You went out????? How very dare you have a social life.

I stayed in and did a crossword.

Lol

 

[you&me]

Hiya, hope everyone is feeling okay?

Does anyone find they are suffering at night with their hips?...mine seem to ache and then go numb after about 20 minutes in bed, so I turn to the other side and the process starts again...and when I get up in the morning, they click for a bit, and then they are fine...until I lay down again!! Is this just everything loosening up?

 

[ShanandBoc]

You&me i have the same thing in my hips and upper legs. Its awful.

I dont get clicking in my hips when i get up tho, but my lower back

 

[you&me]

It sounds normal then?...I think it is everything loosening up getting ready...that is what my DH keeps telling me when I am walking around in the morning like an old woman holding my hips

 

[ShanandBoc]

Yeh i would say so, prob fluid retention and the extra weight your carrying around.

Pregnancy is rough on your body hey!!

Just make sure you take it easy and get up carefully. Also be careful bending down, make sure u bend with your knees, not from your lower back xo

 

[you&me]

OMG OMG!!! Hubby and I just went upstairs and packed mine and babies hospital bags!!

I am a bit emotional now, part of me wants to cry ...and another part wants to dance with joy as I never got the chance to pack my own bags with Reagan...so another new first for me!!

 

[ShanandBoc]

Oh thats right you only made it to 29+4 weeks last time is that correct?

Yep yep...went into hospital at 29+3 on the christmas eve, with just an instinct something wasn't 'right'...they delivered her christmas morning.

So from now on I am in unknown territory, I have never been this pregnant

 

[ShanandBoc]

Thank you!!!

She was born christmas day weighing 2lbs 5ozs, and came home on valentine's day, weighing 4lbs 10ozs...so she spent about 7ish weeks in hospital.

 

[ShanandBoc]

That must have been so hard for you. (hugs)

Lets hope you reach at least 37 weeks this time round. Looking good so far!!! Did the doctors say you were more likely to go early with this one as well?

It is a hard journey, but so worth it!!

I had a specialist uterine doppler scan just before 24 weeks, and am on aspirin and calcium, and the consultant seems very hopeful I will escape it this time around...so fingers crossed.

I just keep reminding myself, that every day from now on this little girl keeps cooking is simply a bonus!!

I saw my tummy move first time yesterday. Big giant lump came out and went back in. My husband came over and waited and felt it for his second time and was very happy because it was much stronger then the first time.

lol yeah but by 10.30pm I was starting to wish I hadn't bothered! I was so tired lol. Managed to drag the OH away about 1.30am in the end and I had to drive the hour long journey home with him steaming drunk and me tired and fed up lol.

 

[anna matronic]

Bloody hell!! Don't think I could manage that I am feeling shite as at the moment. Just so heavy and fat, I have eaten shit lately and now I have put on a ton of weight. I was doing so well too

I went to my nieces 4th bday party today, was exhausting. She is a spoilt little thing, love her

 

[hinkybinky]

Had our first NCT antenatal class today from 11am - 5pm. Too long really, ended up feeling absolutely overwhelmed and exhausted. Came home and wrote down EVERYTHING as I am sure in 10 weeks time I will not remember any of it! I was the least pregnant there; everyone else was at least 35 weeks, so felt a bit of a fraud :-/

We did lots of breathing, birthing ball and using a rebozo (some kind of Mexican shawl thing) to help with contractions. As I have been doing tons of reading and comnig on here every day, I felt like I didn't learn that much new info, but it was good to get things confirmed and for DH to get all the information. Bless him, he said he's much more worried now

The one thing I'm concerned about at this stage is that according to my last midwife appointment the baby is lying transverse. Midwife said there is no point worrying until 36 weeks, but the reading I've been doing suggests it could be too late by then as the womb can get shaped to the transverse baby and so it doesn't turn.

Although I'm quite prepared to have a C-section if it's the best thing for the baby, it does mean the whole midwife-led birthing centre and all the labour positions etc are a complete waste of time. While I know there's no point worrying I can't help thinking I will kick myself if I don't try everything going to get the baby to turn. But at the same time don't want to get obsessed and disappointed. On top of that, I have an anterior placenta and can't tell where the baby is lying (for all I know it could have turned already). So this is the one thing that's proving a bit rubbish at the moment

Hope everyone else is ok and had a happy and relaxing weekend x

Hiya, also have a baby who is lying transverse and also have an anterior placenta. I see my MW every two weeks and each week I hope Herbert has moved, but no, he/she is quite happy lying sideways.

Like you, if a CS is needed, then so be it but we are booked onto a Hypnobirthing course in 2 weeks time which is costing us £200 and that would be such a waste of money, but what do you do as you know it would be sods law that baby will turn at the last minute if we cancelled it, and then I would be in trouble! I bought a birthing ball today so hopefully that might do something to help.

Today I have been spending in babies r Us (I blame Anna as all that talk of shopping the other day ) and then we met friends at the pub for lunch/drinks. Shattered now and in bed nosing around on here and drinking a large mug of hot chocolate!

 

[anna matronic]

Don't blame me

HB - mine has been transverse too since 21 wk scan, then last weeks scan showed he was breech, then midwife check him again on discharge and he was transverse again

Apparently they still have plenty of room to move about and spin round at the mo, although not for too much longer only another week or 2, but no-one has mentioned his position being of any concern at the moment as I believe most babies do turn by 36 weeks. The are things you can do though, not sure what, but I am sure it wouldn;t hurt to give them a go.

As for not knowing what position baby is in, don;t worry neither can I and my placenta is posteria. I wouldn;t know his back from his bum from his head!! I don't push hard enough obviously, but at 28/29 weeks the midwives in hospital couldn't always be sure where he was!!

I will be coming back to Hastings soon for a bit to collect some more things, pop in to work etc etc, so if you fancy a cuppa or a soft drink I'll txt you Aqua is a no go for cos of the infection risk

Congrats on your milestone Love! I am still on aspirin too, but I honestly don't know why! My Dr told me to continue taking it. He put me on it since I had 2 of my 3 MC back to back in Nov and Dec last year.

I saw my tummy move first time yesterday. Big giant lump came out and went back in. My husband came over and waited and felt it for his second time and was very happy because it was much stronger then the first time.

Awe! I LOVE when Mark & Jace can both feel Bryelle Kicking! Their faces just light up!

Ah man! LOL I HATE when I am tired and have to DRAG Mark away when we are at a friend's house! LOL We are normally ALWAYS the last to leave and I just want to be in bed already! LOL

Today I have been spending in babies r Us (I blame Anna as all that talk of shopping the other day ) and then we met friends at the pub for lunch/drinks. Shattered now and in bed nosing around on here and drinking a large mug of hot chocolate!

I've been drink Hot Chocolate like crazy myself here lately! I got me a mug full right now! Mainly because I have a HORRIBLE Head Cold and I am trying to force as many hot fluids as I can! Hot Lemonade, Chocolate and tea!!! I have Sudafed but that crap does NOTHING! Thank Goodness I got to the doctor tomorrow. Going for my 1 Hour GTT, and hoping to get some help with this cold too.

 

[pichi]

Good luck on your GTT

So much for a relaxing weekend- I worked all of it! Off shopping in ikea next sunday though and going to see a friend of mine I've not seen in a long while she says she's got a nappy cake made for me

I made one for her when her son was born
