***August Mummies Final Hurdle! ***

[Lulie]

All well here, the doctor confirmed little one is head down which is relief, does anyone know if he can turn again at this stage or is it too late?

I have a 3d scan booked for Monday, which I'm a bit apprehensive about as I always think the pictures look creepy, but it will still be fun to see. Anyone else having one?

No braxton hicks here. I don't feel many kicks because of the anterior placenta but it get a great deal of punches throughout the day. My doctor got kicked when he was examining me, so baby obviously wasn't impressed by the pressing and prodding that was going on!

Yay Mictho!!! Home stretch for you girl!

Lulie good question, I don't know if a baby that is head down can then move and go back the other way, I would think that they are programmed to know that head down is the right way so won't move now, I dont know though!

Have fun at the 3d scan, I haven't ever had one but theyre meant to be lovely and you can see a lot more detail! How exciting xxx

Hey ladies, how you doing? I have a 3D scan on Sunday but I don't hold out much hope of getting pictures because he's been very uncooperative in every scan, usually with his hands on his face! But I'm interesting to no how he's laying because I think his head is up, feet down at the moment!

I have my 28week midwife appointment tomorrow, what usually happens? Will she talk to me about birth options because so far no ones mentioned anything and I don't have a clue

 

[fcroxy]

They will measure your bump, take bloods I believe, test wee sample and check bp, listen to heartbeat. My midwife said she'll go through my birth plan at 36 weeks and to book a double appointment as it takes longer.

Hope you ladies have a nice scan!

I'm exhausted after a lovely day enjoying the sun. Went down the beach this evening for a stroll and chippy. Now trying to catch up on a bit of housework. Hope everyone is well xx

 

[Nickinakinoo]

Thanks Hun, I'll be interested to no about my bump size! I'm a weird shape (still fat with lots to loose skin) so when I've down it I'm about 36weeks but I'm hoping I'm doing it wrong! Already got a growth scan booked for 34weeks because of my bypass!

Jealous of the beach trip, I sat in the garden after work for a bit but I got too hot!

 

[Nickinakinoo]

Anyone else finding sneezing a bit dangerous these days?

 

[Flo1]

Nicki: I do... sneezing or laughing, I have to run to the toilet then! She loves kicking my bladder too. I suppose she's still breech

 

[Summergurl]

Haha nicki yes! And my darling, ever kind OH has given me his damn cold

 

[flexilexi394]

Sneezing is like really painful... down there!! I don't know why it hurts me down there when I sneeze but yes, IT IS DANGEROUS omg!

I can't believe I am 30 weeks today :O I am officially on the 10 week countdown now.... and that is really scary! exactly 7 weeks today is my last day at work. That is just madness.

It always felt so far away, maternity leave, the summer holidays, etc but now it is like super close, after next week being half term, that is the home stretch to the summer holidays, and I am due 2 weeks into the holidays!

Ahhh!!!! xx

 

[Summergurl]

Now when people ask how far along you are etc you can say only 9 weeks to go! Single figure countdowns!!

Oh my!! this is crazy isn't it!!! Jesus Christ I don't know if I can give birth again!! AHHH! Xx

 

[Summergurl]

Haha well, as I keep telling myself, baby has to come out somehow it can't stay in there forever lol you'll be fine! So exciting though being into single figure weeks!

 

[Kholl]

27 weeks! It's official!

 

[Summergurl]

Welcome to the final bit kholl!

 

[fcroxy]

Yay kholl for being on the final stretch!

I cant get enough of ice cream atm, had to go shops earlier just for that as there was none in the house! X

 

[ab11]

I love ice cream n ice lollies at the moment too. And loveeeee mars bar ice cream lol xx

As much as I love hot weather the heat is killing me already, I feel so drained and uncomfortable. Been in the garden most of the afternoon having a bbq and wearing as little as possible! Hows everyone else's weekend? Xx

 

[Nickinakinoo]

I'm not a fan of heat, last year I was 27 stone, this year I'm 7 months pregnant! I've been hiding in front of a fan most of the weekend! We popped out this morning for my 3D scan, he wasn't very cooperative at one point there were hands, feet and the chord in front out his face but after a couple of hours of me wiggling, hip shaking, walking and drinking a sugary drink we did get so see this beautiful frowny face!

He's already 2lb12ozs so the sonographer thinks he'll be a 9lber if he's on time! That's scary! Hope you're enjoying the bank holiday x

Lovely scan pics Nicki xx

Went to a baby shower for a friend on Saturday and woke up Sunday with a horrible itchy throat and stuffed up nose, urgh! Just want to feel better, I'm a right wimp when I'm poorly.
I've got two cats so the daft part of me is now convinced I've got toxoplasmosis. I always wash my hands after touching them and don't change the cat litter; but I always have to worry about something, don't dare Google it any more as will only panic!
