May Emeralds 2014! :)

Felix- labour ward said to take it easy and relax that they won't try and stop anything at this stage but it would be better to rest up and not to encourage it either.
If pain gets regular I'm to go in but it's not as bad today, so I'm thinking it was bad BH
What did your MW say?

She said to keep an eye on it, because I've had period pains along with this pain. She did seem a little concerned but not overly. I have to keep an eye out for swelling, headaches and pain in upper bump cos my blood pressure was a little high. Baby is still breech. Will probably need the ecv, I'm more than likely heading for a c-section.

Fleur, I don't think there is any way to be prepared to be a mama. They have this way off throwing all your preparation off balance. Sometimes I think it's best to be prepared to fly by the seat of your pants. Nothing I learned in the prenatal classes really made me ready to be a parent. Every day is a new learning experience, and you only have to survive 1 day at a time. You'll be great, because you have to be. And every day you get through, you feel a little more confident. Then something happens, a growth spurt, teething, sleep regressions, nursing strikes, illness... You start all over again. Some days are easy, some days you'll cry. But it's the best job I've ever had. Don't worry so much. You will figure it out add you. I promise!

We had our 3D/4D ultrasound that was donated to us today! Baby is doing well! Head down and still the same sex, lol. Baby was a little stubborn, she/he liked their hand very much! Was sucking on his/her fingers the entire time. The tech managed to get some good shots though.

Almost 34 weeks, and baby remains transverse... I'm fully prepared for a section. Not happy about it, but I've accepted that it's likely my fate. This baby does not want to move

33 my baby was breech and turned at 34+3

 

[Starry Night]

DH and I chose the "fly by the seat of our pants" parenting approach and it works fairly well. That does not mean we do not consult our son's doctor or info as we need it--we do! But we take issues as they come. Some basic prep is nice -- like how to change a diaper (if you don't already know) and some very basic BFing and FF'ing tips or how to give a squawking newborn a bath....more daunting than you'd expect! ha ha But it's been a blast figuring out who this little person is.

bumpin - I hope your LO turns soon. Has your doctor given you a timeline for the baby to turn? My OB won't even check my DD's position. She says it's not a concern until 37 weeks.

Shannon they pictures are lovely! Really can't wait to find out what your having !
My 3D pictures from my gender scan were at 16weeks and looked creepy !

 

[bumpin2012]

My Dr isn't concerned before 36 weeks. She did say that 2nd babies tend to flip later, but from what I've read, where baby is transverse, it's less likely than if baby were breech. So I will continue to wait, and hope, but really resigned to having a section. At least I may get to plan my baby's birth date...Lol

 

[Starry Night]

My baby also loves to go transverse but she does flip around too. She's breach right now...or was this evening....as I was feeling this lump in my ribs and kicks on my lower stomach. So uncomfy! This afternoon, while I was on the toilet, she went transverse and starting to jump and the ding-donging between her head and feet physically jolted me from side to side. I thought I was going to fall off the side of the toilet!

I do recall my SiL saying all 3 of her kids were transverse to the very end before finally flipping head down. Fingers crossed!

 

[Wannabe Mommy]

Went to cinema to see Captain America today, brilliant film but little miss apparently didn't like the noise so kicked me in the ribs and head butted my bladder non stop for 2.5 hours. Ow!!!

MIL has knitted a little hat and mitten set. Isn't is adorable

Happy Mothers day to you UK ladies!

 

[emalou90]

Thanks bumpin

 

[x__amour]

Happy Mother's Day to all of you lovely UK mamas.

I feel like garbage.

I've been having persistent pain underneath my right shoulder blade that has been getting increasingly worse. Now it's to the point of non-stop pain where Tylenol, heating pad and massages do nothing. I did some research and a lot of sites say it may be my gallbladder? I tried calling my new OB this morning and no one picked up so I called L&D and the triage nurse said that it's a pulled muscle and heat and Tylenol will take care of it and hung up but I am almost positive it's not a pulled muscle...

I just hurt all the time, I can't get comfortable at all.

 

[emalou90]

Hope you feel better soon amour.
Pulled muscles take forever to heal up and feel normal again! xx

 

[nic18]

Shannon that sounds terrible ! hope your feeling better soon!

 

[HannahGraceee]

Wow that sounds horrible! Hope you feel better sweet xxx

 

[Excalibur]

Amour - Lovely scan pics!

Hope you feel better soon, that sounds awful!

Happy Mother's Day to all us UK Mummy's

 

[Felix26]

Happy mothers day! Bump got me a card, and flowers. Lovely. Next mothers day we will have our babies.
I'm on alert for pre eclampsia symptoms now, was admitted to hospital last night, been seeing flashing lights, slight headaches etc. But home now and just to keep an eye. All checks were ok x

 

[Starry Night]

x_amour - sounds horrendous. I hope it is just a pulled muscle. Is your OB's office open on a Sunday? Maybe they'll be open tomorrow and be willing to check you out.

Wannabe - what a cute set of hat and gloves! I'm sure your LO will look adorable in them.

Feeling pretty miserable myself. I've had another growth spurt the past few days. The size difference is very, very noticeable and now my feet have completely swelled up. Last Sunday I would wear my slip-on dress shoes to church and this week they were quite tight. Walking for more than 2 or 3 minutes puts me into quite a bit of pain. And I'm only 31 weeks!! How much bigger will I get? I had a big cry this afternoon. The hormones are becoming oppressive too.

Happy Mothers' Day to all the UK ladies!

 

[bumpin2012]

We went to visit our friends today, who had their little girl last night. She's SOOOOO TINY! I can't believe that my 'baby' will be 2 in just 5 short weeks, or that he was EVER that tiny (even though he was actually smaller!) Its amazing how much these tiny humans change in such a short period of time

Mother's day is May 11 here, so I wonder if little miss will be making her entrance before, or after?

Amour, hope its just a strained ligament or something minor!

Felix, Also hoping things go well. Hopefully your peanut will agree to behave for a few more weeks yet!

Starrynight I feel like im already bigger than I was at 41 weeks with G, and its starting to freak me out how much more this bump/baby are going to grow! G was such a tiny peanut, that im now scared this one is going to be a BIG baby...
