[cornishfairy]

I've landed! So glad to be here. I've not enjoyed pregnancy much so far (despite waiting such a long time for it!) so I'm glad to be in the final countdown. Here's to 13 weeks of being terrified by labour stories! X

Great bump Jojo

Welcome Lucy yay!

I wish my phone would upload pics properly...I'll have to work out what's going on as I do have bump pics! X

 

[vic30]

And 28 weeks today! Eeeeek! X

 

[Sproglett]

Beautiful bump Jojo,
I dunno about tiny before, I wish lol.
I gained 4 1/2 with my DS and I lost the majority of that by his 1st birthday (in fact I lost it all by the time he was 9 months then put some back on lol) so I'm sure you will be fine Jojo, my friend at work has only gained 6lbs and she's 35w! I don't think it matters as long as you and baby are ok x

Morning ladies, sorry I haven't been on in a while - I've missed so much, hope everyone is doing well. Bumps are looking great, mine is getting bigger & bigger - bellybutton is due the pop I think, I keep looking at it and thinking are you coming out? lol

I had my 28week appointment on Friday which went well, waiting on my blood results this morning for my iron levels just to make sure they are all ok. Also had my whooping cough jag this morning, wasn't as stingy as I thought it was going to be so that's a bonus . X

 

[jojo3972]

Welcome over Lucy , my weight seems to have stabilised this past week not gaining so I'm ok with that , had growth scan today baby weighs 2.2 lb awww spot on and fluid and flow to placenta all looking gd, she didn't look at placenta position so il have to wait till 32 week one to see what's going on there n have growth scan same time , got my anti d in arm bloody hurt like a bitch and my arm is very sore but much better than having a sore ass lol xxx

 

[vic30]

Got my 28 wk appt tomorrow afternoon. I'd be looking forward to it if I didn't have to have anti D! x

 

[Sproglett]

Good luck with your anti-d Vic, hopefully it'll not be too cold for you. x

 

[kautostar]

In Tri 3 at last! Yay! Just 9 weeks at work left for me and I'm really on countdown now. We're off shopping again tomorrow and yet more pram trying out, it's a bit addictive lol!

 

[Sproglett]

Welcome over kautostar!

I have 5 weeks left at work woo hoo (only work 2 days a week so only 10days - sounds better right?).

 

[vic30]

Thanks Sprog and hi kautostar - enjoy the pram shopping!

Ooh I've finally updated my ticker! X

 

[Sproglett]

Yay for your updated ticker
How was your anti-d? X

 

[vic30]

Appt was good. Different midwife again though - having said that and immediately rolling my eyes she's lovely and I'd really like her next time! Read my notes very quickly and write down I'd been to physio and do have SPD. She went to get anti d injection out if the fridge and came back, checked it thoroughly with my notes, the notes with it, and the box while explaining what she was doing and what it's for. She then took it out of the packet and changed the needle as she says the ones you get with it are rubbish! She then took my blood pressure which did make me giggle as It was like, here's the needle, now let's take your blood pressure! Lol. Blood pressure and urine fine. She told me the injection would sting lol. But I'd rather them say something than me start asking if it should feel like it does. It didn't sting too much to start with but then got worse. It dripped over my arm but must've just been a bit. Arm already a bit sore but at least it's my right as i sleep more on my left.

Then we did the exciting and important stuff! Baby is measuring 27cm - she says that's ok. Lying across my tummy and I thought that yesterday actually when I felt pressure and movement in a half doughnut type shape under my belly button. Heartbeat sounded like a galloping horse this time - it was so loud, must've been the position. Anyway, all good and next appt at 31 weeks xx

 

[Jazzy.fizzle]

Not officially due over here till tomorrow but I'm totally feeling 100% preggers today! Feeling like a barrel, absolutely shattered, and spd playing it's part today. Meh! Bubble bath and early night for me before three days of work after being signed off last week. Dunno if I'll survive! (Man up jasmine!!) x

 

[Hayley_may]

What prams have people decided on? I'm goin to buy mine Sunday so final decision time lol!

Is anyone noticing their hair falling out? Mine seems to be all over my clothes by the end of the day is it common does anyone know?

Also I had 31 week appt yesterda, baby is still head down but not quite engaged. Measuring 32 weeks and hb was v strong

My back is in agony now, and I'm starting to feel a little tired, 6 weeks till I leave work, looking forward to that if the weather stays like it is today xx

 

[Sproglett]

Fair play Vic, hope the pain doesn't get too bad.

Awww jazzy bless you. I don't have that barrel feeling this time as bad as I did with my DS so I still feel like I can do anything at the moment, although had pain in my lower spine all day Sunday but think that was just how baby was lay.
Hayley yay for baby being head down measurements sound great, I have my 31w appointment next Monday (although technically it's my 28w app as I didn't have one at 28 due to being at a scan appointment and my mw doesn't like me to constantly get prodded and poked! I am looking forward to it though, will be nice to get measured and to see if my peanut is still breech (was on Thursday before last) x x

I've got a Baby Jogger City Versa and love it. I used to have a Stokke Xplory, which was great, but I fancied a change with this baby lol. The BJ seat isn't suitable from birth, but I found a great newborn insert from Mamas & Papas that means I won't have to spend £100+ on the carrycot after all.

Pregnancy is the only time my hair doesn't fall out out lol. I have very fine hair and hubby is always complaining about it clogging up the drain hole in the shower lol! I actually get reasonably luscious locks when I'm carrying babies! Shame it does nothing for the grey hairs though lol.

 

[Cherrybelly]

Hello Tri 3!! Let the final countdown begin!!

We're toying between two travel systems: the graco evo in lime or the cosatto giggle in treet. Need to go and have a good play when we get time! It's been a hectic week and I'm shattered. There's still so much to do but we're getting there. Oh is really good and been at my old flat most evenings after work sorting it out, I pick up my new car on Saturday and the cats haven't killed eachother yet so it's all good!

Sorry you're feeling crappy jazzy - you could always get signed off for a bit longer if it's too much? Xxx

 

[Jazzy.fizzle]

I have the graco evo in chilli! Looking forward to pushing baby around in it!

Yeah cherrybelly I think I'll have to go into work tomorrow and see how I get on, I can always get signed off if it's too much at the moment! I can't help but feel lazy at home! Xx
