[atx614]

Congrats @Bittersweet! So glad you got moved to permanent!

@Neversayno And beautiful scan pics. So glad they were able to get everything they needed and all is perfect. I can’t wait for the weekend either! My oldest is going to have a sleepover at my mom’s so it will be pretty quiet for a night. Hopefully will sleep well for once. My hips have been bothering me AND my husband snores so much it is hard to fall back asleep once I get up to pee lol

 

[Bittersweet]

Thank you! It was such a hard interview so I’m totally exhausted today haha

 

[Suggerhoney]

Congratulations @Bittersweet with ure job that's amazing. Very well done you.

@atx614
Gosh my dh snores too sooooo loudly. It drives me nuts lol.
Sorry ure hips have been sore.
I had SPD and PGP in my last 3 pregnancies.
With ds and dd it was terrible and I was given crutches.

With Tommy (our youngest) I started getting it around 17ish weeks and it got quite sore but never as bad as it was with the other two.
I remember getting quite bad tho around 27 weeks and I had sciatica too and cudnt put my foot to the floor.
Normally it gets real bad in 3rd tri but it wasn't too bad, not sure if it was because it was summer and warm.

With our dd and eldest ds they were both winter babies, Feb and January. My SPD was horrific with them but it cud of been the cold weather making it worse.

It was definitely much more manageable with Tommy and he was due October 14th but I was induced September 22nd and gave birth on the 23rd September.

That's why I'm really happy this one will be a September baby. September is such a lush time to have a baby.
It's not too hot and it's not freezing cold.

I won't know my induction date with this one untill 35, 36 weeks, but all I know is it will be around 37 weeks and that works out to be September 4th.

Being heavily pregnant when it's boiling hot isn't fun but Normally mid August is when the nights start getting a bit colder and it's not as hot.
So I'm hoping it will be manageable and comfortable toward the end of my pregnancy.

My eldest was a August baby. She was due 24th but came on the 19th.
The year I had her was so so hot and I really struggled.
I had to wet towles with cold water and drape it over me at night to try and keep cool. It was just horrible.
When she was born she just wore vests because it was so hot.

I know it will probably be roasting here in June and definitely July (it's always baking in july) but I'm hoping by August it won't be too hot.

Trying to stay cool when heavily pregnant is near on impossible.

But I do like being due in September and being able to wear nice summer dresses and showing off the bump, where as in winter u have to be all covered up because its too cold.

Still waiting for summer to start here.
I think we're having the April showers now lol

@Bittersweet congratulations on the job!

@Neversayno I feel you about the weekend it’s been a tough one at work!

@atx614 sorry you are having trouble with your hips. Could you invest in a birthing ball I got one for my back and can feel the difference after just a few days. Also sleeping on your side with a pillow between your legs.

@Suggerhoney DD2 was born August 27th and I remember that year it was boiling right up until and after her due date. We were at a bbq the evening before I went into labour, and the days before that we’d been at the local park which has a water splash zone area. She wasn’t actually due until the 6th September. I’d prefer this one to be a September baby but 99% sure I’ll end up with an August baby again.

 

[MadamRose]

My ticker say 99 days! Double digits

 

[Bittersweet]

Yay madam rose I feel your pregnancy is zooming past

 

[MadamRose]

Yay madam rose I feel your pregnancy is zooming past

It feels really weird right now - it feels like it’s dragging and flying all at the same time. Like I can’t believe it’s another 2 weeks til half term still but 99 days left seems like nothing, plus there is a chance I will go before that. With DD2 I never made it to single digits as she came 10 days early

 

[Suggerhoney]

Yay for double figures hon. Ure pregnancy is flying.

I'm 21 weeks today. 3 more weeks untill V-Day.

[Suggerhoney]

Thanks sweety i can't wait. I'm gonna be jumping around that day hehe.

26 week bump! Time seems to be going fast and slow all at the same time! It feels like the last few weeks at school etc have taken ages but that it feels like just yesterday I got my BFP

Ure carrying so low hon. Can't believe ure 26 weeks that has flown by so fast.

I feel this time I'm carrying High.
It seems the bigger I'm getting the more higher it is.
With Tommy our youngest I Carried him very low.

I do have a photo of me at almost 25 weeks with Tommy.
Here it is


And this is my bump today at 21+1 weeks and I really do think it's alot higher this time.


It's funny how we can carry different in different pregnancies.

I think as I get bigger and bigger it will continue to get higher and then outwards.

I did carry our eldest son high like this and he was 7lb 11oz at 40 weeks.

Tommy was 7lb 6oz at 37+3 weeks.
I had bad hips at this stage with Tommy but so far with this one I feel great.

His movements are starting to get a bit stronger now and I notice he is active late at night and early in the morning.

Weather still rubbish here. I'm really looking forward to it being warmer and being able to wear my new maternity shorts and dresses and summer tops.
I hope it don't get too hot tho because it's never fun to be heavily pregnant in 30+ c heat.

 

[Bittersweet]

Yeah we still have pretty dull weather. I’ve cleaned my internal doors today so that was fun hahab! I need to clean the oven I just can’t find the energy yet!

Now they've changed the guidance for us preggos*, is anyone planning on getting the vaccine before delivery? I'm really keen to get mine done ASAP but the midwife said unless I'm high risk, better to wait. But seems such a long, long time away.

That said, I feel like I'd be wise to get it done pretty much right after delivery, because of this slightly higher risk of blood clots - with the section, I have to take home and do those stupid horrid little anti-clotting jabs every day so I can't imagine a better time really.

But yeah, baby's birth is like 15 weeks away yet, meanwhile life goes back to normal around me and I'm left hiding away avoiding the world, which sucks.

*Changed UK guidance anyway, as I think US have offered it to pregnant people from the very start?

Do you mean changed the guidance in terms of vaccine or in terms of working etc. I know currently I can’t be in the classroom last 28 weeks but that could go back to normal from 21st June. I don’t feel comfortable getting the vaccine while pregnant so was waiting until after anyway

 

[Bittersweet]

The vaccine guidance did change a few weeks ago and apparently we can get it when our age group is called. I was called already being a key worker so I’m gonna ask again tomorrow and see as midwife and consultant advised against it when I asked at 16 weeks. Who knows
