Team Ding Dong... Bonking, Bumping, and Burping Along Together! ;-)

[puppycat]

Physio was ok, I have SPD and SIJD (front and back of the pelvis dysfunction) got a massive belt that's helping a bit better than the one I had. She's put my crutches on order cause they didn't have any, and told me pretty much everything I already knew. Oh well, its a small help I guess, plus least I have a definite diagnosis. Just gotta plod along I guess least bubba seems ok, she's a little wriggle bum x

:wave: Tink

I had SPD with Laura - I truly feel for you because it was bloody awful, I was signed off from work in the end because I could hardly move.

One of the best things I learnt was to sit on a carrier bag in the car, that way you can easily swivel your bum to step out frontwards instead of separating the legs to step out - OUCHIE!

Other than that it's a beeeehatch and you just have to take it slowly

[puppycat]

Some people don't deserve to be blessed with God's children x

 

[coral11680]

Hi ladies,

Bnb was playing up earlier for me also!

Tink sorry you are in a lot of pain, hopefully u get your crutches soon and the belt eases the discomfort also

Lew how was the doc appointment?

MC that skank obviously doesn't give a toss about her baby

I'm off to bed now also night girls! X

 

[Hopes314]

Well I havent been on for days and it feels like I missed a lot. So hard to catch up!

Tink it sounds awful to be in so much pain, I hope it eases up with the new belt and all, wish there was more they could do to help you through this! I'm sure seeing your tiny will make it all worth while!

Lew and MC- I have similar pains to what you guys describe. Today was the worst of it so far actually. Mine feels like a combination between my belly stretching, round ligament pains, and constipation. So much going on in that region its hard to sort out what is what at this point!!

MC-I can't believe the stuff going on with your crazy neighbor! I just hope baby turns out alright and wont be affected by any more of the mother's stupidity. Yuck!

Jenny TTC is hard and its all you can think about, which is definitely normal! Try not to let it get you too down I hope AF is here and gone by the time your weekend comes

As for me, I had my first appointment with the new midwives this morning. Wasn't bad, took TWO HOURS yikes. They gave all the info from the beginning as though I was a new first tri patient, and then we went from there. There are 8 midwives in the practice, and I just happened to see the NEW midwife that has literally just started 2 days ago. She was slow working on the computer and inputting the info, and it took her a long time to print me a prescription for a prenatal lol. Got my order for my anatomy scan, they said I could have it anytime in next 2-4 weeks but we chose to schedule it same day as next midwife appointment since its all in same hospital and hospital is 50 minutes from our house So exactly one month from today (monday). Anyway they're all nice people, they are really pushing taking the birthing class and breastfeeding class, and also pushing for us to make a "birth plan." Has anyone ever actually made a birth plan?? They also asked us to participate in a "new moms study" that will add an extra few minutes on to our appointments, they're compensating us with cash and giving us free parking and a car seat and stuff, but regardless, as a student nurse it was always so hard to try to get people to participate in our little studies, so I felt like I should be nice and say yes, no harm done. Also, we get 3 free extra ultrasounds and 2 free extra blood work exams out of the deal because part of the study pays attention to cervical length/competence, baby size and hormone/nutrient levels, so I will be happy to have the extra monitoring anyway (you guys know how I worry ). It also includes a free 3D ultrasound at the end of the pregnancy.

ANYWAY enough about all of that, baby is doing just fine. Uterus is still measuring a little big, almost even with my bellybutton right now midwife said. Officially gained 11 pounds since the beginning of the pregnancy Baby heartbeat is still around 158-160. Was kicking like crazy when midwife was trying to pick up heartbeat. Midwife did mention that she was surprised baby is down so low still when uterus extends so high. Does this matter? <---midwife said this might be why im pissing myself pahahah baby is low and kicking the piss out of me.. literally.
Have been "thinking" I've been feeling baby lately, and today I KNOW I'm feeling baby moving, so its about time!!

Saw you guys talking about painting.. this past weekend OH and I painted the baby room and put together the crib, it is lovely, almost made me cry Will post a pic at some point

China-I know you were looking at the same crib we bought, the graco stanton or similar, and were interested in how it was in person. OH is VERY happy with it. It is very big and sturdy and thick, and feels very safe. For price, I definitely recommend it!

Sorry for the long dumb post, just felt like I had a lot to catch you guys up on. Will be excited to guess everyone's birth dates and weights!! I am starting to feel like I'm having a giant cow baby, with the big measurements and big weight gain.

 

[MommyV]

Hi Ladies,

Tink I'm so sorry that youre in so much pain I hope that you can get through the rest of this pregnancy without being in too much more pain

MC I hope that this time you have a smaller baby I can't imagine having a baby almost 10 lbs also still praying for that poor little baby girl maybe best that she gets away from her mother now

Hopes sounds like little one is doing well I never did a birth plan but I know many women do I think that poppy said that she did one

Lew I hope that those pains aren't anything but I think it may be a good idea to mention it to the docs when you go

Poppy I hope that all is going well with you I have been having some cramps as well I don't remember this with my others but I do think that it's normal

Jenny it's okay to lurk I've been a lurker many times I hope that you'll be feeling better soon and get that bfp

Sleeping bubs that's great that you're getting all that money for a wedding you should be able to have a great wedding

caz I wasnt able to see your chart but I hope that you o soon

asfm nothing going here I think that it will be fun to guess baby stats my children so far have been 7lb10oz and 6lb13oz and they were both 5 days early so I'm hoping that this lo won't be any bigger

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Quick hello, off to babysit next door for a quick spell whilst she hops to the shop. Morning Phoebe, Cabs and thanks for caring my honey pots x

If your doing your guesses MC, I might be an early induction/C-sec also. Depends on my BM's, size of bubba, and how the SPD SIJD progresses. I'm hunching on induction around my due date, either way I'm not looking forward to it be on in a little bit x

 

[phoebe]
