May 2018 Mummies....Tri 2

[ChloeNat]

Any ideas on how to get Willow to move? She keeps laying in horrible positions that's putting a lot of pressure on either of my sides she was stuck in the same position most of night and kept me awake as I couldn't lay on either side with out it hurting so had to try and sleep sat up I've tried moving about rubbing my tummy eating and drinking a cold drink but she was clearly comfy so didn't move. Certain parts of the night I found it hard to breath she's moved now as it doesn't hurt as much xx

try rocking back and forth on all fours next time she's in an awkward position x

chloe i only had gas and air my last 2. To be honest i'm not sure if it even does anything!! But when i look at side effects of other pain relief methods it puts me off. Like the stronger painkillers have an effect on the baby, or mean you forget the birth itself. and epidural has its own risks plus more likely to need forceps and stuff when you cant feel anything. there's no good option really is there?!!

I bought at tens machine when I was pregnant before but never got to use it . I think it's still in my glove box lol

 

[holli]

Thanks chloe will give that a bash

They aren't that big then Claire if it's in your glove box? I was thinking it was this huge machine thing ha

 

[claire_louise9]

That's why I stick to the gas and air. I think it did help but you need to be taking it quite a bit for it to build up enough. It's not enough to only take during contractions. I was told if I only started taking it at the start of contractions then it would do nothing. I'm doing a home birth this time so only really have gas and air as an option anyway!

Also! put something cold where she is, like a bag of frozen peas. Used to get mine to budge lol

Haha I will try that first as I'm not sure id get back up again from all fours especially if spd is playing up, if she's anything like me she will be a stubborn sod and stay there just to annoy me haha at moment she's in a different spot that's fine and she's currently kicking away but she usually does when it's getting to this time as I have my meal soon

Mine is going nuts at the minute too lol. Scary how big their movements are already but I only know from experience they get worse lol. My son used to really hurt me as he got bigger. I'm enjoying the gentle movements for now before I have to physically hold in feet and head/bum.

Awww I can't wait for that ny tummy is like a Mexican wave all time with her kicks and movements but it's like she knows cos when I get my phone out to film it she stops and then when I put it down she starts again little madam I tell ya I had my 25 week midwife app yesterday and when midwife was listening to her heartbeat she kept having to chase her round my tummy as she kept fidgeting lol, I'm seeing midwife again in 3 weeks time

 

[claire_louise9]

I wish I could feel mine going nuts

 

[holli]

I'm hoping you feel something more soon Claire are you getting much bigger cos not seen a baby bump in ages? Xx

 

[claire_louise9]

I've been rubbish at remembering to take any bump pictures this time oops

I must have a big one as there's no trouble finding where they are with the doppler and even feeling where they are at any point in time lol. I've got a video already but I think my tummy muscles are screwed from my last two. I couldn't film them as easily as I can this one lol. I'm having the glucose test to check for gestational diabetes in a months time as my son was so big they want to make sure it wasn't because I had undiagnosed diabetes.

we heard the heartbeat fine but could hear it going quieter when she moved so she chased her round to get a good sound, I bet you have a lovely bump cos you started showing early didn't you?

This was yesterday at 24 weeks. I am going to be huge.

 

[ChloeNat]

I wish I could feel mine going nuts

I'm surprised it took so long to feel regular movements with this one as it's my third and I didn't get anything regular till 20 weeks. Do you have an anterior placenta? I do and that's what caused me to not feel much.

Yes I have a anterior placenta, I would have prefered to have that with my first and not second then I wouldn't have known any difference. X
Your bump is great I have seemed to have grown and even bigger ass lol
