I was examining myself in the mirror today. I am ginormous!
can't wait to have a coat that actually zips up on me again.
Can't wait to meet baby.
Can't wait to be able pick something off the ground without sounding like a 90year old.
Can't wait until I can walk more than 10 minutes without Getting tired!
Can't wait to sit,stand ,lie comfortably
Just fed up and January seems like ages away!

bobskii

Lashes28

Ah the three point turn to get for one shoulder to the other. Can't wait to sleep on my tummy!

bobskii

lol only to realise you were more comfortable on the other side anyway!!

Hello- haven't been on in awhile. finally full term at 38.5 weeks!
All going well babywise- although I'm feeling so massive now and everything seems an effort... the only time I feel motivated to do anything is in the middle of the night when I can't sleep.. and then not actually motivated to get out of bed unless its to go to the toilet..

I went over on my ankle (didn't fall thank god) and cracked my ankle bone on my way to one of the antenatal classes 5 weeks ago so i've been on crutches since.. Its still not healed but it has improved a lot thank god!! (They couldn't put me in a cast due to pregnancy/natural swelling so I had a big boot first and now a strapping).. I'm now able to limp around without a crutch inside the house where I am stuck almost all of the time but need crutches outdoors.. Have been pretty miserable to be honest (lots of tears in the first few weeks) but its improved to the point where I think I could care for a baby on my own indoors if it came now.. something I couldn't have done a few weeks ago... as I needed to use both crutches..
Haven't been able to prepare frozen meals or anything as I had planned or shop- except for online- but it was a good way to forceably wind down work wise before my finish date on Friday... Ive only been able to work from home.. and even that was difficult while keeping my foot elevated!!

Cant wait for baby to arrive.. Due date 31 December .. although if it started tonight I'd probably spend christmas day in Holles st..

bobskii

Christ! ! you poor thing bad enough being heavily pregnant without all that to contend with!

Lashes28

Snap on your due date Daisy!! Fingers (and legs) crossed none of us end up in for Xmas day!!

What a nasty thing to happen to you during pregnancy, I'm clumsy and awkward as it is,I'd say having crutches is doubly hard. Have they told you a plan for giving birth? Will you be able to manage

Daisy Dalzer

Thanks for the sympathy!! Have gotten my head around it and have developed a good relationship with the delivery man from all the online shopping I've been doing!

Now that I can put some weight on it I am able to sit on my exercise ball (which is such a relief!) and also limp around.. So I'm still hoping to have a reasonably active labour.. A couple of weeks ago it seemed lying down was the only option.. And the midwife in Holles St was advising me that I should prepare for an epidural as it would be difficult to go without when I would have been so restricted (all the yoga moves I'd learned would have been impossible etc) .. Wish it would hurry up and heal though.. I am longing to go for a walk outside in the fresh air..

Feeling sore or stiff 'down there' and I'm assuming that this is the 'pressure' that people talk about.. uncomfortable in general though.. Eating all around me!!

Sounds like a rough time of it, mind yourself and hopefully it all goes well now!

Just woke up as usual to go to the bathroom. Cue uncontrollable cold and shivering. Bloody odd symptom, I rattled the crap out of myself and baby before 'warming up'. Even though I don't think I was actually very cold at all!

Do you have a thermometer? If so check your temp as it sounds like you may have had a high temp. Shivering could have been rigors (shivering but because the body is too hot even though they feel cold, stops and you warm up as temp comes down) Just keep an eye on it I guess.

mirrorwall14

Temp is ok thanks! I think it was night sweats and the cold of the bathroom that did it tbh because I woke up twice after that drenched!

bobskii

so seems they will let me go over after all!!all fine at check up back in two weeks if they don't see Me before then!

lashofeye

mirrorwall14

Happy Christmas everyone!

Lashes28

Nah no stirring here either! Just super busy lately.
Does anyone know if your gp can give you a sweep? I'm in Monday for 40 week check up wouldn't mind to try to get going!

bobskii

dunno lashes don't think I've heard of gp doing it . They won't give me a sweep will just bring me in to break my waters and if that doesn't work its section for me . I'm doing my utmost ta get this one dislodged in the next week!

fall

My iPad was broken so I haven't been on. Had contractions for three hours yesterday then stopped. Loads of mad pain and increase in discharge so who knows! Hope everyone is already relaxing and enjoying the celebrations.
On the sweep thing if your cervix is not favourable you are much more likely to have a difficult labour or even end in an emergency section. Google bishop score. I know it's hard to wait but if you can.

bobskii

she said . She will check me to see how I am Monday week hut I really hope I go in or around my due date!

HazelBee

How's everyone doing? Hope you all had a good Christmas. I had to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in hospital as I seemed to have injured a muscle in my back. It was really excruciating at the time but thankfully has calmed down enough to let me sleep now and I got out in time for some Christmas dinner. Taking it very easy for the next while to let it heal. I don't think it will help when the labour pains arrive.

I had a full check up before being admitted and I'm 1cm dilated already. (37 weeks) I know it could still be weeks but it's good to know things have progressed a little by themselves.
