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

GG you have the patience of a Saint with those in laws!

Lol...that day was hilarious. They wanted to sit in the living room where Dans desk is in the corner. First thing MIL did was put the tv on with the remote. I turned it off at the tv and then the wall and said, "Dan is working Pat, he needs quiet". Then she put her iPad on and started playing solitair with the volume up. I said, "PAT...NO". She begrudgingly put it on silent. Then fil came in, tried to turn the tv on and MIL said, "Cheryl turned it off because she won't let us make any noise". So I said, "yep...we did say not to come before 6 for a reason. Why don't you pop into Gloucester for a bit?". Much huffing and agreement that they'd sit and be quiet. 10 minutes later after listening to various sweet wrappers being opened by mil, lots of huffs and fil talking constantly to the dogs...Dan ordered them out of the house, lol
 
GG for goodness sake :roll: my in laws always turn up way earlier than they say even though they're currently 10 minutes away but jeez not that much lol. At least yours aren't moving around the corner! Xx

Jem happy 21 weeks lovely. Glad you're feeling better about it all. Fx this week is a better week! lol I know and for once I didn't edit haha. Currently in a cafe and dd is very upset at the chairs they have, the woman who is (not) looking at her, her juice and I'm sure something else before we leave. Yay for today haha. Xx

My niece is horrible today! She has tried to jump on my stomach several times despite being told there is a baby in there. "it's not a baby aunty jemma it's a boy!" She's bitten and pinched me! Don't think she likes pregnant ladies haha
 
No worries Shep. I'm mentally exhausted, it would have been less stressful if it were a temp haha. OH has been so irritable today too since he's coming down with a cold of all things. Like it's a cold relax yourself. So I gave up and came home. And I'm the hormonal pregnant one imagine that lol. Hope your day is going better than mine! Xx

Ooh Jem I couldn't be having that! I'd have said come and get your kid fk this lol. Hope you're relaxing now after that! Xx
 
Jem i would have said something to the parents. My little sister punched me in my stomach and my mom had serious words.
I hope dd has changed her mood shan lol, oh and of you you wish that breatfeeding thing you wanted was 19 quid x

Yeah, I agree. If a child of mine did that to anyone...especially a pregnant woman, a good lesson in acceptable behaviour would be given. What if you'd just had surgery or were further aling and more at risk Jem. Look after yourself. X
 
Evening ladies :)

I'm feeling worried. Had my 20w scan on Thursday, head was measuring small so now we have to see a consultant and have another scan (this tues). I've been told not to google which I haven't. Am hoping it's just genetics playing a role as i'm not the biggest built person (not short) just smallish build etc.
Still can't help but worry :roll:

Don't know why i'm posting this really.
 
Well ladies DD became a happy laughing angelic little girl because Grandad came over. So there we go haha. Im telling you when they get to 4 the attitude is unreal!

Jem did you say anything about your niece? My eldest nephew punched my stomach once when he was 5. I was about 7 months pregnant with Ivy and minding him. I was so shocked but I didn't take it at all. Neither did OHs bother and sister in law and I got a sorry card from him etc. I met him when he was 2 and has always known me as his auntie, so it turned out he was just really jealous and not knowing how to cope that we were having our own baby. But in that case if shes just a little brat, its a little different xx

Yes definitely dont google! We're all guilty for it. I'm sorry you've had such a scare hun. But I'm sure all is fine, babies can catch up all the time. Did they give you any possible reasons for it? xx

No just said it could be due to my build and the consultant may just look at me and say all is well. But lady we saw on Thursday said do not google loads of times, which has made us paranoid now. At least we are being seen again quickly, although this is making me worried as well :roll:

Aw hun she's just said that because if you do, you'll get a thousand rare and unlikely reasons that you'll panic over. You'll end up absolutely believing those things are what is wrong. And that won't be the case for baby at all.

It's such a good thing they're getting you to a consultant so fast, so you don't have more days than necessary of worrying. I'm sure the reason for that is just to confirm everything asap so they don't leave you stressing youself out. Chances are it's just exactly what they said. It's your little baby so nothing I say will probably help but I have everything crossed that baby will be okay hun xx

Thanks Shanivy, this weekend cannot go quick enough :-(

I did feel baby kick last night though from outside as well (hand on tummy), got anterior placenta too so not been feeling a great deal, so that did make me feel a bit better :)

That is precisely why they've told you not to Google anything. Your weekend would easily be ruined by horror stories that are highly unlikely and at the weekend, there's nothing you can do about it and nobody to call so they've just tried to save you some worry.

I have an anterior placenta and felt baby with my hand on my belly for the first time last night as well. Amazing isn't it.

Please try to manage the worry you're bound to be feeling as you already know the likely reason for it. Xx

Just had to reply, with my 2nd James his head was measuring small at out 20 week scan and we had a follow up scan a week later and all was fine. This was after 3 people took measurements the 1st scan. Baby can just be in a really awkward position to get an accurate measurement. Hope all is ok at your next scan xx

Very nice of you to post that kanga x

Yes I did when her mum got home. Her mum sat her down and explained and we showed her the scan photo and she came over and stroked my stomach and said awww sorry baby. When I left she came over and said goodbye to me and then hugged my stomach and said goodbye baby boy. The scan photo really seemed to change things for her x
 
Well, I'm here in bed, due to be up in 5 hours and I've had Dan holding me and getting tissues for me and then letting the fuck go of me immediately when I've said so only to have me grab his hand again 10 seconds later.

I have no idea how to describe the last 30 minutes but it was bloody awful. Started at 10 as I finished cleaning the kitchen at the pub. Just Hip/pelvic ache and a general feeling of tiredness. I went home but, long story so will save you it...kind of agreed to give another chap a lift home. Said I'd be back at 11.30 which I was. This chap is lovely but not mindful or thoughtful and is completely blind...so when we dropped him home (Dan always walks him to his back door) he called his mum out to say hello to Dan and called the dog too. Dan is too polite bless him. He was being polite and chatting and fussing the dog and I was sat in the car getting more and more angry. Dan eventually came back and was greeted with, "I've just done two 12 hour days not including the horses, all of which is on my feet and I'm pregnant, in pain and knackered, so from now on, you say to whoever it is that you'd love to stop and chat but you can't because, well, me". I felt awful but justified but awful at the same time.
Got back, Dan insisted on doing the hay for the ponies himself as I'd already said I wasn't feeling well. I went to bed, lay on left, hip on fire. Lay on right, felt sick and short of breath. Lay on back, left leg dead and groin on fire. Baby moving making me feel super nauseous. Breathing became really shallow s0o interspersed with regular snatching deep breaths but they set round ligament pain off so never felt like I could fill my lungs. Then I'd cough, set round ligaments off again. Make breathing worse. Felt like I was having heart palpitations but not...was weird. Felt like all internal organs were being forced up under my chin. Tried to sit up, felt worse. Dan came in after taking the dogs out and I asked for some extra tissues, he brought them back and I burst into tears which made breathing worse which meant more deep breaths, more ligament pains, more sick feeling and more tears.

Bless Dan, he just held me and did what I needed...or not...as needed. He felt totally helpless but he really wasn't.

Feeling a bit more normal now and he's gone to sleep. Baby is doing the riverdance in me now but not making me feel sick thankfully.

No idea what that was all about but I never want to experience it again!

Any other mums here had anything like that before? Not sure I described it very well. Felt like my organs were being compressed.

Ah, that's actually really sweet. Bless her. Ah, your little boy. You'll have a son Jem. You'll be the centre of his world forever. Xxx

oh GG that sounds really frightening. how are you this morning?

can't say I've ever experienced that. last time I had a bug we were driving home and my heart was racing and my chest was so tight I thought I was having a heart attack. couple of hours later I felt loads better but when me and oh cuddled up on the couch he was like "wow your heart is going so fast" it was strange but sounds different to what you describe

I know it's hard for you on a Sunday but maybe try and take it easy

we had a nice day yesterday, DD didn't manage to get baking but we helped husband feed the sheep and had a nice long walk with puppy. last night we visited one of my husband's best friends and his wife who have a week old baby, I could have held him all night, it was lovely.

not much on today, got some lovely lamb cutlets to make for lunch and hoping to do a bit more nursery work as I've not done any this week

how is everyone find their hair growth when pregnant? I found I'm not need to shave my legs as much but my fringe is needing cut every two weeks while it's usually 4 and the bit I really hate.. I've had a few dark hairs appear on my jaw line :'( I've always had a bit peach fuzz which never bothers me but these are so dark and thick and awful, so embarrassing
