So I guess this is my first Nine Month Wait...

hi ladies how are you all??? got a quick question for you....

is it normal to get reduced movements at around 30 weeks?

normally the baby is very active and i feel him kick or prod every couple of minutes...yesteday he was very quiet and i felt him a few times but it was very light and this morning ive not felt him at all despite being awake from just after 3am, normally we play a game in a morning as he is always so active and he follows my hand around kicking it but ive not had the slightest of pokes from him in5 hours xxx

Hon if you're worried get it checked out.

 

[meldmac]

Hope everyone is doing well.

Just got back from scan, details in journal. Baby is doing well and very active and everything is normal. I have more details posted in my journal if you'd like to take a look.

Thanks girls, I phoned the midwife and she told me to go to the hospital for monitoring, after about 10 mins of monitoring he started moving around so all is well how is everyone doing? Xxx

 

[Kelly9]

Glad to hear it is all ok!

I am doing ok, tired and have had belly pain for a couple days now, tried modifying my diet and am hoping it will go away. Might be the caffeine I allow my self most day as I had a sensitivity to that before. We'll see. Was afraid it was my gallbladder again so thats been scaring me. Have to work nights today and tomorrow in hospital and work tomorrow morning at my other job to so I will be busy the next couple of days.

hey ladies hopefully everyone is okay...

Wannabe - quite the scare... Im glad everything is okay - I have been having decreased movements too with my little one... the dr said to pay attention to her schedule - so in the morning she starts moving when I wake up and turn over in bed and then after I drink my oj i get some movement while Im sitting at my desk at work - sometimes I dont feel much all day - she probably sleeps and then the next stent is after I eat dinner - but its not like kicks anymore its her rolling around and stretching so it just feels like pressure rather than someone poking you with their lil toes from the inside... LOL...

DMN - times going by really really fast - holy cow!!! has the dr said there was a chance you could go early?? Any more BH contractions today??

I hope everyone else is doing great - as for me - we have paint on the walls in the nursery and moldings up - looks very cute... and my shower is not this sunday but next sunday Im soooooo excited!!! I keep checking my registry to see if anyones bought anything - Im sooo nosy... hee hee.... Well off to find a rug for the nursery this weekend and to put the furniture back in the room so I know what areas on the walls I can put up decals.... fun fun... Have a good day everyone!!

Hey Everyone,

Sorry haven't been on much. Just been doing things around the house and a new school quarter started this week too. My Pathophysiology instructor is gonna be a piece of work. She's very interesting but a stickler too. Anyway, sorry I haven't went back and commented on everyone.

Melsue - Boy you're almost there! It seems like yesterday you were digging FRER's out of the garbage after 12 hours had passed.

Dmn - Any signs yet?

Meldmac - Good news on the scan. Gotta jump over and check your journal.

Have a great day ladies!!!

 

[dmn1156]

melsue glad your doing well and the nursery sounds like it is really coming on

west sounds like your keeping busy

no signs here just the BH which i get on and off most days other than that nothing i dont think il go early midwife says she cant see it lol

 

[Kelly9]

Hey all I am still around, busy long day today 16 hours and back at new job for 9 more tomorrow. Very tired. Belly has calmed down some, it wasn't a bug it was an ache probably from baby. I notice that my ribs are starting to hurt now that baby is getting so high, probably spreading them! I get fewer kicks to now but lots of rolling and stretching movements it feels so neat and weird at the same time. Got to sleep now.!

 

[meldmac]

Hope everyone is doing well.

Lets just say I haven't had the best start to the 3rd tri last night. It's pretty much been a rough week. I've updated my journal for whoever would like to read.

 

[westbrja]

Hi Girls!!!

Dmn - How are you feeling?

Kelly - How's everything?

Csunshine - I've been meaning to ask you, what dose of Wellbutrin are you on? Is 300mg daily normal or okay to be taking? That's what I'm on and it seems to be working well. I seem to have mellowed out lol, DF thinks so too.

AFM - I'm at work this weekend . It's my last day of three. I've been feeling pretty good except baby has been lying on my sciatic nerve most days. I never noticed this with my other two. Sometimes I get up and my leg almost gives out on me. The bigger she gets the more painful it gets . My mom and I went shopping last evening and she bought the baby four outfits and me a shirt and a sundress. I'm so excited my maternity scrubs finally came in the mail. They are a little big in the legs but so much more comfortable.

 

[dmn1156]

Hi all hope your all having a lovely weekend

west sorry baby is sitting on a nerve that is painful boo for work tho and great youe have more comfortable clothes to wear nothing worse than working in clothes that feel tight

afm well still getting the BH on and off but i get them worse when i do my housework or do too much i seem to start off with a list of 2 or 3 things to do then end up doing far more lol starting to feel uncomfortable now tho have to go have blood tests done tomorrow for pre eclampsia and chlostatis think that is how it is spelt im getting really itchy skin and it is keeping me awake at night now so they want to do some tests as a precaution

 

[Kelly9]

Cholistasis or how ever you spell it is what I Had at 16 weeks, gallbladder inflammation. I would think you would def know you have it cause it was the worst pain in my entire life! I hope baby comes soon so that you can be comfy again!

 

[dmn1156]

Thanks Kelly this is some kind of liver problem they are checking for causes severe itching to the skin. I am currently just lay here trying to get comfy and visiting the bathroom every 30 mins lol so looking forward to the end lol. Spoke to my friend today she is now 3 days overdue and hating it can't say I blame her the last few weeks can certainly be the most uncomfortable lol hope your doing ok and had a good weekend

 

[Kelly9]

Jaundice? Are you yellow tinged? lol

 

[dmn1156]

No lol this is what they are testing for thought id copy and paste what i found make it easier lol

(cholestasis) during pregnancy

Mild itching is common in pregnancy because of the increased blood supply to the skin. In late pregnancy the skin of the abdomen is stretched and this may also cause itchiness. Wearing loose clothing may help.

Severe generalised itching, without a rash, particularly in the last four months of pregnancy may be the only sign of a more serious problem called obstetric cholestasis. This is a potentially dangerous liver disorder, which seems to run in families, although it can occur without any family history. It is important to contact your doctor if you have troublesome itchy because obstetric cholestasis may lead to premature labour, stillborn or serious health problems for the baby, and to an increased risk of maternal haemorrhage after the delivery.

If itching becomes severe, or you develop jaundice (yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin), see your doctor. Itching which is associated with a rash may also need treatment if it is severe.

hi girls, just checking in, life seems to have taken over, don't think I've switched my pc on in a week lol!
everything going well here - got my 16 weeks appointment tomorrow

[Kelly9]

Ok it must be a more general term and not just used for gallbladder. I hope all is well.
