Hope everyone is feeling ok today
Has anyone ever had problems with trapped wind?

I've had trouble with it, but not burp-wise, it holes up in my intestines and hurts so bad that I can't stand up straight sometimes.

I've had feet/arms/various body parts EVERYWHERE!
This child is so active... I swear s/he flips at least 3 times a day, and is attempting to find an exit through my belly button...

Me too! And it hurts like h*ll!!

..FEET IN RIBS = UNCOMFY!!..Anyone else having this done to them?

Not with this one too much (luckily). Did with the other two though... hurts bad!

As I have said before, definitely have reached the PAIN part of my pregnancy. LOL!

 

[luci and bump]

So I saw yet another midwife today (after being told I would only have 1 midwife at the GP surgery) Told her about the pain in my nipples, and she pretty much said "deal with it" But, she did let me record babys heartbeat for my OH, so have uploaded it to my laptop and emailed it to him Hopefully the computer he has in thailand has a programme that will let him listen!
We have a skype date tomorrow at Midday UK time Am so excited to speak to him it feels like christmas haha

Hello ladies. I have begun painting the nursery today. It is exhausting. Can't believe how quickly i get soo tired. Unfortunately my husband had some bad news yesterday, his sister has just found out she has skin cancer which is also in 4 of her lymph nodes. He is naturally devastated. After all the awful things that happened last year, this year was meant to be a good one.

 

[rjsmam]

hoping so sorry to hear about your sister in law, that must be so hard for everyone, will she undergo radio/chemo? thinking of you all....

today i got such a fright..... our boys were playing football with dh in the back garden when i opened the patio door to shout to them - the ball hit me straight on, directly in the bump - it wasn't too hard but i was so upset. i got the doppler out & heard hb straight away, can feel plenty movement etc so seems junior was well protected. was so upset at the time though & am still keeping an eye & checking regularly

heartburn is also plaguing me at the moment along with backache... meh tis hard work the pregnancy thing huh....

ugh indeed. I can't think of a body part I don't have a complaint for.

 

[zephyr]

hoping - I'm sorry to hear about your sister in law too Such awful news.

I am run down with heartburn too, I am eating a packet of antacids a day. It just never stops. I am constantly guzzling milk and antacids and nothing works for very long. I wake up during the night and have to chew my antacids while I am half asleep.
I am averaging about 4 hours sleep a night now.

I do have to say though, It has been about two weeks almost entirely vomit free now!! I think?! Maybe a bit less either way it has been ages. I have had the odd bad day but nothing like before. I am so happy about this! It happened back when I thought my bump had dropped so yay! I have even been able to take my iron tablets without too much of a problem

I have traded the vomiting for awful awful pains everywhere. I havn't been online all that much just because even sitting is so uncomfortable.
I now have between 6 and 8 weeks left maybe earlier but hopefully no earlier than 6 weeks. I am nervous but also I cannot wait till this is over, I am enjoying it but the pains are tough.

I needed to rub some heel balm into my feet last night cos I have been neglecting them and they are a bit cracked and my poor daughter had to hold my legs up cos I could not reach my feet, haha go me!

Zephyr, will they let you go to 38 weeks with twins? Here they will induce/section you at 37 weeks if you haven't gone on your own. Im not sure what drugs you can get your hands on, but Zantac (ranitidine HCL) is completely safe to use during pregnancy and works wonders. I take 150 mg twice a day and rarely need an antacid. Here in canada is available over the counter, so you dont need a perscription for it.

Waves, I agree! I can't think of a body part either that I dont have a complaint for these days. Im so uncomfortable, and I think your bump is bigger than mine!

Hoping, I hope all works out well for your SIL. Such sad news for your family. Hopefully her prognosis is good... many hugs!

 

[RBurnett]

Hey ladies, Guess where i was last night...yep Hospital!! I think i may have had a tester of labour...FML it hurts.

I woke up feeling really sick and was tossing and turning I then started to get some really bad pains. I had a pain that never went and then every 3 mins i had this crippling pain that went right across my stomach. I have never experianced pain like it. I couldnt speak or breath through it, so alwful. I thought OMG im going into labour.

By the time i was seen though the pain had started to get better (always the way). I am so scared of labour now as it will probably be a worse pain then i was in last night and last night was enough for me.

The Dr put me on a monitor and i wasnt having any contractions. Baby was absolutly fine as always and happy kicking away. The Dr checked my pulse and asked if anyone had ever mentioned that I have a irregular heart..no! Although i thought i had noticed it once when i listend to my HB on my doppler but didnt think anything of it.
So they kept me in and did a ECG. That was fine and I was told its normal to miss a beat sometimes. I got OH to check and he could feel the missing beat...im not too worried as i have never had problems with my heart.

Anyone they dosed me up on pain killers and I tried to sleep but hard cos i kept hearing newborn babies crying and my baby didnt wanna sleep!.

Saw some more Drs in the morning who confirmed all my tests have come back good and they are still going to treat me as having undiagnosed pregnancy pain. The Drs said I need to just deal with it till i have baby. I told them that would invlove me taking codine all the time and they expalined the risks and expalined baby would be taking some in and that scared me.

The Drs went and the midwife came over and told me I shouldnt have to put up with the pain I was in as it was taking over my life and if im in that pain again to come back but i do think why bother they will just send me home! I know they cant do anything, they done everything possible, urine, bloods scan and everything is normal.

Midwife checked baby HB on doppler and she was saying she could feel baby wriggling under her hand and then baby kicked her lol.

I am home now and I just dont know what to do....! I have a scan to check my placenta even though the lil scan they did the other day showed it may have moved and I see the consultant in 4 weeks but may ask to see him sooner. How am i going to manage another 10 weeks of it. I dnt wanna take the codine so its just paracetamol and suck it up and get on with it

Sorry for going on and on!

 

[zephyr]

Bumpin - Thanks, I will have to look into that cos I again went through another packet last night and the other thing that annoys me is I can't take iron tabs within two hours of taking one so if I get heartburn after taking my iron I have to suck it up for a couple of hours lol
I have my hospital appointment tomorrow and will be speaking to the consultant about the birth etc so will find out more then but my midwife said to me If I don't go into labour by 38 weeks then they will induce me and if I go into labour after 36 weeks they wont stop it. She also said it depends on the babies of course, sometimes they need to get them out earlier but she seems to think I will go all the way to 38 weeks and need to be induced haha I hope not! 37 weeks sounds good to me.
It still surprises me how things are done differently everywhere! I would love to have them at 37 weeks!

RBurnett - How frustrating! I am sorry this is still ongoing for you and they cannot find anything wrong. Maybe its the baby and what position it is in? I don't know, pregnancy is so full of aches and pains and everyone is different and experiences it differently. I just hope it stops soon, it doesn't sound very pleasant.

My appointment is tomorrow, nervous ahhhhh.

rbunett - oh hun, thats sounds awful the night/day u had!!! i cant imagen how scared you were!!! at least u and baby are fine, but i guess its fustrated when they cant give you a reason for why its happening! thats what i dont like, i had same prob when i had a big bleed in november and they couldnt give me any info on it, just told me things that happen!!! take lots of rest hun and take it easy, hopefully the next 10 weeks will go fast! u never know you might only have 7 weeks i am hoping that after 37 my twins wont be too long to come out!!!! hehe!

wavescrash - whats the spinningbabies? i have heard about it but not too sure what it? is it meant to help move baby more from breeched to non breeched?

zephyr - lol, i am sure they will love it!! hehe! youll come back and they will be all hyper from the sugar!! hehe! joking! i am sure he will be just fine and feed them "normal" dinners!! hehe! hopefully when i see other peoples babies i realy want my twins to come too!!!!! not long now, not long!!!!! oohh hope today goes wel! let me know what they say! i havent had the talk about labour yet!! i have an appointment on the 12th march and a growth scan so maybe they will do it then!

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all well

Rburnett - it is annoying that they don't know why you are getting pains but at least the baby is doing well.

i've spent this morning cleaning and tidying at home and have my physio appointment at 12.30...typical that yesterday and today my coccyx isn't as painful as it has been for the last 4 weeks!

Midwife on Wednesday for my 31 week appointment and first Antenatal class on Friday so loads of baby things this week! I have just put all the woollen blankets that have been knitted for me in the wash so can get them on the line and dried later...it is sooo sunny here and my garden always feels warm when the sun is out

 

[luci and bump]

Baby has been moving much more than usual, normally just as I start to doze off, baby wakes up and has a bit of a disco. Last night it was really uncomfortable, so wiggled around for a bit until baby found a more comfy place!
Had a bit of a crappy weekend Worked 2-10 without a break on Sat, so didnt get to sit down all day, and then worked 2-9 yesterday. Most people who come into the restaurant are lovely, but you get the odd few who think you are beneath them. Had a horrible family in yesterday, who asked for a highchair, then proceeded to block a fire escape with their pram. I explained that we couldn't have the pram there, and they all turned on me and were really nasty Luckily it all happened in front of my manager, and they ended up leaving, but I still went and had a good cry!!
Have been stressing about money and space a lot recently too, I feel bad that baby isn't going to have anywhere special, as we can't afford anywhere with a separate room for baby I can't even get furniture to put babies clothes in, as we don't know how much space we'll have when we eventually find somewhere to live! So everything we've bought for baby is piled up in boxes and bags, which doesn't help when we're trying to figure out what we have so far!! Just feeling so down and low, and want my OH here

 

[wavescrash]

wavescrash - whats the spinningbabies? i have heard about it but not too sure what it? is it meant to help move baby more from breeched to non breeched?

It's a website someone on here recommended. It's different techniques for helping move baby into position and to help during labor. Not just breech but transverse and oblique babies as well.

I have my doctor appointment in just under an hour and I'm excited to hear the heartbeat again and see if it's any different from previous appointments. Curious to see if we talk about labor and delivery or anything exciting. Hoping they have me back in 2 weeks instead of 3 this time. Hope you're all doing well. Still no Internet over here.

 

[luci and bump]

I am soooo happy atm, my OH just bought a phone and sim card and we've just chatted for 20 minutes
And, am trying not to get my hopes up, but he's talking about not being able to stay out there the full month any more, he misses us too much, and is talking about coming home on the 21st instead now Am trying not to get my hopes up too much, because he could still be staying, but there is a chance, he'll be home a whole 7 days earlier

 

[chloe11]

yazzy - excting stuff!!! i wish my antenatal classes hurry up! mine are not till end of march/april!! its really sunny here tooo!!!!! i was sat outside having my lunch and my doggy was sunbathing! hehe!

luci and bump - awww big hugs!! some people can be soo rude and they just dont care. i have never understood how people can be so rude to other people. sorry to hear your getting sad about money and space would u not be able to to maybe put some of your clothes in those boxes that you can fit under your bed and maybe u will have some draw space for baby stuff?

wavescrash - lets see what they tell you at your app!!!!! its always lovely to hear heartbeats!!! i will have a look at the website as one of my babies is breeched as far as i know!

xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[RBurnett]

At the moment my baby was head down by is now breached again with his head just under my left ribs and when he stretches i can feel his head sticking out and can feel his skull!

I Does anyone know the lastet time to have a 3D scan, i dont want to go but to far ahead for it to be any good.

 

[wavescrash]

Appointment went well...

I’ve now gained 18lbs total which is crazy to me. I don’t know why. Hannah’s heart rate was 140bpm and I’m measuring 31 weeks along. I go back in 2 weeks (finally reached the every other week stage!!) and she said around 35w is when we’ll try and see how she’s laying and go from there. It’s just flying by now. Realistically I could have this baby in another month and a half and for whatever reasons, everyone thinks I’ll be having an April baby instead of a May baby… We’ll see I won’t complain if that’s the case haha. I’m ready to be done now.

 

[RBurnett]

How come you could have the baby next month?...exciting though hun if u do
I now see midwife every 2 weeks, so much better than when u saw them less times. I cant wait to start taking raspberry leaf tablets and getting my ball tomorrow to start bouncing on

 

[bumpin2012]

Waves: Im desperately hoping this baby decides to show up in april. I've had enough of pregnancy...

Im starting the RLT tonight!
