  • ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    Morning all,

    I am hoping that the non appearance of a 3rd tri thread means you have all had better nights last night and got some sleep!!

    I have not been up long and am debating whether to make the trip into town or not. My friend is coming for lunch and I am not sure when so may not be worth it. I don't really need anything desperately but quite fancy a mooch round the shops. 

    Pregnancy wise am a bit achey but apart from that ok. Had a minor breakdown last night about the ban on sugar but sure it was just withdrawal symptoms - I have managed almost three weeks already and there is only today left to go (fingers crossed that my results come back normal and I am allowed to eat it again in moderation. 

    Hi to all laters and lurkers

    Good morning all!

    charliedaisy- must have posted at the same time- i have deleted my post! hope you are allowed sugar back into your diet today, what have you had to stop?

    i had the best sleep last night, went to bed at 9.30pm and woke up at just before 9am!! Tired was an understatement. Was really fed up and bored yesterday after spending another day indoors alone, when OH came home from i said we could walk to the shop to get a couple of bits. shop is only about a 15 min walk away... i didnt make it to the end of our estate, had to turn around as i got a bad stitch and back ache- thought i was going to bring on labour!! came home and crashed out on the sofa for the rest of the evening!!!

    no twinges or niggles to report on. have a mw appointment at 2.10pm today, so will see what she says. see if i can get through today without getting p'd off with the constant calls/text/emails asking if i have any pains/twinges or if the baby is here yet!!!!! surely if i was in pain i would really let my mum know so she doesnt really need to text me and call me constantly!! grrr!! sorry for the rant. only 1 day overdue so far and its getting on my nerves already!

    hope you all have a lovely day.

    Morning ladies,

    CD, I hope that the mw says you can have sugar back and that the appointment goes well.

    Loubie, it sounds like your good nights sleep has been a lifesaver.  The constant phone calls are ridiculous, but if you can keep your calm it really does help, I found just smiling and saying nope no twinges, I am fine thank you.  Helped get them off the phone quicker.  I also got  Mr kmw to field some of the calls just so I wasn't faced with all of them.  The calls have started here as well my Dad called yesterday, I am usually lucky if I hear from him every 3 months lol.  Are you thinking of asking for a sweep today at the mw's?

    As for me, nothing happening here, I was having some BH last night but they didn't come to anything, I am so sure that this baby is going to be late like his brothers, I also cannot believe how close I am to the top of the list Eek  

    So its just a case of waiting, nothing much needs doing, we have been very good at keeping on top of things in the house, including Mr kmw, I think that knowing that the mw will be coming here when I go into labour is a good incentive to keep it clean and tidy.

    Right take care ladies.

    Oh as well, I really hope that Sparkle_Kez is now holding her baby.

  • Re: ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    kmw- amazing how quickly your name gets to the top of the list! hope the BH turn into labour soon and that you dont go too far overdue!!

    not sure if i will be asking the mw for a sweep- not sure what that really entails? plus OH isnt going to be there as he has to work, my mum is taking me. i would rather OH be around, but maybe i should concider one if it gets things moving a bit.

  • Re: ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    Morning all,

    CD - really hope your mw appt goes well and you are allowed to eat chooclate again - i have to say i've developed suhc a sweet tooth since being pregnant its ridiculous. Hope you have a nice lunch with your friend. oh amd minor (or major) meltdowns are normal - i seem to be crying every day at the moment because i'm so uncomfortable.

    Loubielou - hope your mw appt is good too and really glad you had a good nights sleep - did you not even get up to go to the bathroom?!! mymum texts 'u ok?' all the time - if i don't answer i have visions of her going into a panic! do you really want to know what a sweep entails?!!

    kmw - hope you have a nice relaxing day. oh and right behind you on the list!!

    Really hope the fact sparkle kez isn't here means good things and she is otherwise occupied..........

    Welcome to Pip when she pops on later.

    AFM nothing much to report - as i said keep crying as i'm so uncomfortable in the evenings - i seem to spend alot of time lying in bed! no plans for today but H is off work most f this week which is really nice (he has to go to day job on thurs but no evening job as they are closed this week).

    Anyone heard from mycroft or Ball?

  • Re: ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    Good morning ladies,

    Charliedaisy, hope you find a bargain at the shops and well done on the sugar ban - I hope you don't have to keep it up for much longer.

    Loubielou, i hope your midwife says that things are ready to get moving and sending you lots of baby out vibes.

    kmw, Wave I haven't 'spoken' to you since the ttc thread!  Well done on the cleaning and I hope baby makes an appearnace for you soon.

    AFM we're going to pay the balance on the pram we've ordered today, so I'll get to have a good look around mamas and papas and I'm sure I'll come back with something! 

    Lots of baby out vibes for those that need them and a lovely Tuesday for all (Hi to ***Pip***  as she should be graduating today aswell) xxx

    Vicky 28 weeks today.

  • Re: ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    Hello!!! Wave <--- insane wave

    CD - hope it's not too busy if you do go into town, it's pouring here, hope you have better weather. Hope you can have some sugar soon although it might come as a shock!

    loubielou - great news about sleeping, those aches certainly do put the fear into you, people dont tell you about those! Baby out vibes for you.

    kmw - BH sounds promising, it's all practice practice practice!

    Goldfish - I'm slightly dreading the last few weeks as I am so uncomfortable already. Make the most of H being off and get him to look after you.

    Mrs VLL - I see you came over then (hold my hand!). Have fun looking for baby things - the best purchases are sometimes the unplanned ones! I always use you and CD as a guide for a section date

    littlemisshopeful - scary seeing your name up there isnt it? Makes it all hit home.

    AFM - first official day yay! Am so glad to have made it this far, little girl has been kicking away for the last couple of days like mad and I've been telling her the countdown to big girl's all the time. Working a lot on the house at the moment as H is home (longest break he's had in a long long time) so feelign generally achey and trying to be careful.

    Can I be added to the very bottom of that lovely list as 30th March please? I'm going to be having a section at 39 weeks at the latest but that's my actual DD. My pester person is Meggy Winehouse. Thanks!

  • Re: ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    Well didn't make the shops as have just spent almost an hour at the Ford garage/ My window wipers decided that they wouldn't turn off at all on Christmas Eve so I thought I would pop up there and see if they could do it in my warranty. They have apparently never seen the fault before so spent ages trying to find out what it is. Hopefully they will get the part tomorrow and I can get the car fixed - thankfully in this weather its that they won't turn off rather than won't turn on!! May try and get to the shops after lunch - will the out of town ones be open til late this week or not?

    Man at the garage asked when I was due and then asked if I was having twins? I am not even that big!! Hopefully midwife will meausre me tomorrow, she didn't at 25 weeks which I thought was strange but having asked a friend who had her apparently she doesn't rate the measurements anyway and I guess as I am having an extra scan at 34 weeks they will check for size then anyway.

    The sugar ban is everything that contains sugar and sweeteners - harder than I realised!! There was sugar in my urine (as well as protein and white cells) and so she put me on a ban for 3 weeks to see what the next results say and then will make a decision on how to proceed. I can cope with a three week ban if I avoid gestational diabetes and lesson learnt that scoffing my way through several large packs of Haribo a week is not good for me or baby!! 

    Loubielou - glad you had a good nights sleep. I know the feeling of boredom and not leaving the house - you just get cabin fever after a while! | dragged myself out for a short wander round our local town yesterday just to get some fresh air and exercise.  Will the midwife give you a sweep today?  I can't imagine how annoying the calls must be - I don't blame you for getting irritated at all

    kmw - of course because you are ready and house is tidy baby will be late - isn't it always the way. How late were your two boys? Hope baby arrives soon and you don't go too overdue

    GF - am so glad that your H is off and you are getting to spend some time together before baby is born. Sorry to hear you are so uncomfortable - I have to admit that my bed is getting more and more attractive earlier in the day!

    Mrs VLL - hello,  enjoy your browse round mamas and papas - don't buy the whole shop!! What pram did you go for?

    LMH - hope blood pressure is behaving and you are on here later

    Pip - hello and welcome to then big girls club (means I am not bottom of the list already - although Pippetta will be here well before baby charliedaisy I am sure!!) As your H is off make the most of it and make him do all the hard work. You just take it easy. We are meant to be redecorating but H is just lazy and I have to nag him to do anything. 

    Baby out vibes to all who need them

  • Re: ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    Morning all.

    Charliedaisy - hope you are off the ban and well done you for sticking to it, not sure I could!

    Loubielou - I would ask for a sweep if I was you, really got things started for me.

    kmw - well done on keeping ontop of the housework....any tips!?  My place looks like a toy factory and A is at nursery today so I really need to get sorted.  I need to go through all the toys and put away the baby ones to keep for number 2 and make space for the new ones!

    Mrs VickyLouLou - hope you find something lovely to buy today!

    AFM - I had a really crap day yesterday, everyone and everything was gettig on my nerves.  Poor MrJKN got the silent treatment most of the day and when I did speak to him I was jumping down his throat, no idea why I was just in a bad grumpy mood.  Not sure I feel much better today tbh either.  I am starting to get nervous about the birth and about having 2 under 18 months and how I will cope...hence my other moany post this am. 

     

    Hope everyone is having a good day xx

  • Re: ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    Morning all

    CD- Hope you get sugar back in your diet soon. Think it would break me. Especially all the choc I got at Xmas. Men - don't have a clue sometimes!!!!

    loubielou - baby out vibes heading their way to you. Hope mw appointment goes OK.

    kmw- Think I'd be the same about keeping house tidy if I knew mw would be round when labour starts. Unfortnately my H still won't even consider a home birth.

    GF- hope you feel better today and you enjoy your day with H. I was just wondering about Mycroft too.

    MVLL- Enjoy your shopping trip.

    LMH- hope your BP ok and don't suffer too much with the shock of being at the top of the list.

    pip -welcome to the big girls club. Make sure you are careful and take lots of breaks.

    mrsjkn- Hope you begin to feel a little better today. Hug

    AFM- had a good day at parents yesterday, the roads weren't too icy on the way back either. Had another bit of bad news before we set off though- next door neighbour had stroke on boxing day - she's only 40 - begins to make you think.

    Feeling exhaused today again, still not dressed yet, neither is E. I hate not knowing what's the matter with me but I think it might be because I've stopped and am not doing anything particularly taxing. Hope I can pick up though as I've got 8 more full weeks at work and know I'll struggle if I feel like this.  Sorry for woe is me post.

     

    Hope Sparkle_Kez is holding her baby right now. Baby out vibes for all those who want them.

  • Re: ***Tuesday 3rd Trimesters***

    Mrs VLL - have added you to the list. enjoy baby things shopping!

    LMH - scary huh, though there are a few on the overdue bench so don't panic too much! hope bp check is ok.

    Hey Pip - will add you now. glad your H is having some time off and baby has been kicking lots - she must have know you were heading here. Don't overdo things though - make sure you put your feet up at some point today.

    CD - sounds like a v odd fault on the car - hope they can sort it out! I wouldn't worry about the measuring - its v vague anyway - my mw just looks and feels, doesn't use a tape measure but it can all depend on position of baby anyway - some weeks you might measure ahead, others behind. infact no-one has ever mentioned size either way to me and i've now had 5 scans in total inc last week so i'm presuming its all pretty average.

    mrsJKN - hope you are feeling brighter today.
