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

[Eryinera]

I've been getting go those same paina today snowbee I had a woman swear bid at me today I'm having a boy. I was like well the last 3 scans have failed to locate a willy..... so..... yea..... lol

 

[lisey]

My bump really is feeling big now. Some of the celebs that are pregnant at the moment look the same as my bump but they are almost due!!

 

[Leighwiltshire]

aww i love your bump Lisey!

 

[lisey]

It's big lol bit then she is bigger than average apparently xx

 

[MrsLM23]

Lisey that's a lovely bump I'm feeling like a whale lately haha. Done a comparison from a timehop photo today and I'm bigger now at 27+3 than I was at 32+4 with M lol!
I haven't thought about writing down a birth plan. To be fair it all went out the window with M and everything I didn't want to happen did so I'm definitely going with the flow this time like I did with her. Just easier and causes less stress. Hoping I can have the water birth I want as I couldn't have it last time but will see when she comes and how it goes. I did have an epidural with M and loved it lol, but I was stuck on a bed on a monitor the whole time and all I could focus on was the pain as they wouldn't let me bath/move around to try and cope. Hoping to avoid it this time as I don't think it helped when pushing but will see
Had to go in for monitoring this morning, baby hadn't been following her usual pattern since Friday so wanted to get checked. She's all good in there but they said she was really active when I was on the monitor and I didn't feel any of it so they think my anterior placenta is cushioning it which is annoying as I've been feeling her usual pattern for at least 3 weeks now. They said not to hesitate in future and if I need to keep being monitored then that's fine and better to feel reassured.
Ery that's so funny as my midwife keeps insisting baby is a boy by the heartbeat! We've had 2 scans that confirmed girl now but she's making me paranoid lol x

 

[lisey]

So glad all was OK with monitoring mrslm
I am definitely way bigger this pregnancy compared to when I had my son. Still just over 10 weeks to go, going to be massive!!! Xx

 

[nikkix86]

Lisey i reckon im about the same size as you i feel like a whale aswell im struggling at work now aswell with being on my feet all day and the spd so not sure how much longer i will last i get home and cant move!

Got midwife tomorrow so looking forward to that and then scan and consultant on Wednesday not looking forward to seeing my consultant again!

 

[lisey]

I feel massive too. I went to work today and then walked my dog, it nearly killed me. I feel so heavy and as I was walking, I could feel the swelling in my legs getting worse. I really want to work until end of March but if the leg pain gets worse I doubt will be able to.
I have midwife tomorrow too, after the gtt xx

 

[Leighwiltshire]

ive had a growth spurt so feeling very strange today, heavy and like i now have a waddle lol

hes either grown or moved as i can feel him a lot more today

 

[nikkix86]

Yeah i feel so heavy well my belly does. Will be good to see how much shes grown on wednesday i planned on working till end of march but not sure if im going to last that long at the moment

 

[lisey]

Don't push yourself. SPD sounds so painful, no point suffering more than need to. I will stay unless the swelling gets too painful, if it gets worse then I will either ask to reduce hours leading up or go on mat leave earlier. My legs are big today from swelling and not actually done much walking or standing overall xx

 

[nikkix86]

Its mainly when i work all day its bad so if i struggle ill ask to just do mornings or afternoons till i finish. My kids wont let me sit down for 5 minites either lol

 

[lisey]

Oh my son is the same. He can be quite demanding. With his disability, it is hard to explain to him that I struggle to get up and move as quickly xx

 

[nikkix86]

Yeah mine cant seem to do anything for themselves lol hoping oh will do dinner!

 

[lisey]

My son does need a lot of help, it's not that he won't do it, although there are elements of laziness at times
My OH mostly does the cooking, I hate cooking and he is really good so just works better for us, I do cook sometimes though. He is such a good cook though that my cooking is just utter rubbish compared to his lol xx

 

[Eryinera]

Yeah I'm on my feet all day too but I have a chair I've nicked for the end if the say when it gets bad. I'm feeling particularly huge at the moment lol. I got measured for a bra today as i bent over and my boobs decided to escape lol. She said I'm a 34 but she's put me in a 36 as my bump is high and this gives me growing room. So... I'm a 36d now. She said I would probably be in a 34e or 34f I was a 32 c/d before pregnancy I don't even think my milk has come in yet!

 

[nikkix86]

I was a 34b before pregnancy and im now in a 38c but even that feels too tight lol i need to go and get measured properly really

Lisey my kids are just lazy lol they have got so used to me running round after them all the time they just expect me to get them everything now!

 

[snowbee]

That is some growth Ery! My boobs are still the same as before, all my usual bras are still perfect. I do leak a bit though, I'm already on the pads.

I do all the cooking, my oh can cook but it is quicker and easier for me to cook than it is to clean up his mess! He is totally oblivious to mess. Also he comes home from work so late I would have eaten my own arm by the time he made something!

 

[Eryinera]

Hehe I'm like your oh snowbee I think that's why my oh cooks the lions share lol

 

[Eryinera]

Oh can't believe his luck with my boobs right now neither of us imagined they would get this big lol when we met I was a 30b I had bee stings lol
