Lol I'm here 27+6 and feeling yucky! Midwife tomorrow and growth scan Thursday so busy week. Hope everyone is doing well it's scary it doesn't seem 2 mins since we were in 1st tri x

 

[Summerwine]

Thanks for starting the thread CMcDx!

Ladies... the million dollar question - even google can't agree the answer - when does tri 3 start?! Beginning of week 27? I hope so, I may be able to join you Friday then...

 

[Princesssaxy]

Hey all, I’m 30 weeks tomorrow according to scan dates, time is going so slowly and I’m panicking over every movement/quiet period as per, can’t even begin to think about birth even though I know I need to! Had my anti D injection last week and a blood test, both made me feel sick haha

 

[CMcDx]

I've decided to move here haha.
My app and this forum says I'm tri 3 at 27 weeks but Google said week 28. Confusing!!

I don't think I'm freaking out about the birth, think I've already decided it will be horrific and not trying to sugar coat it for my own benefit. I'm nervous about being a parent!

 

[HS1985]

one more week until I can join you officially (due 27th june, team yellow) but thought I'd say hello. Hope your pain is better now CMcDx x

 

[CMcDx]

Don't know why you weren't on the list HS!
Yeah slightly better but really bad at night. Been referred to physio and holistic clinic.
Had midwife this morning, 28 weeks tomorrow. Baby has turned in to position...

 

[Spriddy7]

28+2 growth scan had a baby with his head right down who punched or kicked the probe every time she pressed it on lol but eventually got all measurements and 2lb 5oz so far and all about average! Hope everyone's well I'm currently doing 9 million toilet trips but suppose now seen how low he is explains a lot but very frustrating when you want the relief of a massive wee and it's only a trickle lol xx

 

[Summerwine]

Hi HS

Glad you've been referred CMcDx! FX they can work some magic for you.

That's exciting knowing how much baby weighs Spriddy! I'm with you on the toilet trips, a thimbleful every 20 minutes is frustrating lol!

I took a 'start of tri 3' bump pic this morning, so thought I'd share... can't believe I'm in tri 3 though.

 

[CMcDx]

Aw lovely Spriddy7.
I'm the same toilet wise - constant!

This is my bump. Excuse the background mess - building furniture! And my BF's jammies on ��

 

[CMcDx]

PS anyone planning to Breastfeed?
What do I need To get?

 

[CMcDx]

George have a huge baby sale!!

 

[HS1985]

Beautiful bumps ladies
Thanks for the heads up CMcDx, have a big asda near me - Though I keep getting told off for buying stuff. Apparently I should wait for presents but that feel very presumptuous!
As for breastfeeding I have always said I'll try but to be honest, I've been close to tears at time with how painful my nipples have been (sorry if tmi) and I'm just not sure if be able to do it. As a result I've brought 1 nursing top and not much else to prep for breatfeeding. My mum is on stand by to go for supplies like cream, a pump, storage bags and other clothing if needed but I didn't want to waste the money if my instincts are right x

 

[Princesssaxy]

Just been to triage with reduced movements. Although my baby has no noticeable pattern so not sure if reduced is the right word! I’d still felt some movement but not as much and I just totally freaked out and cried over the phone. Got hooked up to heart rate monitor for 40 mins and they seemed happy, it obviously started moving more as I was in there. I did feel a bit stupid but always better to be safe, hubby also said that given I have anxiety issue the fact that I’ve got this far without going in for anything is a bloody achievement!. Heart rate was ranging between 140 ish and sometimes high 170s when it went crazy!

Off to cinema now to try to relax with sugary popcorn haha, feel absolutely drained!

Hope all is well with everyone and your babies have more of a pattern than mine!

 

[CMcDx]

Glad to hear everything is alright Princess.

I had a panic last weekend had absolutely no movement until night time. Then it was non stop.
Have you had any increase?

 

[Summerwine]

I'm sorry to hear you have had a rough weekend Princess - glad you know all is well though.

My little un's pattern seems to be awake all night and asleep all day although he does get excited after a meal... definitely a boy.

I'm starting to feel 'big' now! I found Easter weekend really hard, been doing some decorating round the house but my hips ache and I've been getting loads of pressure 'down there'. It feels like that pain you get when you really need a wee, only constant. It's great fun when I'm out with the dog!

It didn’t stop all night...karma! Think it was the popcorn!!

Got a midwife appt tomorrow so will mention my stress again about not being ale to find a pattern. I think it’s getting so near now and I’m worried about something going wrong so close to the end.

 

[HS1985]

Hope you're feeling better after some support from the midwife Princess.
I feel so whiney but I am so full of a cold it's annoying me! Paracetomol are not doing me any favours at all either, it's putting the 1st trimester cold to shame. I miss full on max-strength cold tablets! I also have my first growth scan today so nerves are edging in with a lack of sleep. Urgh I just want to feel normal. I loved my 2nd trimester, I hope the 3rd doesn't carry on like this.
Hope everyone else is doing well

 

[HS1985]

I may be jumping months ladies, and I'm mega freaked out. Our 1st growth scan today didnt go to well and has scared us witless. they are talking about getting baby out at 34 weeks which is early May, I feel at a bit of a loss and really stupid for whinging about my cold now

 

[Princesssaxy]

What did they say? It is small or big? From what I've read the chances of your baby being absolutely fine is high so try to stay positive!

I had my whooping cough injection yesterday and now can’t move my arm above my head and it’s throbbing!
