Wow, not many of us left in here now eh? Have been keeping an eye on it from Australia. Last day here now and apart from a dodgy stomach it has been amazing, but oh so short (8 days). Felt decidedly less pregnant though, as my sister had her baby shower and a massive growth spurt while I've been here and is now waddling around looking enormous. Our poor baby has been quite confused I think with all the traveling and jet lag so his movements have been so different. Think I'm just having a growth spurt now too.

I'm dreading leaving today. Can't imagine that the next time I see my sister we will have 8/9 month olds! Is going to be so hard to be separated by all that distance.. oh dear I'm getting emotional already.

This spritz-for-bits sounds fascinating. I don't know if anyone else is starting to feel quite worried and sorrowful about what's going to happen to their bits down there...I am!

It feels strange that 3rd trimester is closing in. I'm so happy and can't quite believe that my baby could already survive outside the womb. As I've said before, once we get home, we're going to start chopping and changing so much around the house and getting baby stuff ready. I'll have just 7 weeks of work left and I've been signed off nights finally although that was a faff!

OMG forgot to tell you guys, we got one purchase this holiday that I'm so happy that we're bringing home. We got this massage chair insert thing that you throw on any chair/sofa/car and it massages your neck and back with different settings and heat etc. It. Is. Amazing. Sounds like some of you guys could use a good long session on it!

I too am getting more uncomfortable waddling around and feeling aches and pains and also struggling to sleep exclusively on my side... Will have to read that article, but I've stopped caring so much if I need some relief and go on to my back for a bit in the night. I don't sleep well so it's not for long anyway, maybe an hour and baby isn't crushing me yet.

Massage pad sounds awesome! I'd check with mw before using it while pregnant though. I have one here that says not to be used when pregnant due to temperature increase I think. Xx

Sounds like you've had an amazing trip!!! that's so lovely you got to go to your sisters baby shower too. hehe I am sure you miss her a lot while you wait between trips.

Definitely starting to feel sorry for myself about the fact that the baby has to come OUT haha I really didn't think this through at all! haha I wouldn't change it of course but I will try anything to try to minimise the sorrow, pain and bleeding. I feel like I don't even look pregnant, still just look like I ate loads of cake. She's moving loads and the last scan confirmed she's on track growth wise so I guess I just don't show that much.

The massage idea sounds terrific haha I would die for that, I don't even know how my back is alive.

I did something crazy today- I quit my job!!! I still can't believe it! xx

This may sound really daft, but I'm considering quitting the pub too. Not making enough yet to employ someone but I'm starting to struggle now to cope physically so having to give it some real thought and consideration.

Definitely don't rush into that one, I thought things were going really well? I get the physical side but you've only a possible 10 weeks left of pregnancy xx

Thanks everyone, I feel AMAZING! the best I have felt in forever.

I've been talking things over with hubby lately and it was actually him who pushed me to do it. He has been watching me struggling with it so much. I hate the place so much so being so ill all the time with the ridiculous levels of sickness, then the pain in my abdomen for weeks on end making it impossible to sit still for periods of time and sit in a chair comfortably, being completely exhausted from not sleeping at night due to pains and stress. Then when I call in sick or was signed off by the doctor I spent the whole time being incredibly anxious about letting work down and being unreliable. Then the 2 or 3 days before I was due to return to work each time was spent in this awful anxiety, panic-attack ridden status worrying that they were going to be horrible cuz they kept calling meetings and it was just horrific.

I had reduced my hours way down to practically nothing and I was still coming out of work crying with pain from sitting or from struggling not to be sick or generally just the fact that the job in itself is awful and its a call centre environment. I have been off the last few days and I was due back today and my husband refused to let me go, especially since I had been awake from 4am having panic attacks, heart palpitations and generally not coping with my life.

So I rang work to tell them I wouldnt be back in today, then also requested my team leader to call me as she wasnt in yet. Then she got back to me a few hours later and it's done! I can't believe it! x

 

[LuckyLaura]

Also I have been falling massively behind in uni and was talking about quitting so I feel like this weight off my shoulders might help kick start me into catching up and doing some actual exam prep for my June exam! xx

 

[malagueta]

I'm another joining the vagina concerns club haha. The bigger my bump gets the more aware I am that this baby has to come out.

Congrats on quitting your job Laura. It must be a weight off your shoulders.

Vagina Concerns Club! VC club, save the vaginas!- love it haha I actually laughed out loud there when I read that.

Thank you! I am walking on air today, which is quite a feat considering im a heffalump today! xx

 

[LuckyLaura]

I swear today is the first day in ages I've actually had time to sit down and browse the forum and read other threads and there is so much going on it makes me laugh so much hahaha so many trolls x

 

[_GG_]

I won't rush into anything, but it is a consideration. It's being practical as it's hard now, 10 weeks to go, then getting over a c section, then having a baby here...it can only work if it makes enough money to pay staff to cover for me. Not a single person came in last night.

Will give it time but it's definitely a possibility.

I'm sorry to hear that you are considering this I thought that it had hit a good milestone as you said it was finally starting to make a profit. It would be a shame after all the hard work you have put into it xx
