Happy V day taffyrose

This cold still isn't shifting. I've been up most of the night coughing
I have my 25 mw appointment tomorrow, hopefully I will be well enough to go, I really want my mat b 1 so I can get the ball rolling on my maternity leave.

Ahh Taffy I'm off to Peppa Pig World on Sunday! Bit nervous as in the middle of potty training my son! My latest pregnancy problem is that I can't stop buying maternity clothes!!! What's wrong with me?! I won't fit them soon!! And now Miothercare sale preview is calling me! Sorted all my baby clothes from my son and just need to get a few bits for when she's small and new weaning stuff etc but bet I buy loads of things I don't need! Get ready MasterCard...

Happy V day Taffy Rose!

I feel for everyone with back pain. I was off work for a few days with it but then I got Nexcare Maternity support from Mothercare and it's really helped. It's not cheap but it has definitely made life more bearable and as I only get paid when I go in to work then financially it's worth it for me.

Might be worth a try for those still suffering.

Happy V day Taffy!! And to me too!!

Soooo happy to reach my V day! Got my 25 week midwife appointment on Monday, hubby is off this week decorating the little lady's room, feels like full steam ahead!!!

Hope everyone is doing well and those suffering don't suffer for too long!

Xx

Ah happy V day to you too Gemmy

My next midwife app isn't until 28 weeks xxx

Happy v day gemmy and taffy. I hope max had a wonderful time at peppa pigs world. We took dd last autumn it was brilliant fun. I have to wait till 28weeks for midwife too. It seems like a long gap but I suppose it is good being considered low risk.

Happy V day Gemmy and Taffy

That's me off to Tri 3 tomorrow at 27 weeks!!! Yikes! Time is flying and I'm
Totally unprepared for this little bundle arriving.
I think baby is on a growth spurt as I feel like everything is just stretching and aching. ouch!

How is everyone eating these days? By that I mean are you trying to eat more good stuff than bad, do you eat just whatever you fancy?
I only ask as the past few weeks all I've wanted to eat is chocolate, crisps and sweets! I eat normal meals of course but in between I can't help myself! Ha

I usually eat quite healthy. However i have been cracking coke, cakes and biscuits. The ive been giving in and having them, but i will also eat a salad ans fruit to balance it all out.

Happy v-day taffy and gemmy. That's another milestone done.
Can't believe it's my last week here in tri2. Time is just flying by.

Read a lot are having trouble with backpain, I join the club too. I partially wake up at night from the pain.
Spoke to mw about it last week and she said I have been referred to physio already but it still could be a few weeks till I hear ftom then. I hope it's not gonna be too long as I feel like an old woman most days. Walk for a short moment and have to stop because the pain gets unbearable. ..

Claire, I hope your cold will be gone very soon again. Can't imagine anything worse at the moment.

Hope otherwise everyone is keeping well.

I still havnt really gone baby shopping yet. Knowing me, I will get everything just before joey is born haha. Talk about being last minute.

 

[Shootingstar11]

The back pain is awful.

Do you guya find that if you are woken up in the night that its really hard to go back to sleep as you have noticed that your back hurts?

I usually am fine when im sitting up ans moving about, but lying down causes a problem after awhile. But then again standing around for awhile will cause back pain too!

im also having sugar cravings now, still having my fruit ect but sugary drinks and chocolate are getting the better of me.

 

[Vickyxx]

I'm another one suffering with back ache but mine is worse in the day think baby is in an awkward position. Also getting horrid leg cramps at night urghhhhh hate it

 

[CoachQueenie]

I got a call this morning from the Physio department in the hospital as they had a cancellation for this morning but I had to turn it down so disappointed but there is no way I could have made it! She said I will still be on the list if another cancellation comes up but I'm not holding out much hope for it happening any time soon!

 

[vampysgirl]

Coach that's annoying. A bit last minute too. Keeping my fingers crossed you get another call.

I have trouble going back to sleep to. Most the time I end up going in the sitting room so I don't wake OH . He noticed though that I moan a lot when I sleep and move around a lot more then usual. No wonder I am feeling so tired most mornings now. I thought you have all your energy back in tri2 lol I swear I didnt have that with my first son lol

 

[katiee24]

Hope all you ladies are doing well! Havent been on here much as my nan has been in hospital and im feeling worn out as our household as had a virus- will have to have a catch up!

On a brighter note we managed to pay all our pram off and will hopefully be receiving it in 14 days! & i ordered my pre packed hospital bag and received it this morning! Only got to add little bits like clothes for me and baby and think ill still have some room left in the bag! Cant complain for £23 and quick delivery! One less stress to worry about

 

[sallyb23]

I've just had a call about wooping cough jab. Does anyone know if this would be covered the same as a midwife appointment at work so time is paid? Has anyone else had this jab yet

 

[Naomi1990]

I was told to book in for whooping cough injection at 28 weeks so the nurse is doing it straight after my 28 midwife appointment. It's part of pregnancy medical care though so would assume you could have paid time off for it xx

I have to go to docs for the jab and the midwife appointment is somewhere else so will see if I can go from one to another. Thank you.

 

[mrswoody]

I'm getting my whooping cough jab done in the next few weeks separate from my midwife appointment.

I'm officially in tri 3 now ladies! Yikes!!! I better get myself sorted out for impending baby! Lol
