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

[dmn1156]

kelly very true lol it seems further on than it is hopefully your little man will surprise you and come on his due date

wannabe you could be a little low in iron

 

[Kelly9]

I would love for my man to come o his aug 3 due date! It would be perfect!

Wannabe try to eat several small meals throughout the day just like when you were preggo. BF'ing can take a lot out of you, nutrient wise, so its best to try and keep a balance. Also drink lots. Any other questions you may have about BF'ing please ask. I used to be involved with the LaLeche League (a BF'ing support group) and may be able to offer some tips. Good luck!
Kelly yeah I have to take a new pic. That one is so old now.
AFM - I have slept all day today. DD is at her grandmas so it was just DS and I. When DF came in from work this morning DS was already in our bed. We all stayed asleep until abt 9am. I got up and made breakfast and DS asked if we could lay back down. We got up at 2pm!
Yesterday I packed most of our hospital bag. My mom bought me new pj's and slippers for the hospital and some travel sized hygiene items (deodorant, toothpaste, soap, etc.). We swam at my moms all day yesterday too.

Sounds like a nice weekend west!

I had my shower sat then worked today, now I am shattered. Just did some running around, should print off some stuff and should study and work on my distance course but I am just to tired. Might do some work tomorrow... I keep saying that though. Got to get off my ass!

It was nice this weekend here, very sunny and warm but we're back to rain, its been 2 weeks of rain already with 2 days off in between and we're getting at least another 7 days of it according to the forcast (although that can change) there has been flooding in AB which never happens! Ah well I am stuck in clinical so I don't care if it rains.

Morning ladies

West and Kelly sounds like you had a nice weekend! Kelly don't work yourself to hard there lady!

Well I'm going to the walk in clinic this morning, have been having pains in my bladder the last two days and my dr. is away today and tomorrow. I don't want to leave it if it's a bladder infection. Think it may just be that he's down low now but don't want to take any chances. Ugh I hate going to walk ins.

Hope everyone has a great day

 

[Kelly9]

I hope it's not a UTI meld, when did you say your induction was again?

 

[dmn1156]

meldmac hope it is nothing to serious for you and that it is just your lo waiting to come out

west glad you had a lovely weekend

kelly im sure you will get all the work done you need to your always so busy you need to relax lol

well it rained here most of the weekend and i got soaked on saturday and did not get changed straight away cos i got the children sorted first well i woke up with a nice cold today so not feeling to hot today hope you are all having a lovely day

 

[meldmac]

Awww dmn hope you feel better soon hon!

Kelly: Think it should be on June 28th, unless he changes his mind when I see him on Thursday.

Back from the dr. and he said doesn't look like an infection thankfully but he will send it away for a culture and should be able to let me know tomorrow. He thinks it is just the way baby is laying. He's decided now that my ribs are a nice kicking bag! Think he's going to be a long baby as I can still feel him punching my bladder. Oh well only 7 more days!!

 

[Mrs_N]

ooh meld, pleased it doesn't sound like an infection I can imagine getting rib kicks and bladder kicks is pretty uncomfortable - at least at the moment when I get one it means the other gets a rest

hope you feel better soon dmn
we are just about shaking off this cold that we've had since last week, seems to have hung around for ages!

well I had my 26 week appointment today and everything looks good, fundal height is 26 so bang on

 

[dmn1156]

glad it is not an infection meldmac

Mrs N glad everything is spot on for you

just back from the docs DS had to have his pre school injections and Lucie had to have her first lot of injections as well she is all crabby now bless her

 

[Kelly9]

Glad it doesn't look like a UTI... I have been getting head butts to the bladder and kicks to the ribs simultaneously at times to. Lately it's been crotch shots on the inside which are the most painful though!
Hurray mrs n!
DMN get better soon, you've been sick so much in the last year.

Well back to clinical for an afternoon with the preceptor from hell.

 

[dmn1156]

thank you kelly i know lol apparently my fbc is still on the low side so im back on iron tablets i think this pregnancy and the recovery has really taken its toll on my body im normally quite healthy

 

[Kelly9]

Well hopefully everything goes back to normal fast

 

[westbrja]

Dmn - Feel better soon . It seems like we are always hoping you get better. I know you will be glad when your body has returned to normal.

Kelly - Have fun with the preceptor lol

Meldmac - WOW only 7 more days!!

I'm down to 40 days I think

 

[Mrs_N]

hoping you continue on the improve dmn
hope your afternoon wasn't too bad kelly!
woo for 40 days west!

 

[westbrja]

Hey Dmn, did you mention that you had spd? What is that exactly cuz I'm having the worst pain in my groin and its so hard to explain. It doesn't feel like stretching or pulling. This is PAIN . It's worse at night when I try to put my weight on one leg to flop my weight over to the other side. Plus it hurts under the fatty part of my va-jay-jay (TMI).

 

[dmn1156]

spd is a pain literally you can get it in the groin your back and thighs earlier on i was in pain but i could live with it the further on i got some days i would walk like i was a 100 years old the only thing the physio dept did for me really was a support belt which did not help too much as towards the end the pain was in my back and groin makes walking hard it sounds like it could be try using a support pillow between your thighs at night that helps a little and a heat pack and baths helped

 

[Mrs_N]

west I have SPD too, had it since about 16 weeks, sounds like that is what you are describing.
Have a look at this website - https://www.pelvicpartnership.org.uk/

I find it worst at night - turning over in bed is really hard, and when I have to get up it's agony, especially putting the weight through one side.
I find water helpful (but getting in & out of the bath is difficult!), heat packs, try a pillow between your knees at night too.
It's worth mentioning to your midwife & see if you can get a physio appointment - although saying that there's not much they can do. They gave me a support belt but I actually find it makes it worse. Some of the exercises have been helpful, and I find an exercise ball one of the most comfortable places to sit.

 

[Csunshine013]

Oh must mention to my PT friend and ask about this, my groin and back really hurt badly when turning over or trying to lift myself out of bed ARGH

Hope your all doing better today!

WOOO hoooo for 40 days!

dmn hope your feeling better, and the iron has kicked in!

afm going for my growth scan tomorrow so will update when I get back from my appt.

 

[westbrja]

At this late in my pregnancy its kinda pointless to do anything about it. I kept thinking it was just from being preggo and the nurse agreed. Its not so bad that I can't walk or live with it for 40 more days. I have a body pillow that I use at night. Thanks for the advice girls.

Well I'm off to bed. Goodnight all!
