No not major normally just caused by pregnancy hormones causing everything to relax all the ligaments etc in that area. Plus often your stomach muscles aren't so strong which can cause back pain too.

Some ladies really do suffer badly but generally a bit of physio and some exercises helps the majority of us with mild sciatica/pgp xxxx
 
I'm not sure if I'm carrying high or not, all I know is that it feels like I had a growth spurt over the holidays. I just tried on my scrub top for work tomorrow and it is now skin tight :blush:

Tmi alert: my boobs are definitely getting ready for action, I woke up with a huge wet patch on my crop top. It's been happening for a while not but this was the biggest yet!

PS. Happy new year mums and mums to be, we are all officially having babies this year!!!

Here is me at 22w2d excuse the messy hair/ bathroom :blush:

Beautiful bump Foxy!!!!

TTC sorry to hear you're having thy back pain sounds horrible. X

Kezzie I hope you don't get it this time around. X

I wake up a couple of times a night now with a really sore left knee. I don't know if it's cramp or if I'm somehow laying on it funny.

Hope you all have a wonderful new year. I was asleep by 11pm. Lol. Party animal!
 
So I just googled the knee pain at night thing.

Turns out it is a cramp and the baby is laying on a nerve that effects my knee somehow.

Oh well. At least I know it's normal now. X

Just a bit of a shame as it means I have to roll from lt left side to my right and I know that sleeping on your left is the best position for us.
 
Cupcake I'm happier on my right too. I try to do small stints on the left if I can, but I even wake up on my back which worries me.
 
DH woke me up twice last night because I was on my back snoring!! Lol.

I really want to get out of the back habit but I just don't know I'm doing it!

I'm sure once we're bigger it won't be comfortable and we'll wake ourselves.
 
We've just been to Mamas and Papas and ordered the pushchair. We went for the Sola in green, our first choice was the denim but the green had £100 off so seemed silly just for the colour to pay more. The £100 we saved will go towards the car seat. We also bought the seat liner with 1/3 off too so it was only £10, a bargain shopping trip all in all! All feels very real now!! Also bought our baby boy a very cute all in one from next in the sale.
 
Happy new year everyone!

I love all the bump pics!

Can't remember who asked (on my phone) but I think my weight gain was pretty steady in the 3rd tri, not a huge deal in the last few weeks

Poppy - buggy sounds good! I wouldn't have paid more for the colour either

Mighty - that's good to know that the Charlie banana are good in practice. They just feel a better quality!

As for sciatica - if it's bad def just get a physio referral. I get it because of my prolapsed discs in my back - no worse or better in pregnancy, it can be nasty though.
I'm also more comfortable on my right side but trying to go on my left as much as possible to get the baby into the optimal position.

Scan finally tomorrow!!
 
Lovely bump Foxy :) looks like mine not really high or low. I carried a lot higher with my boys like you jtink.

Great news on pram Poppy I was so excited when I got my first pram I set it up straight away and pushed it round the living room with teddies in. :)

Hann- exciting about your scan tommorow, yay! Hope it's a lovely experience for you and they hide babies gender well xxx

I'm quite impressed with my DH managing to keep our babies gender a secret throughout the holidays, he normally really struggles. I am happy we know and you ladies know but I always prefer everyone else to get a surprise at birth. Last time he really struggled to keep the secret and most people knew so I was so cross with him, I keep giving him the 'look' everytime I see him get asked and he starts to squirm bless him.

Feeling really sick this afternoon :-( hoping its not a coming.

Sass hows things going with the family? Hope they have come round abit now xxxx
 
i am kathleen , due may 8th

my 21 week and 5 day bump :hugs:
 
Great bump foxy and Kathleen!
So excited for you tomorrow Hann! GL!
Hope you feel better Kezz. I had a sore throat this morning, but seems to be gone for now.
Ttc - you've got it so together! I wish I was as far as you in the nursery...
As for my family, they made the week a nightmare. Pulled some real drama. Finally tonight, after some real bs coming from my mom, I said, you can either agree to disagree, or just stay out of my life. This is who I am, this is what I'm comfortable with and you can choose to accept me or stay away from me because I'll not have this stress put upon my daughter and me. She said some mean things at first, but in the end she agreed to not bring it up again. I hope she is telling the truth. DH as been really wonderful through it all. I feel really lucky to have him and all of you smart women to talk to.
Happy new year gals!
 
happy new year ladies!! bought baby some more clothes last week and got a huge dresser for baby and my sons clothes much needed. Don't really have anything big to buy since we just bought a stroller a few months ago we barely used since winter hit just gotta buy the seat to fit it. we already have everything furniture wise from my son so really its alot of clothes which I love lol. I feel like im carrying a basket ball I still haven't gained much weight about 10 lbs most of it seems to be baby.
 
Happy new year ladies, i'm so excited for this year, I wonder which of us will go first? :D

I have done some spending this weekend, I've ordered all of my material for making wipes, bibs and a play mat and also ordered all of my nappies, we've just gone for flats and a few prefolds, but i've spent slightly more on the wraps to get a bit of cuteness into the nappies :D

My parents decided they were going to buy us our car seat, so they got that this weekend and will bring it with them when they visit in February, along with all the nappies which were cheaper to deliver to England, so they'll have a full load to bring lol

I'll probably get baby matress and duvet this week as my mum is going to make a patchwork duvet cover for him so she needs to know measurements so that she can get it made before they come. We'll be making our own cot, we want one that attaches on to our bed, but our bed isn't a normal height bed and the area we want the cot to be has a low sloping ceiling, so I don't think a normal height cot will fit!

Those of you buying nappies, one of you mentioned the tots bots, I don't know if you've looked on amazon, but I found these, I thought it was quite a good deal, I think it's because they are the old style, just to let you know :D

I can't wait for it all to arrive, Kezziek I think i'll probably just have the car seat sitting with a Teddy in it till the little one arrives :haha: just small bits left to get now, like a baby bath and more clothes etc eeeeee only 4 months away ladies :D
 
Longing2bamum you sound really creative! I'm really impressed. I will be making my own patchwork quilt for my little one (did the same with DD) and making wipes but thats about how far my creativity takes me! Thanks for the link to the nappies, will take a look.

I have bought the following mattress:
https://www.naturalmat.co.uk/product.asp?strParents=104&CAT_ID=255&P_ID=754
They do 3 different ones but I've gone for the latex organic. I didn't get an organic one for DD and hers has been fine to be honest but I feel like I want to get a better one this time, plus I've just bought us an organic mattress for our bed so thought that my little ones should have the same. Not bought one for DD yet though I have to say.

Scan in 7 hours (taking into account they are bound to be at least 30 mins late!!)
 
Woooo Hann. Not long to wait!!!

I only had 1 option for a mattress as our cot is a funny size (space saver) it's a foam one. I'd have preferred sprung but it has good reviews and she'll probably only fit in there for 6 months or so so we'll get her a cot bed and will get a much nicer mattress then as it'll do her a few years.

Only problem with my funny shaped cot is its hard to get fitted sheets. I've got some travel cot ones which were on sale and roughly the same size so will need to test that they fit. Might do that this evening.
 
L2B they are a good deal. Bamboo is very absorbent so could be a good night time option with a wrap. :)
