All's good here Betsie! How are you?
My back is breaking at the mo
finding work just too hard now so I'm heading to the Doc tomorrow and going out sick for the last few weeks.. I work in retail and Yey don't have chairs for me to sit on and I'm still expected to stand all day and do deliveries (light weight stuff) with a lot of bending so I've had enough..
hey tigeress, we are keeping well here thank god, you should be taking it easy now at this stage, take a sick note x xRachineire wrote: »@Betsie- doing well, getting impatient and wishing away my time!! tired of being tired and I get jealous when I watch people walk carefree as I hobble along down the aisles in the grocery store lol! How is your LO doing? an August baby right? Sleeping good for you?
yeah rach an August baby, she was 12 weeks last friday, dont know where the time has gone, she is going down between 9 and 9.30 every night and will wake about 4ish for a bottle and back to sleep then till about 7ish so i cant complain at all
i remember that feeling all too well waddling around dunnes struggling to reach stuff on the shelves
all doc surgeries must be the same. i cant believe that woman blocking the gate adn jumping out tellling you she had high bp haha no wonder she has high bp if she is acting like that haha 0 -
Lol Rach don't get me started on them! I swear they can be so bloody rude! I hope your check up goes well! Not long left at all for you
is baby engagged yet?
I'm not entirely sure....how would they check if he is engaged, they have never done an internal on me! (at this stage in america they would have done at least one internal to see if there was any dilation.) He has been head down since 31 weeks and was down super low until this week when he popped up to hang out near my ribs, which I'm not happy about! Funny thing though- she was feeling my stomach checking the position of the baby:
Doc- hmmm what is this...can't be his head, thats way too big. Has he been head down?
Me- yes- was head down at his last scan two weeks ago
Doc- hmmm (feeling the rest of my stomach trying to figure out where his back and legs and ect are) well I guess he is still head down, you would have felt it if he turned. He just has a really big head!
me- :eek::eek:
Doc- oh haha! try not to think about that!
me- :eek:

I thought I was bad at 33 weeks not having packed anything lol! You & Moonbeam better get sorted
They use the term engaged here, it's basically when baby is pushing into the birth canal, so he'd be stuck there till its time to come out sounds like your little one is still doing acrobats though! 0 -

I did for a few weeks on my son but I was bleeding and incredibly sore.. I had to give up for different reasons but I'm hoping ill be able to go longer this time around! 0 -
Lots of Xmas babies - so lovely
After 5 weeks of horrific sickness I actually ate dinner last night and it (mostly) stayed down. I was also able to put washing away and things instead of going straight to bed after work. I feel like I've achieved something really significant, like climbing a mountain or something 0 -

Hi Ladies,
Just quick question im 22wks +1 and im getting a lot of pressure on my left side since Sunday evening its not as bad during the day as it is at night, it kept me awake all night last night, i feel i have to lie on my left side to relieve some of the pressure, its down quite low and feels different to the type of stretching/ round ligament pain i would have got in the first trimester. Im due at the GP on Friday for check up but wondering if any of you ladies have experienced this or should i go to GP sooner or is it just all part of the stretching? just to note im not looking for medical advice, just wondering is it all normal or should i go gp sooner than Friday

My other baby is in January:)
I fed both of the girls for about 3/4 months but it is not easy and #1 had to be topped up.
I had planned to feed the 1st 2 until I went back to work but these things do not go as we plan.0 -

Not sure really- I know I had a lot of pains around that time, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right but even if it didnt feel like it, a lot was the stretching. If you are really concerned it never hurts to give the midwives a ring if you can for reassurance if nothing else...lots of rest will help as well! and my GP told me that paracetemol was perfectly ok if its something you would take normally. Its better to take that than have the stress on your body of pain. And of course the standard always ask your GP! thats what they are there for! I hope you feel better soon!0 -
Elly, it's most likely stretching pains! But if you're worried just phone your GP and they'll tell you to go in if needs be
The itching on my bump is driving me mad! It usually goes like this for a few days then my bump takes another stretch! My coat no longer closes I don't wanna buy one for only a few weeks so large hoodies it is! 0 -
Thanks ladies, i think your right think its just stretching, had lots of movement yesterday, think baby is lying on my bladder as im going to loo way more than i have been and noticed if i stretch my arms up i can feel the pressure same as when i go to loo so that's obv what it is. I had a lovely hot shower last night and spent ages massaging my oil and moisturiser in to my tummy and surrounding areas it was so relaxing. I also noticed that im tender around a very small scar that i have on my left side from a laproscopy back in March might mention it to GP must be scar tissue under it. Im feeling much better about it now so will hold out going to GP until Friday.
Hope you are all feeling good 0 -

That's great that you're more relaxed Elly! The stretching pains and aches are full go from now! But ya get used to them!
With the pain in your scar, I had a section in Dec and I get awful pains in that.. Especially when my stomach is streching! Say it to the GP when your in though cause its no harm in him having a look 0 -
