Haha ttc! Me too on the memory issue. Unfortunately DH tries to use it as an excuse for when he forgets to tell me things - "I told you that but you can't remember!" Or if I say I told him something he says I never did and I'm losing my mind. UGh!!!!

Exciting about your shower!!! Mine is this weekend too :)
 
I'm so sorry jt! I hope the stuff they gave you works!
We're having a little shower ths weekend too. It's the last one, then I'm finally allowed to resume my shopping! Can't wait!

just got home....it's definitely PUPPS :(

they gave me a steroid cream to put on it, and some hypoallergenic soap to use in the shower, but there's not much to be done, except to have the baby. agh! hopefully the cream soothes it a little. it's going to be a really long 4 weeks...

Oh dear, so sorry. Lets hope the steroid cream works though to make it at least bearable :hugs: x
 
Sass - this one is my first shower! I feel like I'm so late! I'm screwed if this baby decides to show up early!!! I can't wait to finish up shopping but I've been informed that work is having a shower for me & 2 other preggos on April 18th... Should probably wait til after that...

On another note its 2:40 am & I'm wide awake bc DH just got home from work 30 mins ago ugh...
 
My shower is this sunday than I can finish up my shopping woo!!
 
Enjoy the showers!

Jtink - so sorry you do have it, glad they have you something - has it helped?

Actually had a good nights sleep for once but woke up and the baby feels unbelievably high, I actually feel like it might have moved to breech which is annoying if it has, need up wait for the hiccups so I can find out but I feel really sick. Not a good start to the day :(
 
That's tough Bella! Showers are great, but you never really know what you're gonna get. This is my third. Shower one was almost all stuff we needed, shower 2 was only 2 things we needed out of loads of gifts, all of which were clothes size 0-3 months. I have no idea what to expect from this one, so I'm hoping just for a good party and not expecting any stuff we need. I don't know ow you hold jt so long though. I have such an urge to get all the shopping done - its terrible!
Do some inversions Hann! You can get that baby back upside down in no time. :)
 
i'm dying to keep shopping.

but the girls at my work are having a baby shower for me on thursday, and then the women at my husband's job are having a surprise shower for him in late april. (i think i'm going to start shopping after thursday though!!)

we've got almost everything now...i think doctor may induce early at 38 or 39 weeks because of the pupps and baby's size. i wouldn't mind that.

trying not to sound like a big complainer, but this PUPPS is kicking my butt :(
 
Has the cream not helped jtink?

Yes not worried about the position, spent the morning on my hands and knees cleaning, it's still breech but I felt it move this morning into breech and there is obviously room as if wasn't even uncomfortable feeling so I think it will just move back when it's ready!
 
You are not a complainer! I read up on it and it sounds terrible! You are a soldier.
I've kept the tags on all the 3-6 and 6-9 stuff and more than half of my 0-3 stuff in case we don't wind up needing it.
And how wonderful that you have a nice doc that will let you go early. :)
 
they gave me a prescription steroid cream, and my best friend (who also had it) recommended a cream called Sarna that's helped too (it has menthol in it, and is soothing). the doctor was very apologetic, saying that the cream will help ease it, but nothing will really truly help except delivering.

unfortunately, nothing is helping the itch at night, and so i sleep maybe 30 minutes every night with a wet cold towel on my belly. the rash makes my belly and legs very very hot to the touch. i doze off all night, then am woken up by itching. the rash has moved to my thighs and feet this morning :(
 
Aww jtink, that sounds bloody awful!! Hope you're coping ok, and getting baby out early sounds like an absolute god send!!

Hann, are you sure baby is breech? I always wonder where baby is, but I feel his hiccups right in my hoo haa, so I always assume he's head down?

I'm having an awful day myself today...my heartburn/acid reflux has really stepped up a notch and is incredibly painful...I mean, 24 hours a day...not even drinking prescription Gaviscon/eating rennie/tums is taking the edge off...I was awake near on every hour last night with it, and even now it's not easing! Doctors are reluctant to give me anything but have agreed to prescribe me ranitidine, so let's hope that helps a little!x
 
Jtink that sounds awful, I'm so so sorry for you! I'm not normally one for people having babies early but I think this justifies it if they'll do it!

LP - hope the meds help, I'm lucky as never been a big sufferer of heartburn in pregnancy. They say it means you'll have a baby with lots of hair. DD was bald so it was true for us!
Yep baby is def breech, hiccups are up by my ribs but I'm sure it will move again, only 35 weeks so time left! DD was transverse until 36/37 weeks and she turned so I'm sure this one will
 
Jtink, sounds really awful especially when its affecting your sleep... I'm with Hann, not normally supportive of bringing babies early unless there's good physical reason to do so. Let's hope it settles down even a little but good to know the doctor is onboard to go a bit earlier if required.

Sass, I can easily arrange another pair of newborn lime green cycling shorts for you :haha:

Hann, still lots of time to twist around. Daily floor scrubbing for you!

x
 
i would really prefer not to deliver early, but i'm so miserable.
my last day of work is on april 19th, so only a 2 more weeks of work. maybe if i'm at home for the last few weeks of pregnancy i can make it through and go into labor on my own. that's what i'm hoping for.

lpjkp, i have GERD (from my crohn's) and i've taken ranitidine during pregnancy when needed, and it really does help. people think, "oh, it's just a little heartburn," but it can be really painful, like an elephant is sitting on your chest and you can't breathe properly. i had a near panic attack the first time i had really bad heartburn. really hope the ranitidine helps you.

hann, i'm sure baby will turn around by delivery. can't believe your baby has room to turn around. i am amazed that my kid even fits in my belly still - he feels HUGE. how would he ever turn around, lol!! :)
 
This pregnancy has been terrible compared to my son I have had wicked heartburn had a gallbladder attack which was worse than labor pains no joke worst pain I have ever felt than I got the diabetes so now i take insulin just keeps getting better lol my sciatic pain is so bad my left leg goes numb all the time. I have 4 more weeks give or take a few days till my c section and now im sick so i'm so over being pregnant haha.
 
I know I'm a bit surprised it still has room to turn but apparently it does. Possibly another small baby like DD or maybe I've just got very little muscles holding it in place lol! I actually just read that it might be struggling for room because I hold my DD a lot on my hip which twists the pelvic area and makes it small and pushes it upwards. Not much I can do about that but either way I'm sure it will get down for delivery.

Jtink - hopefully work will distract you from the itching then you can see in a couple of weeks how you feel about going early.

Pink - sounds like you need the next 4 weeks to fly by too. It really will though, you've done most of the waiting now and it's good you have a set date to work to.

We really don't have long now, very exciting!
 
Yes I find out the actual date on the 16th talk about last minute haha than I can really start freaking out lol
 
Can't believe it but the baby just turned and is head down again lol! Barely even felt it move, but the hiccups are very very low now!
