Third Trimester - Pull up a chair

[Fallen Angel]

When are you planning finishing up Mrs Aligee? Do you need to wait till there's someone in your role? What do you do? Jeez, all the questions, sorry

Awww, your poor DD

I'm grand today, although I thought it was Wednesday, losing the plot with my baby brain! lol

My Banana appears to have a foot, leg, or something wedged under my rib and it's agony! But nice lol

 

[Kiki09]

Just wondered how everyone was doing? I think the weeks are flying by!

 

[Fallen Angel]

Hey Kiki

I'm doing grand thanks, or at least I would be if it wasn't for this silly pelvis of mine.

Struggling this week and in lots of pain and can't seem to get a physio apt either, grrr, just hoping it eases off, as it's been agony, but manageable all the way through, but this week I can barely walk.

Other than that, I'm grand, bump is growing and like you, I feel the weeks are flying by

Getting excited to meet our wee Banana in 8 weeks or so

 

[Kiki09]

that sounds painful, hope you manage to get a physio soon.. I am lucky I seem to be only suffering from major heartburn lol and lack of sleep as the little man thinks its party time when its my sleep time lol though I love it and know I will miss it..

I am like you, I cannot wait to meet him, 10 weeks time he will be in my arms! I am so excited, seems to be so real now!

Hopefully going to get the nursery started on this weekend!

 

[Fallen Angel]

It is bloody sore hon, mixture of SPD and my old broken pelvis and then doing silly labour positions at antenatal class at the weekend, that I find out when I spoke to my physio yesterday that I shouldn't have been doing. :doh:

What's your due date again hon? You're just a week or so after me aren't you (I'm 18th Sept)

Nursery???? Sheesh, ours is still a store room whilst the rest of the house rennovations carry on, but we are getting there!! but can't start on the nursery really till we have ceilings downstairs lol.

 

[Kiki09]

At my ante natal classes the mw had the men doing the birthing positions she said we have to do it for real and it is only fair they get to demonstrate them to us, it was v v funny to see and did actually give the men a bit of an understanding!

My due date is 6/10 but they have me booked in for a C-section on the 29/9 due to my history etc although I was not overly happy at first I have now come to terms with it and I want what is best for the baby not for me... plus it means I know 100% come the 29/9 he will be here!

 

[Fallen Angel]

that tickled me - I'd have loved to have seen their faces.

Which antenatal classes did you do Kiki? We're doing the NCT ones, as our NHS ones are at the most stupidist times.

She did get the men interacting well from a supporting role though, particularly with massage.

So, on 29/9 you meet your little man - wow.

Can I be nosey and ask why their giving you a c-section?

I'm hoping to gawd I get away with having a natural birth. I have a heart condition as well as a dodgy pelvis and at first they said, adamantly, it would be c-section. But at my last appointment, my obstetrician says she thinks she's happy for me to try a vaginal delivery, but that she'll make a definitive decision on our next apt at 35 weeks once she has the x-rays back from my old pelvic breaks.

She is referring me to the anaesthetist though, because there is the possibility if my heart goes wonky, that they'll give me a general to deliver the baby as there may not be enough time to administer an epidural for regular c-section.

I really don't want either of them, I'm determined to have my baby the right way - if I can.

 

[Kiki09]

I did the NHS ones as they were on a saturday morning which fitted in perfectly with work etc for both me and Steve..I found them really good, but then I know the mw, she is also a good friend of mine (we became friends when I lost my angel at 15 weeks)

I will pm you the reasons re c section

I was the same as you initially but having been through what i have been through I am happy with their decision... I went to hell and back...

 

[Fallen Angel]

That's good you've got such a good mw hon.

Hey, don't feel obliged to tell me, I am just being nosey hunny, regardless, everything is going swell this time and I'm enjoying following your progress and getting excited for you

 

[Kiki09]

I dont mind sharing with you, just not keen on posting it on here as its not really a happy story and people dont need that...

Same here, good that we are so close together, will be exciting as the time gets closer! do you know what you are having? or have you stayed team yellow?

 

[Fallen Angel]

Okay hon, totally understandable.

We're staying team yellow, but have been calling Banana 'him' since day dot as we hate 'it' bleurgh

Although, I actually think we're having a little girl now as I've been having girl dreams Not fussed either way to be honest, as long as our little Banana is healthy that's all that matters

 

[Bambers]

Hello lovely third tri ladies. x x Hope you don't mind me joining.

I am 32 weeks today and I am looking forward to really having this little bubs now and getting rid of the 24/7 acid indigestion and achey hips.

Hope you are all having a great day.

Bams x x

 

[Kiki09]

Bambers, nice to see another 3rd Tri in here, we seem to have gone quiet lol,

I seem to be feeling very tired again, like in 1st Tri! hope this will not last as got too much I still need to get done!

 

[Bambers]

I think we have gone quiet because we are all too tired to type lol. Can't wait to get my own body back and get some energy but most of all I can't wait until I can have my first cuddle with bubs...I really can't wait to see her.

I hope all you third tri ladies are in fine fettle. x x

 

[Fallen Angel]

Hey Ladies

Think you're right, think most of us are too tired to type lol

I'm nearly 35 weeks though and for the last week I seem to have gained some energy back, might be because I'm actually managing to sleep for blocks of between 4-6 hours just now rather than the 1.5-2hours Feels great

How are you all doing?

I'm doing grand, at midwife yesterday Banana was 1/5th engaged and other than feeling like I have a spikey pinapple stuck in my punani (sorry tmi) I feel fab

Like you Bambers, can't wait to meet Banana x
