Hann – sorry to hear that A is still unwell but at least DH will be back soon. I'd take tonsillitis over a heavy cold any day – at least you can sleep with a sore throat. So much harder if you have a bunged up nose, splitting headache. Fingers crossed that you don't come down with it too. Congrats on hitting 32 weeks today!

Foxy – sorry to hear you're in pain. Hope it passes soon and you can get some decent sleep. Everything is 10 times worse with sleep deprivation.

Babee - Good to hear from you after so long and congrats on 33 weeks! Pleased you're getting what you want in terms of anaesthesia for the C section. It's funny but I'm opposite to you – I have just been haggling over being knocked out for it as have decided that I definitely don't want to be awake. DH was unhappy with that first but placated as he will be waiting in the anaesthesia room so the baby will be brought to him first and then taken to the recovery room for me once I've been stitched back together. He's happy in the knowledge that he will be the first one to hold/see him.

Anyone heard anything from maybesoon recently? She's been rather quiet, hope all is ok…

AFM, I am 33 weeks today too. In honour of this I have posted a 33 week bump photo (sorry it's uncovered but I'm not at home at the moment and only have long, loose jumpers so if I didn't do that then there's nothing to see). My bump is pretty lumpy - I can see bits of the baby poking out!

Great bump pic jules! Have to say I'm with Babee though - would def not choose to be knocked out, I would want to be the first one to hold my baby. I can understand it though.

Annabelles eaten something which is great! Tonsilitis is def worse for her than a cold, she can sleep through most colds but this she doesn't understand and it affects their nose and ears, headache and of course a really high temp anyway. It's not like when we get it now when it's just a sore throat
She's on the up though yay!!

Cupcake - I've been sewing! Will post when I have something to show for it. Yours is great though. I was going to put a trim around the front like you have, and I did with Annabelles but I don't think I will with this one. Just keeping it simple as too much going on!

Cupcake love it!

Jules fab bump xx

Had 32 week growth scan today, unfortunately baby is under 10th centile for weight so I am being scanned every two weeks now. I think they may make a call to deliver her early if she continues not to put weight on. Her measures for legs, head etc are all fine though, she's just a skinny Minnie! I always knew this could happen as I had low PAPP-A at 12 week bloods, which can indicate placenta problems. I'm just thankful she is being watched carefully and that we are this far down the line before it became an issue.

 

[julesjules100]

Lady H - ah, not ideal BUT may not come to anything as long as she stays at the 10th percentile each time they scan her. I'm on a 3 week scanning schedule now to make sure LO stays in his percentile too but trying to focus on staying as relaxed as possible, get a bit of exercise each day and eating well.

Hann - ack, not great for A then if it's worse than a cold (they're just my pet hate!). Hope she gets over it quickly at least and good that she's on the up.

[Hann12]

Lady H it's great that they are taking care of you and I'm sure your little girl will be okay.
Mine was 4 days overdue and the 9th percentile - she also was long legged etc but skinny. She's still small at 19 months but perfectly healthy (apart from picking up every germ there is!)

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Glad you're getting well monitored Lady H.

I know it must be a bit worrying but the centile chart is for normal babies. And someone has to be 10th just like someone has to be 50th and 100th.

Maybe she's just destined to be a lovely little petite ballerina.

Not like my 90th centile head, 40th centile stubby legged lady. Poor her taking after her short legged Mum and her big headed Dad! Lol.

 

[missmayhem]

ohhhhh ladies sorry for my absence, little lady is teething and it's non stop entertaining her or she melts down.

Bump is getting more active again, growth scan shows i'm going to be having a "big" baby at 9lb/ Hardly what i would call massive..... they told be DD was going to be massive as well and was 7lb14


need to start washing bumps clothes not sure when to start it to be honest, prob about 34 weeks

 

[jtink28]

jules, can't believe how tiny you are!! my belly is HUGE!

 

[Hann12]

Jtink - mine is bigger too lol

 

[julesjules100]

It's taken in the morning so a bit misleading!! I should do one morning and one in the evening - its a much bigger picture then, literally! x

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Jules - mines much bigger at night too! X

 

[julesjules100]

Jules - mines much bigger at night too! X

Its really staggering the difference between morning and evening! I know it's water and food intake but you really wouldn't think it would make SUCH a difference. I just said that to my mum now and she said "True, but its also all the muscles getting fatigued at the end of the day and flopping forward". Cheers mum! x

 

[Hann12]

Ha ha Jules - your mum is such a charmer!!

 

[poppy13]

Hey ladies!

Sorry I've been missing for so long. I read everyday on my phone but only tend to post when I'm on my laptop.

It's great to see that other's are sewing too. I've been doing a bit and some knitting but it's ground to a halt while work is manic on the run up to finishing for maternity leave.

I hit 33 weeks last Tuesday and am really starting to feel it. I'm so tired so easily and after 3 days at work I'm ready for the weekend so the last 2 each week are a hard slog. But we're doing the nursery most weekends now which is really exciting - our little boy is so close!!

Is anyone else struggling to sleep well?

My bump is getting huge now, I feel like a proper whale

Who is nearing their maternity leave? I'm counting how many work get ups...as of today it's 10 more get ups! It's like being a child again and waiting for Father Christmas Although the best present is going to be delivered.


It's so lovely that we've all come this far together and will be welcoming our little bundles into the world together.

xx

Lady H: Have you considered bed rest? Have a bump buddy on another thread whose baby was nearing <10% and she went on bed rest for two weeks and baby bumped up quite a bit! Maybe no exercise for two weeks might help too? I am quite jealous of your lovely bump, you make pregnancy look so pretty. I'm more of a Kim Kardashian pregnant: really huge everywhere. LOL!

poppy: Tomorrow is my last day then I'm off! Can't wait, I'm just at 32 weeks and starting to feel it more every day. Also have so much sewing to get done, I'll be glad to be free of work and have plenty of time to finish all my projects!

 

[julesjules100]

Ha ha Jules - your mum is such a charmer!!

Ha ha! Yes, she was on a roll yesterday Hann! x

 

[Hann12]

Morning all!
Poppy - nice to have you back, glad you are almost done with work! I'm not working but I gave up at 32 weeks last time

I was up half the night with my stupid whooping cough arm killing me! I actually can't believe how much it ached! My whole shoulder blade was sore and it felt awful. I took paracetamol in the end which I almost never do. So ridiculous when its just an injection!!

 

[kezziek]

Lovely bump jules I am envious it's so neat!

Hann I'm feeling you on the jab pain, was horrible the first night. Last night wasn't so bad but I was zonked out more as I had to take an anti-sickness. It just feels brusied today so not as bad.
