**March 2012 Babies**

[BevG]

i feel like a wishbone. about to be pulled in half by each leg lol. my cervix kills when i get up or move and when im trying to get comfy at night. once ive walked for a bit it stops hurting and just goes uncomfortable instead lol. ive had this for a few weeks since baby went head down, not had engagement mentioned at any mw app but its getting increasingly sore each week now.

o and yeah girls ive noticed baby dosent seem to be able to make too many big or quick movements now but she still nudges me loads and wriggles her elbows and legs. there are more rolling type movements than kicks.

Thanks girls. I thought it was baby just getting in to position, I'm trying to see the good side to everything. And I don't know know anything about baby being engaged, i can't think it would be this early.

Well I was reading up chapter 35 in my week by week book last night and it actually mentioned those sharp pains down below and said its babys head bouncing up and down off ur cervex

Im feeling well fed up today, just wanna finish up work ( on the 17th so forever away) and relax, im just not able for anything anymore, iv got 2 little feel in my lungs making it hard to breath n sore hips n hands n feet n generally just feeling very sorry for my self

Gonna try the RLT this week i think, How are u all gettin on with it?

Hi girls!!

Well, my little girl got back to her normal self the day after she had been a bit quiet, so I was so relieved!

I also some days have some pains in my foof, and I heard that someone said this could be baby engaging, but I'm not sure. Can't wait to see mw next week and find out what position baby is in. Sometimes I feel like she's all over the place.

I've actually started to like RLT - I've been drinking one cup a day for two weeks now. But it must be hot!! (it don't taste good when it's cold).

Bevg: when were we suppose to drink more than one cup a day? 36 weeks`? I can't remember:S

Hi girls, I've had a couple days off work because i've been completely exhausted! Makes me realise how much I can't wait to start my mat leave. 4 weeks and counting!

Baby was a bit quiet yesterday but lots of movement today - was probably exhausted like me! Been getting quite a few period type pains - I assume everything is just getting prepared in there!

I'm 32 weeks so should I hang on for a bit before I start RLT?

Xx

 

[littlemuffin]

I have a RLT every couple of days. But I am at work, and I can't leave my desk without someone sitting at it. So I don't really like to bother people to come and take over.

I can't wait for my ML. I looked at the bed this morning, and I don't know how I didn't get back in to it.

 

[Esperanza84]

coolbeans: I started rlt when I was 32 weeks - one cup a day. I haven't really noticed any difference. But if you're unsure of what to do, ask your mw and see what she tells you.

I'm also counting down. I have 7 days of work left, 1 this week, 4 the week after and than 2 more days (I do have more working days, but I don't have to get into the school as I don't teach the other days, so I work from home). Counting down - can't wait!!

I started 1 RLT capsule a day at 32 weeks, then been on 2 a day since 33 weeks and am gonna up it again at 34 weeks to 4 capsules a day and leave it at that. Have read it will lead to a speedy 2nd stage of labour so will be confirming or denying this after baby is born! Also gonna start evening primrose oil orally and inserting at either 34 or 36 weeks, can't remember which was recommended? Xxx

 

[Coolbeans2010]

Might get some RLT in then!! Anyone tried or going to try perineal massage? I've heard mixed reviews about the effectiveness of doing this! Xx

 

[nikki8092]

Well i started the RLT capsules at 31 weeks ish and spoke to midwife about evening primrose and she said i could try taking orally at 32 weeks so i did and i tell you something my bh have got awfully strong in last couple of days so think im gonna stop and wait till 34 weeks. Not sure if its coincidence or not... x

I was suppose to start this - I've heard that it helps a lot (according to studies done on many women, don't have the link on this laptop, but can find it later on). The thing is, I'm so tired after working a lot, so I haven't been very consistent yet. But I figure when I start my ML I will definantly do it every day. For now, I'm trying to do it at least 3 times a week. Must be better than nothing right??

 

[Esperanza84]

How are you feeling March ladies???

 

[Nurse 26]

hey esperanza! cant believe it is feb now! We will be mummies next month
so exciting but so scary too!

My bump seems to have grown alot past couple of weeks, will do pic today, still not feeling too bad though, just the usual heartburn and a bit of backache, apart from that i cant complain. Our car seat arrived yesterday so going to get OH to practice with putting it in car next week.

How are you hun? xx

 

[nikki8092]

OMG next month! Just cant believe its come round so quick. Hope you ladies are all well x

 

[Rachel1509]

Hello all!

Cannot believe were in February already! Its becoming quite real now - and one born every minute is starting to scare me a bit!

Had MW appointment yesterday, all is fine, but she's given me an extra appointment for next week because I've been measuring same for past 3 weeks, so I hope everythings ok with LO. Movements have slowed down now and I'm feeling very sore and very heavy now which is making me extremely grumpy!!

How's everyone managing?

I've started feeling sick! Although nothing comes up....it must be how baby is lying! Still tired but have been so busy with packing and other stuff that I haven't been able to just rest yet. First week of maternity leave and it's been lovely! Although very busy! Went back into work today just to pick up some tickets and met the girl who is covering me and she was so overwhelmed with it all! Bless her but I said just email me if you need to ask a question! I'm quite happy she's not better than me! (is that really bad) nice to know i'm missed!

[nikki8092]

I only just started buying baby stuff this week.... Wanted to leave it as long as possible so that the last few weekss dont drag. Bought the moses basket and rocking stand, some baby vests andthats it so far. Still got clothes from when jake and paige were born so not too concerned about that. Will start my bag on monday i think. Has everyone else bought everything?? x

 

[Rachel1509]

I haven't even been in touch with work since I left for ML.. It's like a distant memory!

Hugsy, I've said multiple times today that I don't mind him coming early - because I'm getting so grouchy and grumpy and taking it out on the closest person to me at the time, so Feb is fine with me too! I had a right little paddy earlier on while out shopping, my mum just kept quiet while leaving OH to sort me out haha, bless her! Everyone's so patient with me. I don't know what excuse I'm gonna use for my grumpyness when I'm not pregnant

I didn't think it was possible, but sleeping has gotten EVEN MORE difficult! I could cry sometimes, it's so frustrating!
