Im so bored today ladies! My uni course finished yesterday ( found out today i passed with a B very happy ) so i feel at a loose end with no work to do! trying to get shifts at work but they are scarce! Feel bad for lying on the sofa doing nothing while OH works lol!

Thanks everyone, dogs are absolutely fine, you'd think nothing had happened, they'd forgotten all about it within minutes! Becky one of my dogs hates water too, but he decided to risk it in order to save the other one, was quite sweet, until he realised he couldn't swim my dogs are adorable but thick as hell.

Crackers and Ashbee, I don't envy you still with a move to do! It's a stressful thing to go through at the best of times, but approaching the third trimester? Hell! I guess it just feels like you're racing against the clock more, and then you see all these posts about super-organised ladies who have finished the nurseries and bought pretty much everything already...and you think, damn...I'm so far behind! Still got loads of time I know, I just get really stressed unless I'm organised!

Ashbee congrats on your B! Dont feel guilty about lying about on the sofa, you'll be making up for it soon enough so enjoy the downtime

Congrats on 3rd Tri Lilmiss xx

Thanks hun never thought I'd make it but miss you guys

Whats wrong Lilmisshopeful?

Oh blah. Just feeling sorry for myself. Still sick and the doc called me yesterday to tell me my iron has dropped to 8.1 despite the fact I take liquid iron. And also the protein in my blood was very low and she asked me was I eating cos it's not good for baby can stop him growing. I got to talk to my midwife about it cos if it's dropped more in 2 weeks then I'm looking at induction then so about 30 weeks. So I'm feeling awful now knowing Im not eating right and baby could not grow because of it. I am eating but when I thought about what I eat I realised I don't really eat much at all and mainly macaroni cheese. So high protein diet for 2 weeks and hope that's the reason or I will be meeting my little man a lot sooner that expected :/ xxx

Aww hun thats crap, still feeling sick at this point is a killer i really feel for you, can you tolerate apricots and have broccoli with you mac cheese as both high in iron, i have to have liquid iron as cant tolerate the normal tabs, but its not as potent as tabs so they say. Hope you can level both protein and iron out so bubs can stay in there for a bit longer than 30 weeks, we are all here if you need to vent more, plenty of rest and little meals little and often. xx

Is anyone feeling really breathless lately? Suddenly the tiredness has hit me again, similar to those first few weeks, and the littlest things are leaving me feeling breathless Even stood washing up the other day I felt out of breath and cant understand why, I mean I wasn't even moving! Ive got my next midwife apt a week tomorrow and will be due more bloods so will mention it then. My BP runs low and can make me feel dizzy at times, last time my midwife checked it it was 85/50! Im a staff nurse so can check it at work and when I checked it yesterday it was 115/60 so much better. I can't wait to leave work, 7 weeks to go and counting!
Also, now that Im past 27 weeks (going so fast!) am I now 3rd trimester?! Can't believe its the final stretch now and before we know it we'll be getting ready to give birth yikes! It still hasn't really sunk in Ive gotta do it all over again (labour!)
Hope everyone is well xx

I have exactly the same blood pressure and my symptoms are the same. I am dizzy constantly and sleeping through the day loads ; the tiredness just hits me. Midwife took my bloods last week so And I ain't heard anything so I take it my iron is ok. Think it's just another part of pregnancy but ain't enjoying. Just want to lie on couch and do nothing all the time !

 

[kanga86]

Off to bed for me. Just eaten a scrummy hot sausage roll from work and so glad to be climbing into bed. Have a good day everyone xx

 

[Vee24]

So I think it's time for breast pads lol woke up for a soaked top on one side haha! So sexy.
Hope everyone's doing well

 

[Londongirl]

Off to tri three today! See you there ladies xx

 

[Soph_UK]

Enjoy T3 londongirl and see you there soon hopefully.

Vee - time for the breast pads eh? Guess that is good news though, my nipples don't seem to be doing much yet!

 

[vicky78]

Back from hols and on 4th load of washing
My nipples seem to be like yours soph, doing nothing in prep for baby whatsoever!

 

[Vee24]

I'm sure they will lol!... Leakage isn't fun although DH found it hilarious haha

Tri 3 tomorrow

 

[Soph_UK]

vicky78 - Thank goodness I am not the only one. I am starting to think of back up options just in case!!

Vee24 - Can't believe you are leaving us too! Waaaaaaaaaa (although obviously very happy for you!)

 

[MrsHttc]

Yeah Kanga he's ok now, thanks. I've caught it off him now though, I've been up since 3am vomiting so feeling fairly awful at the minute

I'm glad you and your dogs are ok Don't Panic. That must have been terrible for you! Big hugs! Xx

Can't believe so many of you are off to tri3!!! Soooo exciting! See you there soon! Xx

 

[kanga86]

Soph and vicky I breastfed my son for 11.5 months and didn't leak once, never had to wear breastpads, so don't worry.

Sorry you caught the bug mrsH, feel better soon.

So many off to tri 3 this week, I'm still 2 weeks away. See you all over there soon xx

 

[ClimbingRose]

Hi Dont Panic, nice to see you back! Crazy dogs eh, glad they're ok.

Vee cant belive you have leaky boobs that must be so weird, I really want something to come out of mine and am constantly playing with them haha. xx

 

[kanga86]

Eurgh! In work again tonight and really don't want to go. Last night was so slow and quiet, made the night drag. Apparently have a big delivery to put out today, so hope that takes up a lot of time. Got to work on my birthday this weekend too. Really can't wait for maternity leave. xx

 

[Ashbee]

have a good night at work Kanga! i just realized we have the same due date 25 weeks tomorrow - crazy how fast its going!

 

[kanga86]

Yep same due date Ashbee, although I was 11 days late with Harry!

Feeling stressed, hubby not home, Harry in bed and I'm meant to be on my way to work! *insert lots of swear words* not happy at all! Luckily I'm only a 2 min walk away but still going to be late! xx

 

[kanga86]

Oh what a night that was at work, 2 police phonecalls, wine and beer stolen, toilet vandalised, gave my very first witness statement to the police and watched a man get wine out of a LOCKED fridge! So glad to be back home!

Happy 27 weeks to Vee, Babygirl, Gemima and Sarah, tri 3 for you today, eek!
25 weeks for me and ashbee, tri 3 is getting closer xx
