Cupcake, lol! It's funny how we're all different! I'll be GUTTED if my bump goes huge x
 
Poor LP. I hope it eases and you can have some pain free time xxxx
 
LP was it you that was saying you had RLP last week? I thought at the time that what you were describing then was more mild SPD, i've been suffering for a couple of weeks with SPD symptoms, i'm going to the MW tomorrow so will talk to her about it, but i've been trying my hardest to move in specific ways to try not to aggrevate it any more than necessary, when getting in and out of the car keep your knees together and swivel round, that helps greatly as getting in and out of the car is really painful for me, and all the other advice from Jules does wonders too. When moving in bed keep your knees together and clench your bum cheeks when you roll over, I can really notice the difference when I don't do that! And a warm shower usually eases mine a bit, a bath would probably be amazing, if only I had one :(

Don't man up, this is the only time in life you can moan for good reason and not be told to man up about things :hugs:
 
Good tips jules! I feel like an elderly lady most days from SPD, the annoying thing is that most people haven't heard if it and just assume its another general pregnancy ache and pain, whereas for some people it can be really serious
 
I had my coat done up today so probably just looked a little fat and I was walking down some stairs in this shop and holding on to the rail as I went and this old woman went to start walking up as I was nearing the bottom and gave me a really dirty look when I didn't move over, bloody old people thinking their the only ones with aches and pains :haha:
 
Thanks for all your advice ladies,I really appreciate it...it was me longing2beamom that wrote about RLP last week,like stitch when walking etc and I've been really achy over the last week with my hips when laying down,so I guess it would make sense to be that.

the hospital told me to take a couple of paracetamol and give them a call back to let them know if the pain is easing...it concerns me that the pain seems to have hit me so suddenly,and it hasn't eased all day,so I think id like to get checked over for peace of mind...i just don't want to feel like im wasting anyone's time...still,I don't want to leave it either if I dismiss it as something silly if its actually not x
 
If you don't feel confident that it's nothing to worry about then i'd say get it checked just to put your mind at ease, it won't be wasting anyones time, it really is better to be safe than sorry sometimes :hugs:
 
yes, it's definitely better to be safe than sorry! no amount of friends telling you that everything is fine and it's all normal is going to ease your mind if you're worried. i only feel better if the doctor or nurse assures me that everything is fine. at first i felt like i was bothering people, and then i realized that this was my child! my baby! i don't give a crap who i bother!!! :)
 
I've got to pop in and get checked at the maternity unit in hospital, just to be on the safe side...trust my hubby to not want to answer his phone lmao! I'll update later once I've been...I'm sure everything will be fine, but it'll be nice to get the reasurrance of what's causing the pain!

Hope you ladies are having a good day x
 
when i gave birth to my oldest, i was put next to a lady on the ward, she was older than me at the time... id say about 20 odd i was 18 at the time...

and she just give birth on the bathroom floor! she had no clue that she was pregnant, she was married also.. She did have a little weight to her to begin with, but not to the point you would think would hide a baby!!! and i kept thinking how on earth could you of not known??? lol... but then years down the line i realised that some woman wont feel baby kick etc, if placenta is at the front as that cushions the blows.. but yeh it propper baffled me, i felt dead sorry for her as all she did was cry, i think it was just tears of shock more than anything :/

awww LP SPD is deffo something you cant just man up about chick... ive been fortunate not to suffer from it, but i have friends who have and its horrible :( maybes trying some techniques what hann and Jules have suggest may help to relieve the symptoms some :hugs:
 
Hello Ladies. Sorry it's been awhile & it's going to take some reading to get all caught up. I ended up going to the doctor last Thursday morning which led to a "preterm labor" test as I had one of the cramps I was talking about while she was examining me. It made her a little nervous so that started all the testing. Long & short of it, I'm having extremely hard braxton hicks. The preterm labor test came back negative (longest hour & 15 minutes of my life)!!! No infection of my urine, bladder or kindeys, my cervix is closed, fluids all look great & Mason is doing well measuring right on the money for EDD of April 26th! However, she was not bashful at all when informing me that I'm pushing 37 years old, not superwoman & it's now time to start taking it easy. No lifting over a milk jug, not to spend too much time on my feet & get rid of anything causing stress..... UMMM, I'd LOVE to take care of the last one, but unfortunately I have bills to pay & I really like to eat so guess I won't be telling my bosses to "take this job & shove it" anytime soon..... So now I'm stressed because I feel I have so much I need to get done & sooner now than later. DH is keeping his thumb on my head & not letting me do ANYTHING. Which is sweet, but it's driving me nuts. I'm being good because I want to keep my little Mason safe & sound where he is for as long as possible, not to mention sitting on my butt doing nothing is better than laying on my back on bedrest for the next 3 months! But now I have the fear he will be here early since it seems he's anxious to meet us!!!

On a good note Sunday night while we were laying in bed DH & Mason were playing a game with each other. It was so cute!!! DH had his arm laying across my belly & would tap my left side of my belly & Mason would kick him in the arm. They did this for about 30 minutes... I loved every minute of it!!!

Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to get all caught up on the reading!!!!

Have a great day!
 
Just failed my one hour glucose screening. Anyone else? Now I have to take the three hour one.
 
boo. that stinks :(

i have to take my one hour test on friday morning. today is the last day i'm letting myself eat sweets. i'm going to totally detox myself from sugar on wednesday and thursday. going to be a loooong couple days!
 
Good luck! I felt sick after the one hour test, I hope I am ok for the three.
 
My one hour test both last time and this time is to drink some lucozade original then have a blood test an hour later, maybe it varies elsewhere though

Yuck! That really sucks. I took mine a week ago yesterday & haven't heard what my results were. I'm guessing the results were ok since I was at my doctors office all darn day Thursday.
 
My one hour was just drinking the orange drink (tasted like orange crush) waited an hour then they took my blood.
 
I drank a fruit punch drink and then tested an hour later. I hope I pass bc I love sugary snacks in this pregnancy and will not be fun to give thm up. But I will do anything for my baby!
 
BabyMay I'm the same way about sweets right now! I tell ya I could live on them. Sure hope for our sakes we passed!!!
