**** April 2015 Mummies ****

I'm back to feeling nauseous not sure whether I'm over doing it on the tidying the house front but I feel bloody rotten at the moment. It doesn't help that I seem to have a really active and strong baby, as whenever he moves and kicks out the nausea feels 10x worse as long as he is kicking and squirming! Of course I wouldn't change it for that world as I already love my son and just want him to be happy and healthy. I guess I just need a bit of a whinge. Sorry ladies! Xx

 

[Rooster30]

Oh noo. So sorry to hear about your nausea I have heard horror stories of MS returning for Tri 3 but I REALLY hope this doesn't happen to any of us!

What is everyone up to today? We're off to take our son for a little splish splash at the swimming pool this morning, then may see if the OH will let me sneak in an afternoon nap later. I'm definitely starting to get more and more tired these days.

 

[Prettypee]

My tiredness is definitely back- today is tidying house and finishing nursary before in laws come over for dinner.

I've had a couple random nausea days but it seems to not be constant like it was in tri 1.

Sigh my feet are so itchy right now I want to chop them off!

 

[Aimee84]

My tiredness is back too all of a sudden I need to nap again in the afternoon.

I'm staying team yellow

 

[Em91]

Hi all! I'm officially joining you over here now, at 27 weeks! Can sympathise with those who's tiredness it back! Gotta love tri 3 for that!
Have you been checked for OC prettypee?
Thinks are fairly quiet here! We're slowly starting to get sorted, I've got my 28 week bloods this week ready for 28 week appt next week. Still waiting for my Appt with SOM to come through!
We've got our 3d scan on the 24th! So thats the next big thing to look forward to! Check baby is still blue!

 

[Rooster30]

Everything really picks up in Tri 3. I know I'll be really busy with midwifes/consultants/scans come the final 14/13 weeks of this pregnancy. I can't wait to see baby again though (on the 28th) and I have a MW appointment on the 17th. It's all go-go-go, no wonder everyone gets tired for Tri 3!

I've updated the front page for Aimee and Em91 :-D

I've still another week and a half to go before i'm officially Tri 3. Booo.

 

[Prettypee]

Em- I haven't checked for OC yet - I have a midwife appointment on Wednesday so I figured it could wait until then. I have a blood test friday as well so I assume levels could be checked in.that lot of bloods?

 

[cossie13]

So the nausea turned out to be the norovirus. Woo hoo. Spent all of yesterday throwing up anything that hit my stomach including water. I feel really dehydrated today but at least I can keep water down and I've called in sick to work because I simply just don't feel like being there. All the retching I did yesterday I think I've pulled a muscle in my chest and back as I've got some pain going on in my upper body.

I've got my 28 week appointment Friday, hopefully I should be feeling much better by then!

 

[CDx]

Hope you are feeling better Cossie that sounds awful!
I've had a sinus infection for about a week but the nasal spray I was prescribed seems to be doing its job so hopefully I will be back to feeling normal soon.
My MIL is doing my head in, she stays 3 hours away and is probably not as involved in this pregnancy as she would like to be but it was her choice to move, we were at a family party on Saturday night and mentioned to a few people my mum and cousin want to plan a baby shower and it's probably going to be the 14th of March so keep the date free and we will confirm when I know more because I really know nothing about it but apparently we do and that's just a cop out saying other people are planning it we just aren't keeping her involved. We spoke about it the last time she was down and my mum told her she would get in touch when plans are finalised. The day after is mothers day and although me and my OH weren't too fussed about another scan we had just been talking about booking a 3d scan for mothers day and taking both our mums then having lunch afterwards since she would be here...now I'm like screw you you'll get a bunch of flowers. I am seriously annoyed!!

 

[Rooster30]

Oh gosh You poor thing. I'd definitely take a couple of days off to recover and rehydrate. Have a duvet day

 

[Rooster30]

CDx, I having continuing issues with my MIL. Throughout this pregnancy she has spoken unkindly about me behind my back. I don't know what it is about some MILs but some seriously aren't ever happy?! I haven't had to deal with her for the past month as she has been out of the country. The in-laws are visiting this Saturday and I have a MW appointment - I have a feeling that this is not going to go down well!

 

[CDx]

Aw no hope the visit goes well! I dont get it either as if we arent doing enough to get their grandchild here safely they feel they have the right to have a nag and moan. We have got rid of our spare bed to prep baby's room I feel a bit awful saying this but that means next time she is down she will need to make alternative arrangements and stay elsewhere. I mentioned looking into getting a sofa bed in passing and she keeps going on about it but I really can't be dealing with night feeds and having to creep about because someone is on the sofa in the living room so that won't go down well when we say we aren't getting one.
I think she regrets moving to be nearer her partners grandchildren now that we are expecting but like my OH says it was her choice and she can't complain she's not involved. We have been together 7 years so she knew this would happen one day.

 

[lizziimayy]

Has anyone used the pessary thrust tablet and have any idea how long it takes to dissolve? It feels so weird and I feel like I've been violated!

 

[CDx]

I've never heard of it but doesn't sound too pleasant hopefully you feel more comfortable soon.

 

[cossie13]

Yeah I have. I think it took up to an hour or something like that. They're not the most pleasant things to use but good news is they do work!!

 

[Rooster30]

Reflux is returning for me, yay! I suspected it might as I went further along. Currently trying to hold tea in but it keeps trying to gain entry back into my mouth

I got a letter re. my MW appointment today - it says it is going to take up to an hour and a half!! My care has been transferred to a hospital out of the county I live in so going through the whole booking in process again, and I'm assuming my current maternity notes will be thrown away. I don't mind going, it's just happening when my in-laws turn up - now this would usually mean ESPECIALLY good timing but since my MIL hates me and thinks I'm a dreadful host, this isn't very good for me! I bet this will bite me bum later down the line when she takes up another issue with me.

 

[cossie13]

Oh rooster, you don't seem to be having an overly good time during your pregnancy. Be it sickness or MIL. If it helps my MIL seems to be insistent that I'll be breastfeeding and keeps going on about having a separate room in their house to feed in and buying me a nursing chair etc. I'm of course going to attempt BF but I'm not going to force it. If I can't after a weeks or do be it because baby won't or because it's too exhausting then I'm going to bottle feed. I'm going to take each day as it comes which I don't think she's overly happy with! But for the sake of my OH I just nod and smile at her and then have discussions with OH when she's not around about the way we both want to do things and we usually agree with each other which is really good.

Anyway, sorry for the mini rant and I hope you manage to survive your MIL rooster!

 

[Rooster30]

I just think MILs like to be in control of everything! I hope i'm not like this when my son gets married! I just don't get how MIL issues seem to happen to so many people! Where do these women come from?!

We'll see how this weekend goes. She never says anything to my face, if anything is said, it'll probably be whilst i'm out at my MW appointment!

 

[Prettypee]

I don't have a MIL so I don't have to deal with those issues- the fil girlfriend can get a bit annoying but that's just because she has opinions on everything and doesn't actually listen to me or consider my opinions at all. It's not all the time but enough to irritate me!

 

[Rooster30]

99 days until due date! Eeeeeek!
