How many weeks are you tigeress? From about 30 weeks on in my pregnancy they basically told me my baby was huge! Even the day before he was born the doctor said it was a very big baby. they had me terrified! I was half expecting him to come out ready for school the way they were going on:) He was only 7lb 5oz when he was born, a tiny littLe thing! I really don't think they should comment on the size like that!!Had another scan today & baby is measuring big already
he/she wouldn't co operate so we couldn't find out the sex.. Gonna get a 3D scan done 
any suggestions as to where?0 -

Wow can't believe youre showing at 9 weeks. I'm 17 weeks this week (on first) and although I can see the bump coming, you wouldn't notice when I'm dressed. I'm desperate for it to appear!

It was like that first time round for me yellow hen - think this time it's just because Ive just finished a pregnancy 7 months ago - think the muscles are more used to bump shape than flat shape!!! This time I'd rather it stayed hidden til 16 weeks like b4. I don't have the urge to tell ppl like I did last time - I think it's cos I feel crappier than last time!
Dont worry - you soon won't be able reach your toes or get ur own shoes on....or get up off the couch even!!! Enjoy every sec - ESP before you start waddling

Wow 17 weeks already!
Rachineire how far are you? I'm just coming on 26 weeks and I'm trying so hard not to waddle! It's too early lol!0 -

Rachineire wrote: »are you talking about bloating and pressure? I found i had a lot of pms-y type symptoms throughout. I still get cramps down there from time to time as well. Its all the stretching and moving thats going on down there! I was getting panicky a lot at first as well, especially before baby moved regularly but then i decided that there was no point wasting my energy worrying. By the time I got to around the 15-16 week mark I figured if something was going to happen to the baby I was definately going to know- big painful cramps, bleeding ect. It helped me not worry as much about the small discomforts wondering what they could be. I hope this helps you out some!
Thanks Rachineire, im talking about the pain that you get when you feel your about to bleed, its not the cramps and not the pressure just a sign i generally get about 2 days before period is due, hard to describe, but like you said at this stage if anything was wrong i would know about it! I'll put it down to the stretching thanks again for your repy. 0 -
I got that sort of pain on and off, it was the ligaments stretching.Thanks Rachineire, im talking about the pain that you get when you feel your about to bleed, its not the cramps and not the pressure just a sign i generally get about 2 days before period is due, hard to describe, but like you said at this stage if anything was wrong i would know about it!

BUT don't forget if you're ever worried, go to your gp, they have dopplers and can do a quick check to see if baby is ok!0 -

Elly I've had those sound too and everything was fine, just my ligaments and body stretching.
Girls have any if you had sciatica? I'm only 17 weeks but my lower back on and off is very sensitive to movement and painful when I move the wrong way. I'm on hold now for a week which involves slot of walking any recommendations on how to ease the pain?? 0 -
I dont have sciatica but i have SPD since 17 weeks and i find heat effective i must say. You should also look into getting yourself a support belt. Theres ones for lower back ache, ones for pelvic ache, you name it. The support might help you a bit. Rest whenever you can too, feet up rest. Not just grabbing a quick sit down on the chair for five mins. 0

No my appointment is not until Oct 16th. I will only be 29weeks but i am going to bring it up. Id really like to go natural at the moment but id like to be induced a bit early maybe around the 37/38 week mark so baby isnt too big coming down. Plus my bump is neat at the mo i am being told so i dont know how i will feel when baby is 6, 7, 8 lbs - i could be begging for the section with the pressure that might cause.
At the mo i am not too bad. The mixture of physio excercises, rest, pottering around and just altering how you do thing not to aggrivate the SPD i am managing a bit more than i was a few weeks ago, so hopefully now

How are you keeping yourself?0 -
32wks and 6days! Feeling really fed up. Wish the next few weeks would go by fast! I bet I go overdue!! I'm finding it hard to walk and feel like there is so much I need or want to do but can't!
Has anyone packed for the hospital yet? I have most of the stuff but just haven't arrange the bags yet! I'm thinking of bringing a small suitcase for my hospital bag and just a small labour bag.
I can't wait until tomorrow because it's the first of Oct, doesn't seem that far away until November then 0 -

That's great that you're managing so well! I really hope they can induce you early, what hospital are you with? They can be such a pain in the hospitals with telling you things, at least I've found that! I keep asking about going in early so baby has a chance of going natural or when I'll find out if it'll be another section but all they say is wait and see Grrr! I bet they'll leave it till the day I'm due an then say it's a section today, that's pretty much what they did last time!
I'm doing good thanks feeling alot of pressure & my lower back is starting to hurt, especially after a day working! I'm really tired but sure that's the joys isn't it I'm very excited for our 3D scan next Sun though!
Sleepy Tree hope the weeks fly by for ya now! I know it seems forever away at the mo but your baby will e here before ya know it taking up all your time & forgetting what sleep once was yey for October starting! Another month down 0 -
yey for October starting! Another month down
I was thinking the same too, cant believe tomorrow is the start of Oct, my due date is the start of Jan, ah where are the months going?
Uh back aches yock. Do you find a hot water bottle or heat pack any good? Or sitting on the birthing balls is suppose to be great for posture which contributes to the back aches as your centre of gravity changes to compensate for the bump, our backs take the strain...0 -
