I actually feel great. I'm over tired but i was waiting on these 3 day baby blues thing... Hasn't happened yet. I did have a cry when they said I wasn't allowed home the other day but other than that my mood is amazing.
Didn't need any stitches or anything but muscles down below are badly sore still. Last night I got out of bed and just dropped because they couldn't take the weight. Midwife said i need to calm down and take It easy, full of energy though lol. 1am feed and I feel like I could be up all day now heh

That picture is beautiful PB. One to treasure for sure. You look amazing with your babies. Love it.

Aww PB this is such a beautiful picture!!!! I am glad you are feeling good and that Lucas is doing so well xx

 

[Shepherdess]

Aw PB that's a lovely photo! So happy for you and glad you're home now

Shanivy, I mean you know this but try not to worry about babies size, these estimates are so inaccurate. She's obviously had a growth spurt but even if she carried on along that 75th line she'd be a perfectly average size. I think our minds work overtime, I'm sure my baby will be smaller then dd but why my brain thinks that I've no idea haha

We had a lovely day out yesterday, my hormones are a bit crazy though. I was in a massive grump last night and this morning I've had a cry in bed for no reason. Going for a picnic today though which will be nice

Enjoy your Sundays

 

[KHTW]

Jeez what a night! I had so many regular fanny daggers kind of pain I started to wonder whether it was a start of something?! Clearly it wasn't but God how painful can baby's head moving down there be?!?!?!?

Having my baby shower brunch today, can't wait.

Have a good Sunday ladies x

 

[JemRose]

I know how you feel KHTW it's horrible isn't it haha! So much pressure.

Woken up with what I think is cramp in my swollen fat foot, never had cramp before and not keen!

Got a little work baby shower today, they're taking me out for afternoon tea which will be nice

 

[malagueta]

Hi ladies! Hope you're enjoying your weekends. So much to catch up on. Haha

Lovely photo PB! Two gorgeous babas and you look great too.

Sorry about the family situation GG. Hope Dan's sister manages to recover.

Amy I'm glad you've got something for the heartburn. My heartburn returned a couple of nights ago so I'm back on my ranitidine. Bleugh.

Hubby and I are going to be making a wardrobe today for baby's room. Then I can get started on organising her room and washing all the baby clothes.

Enjoy your baby shower KH.

 

[Shanivy]

Morning everyone. Everyones still sleeping here so sure enough I've been wide awake the one day I could have a lie in lol

PB that's great your doing so well! So happy for, that you had a better all round experience than you did the last time too. No stitches is definitely worth celebrating haha. But yes take it easy hun, make the most of oh being on his paternity and chill with your two babies xx

KHTW they really get ridiculous don't they?! So embarrassing when I'm outside and they hit me. Mine are way worse this time I think.. Unless I've just blocked everything out haha. Enjoy your shower brunch hun! Xx

Shep thanks hun, I know and you're right. Just seems such a contrast from Ivy that I'm now trying not to drive myself crazy about it. Now it's in my head I'm obsessing, and trying not to get myself super anxious about labour I hope you feel better today, was in a massive mood yesterday too. I'm so ready for this one to come xx

Jem I get feet cramps ugh, the leg ones I just straighten and bend my foot to get rid of them. But the feet ones are not nice at all, only one foot though Have a lovely work shower today xx

 

[_GG_]

Oooh, enjoy your showers ladies. Just got sad realising I'm not having one, lol. I never wanted one but just thought, same friends organised a little one or one of us last year but nothing has been organised for me. I feel a little sad, but at the same time, maybe I've said I didn't want a fuss?

Having a great weekend here. Sleep has returned as baby is well and truly down now. I have a hand width of space under my ribs when I get BH now which is so very lovely after having baby lodged up there for so long. Not getting heartburn is just amazing.

're the fanny daggers, Yes, fucking awful ones, especially as baby was actively pushing itself down in the middle of fucking Curry's as we looked at ranges and dishwashers. Every ten steps I'd be jamming my bent knees together and bending over til they passed. I swear about 6 employees were watching like hawks with their phones at the ready, lol.

I've had a spider expert here this weekend so had a full afternoon of spider hunting yesterday and a night hunt too. Nice lie in this morning (I love when guests say they don't wake up til midday) lol...then more hunting in the meadow fields this afternoon. Have found some amazing spiders so I'm thrilled.

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. Xxx

Thanks ladies
Does anyone kno if mouth thrush is serious in babies?? I have the midwife tomorrow for him but will get him into Drs today if need to. Has a white blister type spot in mouth so googled it and seems that what it is, I don't even know how they get it??

The leg cramps are horrid jem! Point your toes upwards if that doesn't help, put your foot flat on the floor.
I never had fanny daggers aha. Also my spd got slighty better a few days before labour to.

Lovely about the baby showers! Hope you have a nice time.
GG i was like that, feel sad cos not having one but then again didn't want the fuss, you could always ask some friends over and not make it into a big thing.
Sorry if I've missed any posts x

 

[Shepherdess]

PB he's very young and prem so I'd maybe call someone just in case. I'm glad you've been feeling well emotionally

GG if you don't want a shower but want to see your friends why don't you invite them out for tea or something? My bestie wanted to throw me a shower but I didn't want a fuss so she insisted we all went out for a curry which we did a couple of weeks ago. Lots of catching up and baby chat without the "shower"

Just back from a walk and picnic. We just went to part of the river that runs over our land, had a lovely time but after an hour we got caught in a huge downpour. Home for a cuppa now

 

[KHTW]

Well I said baby shower but we really just met for coffee, cake and a chat. I didn't want a fuss either. GG you should invite them over and have some coffee and snacks x

 

[JemRose]

At this very moment I feel like I'm a pretty good advert for school kids on why not to get pregnant.

My feet are absolutely massive and swollen and sore. They look deformed. I'm hot, sweaty and sticky.

So at this very moment I'm lying with only pants on in bed, my feet so far up in the air, nothing on the rest of me and an industrial fan pointing at me. Not only that, I need a wee but like fuck am I gonna move, I may just wee myself and I don't care. Also my nipple has just leaked absolutely everywhere so I now also have milk pouring all down my side.

I am so done!

 

[_GG_]

Oh Jem, I feel you chick...I really do.

I've got over myself now about the shower. I just had a moment, lol.

Glad you all had a lovely day and ON, give your mw a call first thing if he's fine in every other way. If he isn't, just call 111 and ask what to do. X

 

[KHTW]

GG wow sounds bad!!! Sending hugs. I hope you feel better tomorrow. Do you think this is because of the warm weather? x

I'm okay, sorry for misunderstanding...was feeling bad for Jem as I've had evenings like that...different reasons but just feeling at the end of my tether.
Not like that this evening, just tired. Baby kicking seven shades of shit out me so at least he/She hasn't been affected by the heat, lol

God it was actually my baby brain in action!!! I read Jem's post but commented with your name... yup baby brain IS A THING!

I asked my pregnant friend yesterday to get me a latte and she came back with a cappuccino. Bought herself the latte i wanted tho haha x

 

[KHTW]

MW at 1.30 today. Curious what she'll say about baby's position. Last time she didn't even check my belly cause 'you have a scan in a few days anyway'. It is the case again so let's see what she says x

 

[Shepherdess]

I'm a bit jealous of you GG saying you've got space at the top now baby has moved down. I don't think I'm particularly short but even though baby is well engaged I've got no space at the top

Jem and khtw did you both enjoy your "showers" yesterday?

Hope your have a good midwife app khtw

 

[JaneyJan]

Ooh Jem that sounds absolutely awful. As do the fanny daggers GG. No milk leakage for me and no vagina kicks/daggers since second trimester but the heat and tiredness definitely getting to me and I've been so emotional and lonely these last few days!

Keep crying over small things. Actually told OH I needed an early night last night and retired at 8:10…he tucked me in and told me later that he heard me snoring about 30 seconds later! And I'm still in bed now lol! (Lots of toilet trips in between obviously) I feel so much better for it though after almost a week of terrible sleep.

Wondering who is next... GG sometimes I wonder if you will make it another two weeks! Don't blame the staff in Curry's! Jem you too...

Hope everyone has a nice Monday x

 

[Shanivy]

PB thought I replied yesterday, sounds like could be oral thrush and I'd do the same as Shep. Just because he was early and to make sure that's what it is. Fx the doctor can help, I'm sure it can disappear in its own though. Let us know how he is hun xx

Jem hope you have a better day today! I'm so done too. Baby is definitely in my pelvis according to my notes, but she's still feeling like she's no room at all. And it's so uncomfortable and painful in my ribs, hips, ugh everywhere. Ivy wasn't like this, and she was long. So I've resigned myself to the fact she must be a big baby :/ but I'm ready for her to be evicted now xx

KHTW lol your baby brain. Good luck for appointment, how weird she wouldn't check position last time, scan or not. If she doesn't want to today, just tell her to. We like to know! Xx
