i've been getting a few odd sharp pains in my foof, again as always with me only when i'm stood up or walking! been feeling quite tired today and got a headache going to have a lay down i think!

only a week till August . . . then its our month

 

[Piglet's Mama]

I've done a thread but thought I'd ask you ladies in here...

Ok, so I started drinking RLT at 35 + 2. I had one cup a day 'til I reached 36 weeks when I upped it to 2 cups a day. Now I've hit 37 weeks I've upped it to 3 cups a day. My question is...

From now, what do I do...
Do I up it to 4 at 38, 5 at 39 then just go for it if I reach 40?
Do I stick at 3 cups a day 'til 40 then go for it?
Stick at 3 cups a day 'til she arrives?
Just go for it from now as I am now term?

I'm not too sure tbh... What are you ladies doing?

Thanks!! xx

 

[Piglet's Mama]

I'm still on a one cup a day Heppi and that gives me more than enough BH!

Also, I think "oooh I'll go and make a cup" then fancy tea & coffee in between - I must try to have more now in the last couple of weeks xx

 

[spice]

i really need to try to remember to drink it more! i end up having a good few cups one day then completely forgetting to have it the next!
i'd say just drink as much as you want, or as little as you want! but do remember to keep drinking it for a few weeks after the birth as its supposed to help get everything back to normal quicker if you carry on drinking it!

i feel like i've barely slept woke up every 2hrs needing the loo, and woke up in-between with heartburn or not being comfy, and couldn't get comfy think i'll be napping once i've gone and brought more RTL!

 

[KellyHook]

OMG, i just weighed myself.......

and i still have 20days to go till due date and then how ever many days overdue!!!

 

[spice]

i'm guessing that the scales showed more than you were expecting?!?

i haven't weighed myself for a while . . . i'll get the scales out in a second!

 

[KellyHook]

Yes definitely... Then again I don't know what I was expecting to see! I think I've put on around 23lbs.., its just the numbers that I saw I never thought I'd be in that weight range!! I think by the end of this pregnancy I will be needing to lose around 3 stone as I wanted to lose weight before I fell pregnant! Xx

 

[spice]

well i knew i'd have put more weight on as my boobs have "popped" recently . . . i've put on over 3 stone now, so now have about 5 stone to lose once little man is born that sounds like a lot just going to be healthy about it though and exercise more! hopefully he'll come soon so i wont put much more on!

kel - you don't look like you've out hardly any weight on (from your bump pics) so i'm sure you'll be fine losing it!

 

[KellyHook]

Thanks hun!
Its just the fact I'm thinking about having the implant put back in after little man is here and that made me put weight on last time, so it's just going to be harder to lose it! But I'm hoping that the weight of baby, waters and placenta make up for at least half that weight! O well can't change anything now!

 

[Piglet's Mama]

Ouch ouch ouch these foofy pains are bloody killing me!

And the BH are really strong again...

 

[HeppiBean]

i'd say just drink as much as you want, or as little as you want! but do remember to keep drinking it for a few weeks after the birth as its supposed to help get everything back to normal quicker if you carry on drinking it!

Yeahh think I'm just going to drink as much as I like then and I'm gunna go 3 cups for 2 weeks after she's born then 2 for 2 then 1 for 2... Then probably still drink it occasionally after that

Ta xx

 

[KellyHook]

I know it said not to drink RLT if you've had a prem baby, so I stopped drinking it, surely if I start drinking it now it won't do any harm as I'm classed full term!.. What do you ladies think??

Jen - totally sympathise with you on the sharp foof pains!! I'm having so much of them now! They are so sore and uncomfortable!! What are they again? Anything to do with cervix changing or starting to thin out??

 

[Piglet's Mama]

I'm not sure Kel re the RLT - have you googled it?

I was just getting tightenings pretty much the whole way through my dinner... making me feel uggghhhh

 

[Piglet's Mama]

Oh and I think I may have lost a speck of red blood earlier after my foofy pain, only teeny but not sure if it's related...?

 

[HeppiBean]

Kel when I was getting them them my midwife said it was because of my cervix starting to "move round and lower down" as well as bubs starting to engage xx

 

[KellyHook]

O right, well im off to see the consultant tomorrow anyway so will mention it to they just to see what they say, last time they checked they said my cervix was short, so i suppose it could be to do with cervix changing etc as i had them pains earlier in the day before they checked!

What do you reckon about me taking RLT now as im past 37 weeks? xx
