holy im getting the full body movements in there like alien hahaha
 
Wow you ladies are looking so lovely with your bumps! I'm starting to feel huge now, with 10 weeks to go I can't believe I'll stretch any more!

Munchkin has been soooo wriggly today, it's been lovely to feel. I lay in the bath earlier and the water was wobbly from his movements. It's his most wriggly day so far :)

How are you ladies doing? We're off to London at the weekend to see family and am looking forward to a weekend away with hubby but a bit nervous about the amount of walking involved - hope I don't do too much and feel totally worn out.

I went for my whooping cough injection yesterday and my arm feels bruised today. None of the other jabs or blood tests have left a reminder like this, nothing major just annoying.

It's great to see that some of you are also making bits for your babies. I'm still knitting a blanket which seems to be taking forever but can't wait to wrap him in it. Might try some baby slippers after. I also tried to crochet yesterday for the first time - I'm definitely a knitter!!

Hope you're all keeping well. Haven't had chance to have a proper catch up on the latest posts yet.

Not long now girls!! :)
 
Anyone get BH while peeing? Seems to be happening to me every time I pee tonight.
 
The full body movements are crazy! I didn't understand what they were at first.
Poppy- I hear you on the stretching thing. Seriously, how am I going to get 10 weeks bigger? I feel like im at least a 35 week size now. I keep thinking I'll say this size, then the scale tells me otherwise. Ugh. I hope your trip goes well!
I usually get bh when I'm walking around or not drinking enough.
 
I drink a lot, I'm at 136 oz of water, and I'll probably drink about 8 oz more... so I don't think I'm dehydrated or lack of fluid causing my BH. Maybe just the walk to the bathroom + full bladder is causing it. I'll mention it to my midwife tomorrow. I know BH are normal for 3rd tri, but getting them multiple times a day worries me... but I worry about everything.

OMG, YES! Also whenever I have to pee, which means I am limping/dragging my legs to the restroom! People look at me like I'm about to go into labor everytime I have to pee, because I'm all clenched up! Not cool baby, not cool.
 
It is so nerve wracking. I was nervous when I wasn't having bh that my uterus wouldn't be prepared to contract. Now the bh make me nervous that I'm going into early labor.
Plus, I really freaked myself out today. I was on a thread that said OBEM is all acted and shouldn't be viewed as real (as I've been doing) and to watch YouTube videos of real births. I did it and it was terrifying! Now I'm totally freaked!
 
Wow ttc I know you measure your good out but your water intake too? Have you always done that or just in pregnancy?

Sass - I feel like I'm the size now that I was when I was about 32 weeks with DD so that's a bit worrying! I wouldn't watch anymore videos either - it just gives you worrying bad thoughts and you don't need that. I stopped watching OBEM when I was pregnant last time, it really doesn't help so much to see or hear stories of other people's births. You generally only ever hear horror stories, not many people with lovely birth stories ever tell them so the horrible ones are the ones always out there. Close your ears to it all - you will be fine whatever happens :)

TTC, they're perfectly normal to have multiple times per day. You only need worry if you're getting 4 in an hour and they're painful. Other than that they're fine. I get them on peeing if my bladder is overly full. Again nothing to worry about.

Have a read of this which will reassure you that getting then throughout the day is fine https://www.babycenter.com/0_braxton-hicks-contractions_156.bc

Oh my gosh! Jenson keeps sticking his knee out halfway between my ribs and belly button! Its so funny pushing it back in,feeling him push it back out again! I'm even wiggling it from side to side with my hand! Lmao! He's making me giggle!
 
Thanks Hann! Have you ever done the whole perinatal massage thing?
 
hey ladies - had my 29 week appt yesterday. baby sounds great, he's finally head down (i could tell he was head down, because i'm starting to feel his little feet in my ribs and sides!)

got my rhogam shot in the butt yesterday. dang, it stung a little! plus, i've never had a shot in my butt before. i kept laughing nervously. the nurse must have thought i was insane. anyone have to get a rhogam shot?

I had my Anti-D injection which (after checking with Dr Google!) is the same as Rhogam at my 28 weeks check. I had mine in the arm though. On Monday I had my whooping cough injection which hurt way more, especially the last couple of days. I hear injections in the rear are really painful so glad I didn't have to have mine there!

Have any of you ladies bought your baby monitors yet? I'm starting to look and getting completely baffled about which one is best. I don't feel like I need a motion sensor one as I'm sure I would over worry just waiting for it to go off. Have you got any recommendations?

Munchkin is wriggling around right now! Loving having half term off, means I get to enjoy feeling my baby boy wriggle around all day! My plancenta is at the front so don't think I feel him as much as if it were elsewhere.

Have a good day ladies! xx
 
Poppy - we're a bit OTT with our monitor I think - but our nephew sopped breathing and SIL swears the monitor is what saved him - so we have the Angelcare Sound & Momvent one.

That being said all the time we have the sidecar crib it won't be any good, as it'll pick up my movements, so we're also getting a Snuza Halo to use then.
 
I get rediculous BH at night feels like all night sometimes than it goes away by morning way worse this time than with my first

Funny timing! I have literally just ordered this last night Motorola MBP36 Digital Video Monitor. Spent ages looking on Which? But their best buys are only the voice ones and I really wanted to be able to see him on video.

I also spoke to someone in a baby shop who said (and I don't know if its true) but that you can only use the motion sensor/mat until they're 6 months and she would argue that as the baby is ideally in your bedroom for the first 6 months then it's not as much use. The other thing that put me off the mat is that friends of ours said it was always moving/falling out and therefore going off (again, not sure how true it is) plus would sometimes go off even though the baby was fine.

Ttc I only drink water (no hot drinks or fizzy) but I have no idea how many I have per day ;)

Sass - did you mean perineal massage?

Monitors - we have the angelcare movement monitor and a Motorola video monitor. They are both brilliant!
