hi guys! ordered my first "BIG" baby thing today - the pram! whoop feel delighted
have a few baby vests but was also wondering what to bring.. but there is enough time to think about it, I guess (week 28 now)
My back starts to hurt. I sit at a desk 8 hours a day, and try already to stand and walk much, but as soon as I sit, it starts in the upper back. feels like the muscles are tired. does anyone feel the same or has an idea what to do?
I just went for a bath and got to know that its good to use a belt around the tummy to lift the weight a little. .
how are you all?0 -

Well 28 weeks today
Hoping it speeds up now! But I'm sure the run up to Christmas will keep us all busy and make it faster for us!!
I'm feeling good really at the mo, had a lovely relaxing weekend and cos I did so much sitting around I felt tonnes of movement which was great!!
Doing loads of work on our house over the next 4 weeks so it's a bit stressful but hopefully it won't get too dusty and will all be done by Christmas! It's better to have it all done now anyway tho so I'll have a nice home to bring the baba home to!
I'm really starting to get excited about spending those first few precious months at home with my little girl! Can't wait to get to know her and to care for her... And of course to dress her!!!! 0 -

also im building a house at the moment so i know about the stress!! duno when we will be moving in, prob march or april maybe. so our little one will be spending his/her first few months in our mobile so we will be nice and close at all times!! cant wait! 0 -
Into week 33 on Thursday, not prepared for this at all:eek:. Have got absolutely nothing, had a very quick look at travel systems at the weekend, but saw nothing I like. Think I'm a bit " la, la, la, this isn't really happening!" Obviously I'm thrilled to bits, but can't decide if it's because I've done this twice already, albeit some time ago. Or it's because I'm scared as hell that I won't remember what to do. It's almost like a kind of denial:o
Was in bits with sciatica most days, a few weeks back. Have physio now on Friday, and it's kinda eased off now at this stage:rolleyes:. Still wake in the night most nights with rotten pains in my hips and thighs, so am sure physio will be of help. Just can't understand how I piled on weight all over the last 2 times, and had no back problems. This time I'm the same as I always am, just with a beach ball for a belly, and I've been in bits
Can't wait to see what we have this time. I really have no feeling as to whether it's a boy or a girl...0 -

Congrats on your pregnancy Aoibhinn!
I have to say I haven't had much in the way of upsetting comments at all, people who I haven't seen in a while will say something like 'oh, you've got big' or something like that and I do get the odd query about what we're having (apart from family we haven't told anyone what we're expecting). But nothing nasty. That colleague of yours sounds like a not very nice person, all you can do is ignore comments like that and try not to let it get to you (difficult though it may be). Maybe go home and create a voo-doo doll and stick pins in it, might make you feel better!
I've got 3 weeks left from today, 1 week left at work now, can't wait to get finished up.0 -

Hi Dublinlady!
I've been a lurker on this thread but thought it deserved a post to say you are not alone ... I'm due 22 Feb!
I've been getting on grand, it's my first so I need the next 11 weeks to get organised (but I don't want to go over either). Due date would be perfect! Though I have it in my head baby might arrive on the 29th. How would that work for birthdays 0 -

Oh yeah bauble1!!!! That's fantastic! Was feeling mighty lonely there for a bit thinking everyone on this thread would have month old babies and I'd be sitting here typing to myself... Hahaha!!!!
I've been thinking the 29th would be great!!!! One birthday every 4 yrs.... A but harsh tho!!
I'm a bit of an organiser and may have peaked too early with my getting ready... Have nothing to do now for the next 11 weeks except wait - I'm like a kid at Christmas - the more I feel her moving around and feeling like a real baby the more I just can't wait to hold her!! Obviously I'd rather she stayed in there until she's completely ready but selfishly I'm dying for the cuddles!! can't wait to see who she looks like, know what weight she'll be, see her temperament etc - basically I'm dying to get to know this little miracle I've been growing for over 7 months!
Anyway - rant over! Welcome to the thread and thanks for making yourself known!! Hehe now I do feel better... A whole 2 days ahead of someone!! Hehe - I bet you'll go first!! That or we both go on the 29th!!! 0 -

same here. . due on 21st of february.. wow we are close dublinlady
I think the time will fly since its christmas soon.. then new years and then only about a month left at work... and after week 38 (37+) anything can happen, since the baby is then considered full-term
My rips are still killing me sitting down at a desk every day. not even possible anymore. just standing and sitting on my knees
will have my checkup this thursday, will see what they say.
Have a super nice Christmas girls!!! and enjoy the time, last time "alone" (for first time moms)0 -

IvyTheTerrible at 19th,
DublinLady at 20th,
me at 21st and
bauble1 at 22nd of February weeaahhyy.. hehe
I think my bump is pretty big but the rest is almost like always. they all say I am so tidy and neat. I met a girl week 30 as well her bump was not near mine but still same tiny girl. weird.. and they say, you sure you don't get twins? :P
IvyTheTerrible you only gained 3KG? that sounds really like nothing!? the baby should already be around 1.2KGs ? :-O
I put on about 7KG now. but actually all bump.. funny how different everyone is! but also good so! As long as everyone is healthy ALL is good 0 -

Yeah I know I found it hard to believe! I think it's cos I actually lost a fair bit of weight in the first trimester because of the morning sickness. So I was 64kg at the start of pregnancy, went down, and now am up at 67kg. So maybe I put on more than 3kgs in the last 3 months.....
The baby weighs 1.4 kg (apparently is is exactly average for the stage). I was always fat in the legs but with a very flat tummy so I think the baby is absorbing some of my leg fat! My bump is quite hard, there is NO fat on it at all! I just don't put fat on my tummy, all goes to the thighs!0 -

ya i know that.. hehe.. i lost 2kg as well in the first 3 month but then gained 8-9 on top of it. so I count from my normal weight before pregnancy till now.
but tummy is pretty hard too as in no fat between me and baby
i feel and see every movement and love it. if ur "normal" its good to gain between 10 and 12 kg in the 9 month. I think I will exactly come up to that. 10-12kg.
but most important is, that the baby gets what it needs and u too!
I got baby checked week 27 and it was average as well at that time, so I assume its around same as urs now.
ahh its all so exciting now.. in only a few weeks is christmas and only one more month at work then at the weekend I'm gonna start pack the hospital bag. they all say I should do it now..

Hi Amelie,
I'm due 20 jan and haven't been comfortable sitting on a chair for weeks. I'm new to this posting thing but its something to do while I'm not sleeping and maybe the following might be useful to you
My rips are still killing me sitting down at a desk every day. not even possible anymore. just standing and sitting on my knees
I've replace my office chair with an excercise ball and it's a salvation! I get very funny looks but it's worth it.
I got my ball for €20 in elvery sports and then got a second for home. They were great for exercise and one will def be used during labour but at the minute it's just great to be able to sit at the desk without being crippled.0 -

Your due the same day as me!!!
Finding the couch uncomfortable now in the evenings. Have to kinda sit up with loads of cushions which makes it impossible to put my feet up! Can't win really! Starting to toss and turn a lot at night now! Also starting to get some very mild period style cramps - they either stretching or Braxton hicks - I can't tell! They only last for a few mins and only come maybe twice a day so I'd say Braxton hicks!
Having private scan today so really looking forward to seeing my little girl!
At least we into the last ten weeks now - hopefully it will start to speed up!!
Anyway welcome to the thread - its so great to see how other ppl are doing who are the same stage! 0 -

hi Ladies,
Welcome to the newbies
We had a scan yesterday and baby seems to be doing well, kicking the daylights out of me!
We have 3 weeks and 5 days to EDD January 10th Wooohooooooo!!!!!!!!! But whos counting......:o
Sleeping isnt really an option at the moment, lying down is quite uncomfortable and sitting on the couch is not an option, Iv taken over the armchair which is much more up right
Im smothered in a cold and cough too which is a pain, Im convinced Im going to cough the baby out!!!:eek::eek::eek:
I have to hold my bump everytime a coughing fit strikes!
Other than that Im loving christmas build up
Hope you are all keeping well

oohhh wow most of ye are due so soon ( january) while dublin Lady and me have 10 more weeks till EDD !!!
To get a ball into work is not an option, because of safety reasons. (american company)
But I bought one for myself : )
Unfortunately it seems like it doesn't matter how or where I sit, it's just sitting in general, which is barely poss.
Its right under my ribs (front left) and also between my ribs (back left)
It's like my ribs get squeezed in a sitting position.. we will see, I have requested a half day work instead of full day, but it might not even be an option which means I will then have to get out on a sick leave. it feels really bad, but it's just not possible anymore.
have been trying to stand all day long, but I am sure ye can imagine with extra weight how it feels to stand for about 8 hours !
aahhh I am soo excited for the ones having only a few weeks left !!!
@73Cat may I ask why you will have a c section?0 -

@73Cat may I ask why you will have a c section?
Of course you can:). I have to have c section, as I have had 2 previously. The first as baby was breech, the second as was safer for baby no2, as she was born needing immediate surgery. Was told labour would have put too much strain on her. I was given a vertical incision the first time, which was reopened the second time. So no hope of doing it myself this time, as risk of rupturing my womb:eek:. Have been told this time that they will not reopen the old scar, as I will be at risk of a hernia or damage to my bowels. So am going to be cut across the way giving me 2 scars, yay! There goes my bikini modelling career plans:p!!0 -

omg we are all getting closer 1. of all: HAPPY CHRISTMAS! I hope ye all had great days!
ya, getting comfortable isn't as easy anymore. . get a nice sleep neither.. it's kinda funny how you wake up just to turn!! haha
I was told too, to pack the hospital bag. Since one I know had a baby eek 32 and someone else actually never really packed the bags (had the baby 10 days early) but then the husband had to get the right things.. and imagine that! it just can't work !! haha
I wish you all a NICE NEW YEAR now and then the time will *hopefully* fly 0 -

I know what you mean - its getting very difficult to get comfy in bed now - no matter what way i lie I seem to get a pain somewhere!!
32 weeks down... 8 to go - will try get the hosp bag packed this week! Feel huge nOw - cant believe I've so long to go - walking and standing are often difficult depending on what way the baby is sitting! I feel bad for complaining as I don't really care - so happy to be pregnant and so so happy all seems to be well with my little girl can't wait to meet her and am going to try to enjoy the next 7-8 weeks!!
So exciting!!! 0 -

hey guys! i know EXACTLY how yas feel. im in serious countdown now as i am over 37 weeks now!! cant believe how fast time has flown. really feeling heavily pregnant now. my husband has to turn me in bed sometimes cos i just feel so heavy.(and cant turn myself:rolleyes:) also sleep the last week is not great. keep wakening up with lower abdominal pain. it goes then in the mornin when i get up. its obviously the way baby is lying and my body preparing hopefully!!
during the night is def a low point but then in the mornin im grand and excited and cant wait. i find im already looking for signs of labour!! gettin up from the seat and sitting down are an effort. i love it tho and im not really complaining cos ive been lucky enough symptoms wise and baby seems to be fine so please God we wil both come out fine from labour. i find i tend to worry a little bout baby bein ok. its madness. cant wait to meet this little one putting my belly all out of shape. it wants to come out through my sides!! :rolleyes::D i know we are always thinking our babies are coming but sometimes the thought REALLY comes and i get so excited.:D
hope ye all had a great christmas and have a happy new year!:D0 -
God I can't imagine 37 weeks... That's another 5 weeks growth!!! I can't imagine how heavy and uncomfortable you must feel!!! I know what ya mean tho - on one side it's hard and ya just want to moan about the pain of it all but on the other - the bigger side - you still can't believe how lucky you are to be pregnant!! And how amazing it is to feel the crazy kicks and wiggles!!! Try not to worry about labour - its one day after so long waiting - and as I keep telling myself - who is to say it won't be easy and straight forward for me!! You and your baby will be perfect - so exciting!! 0

Yes it's great that we al pretty much feel the same at least someone understands haha!! ya, turning in bed is almost funny! and I will still get bigger OMG had to laugh about your husband helps you to turn
wow 37 weeks. are you in week 37 or 37 weeks gone? Cos when you are in week 38 (37+) your baby is full term !!! so I would definitively feel the same and always look for signs.. that's me and dublinlady in only 5 weeks!!!
Ya somehow everything is hard. sitting (for me) is sore in my ribs, getting up from a sofa is not easy! so best are the "gym balls" and sitting on the front of a chair (like a kid) hahato get up on ur own.
And standing too long is just getting heavy too. Walking does sometimes slow me down, when the baby decides to lay on my bladder, which can be painful. as soon as its moved away I can walk on in normal speed again. :roll eyes:
I've got a different question for ye all tho. Have ye decided what nappies ye will go for? Pampers I'd say is just most "popular" but a friend of mine, does not use them because she says they smell chemical.
and I don't mind the brand, but would like something good.
sometimes I feel too, like I would only complain. but the whole pregnancy is just sooo exciting and looking back, I can't really complain at all 0 -

im in week 38 so technically i am full term and just waiting!!! not very patiently! i find if baby doesnt move when i want it to i start to worry. then an hour later it can be wriggling mad. just really cant wait to meet him/her.
on the walking sometimes i can be flying along at my normal/fast pace then after a few mins ill be outof breath and wondering to myself why am i walking so fast!! its mad. a 5 min walk had me wrecked today. i also may have a bit of a waddle sometimes.:rolleyes:
as for nappies. well we have bought pampers to start off with and we will see how we go then.0 -

I think I will do the same. Start of with pampers and then I just read, that many like the Lidl ones.. Maybe a good Idea.
Red_Fr. I zoo can imagine how impatient you are!! I hope for you its rather soon than over- due !!! aahh am excited with ya. tell us how you get on and if u've got any signs
When my baby is "quiet" I just have to stroke my tummy and say: hello baby.. and it will "wake up" or move instantly.. but mostly I try not to "wake it" since its almost 90% awake (feels like it) hehe
good luck and all the best, keep us updated tho 0 -
