Hey girls hope ur all ok? Just popping in on my hols to see how everyone is doing? Mum 2b, officially mrsm and weezy saw ur bump pic they look fab! How did ur anti d go mummybear? Happy sorry ur suffering with backache I've started to get bad hip ache at night if I lie on either side for too long. It's soooo hot here about 30oc I used to be so good in the sun but not this year feel like a giant whale but getting a tan is nice feel a bit more myself again! Hope u all have a good wkend will catch up when I'm back xx

 

[HanSam]

I bet its nice getting a bit of a tan keeptrying! Very jealous.

mum2b fingers crossed all is ok then. Just such a shame your soo tired etc.

Weezy when do you finish work?

I will have to take a look at all your bump pics. Not posted any of my own - hate that i have put on so much weight and gone up dress sizeS!! x

 

[alanc]

It's nice to see a great spirit in here, despite the issues. We had midwife today and it was all good

 

[coco_cukoo]

Oh my god is anyone putting on weight so quickly after 30 weeks? It won't stop even if I have a good eating day I still wake up fatter all over. Struggling to get clothes to fit. Only 6 days left at work then I can dress like a slob hooray xx

 

[Weezy]

Nice to hear your having a lovely time keeptrying, sounds far too hot for me and I don't think I've ever said that before!! And I am absolutely sure you don't look like a giant whale so don't worry about it hun.
Hansam, I've been in maternity only clothes since 15wks so I dread to think how many dress sizes I'd have gone up..
Glad midwife went well Alanc

Yes mum2b, 38wks. Ambitious I know but I honestly believe it makes no difference if I walk/drive/sit/lie down, so unless I can't physically walk I'll stay in work. Also knowing it does baby no harm what so ever makes me more likely to power through. Stubborn cow! It's v strange as it's my first pregnancy I have nothing to compare it to. Often feel like I'm over reacting with it but also know I have quite a high pain threshold. Would just love to know what 'normal' pregnancy aches feels like.

Very sore still tonight but very happy too. Got finished work early, OH ran me a bath and made dinner then had home made apple pie, stuffed our faces watched the soaps and painted my nails.. Now heading to bed shortly

Xx

hey ladies,hope you are all well,
its stupid oclock and I'm wide awake with heartburn and hubby has just left to go play football at a proffessional stadium with some of his his old mates from school!
had my gtt done yesterday and swear its what caused my heartburn tonight with the no eating and then that foul sugary drink! Xx
will get a call tomorrow if anything is wrong x
fingers crossed its normal!
starting to struggle with how big i am now feeling so unattractive even though OH tells me all time that i look amazing and he more attracted to me than ever i cant help but feel crap! I have never suffered with celulite till now and its everywhere on my legs and bum. Though touch wood not a single stretch mark on my massive bump yet! Though i don't expect that the last much longer! I just don't feel comfortable in anything all the clothes i had to order online just don't look right on me!
sorry to have a moan girls in just having one of them days maybe once i get back to sleep i will wake up feeling better xxx

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

*hugs* I know exactly how you feel xxx

 

[mum2b410]

Morning all!

Zoe- hope u got back to sleep?..... Did u see my earlier post- feeling exactly the same about how I look, my clothes and everything! Completely get where you're coming from *hugs* Hope GTT results r fine xx

Weezy- hope you're feeling better this morning! Can c y u r aiming for 38 weeks if it makes no odds to the pain if u r at home or not!

Keeptrying- thank u! Glad u r feeling more like yourself! Enjoy rest of hols!

HanSam- I have gone up dress sizes too, put on too much weight and am generally massive! U r not alone! Xx

Coco_cukoo- yes! I am finding I need to eat more frequently and am waking up starving right now!..... Hope your last 6 days go quick

Alan- great that mw appointment went well!

Got my 32 week appointment today at 2! Fingers crossed all is ok!....... So glad its nearly the weekend and hubby is gonna b around

Happy Friday xxxx

 

[alanc]

Good luck today mum2b

 

[Zoe S]

thanks guys, i know there is a few of us feeling this way. I just hit a really low point last night. I did manage to get bk to sleep mum2b after drinking nearly a whole carton of milk! Ran out of gaviscon xx
fingers crossed i don't hear anything today from bloods xx

 

[Zoe S]

oo and good luck today mum2b xxx

 

[Happy84]

Morning guys - Happy Friday!!!
Hope you're all well!
Really starting to struggle with my back now, its about halfway down, on the right - where his head would be. Going to Google and maybe text my midwife for some tips on how to get breech baby to turn. I've spent a lot of time bouncing and rolling my hips on the gym ball.
The only relief I seem to get is lying on my back, which I know isn't good for me to do too much. I can't stand for very long [so my ironing is piling up] and I can't wait till bedtime so I can lie down in bed!! Pleeease turn baby, pleeeease!!

HanSam - Not even a bath has helped, as I can't seem to find a comfy position, I think its due to the ache being halfway down my back.

mum2b - Aw I'm sure you look fab with bump hun! Also look like Im wearing a tent in my maxi dresses - they're so comfy tho aren't they! Hope your appointment goes well today hun!!!

Weezy - Sorry you're struggling with your PGP hun - hope you get some relief soon!! Your night with your OH sounded lush!!

keeptrying - Hope you're having an amazing holiday!!!

alanc - Glad all went well at the midwife appointment!!

coco_cukoo - Ohhh Im 30 weeks this weekend, I'm not looking forward to the weight piling on fast! I already look as tho I'm full term!! People are shocked when I tell them I still have 10 weeks!! lol. Hope your last 6 days at work go nice and fast for you!!!

Zoe - How you feeling today bump buddy???


Lianne x

 

[HanSam]

Sounds like a few of us are feeling just like big fat hippos lol! ITs nice that most of your OH tell you you still look sexy etc. Mine wouldnt even comment.

Happy - have you tried laying on floor with ice pack under and then a warm bath or water bottle. Sometimes helps me with my generaly fibro that i get in my back. Also my MW has said the laying on back thing isnt backed up and is a load of rubbish. I generally sleep on my back during the night as its too painful on my hips.

Mum2b hope all goes well with MW its nice to hear heartbeat etc and get the reassurance isnt it.

Hope everyone has a lovely Friday - its lovely and sunny here in Kent. Im off to physio soon see what she says this time around x

 

[mum2b410]

Thank u all for good luck wishes! V kind! I always get a bit nervous before mw appts- in case something is wrong :-/

Zoe- glad u got back off eventually! Btw- r u getting your gavisvon on prescription?? I never knew I could as a first time mum so just thought I'd mention it as it gets so expensive to buy when u need it a lot!

Happy- no experience on breech babies and how to turn them I'm afraid- think the bouncing and being upright might b best (head must b heaviest bit and I'm just thinking of gravity helping?) Def ask your mw! Still lots of time to turn but I get u want to happen sooner rather than later- a bony head in your ribs must b no fun!

HanSam- hope physio goes well! Let us know!..... Lovely and sunny here too today

Off to London tomorrow to see a friend- forecast was 25 and rainy- horrible for a big, round, heavily pregnant women

Will update u later on appt!

Anyone got nice weekend plans?? Xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Just posted my 29 week bump pic hope your all ok. How did the physio go hansam? Mum2b ul be fine I know what I mean tho I always get nervous! Xxx

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

29 weeks today!! Mad how quick it's going. Got GTT letter back today and it's all fine and normal which is good was a bit worried about it x

 

[mum2b410]

Great news mrsm!!

Just back from mw! Everything is looking good! Iron levels r coming up and not far off baseline so will continue on the tablets, bump is measuring a bit over 33cm but not worried as it was 29cm at 28 weeks and I had a big baby first time round! His heartbeat was fine and my bp was 100/66 (so a bit low but not concerned). He is still head down but head not engaged!..... Had a good chat about hoping to give birth at mlu and mw suggested I talk to drs at my next hospital appt at 36 weeks and get them to write in my notes they r happy for that (as long as I'm not on anti depressants and iron levels stay up it should be ok!). Not going again until 36 weeks as we r on holiday but if there r any issues I can go sooner (might come home early from Cornwall if things aren't right!). So fingers crossed all continues to go well! Its the last time I will see my mw today as she is retiring in 10 days- so who knows who I'm gonna get for the last few appts! Hopefully someone nice! Xxx

 

[HanSam]

Glad you had a good appt with your mw. Fingers crossed your levels stay ok so you can go for the mlu.

Physio was ok - they barely touch you or anything but have some further exercises and another appt in 3 weeks. She can see me getting worse but the exercises i am doing at the mo along with wearing my fembrace is helping the curve of my spine as that is a big problem for me.

Good news on GTT MrsM - havent heard from mine so assuming mine is all ok also. x
