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

[Jessiecat]

Hope you're all ok ladies.
I just took some paracetamol for this back pain, it's horrible. My bump is fine whilst resting but the second I get up or do anything I get quite a lot of BH. I sat on my ball earlier, big mistake! It's as if the pain in my back is spreading to my front making it go hard. My husbands quite concerned but I'm thinking if it was any kind if early labour I'd know by now? Or I'd have other symptoms?

Well I think I'm coming down with my 3rd cold this pregnancy. I'm snotty & sneezing think Henry has one on the way too as he's snotty & keeps coughing in his sleep. Just taken me 45 mins to re-settle him which is unlike him. Usually I'm back in bed after 10 mins now freckle is going mental so no hope of me getting to sleep anytime soon

On the bright side going shopping for bits for new house today

 

[bigbee]

Jessie, how you doing babe?

 

[TashaWink]

Shopping for house bits is always fun!

Ah Jessie hope you're feeling better. I have chiropractor on Monday and I cannot wait-hopefully will help!

I started moving my living room around yesterday and had to stop because I couldn't do the heavy things. so when hubby got in he was like what has happened! Haha he knows I like to changed it round every couple of months.

 

[Jessiecat]

Thanks Bigbee and tasha. No more stomach tightening a through the night but the pain in my back is still pretty strong. Paracetamol and a day in bed for me I think.if the BH start again il probably go and get checked put but will see how it goes. I just don't know what could be causing this pain, it's not the normal SPD pain.

 

[Durhamchance]

Oh dear, it seems I wasn't the only one awake in the night. Hope you're feeling better soon Jessie and Larly x
I woke up too hot again, OH was snoring, so I turned him onto his side and he just kept snoring then bump woke up and there was absolutely no chance of sleep.

Then at 6am one of my cats chose to beat me to submission so he could groom me!

It's going to be a rough day today too as its my nanas funeral. I'm just getting ready now to take the car for a valet.

Next door have started building their extension today the last stretch of my pregnancy is going to be full of headaches, early mornings, running round after an unsettled dog and just generally rubbish.

 

[buttonbear]

My little man has sore ears last night but has woken fine thankfully, I'm super tired this morning! Yaaaawn!

Hope everyone is feeling better today xx

 

[Willowburn]

Sounds like some of you are having a really rough time of it. Hope today is better for you all/goes the best it can. x

 

[Flosi]

Just come back from having whooping cough jab! And have just realised how tired I am. Really cannot bring myself to go into work, but feel I ought to.

 

[blueeyes34]

Hope everyone's ok today, and those who are feeling poorly or have aches and pains feel better soon.

I've phoned in sick today as back and hips really painful again, think it may be time to get another chiropractor appointment.

So this morning I sat on the bed and sorted through baby's clothes. We have brought literally a few items and mum has knitted some hats and cardigans, the rest are from my sister! Lots of lovely clothes

 

[blueeyes34]

Oh and 31 weeks today, can't believe it!! I now I sound like a stuck record, but ti really is flying by!!

Love this dress that was in the bag of clothes, think it will be perfect for a christening....

xx

 

[buttonbear]

Pretty dress! I cannot stop buying pretty dresses for her even though she has a tonne of clothes already!!

 

[caseysmummy11]

What a beautiful dress! We have a couple we were given but haven't bought any outfits yet, im going to wait and see what size they fit when their born and buy them a couple each to wear on occasions. My dad's birthday meal in august is one im looking forward too! Plus they'll be a few months old by then too!
Im feeling much better today still feeling tired but not falling asleep at the drop of a hat today! Slept well last night although ive woken up quite stuffy this morning. My little baby b has been very active today so far does anyone think it coukd be an effect of the steroids, the student midwife said it might help her put on more weight but im not sure how accurate that is as ive read the injections are more for their lungs and to prevent any bleeding in organs if they were born before 34 weeks.
Hope your feeling better jessiecat and hope your back pain eases off soon.

Hope all has gone well for you today Durham xxx

 

[blueeyes34]

Glad to hear you are felling a lot better Caseysmummy. We have brought literally 6 sleep suits. Been so lucky with the clothes from my sister, she said some haven't even been worn as she got them as gifts and my niece outgrew them before she had chance to wear them xx

 

[caseysmummy11]

That's really good. The only things we've bought new are the tiny baby clothes as don't know anyone that had any, my family tend to have big babies lol! My sister gota lot of her daughters clothes from selling sites on Facebook, bin bags of clothes some brand new with tags for about 20 pound, she's given me a lot of the stuff she had, it's just finding room to store the bigger sizes. Going to invest in some vacuum bags I think lol xxx

 

[Jessiecat]

Thanks everyone for well wishes today. Hope everyone else not feeling great is recovering, Durham I hope your day has gone as well as it can do.

Quick question, IF a baby was to turn head down, would it cause huge pressure on your bum? Sorry for tmi but my bump feels strange, I can't find where baby is but I feel like I'm desperate for a poo (cringe lol). I'm not constipated at the moment but nothing that I do helps this pressure and lower ack ache. It's unlikely I can carry a baby and way but transverse but I'm just researching all possibilities at the moment.

 

[caseysmummy11]

Both my babies are head down and sometimes does feel like I need the loo and get pressure in my lady area when they are moving or get a braxton hicks, I can feel baby a on my cervix at times its quite sharp lol. Where do you in baby is kicking? That's usually the way I can tell where they're lying. I usually get strong jabs at top of bump where their feet are and sometimes can feel them wriggling they're hands right at the bottom it's not quite as strong as the feet jabs but I suspect that'd because it's squished down there with their bodies lol! Xxx

 

[bigbee]

I was told yesterday that baba is head down again (bonus!). It doesn't feel like I need a poo but I have a constant feeling of needing a wee!!!! Especially if I am standing up or walking.

What a crazy week work-wise. I am wiped!!! I have a desk job so I am not knackered in a physical sense....my work is very technical, so come Friday, my brain stops functioning!!! Under a bit of pressure at the moment too which doesn't help. Mheh.

Got a wedding to go to tomorrow, so have ordered a couple of dresses from Mothercare. Going to pick them up shortly...hope they fit!!!

 

[Orion]

Every time I go for an appointment they wrote ceph in my notes, so I think that means baby is head down. I get strong kicks at the top of my bump, and less strong jabs at the bottom. I don't feel any pressure though.

Workmen have been around from 8-5 today and I feel like my head is going to explode. The constant noise is tough to live through. Who knows how many weeks this is going to go on. It's day 1 and I'm already miserable.
