Welcome we all come here for a little offload so don't feel bad!

Tillie I'm so jealous...I've still got 2.5 days to go lol. Then I can join you in pj days

 

[kellylou]

Ah guys ive still weeks to go!!

 

[SAHF]

Hello ladies. My first post here and wondering if I can come and join you?

I'm 28 weeks tomorrow and am expecting a little boy on 20 Jan. I'm a FTM and to be brutally honest I've been finding pregnancy really hard to deal with. I had some complications early on with bleeding and a large ovarian cyst (which I still have!), I was incredibly nauseous for what seemed like forever, I've had some problems with anxiety which is being treated through the perinatal team and now that I'm in the 3rd tri I just feel so uncomfortable and in so much pain all the time. My pelvis, hips, legs, belly, ribs etc everything seems to hurt.

I'm just counting down the days until my gorgeous little boy is here. I feel bad for moaning as I know I should be grateful but it's hard sometimes. Luckily I have a really supportive husband and work have been great.

Anyway sorry for the really whingy first post. I promise I'm usually more fun than this!

Hi TeeggieBeegie! Welcome to the January 2016 thread I've added your due date and team to the first post!

Don't worry, that's exactly what this thread is for. To share experiences, rant when needed, offer advice. We're all going through the same thing and I've found this forum and the lovely January due date ladies absolutely invaluable throughout my pregnancy so far. I hope you will too!

Ah guys ive still weeks to go!!

Don't worry you're not alone - I finish January 3rd, I'm due on the 12th! 10 very long weeks left for me.

 

[hopingforbabyf]

I'm so sore today! Can hardly walk and have a pain 'down there' - it almost feels like something is going to burst out the front! My braxton hicks are becoming a bit sore now too and think they coincide with the pain low down. I also have a proper pain really low down, like a bone type pain, not cramps or anything. I'm thinking it's possibly my pelvis?! One of the twins was so low down on Monday that they couldn't get thigh measurement so guessing they're possibly pushing on my pelvis. The same one also seems to have hiccups just now!

I am so ready to finish work on Friday!

^ hope you're enjoying your last day!

woop we're due 10 weeks today just about single digits scan should be in 4 weeks then can find out whether or not it'll have to be a C-section & finish work 7 weeks today too yay looking forward to it

 

[hopingforbabyf]

Oh it's good to be finished although at the moment it just feels like a normal Friday. Can't wait to stay in bed on Monday morning lol.

It's also a bit of a reality check - now I've finished work it means the babies will be coming soon, eek!!

Wow you're working quite close to due date then! I finish on the 20th so have 7 weeks left on Sunday, can't wait as nursery should be done then and keeping things busy at the weekend.

Do ur braxton hicks feel like a really painful stitch?

I work from home so it seemed silly to throw away weeks worth of wages when it's something I can easily do! Esp as I only work afternoons and evenings. Nothing strenuous etc!

Kelly I was going to say no but now that you mention it they do a little bit but usually it's more like pressure. Different to the pressure from when the babies move though. I woke up on Thursday morning at 4am with a stitch like pain right across the bottom of my bump and could hardly walk to the loo (i couldn't stand up straight). Managed to get back to bed but had it about 3 more times in bed before I got up but was fine once I was up and about. I can barely turn over in bed now and getting out of bed is so painful.

I am so uncomfortable at the moment I have no idea how I'm going to manage another 8/9 weeks! I can't sit on the sofa for any length of time as I end up in agony and if I use my ball for too long I get a numb bum or my thighs start to hurt! I have no idea what I'm meant to do apart from spend the next 8 weeks in bed!

I'm finding bed the worst place atm. Hubby is in the spare room so I have a king size to myself but just can't get comfy. Yesterday we went out for lunch to pizza Hut I had salad bowl and two large slices of pizza, came out and was in agony. Bump hard, tender to touch and a stitch feeling assumed was bh and lasted only about 10 mins or so.

 

[hopingforbabyf]

Aw no bed is the only place I can get comfy. Thankfully I'm still sleeping fine although up for the loo a couple of times a night. Hubby hasn't reached the spare bed yet but don't think it's far away - he's waking up sore because he thinks he's sleeping funny because he's conscious of me and the bump and is worried he hits it if he moves. If I sit on the sofa for any length of time I end up in agony so come a Sunday night my hips and back are aching hence why I'm not wanting to spend too much of my mat leave lounging on the sofa. I might try lying on the sofa instead of sitting with my feet up on the footstool though, see if that helps at all.

My BH have been quite frequent lately but not sure if that's because I'm more aware of them now. I also think because the babies are getting bigger it's more sore when they move so I feel like I constantly have a sore bump! Hope it was just BH for you, I'm guessing you've not had anything else since? Could it be the weight of bump? I know when I was in agony walking it felt like a constant stitch feeling but it was just stretching/weight from bump.

Same, can't get comfy anywhere and also get really sore after eating, there's just no room left there for a full stomach. I can't eat big meals at all at the moment.

 

[kellylou]

Today was odd, woke up had a bacon sandwich could only manage half, grazed on a twix with a coffee mid afternoon then round to my brothers for Halloween and I non stop ate! No pains since yesterday so hope it was a one off. In work all day tomorrow so that will be a long day then meal out with the girls likely to be last onenow til after baby arrives.

Have you tried Tums? I'm a pretty big girl pre-pregnancy and the size of meals I'm eating hasn't changed, despite everyone telling me pregnant women should eat 'little and often'. The last few weeks I am finding myself pretty uncomfortable after our evening meal, not heartburn as such but a tight feeling. Tums gets it sorted within minutes!
