Due in October 2012 Part 6 - Third Trimester Trials and Tribulations

[YompingJo]

Shiny new thread!

Ready?
Steady?
Go!

smileyhappymummy Aw I know exactly how u feel having a second section. I always knew I would never be able to give birth naturally but I wasn't prepared for how much of a failure it would make me feel.
I also cannot have an epidural due to my medical condition being spinal, so I have to be put to sleep, and thus my DH is not allowed in the room to see baby being born either :(
My DS was born at 9:36 in the morning, and as they wanted to keep an eye on me in intensive care for a few hrs, I didn't get to see him until 6pm that night!! He was 6 wks early and was in an incubator in the SCBU so bonding was hard too. Although I spent as much time with him as I could, I was still recovering myself (they were nice enough to give me a private room and not put me on a general ward with other mums and babies) I was discharged after 5 days but as DS was early and had trouble keeping his body temp up, he had to stay in for a further 5 days.
I swear my heart broke when I first left him in the hospital, although they did have rooms I could stay in sometimes.
This time will be different as I know DS is at home and as he will just have started school he will need me to get well and get home to be there for him too....
Whatever happens at the end of this crazy pregnancy, I know that the fact I won't be able to say to my kids "I saw u cone into this world" is something that I will never quite come to terms with.

Morning ladies!

First up CWest very glad you are getting to hang on for a bit longer :)

Kyrria / Yomping - PMSL at the Star Wars themed stuff :o I'm the Star Wars geek in our house, DH just doesn't get it at all. The "Luke I am your father" is great but the AT-AT = hardcore, bowdown geekdom :) On the short fuse with DH front I am really having to watch that I don't become impossibly critical of everything because my DH is so lovely and willing and helpful but has a tendency to do a kind of half-assed job of cleaning etc so ends up needing re-done by me.

Huffle hope you are getting some time to enjoy the sunshine! :) Gotta make the most of it while we get it! Clouded over here this morning so garden plans are disappearing. If it makes you feel any better our move hit a set-back yesterday as fecking kitchen isn't ready so it won't go in until next week. Also anticipating water pressure problems (old street pipes) and a long drawn out battle with the Water Board...

WantanOrange I love Greek names :) Was totally obsessed with Greek mythology when I was a teenager. In danger of outing myself here to people who know me but I fell in love with the name Ariadne and when I was about 15 I said to mum, "If I have a daughter I'm going to call her Ariadne." To which she replied, "You'll have people going "'Arry, 'ARRY!!! Yer tea's ready love!" Somehow it didn't sound as romantic in broad Norn Irish accent ... :o

Smiley on the CS front it is definitely on my mind more now things are getting closer. Not worried at all about the actual procedure as I've had surgery before but am wondering how limited I'm going to be afterwards. People have assured me there is such a huge difference between EMCS and ELCS in terms of how you feel and have also told me to make sure I take my painkillers and don't try to be a hero. Hoping that will all help

Right better go. Our visitors have 2 young kids with them and they are 'lively' to say the least They have all gone out for a walk so enjoying the blissful silence. House is totally not child-proofed and I'm not great with perpetual screeching. We are going to get such a shock when this bean arrives... :o

Have a good day ladies

Can someone give me a slap? I?m obsessing about movements again. It?s disconcerting that I?m not feeling the big kicks in the ribs that I was feeling a couple of weeks ago and it?s making me worried. I did another count and got 15 movements in 2 hours this morning, which if I was being rational, I?d know is absolutely fine! But just because they?re smaller movements and lower down, for some reason it?s making me panic.
Please tell me I?m being an irrational fool because small movements count just as much as big ones, and that she?s clearly just in a different position and seems to be facing my arse rather than facing out. I know this is true but I think I need someone else to say it.
Christ, I didn?t used to be such a worrier.

London mrs. totally normal. Don.t panic. My bean also flipped around yesterday and kicks are less iften but seem to be coming out my butt/cervix. Such an odd feeling. I'm sure will move into another position again soon.

Gur on anorher note...not sure if I.m gaining too much weight or if I.m really THAT constipated.

Re luke... Also on our list due to geekdom... But all I hear in my head are the schoolyard taunts of luke luke you make me want to puke :(

Arthur is our current fave.

I know, I'm being insane. Loads of movement going on right now, just not kicks, but still plenty so all is fine.
LOVE Arthur- classic.

Luke is nice- personally if ours turns out to be a boy, we'll go with Jar Jar Binks.

One thing I forgot to mention about my birth centre visit is that 2 of the midwives are male. Absolutely don't have a problem with that at all... Except one of them is really rather gorgeous (which I obviously didn't notice, being happily married and all). Weird or not?

Not much news from my end but maternity leave is nice in the sunshine. I'm doing lots of exercise and lots of relaxing and eating/cooking super-healthy and seeing lots of friends. Had my mum up for a few days, we went hiking, outdoor swimming, shopping, wandering around parks, more walking, had lunches out. It's nice. Sleeping better too, despite the heat. Pregnancy-related ailments seemed to have improved massively on stopping work. I hardly get backache any more or bad insomnia or that crippling fatigue. I feel very heavy in the evenings and often nap in the afternoons, that's about all. Baby squid boots me all the time, haven't had a quiet day for some weeks now, which is nice and reassuring. All the kicks are high up which is cheering, though I know baby still has plenty of time to turn. I have an at-home appt with midwife on monday, has anyone had one of these? Presumably to check I am not living in complete squalor/chain-smoking/keeping rabid snakes as pets? I'll have to get the boy to tidy the place

I won't even try to keep up today though I do read and think of you all often - particularly relieved CWest is doing ok and very glad you're signed off.

Lots of name conversation, I like Tom and Arthur (my nephew is called Arthur) and Jamie and the more straightforward names, basically. James and Robert (Rob) are top of my list. Boys names are a lot easier than girls I find... Jess is high on our list (and was before the Olympics, but given Jess Ennis is now a local sheffield legend, I don't mind that connotation!) Me and boyfriend have decided to give the baby my surname, do you guys think this is a big deal? I have mentioned it to a few people (a few people asked, actually)... my friends are very unsurprised, my mum is a little surprised, and I think it's no big deal. We've been together since we were kids and have no plans to marry, we're not religious at all. It's not a statement, we just had to pick one of them and we prefer my surname and are a lot closer to my side of the family. I suppose I wouldn't want to cause any more comment by calling the kid something overly unusual as well! But I like simpler names.

I probably have loads more to say but this thread is so hectic so I'll stop there!! Really thinking of everyone who's still at work, given how much better I feel for stopping... esp Kyyria think you just need out of there love, but I know you've got to stick with it for now. I hope my chilled out posts are nice and reassuring and giving you hope for later weeks; not unbearable for you all to read!

squid, 33+3

Just to add that I'm 27 wks today.. that's third trimester now right?

Squid i i dont think its wierd at all, if it suits both you and your partner then it doesnt matter what everyone else thinks. We're giving ours my partners name because a) im getting rid of my last name (my fathers) as soon as i bloody can and b) because its the easiest, commonest surname ever so any name we pick will go nicely :-)
i think if i had been given my mothers maiden name then it would have been different.
Cwest me too!!! Snap. 13 weeks to go for me rhough....

CWest, yes, definitely 3rd trimester, no=one seems sure when it start but 27 weeks definitely counts!

And to CWest and smiley, I'm sad that you feel sad about not giving birth the normal way. I think carrying a baby for 9 months and then taking care of a dependant human being for years is a major, major achievement. It doesn't matter how it makes the transition from inside to outside as long as it is done safely. We should all feel massively proud of ourselves just for getting through it! and a since pregnancy feels like an olympic marathon-style event!

LondonMrs, sounds like your bean has moved, that's all, so you get a different amount of kicks. When I booted mine on the head at Center Parcs (poor bean ) it moved from head down to lying across me and the movement reduced lots just due to it being in a different position.

PMSL at Jar Jar as a name! The first time I met one of DH's cousins was at a funeral and she called her son Jar Jar and I was horrified, had to whisper to DH in the middle of the service "Is their son really called Jar Jar?" He snorted with laughter (we're very bad at funerals) and said that no, he is called Elijah but he couldn't say his name very well when he was younger and kept calling himself Li-Ja which then became Ja Ja which I heard as Jar Jar. And re the fit midwife (mid husband?) - it'll be fine as long as you don't have gas and air - apparently that can make you rather uninhibited which might be embarrassing (snigger!)

Squid, it's never bad to read about someone being happy . Nice to hear you sounding chilled.

I went to a pre- and post-natal exercise class at the gym today with a friend who's 12 weeks behind me. It was good, reckon I'll barely be able to move my legs tomorrow but I enjoyed it - mainly upper body stuff, arm weights sitting on exercise balls then some lunges and squats. We're going to try to go twice a week for the remainder of the summer holidays (she's a teacher too) and we're going to swim after Monday's class as well. Go us! I'm determined to try and tone up my legs a bit before I have to get all naked in front of people - I know that when it comes to giving birth I won't care, but I care about the thought of it at the moment, if that makes sense.

And... I spoke to my midwife today about wanting a homebirth. Had been steeling myself for it being a difficult conversation and for her to try to talk me out of it. And it was fine, she said we'll discuss my birth plan at 36 week appointment and if all still well and I'm still low risk then she'll book me in and get the homebirth kit to me when I'm 37 weeks. (no idea what this is but it sounds VERY exciting, I love anything with that comes in a kit! )

Is anyone else a weird combination of excited that the end is nigh and bloody terrified that the end is nigh?

I read somewhere that eating dates can help with labour (not during labour - although maybe that would help too!) but couldn't remember the details so just Googled it. Sounds interesting and worth trying - see here

Also, re. perineum massage, this is the most helpful set of instructions I have found, complete with diagram.

Interesting. I eat dates to help with constipation. Maybe it works the same way and softens the baby up a bit?

Yomping can you post the link to massage again? They were both for dates!! Made me giggle when I tentatively hit link for massage thinking jees, don't show me pics straight away, and up comes the dates!! Brilliant link on the dates!!!!! Defo getting myself some of those!! Tho I intensely dislike them.......

Ps love the name Luke! But it makes me giggle because I am an optician and every time I see a child called Luke and get ask him to look at the screen or look at the pictures I get all tongue tied.........

arrrgggghhh DS has come into contact with chickenpox.....pls send lots of immune vibes! Will be on tenterhooks for the next THREE WEEKS while we wait for the incubation period to be over....arrrrghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies! Epic posting!

Well I'm feeling much better after my emotional meltdown the other day. So sorry for moaning, you know how it is some days. Yomping I don't hate you at all! Thank you for saying it was better than expected, and you too crazypaving (his n hers sinks are all the rage here, even in the cheapo places) and for the tips londonlivvy. I think what didn't come across in the pictures was the flimsyness of the house, which is such a big problem when you have extremes of temperature (it's 38 today and was -15 for 2 weeks this winter) so we have made the decision to go for the other, more expensive house. Nothing like a last minute change to keep the adrenalin up during a house move eh?! Currently in negotiations with landlady over getting our deposit back. Oh and our boiler is fixed following the lightening strike and the agency agreed it was their responsibility to pay for, which is good as it cost ?500!

Kyrria Hope work is ok and you're sleeping better. It's so hard to get comfortable in bed? I have four pillows propping me up. DH regularly decamps to the spare room. We've had HUGE rows recently too, I think it's normal for this stage. And I'm getting very vivid dreams too.... but I don't really mind and they seem to involve Robert Pattinson... stares off into middle distance for 10 minutes

londonlivvy Have you exchanged yet? You sounds totally how I feel about moving, and I'm only going a few km outside of Toulouse. But there are no mum and baby groups here. And French women can be tricky to get to know sometimes. I figure something will work itself out.

LoopyLa Sweaty, yes, welcome to my world.

MrsConfusion Still not received hypno CD, going to pick it up in September when back in the UK. I think the tightness is Braxton Hicks no? I get it when I'm walking around, dehydrated and especially when I need a wee.

Yomping Home birth not an option here, but I have to say I probably wouldn't be keen anyway. Who does the cleaning up afterwards?

Planktonette Ooh nice names! I'm quite traditional so love them all, but Tom is very cute. It's on our list too.

Zara Toby is a great name, Xavier is very popular here in France and my SIL just named her DD Delilah, Lilah for short, so cute! Exciting about the possible move. It is a long way, but it would be such an adventure. And like you say closer to your home (NZ right?)

ShellWeDance Elliot and Amelie are lovely too. Am I detecting a French vibe in the names here so far?!

CWest Glad to hear the BP is down and you're feeling better, but take it easy. And LOVE Naomi Louise!

Beeblebear Not afraid of throwing up realy... but am quite afraid of doing an accidental poo though!

crazypaving I can understand you feeling bad about DS when he is so little and not used to being with other people. It's completely natural to feel like that. It will be a bit of a shock when he realises the new baby isn't going anywhere, but eventually he will come round to the idea. I grew up as an only child (I have 3 half sisters a lot older than me) and most of the time I remember thinking how bored I was and how much I wanted a brother or sister to play with. Sending lots of chickenpox immunity vibes too!

Mickey I like Jasper and Esme and two middle names is normal to me - I have two middle names and think the baby will too if I get my way.

LOVE the Classical reference WantAnOrange! Hope all goes well on the house move.

Yomping Love your names too - Stella was my granny's middle name so I'd love to use it somewhere, either first or middle name.

smileyhappymummy Gret names too - Elizabeth and Eleanor are on our list - I'm Charlotte so can't really use that... starts thinking although maybe as a middle name?

LondonMrsS Wish I could reassure you. Mine wriggles like crazy then goes silent for ages. I actually haven't really been keeping track but as long as it moves every day I kind of assume everything's fine.

Can I share with you the single most bizarre pregnancy experience I've had so far? Anti-natal class today on breastfeeding. All of a sudden the midwife locked the door, drew the shutters and announced: 'Right, now we're all going to take our bras off and tweak our nipples to see if we can make some milk come out.' Ummm, OK? At one point she was actually holding my nipple, in front of a class of four complete strangers and a student midwife?! One of my more odd experiences out here....

Sweaty Smorgs, 32, 30+2, DC1

Thanks squid and smorgs for various positive vibes.

Work is bearable at present - just trying to keep my head down and stay off the radar for next 7 weeks! New boss seems nice and is saying all the right things so far - just waiting to see if they get followed up.

Slept slightly better with body pillow last night but still suffering with sore hips so will have to dig out another pillow for more padding! DH slightly less cranky today although still obviously not "happy". Said to him this evening that we're going to have to have a serious think about how we're going to cope when the little one is here, up crying half the night, and he still has to head to work...

Still, it's nearly weekend. Another week down and only 7 weeks left at work. Next week is my only full week left and I'm off early on the Friday for a mw appt so otnot too bad.

Sending hugs to all this evening - it's lovely having such a supportive and lovely bunch of people to share our concerns and thoughts with

hi ladies, omg, so much to catch up on!! cwest, glad your bp has normalised, and fjord, hope yours comes down too and u pass your GTT with flying colours.

Re bean movements - we have quiet days and busy days. i do worry if i dont get a nudge at night when i get up to pee. Am now sometimes getting movement in different places at once, which feels too funny and makes me giggle.

Re OBEM - i love it, cannot understand why more of them are not offered happidurals - the women who have them always seem to have a great experience.

Angelico,i have 3 friends who've had both elcs and emcs - all would chose c section again rather than attempt natural birth.

re 3rd trimester, yes, 27 weeks is the begining of the end!!

re sweating - can't say i am looking forward to leaky boobs as the wet patches at the front will match the underarm patches...gross!!!

re names - Luke is too funny. Athur, Jasper and Amelie are all lovely. We like Rose for a middle name, too!

crazy, sympathies re your mum's email, but def sounds lime you've made the right decision. immune vibes, immune vines....we need a needle emoticon!

smorgs cannot believe u all had to have a go at squeezing out milk - how bizarre!

B/F has been telling me i must get my bag packed and insist all socialisng is done at a convienient location for me - so bossy but so sweet!!

Kyrria sounds like you're going through a tough time I really feel for you. If it helps, dh and I had a horrible patch a few weeks ago culminating in him saying he couldn't 'carry me through' everything. He seemed totally uninterested in the baby and I began to wonder what the hell we'd done. He's started to relax a bit now. Do you think your dh is worried about things and taking it out on you or is it mainly tiredness? Hope you sleep better tonight

Smorgs So sorry but at your antenatal experience, thats hilarious!!!

Kyyria Hope things get better with the other half. Maybe he needs some man time? Retreat into his cave and all that... (Can we tell I'm an avid men are from mars, women are from venus reader here?!)

Absolutely loving Nicola Adam's Gold win today- I really miss doing my street defence/martial arts stuff... I think I will take up boxing one day!!

Well ladies I have a "Back to the 90s" ( it wasnt that long ago was it?) themed 21st birthday party to attend tomorrow- I wanted to paint my belly (thanks for the inspiration squid!!) and go but I'm not sure what to go as.. we can go as anything that was in the 90s if that makes sense.
My uncle was all for painting the nirvana smiley on my belly and writing "smells like teen baby spirit"- but what else would I wear?! And really and truly I need an inflatable guitar. Which I don't have. Any other ideas people?! I've left this so late... Slaps myself

Mickey, 91 21, 27wks- officially in the third trimester!!!, DC1

Oh man I am TIRED. I have been so stressed about this bloody move business that I've been getting to sleep gone midnight and lying awake from five (when the aeroplanes start up) all week. Ace. Hardly what we preg ladies are supposed to get.

Anyway, we have now exchanged on DF's flat and the house (thanks for asking, smorgs) and complete on the 22nd. This is good. I can't wait to not have sodding planes from five every day. And no more noisy neighbours. And to finally have a bedroom big enough that I can get out of my side of the bed. Here I have to scoot out the end of the bed, which is getting harder as time goes on. We will also have a room for the baby so I can start nesting.

We don't yet have an exchange date on my flat, sadly. I'm hoping over the next month. We really need the money but there's a painful chain to work through. We have spent the last day or so in a whirlwind of admin,informing utilities, changing bank details, me trying to book removals etc. I also want to book a second removals van to get my furniture from my flat and all my stuff from my storage unit (I've been in DF's flat with all his stuff for the past 18 months. I was allowed one shelf for my books, two CDs and half the wardrobe. Two bowls for the kitchen. Oh and one picture) and he can't see the rush. Grr. Cos I want the house to feel like it's OURS, not HIS. Cos we need a spare bed and a desk and a washing machine. And I'm getting more preg so let's do it now, not later. I think he has now agreed to it though he harrumphed extensively about the cost.

The money thing also worries me - being entirely financially dependent on him when I leave work. He's very sensible with money, bordering on the careful. I am also pretty sensible (i save money every month and don't go overdrawn) but he takes it to whole new levels and I'm worried that I'm going to spend my life being cross examined about why we have to spend x or y. Or why i did x. Our new mortgage requires our salaries to go into a joint account and I already feel kinda like I'm not allowed to spend any of it. Oof. I guess we will work out a solution over time. I know it must be tough being the wage earner for a family, but we did agree that the best thing for our family would be for me to stay at home for a while. The net gain of me returning to work (after child care costs and trains) wouldn't be worth the stress it would bring, particularly with nearest family support 300 miles away in the event of illness.

Sorry for self absorbed panicky post. Sleep deprivation will do that to a girl.

37, 28 +1, #1

Londonlivvy a lot to stress about. Hopefully you get the home crap sorted ASAP and get settled and nest soon. If is any help we all have money worries I'm sure. I'm on other side of coin as am going to be only earner while DH stays at home. He will hav small income but not much and tbh we hav not really worked out the logistics, just hoping all will come together....... Daft, I know. On top of all renovation and moving stresses I cannot face discussing it! And while off work I need to pay someone else to cover me so really no income for 3 -4 months........! Part of why we needed to get out of this house and get it rented, but not looking likely for while.
We did make the decision to have a baby based on this outcome with DH being at home so none is a surprise but at a time in my life where supposed to be feeling properly like a mum and female, the role reversal is making me feel totally inadequate, never mind how DH feels! The quest for self improvement, hard work, study and running a business is all fantastic but suddenly I feel like I have got it all wrong and am going to be a horrible cold hearted mum who has to be the money watcher, whinger and bossy one...........

Oh dear. Sorry. Not good way to start day! Off to shower my worries away and get on with it!
Happy Friday all. Sorry for the self absorbed whinge.
Xx

Smorgs and Mickey - thanks for the thoughts . 99% of the time DH is sweet and thoughtful and caring and a pleasure to be around but he doesn't cope well without sleep.

If he wakes by himself then he'll be happy and chatty but on a normal day (e.g. weekday) when you have to wake him you can gauge how awake he is by what level of function he has (ranges from no speech, to shrugging of limbs, to grunting, to one syllable words to normal conversation).

He slept slightly better again last night so seems to be a bit more cheery today (phew!) whereas I slept like crap and have resorted to proper coffee this morning (naughty I know) to help keep me awake! «props eyes open with matchsticks»

In terms of helpingp out he normally does help with cooking but other chores don't register unless I specifically ask him to help (generally when I know we have visitors coming) so I think having to up his game has come as a bit of a shock to the system

Sending good vibes to everyone with work/moving/packing/pregnancy-related illness/family issues.

TFI Friday!

32, feel 62, 28+5, #1, sweaty, knackered and so in need of caffeine

Oops, perineum massage link again. Sorry, not sure what the dates were doing getting in there twice!

Mickey, could you paint it as a round rubik's cube?

Will have a proper read and catchup later, just checking in.

LMAO at LondonMrs, dates softening the baby? Oh how I wish that were true! And Beccus, matching wet patches - yep, that will be me too. Dignified, no?

Smorgs couldn't work out whether to laugh or scream in terror at nipple-tweaking midwife - can't believe she did that! but maybe it's all good prep for losing any last vestiges of personal space and dignity... I do giggle at the mental image of a circle of girls all intently squeezing to see if anything comes out.

So sorry to hear about on-going house woes, so many of you struggling :( It's just not fair adding all that on top of pregnancy.

Yomping thanks for the massage link (although I'm not sure it's really massage to be honest!!), that's the one the nice mid-wife sent me too so was going to post it up too! Are you in this bit of the country?

Loving the names ladies! We've got a long-list for each gender so far, but haven't dared try to narrow down yet to a short-list. Turns out the names we agree on are all quite -boring- classic, but I want to get something interesting in there too. DH seems more focussed on his 'comedy' names list, there's a fair number which are either rude (Fanny anyone?) or just sound ridiculous with our surname, which he's loving trying out on people.

LondonMrsS I too get in a panic when this one slows down for a day or so, it always used to be Wednesday which was quiet now more random, so don't feel bad. Movements are definitely more squirmy than kicky now, perhaps as less space?

Am off for a weekend away with friends - 3 couples, plus their toddlers (from 15 to 20 months) in what is now looking like a teeeeeeeeeeeny tiny cottage. Sadly no DH as he's got too much work on. Yikes. Not sure I'll survive this...

Hope you ladies are managing to keep cool and relax when you can.

33, 31+2, DC#1, eating more ice lollies than is perhaps legal
