Thank u......I'm trying to have faith in it!!..... Little man seems to have gone back to back now! Grrr! Him not staying in a good position won't help things!...... I wrote RLT out of laziness- sorry! Last time mw said I could try it but after I reported bad BH from taking it she told me to stop! I think I will discuss it again this time round.
Driving is more awkward for me coz my legs r quite short- and so I have to gave the seat quite far forward but of course bump is getting in the way!!

Its good that the pool only takes a couple of days to deliver! I'm so pleased u have made it this far with her safely tucked up after all your earlier worries!
Really hope Chiro helps! Sounds like your SIJ is giving u agony! Once mine starts it normally takes 1-2 days to settle and then ok again for a little bit! Maybe they need to check your alignment and give u a support belt if u don't already have one?

God I need to chill out! Not even 37 weeks and can feel myself starting to obsess about everything and yet I've still probably got 5 weeks! I've got to calm down or I'll go mad in the near future

Hey ladies, can i join the big moan! lol

So glad it isnt just me. Im struggling soo much now with this spd, toddler and huffy hubby lol. Feel like i am going to have a breakdown. On plus side i have aqua bumps this evening which i hope will help with swelling/carpet tunnel etc.

Re BH i have a some this time around but not many the past week. But didnt get a single one with first pregnancy x

Hi hun! Moan away- we r all feeling the same right now I think!! Really feel like my hubby needs to step up a bit more now! Its getting harder and harder and I don't think he's realised yet!! I keep trying to tell him but feel guilty when I have to keep asking him to do stuff :-/

Yes i am the same. I try and do stuff and at weekends he says stop doing that and sit down and ill do it. But he doesn't and i know he doesnt mean not too but it then gets around to Monday morning and like today spent first hour or so running around sorting some bits out that i would have done yesterday. Just frustrating as if i do do too much the pain is soo excrutiating that i regret it and then rest the next day. But it isnt long before the whole house looks like a tip where i havent followed him and the toddler around clearing up lol.

Also i think because he is off to Vegas on the 27th Aug which im really worried about coping and now he has to go away on a work conference to boston early october im panicking!! Feel soo down right now x

 

[mum2b410]

Oh hun- my hubby sounds v similar. He and Ethan tend to create mess wherever they go! He can tidy up but doesn't see the mess I see!..... Sorry your OH has to go away in August and October!! Is there anyone else around to help u out at those times?? X

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Aw girls DH is the same here,keeps saying stop doing this or that and I will do it... But then the kids want to play with him (DS now wants proper football Match in the garden) etc and he is knackered or just doesn't get round to doing what he said he would. He too doesn't see the mess I see. Yesterday I sat on the bedroom floor and asked him to bring the Hoover upstairs and that was that he had to clean the bedroom , moved all the furniture around etc, then put all the washing away and ironed ! Today I phoned him to say I was in real agony and he came home early from work and is cooking now so I think he is now trying harder hopefully it will last.

Mum2b, see what you midwife says and how you feel about it I see what you mean about the driving, have no tips that come to mind sorry :/ I am obsessing too, maybe is just a normal feeling , I have pontentially 6 and bit weeks to go too so could be stressing about nothing urgent , but that is the fun part the suspense, although I would like to know date and time if I could lol I hope the chiro helps me too, she sounds very experienced in pregnancy pelvic and back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome so hopefully she will at least offer me some relief. And oh yes, cannot believe she is still in here after going to LW and being put on gas and air... Just amazing

Hansam, I too hope that you have other people around to help you when OH is away !

Kaffee , hope you are feeling better tonight? I love day time tv but when I watch Jeremy Kyle I stayed glued onto the tv as cannot not know if 'he' is the father or not, so end up watching it for longer than planned... Although with school hols the kids monopolise tv really.

All by myself for 4 days, oh at great Yorkshire show working with landlord, dog has gone to in laws until Thursday as builders here tomorrow and Wednesday. So all by myself *humph*

 

[HanSam]

Thanks ladies. Yes my mum is not too far so will be popping by etc and i am hoping his mum is coming up to stay for a few days whilst he is away for the week in vegas.

I know they just don't see it all do they! Funny enough i got a cleaner in today to just do 2 hours and asked them to concentrate on kithchen/bathrooms etc as i haven't properly cleaned them for far too long. Hubby came home and said did a cleaner come because this this and this doesnt look done i said no they didnt have time to empty your office bin etc. Think he then realised how much housework there is actually needing to be done.

Hope Chiro helps you out i know they help me for a bit.

Just got in from aqua bumps but dont think i will be able to do it for too many more weeks as baby was well and truly jumping on my bladder evertime i did anything lol.

Scary how little time so of you may have a matter of weeks. Can't come soon enough but still scary x

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey girls sounds like we are all suffering now :/ really not long left until this will be a distant memory! Just got back from antinatal and while I was there had my first definate bh!! Was so excited lol seen everyone has been saying about them and hadn't had any but they started tonight woop! Makes it feel more real like I'm coming to the end xx

 

[mum2b410]

HanSam- good u have got some extra help but I know it still sucks OH going away!

Mummy_midwife- I will chat to mw at next appt at 38 weeks. I still have my RLT tablets so I don't even need to buy any if she reckons its worth a try again! Let us know how u get on Wednesday!

Mrsm- sorry u r on your own! Maybe try and use it as an opportunity to enjoy time just to yourself before the craziness of a newborn starts? If u feel lonely there is usually always someone on pf to chat too!

Keep trying- woohoo! First bracton hicks! Enjoy- lol!..... Hope u r enjoying classes?

Tmi but think I lost a little bit of mucus plug tonight! Not really anything exciting coz I'm sure its as a result of dtd last night! Hopefully in the coming weeks my body will show signs its doing something to prepare though!

Time for sleep- should have been in bed ages ago! Hope I'm not awake at 5am again :-/

Night all xxx

Hi all just a quick update, it's been a busy few days!!! Jack Henry Kinnard was born 5.7.14 @ 11.33am!!! Weighing 2lbs 8.5oz. He is amazing he came out with a fine set of lungs on him!!! he was taken to scbu. Since then he's been doing brilliantly he's had the breathing tube taken out of his mouth and nose!! They were a bit worried he hadn't poo'd but yesterday he did!!! 💩😃!! Saw his consultant and he's very pleased with him and said he may be able to move closer to home as soon as two weeks the nurses decided as he was so small they weren't happy yo induce me on the ward so dr said c sec!! That itself was fine I'd worked my self up about it beforehand!! The canulas in my hand were the worst!! Lol got an infection in my wound but given Iv antibiotics which seem to be working!! The nurses r sooo busy here it's driving me mad all the waiting for them to treat me when I just want to be upstairs with little man!! But had our first cuddles yday which was amazing!!!! mad to think I didn't think id have an August baby after they put his date back to 2nd September and he decides to be a July baby!! But he's definitely a fighter!!! Will promise to catch up with what's been going on with you all when I get a chance!!! xx

Can you count baby hiccups as movement? Baby has missed his usual late night and early morning moving periods and all Ive felt is hiccups. Just drank a pint of cold water and away to lie on left side to see if he wakes up x

 

[HanSam]

Congrats Baby Bear such lovely news. Glad to hear all is going well sounds like a strong boy. Lovely to hear from you x

 

[Zoe S]

Wenchytoots- if you don't have any normal regular movements after lying down call your mw Hun better to be on safe side xx
