Strangers always say "are you having a boy?". The other day a girl asked that and i said no she then said "a girl?" I said no she was so confused! I was thinking well what the fuck else would it be? The new thing random ppl ask is if in late hahahaha no 5 weeks away but thanks!

I've been toying with saying, "Actually, I'm not pregnant." But I figure that could be jinxy and mean, lol.

Mama and Cat: man that sucks that you are both in the hospital! Makes me feel like an asshole for complaining about my problems, especially after I read the posts over the weekend! I hope all goes well for you both, and Mama I will think positive thoughts for you and both your babies, and that your little girl is alright.

Want: you look wonderful! Love the dress, I don't wear cute things these days. Sometimes I find an excuse to wear some cute maternity top that I have but its few and far between. I need to figure out something to wear for my baby shower, although I doubt I will find anything cute, by the time I have the shower I will be down to like 5-7 weeks to go.

I have had a few people say some interesting things to me, I have gotten the comment about my face like you. I mentioned to a client at work that I was leaving and it was my last day because I was having a baby. And she's like oh congratulations, you have that pregnancy face, I wondered but didn't want to say anything. And here I am thinking I look fine, and now I am like why what the hell is wrong with my face!?!? Since I was at work I just smiled and nodded.

 

[whittnie117]

Just go with that you were glowing Nariah, lol. That's what I'd go with.

Hey ladies thanks for ur concern.. U ready for my list lol.. I hav had insane headache non stop for 3 weeks, flashy lights blurry vision and tunnel vision in and out i was then i passed out. Bp is fine pulse is high so im currently sat on a 24hr ecg checks th heart.. I had an mrv and they found something in my brain thats not a clot or a tumour they sent it off to the specialists at addenbrooks who dont no either but could be either that pressing on my brain or just pregnancy related. I was at home on codein and paracetamol and it didnt help and here they give me oramorph which does help a lot. Problem is they cant send me home with oramorph so i hav to choose wether to b in masses of pain orr stay here.. I also hav a very noisy household so thats not very practical.. Another problem i am facing is that both codein and morphine are opiets so my poor boy has about 96% chance of comin out and having withdrawal. Before they told me they would induce possibly at 37 weeks im begining to think that im going to beg them a bit earlier hes had one set of steroids so maybe they can giv me another sdet and his weight was measuring quite high at my 30 week scan so heres hoping x

Cat - omg cat, you're going through so much! they still don't know what it is that's in your brain that's causing you so much pain? I hope they find out soon. I wouldn't be comfortable knowing my baby receives these drugs as well but it seems your baby is a strong one and fighting along with you. Keeping you in my thoughts. I hope you have a positive outcome. Stay rested and just a few more weeks until pregnancy is over with, can't be forever. Hugs!

 

[whittnie117]

Cat, I hope they can find a solution quickly. It's odd they can't determine what is going on. Hopefully you can get some relief while there. You only have a few more weeks until 37 weeks, right?

 

[missjenn]

OMG Want....I can't believe those comments and that they came from women!!! Wow!!! Not cool!

I have also been told that I have gotten alot wider....but has gotten big....I look Huge...and yes....noone wants to hear that....pregnant or not!

Cat, I hope they figure out whats going on there!

Rockin, why did she change her mind? Kind of odd to commit and then bail. :s

Love the bump shots Alchemist and Want....

Want you are so petite! Super cute!

Alchemist, you kind of remind me of the girl from the 70's show....Mila Kunis.

Someone asked my mother at the baby shower if I had already had my baby and was just throwing a party to get more stuff. Apparently I didn't look big enough to be where I claimed to be in my pregnancy? I think it was suppose to be a joke but it came off badly.

I get told all the time I don't really look pregnant. Okay thanks so I just look fat. Awesome.

 

[luna_19]

wow cat I'm sorry you're having so many problems

I keep forgetting to post my Sunday pic! Here's 32 weeks


cowgirl it's really crazy how some people just don't think before they speak, where exactly did this woman think the baby was???

The only really dumb thing someone said at my shower was mil (of course ) asking if we are going to a concert of a band we really like which is about 2 weeks after my due date in front of everyone. I'm obviously not going to leave my newborn baby with someone so soon after birth not to mention what if I go late? need a c-section? plus I hardly think I would want to cram into an arena full of douchebags when I'm on very little sleep and probably still sore from giving birth! She is also the only person who asked me if I'm getting enough iron (back when we first announced so around 13 weeks). How is that a topic of conversation, are YOU getting enough iron? How about leaving that up to me and my doctor to worry about! Grr

 

[Nariah01]

Oh Cat, I hope you get some answers soon!

Luna you look amazing, I am kind of afraid to post a naked belly shot, mine has gotten some stretch marks, and I have them on my hips too.

Not to mention yours looks good, mind is like a bowling ball, its so round and kind of low. Or maybe its just me....

I guess the only way to find out is post a picture and see huh...maybe I will post one this weekend since I will be 30 weeks on Friday.

 

[berniegroves]

Cat - what a nightmare. I hope they figure it all out soon. It can't be a nice way to spend your pregnancy!

I always find it so hard to believe how rude some people can be! It's like when you get pregnant people are suddenly allowed to say whatever they want and don't have to bother engaging their brain before opening their mouths!!
I was asked if I was having twins the other day! Because apparently I am soooo huge it can't possibly be just one baby!!

Regarding rooms in hospitals - when I had DD I had a private room (with a bath - no toilet) for delivery. Then a couple of hours after delivery we were moved to a ward. The ward they put me on had 8 women and 8 babies on (with 1 toilet and 1 shower) it was insane!!!
I nagged and nagged them until they sent me home as there was no way I wanted to stay overnight on a ward with all those women/babies whilst DH went home!

Hope you ladies are all okay.
I'm 33 weeks now. I'm really emotional at the moment. I keep worrying about the impact the new baby will have on my DD and the relationship we have. Been very anxious this week about it and keep crying. Lol!

 

[The Alchemist]

Berniegroves - I've been thinking about the same thing! Like how the new baby will affect my dd too. I think my dd will be very jealous. Okay, so she's into snapping/unsnapping the stroller/carseat/highchair strap. I once put a teddy bear in The highchair like it's another baby and she pulled the teddy bear out with an attitude like "it's my chair, wth, mom!". I keep thinking about 2 under 2, the stress behind dealing with 2 very young ones. Who knows what kindababy this boy will be. Colicky? Wild little boy? I mean I dread it tbh....I pray things will be okay and hope for you too.

Missjenn - Mila Kunis? That's a first and only one I've heard anyone say. I didn't think I look like anyone lol.

 

[wantb502]

I love all these stories of people and their big mouths. It blows my mind.

Bernie: 8 moms and 8 babies?!? That's awful!

I had my 30 week appt today. HB 166 but the little bugger is transverse...she didn't seem overly concerned about it but seemed a little shocked when I told her he likes to hang out that way most of the time because of how far along I am. I measured 29 CM, so I guess that's okay and she reiterated that I passed my GTT with flying colors and was impressed by my body's insulin abilities

I still don't think I've gotten any BH. I asked her about the hiccups and she said it was totally fine. Keeping my fingers crossed everything continues in a positive note.

 

[missjenn]

Glad you had a good appointment! Noone has ever told me what position my baby is in so I have no clue and to be honest...I cant tell myself either.

 

[missjenn]

So ready for him...two possible due dates...october 16th and october 29th...please let it be the earliest!

 

[The Alchemist]

Ugh....I wish I was further ahead already. SOme of you are getting closer and closer. I have to count 10 or so more weeks. Hoping I don't go past due!!!! OH LORD! That would kill me inside if I go past due. Gotta think positive!

Want - I think my boy is transverse sometimes, going by two hard lumps one on each side of belly. During my ultrasound last week to check for placenta, the doctor said my boy was breech. I have always known he has been MOSTLY in that pos. I am keeping my fx that he will turn heads down because I don't think my OB will deliver a breech baby. Some do, some dont.

Missjenn - lovely as ever. As the weeks go by, you're looking more radiant. I don't have that pregnancy glow, but I did in the first trimester. Dunno what happened, my hormones are all weird this pregnancy lol. And 2 different edd and hell yea, i'd be rooting for the early one too!

 

[cat123456]

Luna- prob cus i not had meds this morning im bit confused u said u are going to th concert (yeeey) then your not (boo).. lol its been aages since i went to a concert..

Thank you for all your comments ladies and support it really is getting to me it was my birthday yesterday and tht was pretty terrible im 32+5 today so aages but theyr getting someone from th pain team to come and c wat they can do so that i can go home with something stronger x

 

[berniegroves]

Alchemist - I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is concerned about going from one to two children. I really pray that this boy is a good sleeper, as if you can get some sleep it makes everything easier. I just feel sad that me and DD only have a maximum of 9 weeks just the two of us during the days. I really need to find some way to spend one on one time with DD after the baby arrives.

Missjenn - you look fabulous!!! I don't know how you do it!

I pray all our babies will be head down by their due dates! My boy is still wriggling all over the place, I can't tell what position he is in. I really hope he ends up head down as I REALLY don't want a c-section!!

 

[whittnie117]

I'll respond to your posts tomorrow. I just came to post that I'm having that super weird bad back pain that I spoke about a couple weeks ago. The one that pain began in the lower uterus real bad shifted to my hip, ran over to my spine, up to my mid back and just gets worse and worse. I don't know what to do. I want to wake OH up, but he has work in 4 hours.
