Sometimes I find it hard to go to sleep because I enjoy feeling him wiggle too much I think i'll miss his wiggles when he's not there

I too am having horrid nights sleeps, just feel like i'm constantly awake, it's like I wake up every time I move!

Kezziek you have a racing heart? I have too and wondered if it was normal, I was going to ask on wednesday when I see the MW, sometimes it suddenly goes so fast for no reason, and sometimes it's like the wind disappears from my lungs too!

Lungs get compressed as the baby grows which is why many people start to feel short of breath. Racing heart can be a side effect of that also x

 

[Longing2bAMum]

Often it feels like i've been winded, sometimes I can feel that he has moved deep inside, as in no kicking outwards, but I can feel that's he's having a re-shuffle in there and then i'll feel winded, then I know that's from him pushing something else, but sometimes the racing heart feels like heart palpitations, i'm sure it is normal, just some of these things really take some getting used to don't they

Going up the stairs kills me; pre-pregnancy I could run up the 3 flights and be fine. Now I have to stop on each floor as I'm so out of breath x

 

[Courtney917]

My sleep has been terrible. My 3 year old has been getting into the habit of waking up at 3AM every night and I can't go back to sleep once I wake up. I feel like a zombie all of the time, it is so terrible. I, too am out of breathe as soon as I reach the top of my stairs, its horrible lol. I guess this is what its like entering into the 3rd trimester....things you forget from previous pregnancies lol. On a positive note we are going to look at strollers today!!! I am purchasing it online as it is cheaper but we want to check them out in person first

Yeah I do suffer with palpitations and a racing heart, it seems to be worse when i'm lying down trying to get to sleep. I was feeling quite anxious about it but everything I've read seems to suggest it is normal and very common in pregnancy. I do suffer when I'm not pregnant too though it is worse this pregnancy - i've had tests done a few years ago and it seems my heart is structurally ok but there are some electrical diaturbances but they are not concerned as I am fairly healthy otherwise. I know for me though that caffiene is a major contributer so maybe try not to have much, if any caffiene and avoid chocolate before bed ( i've been naughty and eaten rather a lot tonight and lo and behold my heart is racing- whoops!) it doesn't make it easy to sleep.

I definately miss the baby wiggles when I'm not pregnant. I love feeling like you have a constant companion it's nice at work if you are in a difficult meeting or feeling lonely and you get a nice few nudges that remind you what you have to look forward to have to say that that will be the only thing I think I will miss this time around though. I normally miss having a bump too but this time I am struggling with being big and sore so early on that I'm wishing the time away xxxx

 

[Sass827]

Ugh. I'm out of breath with a racing heart and tired from not sleeping because of frequent peeing too. But worst - I had my glucose test Thursday and I failed! Ahhh! Now I have to go back in two weeks and take the three hour test. I'm so scared of the test and worried I have gd. Ugh! Has anyone failed the first round but passed the second?

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Hey ladies... so sorry i havent been on, Ive been soooooooo Poorly ive been trying my best to hibernate in between school runs and the Snow hasnt bloody helped

Anyways i hope were all well...

just skimming through last pages:

Im eager to Breastfeed, i never did it with my 1st, because i was young and had the attitude of, OMG i wouldnt dare get my Boobs out in public!... Second son came along and i just went with bottles thats what i knew, so went with that... but within a few days it wasnt the same for him as it was my 1st son, he was sooo windy and had a hard time of it and i felt guilty that i had this milk for him that wont give his trapped air etc etc, so i just took the plunge! i never thought i could breastfeed, but i did do it... It didnt last long, but if i was more determined to get through the mastitis and sore nipples i probs would of carried on... This time round im more determined to do it!, im not buying bottles, dummies etc etc as i dont want to sort of go oh well ill just bottle feed her, like i have done before. But im not stubborn enough to keep on at it, if she isnt benefitting from it... cloth nappies again, im the same on that... Never used with my oldest, second i had disposables and then a friend was like look at my cute nappies, so i got some of those, but i only had like 5 of them, and there were bulky to hell and dug in and were justa pain i had to wash everyday!!!... so those didnt last long.... But this time ive bought plenty of nappies, that are more so like disposables... so im hoping those work for us

regarding sleep, ive been doing ok with it to be honest... But im such a heavy sleeper and once im asleep thats it, im out for the count untill the next morning when i need to get up! lol im terrible for my sleep haha

Sass i had a 3hour GTT done at 16weeks and i never heard anything from it, so it was good news i dont believe we do 1 hour GTT's only the 3. x

 

[lesley1988]

my lil boy is now due 2nd of may they changed my due date

 

[Courtney917]

Any ladies plan on formula feeding? If so what brand do you plan on using? I used Similac with my boys but now I am worried bc I ready that they found elevated levels of BPA in the formula due to the lining in the packaging. Thinking of going organic but not sure what brad to use?!? Ugh I am so confused :/

 

[TTCBean]

I am thinking if I can't breastfeed for some reason, I'll use the brand Earth's Best Organic formula...

 

[Courtney917]

I was looking at that one and the price frightened me lol. Then I read some things about it in terms of the way that the DHA is extracted and it uses a combo of bleach and something else which also worried me. Perhaps its time to STOP looking at the internet?!? lol

 

[Hann12]

We do the 1 hour test in the UK, I had it last time and having it again in a couple of weeks.
Hope you pass the 3 hour one Sass

 

[kezziek]

Sass I've never done a GTt before but going to have one this time probrably. I can imagine a lot of people fail the one hour one though? Just due to the nature of being pregnant and how we clear glucose out of our bodies.Maybe they will know in 2nd/3rd trimester boards? I hope the three hour one gos fine for you xxxxx

That's interesting, I too suffer from this normally, not very often, but it happens, and I had tests done a couple of years ago to find that there was nothing wrong with me, so maybe the two are related then, glad to know it's just normal for us lol, I don't have any caffeine, but I will start looking to see if I get it more when eating chocolate, I hadn't thought about what could be a trigger!

When I woke this morning at 5 for the toilet, and because i'd rolled flat on my back so was beginning to get out of breath I couldn't get back to sleep and my little guy woke up to keep me company, that was really nice



V day for me today

 

[TTCBean]

I feel bad, I've spent about $800 the past 6 weeks on furniture for the baby's nursery... and the baby won't even be sleeping in there for a couple months. But I figured he will need a place to store clothing, cloth diapers, etc and the crib converts to a toddler bed. I bought a glider chair, too, so if we need alone time or to read books, etc we can in *his* room.

First baby's are super expensive... wow. I still need to get the cloth diapers, some clothing, cradle mattress, etc. Because of all the necessity costs I feel silly doing a nursery! Ugh!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Don't worry TTC. We've spent loads. And my cloth diaper obsession has cost me will over $100 in the last week alone!

 

[kezziek]

Tis nice to do a nursery though ttcbean enjoy it

My first babys room was put together very quickly. I got a moses basket leant to me and we brought a lovely second hand cot for £50 and we just brought new mattresses for them both. We managed to get a wardrobe and bookcase from someone giving them away so we were lucky. My hubby is always very against buying stuff new in the shops as he has a very good free ads section at work where people sell/give away very good quality stuff. I was still disappointed though not to have the dream furniture set- if you can afford it I say go for it x

 

[kezziek]

Happy v-day L2B!

I keep waking up on my back :-\ i do find it so comfy at the moment though with sore hips but it does make me worry and start prodding baby poor thing!x
