Ladies thanks for being so awesome! Really, you're the best

 

[Mummy1506]

Wow looks like we will be having quite a few Aug babies then! Good luck to those who have dates booked in 😄.

Excited for my baby shower today didn't have one with my boys so will be nice as this is our last baby. Time is flying by right now & getting a little bit nervous have my final growth scan & birth discussions this week so will be even more real that it's happening SOON!

 

[MummaMoo]

Mummy - enjoy your baby shower!
Hope the growth scan goes OK this week too.

I've got another scan this week (Monday), resulting fromfrom my visit to hospital a couple of weeks ago after that bleed. Midwife appointment Monday too, I guess we'll go over birthing details then. Can't remember when we did that last time.

Having one of those mornings when I need coffee and paracetamol. Sophie is already pestering to go to the park (it's only 8.30am!) but as we're still in our PJs I'm hoping she can settle in front of the tv for half an hour or so, so I can wake up a bit. The neighbours sons bedroom is next to mine, and they have a gate that has an annoying squeak. Hopefully the walk to the park will help with the back ache.

Mummy, mumma- good luck with your scans this week!

Mumma I hope you feel better and that the coffee and paracetamol does its trick.

Mummy- I hope you have a great baby shower.

To all the ladies that are nervous because of previous issues and/or heartbreaks, approaching delivery, or any other reason

Along the "pregnancy is sexy" lines, has anyone lately had new problems with digestion? The past 2 days I've been having a lot of loose bowel movements and when I go to bed I belch like a sailor for about 30 minutes straight. It's to the point that it makes DH laugh. I usually don't burp much at all, so it's quite shocking...

 

[Sweety21]

Hey ginge!
I pm you on fb. Thanks for taking the initiative.

 

[Uni tsi]

xan "pregnancy is sexy" haha but yeah, I have been experiencing an increase in both those symptoms just the past week. I assume the belching is just because baby is pushing more on the intestines and my body mistakenly thinks it can relieve the pressure. Not so sure on the loose BMs, but I heard somewhere that it can mean the body is getting ready for delivery ... however, I thought that was just a 'right before' thing and mines been for about a week now so idk I guess it's better than the alternative which so many women deal with at this stage lol

 

[campn]

Xan I also heard it's an early labor symptom, early could still mean 3 weeks to go, that was my case, prodromal labor, it can go on for weeks!

I was waking up every hour last night from body aches and pains, getting off and on the bed is proving to be so hard now, and my Braxton hicks are happening much more frequently now.

 

[hopie2015]

Mummy- enjoy your shower!!! Best of luck at the growth scan.
Mumma- best of luck at scan on Monday too.

Xan- hear you with those issues.
As Uni said, pregnancy is real sexy! Campn- really that can go on for weeks? I hope your aches and BHs are much better for you tonight.

The 9th month ain't easy!! I can't seem to leave bed today. I've also finally got some swelling. Sure the 120 degree heat index doesn't help. Sick of feeling so sick to my stomach but hopefully just 3 more weeks to go.
Seems there will be quite a few more August babies on here!! Oh, how I hope but know I must be patient and enjoy the rest of this pregnancy, as it is my only one.

 

[mari35racz36]

xan - I am having the loose bowels as well. I have also heard its your body's way of clearing itself out before labour.

Hopie - I am hoping for only 3 weeks to go as well. I am so done!

campn - Ive been getting up almost every hour for a while now. It is just awful. I am in such pain too. My bed is high so a lot of the times my hubby has to give me his hand so I can get my in. lol I think I will take a tylenol at bedtime tonight and see if it helps. Hope you have a better sleep tonight.

 

[campn]

Mari- Hehe I've the same problem! Our bed is so high and I'm 5 ft tall so it's a challenge as it is to get into bed! I have to call DH to come in and "fix me" so I can lay down or get off, I'm like so stiff! I just took a Tylenol today cause I was like yelling in pain. I'll probably take one before going to bed too.

 

[amantila]

Loose bowels here too...multiple times a day. Bleh. Pregnancy is so sexy.

Had a great day today with the in-laws. Went to lunch and home depot so they could help us pick out and install a new light fixture for outside. It looks so much better than the ugly red painted one we had that clashed with our house!

In-laws made a comment that next time we see them, baby will be almost here or already here! That comment really hit me...he's almost here! Can't believe his arrival is right around the corner! And I'm happy about that because I have totally hit the 9 month "I'm so done" wall at this point. I had to sit down and take a break after making the bed today. That's pathetic. But that's how physically tired I feel.

 

[MummaMoo]

Yep, loose bowels, as unpleasant as it is, is good! sure that's why hot & spicy foods are recommended as they tend to upset the stomach, which can bring on labour.

Backache hasn't eased much at all today, and get quite niggly pains in my hips and bump. Verity is getting very excited thinking it's going to kick off very soon - or at least that slow labour is starting. I hope she's right, but at the same time, I'm doubtful.

Escaped the park today and cheekily asked the neighbours for a playdate instead so we spent the morning there. I sat and chatted to the mum as she nursed her 5 month old and watched the dad play with Sophie and their son, Jack. Sophie asked if she could hold baby Lily, so she did that and gave some kisses and cuddles - was lovely to see how gentle she was with her and wanted Lily involved in the games too, reassuring for the not too distant future!

 

[Uni tsi]

Ah Moo, that's lovely It's great she was so sweet and gentle. What a great big sister she shall be!

I had my roughest day so far I think. 110 heat index here, had to go into the office to clean out my desk and sort through some files since I'll be gone on maternity leave and the air conditioning does not work in my car I actually thought I might die, it was so awful. I had to stop half way there and go into a restaurant to escape the heat. Got to work, and started having BH contractions, so often I even began to time them just in case. Couldn't drink enough water to get them to stop. Work has air conditioning but it's just on "normal people" setting, not cranked down to "frigid" as I keep it at home. So happy to get out of there even though it meant another 30 min car ride. Glad to be home now and finally drank enough water BH have stopped. I can go the rest of my life without ever having to experience that again. It was hellish.

Thank you for listening to me whine!

Hopie, you guys had 120 today!? yikes! seriously hope you got to stay indoors!

 

[ciz]

More bh contractions today. Very strong ones that were making me have the sweats again. And noticed a bit of pink stain on the knickers after
.nothing to be concerned about though. Looks like my body is really getting ready for the final performance of pregnancy lol

 

[campn]

Wow so many of us have definitely hit a rut! Big hugs to each one of you who had a long hard day!

I find that I've so much nesting I wanna do but zero energy to do any of it!

Mumma, I'm glad you could entertain Sophie without having to go to the park! I can not go to our park during the day or I'll seriously melt!

Uni, oh that stupid AC! I hope you can fix it soon, I'd roll down all 4 windows and create a current and pray that helps!

Aman, it's much more real when someone else points it out isn't it!? Everyone I talk to is like "Oh so soon now!" And I panic in my head! It's my second baby, but I feel like it's the first time I've ever done that.

Ciz, I think you may be having him 37-38 weeks! Keep an eye on that pink discharge!

Baby has been super active today, and I don't mind! It's reassuring. I also had ice cream with Oreos, fudge and peanuts and got 94 an hour after when I tested my blood sugar, I was so shocked! Weird alien body I have.

 

[MummaMoo]

Well - awake at 1.40am is SO not me. Back ache, bump ache and feeling rather sick, also rather tense in my neck and shoulders. Even MrMoo is asking questions, thinking things might actually be kicking off. Just spent an hour watching the Olympics and come back up to bed - but still cramping.

Uni, so annoying when people just don't understand hoi low the a/c needs to be for us preggos, isn't it!? And I'm sure you'd find it pretty cool over here compared to temperatures you're dealing with. MrMoo gets a death stare if he touches the controls in the car. He has a habit of just switching everything off instead of making a minor adjustment and as soon as he does that I feel like I'm suffocating.

Campn, the park is honestly a 5 minute walk away, but I couldn't even be bothered to go that far, so pleased when the neighbours said they didn't really have any plans!

 

[amantila]

Mumma - oooh sounds like something may be happening! Keep us updated!

Mumma and Uni - I agree with the ac situation! I feel so bad Uni that you are dealing without it in your car! I straight up refused to drive anywhere and made my husband chauffeur me in his truck until he agreed to let me get it fixed. I just couldn't handle it...made me so dizzy to drive in the heat! I actually crazy lady snapped at husband today in his truck. We were driving 5 minutes down the road to home depot and he opened his window. I asked him nicely to close it, because it was way too hot. He didn't. And I snapped and yelled crazy lady style "IT'S TOO HOT IN HERE!!!" There may have been an expletive used too in that haha. He calmly closed the window then and blasted the ac for me on my side for the remaining one minute of the drive. I felt crazy, but at least I also felt cool.

campn...your ice cream sounds delicious! Food envy over here...although I just had a chocolate chip cookie so I shouldn't complain haha.

 

[campn]

Mumma- Ooooo I really hope this is it! I always thought you would have the first August baby! Maybe convince mr.moo to do the deed and maybe that'll break your waters!! I say since its night time though, try to get some sleep just in case this is it, you'd be somewhat rested!

Aman- haha our poor hubbies! Mine isn't allowed to touch the controls, I've my own "system" that I like to do and he just messes that up (guess he missed orientation!? )
We park the car outside on the driveway though and it's so hot here so you go in and it's like I went inside the oven! It felt like 108 F in the car today.
