Have any of you tried seeing a chiropractor to help with hip pain? It is sometimes covered by insurance here. I'm a little sore the day after, but it helps overall A LOT.

Maryanne, I'm so happy to hear his movements are getting stronger!

 

[LynAnne]

Hmmohrma, I haven't but I've had minor hip issues for years now. If it ever hung around for more than 24 hours then I probably would! Hip and back issues sort of run in my family.

I had to take iron last time.
Tried two different ones
Spa tone and galfer.
Both made me sick.
Then tried ferritin c,
Its more easily absorbed and I was better with it.
Not sure if ye hve it
But ye prob hve similar if not that one.

Maryanne it could be ur liver too hon
If ur bile acids r high.
Id imagine feeling sluggish could be normal
But def get checked properly xx
I'm only guessing xxx

Hope ye both feel better soon xx

 

[lilesMom]

Hmmohmra I've been to chiropractor ages ago
Its same as physio or anything else for me.
It helps short term but I don't hve the dosh to do it long term.
My physio while preg is free
So that's why I do that.
If I had a choice of things.
Id prob go for osteopath .

My boobs hve started leaking a teeny bit.
Might hve to start wearing pads
But its only the tiniest bit
But its making my nipples sore from being a little damp.
Very early but I'm kinda glad cos I want bf to work this time.

I haven't. But I know mines spd combined with old dance injuries. It will stop after baba has arrived. It's just cause I carry so big so not much anyone can do. I'm measuring for 35 weeks already! I always get very big bumps though. If it was an issue outside pregnancy I'd Defo see one though. Wearing my bump support should help.

I keep forgetting about that lilesmom. They are due to be checked next Wednesday along with checking whether I need my blood thinners increased. Sure it won't hurt to leave it till then.

Leaky boobs suck. But it is good your milk supply is coming in. I'm still nursing dd. Must decide soon if I'm going to tandem nurse or wean her.

Lilesmom your scan really needs to hurry up. I'm getting impatient! Lol

 

[Lucasmum]

Ouchy to you ladies suffering, I have had a bit of pain and a lot of sciatica so nothing new with that one I didnt have any of these pains last time round apart from a kidney disease a lot of pain from that but I keep getting a pulling in my groin/flabby bits I know its normal and its very infrequent but my god it takes me of my feet, it usually happens if I get up to quick.

I'm with maryanne I'm sure your scan date its teasing us all we need to know if you are going to even out the numbers or will I be the odd one out

 

[lilesMom]

I wonder if blood thinners could make u tired?
Could they affect oxygen levels or am i talking baloney
I must google
Wed isn't far away, hope they can sort something for u xx

Think my back is spd along with old work injury
The support really helps a lot
But its too ruddy hot

 

[lilesMom]

Sorry had to go so posted
Ds was in the bath and he pooped again.
Everyday this week!!
Its gross.
He is constipated from new meds and finds the water helps I think.
Yucky though.

I know my scan feels light years away.
Hopefully it will come in quickly.
There was me thinking I might get it at 19 weeks appointment
Silly me
Over a month later!!
I'm not as caught in gender as I was at 16 weeks
I think I wanted it more then to make it more real.
It's plenty real now I can feel it
Def still want to know gender
Id love a girl.
But think its a boy
And id be delighted either way

 

[lilesMom]

A lot of people seem to be complaining of fatigue on blood thinners.
But its hard to know if they r tired cos of their original reason for going on them.
We r all complaining of tiredness.
Maybe its normal at thus stage.
I've forgotten from ds again xx
Hope u feel better soon though

 

[maryanne1987]

I never thought about that lilesmom. I might ask doc about it. I've never felt so exhausted before. Even getting to our local shop is a chore. I wasn't like this on dd or dd. Not until the last few weeks anyway. I just want my energy back.

I cannot wait to here what your having. Don't you dare go turning team yellow on us, the wait is killing me lol. I'm guessing girl for you, just have a feeling.

 

[lilesMom]

I'm def not going team yellow.
No way
It's only circumstances made me wait this long
When it comes nearer ill be antsy and excited again
Just half afraid bubs wont reveal all

Least u see ur Dr soon.
Its horrible feeling like that
When my thyroid goes low that's how I feel.
Feel like I'm moving through custard to do everything
Simple things feel like a huge effort
Hugs xxx

 

[lilesMom]

I think boy so its prob a girl.
I'm honestly wrong 99% of the time.
Only once ever hve I got any of my friends or family gender right

 

[maryanne1987]

It sucks but it's worth it for a healthy baby. Only 16 weeks left now. It's flying by.

I really can't wait to find out what your having now. It must be awful for you! I don't know how you have managed to be so patient!

Well my dd got hold of my phone and dropped it in the toilet. I literally cannot believe it. That will teach me to leave it unattended. Doh.

Hope everyone is good!

 

[LynAnne]

Thought I'd share my 24w0d bump today!

Some days I feel like it is getting so big (seriously it felt much, much bigger yesterday) but this picture totally puts it into perspective. In fact, I feel like it actually looks a little bit small here I can't win, can I? Doesn't matter, I know that I'm apparently measuring right on schedule and little monkey is growing well. Makes me wonder what I was thinking before I got pregnant and would complain about my "podge". It really wasn't that much or that bad. I don't know why I was moaning!

 

[maryanne1987]

Gorgeous bump Lynanne! Can clearly see its baby now

 

[lilesMom]

I'm actually ok about the wait now
I was way more anxious to know weeks ago
I think when I thought I might find out at 19 weeks
And then didnt.
I got less anxious to know
In case they cant get a good view at all during this preg
I've a weird feeling that might happen

Oh no on the phone.
Ds has dropped mine and cracked screen before
My bro lo dropped his phone in the loo too though.
He took it apart and put on a rad for two days
And it worked again.
Xx

Ur bump I lovely. Lynanne. Xx
Nice and neat.
Mine is lost in my tummy !!
I met someone in town today,
We were talking about our cars.
I said I was changing, mainly cos I'm expecting and need bigger
She was like oh I didn't notice.
I thought it was very obvious but no one has commented
Or asked due date yet
So must not be that obvious

 

[LynAnne]

lilesmom, I was worried that Monkey wouldn't show us either at our scan and he almost didn't! Kept his legs closed and then suddenly gave us a flash - definite boy. I don't know how you are managing to keep so chilled out about waiting for your scan and finding out gender!

 

[lilesMom]

Lets hope I get a flash too
Hee hee xx

 

[lilesMom]

I'm struggling to stay awake today
Mouse got up at 6.20
We had his neurologist at ten which is an hours drive away.
Just a check up.
But he slept on way home
So I missed my chance to catch up with a nap too
I don't usually nap with him
Unless he was up in middle of the night or up much earlier than normal.
He wants to be entertained now
But I'm out of energy.
Hurray for song cartoons on telly.
I'll hopefully get 20 mins on the couch out of it

 

[maryanne1987]

Perhaps people are just being polite lilesmom. She probably did notice but it's never nice to just come out with it I case your wrong and someone has just gained weight lol. On the plus side at least it means you look slim! Something I'm failing at. Fed up of the 'you must be due soon', 'are you sure it's not twins?' comments. Yes I'm bloody sure it's just one so bugger off!

I hope you manage to get a rest. Baby is snoozing so I can relax for 5.
