***** May 2015 Mummies to be *****

[Elliott]

Ahh little on is being worryingly quiet again maybe this is just normal for me but I cant relax until I feel her again

 

[buttonbear]

Full day of shopping for me got lots of new dresses and things to wear as I just feel massive!! Also got lots of hospital bag bits as even though I'm hoping for a homebirth i still have to have one packed(especially if she stays transverse) so I feel good knowing i have lots of bits now!

Also picked up little ladys bouncer which is exciting!!

Hope everyone is feeling better

Caseysmummy and Mayflower, I can't believe how fat my face looks. I also daren't get on the scales. Caseysmummy you know you said about spider veins, I've noticed i have visible tiny purple veins that have appeared around my ankles, is this the same thing?

Elliot have you tried a very cold drink, or something sweet to get little one wriggling again?

xx

 

[Elliott]

Blueeyes - yeah I'm trying all that at the min, nothing yet but really hoping. Because I went to hospital a couple of weeks ago I don't feel as confident getting touch again il even though they said to. Going to give it about another hour or so then call. Would actually have to be the out of hours main hospital rather than the local little one.

 

[buttonbear]

Elliot try putting something freezing cold onto bump and that should gey baby moving?

 

[bigbee]

Elliott, I had the same thing on Friday. When I went to the hospital, and they hooked me up to a tracer, the baby started moving...I think it was because I was relaxed and was laying down. Can you lay down right now or are you not at home?

Also, I know what you mean about going back. But it's better safe than sorry (I'm sure nothing's wrong, but have it checked out!)

 

[Elliott]

I am at home, I'll try the cold something on stomach and see how I go. Don't want to have to go to durham but ultimately will if I don't get something definite soon.

Thank you x

Blueeyes mine are like red blood spots with tiny little veins coming off them but im sure they can be purple too. I Google imaged them as they started on my lips nose and hands but now I've got hundreds! It did worry me at first but knew it wasn't a rash as they were sporadic and not itchy or sore. Apparently they go after hormones settle after birth xxx

 

[bigbee]

Fingers crossed baba will move soon for you!

Does anyone else feel super exhausted and lightheaded? I'm having stressful-ish time at work at the moment, feel quite under pressure, so by 3pm I'm DONE!!!

 

[Nutsyputs]

Has anyone else had their blood results back showing no immunity to rubella? I know I have had MMR jab but now quite worried.

I did but was immune with me son. I spoke to my father in law who used to be a gp and he said the chance of you coming into contact with someone with German measles is really low that it shouldn't cause a problem. I've also had my Mmr. He also said it could be that I have a slight resistance but the blood test didnt pick it up.

 

[Jessiecat]

Nutsypuds that's reassuring thanks.
Elliot any updates? I hope baby is squirming away in there now!
Bigbee yes I'm bloody shattered. I'm lucky to be able to nap in the day but I'm so weak and tired all the time.

Well my mood didn't pick up all day I've gone from being really angry to tearful with a click of the fingers. Annoyed as well as went to pick up my prescription for iron as I'm anemic and I'm desperate to start on the tablets as feeling so crappy but I got stuck behind the worlds slowest driver and they shut befor I got there. Pharmacy is 15 mins away and it took me nearly 40 to get there. So I have to make the trip again tomorrow.
I'm such a whinge bag today!!

 

[Orion]

32 weeks tomorrow and baby's punches are really low down and getting uncomfortable now - is that normal?

 

[Mayflower85]

Yes Bigbee I am exhausted anyway, and the rubbish sleep last night has had me on the edge all day!

We went for a walk with friends on Sat, took me all of Sun to recover!

 

[bigbee]

Ahhhh, Jessie. That sucks. I hate mood swings!

Mayflower, the walk sounds lovely though! I did an hour of gardening yesterday; my back has been in pain ever since. Very frustrating!

Orion, I've had jabs at the top of my bump all day. I can only imagine what that is going to feel like on my ribs as the baby gets bigger. I am sure the feeling you are experiencing is normal.

 

[Elliott]

I've had tea as well now and there's some movement, which is good. I'm going to see how things are around 9 as that's normally peak time, if nothing then Ill call hospital if still getting movements I think I'll see how it goes over night but call the hospital in the morning regardless to just talk to someone about concerns. Sound fair?? I can't help but think it might just be pesky placenta getting in the way???

 

[bigbee]

If the baby is moving it's a great sign. Not to worry you, but they do say monitor change in movement, not just "no movement". So it's a wise idea to speak to someone. I panicked the other day, so I know how you feel, Elliott.

Also, the baby could've changed position, that's why you might be feeling reduced movement. Don't panic. Speak to someone in the morning if you're still concerned. That's what those people get paid for!

 

[blueeyes34]

Elliott hope all ok. Don't forget the bigger they get they less space to move so much, so movement may feel different than it was. I know where you are coming from about it being difficult to know what to expect sometimes with an anterior placenta.

Bigbee I am absolutely shattered by the end of the day at work. On Friday evening I spent 3 hours standing making pierogi and I felt worn out afterwards, worse than after a full on personal training session (prior to pregnancy. Also get out of puff going upstairs too fast.

I could just cry........sat relaxing and suddenly water pouring through the lounge ceiling all over the sofa and floor Phoned emergency plumber and he will come out as soon as he can. Only brought the house a year and a half ago and had the lounge ceiling replastered and painted in the summer and now its ruined. Not to mention I now cant have a shower Sure I wouldn't be so upset if I wasn't pregnant. OH is still looking for work and I just feel like it seems to be one big unexpected bill to another lately Sorry to moan xx

 

[Jessiecat]

Oh blueeyes how frustrating and stressful I hope it's a quick and easy fix and not as bad as it looks. could you go through insurance.

Glad you're getting some movement Elliot, as others have said movement is starting to feel different now as baby is running out of space. I don't get so many kicks now I just feel baby squirm around xx

 

[blueeyes34]

Thanks Jessiecat, still waiting for the plumber, called him an hour ago xx

 

[Elliott]

Thanks, I think it's getting a little more now hopefully that continues. What I am feeling is a lot lower. Position was head down, don't know if maybe that has changed now?!?
