What is the pregnancy nose stage??
I am feeling so uncomfortable at the minute, back is aching so much and struggling to breathe after I eat dinner. I'm worrying that I've still got 3 months left of this!! Thankfully it is going pretty quickly I can't believe we are going into tri 3!! I'm moving house next Saturday so can't wait until that's over.
I'm planning to work until the middle of January then take 2 weeks annual leave and start my maternity leave at 38 weeks. I have to say though with my backache I'm finding the commute really rough, especially coming home.

The pregnancy nose stage is something my friends and I came up with.....we were probably the only ones to get it. But near the end of pregnancy we just all said our noses seemed to swell slightly and were much bigger than pre-pregnancy. A week after the birth the nose went back to normal. We just call it pregnancy nose and all agreed that even Kate Middleton had it!
Probably just us making ourselves feel better!

Ended up having to stay in over night on antenatal ward for observation but they happy with everything this morning, they think I have overdone and advised me to take it easy and rest for a day or so. Just waiting on being discharged now.

Glad to hear all was ok Lura after your scare!!

I had my 25 week appointment today, better late than never! All was good and so lovely to hear a really strong heartbeat!

I am really uncomfortable too, had this at this stage with my first but it passed in a few weeks so hoping this is the same, baby must just be in an awkward position, can feel him right down in my bum and trapping a nerve and making my hip feel like it's going to pop out, midwife was going to refer me for physiotherapy but i said wait till my next appt in 3 weeks and if it gets worse I will contact her.

I am leaving work at just over 33 weeks as I too work on a ward on my feet and felt that I was ready to give up at that point last time so even though I am now part time I think with a 1 year old I will be tired enough! I have 5 weeks holiday to take then maternity leave at 38 weeks so I get as long as possible with the baby!
