@Westy22 yeah I've been pretty much in nesting mode since 20 weeks, my OH is fit to kill me id say! 😂 We got new couch, fridge, tumble dryer and a bigger car, they were all needed in fairness 🤷‍♀️ Started washing all the baby clothes this week and spent €300 in boots & primark stocking up on PJs and stuff for hospital bag 🙈 I did get a lot of hand me downs like the next to me crib and bouncer/swing etc off my sister and all of my sisters are making me have a baby shower next weekend with some close friends too so they made me do a list for that.. feels so surreal to be at this point yet still weirdly feel like something is going to go wrong 😕

@Jadeypie tough s**t your boss will just have to cope, you're literally just saying no to the proper physical stuff! My sleep went to pot for the first couple of weeks after my positive, I think it's a combination of shock, anxiety and excitement x

@Paws4thought if it's the strip ones they are harder to pick up as they are 25mul and the bigger boots ones are 10mul so hopefully it's still too early 🙏 xx

Thanks all, I did a cheapie boots test this morning and no line but they're not as sensitive as easy @ home so I'm still hopeful as my boobs are more sore than normal, AF due friday so will no for definite then :)
@Jadeypie that's such a bad attitude, he should be supporting not moaning.
I agree all your pregnancy have gone so quickly!

Jadeypie · 14/08/2024 11:16

Morning everyone 😊 I feel like all your pregnancies have flown! It seems like yesterday yous got your bfp and now we are getting last bits in haha.

I've just come off a night shift and I feel merhhh!! My sleep patterns gone to shit keep waking up. I told my manage , he's a tit tbh with the attuide of what am I going to do now if u crnt do this and that. I'm not even asking much, just saying I crnt be tipping heavy wagons down a hill that I can barely do. I'm not pregnant, never mind pregnant.

Thi king of you today @Paws4thought xx

Westy22 · 14/08/2024 10:59

Are you both prepared now for baby? @Supertrooper101 @Sez281 I still feel like I'm not lol I think because finishing the decorating has taken priority so nursery isn't sorted I've held back 🙈 also alot of things are coming from my sister so it feel like I'm not buying loads. Biggest ticket items left to get are cot and car seat. Then it's just lots of little things like bottles/bath etc

How are you today @Paws4thought xx

Sez281 · 14/08/2024 09:48

@Paws4thought thinking of you this morning, hope you're not still in line limbo! X

@Hankthehonk interesting you say that about pelvic pain, av had spd for months and didnt put it down to the transverse position. How comes they did the c.s at 36wks? Am even more paranoid now as this one was 95centile at 34 and no decision is being made till after 37wks. Feel thats a tad too bloody late now 🤯
@Westy22 that does sound bad about the vit k dose. Never even questioned it before but even says on the leaflet formula has it in anyway 🤷‍♀️...

Westy22 · 13/08/2024 14:30

@Hankthehonk ah really, I'm totally fine with a section tbh would rather plan for it than emergency so we will see what happens over the next 8 weeks lol @Supertrooper101 is also in the same boat and a few weeks ahead of me lol hip wise no aches, fair bit of a back ache at night and surprisingly rib ache even tho it's not pushing into my ribs 😫 god help me if it does turn and get its feet up there.... Tbh my appetite is still good and that doesn't help my ribs at all with less stomach room 😂

Hankthehonk · 13/08/2024 14:14

Oh wow huge congratulations @Jadeypie so thrilled to see your news!! And hopefully yours too @Paws4thought I can definitely see a line on your test!

@Westy22 my boy was transverse breech right to the end, booked an elective section at 36 weeks and it was actually a really positive experience. There are useful threads around MN if your wee one does stay stuck but I was definitely in the minority, it's very likely yours will shift. What are the odds of two of us in this wee group having the stubborn breech babies?! 😋
Hope it's not too uncomfortable for you, his positive definitely made my pelvic pain a lot worse in pregnancy.

Jadeypie · 13/08/2024 12:05

@Westy22 retail yes hahah dont think the same company. Ours is on a hill aswell so makes the loud even heavier! I'm just not even going there I can do all the other stuff like. And believe me when you are in labour you'll have strength you never even knew u had xx

Westy22 · 13/08/2024 12:00

I get the impression you work in the same kind of retailer as me 🤣 @Jadeypie laugh if it's the same company. Do what's right for you, I feel like I've just cracked on and I just draw the line at certain things, still dragging in pallets etc feel like if my bodys already used to it then it's fine and I was telling myself if I slow down too much my muscles will go weak and ill be a weakling in labour 🤣🤣

@Sez281 yeahhh I'm hopeful it will move, its just never been feet up so far 🤣 get the impression it's comfy as it is. I'm getting the full double whammy movements now with arms and legs going at the same time 😫

@Supertrooper101 from what I recall, there's been a few comments around the dosage of vitamin k being extremely high...possibly higher than adult recommended amount. I'm still on the fence haven't decided whether to go for the mouth dose x I think I bloat loads you know, when I get up I don't feel as big lol

Jadeypie · 13/08/2024 10:52

@Supertrooper101 that's it crnt do anything about it and will have to accommodate for me ha when i was having james it was lockdown so I was off till 3 months and then had nothing to do but sit round for the rest of the pregnancy. This time will be so different regarding work xx

Supertrooper101 · 13/08/2024 09:13

@Jadeypie fybogel !! 2 a day until your back to normal. Man, i forgot how bad and painful that used to be lol how do you think work will be for you? It is simple a case of saying this is how it is.... and they cant really do anything 🤷‍♀️
@Sez281 yeah 34 ish. Did the birthing thing yesterday.. I didnt realise there was so much to an induction tho so that threw me. Think id prefer the c.s to that! Same as you tho, all depends on position and size lol
@Westy22 yeah am abit like that with how a tape measure can be so accurate. Your bump looks neat...... and big tho so i wouldnt have put you under 28 but could be alot of water or she was off by a cm or 3 lol
@Paws4thought i so hope this is different for you this time in terms of being listened to and support 🤞

Jadeypie · 13/08/2024 08:38

@Paws4thought keeping everything crossed for you xx

Jadeypie · 13/08/2024 08:32

@Sez281 I will look into that thank you. Sounds like she's quite the active one haha. It's mad because I feel like I've forgot so much since my aone with appointment wise.

I'm on a night shift tonight so I will be telling my manager even tho I'm so early I am taking zero risks when it comes to work. I'm expected to pull heavy deliverys in ect on my own half the time and no way am I doing any of that! Xx

Sez281 · 13/08/2024 08:25

@Paws4thought keeping everything crossed for you 🙏

@Westy22 I forgot to add mine is turning from transverse to head down all the time (I've lost count how many times lol) even at 31 weeks she's turned again this week so I don't know how much Id trust those stats of them staying the same as 28 weeks as I've had 3 changes since then, even though she's a big enough weight she's still able to move a lot 😂

OP posts:
Paws4thought · 13/08/2024 07:43

Glad I'm not seeing things, I'll get some more tests ready for tomorrow morn and keep everything crossed.
@Westy22 ah OK, right in the middle then, I guess it must give them a good guide if not super accurate.
@Sez281 has your BP stayed the same or does it fluctuate? Hopefully they can keep it controlled for you.
@Jadeypie yeah that's true, I will see what's in boots :) hopefully the excitement will stay for you!

Sez281 · 13/08/2024 07:36

@Jadeypie I suffered with awful digestion pains for first trimester, fybogel over the counter helped but it didn't stop it completely, I was doubled over most evenings in pain for about 30 mins! 😣

@Westy22 there's loads of posts on here about how inaccurate they are so I'd definitely take it with pinch of salt

@Supertrooper101 you're 34/35 now yeah? How do you feel about a section of it comes to it with position? I'm gearing up to be told I'll need one, I'd prefer not to but will 100% just go with what they recommend

OP posts:
Sez281 · 13/08/2024 07:34

@Paws4thought there's definitely a whisper of a line there! If you can I'd recommend getting a boots pink dye too, but keep testing with easy's, feeling tentatively hopeful for you! 🙏 xx

I'm in weekly with consultant now so had a scan yesterday and all looked good. Just need to keep an eye on my BP constantly

OP posts:
Jadeypie · 13/08/2024 07:31

@Westy22 is this bump measurements? Xx

Jadeypie · 13/08/2024 07:30

@Paws4thought get the early digital one it takes all the guessing away with the lines xx

Westy22 · 13/08/2024 07:28

@Paws4thought I can definitely see a line and it looks like colour more than evap 🙏🙏🙏🙏

So I think I'm supposed to measure 28cm so puts me just below 50th percentile however the way they do it doesn't feel me with much confidence it's very accurate lol xx

Jadeypie · 13/08/2024 07:28

@Paws4thought that is exactly like mine!!!! Eeeeek if u look back at mine it's even darker!!

Yeh the first time I'm actually excited today xx

Paws4thought · 13/08/2024 07:25

I tested this morn so 11dpo, I feel like I can see a hint of a line, might just be me wanting to see it tho and could be an evap. I have no other tests in the house at mo, what do you guys think?

@Jadeypie congratulations!! Love your chilled attitude :) is this your first positive since ectopic? Prunes are normally recommended to get things moving but that's not from personal experience ha.
@Supertrooper101 I would have thought they'd tell you straight away if you had it, how many weeks are you now?
@Westy22 is 27cm big or small?
@Sez281 have you got any scans coming up soon?
