*August Mummys - Our Tri3 Thread*

[Piglet's Mama]

Hey there. Is anyone starting to freak out a little bit. I thought I was quite calm about everything and then in the last week I have started to panic big time about having a little person soon that is all my responsibility! Very excited but also scared - anyone else?

I went through this for about 2 weeks a couple of weeks back, I know exactly how you feel but it will deffo pass. I felt like a monster because I was thinking "I can't do this, I'm not ready, what have I done?!" But my friends who have kids say it's perfectly normal and just our hormones working overtime! x

I agree with Jen, I go through this every now & then and I also feel terrible about it, but it's such a HUGE step to take in life I think it's perfectly normal to feel a bit of fear! x

Thanks for that and thanks Lulu_Laroo - I'm sure it will pass. Have had a pants few weeks with a bereavement in the family and sure that has contributed to it all. Just feel a bit overwhelmed by it all at the moment!!!!!!

Hiya jen, can you take me off the 9th please xx

 

[Piglet's Mama]

Ick - I have indigestion! And this morning I had horrific heartburn - the two always seem to come hand in hand!

How is everyone else feeling? Ladies, not long to go! As of next Friday we can say our LO's are due next month! I honestly think Tri3 is going the quickest!

I am feeling quite short of breath at the mo too as well as the odd few niggles - not sure if they are BH but I guess at this stage everything is working towards gearing our bodies up for labour!

All done lovely x

Im having loads of heartburn at the moment! Can you overdose on Gaviscon??

Well i feel pretty crap at the moment, this week has just been one BIG headache, and will prob continue to be a big headache for a couple of weeks.. but nevermind, cant change anything, feel like im part of the furniture at the hospital and ive only been 3 days in a row! got all next week and the week after to go yet! least by the time Charlie arrives i will prob know every single MW around..lol

Does anyone else feel like they are walking around with a heater on them? i just can not keep cool?

Cant believe its nearly July!!

 

[Piglet's Mama]

Aww hun, if he can hold on until at least 36 weeks then that's fab! Well anything past this time next week and he's beat Brooke!

Hope you are ok though, you are so calm - I would be like a crazy person!

I'm warm too, I can feel my fingers and feet are swollen, nice! Hope I can sleep with this bloody indigestion!

 

[KellyHook]

oh Jen, my feet have been swollen for the past 2 weeks... I dont have ankles anymore, just cankles , but MW says its fine as my BP and urine are coming back normal!

Ive just had some more of my beloved Gaviscon!

Yer thats what Lea (OH) says, as long as we can get past Brookes date, but i still wont be happy as he is smaller than brooke was at this stage, so if he did come, id be a nervous wreck that he just wouldnt be strong enough and get poorly.. Its hard enough having a baby in special care while they are reasonably healthy, i am quite calm but thats only because i know i cant do anything to change the situation, its constantly on my mind though! even though its so annoying going up the hospital every other day, im so pleased because it puts my mind at rest even if it is for a couple of hours! Should hopefully know the whole story when i see my consultant on monday, im hoping i can make it to my next growth scan which is in 2 weeks, as i will be nearly 35wks.. but what will be will be..

 

[HeppiBean]

AHHHH!!! I'm strangely happy!! Have been laying here awake cause my boobs were hurting... Just got up to go to the toilet and had all this creamy/yellowy sticky stuff on my chest freaked me out for a second then was like hang on...... Had a squeeze, and VOILA!! HeppiBean has a leak xx

 

[Piglet's Mama]

He'll be fine Kel - I always thought you would have him early but that he'd be just fine - he is having those injections isn't he? Well not Charlie, but you - so if he does come he'll be in the best possible shape for his gestation - bet he's a little cutie
Heppi - yay for your leakage hehe! Xx

 

[KellyHook]

You did say he would come early... what was your prediction 35wks??

Ive just realised i might not be a August Mummy any more..

Cant believe in 2 weeks i should know when he is coming out!! He had a estimated weight of 3lb 3oz at 32 + 3 anyone wanna have a guess at what he will be at my next scan? (34 + 3)

I feel so pregnant these past 2 days, i have seriously swollen feet/hands, im having quite a few braxton hicks, i have back ache and im just sooo damn HOT!!!!! oo and talking about leakage, i had a big wet patch on my top yesterday (luckily i was at home) and when i took my top off it just was leaking constantly was dripping and rolling down my big pregnant belly....NICE!!

Hope you are not finding the heat to unbearable.. xx

P.s ... 4 days to beat

 

[Piglet's Mama]

You can still be in our August mummy's club!
I would guess he'll be 4lb next time - cute xx

 

[HeppiBean]

Ok... So I've been awake all night with the little madam punching me gahh! It was so horrible! At the worst moments I could pretty much grab hold of her fist in my lower tummy... Kinda made me wanna be , was so freaky But anyway... After a night with absolutely no sleep what so ever... I am now shattered at 7:50 in the bloody morning when OH and I are going out at 9
Just a random rant really... I'm sure some of you get how I'm feeling right now with the sleeplessness and all that
I think today is going to be my first caffeine filled day since finding out I was pg! Don't think I'll stay awake any other way!
1 cup of coffee down, how ever many more to go
Although I have to say... After 30 odd weeks with no coffee, just tea..... It tasted AWESOME!!! xx

 

[scottishlassie]

At night i'm up every hour to 2 hours, if its not cramp, its heart burn, if its not that its coz i gotta pee, if its not that, i'm just so uncomfy and everything hurts!

Think of all the sleepless nights we'll be getting when baby is here! this is preparing us . Heppi hun if you need to rest you should be resting, don't hammer it with the caffeine. I nap quite alot, its difficult just now with work during the week, i just try and get through the day, nap either before or after dinner. hope you are alright hun.

[HeppiBean]

It'll just be lasting me through the morning, should be back in around 1-ish so am gonna have a nap then I've had a few nights recently with little sleep but no sleep at all... Jeez! I used to be able to go 2/3 nights without sleep... Apparently not anymore!! Ha ha xx

 

[Emerald rose]

I was up all night in pain with spd and sciatica paracetamol doesnt help.
I need a long hot bath but i cant get out of the bath anymore

 

[songbird]

I too got very little sleep between bubs liying in a funny position causing pain and my hips feeling like they are falling off and extreme heartburn i think i fell asleep around 4 ish and had to be awake at 7.
Doesnt help that i fell asleep at 8.30 only for my phone to ring at 11. It was my mum and her reason for ringing was that i didnt answer her bbm message so she got worried OMG i swear that woman needs to remember the time difference.

We're on the home straight ladies & the uncomfortableness is all part & parcel! I have been getting bad pains in my pelvis when I turn in the night & Heppi, my LO kicked me so hard in the ribs this morning it made a popping sound!
Not long to go now! X

Here here!!

I can't wait to meet my baby, but ofcourse pregnancy is a big change to our bodies and ofcourse there will be strains and pains! And as our baby gets stronger and bigger they are going to kick harder etc. i actually can see baby stretching now, either ends of my bump were popping out at the same time, and it feels like she stretches, its uncomfortable for me, but makes me happy knowing she is getting stronger x x
