Feb 2015 - Creeping closer towards the third trimester!

STATS

Yes to both Geeky and Littlemiss! I've had that heaviness while walking for a good while now. My walks often end up in BH our feeling faint so I'm reluctant these days to do any exercise!
As for the full feeling after dinner, it's really uncomfortable. I can't manage to finish my dinner these days as I nearly want to lie down afterwards!
The night time toilet trips have restarted too. It's going to be a long three months!!

Hanflan glad your feeling ok and things are good with lo.

Walking is such a chore now. I hate that I can't just stroll into town. I ache, I get pains and I'm also quite swollen downstairs which gets really uncomfy.

I'm starving all the time but then over do it on the food and end up uncomfortable with it repeating all night.

11 weeks left!

Oh and to top it (tmi alert) I'm leaking wee.

Pregnancy is so glamorous, isn't it!? lol x

Donkir I am wondering if I am leaking too but I am using panty liner and just pretending it is discharge!

We go on holiday in 3 weeks on top of the walking around the parks all day according to trip advisor if we didn't upgrade our lodge they are way out of village center and its a long walk....It is £50 to upgrade I may see if weccan upgrade once there as I fear I will take an age to get anywhere.

Attempting work today but yesterday was first day I didn't have a mega nap (just a 20 min one) and I feel so tired and I am still lying in bed!

Day off for me today, got to wait in for a delibery! Don't mind too much as it is baby things!

I wish my work colleagues would kindly stop telling I look pale. THANKS. It can't be helped, I would rather not give myself skin cancer by going on a sunbed, what am I meant to do?! Hate the fact that pale is seen as unhealthy these days.
I did have my 28wk blood test this morning though, maybe I am looking extra pale today?! haha

donkir are you positive it's wee? Sounds grim but give it a good sniff, you want to be sure it's not amniotic fluid! :)

Hanflan I've been sniffing lots and googling on how to tell the difference not that it's been much help. Baby still very active and no unusual pains as of yet.

Has anyone else's blood pressure gone up over the course of pregnancy? MW seemed not to be worried (I have steadily gone from 108/64 at my first appointment to 123/85 at my 28 week appointment today) but I was just wondering if this is normal? Is it due to weight gain?

The wretched MW wanted me to get on the scales until I nearly burst into tears - I haven't been on scales for months and the last time I did I was horrified and it ruined the entire week! I'm still in my "standard" size but adapted for maternity wear in the last week or so but still, I was previously so careful about weight gain that the whole thing is really upsetting!

lawyered Yes it's normal! Mine has gone up a bit, it's to do with all the extra blood volume and your heart having to work extra hard. As long as it's still within healthy range and mw isn't concerned, then it's fine :)

Lawyer, your supposed to put on weight whilst pregnant try not to worry about it. Can she weight you without telling you what your weight is so she can do her checks and you don't feel too stressed about it?

Feeling much better today hurrah!!!!

Donkir and Memphis, I also have a slight leakage problem. Though in my case it's discharge. At my 20 week scan I mentioned to them that I had an increased amount of discharge and they sent me to A&E to be checked out. They said they would get in touch if it was an infection.. thankfully I heard nothing since but I do sometimes wonder what is normal and what is not. I've been wearing a panty liner since week 16 nearly. It does worry me at times as (TMI ALERT) it comes out like a slight gush like a period.
Nothing straight forward about being preggers!!

BoNk that is what mine is like i have had +++protein in urine for over 4 weeks now but having sent a sampecto the lan they have said it isn't an infection and with the white blood count being high too but again nothing, back friday for more blood tests...oh joy.

ManGed work today just, won't be going again now until saturday which is good as it has taken it out of me!

Dh is home tonight, I used to love cooking but have no inspiration anymore its so annoying.

Blank not bonk....... As I said it has been a long day

Hooray, after the haematology consultant overrunning by TWO hours we've found out that all my bloods went down to normal and I can cancel the MRI . Now she's telling me that the back pain is normal in pregnancy....erhm that's what I've been saying all along. I guess better have more tests than less...

That's great news! :)

Hi all, hope everyone's ok

Have spent a few days by the coast in Dorset, in the drizzle- many cream teas, chilling out by log fires, and a nice preggo massage (no weird hole for the bump, just propping up sideways on one of those long pillows )

Think the baby's had some kind of growth spurt too - feels like I've done about 5000 sit ups and breathing is a bit of a struggle!

sand that is great news!

blank ...growth spurt brought on by a diet of clotted cream?"

Haha, sprung! I had 4 scones in 2 days

i personally would have eaten more.....you have a baby to feed up

Oh joy of joys the antibiotics I was on the other week have given me thrush. So now more lotions and potions. Roll on feb.

I do like to read this thread and feel normal!! I have to say I've been very lucky through this pregnancy but I think this last trimester is going to throw in some curve balls!
All I want to do is be at home now. I enjoy my work but I feel tired and just want to nest! Is it too early to nest??

Oh donkir! It seems so many are getting one thing after another!

Dh home, ds in bed, bra is off and horlicks being made!

Seeing my friend with a baby tomorrow and my other one with her new born friday, she only had a baby a year ago and keeps everything so I have no idea what to buy her as a gift for him!

Ha ha! I'm with you there on the joyous relief of removing my bra every evening! Such a good feeling!
