[jazz1984]

Congratulations Zoe and Helen! I hope you both have a fantastic day xxx

Jnyfer what do you mean by made some nappies? How do you do that? I would like to try them once we have settled into a routine

 

[Zoe_helen25]

Cheers girl can't belive some of you are gonna be full term this week..... is going too quick xx hope ur all ok Helen really uncomfortable now xx

 

[bricey]

Why what happened bricey? Sorry only if you want to share obviously! Everyone has an opinion on everything atm don't they?! My mil thinks baby shouldn't come in our room for the first bit and boss took great pleasure in telling me how my body will never be the same again. Not shit sherlock you don't have to bring it up lol!

Glad scan went well blondy

We were all at a birthday meal and she asked my SIL (her daughter who is 26w) and I if we were BF and I said no, she demanded my reasons and berated all of them telling me I'm wrong and should BF. I felt humiliated and very upset, she wouldn't leave it alone

I had a lovely day yesterday. My SIL took me to panto as a treat (love panto) and then we went for a pizza locally and I got there and all my friends were there and its was a surprise baby shower meal. Got loads of gifts. I hadn't wanted a proper shower as I get embarrassed so she arranged a meal with my friends who all bought gifts - it was lovely

 

[jazz1984]

Thanks zoe, yep can't wait till tomorrow as also got mw app so want to know how engaged she is now!

That's really your own personal decision bricey so I don't see how or why she should think her opinion matters! My mum didn't bf me or my sister and we both are very healthy! Sounds like you sil is a sweetie doing that for you .

Had a massage today by my sis and god I didn't realise how tense I was lol! So lovely to have a treat . Cleaned car and put isofix in and bads for hosp as 37 weeks tomorrow! !!!

Zoe and Helen hope you have a lovely day on Tuesday.

Bricey what a lovely day for you and how lovely of your SIL.

Feeling pants today- woke up last night by my son at around 1. Realised I felt sick, then spent the next hour feeling pants, and was eventfully sick. Couldn't get back to sleep cos I wanted to lie upright in bed but bump made it too uncomfy

Consequently felt rubbish all day, with a bit of a gurgly tummy. Feels a bit like having a hangover after lots of wine, but without the pleasure of having had the wine!! Can't wait for bedtime tonight. But hubby has been the best and took H to the park this morning and played with him most of the afternoon (apart from when we made gingerbread men together

 

[Zoe_helen25]

Does anyone feel like pressure on pelvic area and really bad back pain lower pain ...feel like baby wiggling a lot especially at night time xx

 

[jazz1984]

No sorry zoe mines a day time wiggler! Get this stabbing pain in my bits though when she stretches as I think shes pushing her head down more. She also makes it so difficult to wee now!

 

[brumgirl81]

Best wishes for your big day Zoe! How exciting!

Bricey - tell that MIL of yours to mind her own business. She sounds like she is the long lost twin of my MIL!

We have had a busy weekend putting up the new nursery furniture and finishing off the room. Absolutely shattered now but at least no more getting up for work for a while!

 

[blondy13]

Definitely get pain and pressure on my cervix when she stretches out and that's day and night!
Becky hope you start to feel better and glad you've had some rest. I hate that hungover feeling when there's no alcohol involved!
I've been to pregnancy yoga tonight, actually really enjoyed it apart from not being able to bend into all the positions.

Looks amazing xxxx

 

[Starlight1986]

Have a great day on Tuesday Zoe!!

Hope you are all doing well, not going to lie im shattered. Waking up constantly through the night it feels and full of the cold which im sure isn't helping.

Called mat assessment this morning because I felt my movements were very reduced yesterday and this morning, she advised me to drink a glass of water and count the movements, half hour in and ive had over 35 so I take it everything is ok with baby?

Feeling like time is dragging now, I knew it would though lol.

MrsT hope all is ok at your end to x

 

[blondy13]

Starlight, would you say baby's movements have returned to 'normal' for you then? 35 seems like plenty but if that's not normal for you then still get checked. I would just keep an eye on it and go with your gut instinct.
I am struggling today with looking after dd, she just wants to play bless her but I'm so sore!

I would actually yes, since I drank that cold drink at 9.30am this morning baby has been really active which is normal for me.

Yesterday was definitely a quieter day but I remember getting 1 or 2 of these with my last preg. Still I felt happier knowing I had called them.

My bump has dropped a lot and im very achy down below and waddling like a wee duck....think baby is starting to engage, will find out tomorrow at my midwife app

 

[Pip0902MJ]

I've been pretty quiet on here lately, hope everyone is ok!

In soooo much pain down below in my pelvis area, bouncing on my ball helps though. Must be the way baby is lying. It only used to more so at night time but getting more frequent in the day

So, I have been adamant all along I was going to BF, but now I've completely changed my mind. I think I'm trying to talk/force myself into doing it for all the wrong selfish reasons.

Xx

 

[mrsjohnson88]

Starlight quiet days are horrible, I went to mau in between xmas and new year with reduced movement and as soon as I was hooked onto the monitor baby J proved me to be a liar! I still get freaked out worrying about whether ive felt much from time to time but wouldn't hesitate to ring them back if needed.

Im also getting pain really low down and hoping its a sign of baby engaging. Hopefully mw will give me some good news tomorrow

Have a lovely day tomorrow zoe and helen!

[Rachel11]

Sorry i have been abit quiet on here! With christmas and new year then yesterday was my birthday so been pretty busy!

Just before Christmas i was in hospital due to an allergic reaction when eatting a curry, my tongue swelled up and i had to stay in over night - which as you can imagine i was not happy about considering it was a Saturday night at 10pm! I am slightly allergic to nuts so think this was heightened due to pregnancy!

Anyway, Mrs T i hope you, baby and husband are doing okay?

Zoe - Have a lovely day - Congratulations!

I have been having pressure as you girls mentioned, and the last hour some period type pain/cramps - unsure if this means baby is engaging? Any one else???? I was going to start raspberry leaf tea today but don't think i will bother yet lol!!

 

[mrsjohnson88]

Was going to ask about raspberry leaf tea, is anyone else going to try it? I was thinking of picking some up this week. Where did you get yours from rachel?

 

[JnyFer]

Jazz.... I am going to use basic terry Rowling re usable nappies so I brought some brightly coloured towels and cut them and then sewed the edges to stop freying. I have also brought some 100% cotton fabric and cut it to same size as Muslim squares to use in the earlier weeks so the nappies are not too bulky xx

 

[Rachel11]

Mrs johnson I got twinning from tesco! But Holland and Barrett do it too! When are u thinking of starting
