May 2018 Mummies....Tri 2

[holli]

Ha Claire my ass seems to have got huge too

 

[ChloeNat]

ohhhh yeah. My Behind had gotten huge. It seems to be growing alongside bump at the minute!

 

[holli]

I'm always hungry though nothing fills me

Ha Claire my ass seems to have got huge too

mine too!! I feel like it's my second bump at times! if only I could stop snacking so much.

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?!!

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!

The midwife told me during labour last time, only take it at the peak of the contractions else it wont be as effective. I was like, "You must be joking" as i sucked on it the whole time ha ha

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.

oh i am TOTALLY grateful for the gentle movement i have with this one. My little boy was so so painful even by this point . it was honestly awful i was in tears with it. It felt like he was ripping through my skin all the time. This little lady feels like gentle far inside clunks which dont disturb me at all. Placenta is posterior like last time so i have ni idea why one so painful and another not at all!

Maybe your son wants to be a footballer when he grows up liz lol

 

[holli]

[GBLiz]

Maybe your son wants to be a footballer when he grows up liz lol

That's silly as it has to build up haha. Funny how different advice is based on where you are. I'm delivering in Canada this time so we will see what happens here!

That's why I think this one is a girl as with my daughter she was very gentle and my son basically bruised my insides!

Had my appointment thru post today to see consultant- 15th Feb it says I will be there for 2 hours what on earth do they talk about?

 

[claire_louise9]

Do you know why you have to see one?

 

[holli]

Yeah my allergy to latex I had a dodgy liver and blood clots run in my family

 

[GBLiz]

oh gosh! I have a consultant appointment on 9th feb. hope i'm not there 2 hours! mine is due to being over 40, i expect when he checks my medical history it will all be quick cos i have no other risk factors. I get another scan that day too.

 

[holli]

Mine just says where to go what time my appointment is who my consultant is and that the appointment is 2 hours long

Bump pic...here is my 26-weeks-tomorrow bump!

 

[loopylucy1990]

hi lovely ladies, i feel so bad!! im buying lots 2nd hand because of cost currently but i also had a couple tiny sips of partner alchoal weekend just the one sip every now ad again, mainly when i cant be arsed to get a drink and he eating!! could cry when i think back on it!

 

[GBLiz]

oh dear lucy! Now i'm not going to encourage you but i'm sure a few sips here and there wont do any harm at all. I've had the odd sip of wine for communion. I remember in my last pregnancy in 3rd tri having a small glass of wine because it really is pretty safe to do so as a one-off by that point, but i felt so guilty after!!!
