anyone having stronger type period cramps as well daily? my stomach feels rock hard most days now too? and omg the lower back pain im having from just standin up for even 10 mins is stupid! think i might give birth to a bloody fridge at this rate! lol xx

 

[buggy1]

It is a bit too hot, and I think it is going to get worse over the weekend. I like sitting in the sun but I just can't manage it for more than 10 minutes at the moment. Ice lollies at the ready!

I've had some period like cramps on and off but also had achey hips and pain in my lower back so it sounds more like pelvic girdle pain

I did spend some time at the labour ward last night for my itchy hands and feed. I was on the monitor for a while and they said at the end I had quite a lot of tightenings/bh which I hadn't noticed. Apparently I was getting them every 10 mins! Because I've had stabbing pains in my cervix and the baby's head is engaged I am hoping that means she will be here before my due date. Will be fully cooked this time next week!

 

[charlotte89]

glad im not the only one with lower back pain! but sorry to hear ya sufferin! sounds like you may well be givin birth before ya due date! how excitin ! im hopin this is the case for me as well ! lol oohh 37 weeks make sure ya start takin ya raspberry leaf tea xx

 

[buggy1]

Oh I have been drinking that for just over a week

 

[charlotte89]

oohh your brave!! lol my friend startin drinkin it and two days after she went into labour haha she was 10 days early. probs nothin do with the tea but can hope xx

 

[umbongo]

I've not got any yet, bet I hate it! Not a flavoured tea fan at all! I found peppermint rank!

X

 

[buggy1]

Yeah I don't normally like fruit/herbal tea but this isn't actually too bad at all!

My mw said you need to start drinking it from 30 weeks for it to work! She didn't say that until I was 34 though lol

 

[Heres Hoping]

Really from 30 weeks? I thought it was 36...opps. Id be scared to start drinking it now, incase things kicked off too early! Im getting more & more cramps too, but im wondering if its connected to painful wind haha. Still knackered aswell, im gona end up in a coma if we get this heat wave x

 

[buggy1]

I know what you mean, I often get a bad cramp when I need to poop hehe - never had that before I got pregnant!

Yeah, she told our antenatal class that if you hadn't already started taking it by now there was no point. I was surprised because I thought it was more like 36/37 weeks.

Still I have been taking it for nearly 2 weeks and nothing yet!

oh this is the first iv heard of takin it at 30 weeks , iv been sayin i wouldnt start takin it until 37 weeks cuz of bringin on early labour! i might start drinkin it then from sunday on me 36 week mark

and i hate herbal teas umbongo but if it brings on early labour il drink it lol xx

 

[buggy1]

Just dont blame me if it starts off labour too early haha!

Bring on the weekend!!! I also normally love the sun, but finding it a bit much now. But still looking forward to the nice weather. It's better than being at work as at least I can wear what I like.

I cannot believe there is only 2.5 weeks of school to go!!! Thats only 6 full days and 4 half days for me to go I'm going to miss it though.

How many working days have you got to go?

I had my 34 week appt yesterday. All good. She explained for second babies that when you lie down they come free, but when you stand they can get engaged. That kinda explains the sensations I might have every morning. I'm always so uncomfortable first thing and feel like the baby is going to fall out the bottom. So maybe its the pressure of the baby slotting back into the pelvis!!

Hi ladies. Hope you r all managing ok in the heat.
Night time is the worst for me. Constantly waking up. But I do get bk to sleep pretty quick.

Im 35+2 today and I cant stop eating! It could be something to do with the heat. But im just about to put the oven on to make myself a big dinner and I dont usually bother when Scott is at work. Something easy but filling tonight!

I know I still have weeks to go but im so not motivated to wash the baby clothes hat are going in the hospital bag or finish packing it altogether.

I was determined to get it done by 33 weeks originally lol xx

Hey ladies,

Feet are,very swollen and sore :-/

Hey ho, trying to go easy, but being the designated driver and everyone else wants to enjoy their holidays think I'm gunna haven't grin and bare it!!!!

Having some lovely family time though, nice to have OH off work and the kids can get some lovely fresh air .... Just with very fat feet!!!!!

We off for a wonder in to the town in a bit to treat ourselves to our breakfast in our fav cafe/bakery ..... Been looking forward to it for months haha nothing quite like it always tastes better when your on your hols
Hope you are all well.

(had a scan last week to check baby's water levels as thoughts was leaking :-/ all seems fine, he's a right chub!!!!!! He was weighing in at nearly 5lb at just over 33 weeks ...eeeeek!!
My last was only 6lb 9 born on her due date....saw his chubby little cheeks got a lovely pic, but Unfortunatly can't upload from my iPad/phone ...I shall try to work it out later,... The attachment thingy dosnt work.

Anyhoo... Rough rambling from me .... Going to wake everybody up now, think its highly unfair im awake and they all snoozing heheh xxx

 

[Kelly450]

Hey! The swollen feet arent nice. Im learning this slowly lol!
I agree that it always tastes better when away lol. To be honest, having somebody cooking when your away is bliss.

Chunky babies are adorable but he may well weigh in at less than what ur expecting. I dont really like to go by the weight they have on my chart.

Yeh we always love seeing photos.
Take it easy and enjoy the fresh air xxx
