Hello ladies enjoy your break mrs ! Very brave to get on a plane

Zoe, 24 weeks quite early for baby positioning but great bub is head down already, being your 1st probably will stay this way I had a feel of my bump just yesterday and baby girl was lying across my tummy - side ways- with head on right and bottom on left, very cute, but she keeps turning around all the time!

Hope appt goes ok mum2b and happy we dont get weighed after booking so at least I don't have to go through the shame of putting on weight and anyone seeing it in black and white, but what do I expect? I had white magnum for breakfast and just had another one 5 minutes ago �� only fair the scales says what it says!

My last day in tri 2, I am so happy I made it this far now about to set off for 5 nights away with the family , have a lovely weekend everyone

Xxxxx

Hello ladies enjoy your break mrs ! Very brave to get on a plane

If it wasn't already booked and paid before I got pregnant I probably would have gone earlier in the pregnancy but hey ho it'll be a nice break

Hi all! Just a quick update on my 28 week appt- all ok, they think baby is head down and I'm measuring 29cm so not too bad at all!.... Got to get my bloods done Monday along with whooping cough jab! V relieved to say they didn't weigh me!!! I'm thinking they only do it if bmi over 30 at booking in?
Hope u all have nice weekends planned? Xxx

Glad all went well and no weigh in whoop!!

Ooh veryjealous MrsM enjoy your break. So glad its the weekend - closest thing im getting to a break for a while lol.

Just been chasing my mw as been waiting 9 weeks for physio referal!! I know it can take a while but that is a ridiculous wait x

 

[mum2b410]

That is a ridiculous wait! Do u have the number for the physio dept directly? I would b tempted to try them and cut out the middle man! X

I'm 25+5 & have been feeling baby move all over bump for a good few weeks now. But the past couple of days I've only felt movement (albeit very strong movement) down low again, nothing around the sides or top. Just really strong, almost painful kicks right down low. Any ideas??

 

[mum2b410]

Replied in your other thread hun xx

 

[Zoe S]

oh thought it was normal to be told then seen as she told me :/ hope your right mummy-midwife got a feeling i have a biggish baby she even gave me a quick measure at my last appointment but didn't say anything about it, just that they would do it at my appointment at the hospital Woop to no weighing mum2b glad all went well x

 

[mum2b410]

If they could feel bubs hun then they can tell u! They felt me at 24 weeks and said where he was (right in the middle of my tummy) just not the orientation! Did they write the measurement in your notes? Today they just said to me 'you're 28 weeks now so we can start measuring u to roughly check growth'...... It might b its different in different areas! .....Did u get those graph things printed on your scan reports? Mine has a graph for head circumference, abdominal circumference and fetal length- they have 3 lines on each ( average and upper and lower sides of normal) and there is a cross on the graph for where baby was measuring- all our measurements were on the middle line. So even though I look quite big and measuring a bit head baby wasnt big! Hope that makes sense!.... We're getting a private scan in 2 weeks where they will measure again so will b interesting to see what has changed! Xxx

Hi Zoe I've got my 30 week app at hospital too think mines coz if anti d. Only reason I'm not having it at 28 weeks is coz I'm on holiday. Has ur midwife said much about anti d to you? Have u had it before? I'm getting scared for it! Stupid I know but dr Google is not helping! Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Hey ho mrsm , I am sure you'll have a ball I am just a scary cat lol
Mum2b so nice all is looking good sand all went well at appt great about no weighing !
Zoe, 1st babies are in position a lot sooner than subsequent babies, so hopefully your little boy will just stay put! being my 3rd she could be everywhere til late on... I would have a vaginal breech anyway so as long as she is either head or bottom down then happy days
Happy I get loads of kicks down below, she can kick my bladder quite hard ��
Hansam , physios are a nightmare to get hold of here too, I have got in touch but not holding my breath I will see them before baby is born, hope you have better luck !

Loving our wee family holiday just now, exhausted with all the activities, but loving it!
Heading off to tri 3 now
Much love x

 

[mum2b410]

Yay! Will b lovely to c u over in tri 3 hun

Warm bath and a massage?? X

 

[Happy84]

Hello ladies, hope you're all well??
So, I reached 26 weeks today! Yay!
Yesterday was a bad day, Ive been struggling a bit with my anxiety and depression again, I think its stemmed from the stress of work and making the decision to go on the sick & finish for maternity early etc. I was in tears all day yesterday and just felt so down. Today is a better day though, I felt much better when I woke up, thankfully!

He's being a little fidget as usual and he's actually kicking that hard he's actually bumping the computer as I write haha!!
I posted my 25 week update on my blog if anyone fancies a read!! http://www.thebrunettesays.co.uk

Happy Sunday!!

Glad your feeling better today Lianne! Don't worry about it it's right for you and little bubs x

 

[Zoe S]

Keeptrying my midwife just said that it's to make sure I have a boost of anti D as if you have a bump to your bump it can cause anti bodies which won't effect the first pregnancy but can cause problems in your second but just helps to eliminate them so you don't have any complications next time and they will give you another after labour if you have and trauma but nothing to worry to much about as long as get the jab everything should be fine Hun x but if you have any bumps then rng your midwife they will get you in for a jab x dans away for my appointment so I'm getting my friend to come with me cause I'm slightly nervous about it all! xx

Thank you mummy-midwife hope he stays put and she put it down in my notes but here your notes are all electronic I have notes from Bulford still with baby measurements never thought to look and see sizes from my scan xx

Warm bath and a massage?? X

Hi ladies sorry I've not been around for week me and bump are fine we have just been busy getting over the hyperemisis!

I have had my tablets lowered from three a day to two, had a wobble first week but happy to say my baby seems to be used to the change.

I'm 24+4 now. Had my sexing scan, I know I said I wanted to stay team yellow but on the day daddy couldn't come as he started a new job and just couldn't make it I felt like I needed to find out n go home and tell him.

I got him a pair of booties in a gift bag and videoed him opening it he was so shocked when he saw they were blue, he carried he was so happy. Me too
He is on the biggest centile however just like my others, this one is guessing to be about 11lb!
I do have an anterior placenta but wow do I fell his movements and kicks, I'm putting it down to him being so long that I can feel them.

I only have a few midwife appointments, my anti D and glucose GTT to attend I'm gutted there are no more scans.


How is everyone doing?
