PAL March 2012- 5 Beautiful Girls and 5 Adorable Boys!!

[Cornish]

Woo hoo for leaky boobs and a scan! It is a great feeling to know you can do these things.x

 

[firsttimer1]

ladies, forgot to say - MW measured my fundal today and its now 34 @31weeks........so now only 3 ahead.

at 27weeks she measured it to be 33....

further evidance that it doesnt make sense

 

[addy1]

Leaky boobs already!! Wow, I didn't have a drop until my dd was almost 5 days old!! (I'm wondering if the c-section and her being 2 weeks early had something to do with it.) Good luck with your scan Lou!

Glad your measurement was a better FT!!! Like you, I don't think it really means anything!! I'm sure your little one is right on track!!

Cornish, I can't believe you will be full term in 4 weeks!!

I'm so glad it is Friday! I'm so tired and can't wait for the next 5 weeks to go by, so I can be done work!!

 

[Cornish]

FT-are they not concerned at lack of growth in those weeks or do they say all is levelling out?
Addy, my BBs have been leaky for weeks, mainly in the shower but also just when they feel like it! Not enough to wear pads but then my bra is padded as if my nipples get cold I'd happily kill! That pain is not nice!

Full term in 23 days! Ahhhhhhh!!!

Ordered my homeopathic childbirth kit-anyone else use homeopathy?
Xxx

 

[firsttimer1]

Cornish - nope she didnt mention lack of growth at all she just said ''see? i told you - fundal is very inaccurate. Baby probably had a growth spurt that week or has changed position...''

infact - i hadnt thought about lack of growth until you mentioned it

 

[timsogirl]

happy Saturday ladies!!! the time is drawing near

 

[Cornish]

Oh sorry FT! It's one thing I've been worried about as they keep saying about baby levelling out growth but I just think surely that means he isn't growing?!? I 'think' I'm over thinking it!

This fundal measurement is annoying it really messes with your head. Does anyone measure there own each week? Can't wait for scan to check on this man.

 

[Glowstar]

I've never measured mine. With DD1 I measured perfect and she was 6lb 5oz at 42 weeks which is classed as small with DD2 measured 3 weeks behind and was 7lb 6oz at 40 weeks so just goes to show you it's a load of crap

 

[Cornish]

Lou, I measure mine and it measures the same as the midwife in general. With ds1 I was always spot on and he was 7.11 at 39 weeks, so pretty average I think.
My main concern is that I'm measuring so big while head is engaged-surely that should mean I measure small! I reacon I have a long baby as his feet are always hooked under my right rib. Long not chunky please!!!

 

[suffolksarah]

Cornish, long not chunky sounds good!!

Well i am having a bump photo shoot this morning, found loads of cute pics online, so we are trying to copy them. thankfully belly is looking good, not to many stretchies as yet!

Is anyone else getting leg cramps? i woke up saturday morning at 6, and had such severe cramp in my right calf, never felt pain like it, it slowed off then came back for a second cramp. there was no was i could stretch against it like they say, i had to do my labour breathing to cope. the an hour late the same happened in my other leg??! i could hardley walk yesterday, and they totally ceased up during the night, so have a major waddle today, so painfull. I thought i was good with pain. but now am scared as if contractions hurt this much, i doubt i will cope!!

Hope every one is having a good weekend? 4 more weeks at work, Yipee!!! xx

 

[firsttimer1]

Cornish - dont worry hun, i just hadnt thought of it that way. But TBH i would put that out of ur head as the MW will say if there is cause for concern I think our LOs just went thru a growth spurt and as u say are now levelling out - OR the measuring of the fundal has been inaccurate as baby has moved about Ps. my baby is head down too

Lou - i tried measuring mine and i made it 32/33 - so did the mw. But ive not idea where the top of my pelvic bone is so im pretty sure my own measurements are inaccurate LOL

Sarah - enjoy your photo shoot today hun No leg cramps here accept the odd very mild one... but i HAVE suffered with pelvis / hip pain this week. Not nice x

 

[ttclou25]

So i had my scan and hes measuring spot on for my dates - and should be around 7lb 8 at birth. So this fundal measurement is poop!! I was secretly hoping they'd push me forward a week to my period dates, im so impatient!! Hes also breach.

Think ill still book in for one last private scan next month to double check as my friend had the exact same (measuring 5 weeks ahead, hosp saying everything is ok) she got a second opinion privately and had a 9lber at 37 weeks after being induced.

 

[firsttimer1]

Lou - congrats on a healthy scan and a perfect sized !

 

[Glowstar]

That's great news Lou must have been because he's lying breech now you need to walk around the house on all fours and push your bum in the air to get him to turn

 

[ttclou25]

lol thanks for the tip glow - my next step was to start looking at how i can help turn a breech baby. DH will find that amusing!

 

[Cornish]

Hey ladies, sorry ive not been on, real lack of sleep going on at the mo!
Lou, great news that baby is measuring on track. As for how to turn, I heard all fours was the way! Scrubbing the kitchen floor was suggested by my yoga lady.

FT im hoping its a growth spurt and that when I go next week he will be back on track, dont want anything messing up my birthing centre as natural as poss birth!

34 weeks today for me, only 3 left until full term - crazy!

 

[ttclou25]

i know the feeling getting no sleep - its so frustrating as im so tired its not like i dont want to.

HAPPY 34 WEEKS im getting so excited, i wonder who will pop first

 

[Glowstar]

Ughhh....lack of sleep here too. I'm lucky if I'm getting 4 hours a night feel like baby is here already with this sleep deprivation

Happy 34 weeks

 

[ttclou25]

Happy 30 weeks to you Glow!!!

Sleep is just so overated anyway
