May mummies and rainbows to be :) the wait is nearly over!

[snowbee]

If I lay on my back with my belly out I like watching it randomly move about and change shape!

I can still shave my legs fine, I trim my bits and have always done it by feel anyway so hasn't made any difference yet lol!

 

[Leighwiltshire]

i love lying down, its when i feel him most and i can see his kicks, you can tell where he is sitting on a morning too depending on how ive slept.

shaving is a chore when your tall, im using this excuse to my advantage haha x

Back from our growth scan.

She is a little bit smaller than average but within normal limits for gestation. She's apparently got long legs and estimated weight is 2lb8oz. She's breech today whereas she was head down yesterday so she's obviously had a good wiggle on! Mind you I was up to pee three times last night and felt her each time so makes sense I guess.

Sonographer said I may be referred for more growth scans but as long as her growth is steady then they aren't concerned with overall size.

Glad it went ok emily maybe shes just a small baby

 

[Emily0505]

Yep. I'm not worried if she's just going to be a small baby just as long as she's healthy

That's good that she is measuring within normal ranges. When they told me mine was a little bigger than average I was scared but again, within normal range. Was Cam small? You might just have smaller baby's. My family seem to have biggish baby's so not a shock for me xx

 

[Emily0505]

He was 7lb4oz at 10 days overdue so not particularly big.

As long as she's healthy and happy then I'm happy!

Glad she's alright!

I was lying next to my boyfriend earlier and he could feel the baby kicking on his belly. I think he's getting used to the kicking now. It used to freak him out.

 

[nikkix86]

I cuddle up to my boyfriend from behind at night its the only way i can get comfy and baby always kicks him in the back lol hes always like baby is awake again then!

 

[nikkix86]

Cant believe some of you are nearly 30 weeks! This pregnancy seems to have flown by!

 

[Dovekie]

They do kick a lot when you're lying down. I could feel a weird light buzzing right down in my groin before, only when i crossed my legs.

It is going so fast. I'm still just 26 weeks though. I wonder who will give birth first and whether we'll all remain May mummies??

 

[Eryinera]

My oh is my lady gardener has been for years. Lol. So that's not an issue for me. Lol

Glad she's measuring well Emily.

I think lou will be having her daughter early I hope ours stays in there until at least her due date as I'm in work 2 days before she's due lol.

I'm still really torn between names lol. I think we just have to wait until she's here and decide then lol.

Wonder if there are any positions that make it more likely she'll turn I really wouldn't like to give birth to a breech baby lol just wondering if anything would encourage the turning process lol. Sometimes it half feels like she trying to leave via my belly button lol

 

[Emily0505]

My lo was breech at her scan yesterday but head down the day before so she's obviously got loads of room still to wiggle about in there!

I think I'll get a birthing ball this time as that's supposed to help get them in a good position etc although I don't know if it would encourage them to turn or not?

She's having a good wiggle in there at the moment so goodness knows what position she'll be in now! Lol!

[Eryinera]

Lol I've heard the balls are good for turning too. As soon as my front room is finished.... decorator is starting next thurs I'm going to set up my ball. Lol

 

[Emily0505]

I think I'll need one to sit on so I can actually breathe soon anyway!! Lol!! We have recliners but I'm finding more and more of an evening that unless I'm upright I'm pretty breathless.

We got a gliding nursing chair yesterday (with footstool) Oh my god it's soooooo comfy!! I could literally sit there and rock all day!!

[nikkix86]

I want to get a ball i dont know when to start using it tho lol

 

[Emily0505]

No, I've no idea when you should start either to be fair! Lol!

XX

 

[lisey]

My cousin gave me a ball. I don't know when you use either. Don't feel I need it yet though.
Emily, I struggle with breathing too at times, it's horrible xx

 

[Emily0505]

I'm getting it most days now tbh. It's not anaemia so I think it's just where my insides get all squashed up when I'm not sitting upright. Makes me feel really weak sometimes though, not nice!

[missyeovil]

I get a lot of breathlessness to Emily. Am also really tendee to touch where baby likes to have its bum!!

Ery there is a website called spinning babies which has positions for turning babies. I think in general pelvic tilts are good for positioning and can be done on a ball quite easily, also sitting back to front straddling a dining chair and crawling around on all fours? X
