***August Mummies Final Hurdle! ***

Anyone else feel really tired? From the moment I wake up I have no energy and feel sleepy all day? x

 

[Summergurl]

Hopefully the anti sickness tabs start to work for you roxy.
Mictho yes I'm beginning to get really tired again now.

I was told this morning of somebody who a friend knows who gave birth in the night at 35 weeks. That's pretty scary were all so close to that point! It really could be any time couldn't it!

 

[flexilexi394]

Roxy that is great news - Now hopefully you can function like a normal human for the remainder of your pregnancy lol!

Mictho I am PERMANENTLY in a zombie like state - I just want to sleep. I have good sleeps at night considering I am the size of a whale and pee all the time, and I also nap quite a bit in the day but really struggle to wake up from a nap! I have just finished work, and I want to go to sleep now for the night! We have cinema tickets booked for an early birthday celebration for me and I just want to sleep lol. It is really hard.

Summergurl - this is the thing, people can literally go into labour any time now, it is a ticking time bomb. Someone my friend knows just spontaneously went into labour at 32 weeks and had a 5lb baby, who went home the week later. It is crazy that literally any of us at any time could just pop! I do sort of wish I could go early but I doubt I will be that lucky.

xx

 

[Mictho29]

I'd like to be early or at least on time but my daughters were 12 and 4 days late so not holding my breath lol x

 

[flexilexi394]

Lol you never know though! I spoke to a lady today who's first was 2 weeks early then her second was 2 weeks late! They just come when they decide I guess! My daughter was born on her due date so I have high expectations lol -I went into labour that morning was brilliant I had her by 5pm that day! xx

 

[fcroxy]

Mictho I'm always tired too. Only woke for 1 wee last night which is amazing and slept like a log but still exhausted today.

I've got an odd pain at the top of my bump, just below my boobs on the right hand side. Like a burning pain and also feels numb when I'm laying down. I'm guessing its baby pushing on a nerve or something as baby has felt pretty high for the last few days, like under my ribs. So uncomfortable x

 

[flexilexi394]

Urgh how annoying Roxy, probably a leg stuck under your ribs or something, I am getting braxton hicks like mad today, and loaaaaads of heartburn. Joyful lol.

We are going to pop to mothercare today, so I can buy the swing I wanted to buy for months - and I have a few bits to exchange etc.

Having a BBQ for father in law later today too looking forward to that as long as the weather behaves!!

You guys having nice fathers day? xxx

 

[Summergurl]

Sounds painful roxy.
I've been getting braxton hicks for a while. Last night we went to a wedding reception & they were so frequent &'uncomfortable.

Weather is rubbish down this way today so I'm home from work about to stick a film on and hopefully snooze.

Hope the weather holds out for the BBQ Lexi. I'm very jealous. Bbqs are my fave! Xx

 

[fcroxy]

Hope you have a nice bbq lexi, its raining here today were not up to much today as OH is working this afternoon so lazy day for us. I'm knackered and could easily go for a nap! Xx

 

[Mictho29]

Took girls to cinema this morning to see secret life of pets eldest has been under the weather so I stayed with her at home this afternoon while hubby has taken youngest to a car show and i have dropped off a few times got into bed so she cud sleep and it was me that couldn't keep awake lol x

 

[Flo1]

Oh Roxy I hope the new medication helps!
Kholl, it's not a solution to your problem but could your oh maybe get up a night in the weekends so you have at least 1 night you can sleep? You really need to get some rest. The first months after my son's birth, we did this too. Every week, the night from friday to Saturday was my partner's. I would use earplugs and he got up at night and in the morning. All the other nights were mine, as I was at home and he went to work, but having 1 night to sleep through and as long as I needed was wonderful. Or maybe the kids can stay a night with grandparents sometimes? (I wouldn't do that myself, I'd miss my children too much I'm afraid :-D but not everyone is like that).
It must feel sooo good to be home from work now. I have 9 days to go, 30th June is my last day :-D

 

[Summergurl]

Exciting that your last day is within reach Flo!
I'm finishing on the 21st of July but only have 20 working days left because of my shift pattern. Can't wait.

 

[flexilexi394]

We had a lovely BBQ! literally started to rain as everyone was leaving so that was perfect

I went to mothercare in croydon today to get a few bits - I bought the Joie swing, some breast shells, a lovely new feeding pillow, and a baby grooming kit Oh I do love a shop, especially for the baby. I think I am absolutely done and dusted now shopping wise.

I don't know if any of you remember but I bought a second hand iCandy Peach on ebay absolute months ago, and it was like £300 and that included absolutely everything. The only downside is the frame is slightly scratched up. Today, looking at all the sleek brand new pushchairs made me kinda want to buy a new one to be honest! But I got such a good bargain with this one, I would be stupid to spend like a thousand pounds on a new one but I spotted another make called "egg" and fell in love with it!

I think I am literally off to bed now, I cannot stay awake today any longer lol xxxx

 

[Nickinakinoo]

I love shopping to lexi but I tend to shop online, I've seen the egg but I do prefer the Icandy peach, wish I'd got an Icandy.

I'm freaking out today, the anxiety of pregnancy is getting beyond crazy! I'm constantly freaking out about each twinge or pain, I struggle to remember if I've felt him move and if I have I have no idea if his movement is consistent with other days. At the point I just want him out so at least someone else can share the responsibility of knowing he's ok and intervening if he's not.

I had really bad runs yesterday (sorry TMI) and today I have pains in my left side but they're not constant.

Did everyone have a good weekend?

I am back to reality of the iCandy now and I am glad I bought it, just got swept away with all the lovely pushchairs to look at lol!

I have the runs nearly every day too, its gross actually but I am so glad I am not constipated because towards the end is when you get piles and stuff and I can safely say that won't be at this rate its grim.

I also feel sick again sometimes, this morning and yesterday I felt sick but it is nowhere near as bad as it was in the early stages of pregnancy thank the lord! xx

 

[Summergurl]

I'm so jealous of you guys, I'm so constipated it's painful. I think if it carries on I'll have to call the doc for them to give me something.

I love browsing at all the baby stuff but I'm very restrained at the minute as we don't know if we're having pink or blue. We have a very tiny mother care down here there's probably about 15 prams tops, so my choice was limited.

Let's hope the sickness doesn't last for you Lexi.

 

[flexilexi394]

Oh no Summergurl! Can you take Fybogel when pregnant??? That stuff is amazing it will get things moving for your bowel no problem, I lived on it after I had my last baby for a while so I could go to the toilet easily because my god the first few times are scary lol - try find out if you can have Fybogel!!

I hope I am not actually sick, I haven't been yet I just feel reeeeaally sick again but you never know I guess! Technically only 6 weeks and 4 days left of this anyway which means I won't complain too much ahaha!!

I can't believe how many braxton hicks I am having, I never ever had them with my last pregnancy it is sooo weird to experience them now, I just can't wait for the day they turn into full blown contractions lol! xx

 

[Summergurl]

I've just googled fybogel & it says it's ok to have whilst pregnant but that was on netdoctors. I'll give the docs a call in the morning to be 100% sure then go out and get some. I've never even heard of it before! X

 

[Kholl]

Summergurl, the 100% reliable cure for constipation every time I'm pregnant is a little caffeine and then a long walk. Gets things going every time!

I am 30+3 and I feel ok in the morning and huge and achey by evening!

I posted this in the tri 3 belly thread too but thought I would share here as well. I would love to see pics of you ladies too!

 

[Summergurl]

Aw cute bump! I'll give a coffee a go today then kholl although I did get a little movement this morning.

I'm 33 weeks today. I love Tuesdays I look forward to them ever week as I know we're another week closer.

I have a growth scan tomorrow too looking forward to seeing baby again.
