10 WEEKS COUNT DOWN... any1???

[Keely]

Hi Hayley

You poor little petal!!! Cheer up angel, at least you get the house to yourself, you can just slob about eatting and watching BB!

Sending you a big hug......

Well 7 weeks left for my now! .... I am also in sooooo much pain when i walk, midwife told me yesterday his head is 4/5!! OWWWW

Trying to pack today as i am moving next sat!! .... but have to keep sitting down!! luckly i am off work today and monday so nice 4 day wkend for me.

I have started to get very scared of coping with a new born. I am planning to breast feed and found out last tuesday that you cant really express for 3-6 weeks once the breast feeding has been established, son this means i will be doing every night feed for the first 3 or so weeks!!

Does this mean i will not be gettin more then 2-3 hours sleep in one block!!!! I am so scared cos i am a moody bitch when over tired!!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[hayley_17]

aww thanks hun! im ok now but im so emotional right now, everything makes me cry lol yeh thats all ive done all morning watch tv and eat loads... my mum got sky in my bedroom so i can just lay in bed and watch tv!! have to come downstairs for the comp though... thats all i need now lol

wow ur moving soon bet u cant wait!! we might be moving a few weeks after the baby is born only a few hours away in a different part of germany! my dads getting a new job!

i keep getting scared of coping with a newborn, im going to try and breastfeed but to be honest dont no if ill be comfortable doing it, will try though it doesnt feel real 2 me and i dont feel like in a few weeks ill be a mummy

im scared about the sleep thing too, i suffer from migraines and they get really really bad when i dont get enough sleep am sure u will cope though, ul be a fantastic mummy

Hiya,
Im just 29 weeks but still an august mummy(2). I too am worried about the breasfeeding as I couldnt do it first time round and want to try again this time but my baby will probably be bigger than the 9lb 3oz jess was. Arrrggg. Jess was just toooo hungry to wait for me to get the hang of bf.

Im really getting uncomfy. Im only 5ft and quite big. I am usually quite active but running around after Jess is taking it right out of me. And we both have a wee cold so she isnt sleeping right and im not sleeping well anyway so im a bad tempered shit. Dh is taking all the flack and is going away this weekend to a stag so im not happy about that either. In general im not a happy chappy.

I should get a section round about august 10th.

prickly, thats a lovely bump
hayley, thats great having sky in your bedroom, im pushing for multiroom as well
keely, your brave moving, i can hardly pack my bag for work in the morning without forgetting something.

everyone else, (i didnt read right the way back) hope you are all well.

It's officially ten weeks today to go for me!

I still feel really small, just look fat not pregnant, I'm suffering with bump envy! Apaprently babba is laying right against my spine (hence agony with hips and buttocks - sleep is a distant memory!), MW had to dig right into my side to find heartbeat and bumps constantly on the move, the head or bum, can't tell which is now sticking out of the right side of me, it is the strangest thing, I'm all lopsided!

At what point should babba settle down (I know it can all change at the last min, but would like to establish if I'm normal!!!!

Cheers m'dears!

[hayley]

[hayley_17]

omg cant believe im 32 weeks now!! it still seems to be going sooo fast, i thought it would have slowed down by now!! really not very long now and im getting so scared but i cant wait 2 meet my little man at the same time... if that makes sense lol

ive been feeling similar 2 you all... big, fat & ugly i woke up last night in a cold sweat... it was horrible i didnt even feel hot

its so weird, i have more stretchmarks on the left side of my body than the right they are only really little and arent bad but at the mo i feel awful about myself and they just make me feel worse im hoping this stage will pass!!

ive been getting bad pelvis pains, they are awful... im ok though apart from all that lol feel like all i do is moan now lol

hope everyone is ok xxx

Well i've got 7 weeks to go now and it still can't come quick enough!

Have been weeing all the time , have achy boobs a little and was on crutches after the weekend but i've managed to get myself off them which i'm really pleased about as they really made my hands itch! Have been feeling sick in the mornings too again which isn't suposed to happen - thought i'd got over that in the 1st/2nd tri's!

SPD still playing up although i'm resting lots this week as its half term and I think ive only got 4 weeks left at work after this! Yippee!

Apart from that, like the rest of you i'm still feeling fat, and ugly and am quite looking forward to having my waist back although if its anything like the first time, its still far far away from that. Also got my first new strethmark today which i'm not in the slightest bit happy about (see my post in 3rd tri!)

Still not felt any Braxton Hicks though. Don't know if everyone fels them or not but I didn't with my first either???

Still haven't moved yet either and we were supposed to exchange last week which didn't happen so haven't got a clue when its going to happen noe. I just want to get in and settled into my lovely new house before baby makes an appearance!

Decided this week that i'm goin g to try and be a model mummy (yeah right!) Not in the looks sense but am going to try really hard at breast feeding this time and also use reusable nappies! There are so many to choose from though but some of the girls have been greta with advice etc on here. Anyone else planning to this?

Hope you're all well and sorry for going on! Be back with more news next week!!!

Hey everyone

Im feeling much much better!! Saw the midwife today... she told me that my little man is still breech... hes really stubborn... my mum said he takes after me lol she really reassured me about everything... although she did just say that my pelvis pain was just because he is getting heavy and his bum is pushing down on me.

When she was feeling my belly she said... 'ooo hes a good size isnt he' i didnt think anything of it at the time but now im scared im going to have a 9lber or something lol I don't feel very big but maybe i am

She also prescribed me more iron tablets she never told me how low my iron was when i had my blood test 4 weeks ago but i looked on my notes and it was 9... at my booking in appointment it was 13.2!! is 9 really low for iron levels?? i finish my current course tomorrow and i asked if my iron would be ok after that and she was shocked that i finished them tommorrow, apparently i should have got more than a months worth of tablets!! so im getting another two weeks worth which will take me up until i see her again!

Im feeling so much better and really cannot wait 2 have my little boy not too long now hehe

Hope everyone else is feeling ok

Tan,

I have been looking into it too, even found a nappy hire and laundry service which costs £10, not sure if I can get my head around the idea of using nappies that have prob been used by somebody else but seems like a practical idea, for a tenner a week you get nappies, liners and wraps and they are dropped off and collected, no washing great! Works out similar price to buying decent disposable ones. Link attached if you are interested:

Hi girls,

Hows everyone feeling?

I had a bit of a show on monday night, i felt fine after it no pains or anything so i didnt bother getting it cheaked out, to be honest didnt want anyone poking about up there so thought id see what happened and im still here so it was obviously nothing!

Mentioned it to the MW today and she said it is a good sign as it means that my cervix is probably softening! Anyway all went well today, blood pressure and everything is fineand measurements where spot on again which is good! Baby is still laying across tho, she doesnt seem to want to move yet , we are hoping she does before the birth!

I have my growth scan a week on wednesday (14th) so we will see what happens then, if all goes well then i have to see the MW again at 38 weeks and hopefully baby will be head down then!

Anyway hope everyone is well, ill post again after scan

 

[hayley]

good news kelly - looks like baby might make an appearance sooner than you think.

Tan those nappies sound brilliant - out of my area! and i've bought 5 packs of newborn disposables now! DH would love me to use terry towellings.. although they sound too much hard work! i'd definately think about that service thou if it was in my area..

i'm feeling sorry for myself!!! my feet are killing me. I have lower back ache. I can't walk far without needing to pee or sit down because i get a stitch and my feet kill.. i'm still in my heels (i know... i shouldn't be) but i'm so used to wearing a heel.. flats hurt more... I'm wearing a sturdy wedge with an ankle fasten so they're secure and there's no chance i'll go over on them.. i don't walk much so i thought i'd be okay in them... i'm fed up of struggling to pick things up of the floor... (at the moment i keep dropping things too!) My pins and needles (hands) are doing my head in... i can't grip anything or lift anything heavier than a cup of tea. Holding a tooth brush or putting my make up on hurts my hand!!! every day things... I'm fed up of feeling sticky and clammy... i'm so worried about getting stretch marks i coat myself in lotion 2 to 3 times a day... my clothes and underwear are stuck to me... and i'm fed up of my off white sport bra's and big knickers... i'm bought so many sports bras but they go off colour quite quickly... i feel fat and ugly...

have to say thou.. had some good sex this morning!

sorry to go on and on.... but i'm so fed up being pregnant... keep thinking.. if babies comes 4 weeks early - everything should be okay! and i'll only be pregnant for another 4 weeks and 1 day.. i sound selfish now don't i? wishing the baby to come early....

[gemza]

Not at all i feel the same, it's hard work!!! I've just noticed we're due on the same day too. Hope you'll feel a bit better tomorrow

 

[Kelly G]

I feel the same too now Hayley, It wouldnt be half as bad if the weather wasnt so warm! I try not to venture out far now! Doing the school run twice a day is an effort for me lol!

I thought id feel a lot better when i finished work, but i dont! Its not been too bad so far as DF had a week off when i 1st left then brooke was off school for a week! Now she has gone back today and DF is at work at 12 im wishing he could stay at home with me all day i seem to really miss him when he's at work!

I keep telling myself only 5 weeks left! We have our growth scan a week on wed but im not getting my hopes up for them starting me off early as im sure she is growing fine, eveything feels so different movement wise this time!

Hayley i agree with you on the disposable nappy thing, i dont think i could cope with terry nappies! My sister used then with my nephew and when ever i had him i had to use a disposable because i just couldnt get it on lol!

Anyway babble over now, speak again soon!

 

[hayley_17]

Hey everyone

Im 33 weeks now cant believe it lol its gone sooo fast!!

Since late last week ive got this awful rash on my hands... looks like an allergic reaction & ive had it before but its got alot worse this time. i used calamine lotion before and it worked but now its not doing anything ive stopped using soap on my hands and am washing up with rubber gloves on but it hasnt got any better yet... we dont usually have to wash up but the dishwasher died 2 days after my mum & dad went on hol on the 26th... so typical!! its really driving me crazy, is sooo itchy!!

My mum & dad get back on friday & i really cant wait. Im at home with my brother and he is driving me mad!! Still all that the midwife said the baby 'is a good size' i dont really no what she means but i keep having nightmares that i have a big 9lber lol

I do feel alright in myself most of the time but when im having a stressed and emotional moment i just cry and cry because i feel like i was awful 2 my dog the other day... since my mum & dad went he hasnt wanted 2 sleep on his own (he sleeps downstairs in the kitchen) and he has just cried loads every night, some nights i let him sleep upstairs which was a big mistake. on friday i tried so hard to get him 2 sleep in the kitchen but he wouldnt. i was so tired and i shouted at him. afterwards i just sat and cried cuz i felt awful and even now i still feel awful it might sound silly but its just my emotions.

Im really scared that im going to be a bad mum and shout at my little boy... i no it sounds stupid and everyone probs feels like this sometimes but after shouting at my dog i just feel like im such a bad person

I feel exactly the same as you Hayley (must be a Hayley thing ) In a way i kind of hope i have to have a cesarean because ill have it at 38 weeks. i would love to have him naturally but right now im so sick of being pregnant and although i dont want him to come now, i want him to come soon. i feel like one big stretchmark lol even though my stretchmarks are really small they seem to be turning up everywhere i think ive said goodbye to my bikini body forever

God ive gone on for ages lol soz 2 bore you all!! just needed a good moan, get it out of my system

I've just realised I missed my 6 week update so thought i'd pop on and do my 'nearly 5 weeks to go' post!

Not too bad down here but struggling loads with the heat and having a 3 year old to keep occupied! I am constantly feeling dehydrated no matter how much I drink and started feeling sick a bit more again now.

Got all excited earlier cause I thought i'd had my show but now thinking it was maybe just a heavy discharge Have been having loads of Braxton Hicks aswell but I only ever seem to feel them on my left hand side!

Had a really crappy week at work last week so decided on Friday that I would tell a little white lie and go on leave there and then! I said it was for health reasons (which did have something to do with it with the SPD etcbut was mainly to much stress and crap at work and thats not good when your pregnant!) so i'm a freee woman now! I'm just washing through all my new baby clothes and my bits for the hospital and am going to start my nappies on their wash through in a bit! (Got Tots Bots ones in the end and they're so cute!) I have a a feeling that the next 5 weeks will go slowly now though cause I can't wait to meet our little girl!

Still no date on moving house though . We were told the other day that the estate agents had made a mistake and the chain wasn't complete so DH had a bit on a slanging match with the silly cow and told her to get someone above us to move into rented accomodation or we'll pull out! She managed to convenientlly find someone to do that and we are now looking at 2 weeks ish but its getting a bit too close for comfort now! I don't know how i'm going to cope if the weather stays like this!

Anyway, thats enough of my waffling. Hope you're all doing ok.

Hi,

Well tomorrow only 2 weeks for me.......but i'm hoping she may make an early appearence.

I'm also feeling the heat Tan......and yesterday it just was too warm for me, had a splitting headache i think from dehydration and last night had the worst night just could'nt sleep and was too warm.....feeling shattered today.

I'm too looking out for my show everyday, hoping i will get one.......but like you just heavy discharge.

Good for you finishing work Tan, i bet you feel alot happier and less stressed now your off........you should chill and relax!!

Hope you get your moving date soon......in the mean time enjoy washing your little girls things!!!

Hope everyone else is well!?

Hi everyone,

not long for us girls now, (god i feel like i say that everytime i post on here lol)

Well 4 weeks tomoro for me! Gettin a bit fed up now mainly with the heat, didnt sleep a wink last night, im so tired!

DF and i took Brooke to the park yest and i must have spent too much time in the sun as after a while i started to feel faint and threw up everywhere ! Felt like id ruined it a bit for Brooke and i kept apologising to her and DF for throwing up! We had only been there an hour so i felt a little bad!

We got Brooke another kitten yest, we have 1 cat (Toby) who has just turned a year old and we got Molly yest she is about 8 weeks she is lovely but very timed, she also keeps crying for her mum which is heart breaking, we cant understand it as Toby wasnt like this at all! DF and i think they have let her go too early as they said she was still suckling from her mum on sat, surely they should keep her with mum untill she has stopped suckling? We are going to give her a couple of days and if she doesn't settle we will take her back to her mum for a bit!

Anyway we have our next growth scan on wed at 10.20 so i will be on sometime in the evening to let you know how it went!

Here's me praying that she has turned and is now head down !

 

[hayley]

kelly i didn't know yoru little girl was still breech.. what have they said about that? let us know how you got on today and if she's turned..

Mine is still breech.. i'm hoping he/she has turned thou as i really don't want a c section.. been feeling a lot of gymnastic movements so fingers crossed when i go for my anti natal next week...

well 6 weeks and 6 days to go - and counting evey one of them... the heat seems to have given us a break here... it's started raining.. i've just stood outside in my bear feet... don't care what i look like either... ankles are coming back.. the skin on my feet now look baggy - they blew up so much over the weekend...

my lower back gets a bit stiff when i've been sitting down for long or lying.. takes me a few moments to straight up! can't stand for longer than 10 mins either - think the extra weight is killing my poor feet.. my instep isn't very high - so i don't know if that has a big part to play... but after 10 mins i'm like an old woman.... i'd sit on the floor if i had to - can't see it going down well in sainsburys...

my nursery is coming on.. begining to look like a babies room... and not a dump! my furniture came sat from MFI - all flat packed so my dad is puting it together for us... DH is hopless at things like that!

Finished my hospital bag... costs a bloody fortune! been picking things up each week... all those little things add up - tooth brush, paste, body lotion and lipsol, nice smellies (that i probably wont use) 2 pairs of pj's and 2 big nite shirts. slippers, towels and breast pads etc etc... need to do the babies bag now!

Off work this week - going away tomorrow for a few days! just me and DH - off to a nice posh hotel to be spoilt...

3 more weeks then at work and thats it...
