuff and let it sit on you for a couple of minutes then rinse with cool/cold water. I get relief for a few hours with that. I really wanted to enjoy and relax my last month before the boys get here and now THIS. Guess that's what I get for having a relatively "easy" twin pregnancy.

 

[rjsmam]

[bumpin2012]

Rjsmam - the gym is more of me trying to get labour going, more than anything else... I dont think I've been to the gym weekly in the past 10 weeks...lol... but they say lots of walking gets things going, so I am determined to be walking as much as I possibly can until baby arrives!

 

[zephyr]

rjsmam - Yeah we got some today I was so happy, they are so yummy.

Man I feel shattered, I had a nap this afternoon. In the weeks before the birth I get really tired and have to have a sleep during the day, not like before when I was tired its like a flooring "omg I need to sleep" kinda feeling eeeeeek its gunna be soon. Less than 3 weeks probably!

I am also a bit annoyed cos I got my scan date in the post and my dr wanted me to have a scan within a week but they have booked it two weeks from when he said "within a week"
This is the scan to check my boys growth cos of the difference between the two and also because I had not grown at all in two weeks. I just hope hes still growing and healthy it seems like they are way too laid back here. Or maybe I'm worrying over nothing.

Hope everyones having a great easter! I had lots of chocolate haha naughty me

36 week bump is the first one. 34 week bump is the second. Does it look lower to anyone else?

At first I was looking at them left to right and thought... hmm... no, and it's smaller too. Then re-read what you said about the pic order and realized, ohmigosh, heck yeah I see it has dropped down! :-D

I have been holed up with my damn cold and playing WoW (nerd alert here! LOL) that's the reason I haven't been on in a minute. Also not much happening. Sharon, I am so sorry about your ordeal, it's not like we don't have enough to deal with just being pregnant alone!! Sheesh!! You too Rachel, your ordeal=no fun!
