May i join you all :wave:
I'm due 14th May with my first. My last u/s showed :pink: but we're getting another one done in 4 weeks :winkwink:
 
Hi cupcake.star!

Kezzie - I always wake up on my back too, my hips are killing too so it must be a comfier position for us!

Cupcake - I've spent soooo much on cloth this week! I've banned myself from anymore!!

Feeling really rubbish at the moment, sick, faint, tired. Stupid blood pressure!!
 
I don't even want to know how much I need to spend on cloth diapers... ouch. I have 5 so far costing me nearly $90. I am hoping to get 25 before baby is here.
 
Ttc I'm the same, although I've had done bargains (10 bum genius AIOs for £35 including postage!) I've also spent a fortune on others. Just not thinking about it right now!!
 
well it was a rough early morning for me had a gallbladder attack at 2am worst pain I have ever felt in my life including labor pains. I had gone for a birthday dinner of ribs last night and felt super full and braxton hicks came on of course like it wasnt bad enough to be that full.

So I wake up at 2am with terrible pain under my ribs which I assumed was a stomache ache since everything was so pushed up. the pain got worse and worse ended up lying on the bathroom floor shaking from the pain my body went into shock as it generally does with that much pain. I didn't want to wake my hubby as wen just went to bed 3 hours before so figured I would tough it out maybe have a bm and be fine. when the pain started getting worse and going away and coming back I said ok now this could be baby issues and I cant take that risk. Woke up my hubby by me vomitting all over the floor from the intense pain. We got dressed and headed to the hospital got me in right away Mason was moving like crazy they monitored him he was fine was there for 2 hours on 3 hours of sleep not fun.

They called in my dr and she said it sounded like a gallbladder attack which apparently is pretty common in pregnancy. So now I have to go for an ultrasound on my gallbladder to see if i have stones or not. Than I guess we will go from there gotta stay away from fatty foods which is fine since we don't eat much fatty foods anyways.
 
That's terrible pink! My mom had gallstones once and said it was the worst pain she ever felt :-(
 
It was pretty terrible even my dr was like how did you suffer through that for two hours I absolutely hate going to the hospital only when I thought it might be baby did I say ok time to to lol
 
Poor you pink. I hope it all gets sorted ASAP and you don't have any more pain. Sounds like you're one tough lady to cope with it for so long!!!

Ok night for me. We swapped bedrooms yesterday so it was a little weird.

Woke up to pee at 3.30 and then baby had the hiccups so that kept me awake and entertained for a bit. How cute.
 
Pink I hope you are okay, sounds awful! You will laugh in the face of labour pains though ;)

Cupcake I woke up at 4 and baby had hiccups! Couldn't get back to sleep for ages though as my hips were aching. Should get used to it!

Got annoyed by my SIL last night, I had told her by FB that my blood pressure is really low (lower than just normal pregnancy low blood pressure) and I'm getting symptoms of hypotension so it's actually pretty serious because I'm sick and faint a lot and I'm looking after my 18 month old so I can't rest even though I've been told to. Anyway she had sent me a nice message saying she hoped I was better soon. Then later followed it up saying that basically I should get over myself because most women get low blood pressure in pregnancy and I should just eat ready salted crips and I'd feel better! I'm upset because I had explained to her that its bit just a case if simple low blood pressure (which actually I have all the time anyway) but its the hypotension symptoms that are making it bad. She's making out that I'm making a fuss which annoys me as I'm not, I have no help during the week, no family nearby, I have a very active toddler who was sick and not sleeping all of last week, and I am just getting on with it! This weekend I did rest a but more because my DH insisted on it but I only rested when I was feeling exhausted or faint. I feel like she's being really unfair and thinks I'm making a drama out if things.
What annoys me even more is in the past couple if months she's had 2 weekends when she's taken to her bed saying she's sick and can't look after her 2 children, but even when I was 8 weeks pregnant and feeling awful and I had the norovirus (as did DD) I still didn't stay in bed because I had no help as DH was at work! I'm not the kind of person who makes a fuss so I really resent the fact that she's making out that I am now! She also did it when I said my morning sickness was bad and I was on prescription drugs. She said that she just got on with her nausea - she never had actual sickness so clearly had no idea what I was going through! She always had to be right though!!
 
Awwww, Hann, sounds like your sister is being a bit of a muppet!!! I can completely understand how it's made you feel! I'll be the first to say it, pre-pregnancy I was one of those ladies that "just got on with things" regardless of if I felt well etc, but pregnancy has turned me into a wuss! I've had a hard time of things (According to me) with all-pregnancy morning sickness so far, aches and pains, emotions etc......BUT WE'RE PREGNANT! what better excuse is there to have a little outbreak every now and again!

It sounds to me hun like you're an absolute SUPERWOMAN with dealing with your little one whilst having a crappy time of things! There's nothing that annoys me more than someone saying "Get on with it" or dumbing down how you're feeling just because you're pregnant...would they be saying that if you weren't pregnant I wonder, and were feeling like you are? I'd have thought that sisters would be a little more understanding and sensitive, but even one of my sisters has been a bit "off" with me throughout my pregnancy.

Don't worry hun, by the sounds of things, you're doing fantastic, so don't let anybody drag you down...you've always got the ladies on here to offload to!xx
 
Ouch, pink, sounds like you've been through the mill too...looks like we have a second superwoman for dealing with such pain! I had to giggle a little though (Inappropriate I know) that you'd deal with the worst pain in the world, but would only go in when you thought it could affect the baby! That's a definite mommy in the making! I'm very glad to hear that little Mason is very happy in there, and I hope that they get you on the mend soon, so you don't have to go through that pain again!

Cupcakebaby, how do you know when baby has the hiccups? I keep reading about women saying this, but I don't have a clue how to tell?!

Hello cupcakestar! Congratulations on your little girl! Can't wait for the next ultrasound update!x
 
Oh my gosh ladies, I am having the worst night sleep lately!

Last night I got woken at 1am with an awful urge to be sick...morning sickness in the middle of the night, WTH? For one, I'm annoyed that I'm nearly 25 1/2 weeks and still suffering morning sickness and, for another, I hate that it's becoming more unpredictable and the nausea is creeping back in to keep the vomiting company! Not fun!

Took me ages to fall back asleep again, and when I did, I had the same recurring dream that I seem to be having lately...I keep having a nightmare that I'm going into premature labour (Usually between 26-28 weeks)...last night, they had to PULL my baby out of me, took him away straight away, and kept him in a hospital in Vietnam?! I couldn't see him, or hold him, and wasn't updated on how he was doing other than "he's fine", and I woke up with such an empty sad feeling this morning...it was awful!

Worst thing is, the little buggar is having a bit more of a quiet day too! I'm sure he'll perk up later but, for now, I'm going to get my doppler out to check he hasn't run off to Vietnam...though the size of my belly tells me he's still firmly in there!lol x
 
Awwww Hann. Your SIL sounds a pain - does she have kids? Could it be a jealousy thing?

LP - what horrible dreams! Hope the doppler eased your mind.

Hiccups are just like little kicks/pokes/jumps but they happen rhymically. I only noticed 2 days ago when I had about 7 movements in a row all equally spaced so I could tell when the next one would happen compared to her normal random movements.

Hann - mine don't seem to last too long. Maybe only 10 hiccups or so. Not sure if she moved a bit or only has short bursts of them?

Pink, so sorry to read that. My mum is 1 month post- the removal of her gallbladder after a long time suffering with it. She has also said that it was the worst pain she's ever felt (and had 2 babies with no pain relief). The consultant said in passing that hers was "riddled" with stones and it's often the case that this would have started in pregnancy (and there's a hereditary component too; something for me to look forward to in later life!).

Hope you feel better soon... x
 
Hann, sorry your SIL is being an arse. Try to ignore it if you can (or at least craft a reply that cuts her down!). It's so irritating to hear that women use their own pregnancy as a baraometer for what is acceptable symptoms/issues in someone else's pregnancy.... Some people have a terrible ride, others much easier. Doubly worse if she's being hypocritial too.

Chin up x
 
It's amazing what your body can handle and I'm a wimp when it comes to pain labor pains are actually not so bad if you breath through them I had them with my son when I was induced before my c section. I sure hope I don't have to deal with that again as if being pregnant isn't enough all the other stuff we go through I tell ya.
 
To the ladies with the achy hips... I started getting sore hips yesterday and I've been doing labor lunges...they help SO much!! They relieve so much tension and just loosens it up! I definitely recommend them.
 
Rough days ladies! Sorry to hear about your GB pink. I hope it doesn't come back. My SIL had trouble with hers last year while pregnant and wound up having it removed after delivery.
Hann - I'm sorry to hear about your SIL being a jerk. What is her deal? She really does sound jealous and judgmental.
I'm sorry your still feeling sick LP. I have odd dreams too and I find them to be so disturbing! They don't make sense, but they just feel so real and are so hard to shake. Ugh!
AFM, I just got back from a work meeting with one of my coworkers being a week behind me with her second pregnancy. It's our first time seeing each other since last year. I swear she is smaller than me! Double UGH! I feel so big and embarrassed over my weight gain. DH gave me a wonderfully encouraging speech last night about feeling good about myself, and it did help, but I just feel so guilty. I eat pretty healthy in general, but I've still gained about 30lbs, and I'm just horrified. Maybe I do have GD and this is why?
