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

Just a heads up the saying there's not much room so movements lesson isnt 100% correct(count the kicks is great for advice) they may change position and movements will change maybe wriggles and such but kicks and punches should get harder not less etc glad you're having movements my love.

Blueeyes oh no!!! How awful

 

[bigbee]

Blueeyes, sorry to hear that. How upsetting and frustrating!! Call the plumber again and tell him to get a move on! But don't stress. This is something that can be fixed.

Elliott, glad to hear. I first had movements lower down. Then, two days of worrying that they've changed, only to find out at the mw appointment that baby had changed position. Baba was breech and was now jabbing me at the top of my bump.

Fast forward two weeks, reduced movement again!!! MW at the hospital reckoned the baby had changed position again, so movements were back to where they few a few weeks before, i.e. at the bottom of bump.

Now I'm feeling them at the top again.

I'm struggling to keep up, to be honest.

P.s. I have an anterior placenta, so I guess a lot of movements are cushioned. I could also see that on the print out from the tracer at the hospital. Baby was moving about LOADS, and I only felt 1/3 of them

 

[bigbee]

Just got this from Mothercare. How topical....

 

[Elliott]

Thank you for your advice. Did just try to call the out of hours number, which scarily is the deliver suit number, just to say been very quiet all day, slight movement now but wanting to see what they thought., but it was engaged. The fact it's engaged just makes me think they are super busy with....delivering babies!

 

[blueeyes34]

Sorry didn't mean to be misleading about feeling less movement as baby has less space to move. I would never want to give out wrong info, it was just something the midwife said to me. She said as I am only feeling the big movements with my placenta acting as a cushion, as she gets bigger I may not feel all the movements as much as they'll be less powerful. So may only feel some of them. Definitely always get checked if less movement that what's normal for you.

Plumber has drained the tank and will be back tomorrow to hopefully fix it xx

 

[blueeyes34]

Hope you get lots of movement soon Elliott. And hope you get through on the phone soon xx

Hi, surprise baby due 3rd may. Would love to be added please xx

 

[Durhamchance]

Welcome Mrs Elton and morning ladies. Hope everyone is well and problems are sorting themselves out.

My bump decided to have a good practice session of brxton hicks last night while I was trying to serve at work! my poor boss saw me on the cameras and immediately sent a chair down to the reception counter for me lol. I'm glad there's only 5.5 weeks left for me to work now, I'm so ready!

 

[Mayflower85]

I don't think I've had any Braxton Hicks, I'd assume I'd know about if I had?!

 

[caseysmummy11]

It's just tightening of the bump mayflower, not painful but uncomfortable at times especially as baby gets bigger, my mum never had any until the last couple of weeks with me and my sisters but through both my pregnancies ive experienced them all the way through hun.

I've had an awful night sleep! Finally dropped off around midnight then woke up at 2.30 with cramp in the side of my bump and was up til almost 4 then as was worried it would happen again. Then my little boys been up since half 7, and that means so have i! I hate going to bed now as it's never restful and if I have to dash urgently to the loo I have to get my oh to push me over to the side so I can get put quickly otherwise I'm stuck! And no matter which way I lie it hurts! Very tired and fed up today.

Hope you ladies had better nights! Xxx

 

[Elliott]

Going to local hospital shortly after calling them earlier. Don't think they'll do the full trace thing there but will have a listen in. She told me to have a cold glass of water before I go, hope she realise that means I'll need to wee almost instantly!

 

[Elliott]

Has anyone else been checked twice for decreased movement? As his will be second time I've gone :s

 

[Mayflower85]

I've not been in with decreased movement, but I've been in three times with bleeding. They've put me on a trace each time just to check baby's ok.

 

[buttonbear]

So.so.so.tired!! Didnt sleep a wink was up with the worst heartburn ive felt ever!! Urg was awful still have it now!

Elliot with my son I went in about 4 times for decreased movement, each time all was okay thankfully x

 

[Willowburn]

Elliot hope everything is OK for you when you get there- I'm sure they won't mind and it always says they would much rather you went and all was fine than left it. Sure all with be fine but let us know how you get on
Button that sounds horrid- I've been starting to get a little bit and hoping it doesn't escalate too much as its v unpleasant!
Hope everyone's ok- suns shining here and I'm thinking of having a day of organisation of all things baby as I have a quiet day in the diary

 

[blueeyes34]

Hope your heartburn has eased now Buttonbear.

Elliott when I went for decreased movement, I was told they would much rather you phone and get checked out than sit there worrying, hope all is ok. Let us know how you get on.

I'm so tired today. What with us suddenly having a water feature in the lounge last night the plumber put a hose in to drain the tank, however it was still constantly dripping through the night, so every time I got up for a wee I had to change the towel under it to stop it running through the ceiling any more The plumber is coming back today to fix it, really hope he will sort the state of the ceiling out too.

Just in case you think I'm mad expecting him to do it, we only had the bathroom, immersion and pump fitted (by same plumber) 7 months ago, and spent a fair amount of money that we had saved for, having a totally new bathroom fitted, so really not happy about it. The pump on the shower went on sunday night and was making a burning smell, when he came to fix it yesterday he broke something on the immersion but said 'it will be OK i'll fix that tomorrow when I fix the pump' however a couple of hours later water started pouring through the ceiling

Sorry I'll stop moaning now, and get on with my work!

Hope everyone has a good day, I can see the sun peaking through the office blinds xx

 

[buttonbear]

Thanks ladies its easing a bit now, gosh its so horrible!

Its super sunny here today I love it, feels very spring like really want to get into the garden and start planting and such again. I'm mad i know!

Is anyone suffering mouth ulcers? I have 3 going at the mo one being on the side of my tongue, ouchy!!??

Hope you get things sorted blueeyes!

I'm back. They did put me on a trace type thing, was going to be for just 20mins. Button to press if you felt movement. Felt nothing. So ended up in it for an hour, which is what they so if nothing initially. Towards the end was starting to get odd bits of movement so finally got to press the button! Must have felt about 5-6movements at the end and you could hear movement more on the machine too. She was happy with that, said if it had remained as it was she'd have arranged for a scan. So, the plan now is I go back in tomorrow morning to do the same again. Any concerns after that and I'll be sent for a scan. Of in the meantime I'm not happy she said to contact the main hospital. Sound ok do you think? Should I have tried to push for a scan today??

They would have been monitoring baby's heartbeat as well, and the trace picks up the different accelerations and decelerations. Lots of variations show that baby is moving and responding - at least this is what I was told! If they weren't happy with that I doubt they'd have let you go. If you're at all worried between now and tomorrow morning then I'd go straight back but at least they're keeping an eye on you both.
