Hi all haven't posted in a good while..EDD 11th sep.
Baby's been engaged for the last week..hopefully he stays that way. Still getting kicked like hell. My hips are still in bits from 10 weeks and getting worse and now got pelvic pressure and braxton hicks but I still love being pregnant
Just a quick question for anyone who might know did you get any more scans after the 20week one?
The lady who done my 20 week one said no more scans now baby's healthy and growing normal. My friend keeps asking me when am I getting my next scan??...I keep telling her what doc's said but she keeps going but you need another? Can anyone shed some light?0 -

Hope all the September bumps are well!
I am barely able to function in work today with the tiredness - its overwhelming. I would give anything to be able to crawl into my lovely, cosy bed now! Have another four hours left here
I am not due until 30th September but I went two weeks early on my first and a week early on my second so hope the pattern is similar for this one. I have decided due to going early on the previous two and how hard I am finding it to stay awake in work that I will finish up at the beginning of September - so only 2 months to go in work It feels like a lifetime away but hope it will fly in.
Sleeping well at the moment, when the kids lets us. Find my appetite has really decreased over the past week or so and am madly craving ice cold milk all the time!
Baby is very active with no seemingly regular pattern so not sure if we will have a night owl on our hands like our daughter - hope not!
I see some of the ladies on the July thread have started popping out their babies! I am rather envious!0 -

Anyone know how Emmab got on yesterday? I know she was hoping to be kept in so maybe no news is good news.
Baby decided to turn, head down I think, on Thursday. On Saturday some of the kicks and punches (in all the newfound space) were painful, poor Hubby got an awful fright first time I let out a yelp
We had a family bereavement last week and I totally overdid it helping with the arrangements. Totally shattered still. Just about managing to get through the working day. Trying to maximise sleep but easier said than done, as you all know.
Third trimester now! Exciting to see some of the July mammies already meeting their little ones.0 -

Thanks Minty! With the rain last night I had a fairly disrupted night, but still feeling a bit better again today. Sorry to hear that the tiredness is starting to overtake you again. Any way you could arrange with work to only do early shifts? Could you make it a health and safety issue?
Baby has stayed turned, so no more transverse breach. Just wish we could figure out whether the upper end is the head or the butt, of course after hiccoughing it's little socks off for the last month there haven't been any since he or she turned! The kicks are all over to the left but that's no help as they would be either way since baby is lying with back to the right. Anyway, it's a relief not to feel like my stomach will tear down the middle when baby stretches
Less than 13 weeks to the EDD and I can't complete the Maternity Benefit Application because I am probably changing employers in the next few weeks. Plus we don't yet know wherre we will be giving birth! Nothing like a bit of uncertainty to keep things interesting.
Hope everyone else is keeping well!0 -

Oh Vel, that's too funny. Children are great. When my sister was pregnant with her second her (then 3 year old) eldest played at being a mommy by putting her faviourite teddy bear up her jumper, waddling around while pretending to throw up and then suddenly shouting "OUCH" and letting the "baby" fall out onto the the floor and then pretending to breastfeed. Used to have us all in stitches.
We have our names picked, for boy or girl, but like you keeping them very much to ourselves, nobody is going to argue when they're being introduced to the little person 0 -
I cannot pick a name at all hoping to find out sex first and then decide.
I have to laugh at my two year old he keeps coming up to me patting my belly and saying nice baby. I hope he thinks its still nice when it arrives. I am so wrecked the last few days. I ran out of iron tablets last week and i said i'd see how i would get on without them however think i better get meself to the chemist i'm hardly able to function today. 0 -

Hi Girlies, thanks for checking in on me I got admitted on tuesday because my little baby boy weighed 700g and they would have admitted me at 500g. The enormity of the stay has dawned on me as one of the sonographers said I could be here for 10 weeks!!!! I am the rotunda 3 days now and cant imagine another 70!!!! I cant believe I was dying to finish up work
I am in the prelabour ward and I am sure I am driving all the other expectant mammies mad with my snoring - I am going to get the nasal strips to see if that will shut me up. There seem to be two types of labour here - you are either in complete agony or youre not. There doesn't seem to be much in between.
A word to the wise. Pack a couple of extra pillows into your hospital bag. The ones supplied here are very thin.0 -

Don’t really know what to think!
Went for routine check up with GP on Friday and she said she felt I was measuring slightly small for my dates, which is a bit of a worry as although this baby wasn’t planned I am certain on my dates. Anyway, she then listened in to the baby’s heart beat and it was going like the clappers, so she sent me straight into the hospital.
I saw one of the midwives first who looked at my file, had me hold my hand out in front of me and then said that as it had a slight shake and combined with the racing heart beat and extreme tiredness I've been eperiencing that I might have a thyroid problem
Waited ages to see the doctor and when I did it was a bit of a disaster! He had an awfully abrupt manner and a very strong accent, which combined with muttering made it very hard to understand him. He felt around, measured me and told me my measurements were fine. He then called the nurse in for some reason to listen to the baby’s heart while he watched. She felt around a bit and measured me and told me that I was measuring slightly small. They had a conversation, parts of which I could not hear as I couldn’t understand him and basically it was left that I was measuring fine as per his measurements. So, great, that’s two professionals telling me I’m small and one telling me I’m fine.
When the nurse listened in the baby was moving and again the heart rate was really raised. She listened for quite some time and once the baby stopped moving it settled down to normal. The doctor then proceeded to ask ME if I wanted to be admitted!! I said that I would prefer not to be but if it was necessary, then of course I would expect to be. He said I could if I wanted to but he was happy to let me go home! I also told him that I had been struggling to catch my breath lately and was extremely tired all the time but he just looked at my chart, said my iron levels were fine when bloods were taken in March and that I would be tested again when I am back in for another appointment in 3 weeks time. He asked had I been having any bleeding or pain and I told him I had been having Braxton Hicks for the last few weeks as per my previous pregnancies and he said that its too early for me to be having them (I’m 27 weeks)
He said they will likely do a detailed scan at that appointment in relation to the measurement issue, yet earlier he told me that I was measuring fine. I was told to monitor the baby’s movements and that if they decrease I’m to come in straight away and after that I was sent on my merry way!
I left feeling more confused than when I went in and I could shoot myself for not asking more questions but I just wanted to get out of there and away from him. I don’t know if I should be worried about the baby’s heart rate or not, as surely they would have kept me in if they were concerned. I get lots of movement with this baby but now I’m a nervous wreck if I haven’t felt any for a while and I got what I thought were Braxton Hicks last night but as he is telling me its too early for them, I am wondering if I should be worried about these pains. Argh
Sorry for the essay! I’m going to ring my GP to have a chat later and see what she says but I do regret not asking more questions when I was in the hospital. My mind just seemed to go blank. I hate hospitals and doctors and have white coat syndrome and will do anything to avoid having to prolong my time with a medical professional!! My main worry is if movement is causing the heart rate to go mad now, what the hell is it going to be like when the baby is making its way out!0 -
