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

[RBurnett]

I only see the midwife and not the dr and im glad because my dr doesn't know much about pregnancy etc!

I had a gud day not worrying about baby weight and today after my thread asking what their babies weigh at 33 and all worry again..come on 11th April!

 

[anti]

Erin thank you for popping by to say hi. That was lovely of you!!

Rburnett please don't stress yourself out anymore! Your baby will be fine. The less you worry about it the sooner your scan will come round!

Yazzy I'm like you.... Got loads of baby grows but till bubs is born and we know what it is we can't buy any other clothes! Can't wait to buy little outfits and stuff!!

TODAY IS THE DAY MY OH GETS HOME!!!!!
Have been up since 8, am so excited!!! have been keeping myself busy This is the banner I made for him Do you think its ok? or is it a bit girly haha

 

[wavescrash]

Is anyone else starting to feel sore and tender really low down - like bottom of your bump and pelvic area??? I have noticed it over the last week that i'm getting sore especially as the day goes on.

I think the appointments do vary depending on where you live, here in the South West I had an appointment at 28 weeks, 31 weeks and now today is my 34 week appointment then I think it is 36 and 38 weeks and then maybe weekly until baby is here.

Yeah, definitely more sore down there. I think it's because of the added weight as baby is getting bigger and if any of our LO's have engaged, that'll do it too.

My appointments are all different because I started seeing my doctor at 6 weeks as opposed to 8 weeks since my last 2 pregnancies ended in losses. So I was going 2 weeks before I should have for most of the pregnancy. I go back at 35 weeks and then 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40 weeks. I see her again next Thursday and then I'm on to weekly appointments which is pretty freaking crazy! I never thought I'd get to that point.

luci - thats so sweet, i bet ur sooo excited to see him. I couldnt deal with OH going away so u done so well up to now.

Repacking me bag and realsied the clothes for him are going to be too big, my sister helped as she has done this twice, she said to get a few tiny baby clothes and then pack a few new borns just incase!!.

I wont buy to many tiny baby stuff cos im hoping after bfeeding him he will soon plump out. Im getting sooo excited esp as we might be meeting him a lil sooner

 

[yazzy]

Rburnett i've also packed some early/tiny baby vests in the hospital bag because even a 7lb baby can be swamped in newborn. Please try not to worry, depending how tall you and your OH are could be why your LO is slightly smaller. A friend had her baby girl at 34weeks and she was 3lb...she's now a very healthy 13 year old.

Luci lovely banner, bet you are so excited meeting your OH today!

Anti it will be so fun going to buy some little outfits when our LO's are here...I can't wait!

I've had my 34 week midwife appointment today, had glucose in my urine sample - oops! She thinks it may be because I had had a drink of squash just before taking my sample...she'll check again in 2 weeks and if it shows again I have to go for a glucose test or something. Apart from that baby is doing great, head down still and heartbeat nice and strong and i've grown 3cm in 3 weeks.

Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather and having a good day

 

[RBurnett]

yazzy - glad ur mw appointment went well and hopefully it was just the drink u had.

I feel more happier and will just see how it goes at the next scan. He moves around a gud amount so that makes me feel better. Yeah my friend baby was 7lb 5oz and new born was too big for her.

Im not sure weather to call in sick again 2mo or go to work. I hate pulling a sickie but i felt so much better at home, my sister came round with my nephew and we walked to shop and watched mickey mouse club house and i just feel better in my self. My feet didnt swell as much as normal and i was cool in my house and not too hot. I only got till next Thursday but that seems soo far away still.

Im just thinking about my baby shower this sunday and im soo excited, my sister and mum have organised it all and i got about 20 ppl def coming

I have been in an unbearably foul mood all day, which is only showing faint signs of leaving now I am on way home from work and its a sunny evening.

It is really unlike me anyone got any tips for shaking it off?'

Delivery Sorry, couldn't help it. How about an email from one of my customers:

My company is in the US and sells books on Amazon for a penny. We recoup cost through shipping which is $3.99 (in the states). They pay about 2 for the book and two for shipping. A man contacts us today and asks if we can ship the book for free TO CANADA because it's only a penny... wow, just wow!

Do something for yourself (buy a new outfit or piece of an outfit, treat yourself to something super yummy you've been avoiding due to money or being pregnant) and wait until you wake up tomorrow.

Honestly, that's all I can do when I get in those moods. It's due to a hormone-surge most likely and the only thing that helps me is waking up the next day.

 

[RBurnett]

I was the same yesterday cos i just couldnt be bothered to be at work...so i pulled a sickie today!

 

[rjsmam]

hey everyone...

well i was right - junior has turned! although dr said he/she is still very free so isn't to say they won't turn back. after being concerned about getting gd she said my blood sugar was pretty low... my blood pressure is also still low but all in all it's good for junior so all is well

luci it is amazing the differences - my friend lives 16miles away so next to the same city but her mw apmnts seem different too! i don't have another apmnt til 35 wks.

sorry.... bit of a crappy post today - had another mega stressful day at work & need hot bath for painful ribs & chest from coughing! hope you are all well

[frangi33]

hospital bag?! I dont even have the bag to pack anything into yet, argh!

 

[zephyr]

I feel much better today! I can actually move and have a little bit of energy and only have a mild sore throat and a bit of a cough now! Phew so glad cos yesterday and the day before was scary. If I'm too sick to move then you know I'm pretty sick
OH did a wonderful job of looking after me and the house and cooking etc on top of work!

Erin - Thanks and congrats! I hope you have a smooth pregnancy

Luci - haha cute banner! How did the meeting go?! Bet it was like xmas. I could not imagine that long without my OH.

cliqmo - eeek sleep usually helps! Hope you feel better

Frangi - haha aww you should get one! I have packed my babies bag and was meant to do mine ages ago but have kept putting it off and I still have not done it. Its gunna be one of those moments where I will be caught offguard and OH will have to pack it for me and he will probably pack me pre pregnancy clothing that will not fit and a whole heap of useless stuff that I don't need. That almost scares me into doing it right now actually.......

I got up to pee 6 times last night!! between 11pm and 6am and that doesn't include all the times I have to sit up rearrange my pillows and roll over cos cramp from lying on one side for too long. This is crazy, the aches and pains I can deal with kinda but this getting up all the time is really annoying me. I am so sleep deprived it aint funny but somehow I am still functioning and getting up to pee during the night is nothing compared to getting up to a newborn.......and I'm gunna have two of them!
Every time I get up all I can think is "omg, two babies....how on earth?!"

And to top it off my pre teen moody daughter has been testing us the past few days too, little minx. Hope she snaps out of it!

 

[zephyr]

I am freaking out a bit tbh In a little over two weeks time if I go into labour they wont stop it. This is scary! and they said to expect them any time after 36 weeks. omg. I am really nervous about the birth and everything.

 

[bumpin2012]

Z - I think if I went into labour now they wouldn't stop it... Thankfully Im fairly certain im going overdue, so it helps keep me from freaking out...

Feeling like crap as always these days... throwing up every day this week... grrrr. At least the end is in sight.

 

[zephyr]

Aww that does suck! Hope the vomiting is nothing. I have had to up my nausea meds cos I'm back to it again if I don't take them and I am so over vomiting it aint funny.

I think the most irritating part of pregnancy is not knowing if you will go over due or early or what! My window where I can have them is slightly less than everyone else but its still frustrating as anything. I dread reaching 40 weeks (with single babies) and then going over, hopefully yours arrives on time

I had two big whopper contractions today 20 mins apart then nothing. They were so painful I thought for sure I would be at the hospital by now. It radiated into my back and was like the worst period pain ever and both lasted a good 40 seconds each. Most painful two so far!
I will be surprised if I make it to 38 weeks tbh. I reckon 36 and a half.

Every time I get those painful ones I txt OH and tell him its probably nothing but I got the worst contraction so far....its gunna be like the boy who cried wolf, when the real thing comes along hes gunna blow me off and dordle his way home and probably find me spitting out babies!

Hey ladies... I know it's early still but I started up an Etsy shop and make birth announcements for super cheap. You get the high-resolution, large file so that you can print them off yourselves or get them printed off at the store.

If anyone would be interested when the time comes, check out my Etsy store - https://www.etsy.com/shop/StringAndInk

I'm still adding new designs every day but there are a few things up right now.

 

[Ems77]

... his way home and probably find me spitting out babies!

LOL, that's funny!

I've had a few of those contractions and they are sooo not freakin' funny!

 

[yazzy]

Zephyr good to hear you had a better day and hopefully that will continue. I think anytime after 34 weeks they don't stop labour as baby should be fine to be born then...can't believe you will have your babies within the next few weeks!!

Cliqmo what normally helps me if i'm abit grrr about something (depending on the weather) a nice soak in the bath with a good book or if its hot and sunny laying out on the grass in the garden with my dogs and again a good book...for me it solves everything

I've got to go and see my doctor in a bit due to her signing me off with my coccyx pain...think she just wants to see how i'm getting on. Apart from that I am going to chill today because that really helped my soreness yesterday...laziness is the way forward lol!
