Thinking of you lianne. Such a hard time x

Mum2b im also struggling getting back to sleep last few nights i have resorted to putting the tv on after an hour of lying there!! Argh so tiring along with our toddlers!

I might be mad but attempting a beach trip today. Thought it was a good idea but have a very emotional toddler today who appears to be 2 going on 12!!!

Bump is very active at the moment not sure why but assume all is good.

I have no idea how you guys are all still working, although if in an office with a/c that might be a godsend with this hot weather. Im using ice creams as my a/c haha not helping with the weight gain oops x

Hi everyone!

Have messaged you Lianne sorry again to read about your grandad. I managed to work out the blog.I really enjoyed reminiscing and realised how far we have all actually come from the positive pregnancy test.
I will post a link in my signature for my blog, its like a diary really so may not be interesting to other people.

Have been stressing over money but need to chill put my other half says. We have booked a week away in a caravan kids are really looking forward to it as am I so think I will start my maternity that week 28th July.

Love the sun we are finally getting but hating the humidity.

So what are we all looking forward to? I don't really have anything no hospital appointments or midwife not until 32 weeks so quiet on the baby front

Keeptrying- maybe bump has dropped and its baby lower now pressing on your bladder making u pee so much?!..... Ive not been too bad at night- usually once at the mo but I know it will get worse!

Enjoy your last few days though hun!

Aww it's so easy to get attached to something, I was sad when we had to give away my little girls pram too.
I think this time will be harder knowing it's likely to be my last baby.

Keeptrying- I am constantly at the loo and through the day I feel like I'm about to pee sometimes, get to the loo and nothing! He is probably bouncing on my bladder.

Have started my pregnancy blog if anyone is interested. Www.mummybears.blogspot.co.uk

It's my first time doing it but hopefully some mummy's to be might find things in there they like. I'm becoming a bit addicted actually I want to blog about everything

 

[HanSam]

Yup made it to the beach. The sea breeze was a welcome relief plus and ice cream and slush puppy hehe. Feel absolutely shattered now - hopefully i will sleep better.

Im going to the loo tons day and night at moment.

Yes keeptrying the weather is lovely here in kent. not quite the 35 you have but that would be waaay to hot lol.

Mum2b hard letting things like that go. But new advenutures to be had. I still have my old one in the loft - undecided what to do x

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Had mw appointment and turns out I have a long lanky above average baby with a normal sized head :-/ bump is 30cm at 29+4. Had whooping cough jab while I was there and it turns out I need the anti D but the hospital didn't do the bloods at 28 week appointment despite doing my GTT!! So now I have to go to nurse on Monday to have them done. mw tried to do them but was hopeless so I have to go back. Still got bruise from GTT and now I have another one from MW. I look like I belong in a drug den. Didn't even know anything about the anti D injection and wasn't sure what it was til I googled and it turns out I need it....... Cheers for the info stupid mw

 

[coco_cukoo]

Had 32 week consultant appt yesterday to discuss delivery & they booked me a c sec for 4th August - all very real now & pooping my pants but kinda relieved it should be calm & no mad labour like last time

3 days left at work as I have loads of leave to take and then nearly a year off woohoo!

Sorry to hear about your grandad Lianne - that must be doubly tough when pregnant with our hormones

Looking forward to new series of one born every minute tonight!!! Xx

 

[Weezy]

Hi keeptrying, nice to hear from you Deffo don't envy you in that heat I'm struggling here in 20 degrees lol.. Usually I'm a heat freak and can't get enough of the sun. I'm massive and bump is really low, friends have started guessing how early I'm going to pop! And absolutely yes on the wee'ing front, I'm setting up camp in the loo soon lol.
Lunch with OH sounds lovely mum2b something we really don't do enough of
Hansam beach shoulds lovely!

How's everyone doing on the boob leakage?
I had a squeeze in the bath yesterday and got the shock of my life when something came out.. Colstrum (sp?) I think it's called.. How lovely

Xx

 

[Weezy]

Ps I am still not brave enough for OBEM... xx

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

If I squeeze it comes out or if I lay on my boobs with my arms on then if that makes sense but no leakage without forcing it

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey officially mrsm I have got my anti d on Monday and not looking forward to it!! Let me know how it goes xx

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Hey officially mrsm I have got my anti d on Monday and not looking forward to it!! Let me know how it goes xx

God knows when I'm gunna get it as I don't even know when my blood results will come back. Let me know if it's awful or not

 

[keeptrying14]

Just don't google it I made that mistake and the size of the needle came up :/ I'm a massive wos as it is!! Think ur bloods come bk pretty quick my mw did them and said u would hear the next day if there was a problem. Il let you know how it is :/ u do have to go to hospital for it too and I hate hospitals!! God knows how I'm going to cope with birth lol x

 

[Mummy bear]

Anti D is fine ladies. I've had one in my bum before with the other two and it stung a little but nothing massive. This time I had my bloods taken from my arm the they injected the Anti D through the same tube. Didn't feel a thing and there aren't any side effects.

Dr rang Monday my bloods show I'm low on iron so have been given tablets.

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

Hello ladies glad I'm not the only one dying in this heat. It's horried. Don't worry about the anti d it's just a stingy one dosnt really hurt. I've had more of them than I care to count. Can't believe I'm 29 weeks time is flying by xxx

 

[mum2b410]

Well the buggy went! Felt better than expected actually- end of one era and start of another!!

Just watched OBEM- makes it all feel v real watching and knowing that will b us soon!

HanSam- glad the beach was good! Hope u sleep well!

Mrsm- that is rubbish about mw and that they didn't take your 28 week bloods!! V annoying!

Weezy- thanks hun- lunch was lovely ...... I haven't squeezed my boobs to really tell! Get dry white stuff each day and did have to wear breast pads for a bit when I was feeling a bit 'sticky' but that settled!

Mummy bear- Hope u get on OK with the iron tablets and levels come up again! Mine were almost back at baseline last week so feeling reassured its doing its job!

Struggling to get comfy tonight! Pelvis is aching and I think I'm really over tired after last night :- / Fingers crossed I drift off soon- if bubs will let me that is!!! X

 

[Mummy bear]

4am, Baby is having a little party in there keeping me awake. To be fair I don't feel like I've slept all night, I have been so Uncomfy the back, pelvis and leg pain is really bad I think it's when I've done more hours at work standing up hairdressing rather than the days sat down doing nails it seems worse. Hopefully will get the referal for the Physio soon.

 

[Kaffee]

Morning ladies, sounds as if were all suffering from the heat and the constant need to wee.

Had another really painful leg cramp last night, anyone else getting these. They're not like normal cramps, they bring me to tears. Read online that I've got to eat lots of bananas and do leg stretches before bed.

Lots of friends talking about doing 30day shred and dieting on Facebook, making me feel like a whale. A colleague said yesterday that one of her team members had asked her "is Kath pregnant?", so till now they've been thinking I look fat! Hey ho, a whole year to diet before next summer, though have a wedding in feb so that will be my first goal.
