Mine too, I've noticed it's harder to be up and walking around all day. Then there's the random foot/calf cramps. Guess we're well on our way to the third tri.
Haha hi hon good to see u back
Wow @brittany12 that is a brill scanlook at its little face
Are you swayed in any way? (Gender wise)
Having a really hard time lately so really think I might treat myself to a 4d scan as long they don't tell the sex..
I will admit me included it has gotten quiet on this post.. think everyone is the same nothing much going on..
So roll call... is the front page up to date with your correct info?
Also conversation starter what are you dying to eat/drink again that you couldn't eat or drink during pregnancy??
I Just can't wait to be able to eat anything.. I'm so strict to my diet with the diabetes and severe acid reflux so I litterally can't wait to eat anything and not worry it will spike my bloods or cause me unimaginable pain
I'm taking pate and crackers to eat once I've delivered
I've got my gtt tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I will be ok as I test my sugars at home regularly and I've got another consultant/growth scan on Thursday. Also got ks1 and ks2 sports days Thursday and Friday morning so busy week this week!
Shorty, I'm in the same boat. GD is a pain and this Metal(??) chemical(??) "I dont know what it is" after taste in my mouth every time I stuff my face is awful as well. I can't wait to be able to eat and not worry. Dont worry about the due date in front page, I'll let you know when I deliver in Oct. haha-but I know for sure its a boy, I think.....
Jessie, I'm sorry you're going through so much in your relationship I can't imagine going through that with all these pregnancy hormones just raging to attack. I tell myself everyday, its the hormones so I can't imagine how you're dealing with this.
When you're in love, you're in love! Can't no one, anyone tell you otherwise. I must say, just make sure you are safe and the baby is safe. Know that you and your baby matters more than anything in this world. No one is worth your pain and suffering. "If its toxic get rid of it and move away from it." I mean that's basic belief in every situation.
I'm sure you guys are wonderful together and I hope that you two can find it in yourselves to forgive one another and move on from this thing we call "the past." It really shouldn't matter who and when you slept with in the past if you're trying to commit to a new relationship ( new beginnings.) I mean I hope going into this for the 3rd or 7th or 100th time I would hope that you two sat down and worked out your feelings and concerns before committing again. I always tell my husband, if you're gonna ask me a thing or two about my past know it in you heart that you can "TAKE" whatever I respond responsibly if you know you can not, please dont ask me and I plead the 5th.
So to answer your question after reading what you've been going through. I've always felt that I shouldn't have to "prove" to anyone that i'm worthy of their time or love. It is way too time and energy consuming. I would tell him every thing he wants to know because it is his baby. Let him know what he wants to know. Again, this is me.... I'd let him go, if he chooses to walk away after knowing the truth. Life is too short for him to be contemplating if Im worth it. You'll know if he's a good person or not once your baby is here. If he turns out to be the best then let him be "the one that got away," at least he's the exact example you want your child to be. If he should turn out to be the worst of the worst then at least you got rid of him,
Oh I would have snapped at my husband too if he had said that to me haha. I actually tend to get upset when I see even other women talking about how their labour and delivery went so well because they just allowed their bodies to do what they were created for. I laboured with zero drugs, no gas and air, nothing. I led the majority of my labour and was as close to giving birth at home as possible - just happened to be in the hospital in case of an emergency. Still tore horrendously and have ongoing problems. So obviously not all women’s bodies are the same, and some struggle to birth children even though that’s ‘what all us women were designed to do’
Your birth with your son sounds so scary. For sure be vocal about what you want this time and get that epidural! Everyone has the right to deliver the way they want to. I’m glad that old doctor is gone, it feels like they don’t realize they are affecting people’s lives with their decisions. This doc I saw I looked up in a ratemydoctor type site and saw one woman had him and he ignored her concerns of PPROM at 19 weeks, saying it was just urine. So she went to the ER herself and they confirmed her waters were leaking - that same doctor told her to just induce labour and terminate the pregnancy. He said there was no way her son would survive and he wouldn’t support her if she wanted to try and keep him in there. She found a different doc and carried until 30 weeks then had a healthy baby. So obviously this doctor isn’t the greatest.
Anyhow yes I think 38 or 39 weeks is normal, here they like to wait until 39 weeks or more. I would like it to be closer to 38 weeks as I don’t want to go into labour and tear. I just have to find a doc who will listen. DH said he would go with me this time to help advocate for me, thankfully he’s so supportive and has been there with me through this whole experience w the tearing etc. He knows how bad it was and he supports me in getting a section so I’m glad I have someone on my side! Midwives are also supportive so just need a doctor now haha.
