Summer Peaches... going to be ripe in late July/early August!!

[kmbabycrazy]

How come I've never had/been offered a diabetes test then :-S I've never even heard of it.


misse does your LO nap well during the day? i have found that the older my LO gets the more prone to overtiredness she is and if she hasn't had a good 2-3hours during the day (well she needed 2 naps at your LO's age) she'd be awake and unsettled at night and up at 5am without fail! so maybe she needs MORE sleep? she also used to wake at 5am then take a big nap in the morning to make up for it so i started to push the nap out a bit later every week and now we get 11-12 hours. i am very very strict on naps (so bad I turn down playdates at naptime etc.) cos my LO just goes into meltdown without her routine!

molly - my LO had severe reflux, we were in and out of hospital with weight loss, colic etc. for months and LO ended up on twice the adult dose of omeprazole :-O it was hell, i thought the stress was going to kill me some days - i blame her being early and low birth weight!

km - wouldn't worry too much about fundal height hun, bet baby is just perfectly average! i'm measuring behind but LO is just above the 50th centile.

mosnippy - hope you feel better soon


Does anyone know if their baby is head down yet? My little bugger is still transverse :-S
xx

You'll only be offered the test if you're at high risk of having it in the UK hun. Otherwise when they do the blood test for iron they'll do a random glucose check too. xx
Oh and I had a student midwife today who couldn't really tell which way she was lying but by the feet in my ribs and her bum sticking out up top I can tell she usually lies head down, though she's flipped back and forth over the last week x

 

[Mosnippy]

i was only told to take this test because of my weight/bmi had it at 20w but mine wasnt a GTT another diabetes check (weird) - they always think because of my weight tht i will get everything lol... but my sugar is spot on no worries..so midwife said i didnt need to do the follow up test at 26 weeks and there is no sugar even in my urine when they do those tests at the check up.

i hopefully know more about my little man from tonights scan, can wait!
looking at my bump its diff bigger but he diff stays low, very rare i feel kicks at the top. i wish he would just go up as its so uncomfortable lol

argh i have to go to london for 2 weeks in a few weeks... well one week mon-frid for handover to my replacement then i come home and back down following week mon - thursday for conference.... luckily my boss already said if its to much i can leave at anytime lol..i probably will!! as i will be 31/32 weeks ..luckily hotel is right by office but still from going from home working to full on get dressed go to office etc..going to be knackering but last time i see everyone before maternity leave..as we all spread globally.

Birth was on the list so low birth weight and prolonged hospital stay etc allgo into it, then previous family allergies and hyper mobility ( physio has just just checked me over and given me 5 out of 9 which is pretty mobile from waist down lol)

Haha feel really bad but Physio has said I can't do my job so waiting on GP she has said I also need to go back post baby to be tightened back up i think I am also being told not to have more babies for quite some time

 

[misse04]

Honestly I've tried to change routines but let her nap as she pleases now as its not possible to keep her awake if were in car or out in pram.

When I had scan he was head down not sure if he still is.

Physio said to me about exercises post pregnancy too she sai my muscles wouldnt have had time to heal after Connie so need to tighten them up after this one but im with you on that one... no more babies! haha

 

[Mosnippy]

[Mosnippy]

[misse04]

[stardust599]

Agree with misse

Breech is fine, plenty of time! Little bugger of mine is firmly wedged in transverse too! He's not even vertical yet lol. We will have to get scrubbing the floors to get these babies turned x

 

[molly85]

i have a tumble weed or just and active bum feet in ribs bleugh!

Getting up and dressed for work sucks!

3lb huge baby! sorry about your friend makes us thankful despite the grumbling that we don't have to go through that

 

[misse04]

Think Ive moaned all of the last 28 weeks! lol

 

[Mosnippy]

I know I have lol hate went people ask if I have enjoyed pregnancy lol cause I haven't very few moments lol

Molly she said he was average cause I was like whattt? 3lbs lol but luckily the never accurate lol one hopes

 

[molly85]

Whats to enjoy you get huge sore and kicked repeatedly lol

 

[misse04]

I never understand people who really enjoy being pregnant. To me its just something youve got to do to get a baby haha x

 

[Mosnippy]

i agree, the woman that say the love being pregnant clearly had no ms pains etc...or they on drugs or just making it up lol

 

[kmbabycrazy]

You know what i hated being pregnant with my son but i missed it so much when it was gone. I had ms until i was 24 weeks had so many aches and pains but i couldn't wait to be pregnant again. Its hard when you're going through it but you also get that wonderful time when only you can feel them kicking. That you're all in one person. Its hard but its pretty awesome too x

 

[stardust599]

I enjoyed my first pregnancy. I hate this one!

Any tips for a sinus infection I feel like someone smacked me in the face with a brick. Ouch ouch ouch. Paracetomal isn't touching it. I'm so drained and exhausted too. Just need to sleep!

 

[misse04]

lots of vicks on your cheeks, forhead, nose and jaw. I had the worst sinus infection Ive ever had a few months ago and had hot baths, lots of vicks and bed x

 

[molly85]

menthol and eucolyptus in hot water i put it in the water in the bottom of the bath and head hot showers I don't go in for lukewarm ones I just boil my bump lol. Oh and make sure doors and windows closed when doing it. you can stick your head over a bowl witha towel over your head if your not into mega hot showers

 

[misse04]

feel like commiting suicide, just counted my calories and Ive had 2800 today! I never eat that much! ergggg so gutted!x

 

[molly85]

lol it equals out! I've just had halfa bargain bucket and a large lunch and many other naughty things I'm huge and starving theres no winning
