Dec 2014 Thread #5 - Battered and bruised we limp through the second trimester

[SassehMonsta]

Here we go again, the thrills & spills of leaky boobs, and feeling baby move for the first time - Lets go!

Stats Link!

Catface, I've got loads too. Mines quite thick though, doesn't smell and is normal discharge colour, it's just like snot (the joys of being pg)

I had to use Tena Lady at the beginning, there was SO MUCH wee, and I smelled like an old lady. It was horrendous. Luckily that's finished now but having to move onto liners for the D-word (makes me feel a bit sick atm, how pathetic).

While I'm on the subject of downstairs activity, my libido has gone up dramatically, but I don't enjoy sex at all (never really have but this is a step further). I think I'm still paranoid about causing a miscarriage, so come and tell me how ridiculous I'm being, please.

No, sex wont harm baby in the slightest - truely!! But it hurt my pelvis & side of my bump yesterday! First time we've dtd since about week 12, dh was gagging for it.

Bump is pretty big at times, im enjoying wearing dresses over jeans to show off bump and.hide legs. Got another new.bra yesterday with plenty more support after a lovely fitting at Bravissimo.

Woke up in middle of the night with crampy/stabby stomach pain on one side of the bump. Dont remember much else but struggled to get back to sleep after a loo trip. No spotting or anything mind you. Also lightheaded before bed but think that was dehydration/low sugar levels.

Planning to make cake today at my mums then go out for lunch with a friend, then purchase a dishwasher to cheer dh up. Hes still "poorly" - yesterday he had a bad cold and couldnt sleep due to being unable to brathe properlt but today hes just tired. Boring! Yestersday I stayed home and looked.after him, so today he can manage on his own..

17 weeks tomorrow!!

I physically can't have sex at the moment hubby just can't enter me think my brains in over protect mode.

I really need to stop my brain freaking out. I quite like sex. But no sex is killing us!

Discharge is normal. I have loads of it too.

Hubby doesn't seem to want sex. Don't know if it's just hot and the weather but still feeling a bit like 'don't you want me' we've only done it a handful of times since we found out and out sex life wasn't exactly regular as it was. Hmmmm

Discharge tho. Been 'suffering' for a good few weeks now, kept thinking id wet myself, kept changing my pants that I ran out of them weren't washing them quick enough. Put a panty liner in every day now. Doesn't smell, isn't untoward just annoying!!

Hello all, just marking my place. Couldn't find this thread on the ante-natal board, I had to go to the link on thread #4. Must be having a dippy day.

I've started to feel loads of movement all of a sudden, it's so nice. It feels like ages since hearing the heartbeat so it's quite reassuring.

Moving house this weekend so I'm attempting to pack today, seem to have accumulated loads of crap again.

Sympathy with the knicker-wetting. My pelvic floor is defo weaker this time around. Must remember to do exercises!

18+2

It's crap isn't it? Even if I have warning of imminent sneeze arrival and tighten said muscles in anticipation, if it's a big sneeze wee always comes out. I can hold my pf muscles for a good 10 seconds though so not sure what else I can do :( My mate had terrible problems after a terrible tear and she reckons Pilates helped too, anybody else given that a go?

I did Pilates for a bit pre pregnancy but stopped due to my slipped disc causing too many problems, but I quite liked it. Think you do notice improvements if you do it.

Just pulled out of my friend's hen weekend (3 hour train journey away) and feel terrible about it. :( I know I would just be miserable and feel rubbish and don't fancy that 3 hours from home but still feel so guilty about it. :(

I have a Bryan Adams concert November 18 in Sheffield. No way I can go is there?? It's a 5 hour drive

It's up to you Drews, we went to Wales (also 5 hour drive away) and it was fine ignore the fact that I started getting contractions there .

Just take your notes, hospital bag and car seat just incase

Drew, why not? I took my sister to see Robbie Williams when she was 8 and a half months pregnant at Wembley which is a good couple of hours from home plus the getting out took a good hour and half. I would go.

Drew it's quite a way off yet so why don't you see how you feel closer to the time?

I am going to see Deacon Blue when I'm 36 weeks pregnant. Admittedly only 25 minutes from home abs even less from the hospital....

Well dh and I dtd last night and the bump was fully awake. Major shape shifting afterwards and dh got to feel it. Very cool.

Discharge is just horrible, it's a moment were you think something serious might be happening and then you just realise that, nope, I've just soggy pants now. Better soggy pants than something serious but still!

Happy Friday all, I'm absolutely roasted in work today!

17+4

I'm not at work thankfully, but still have to bus/train halfway across the damn county to visit someone and it's TOO FUCKING HOT.

I'm off to the big reunion boy band tour on 22nd October. Planning on being heavily pregnant with twins hubby says I'll have to sell ticket. Screw that!!!! Lol it's only 40 minutes drive away on Bournemouth in sure it'll be fine :)

Eee Ladylel who is playing on that tour? I went to see Boyzone in November and it was brilliant

Really need any tips for what I can do about my hay fever. Anyone else suffering at the moment? Midwife said I can't take antihistamine which I'd normally just get from Boots.
Any advice what I can take?

DH's cousin is also pg and suggested I take a dose of children's piriton. She said she has and its been helping a bit, not sure how recommended it is though

Hi all, phone dropped and smashed so haven't been able to post. Hope you are all doing okay.

Caught up quickly there, lots of posts made me giggle.

I, too, am going to have to go down the panty liner route, alas. Pelvic floor not what it used to be after baby no. 1. Need to get better at my exercises...

Oh, and, best tip for maternity clothes is asos. Is BRILLIANT and cheap. The only other place with anything acceptable I have found is papas and mamas and that is SO expensive.

I had my private scan today and found out we are having a boy!!!!! Absoloutely over the moon and my boyfriend actually clapped!! Bought a few blue babygrows first things Ive allowed myself to buy and went for a nosey at prams with my mum, 17 weeks tomorrow and looking forward to the weekend off, hope everyone else is doing well xx

I've got a few bits from asos but I'm really liking boohoo.
I've bought a couple of maxi skirts, oversized t shirts and kimonos. Really cheap and even though they're not maternity they should last most of it.

peace The tour will include Five, Blue and 991 from series one as well as A1, 3T and, the recently formed, 5th Story from series two. (Copy and paste) a1 my first love complete saddo but waiting for so long to see them. Don't want no babies stopping that hehehe
