****July 2018 Mummies - Tri 2****

Anyone else really hairy? I have a really hairy belly, patch of hair on my cheek and some under my chin.. I don't want to do anything to it incase I make it worse. Will it go away after the baby is here? Luckily I'm blonde so it's only blonde hairs but still conscious of it x

I'm a mixture when it comes to hair growth, my under arm's and legs have slowed right down but I have sprouted some dark hairs on my jawline. I went for an epil pro hair reduction treatment as I was very self conscious of them, worked really well. I had between 6 and 10 I've now counted 3 re growing so going to have another treatment in the next couple of weeks
 
Baby is kicking the living daylights out of me and has been for two days. It hardly ever sleeps, lol.

I had my hand resting on my tummy earlier with my phone in it. Got such a huge sudden movement that literally moved my whole torso side to side...that I dropped the phone. Well, it was actually kind of pushed out of my hand by the movement. Three months of this left. How the hell do you do it???

Lol! A footballer in the making? I get a lot of strong kicks/punches too, on both sides of my belly. Prepare yourself, it only gets more intense towards the end x
 
Lol we're all getting much more active babies! I love it. I'm sure he was playing the harp with my ribs yesterday, not keen on that feeling tbh lol!!

Fingers crossed I don't feel all funny again today. I've woken up with a headache and not feeling great but praying it doesn't turn into yesterday x
 
Baby kicks hell out of me too. It's getting uncomfortable when she turns in the way and kicks my bladder cervix though.

My mad pregnancy dreams have started again. I had them every night of first trimester and then they pretty much stopped second trimester. Now that third trimester is creeping up they're back. Last night's involved hubby saying he didn't want to live with me anymore but didn't want a divorce, and that he was taking the washing machine with him, WTF!

And painful! When they're bigger and force themselves into rolls it really feels like they're going to pop out like that scene from alien haha. Mine is all over the place. Kicked my tea mug yesterday and spilled it over my stomach lol xx

Tweezer are my best friend right now. I'm getting the odd black (black wtf?!) hairs come up on my nipples and my stomach under my belly button. Out they come seriously. I think you're okay to pluck or wax anything just not shave. The hair madness does cease once baby comes lol xx

Jem, im much hairer with this pregnancy then with dd so maybe it is a boy thing. My eyebrows are fking mental... But i tried plucking them but fked them so have to wait to get them done heh. But my belly is super hairy .. :( dont shave lmao theyll fall out after birth... Hopefully lmao.
 
Baby is being ridiculously active today. I have quite a lot to do soon so hopefully that will send it to sleep for a bit, lol.

Spent almost all of yesterday with our closest friends and their 7 month old baby. Had a wonderful day and I'm really looking forward to baby arriving now and getting out and about to visit people more often. X
Haha maybe our babies had a plan yesterday cuz I swear mine didn't stop yeaterday! You can even feel wee thumps on the outside of my stomach now with your hand which I'm super excited about. Hubby has only felt her once and then the other day he had his hand on my stomach and she kicked right where his hand was and he didn't feel it so was gutted haha xx

Try laying back on the sofa with your belly out at night. I've been able to see my belly move now for a couple of weeks and Dan loves it. I feel like both of us are properly bonding with this baby now, it's awesome..

As for the appointment, it sounds like a double edged sword. Do you have anything you can sell to help? I seriously would consider renting again. I k ow it's not what you want but I bet you'd be better off in a one bed flat than staying with your mum much longer.
Hope you can sort something out soon. I hate credit but I'd even be tempted to get a loan to cover the deposit if possible, you just need out of there. X

Haha I do lay back when he tries but on our bed. I don't think my parents would appreciate the reveal all on the sofa haha

Nope nothing of value except our car which we couldn't live without with it being a small town. Plus it's not worth much to sell, it's worth more to us if we keep it!

We are looking at rentals but it's hard. This town isn't really a rental place.. Most properties available are for sale or if for rent they're absolute dives. There aren't really apartments here either, it's too small a town I guess. We can't take a loan for the deposit, you can't pay for a debt with a debt. You have to show where your deposit came from and also having a further debt might not help us get our mortgage anyway for affordibility xx

Fucking men I swear to God. Went out today to get some maternity bras (wtf is wrong with mothercares bra sizes)and said to OH to clear his crap up please before I got home before he went to work. He dragged down his Xbox last night while I was dealing with Ivy. (Don't even get me started on how he stayed up until 2.30 on it while I sorted our daughter which I'm sure is part of why I'm so mad!) My living room tv is on a swivel bracket on the wall so his Xbox and leads etc were just trailing all over the living room floor.

So I picked up dd from her grans earlier, where OH dropped her off before work since I wasn't home in time. Came home and it's all still over the living room floor, me with Ivy and my bags never saw it and went tripping over it all and went flying head first across the floor.

Fucking Xbox and all its bits are in the bin now I don't even care. I'm probably seriously tired and hormonal and sound like a ranting maniac but I bloody hope it's broken. Can't get the TV back on which isn't helping lol

Dd is fine. Since the doctors is shut today I went into boots and got some prescriptions from the chemist for her. But she's okay and was having a ball at her grans when I got there. Started snowing here too wtf

KHTW I'd have been so annoyed, but she's only 2 and I'm sure it bothered you more than anyone else in the church so at least there's that lol xx

Laura fuck that you really need your own place soon as hun. How did that appointment you had go? Xx
Shan I'd have done the same with the stupid xbox but then my husband wouldnt have been playing xbox until 2.30 in that scenario haha I'd have had some rather sharp words in there and he'd have switched it off pretty damn fast and helped with our ill daughter. I'm not even surprised you're furious with him!

Oh I forgot to update about the appointment. It was quite positive in that my friend checked our eligibility for the co-ownership scheme and we are eligible even despite my husbands "temporary" status in the UK. Because he has a 5 year visa and not a permanent one yet the only bank that would even consider us for a mortgage is Halifax. She also checked affordability and gave us an idea the size of mortgage they would offer so we now know what budget of house price to look at haha the biggest problem is the deposit. Halifax want 10% of the house price. We were hoping they might do the 5% first buyer deposit scheme but they won't touch it. Coownership would pay half the 10% if we went that way so then we could pay 5% but we still aren't even close to the amount we would need and we're hoping to get out by July.

So despite going through our finances and earnings again with a fine tooth comb we aren't any further and it's unlikely we will be able to move out by july. Then after that it'll be harder based on me working part time for the baby and also they require u to be in the same job for 6 months or more and I'm planned to run as fast as I can from this job. I'm going to hand in my notice cuz I don't get maternity from them anyway or statutory maternity and apply for the maternity allowance

Sorry for the long post hahaha xx

Well he went down to sleep on the sofa since he was working the next day. I said go sleep that's fine but he ended up down on his Xbox until stupid oclock. He's not usually like that but honestly I didn't give a fuck yesterday lol. Making up for it today. So far me and dd have had breakfasts in bed without asking and he's been doing everything for her this morning. No mention of the Xbox though it has been fished out of the bin haha

Sounds a bit of a nightmare with the housing situation. But it is positive you can get a mortgage though. Is there no way you'd consider renting now and leaving the buying off for a year or so? Even just a flat..Maybe until you go back to work properly? I hope you find a solution hun. Xx
Hahaha I love that he's sheepishly fished it out and then pampered his ladies! He obviously realises he did the wrong thing. Glad you're having a much better day today! Xx

Happy 27 weeks Shan! Going so fast now! Need to book my mw appointment for next week.

It's amazing how much the movement has increased. I am loving it but yes, the rolling around is nothing short of nauseating sometimes.

Better not be a footballer, lol.
 
Happy 27 weeks to you too GG! Starting to get closer can you believe it?! xx

Actually no. Can't believe it at all. I keep having moments of realisation at just how close the end is and how quickly the time will go.

Positive is, I have now managed to pay off the whole bill at the butchers so the business doesn't owe any money and this week is the start of me being able to make profit. It feels so good. It's allowing me to see more hope for the immediate future. Another month and I'll be able to g at a full time replacement in so that I can take things easier. It's a good feeling.
 
Hi Ladies,

I hope you are all doing great! Can see some of you have got more hair growing.. I had that with my daughter as well but not so much with this one for some reason. With my daughter I got hair on my belly which was a bit weird. One day I just shaved it off and it never came back!

Have been ill with a cold for the last week so been completely knocked out. My DD was ill as well so not had the best of Easter breaks but what can you do :) Feeling ok now but just have this tickly cough which is keeping me awake all night!

Have my next MRI scan next week to see how the baby's brain is growing. Haven't really thought about it for a while now but getting quite nervous when it gets closer..

xx
 
Nice to see you Maria. Sorry to hear about you being ill :(
Hope the MRI gives good results, stay positive! Xx
 
Been to see midwife today as problems not stopped.
Had my blood taken, which was fun as I only have one vein that likes to give anything up. The lady said "oops straight through the vein there, you'll get a nice bruise" thanks!!!!! Then when the needle was removed blood spurted everywhere from my arm haha brilliant.
Blood pressure was fine, baby's heartbeat was fine. She checked my urine and yep.. Wee infection. I haven't got any of the normal symptoms but everything else apparently are signs of an infection. Got a GP appointment for later to hopefully get antibiotics and get this infection gone! Really has knocked me for six and feel soooo awful x
 
Oh Jem that's rubbish but glad you got an appointment to get something. Hopefully it clears up before your holiday hun xx

Maria Good luck for your MRI results for baby. I have everything crossed for you! Sorry to hear you've been ill. Seems like a lot of us have had pretty rubbish luck with illnesses lately xx

GG ooh that's fab news that it's going so well! You should be very proud of yourself, roll on next month you definitely deserve to be taking it easier xx
 
Has anyone had fundal height measured yet? Mine is 31cm and read online it should be the same as how many weeks you are. So is my baby measuring at 31 weeks?? :/
 
Good luck maria. Let us know how you get on. X

Jem, thats how its supposed to be. At my 24 week appoitmeny my bump measuers small ... Next thing ikno theyrs saying im having a huge baby and have lots of fluid. Its just an estimate. If theyre worried they will send you for a scan

Yes hun. Mine was measuring small this time. I'm not too worried though considering how ill I was the weeks before. Measured again now at every appointment. You'll have a little chart in your notes where they'll chart each measurement.

As long as you're in between the guidelines youre usually fine. They'd have told you if you were way off either way. Like PB says it's an estimate xx

Evening,

What a crap week or so! As well as havin a cold that practically knocking me off my feet I can’t sleep and work has been manic with the bank holiday and kids breaking up from school (being a restaurant manager at an airport sucks sometimes),
Been very emotional last few days just cause I think I’m so tired but on the upside the baby cave is complete and all clothes are put away I just have my hospital bag to sort out.

The thought of knowing when maternity leave starts I can relax is such a nice feeling as it’s something I’m not used to as I’m a work a Holic!
