...and i still haven't gotten BH. my mom said she didn't either, so i'm not terribly worried, but i'm kinda jealous of you ladies! :)
 
I don't get many BH and this is my second so don't worry! They are more of an inconvenience when I do get them.

RLT - I know they say you can use it from around 32 weeks but I'd wind it in a bit if you are getting more BH. Don't take the tablets before week 37 as they are stronger. Also don't do evening primrose oil until week 37+

Just spoke to my mum about how my bumps not got much bigger and she thoughtfully told me I could still be brewing a 9 pound baby. Wow mum what a way to reassure me!! My mum has been going on about this baby being big for ages and ages even though I'm no bigger than with DD.
 
ok, maybe this is just me and my hyperactive baby, but it seems like he kicks 24/7 now! he is always rolling, moving, kicking or hiccuping now. when does this kid sleep?

also, some of his kicks are starting to get painful! i'm taking this as a good sign that he's growing big and strong, but man!
 
Lol jtink they don't sleep for long when they arrive either! They tend to sleep for short bursts but frequently. Mine moves a lot, if I wake at night I have little chance if getting back to sleep as it just jumps around! I'd love to say its different when they are born but it wasn't for me! Although admittedly some babies are more chilled than others, mine was never chilled out!!
 
Hey Ladies.... Sorry it's been so long since I've been on. Everything has just been completely insane.

Hope everyone is doing well.

AFM.... I'm ready for this pregnancy to just be over. I know it will all be worth it the second I have Mason in my arms, but I'm exhausted, braxton hicks are killing me & Mason never stops shoving his butt out & kicking the crap out of me.

He also likes to push down on my sciatic nerves making both my legs go numb.... ugh
 
My doc said no rlt until 36 weeks as it really will bring on on contractions in a very small percent of women. So she said to wait just in case.
Really sucks about the return of your mil Hann. Maybe you can just use sickness as your excuse and sleep the visit away? I did that for most of my mil last visit, even though I did not leave unscathed. :(
Welcome back maybe! How's things going at work? Any better?
Jt- I only get bh if I really physically over exert myself and don't drink enough water.
 
Ahh maybesoon not too long now, I know how you feel though and i can't quite believe there are still a good 6 weeks or so left for me probrably. The only thing keeping me going is the fact that I am not organised or ready for the baby yet, I still have so much to do. I'm thinking that will make the time go fast.

Lovely bumps foxy, lpjkp and ttcbean! Gorgeous perfect looking things, I love other ladies bumps :)
Foxy that watermelon baby is sooooo cool. If ever I go to a babyshower over here I'm going to have to attempt one!x

I was having the odd cup of rlt the last couple of weeks as i like the taste but they were giving me painful braxton hicks so I've just started with just one tablet a day as apparently the tea is a lot more potent. Seems to be ok so far and I will gradually increase towards delivery.

Saw midwife today and I was measuring 35 weeks. I am anaemic and have to start taking iron tablets (yuck!!) which explains the breathlessness and exhaustion. I said I was concerned that bump was big but she said baby didn't feel massive and it was down to it being my third baby. She said my ligaments and muscles are crapped basically and so baby is able to flop all the way forward and make me look huge and again highlighted that i'm quite short so that did encourage me a little that perhaps this baby won't be 10 lbs! Anything under 9lbs and I will be happy, I know I can do 9 lbs but frightened of much more as i'm only little :-/

Hann i think it's a mum thing always going on about the size of your bump and having a big baby, my MIL exclaims how huge I am each time she sees me and how big babes is gonna be...I just want to say 'well what do you expect me to do about it!' lol I dunno, everyones got an opinion but MY opinion is there is a very low chance your baby will be any more than 1-2 lb heavier than your first. You have a lovely small neat bump and i don't know anyone whose second babies have weighed much more than their first. They are either much smaller if the first one was exceptionally large, about the same or up to a 1lb bigger (normally when it's been a boy rather than a girl). X

Yay it's my last day at work tommorow before maternity leave starts!!!! Phew! I can get back on to being a full time Mummy to my boys and start to organise baby stuff.
 
Congrats on our last day Kezz! I'm so excited for you!
 
Ok I'm being very brave and going to show you all my belly and stretch marks. You've all got such beautiful bumps - mines awful but my beautiful girl is in there so I love it in its own way.

33 weeks:

And here it is straight on - see how scarred my old belt button piercing has gone - weird right?!

Aw, you have a lovely baby bump!! It's so defined, I love it. :)
 
LOVELY bump Cupcake! I just love looking at belly pics :)

and your belly clicked too!! Isn't it just the oddest? I was just coming on here to say it happened really loud just now and DH heard it!
 
Great bump cupcake! The stretch marks will fade too :)

Better sleep my end last night, managed to get 6 hours straight which is pretty unheard of for me so I feel okay. Having my hair done today which I always find annoying as it takes forever as I get highlights but only have to do it twice a year so just have to put up with it! Then have my 3rd NCT class tonight, this one is the BF session. I'm a big believer in BF so will be good to see what they say and advice for a second timer.
Currently snuggled up in bed with DD while she watches waybuloo, it's lovely! :)
 
Glad you slept better Hann. I did too thankfully - went to sleep at 11 and didn't wake until 5 for a wee. Then I managed to get back to sleep until almost 7 so much much better than the night before. :)
 
She's still snotty (lovely!) but she's pretty happy with it so hopefully it was a passing cold!!

Cupcake - that's not too bad for a sleep - we take what we can get lol!
 
I was up at least 6 times between 11 and 7 and had really odd dreams about DH and my family. Ugh. Guess I'm just prepping for baby....
