***June 2019 Mummies***

[baby.3]

I've never had the popping sound, I bet that's so weird! I've had low hiccups but not popping.

Smcx, sorry you've had a rough night. Hope you manage to have to nice chilled day. I've actually slept really well the last couple of days. Not sure if it's because we gutted the bedroom, tidy house tidy mind and all that jazz! Lol. More likely cause is that she's shifted and isn't sat awkward anymore lol.

Rubbish weather here, so think I'll just mill about and tidy up. Probably go see the inlaws at some point.

Hope everyone has a good weekend xxx

Thought it would be a great idea to start a huge tidy up. Sent the kids to do chores while I battled the washing and my room.
My 4 year old did a cracking job, my 7 year old is going on Ebay soon lol her tidying is jaw dropping. Never seen it so bad, so shes being a stroppy madam now.
I over did it with the hoovering so my 4 year old is now looking after me lol

 

[Bubbles1987]

Aww bless your 4 year old marvellous!!

What rubbish weather this weekend?! Quite a comparison to the last bank holiday. But then I’m not looking forward to this heat wave and being heavily pregnant and in labour!

Had a couple of full on days and late nights so quiet cuddles on sofa with oh tonight xx

Hope you feel OK after your tidying Marvellous! Your 4yo seems like a superstar!

We had an antenatal class at the hospital this weekend. DH thought it was great as he had no clue about what was going to happen. I found the MW running it really annoying, she said some stupid things when I think she was trying to be funny like how they laugh at women who keep coming back in with their bags packed before they even get to 3cm. And how they assess based on how calm you seem whether they think you can hack it and if they don't think so they won't let you use the waterbirth as they don't want to fish you out after 5 minutes for an epidural. It's seemed more negative than the hypnobirthing online pack I used and DH nearly got yelled at for suggesting that maybe that's more realistic. So I'm really focusing on getting back into a positive place. I'm doing everything I can to have a positive birth but I do understand that anything can happen.

 

[SmithyBaby]

Abi at least you got to look around I guess. My hospital doesn't offer that any more and there are no antenatal classes either. Just rubbish!
That's very silly of her to say though. Every mother, every birth and every baby is different. Very rude to generalise like that. Maybe if she was more positive she wouldn't be fishing women out that quickly for pain management. I really dislike women like that who judge other women's choices, we are supposed to lift and support each other especially through these tough times xxx

 

[Smcx]

Is anyone else finding there emotions are hormones are all over the place?
I thought I’d done quite well til now the littlest thing sets me off crying then I just can’t stop!

 

[baby.3]

I'm actually finding my emotions easy to handle this time round. Last pregnancy was a different story though, I was an emotional and hormonal wreck lol.

I am however so fricking uncomfortable all the damn time now. I'm finding it hard to do anything. I desperately want to clean but I'm so out of breath or sore from aching that I find it nearly impossible

Also notice my feet are starting to puff up now. Wouldn't say they where swollen, but they definitely have a little puffiness to them... Oh the glam of pregnancy. Did anyone else get missed out when it came to the so called pregnancy glow?!

Oh and to top it off, I now have horrific acid and sickness has returned!! What's that all about?!

Yup! Was feeling happy as larry brushing my teeth this morning then I suddenly burst into tears for NO REASON. Then I was fine. So strange!

I'm in a fair bit of pain now too. Will be interesting to find out whether or not baby is engaged yet as I feel like my pelvis is going to snap in two. I'm also getting the acid again but annoyingly I'm also starving all the time but eating sets it off. Not fun!

 

[Smcx]

My sickness has come back a bit aswell, ill be fine brushing my teeth then bam I’m being sick. The other day I was fine hadn’t eaten already then was making toast but I felt a bit sick then next thing puking up into my kitchen sink and then carried on eating my toast haha!

I’m shattered today and my heads banging so I’m just staying in bed

Got my maternity photoshoot tomorrow which I still haven’t found any clothes to wear for so going to have to look through my wardrobe soon to find something for it

 

[Marvellous_mum]

I'm just bad tempered. Don't like anyone atm lol think the lack of sleep isn't helping.
My husband works very long hours so I'm home alone with the kids a lot, and cant get out much.

 

[Linnett3]

I haven’t actually been emotional at all during pregnancy. I get terrible pms the week before my period usually and I am the biggest bitch so I’ve actually been so nice since being pregnant lol.

Had homebirth midwife come today. She went through all the things they can do. They can do pretty much exactly the same as the hospital. There’s no reason if I have a bleed again they can’t treat it at home, obvs if it’s not too big. They said they can give me 2 shots after baby is born (usually it’s just the one) to deliver placenta quicker as that tends to be what can causes a bleed. They can insert a cannula if needed. She’s gonna get another set of bloods done just to check iron etc is all ok. If not I can start taking tablets for that just to get me in best form for labour. Bumps measuring fine but she couldn’t get over how much space I still have at the top - See attaché pic. I’ve had no issues with baby being high up thankfully as he / she just lays across the bottom.
She couldn’t be certain how baby was laying - she thinks it might be breech at the min but still plenty of time to change. I have a growth scan at 37 weeks & she’s said if I do measure big then they can start doing sweeps then to hopefully save me going overdue again. So in 4 weeks I could possible start having them! Eeek! She’s deff confirmed even more that I want a homebirth though

 

[Marvellous_mum]

My bump Is the exact same linnett. Must be these 3rd babies lol.

 

[Abi88]

Wow Linnett you bump really is low. Do you have quite a long torso? I have quite long legs and a short body so my bump seems to fill up all the space between my boobs and my underwear! Will they scan you again to see baby's position? I was a breech baby and so was my sister, born naturally, so there's proof it can be done even if they don't cooperate and turn!

I haven't been particularly emotional as in crying but I have been very sullen. Honestly it feels like puberty again. If anyone annoys me I want to stomp off and slam doors and do angry crying but I haven't really done any sad crying. The acid reflux only gets bad for me if I forget to take my pills for it. And I don't know if my baby is getting engaged either as I have had a dull ache in my pelvis on and off but its not been too bad.

It's great news about the royal baby isn't it?! I just hope they don't use the name we picked. I quite liked both George and Charlotte but didn't consider them because of the royal children. I don't think I would change my baby's name now even if it was the same but I still feel stressed. At least Rory isn't one of the favourite names, they probably won't use it.

 

[Marvellous_mum]

Charlotte was on my list when I was having my 2nd, but we had a boy. Just glad shes not stealing my girl name this time lol.

 

[Bubbles1987]

Linnett and marvellous mine is also really low so def a third baby thing I reckon! Ligaments have given up holding the bump up haha. Is nice though as never get out of breath or feel cramped, just very difficult to pee with a baby in between your legs!

Linnett I’m more and more tempted by a home birth but nearest hospital is 50 mins away so worries me a little. Would def do it if I was closer! Sounds lovely xx

 

[Marvellous_mum]

Oh God the peeing. I'm at the point where I think wearing a nappy would benefit me as I'm sick to death of climbing the stairs. Last week or so it's got worse. Don't think my bladder will ever be the same lol

 

[Caz2018]

I think you ladies are lucky to have the option for a home birth- it would be lovely if it did go to plan.

I’ve got just over 3 weeks left so starting to feel anxious and also still waiting on family members to get back to us if they can look after the girls when we go in for section that afternoon. Once I know childcare is all sorted will feel much better.

Me and the other half are just debating on pram - we seen two we like in mothercare but just can’t decide!

 

[baby.3]

It can't be a 3rd baby thing, I'm on number 3 and she's so high I feel like I could cough her up! Lol. Maybe I'm just an exception to the rule haha.

I think I might ring the gp tomorrow and see if I can't get a bucket of anti acids to help... Because at this rate I'm going to end up spending a small fortune on gaviscon.

Finally the Royal baby is here, she seems to have been pregnant for forever! I'm so glad they had a boy lol. Although not much chance of them picking Darcie as a royal name lol.

Last time I was pregnant it was when Kate was pregnant with George. We actually had George short lists on our baby list of names but ended up picking Harrison.

Talking of names we've picked Darcie but can't decide on a spelling. Would you pick Darcy, Darcie or Darcey?

 

[baby.3]

Caz, which prams did you pick? Not long now and you'll have your little one with you.

Was anyone else a little jealous at the announcement of the Royal baby? Like I really want my baby here now, so I'm jealous she has hers haha
