[MummaMoo]

That's lovely that you're feeling a bit closer to your mum Xan, and that you've done some baby shopping together

 

[amantila]

Sorry about all the ladies dealing with GD and testing :[ Luckily you're all here to support one another and share tips.

The adds used to drive me INSANE when I browsed bnb from my phone, until I put it into mobile mode. No more adds! :]

My mom just flew in last night :] Excited to see her even though we've had some rough times over the last two years. She's here for my baby shower tomorrow! My mother in law is hosting it for me and my sister in law who is due a month before me. Very excited! :]

Anyone having trouble sleeping? I mean, I'm exhausted but I've been up since 5:30 am because I just feel so restless and achey and my pelvis popping every time I move is not fun :[ I ordered a maternity belt and it should be here today...looking forward to trying it out!

Lovely news Xan, it's great to spend special time with your mum. I really miss mine and hate living in a different country now that I have a child/ am pregnant again. But none of our family know...We are surprising them all when we fly back to the UK in a couple of weeks. I have a HUGE bump so it's definitely going to be a big surprise!!!

Thanks for the tip on the ads Amantilla!

 

[Sweety21]

Xan, that's really nice that you are getting close to your mom. Post pics when you get your bassinet.

Mumma, I couldn't wait either and that's why I asssembled my rocker which arrived today. I don't think I am gonna put it back in box because, I love it so much. Plus dd can use it as seat too.

Are you ladies talKing about pop up ads? I don't get any ads on my mobile. I am using pc version of site.

Nesting instinct affects: sorted the play area with new rug for both babies. We Can't paint since we live on rent but, this is what I can do least. Waiting for new beds so, I can finalized it all.

I only recently started to get the pop up adds for movies on my PC. Like maybe 2 weeks ago. It is so annoying!!! I've used this site for years and had those pop ups until now. On my phone I don't get them at all. I wish they would just stop these will ads!

 

[Uni tsi]

Sweety, what a great room! I love the wall decals!

The ads that annoy me the most are the ones that play sound. The full screen pop up ones are pretty annoying too. I could do without either of those.

Apparently I was horrible to be around today, although I really didn't think I was being that awful You know it's bad when someone asks "why are you yelling at me?" and you realize you're yelling back at them "I'M NOT YELLING!" In my defense, I really don't think I was being easily irritated, rather everyone around me was just being super irritating

 

[MummaMoo]

Oh lordy, SO uncomfortable today!
Has anyone ever woken up with their bladder so full that it seems to strain something and you're really crampy afterwards? This is me today. Finally given in and taken some paracetamol. Also cracked open some fybogel to help movement because the cramping is making things difficult... a little mopey this morning.

Uni, MrMoo has been saying lately that he can't wait for this baby to be out because I've been super snappy! My patience is really thin with Sophie too, and I hate being like that.
Last night she tore up one of her books from a collection, and I'm so disappointed.

I'm not being very patient with oh or dd either =( its the hormones ladies and don't forget we are growing another human its HARD work. so don't be hard on yourselves. we haven't got long and then its time our OH's share this tiredness with the feeds etc. so for now they have to suck it up and extra treats for our little ones haha

 

[x-ginge-x]

I'm super cranky this pregnancy, hissy fit at the drop of a hat cranky too, I'm currently soaking some nappies (diapers) in oxyclean hoping to brighten them some before giving them a real good wash cos I sat and feed them yesterday, all new leg and back elastics and new Velcro and laundry tabs, much better now! I have some pink ones though but meh it's a poop catcher haha

 

[campn]

I cry 5 times a day now. The crying didn't start this early with DS, but I feel like I'm 38 weeks and I don't know how I'll actually make it to the end. This pregnancy is harder than my pregnancy with my son plus I didn't need to take care of a kid the last time and it was a smooth sailing no complications pregnancy.

I'm really hoping and praying for some kind of a second wind.

 

[MummaMoo]

With you all the way on this Campn, not easy this time at all!

 

[Sweety21]

I am at screening appointment. Scared. Wish me luck ladies.

 

[Uni tsi]

Sweety all fingers and toes crossed for you Let us know how it went! Hopefully all is well!

In a totally selfish way, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one being a bit snippy. The worst part for me really was that I didn't even realize I was doing it

Speaking of already having a kid making the pregnancy harder, I had a few friends over today who have toddlers. And, I must say that I thought of you ladies and I gained an empathy I didn't have before. I had to hide upstairs for a while, it got so overwhelming. And that was after only a few hours and they weren't even my kids I have a great respect for second time moms now. I mean, I knew to begin with that you guys were amazing, but now I realize - seriously, wow! You're like super women!

 

[mari35racz36]

Campn - I have been emotional lately too. Yesterday I was makings a bday cake for my brother in law and i started crying when the icing wasn't turning out right. Lol I was literally in tears. My hubby thought it was hilarious! I cry over almost noting now a days. I don't know how I'm going to make it to sept either.

Any of you ladies getting restless legs? Mine are absolutely crazy right now. When I'm lying down to fall asleep they just won't stop! My Hubby says they even move a lot while I'm sleeping. It's really driving me nuts.

 

[campn]

Mari- I'm glad I'm not the only one! I feel like I've gone crazy. The emotional "losing control" didn't start this early last time I swear. I hope this is only a short phase and soon enough we'll be back to happy and energetic. Good thing I'm almost done with the nursery! Phew!

Uni- Oh this is why I've decided TWO kids are more than enough for me. It's definitely a gift honestly, some women can handle 8 kids and some can handle 1 and I think my magic number is 2. Today I saw a woman pregnant with her third and I thought, how is she pulling this off!? Complete super powers like you said!

Sweety- Good luck hun I hope it all goes really good. We can use some good news now that we are over the anatomy scans scares and glucose
tests.

I hope everyone else had a lovely weekend. Tomorrow is Monday again ugh!!

 

[MummaMoo]

Hehehe! Last night I had myself in tears, proper sobbing snotty tears, over something that never even happened! You know when you imagine a scenario in your head? I did that, and fair enough it wasn't a nice scenario but all the same.... silly

I'm not exactly getting restless leg, but after lying on my side for so long I get a very internal achiness in my hip and down my leg, even lying in one position for too long makes my back ache.

Am waving the flag of submission at work today and asking for help. We have a week to turn the students rooms around ready for summer school. I have 31 to do and it's going to be a hard slog. Especially after this weekend - I think my discomfort yesterday was SPD after all. Still lying in one position in bed so yet to know if if feels any easier.

9 WEEKS TIL DUE DAY!!!

 

[hopie2015]

Sweety- hope all went great. Hope to hear from you soon.

I seriously dread the future 5 or 6 scans I have, as I get so nervous before/during them.

Xan- that is wonderful about you and your mom and I bet after baby your bond will grow stronger too.

Campn- I'm sorry. You need a good 'you' day. I always hear every pregnancy is different and sorry it is much harder this time. Like Uni said - seriously you, Mum and all the other moms here with little ones at home are like superwoman to me too. I never could have gotten through that first tri with a toddler at home. I truly believe i am just cut out for one kid.
Uni- I laughed when you said you hid in your room a bit. I have done that!!

I don't know why I don't feel emotional yet. Mood is pretty good despite having total insomnia. I'm not able to sleep more than 3 hours a night now for so long and like to get 8. I think it's the hormones. No pain or restless legs yet.. I just don't want to sleep.

Reading up a lot on gd. How good exercise and fluid intake is for sugar levels. I see how dehydration can affect glucose readings so hopefully since I was so sick last week that raised the level, but wishful thinking I know.

 

[Sweety21]

Thanks everyone. Everything went well and baby is perfectly fine. All his measurement was good and we are right on track.

On the ouchy part. Got the Rhogam shot (I am rh -ve). Anyone else RH -ve here? and was informed that I will have to take the GTT test. It will be in two weeks though.

I am with you ladies on being snappy. It's hard not to be snappy actually. But, we all know it's just hormonal thing for another 10weeks or so.

RLS, definitely have them. And they get worse if AC is on. Hard to cope up because It's freaking　hot in here.

 

[MummaMoo]

Yep sweety i'm Rh -ive too, had my shot at 28weeks - use called Anti-D over here. Personally I found the whooping cough shot more painful than Ant- D, even though I bruised with that one.

 

[Alea]

Thank you all for your endless support throughout my pregnancy and more recently since I've had Lottie. Things are very difficult at the moment and I am struggling massively so I'm going to take a break from BnB while Lottie is in NICU.

I wish you all the happiest and healthiest end your pregnancy and I can't wait to "meet" your babies. To those hoping for a VBAC - Lottie was a VBAC, so don't let anything stop you. Listen to your bodies, and gas & air is wonderful.
