I'm looking forward to giving birth as as I'm sure you can imagine with the size of me I feel enormous and very uncomfortable x

Well, midwife appointment in half an hour and starting to get anxious. Feeling even bigger today, and everything is a struggle. It hurts to walk and move about, hell it hurts to sit down. Wish I could just go back to bed and go to sleep. I usually get too nervous to tell my midwife if anything is bothering me because she gives me this look when she asks like "don't you dare say anything is wrong otherwise I may slap you!" But this time I am psyching myself up and have even written it down because I find it easier to have the words to say if i've written them down before.

Work is awful. For the first time yesterday (bear in mind they've known about my pregnancy since 7 weeks) someone asked "are you alright carrying that" I just had to mutter that I shouldn't really but I've been fine doing it the last 30 weeks so I'll just carry on". I then had to do the filing of all the legal bundles which included getting heavy files down from a shelf, usually I'm okay but dropped one yesterday which pulled me down with it and I hurt my hand slamming it against the desk to stop me going into it bump first. Got home, snook up to the bedroom and had a good cry, OH caught me though and cheered me up, I love him for that!

A tiny part of me hopes there is a problem and I get put on bed rest so that I don't have to come back!! But of course that's massively overruled by the part of me that wants everything to be okay...but that part also wants me to shrink to a normal size and not be so huge and uncomfortable so that I can stop feeling like a hippo!! lol xx

Ahh sounds like your having a bad few days, good luck a midwife. Let us know what they say. And with work just think not long left! X

Was measuring 37 midwife didn't seem concerned and wouldn't send me for a scan. Had a terrible morning at work and because if it i completely broke down in the toilets at the drs. Made some excuse to work and came home. I just couldn't face it and I'm struggling so much i don't even know if i can face another 2 weeks :'(

Poor you hun

I really wouldn't worry about your bump at all, baby is just fine in there and everything is perfect. Sounds like you are having a really rough time and need some rest though. Take a week off sick and see if your doctor will sign you off for another week xx

 

[misse04]

I think so too, go to drs and see if they will sign you off. You've only got 2 weeks left s don't worry about upsetting them it's worth a try x

Hi girlies!

Sorry I'm not here too often. I still read the posts but I don't normally comment.

I'm 31 weeks today. This pic was taken on Monday though. Had Midwife today and everything is fine luckily. Baby is upside down, strong heart beat, normal blood pressure and tests. I'm 72 Kg heavy (11st 5lb). Not bad considering I was 65 Kg before pregnant! I love knowing what position baby is in now because everytime she moves, I imagine which part of the body it is.

KM, hope things get better. Just think you only have 2 weeks left. I'll be working until the end or until I can't drive anymore. I've got short legs so depending on how much bump grows between now and then, that will make me decide...

Is anyone having any ante-natal classes? I've booked mine with NHS but they are in June! I hope baby doesn't come before that!

My family in Argentina are sending me a parcel of clothes and bedding they made for me and baby. I feel very happy but guilty at the same time. They can't contribute in any other way as they haven't got money really...

My OH's family, so far his mum has bought us the pram so that is great. One of his grandma said that she will buy us something but we need to tell her. Not sure what her budget is to be honest and I don't want to ask. Not sure what his other grandparents are doing yet.

We are also getting a few hand-me-downs from friends so I already started putting a little wardrobe together for my baby. We also got a few bargains at carboot sales and E-bay.

Anyhow, I'd better start cooking now. If any of you girls want to keep in touch more often, I'm on Facebook everyday. Find me here https://www.facebook.com/thelorenacamacho or here https://www.facebook.com/koolmami

Thats nice for your family to send stuff they have made, i think thats really sweet. I'm not having ante natal classes, I was meant to with Connie but never ended up going because it was all in one day for hours and couldnt be bothered. I'm now selling the icandy and the other double pram I've got because I took Connie out in the icandy at the weekend and its the blue one and she looked like a boy so I'm going to get a black one instead x

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Going to go to the doctors tomorrow and ask him of he'll sign me off.

Also don't know if i mentioned but baby is head down and starting to engage xx

 

[misse04]

Really! Sounds like your going to have an early babyand Good luck at drs tmo! Toms just gone up the gym, Connies just gone to bed and I've just got to wash up bottles while the baths running. A very rare bit of peace and time to myself!

 

[molly85]

oh yuck engaged baby!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I know its no wonder my pelvis has been in agony the last week she's only just got her head in but its definitely dropping. Can't lean forward it hurts right at the front of my pelvis and i guessed trays what was causing it. And misse hope she doesn't plan on making too early an appearance x

 

[molly85]

SHe could go for June 30th! thats 6 weeks away how scary!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

With all this going on i keep having a horrible feeling i'm going to end up going into labour on my birthday (June 14th). That'd be a 21st to remember lol.

 

[misse04]

This time last year I was due June 10th! Not that she got here untill 21st but still seems so wierd. x

 

[misse04]

And im hoping for July 4th, 14th or 21st... If not I will have too many lottery numbers

 

[molly85]
