***September 2016 Mummies - the last lap***

[MrsB2105]

Oh no, hopefully fingers crossed they have found it quick enough for a speedy recovery. I hope your husband is coping ok

Whatever Thomas was doing before .... He hasn't turned - I still have 2 heads up high lol
I'm hoping they don't make an attempt for an early exit as I haven't mentally prepared for an emergency section ... Not that I would complain at having my body back sooner x

 

[SiameseCatLady]

Oh gosh, that's not nice, Naomi. Hope she is ok...
Can't believe people have dates! That's crazy! It's so close...
I have been told I have thrush. After three lots of antibiotics, I am not surprised, but worrying symptoms in that I seem to be getting a little tiny amount of orangey pinky blood when I wipe. Not mucussy (sorry tmi) but almost sort of dry spots.
Going to call doctors when they open and rang labour ward last night who didn't seem too concerned, but still worrying myself silly. Baby moving ok all yesterday and kicking me this morning... Anybody had any experience? Can thrush cause tiny flecks of spotting?
Said to my husband yesterday that I had a feeling we would meet out baby in the next couple of weeks. Don't know why but just had this sort of overwhelming feeling that came over me and I feel sure I will be meeting BB VERY soon.
Also spent all yesterday in hospital as heart rate was 140 and they thought I had a pulmonary embolism. I don't thank goodness, but had to have an X-ray and ct scan which was worried about too! Grrr. Want to be normal, but it isn't working out!

When I've had thrush in the past I've had specks of blood, but being pregnant I would still question it
Did they cover you in lead gowns for your X-ray and ct?
I also want to be normal, I keep being sick every morning so I'm thinking of buying a v pillow to prop myself up when sleeping to see if it helps ... Any other suggestions I will willingly try x

Oh Naomi that's terrible news for you both. Breast cancer is very treatable nowadays and doesn't always mean the worst, fingers crossed for a relatively smooth treatment journey and speedy remission xx

MrsB I've been sleeping sitting up for weeks now! It's just too sore to lie down on my sides.

SCL thrush can cause a bit of spotting due to the irritation.

We had a huge electrical storm here overnight, we ended up opening the curtains and just lay in bed watching it, it was quite spectacular!

 

[MrsB2105]

Karen maybe that's why I haven't slept for a while, I can't use pregnancy pillows anymore, as my bump is too big to rest on one I just end up rolling backwards lol x

 

[SiameseCatLady]

Yes - getting it checked out. Hoping to be called back soon. Going to keep an eye. Really tiny amounts so hope it is normal...
They put lead on for X-ray not scan. They said ct scan won't affect baby, but not sure I would have chosen to do it if the implications hadn't been so serious.

I'm using my pregnancy pillow to tuck under my legs to stop me sliding down the bed but finding it much more comfortable sleeping propped up xx

To be fair I walked in to a ct scan when I was pregnant with my son as I had baby brain and just walked in lol and he's fine ... Fingers crossed the tiny spots are thrush related, keep us posted with what the dr says x

Ooh good idea x

 

[SiameseCatLady]

Thanks ladies.
Have a uti as well so waiting for that to be sent off and the swab...
Fx all is fine otherwise my predictions may be correct!
Mrs B. I use a huge v pregnancy pillow which bugs DH but is so worth it - from Amazon. I have also started to use another normal pillow as well on top of the preg. pillow on the side my bump is on. Seems to give me the extra support I need, but again, haven't got twins bump! Have noticed I am only waking up two or three times a night since used pillow. Xxx

 

[SiameseCatLady]

Sorry, didn't read that you couldn't use preg pillow. Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

When I was pregnant with my son I had a 10ft u shaped pregnancy pillow and my husband hated it as it only left him about 40cm worth of bed but it was heaven for me .
My mum is picking me a pillow up later, my plan is to prop myself up comfortably so I am almost sat up when sleeping. I still wake up a few times in the night for a pee or because I'm in pain or uncomfortable. On the bright side I can be on countdown to the day these struggles are over and the only thing that gets me up in the night is the joy of a night feed or 2 x

 

[SiameseCatLady]

Mums are saviours aren't they? My mum spent all day in hospital with me yesterday and is coming around later to help me with hoovering and washing.
I am now feeling miserable and sorry for myself mdespite everything being fine really. I just went to pick up some baby grows to cheer myself up. From going with the whole, I won't take any medication during my pregnancy, I have not been able to stick to it and just feel quite depressed. I am so lucky to have this baby growing inside me, but I just wish it could go smoothly now. Xx

Mums are life savers yes, mine keeps coming and doing bits of tidying, I'm in no state to do it and my husband is out of the house for 10-12 hours a day and then decorating, so she keeps helping with odd bits

I also keep having meltdowns and feel like a complete failure because I can't play silly games with my son, I can barely move around, it's my husbands birthday today and all he asked to do was go to see the new start trek film, but I'm not able to sit in a chair that long. I would also like a smooth ride but this countdown is going to get me through the next few weeks hopefully x

 

[MrsB2105]

Sat in bed thinking oh my god I'm in pain and my back and tummy are really uncomfortable. So I lay back to see if it eased and my right side of bump was about 6cm higher than the left ... No wonder it was hurting lol x

 

[mummy2b1985]

Wow it's hard enough to get comfy with one baby in there can't imagine what it must be like with two!! I think you're doing amazingly well and looking after your little one too. I'm trying to cherish the last few weeks with my little boy before he becomes a big brother.

 

[Lander]

Gutted. Cot bed and dresser delivery delayed. Mothercare haven't yet got it out to the courier depot.

Getting my hair done tomorrow before my babyshower on Saturday.

Washed all his cot sheets today. And some more charity shop bargins including several items still with original tags. Very nice bits too and a Blooming Marvellous dress for me that will be easy access for breast feeding too, so not a wasted day.

To be honest I now struggle with my little boy, so I tend to recruit help on the days that I'm on my own with him

The end is near now so I will be able to play with him again soon and I can't wait x

 

[MrsB2105]

I can't believe your furniture isn't here yet x

I really didn't want a baby shower but guess what happened on saturday night a surprise baby shower my sister and my 2 nieces came over from England specially for it, was lovely but got way too many gifts the perks off having 6 sisters I guess, I hate being center of attention had to sit there and open it all sooooo embarrassing lol but my wee man was spoilt rotten and I also got a £50 voucher towards a christening outfit for me when the time comes. Can you spy the Doritos lol running joke about the advert...
