***August 2018 Mummies***

[SarahTWD]

I’m the same this is my second and when they move it feels like something is going to fall out down there and it feels like w sudden urge to wee! I have been getting the same as you TTC the Braxton Hicks where your tummy tightens and then releases!! I’m definitely done!! I’m 39 weeks on Wednesday and tbh I thought I wouldn’t last this long!! It also gives another bloody hot week! It’s so difficult being like this with a toddler too as I can’t go out and do things as walking is so painful as baby is so low down in my pelvis and it’s too bloody hot! God know what I am going to do with her in the house all day it’s going to be horrendous!! Xx

My son is 7 and broke up on Friday, it's his second day of the holidays and he's already noted and impatient for his baby brothers arrival. We all play Pokémon Go but even that's proving difficult at the moment

I get those pains in my pelvis too. Don’t think it’s braxton Hicks - I think it’s the baby pushing down on my bladder, nerves or whatever...

Yeah I think it's him engaging further, they're really painful. I get like a shooting pain too when it happens xx

YEah the shooting pains are terrible I keep thinking my waters are going to go lol

Same! I'm supposed to have daily tinzaparin injections but they told me to hold off if I think labour could be coming. I haven't had one for 3 nights now as the pains are getting worse. Seeing MW on Tuesday so will see what she says then xx

Good luck everyone! Can’t wait to hear who is next! I actually miss being pregnant! I’ve changed from walking around the house hot with my top tooked into my bra and my bump out to walking around with my painful swollen boobs out! Nothing prepares you for being a first time mum!

 

[Mexico2014]

Awww Sarah! It is so true nothing can prepare you! But it is the most wonderful gift being a parent!! The only advice I can give is to ask for help if you need it!! I had so much help from my parents!! I don’t know how I would have got through the first few months!! Xx

 

[SarahTWD]

Definitely take help as often as you need it and get some of those gel breast pads that you can put in the fridge, they were a godsend last time for me and you actually just reminded me to get some xx

 

[Xsarahh]

So true! Omg parents are amazing! They’ve stocked the fridge full of lovely bits from M&S so everything quick and easy, some all our shopping. Has a joint of beef bought round yesterday and a lasagne this morning! well and truely spoilt! X

 

[Mexico2014]

Jesus, this baby cannot be out quick enough! SO had enough now!!! It’s too hot, I’m too uncomfortable and finding it so hard running round after 18 month old like a beached whale! I have never wished for it to be cooler and see rain!!

 

[Nivetha28]

I feel for all of you who have other children to look after, I’ve literally not been able to move more than from the sofa to the toilet these past few days! Hopefully these babies will start appearing soon! Xx

 

[Ttc1234]

SO that’s me finished work for ten months woopie. Feel quite proud of myself not one sick day being pregnant and I’ve got quite a demanding and stressful job! Now I’m 37+4 time to put my feet up and relax as much as I can with my newly turned two year old eek

 

[Mexico2014]

I worked until Friday too! So I was 38 plus 2! It’s hard going but it was ok! I think it’s harder watching the 18 month old as she’s on the go all of the time and because it’s so hot outside I cant take her out!! Just a nightmare! We seem in very similar circumstances TTC! Both team yellow both have toddlers but have stressful jobs!! Where are you from? Xx

 

[Ttc1234]

I live near Edinburgh in Scotland where are you? I feel knackered this morning so going to see if my toddler will watch a film..Hes very energetic and usually lasts 10-15’mins. Never watched a whole film yet!

Hey all im new to posting on forums, im 37 + 4 days pregnant with my 3rd, im being induced next wednesday at 38+5 due to gestational diabetes, feeling kinda nervous this time round as ive had alot of problems with this pregnancy from beginning to now, reading everyones stories puts me at ease like i can do this ive done it twice before! Its the induction part that puts me off im hoping to go into natural labour before that happens :/ keeping my fingers and toes crossed

 

[Mexico2014]

I was induced with my first Nat and it wasn’t as bad as everyone says! Well I don’t know any different!! I am having a home birth this time!! Due a week tomorrow!! Xx

 

[XxNatxX93]

I was induced with my first but i hardly remember much about it, all happened so quickly i remember having the drip in my hand to bring contractions on and was only in 5 hours labour with the help of forceps, im hoping this time round it will be all natural like my second was! And aww hope everything goes smoothly for you my due date is 10th aug! Only 9 days frm when im being induced xx

 

[Mexico2014]

I am in Somerset TTC so opposite ends of the country!!! Aww Nat I hope it’s natural for you!! Get bouncing on your ball haha xx

 

[XxNatxX93]

Haha yes i shall be doing that, ive been eating curries and walking about alot to try and help! And ooo nice place where you are! Im frm Manchester 😀 thankyou also im keeping my fingers crossed for natural! I hope also your home birth runs smoothly! Xx

 

[Mexico2014]

It’s so weird how the Midwife’s are so different basically in Somerset that won’t give you a sweep until your 7 days over then another one at 10 days then if baby is still not here then you have to be induced!! So won’t be seeing midwife again until 7-8 August unless I give birth before then!! Xx
