***January 2017 mummies!*** 3rd Trimester

My coat still fits as I bought it in a bigger size. I think when it stops fitting I'll just layer more and buy a big woolen scarf and have the coat open. Or look on local selling pages to see if someone is selling a maternity coat :)

Hi ladies! :)

Aaawww Abi isn't it awful when you have a fight with hubby?
It will be okay, you guys will make up in no time! :) He has to know it's your hormones.

LOL Blueflower I'm playing hookie from work too! :D It feels good. Had an appointment today so I said might as well take the whole day.

I know what you mean Laura! My numbers are all good too. No diabetes, no high blood pressure. Woohoo! I should reward myself too. :D

Oh no Kate! Chicken pox for poor Poppy? Aawww! Yes now you have a good excuse for ordering a delicious pizza! :D

Aaawww Millie he was such a pretty kitty cat! Sorry for your loss. Nice bump Millie!

Yeah it's harder for me to walk or stand long too. My job is a sit down job so working is not hard thank goodness.

LOL Abi I agree with Kate! Use the pregnant card while you can! Hahaha:D

I sometimes feel quite heavy when I stand up after sitting for a while or walking for a while, I struggle with long walks now !

Wow his ex sounds crazy !!

Don't be frightened to say who you want at the birth it's your choice and don't feel pressure !

I'm trying not to buy a winter coat either, I've bought some nice wrap type things in large in primary and my mum bought me a coat 2 sizes to big as she's going to have it after me bless her lol
 
I just put my coat on without doing it up as there's no way it'll fit, then I wear a big scarf to keep my neck warm. Don't want to buy another coat and anyway I feel too hot most of the time, even outside.

Had my scan today and they are 3.1 pounds and 3.3 pounds :) bad news is that I am anaemic, so I need to get some iron tablets. No wonder I've been struggling to get out of bed.

I apologise for not having read and responded properly to longer posts above yet. I was at the hospital from 1-5 and I'm just home now and shattered so I just thought I'd skim quickly and then pass out.. xxx
 
The iron tablets help loads Laura :). I'm going to try get mine changed as they make my stomach funny but theyve really helped with my energy and dizzyness and leg cramps etc xxx

Geez Robbda, she just sounds like a total nut case!!! But hopefully this is near the end of the big mess and hassle she's been causing you.


Incase anyone wondered, I text first. I also made him his fave dinner (lasagna & cheescake) to apologise for being hormonal. He's totally fine with me now and even said sorry for messing up the spare room in his strop.

I had like one Broxton hic the other day but mainly the past few days baby has been almost vibrating!! Cxxxc
 
Imogen does the vibrating thing! So weird xxx

Robbda I don't know how you're dealing with that.. I agree with Blueflower is there a chance she thinks she's made a mistake and is now insanely jealous and trying to cling onto any contact with him?! Hope you get rid soon and before baby comes.. She sounds like bad news!

Also agree re. birth, it is your day, your birth, your child, do what feels right for you and your partner and don't feel guilty. I had my partner and my Mum there for my first baby and it was amazing, it'll just be partner there for this one due to logistics but I'd 100% have my Mum there again.. I think I'd cry if his Mum suggested being there.. You are incredibly sweet for considering her feelings but it's got to be what you two want.

Hope you had a nice day Papermoon, got to love an impromptu day off!

Sorry to hear about the anaemia Laura but hopefully the iron tabs make you feel better.. Gosh they are good weights aren't they! Bless them - not long before you meet them now! xx
 
Since I've missed pretty much everything lol..when will the twins on this thread be born? :) do you all have planned sections etc? Xxx

Robbda, your crazy ex story is even worse than mine. What is it with these people? Why can't they move on with their lives?

So, I definitely have pre-eclampsia. Will be monitored closely but if blood pressure stays where it is and nothing shows up in my blood tests I get to go home tomorrow. Yay! Bored out of my mind.
Unfortunately it turns out the babies are on the small side, so there will be extra checks for them as well. The combination with possibly having to deliver them early due to the pre-eclampsia means several appointments a week now.
Still don't know if I can go to Sweden. Doctor wasn't too worried about the flight itself, but it was clear he wasn't happy about the prospect of me spending a few days in limbo between different healthcare systems. Will try to call my Swedish hospital tomorrow, if I can pre-arrange appointments there, I hope it will go smoothly.
My whole family is panicking and there's no talking sense to them. They're convinced babies are coming tomorrow and social services will immediately take them away.
Really wanna go home and relax a bit so I can think this over properly, talk with my husband.
 
Hi,just thought to post on here as most of you have more of an understanding. I'm not sure if I've increased chances of me being pregnant. My period started on the 13th October, I had unprotected sex last night on the 30th in the early hours of the morning. I've had a look online at a few ovulation calculators and it says that I'm in my fertile days as my period is a 29 day cycle.im due on my period exactly 2 weeks from that night. Everywhere I've looked it says I'm fertile, I'm so so worried. Is it likely I can be pregnant? someone please put my mind at ease.

Oh no I'm sorry about the pre eclampsia :( that sucks. How much longer will they have you carry them for? I hope you can keep them in for as long as possible!
Why will social services take babies? I've missed everything with only just joining the threads recently. Hope you can fly and all goes smoothly xxx

I've had a look online at a few ovulation calculators and it says that I'm in my fertile days as my period is a 29 day cycle.im due on my period exactly 2 weeks from that night. today ive had cramps on my right side like period cramps every few hours, so about 5 days since.. Everywhere I've looked it says I'm fertile, I'm so so worried. Is it likely I can be pregnant? someone please put my mind at ease

As it looks now, my pre-eclampsia isn't so bad. Unless it escalates, they won't have to deliver them early, it's just that it's the only known cure. So until I get really sick, they will monitor me closely and try to keep my blood pressure down.

And as for social services, this is where the crazy ex comes in. Her younger sister has accused my husband of touching her sexually when she was fourteen. This accusation was first brought up two years ago, at which point even crazy ex didn't believe it. My husband broke up with his crazy ex and got together with me. She tried splitting us up and failed. So she stopped him seeing their children. He went to mediation to get contact. She then brought up the accusations from the sister (about nine months after hearing them) and reported it to the police. So there's a court case. There are no evidence, younger sister hasn't been to any healthcare professional when it's supposed to have happened, our brought it up with school or anything. She is supposed to have told her mother, who decided to do nothing, not even tell her older daughter who had children with the guy in question. Instead, everything is brought up a year later, but still not brought to the police until my husband tries to see his children. The trial is in December and our solicitor is very confident and positive and says that unfortunately, these cases are very common.
But the social services have decided my husband is a risk to our babies and have put a child protection plan in action. And it seems unlikely I will be able to get through that entire plan and be properly assessed as to my ability to protect my children from their father. So that's why they might take them away.
To me the whole thing is completely bisarre, as at this point, he should still be considered innocent. But we asked about that, and they said not in their opinion. They also said that they might not care if the court decides he's innocent.
 
Oh that's awful :( it must be so stressful for you!
There was a girl on my uni course who had made up something about being sexually assualted by a guy on a night out and she'd made it up to get attention off her ex. The poor guy had to go through court etc but it came out how she had made it all up and think she had to have her own courtcase and got suspended sentance or something like that for lying to the police and the courts. It's so unfair when people lie about stuff like that and cause such huge consequences for someone whos innocent. You would think SS would have to take the court ruling into account surely. Sounds so unfair! Xx

I will be induced at 37 or 38 weeks, 16-23rd December! I want a natural birth but will have a cesarean if they are still heads up by then!
 
Ooooh thats so exciting!! Seems sooo soon!
January seems soooo far away but December seems no time at all
I suppose your already a few weeks ahead of me and then with being induced 2/3 weeks early too makes it like 6 weeks before my dd lol. Amazing you will have them in time for christmas, they could even end up being christmas day babies! Xx

Oh wow that sounds horrible you poor thing. I see why your blood pressure is up. That is so much stress. :(
 
Millielaura mine will arrive 34-37 weeks so December 9-30th sometime, depending on what consultant decides. I'd like to try to push them out, but like blueflower says, it depends on their position and what they're doing.

Rhiandell.. that's really tough and seems strange that they bring up these issues so long after they first arose. I don't think social services can just decide to ignore an innocent court ruling though - do they really have the power to do this? Perhaps your lawyer can advise. Anyway, I think you're handing the situation very calmly, it's really the last thing you need when you're in your third tri with twins. xx

I'm the same as Blueflower won't go past 38 weeks which is Boxing Day lol! Both babies were head down at last scan so possible natural labour but consultant won't induce if not ready, I'm happy to go with the flow for whatever is safest for us all. X
