Thanks rooster! Happy 29 weeks. Welcome to 3rd tri Sarah.

Haha, my weeks do feel like they are speedin up now. I'm excited and nervous at the same time now. Every morning I wake up looking for contractions, but nothing so far. Have dr appt tomorrow so will see if he tells me its gonna be awhile yet again. I've been feeling alright lately so I'm not in any particular hurry ATM. Whenever baby is ready is fine with me.

Want to see a piccy Sarah!!

Good here...just counting down the days. Been an alright week, heartburn manageable and been sleeping better. Though I seem to be tired all the time. Poor ds. I have no energy to play with him. He likes to play chase me and all I can do is waddle after him lol
He has figured this out so when he wants me to catch him he just stops so I can waddle up to him.

Oh bless him!! Thats so cute that hes figured that out and lets you catch up!!

So glad that youve had an easier time with the reflux and with getting some sleep. I cant believe its two weeks tomorrow and youll be full term. I dont see you going that far though. I think he will come within the next 10 days¬ x

hope you are right! would like to have him a bit early. my mil is going on vacation right on my due date so if go that long she won't get to meet him before she leaves.

Oh thats pants timing!! mind you, Im sure I read that if you were early with your first then its more likely youll be early with any subsequent. He will come before she leaves I am sure!

Happy 38wks mummybear!! x

Hi girls, I can't imagine looking after a two year old and being pregnant!
I have terrible heartburn, was vomiting acid the other night...not nice! Rubbish with my portion control...need to eat little and often! Not loads and all the time!
Sarah don't be nervous about a bump pic! I'm sure yr glowing! Xx

I wish! I havent glowed at all in pregnancy. Ive come to the conclusion that for me, the glow is going to remain a myth lol. I think its all the toilet diving and the weight loss. Im still dropping weight rather than putting any on

Happy 29wks hun! x

i always say the so called pregnancy "glow" is just oily skin from pregnancy

Haha love it!! My sister once said I was glowing..I said it was sunburn from the rays reflecting off the bottom of the toilet x

Maybe hes lulling you into a false sense of security chick and then the contractins are going to hit you like a freight train when you least expect it! x

Im dreading hitting that stage..being a first timer I bet im going to be getting super excited at every little twinge, even when its wind!! I suppose thats the good thing about already being a bum..you know what to look out for

 

[sarahuk]

So my friend whos a few days behind me was worried that her baby wasnt growing because she sonly put 5lbs on since getting pregnant. So I weighed myself and im still 2 stone (28lbs) lighter than I was when I fell pregnant, and I havent lost or gained since my last weigh in with the midwife at 16wks. I never knew getting pregnant could be such an effective diet! x

 

[rooster100]

That's mad Sarah! You have kept 28 lbs off and I have added 28lbs!

I do know more what to look for but the first time I had the bloody show day before then the next day contractions started and weren't what I expecte at all. I thought I just had indigestion till a friend of mine told me I was probably in labor. My stomach never tightened like all books and women described. I had non stop menstrual like cramps, just like AF was coming on, then every so often if get what I can only describe as a stabbing like pain that seems to roll through my stomach top to bottom. I think I was in denial about it cause it wasn't at all what I was expecting. I've heard that second labor can be totally different so its making me a bit paranoid. But I'm trying to relax about it too because its not like he's just gonna fall out....I'll know when it's time....and you will too!

Oh wow! Pregnancy agrees with you haha.
Drs measure your fundal height to see if baby is growing properly. Each visit they should do that up till about 32-36 weeks as after that point its not very accurate anymore. Also, most drs can tell how baby is growin just by looking at and/or feeling your belly. Weight doesn't necessarily indicate anything, though with weight loss or slow gain they will likely just pay a bit more attention.

Hi girls, went to the maternity hospital today. Just for my check. Waiting 2 hrs for a 2 min check up! Baby fine. Feel very abandoned. Not going back for 4 weeks. Never have had a GTT test, never had my bump measured etc x

 

[sarahuk]

Tina thanks so much for describing how your first labour was! Its good to hear how it feels for different people to keep an eye out for these things when its my turn!

They dont do the GTT test for everyone unless theres a family history, raised bmi etc. I gotta do my week long blood measuring again soon...not looking forward to that!

 

[moter98]

rooster, i hate checkups cause i know i will always sit there for at least an hour. then when i meet with the dr he sits and talks about stuff i really have no interest in....i just want to know if i've dilated at all and he goes on and on about other stuff, lol!
maybe the fundal height measurements are just done in US? they measured mine starting week 20 and stopped week 32. its really no big deal as they can tell how you are growing just by feeling for your uterus. i've not had a gtt test either.

just remember it can be different for everyone, but when you are in active labor, you will def know it!

 

[moter98]
