Woohoo

22+3

smiling that's the same as DH and I, just trying to make the most of this time we have left just the two of us. After 7 years together it will be strange sharing our space and time with someone else.

My reflux seems to be out of control again. Last night I almost vomited and chocked in my sleep. Thankfully I had only been asleep for an hour and wasn't deeply asleep. I can feel it building up again so I wil be spending the night upright.
I can't believe how tired I am its not even 10pm!

Choked

Oh dear little, that is scary!

My mother's day was OK. We went to wagamama for lunch and DD was actually lovely most of the day...

little I found my heartburn came and went a lot from 34 weeks, I'd go days without any problems and think it was finally gone then it would come back, I think it peaked at 36 weeks when I couldn't lie down at all for about 4 nights then it disappeared, since beanie dropped I rarely have any problems.

Now I just have pelvic pain, hip pain and horrible lower back pains such an improvement

tiny sounds like you had a nice day

My heartburn comes and goes a lot too. Today it's been almost continuous but other days I don't have it at all. It's very tedious!

Glad Mother's Day was ok for you all. I had a lovely bunch of flowers and some homemade cards which was nice :)

34+3

My heartburn is still here. I have been sleeping upright from around 28 weeks & feel shattered permanently.

Mother's Day was OK. My DS made me a handwritten card... but I think it's because DH forgot to buy one for me

Glad that everyone else is OK.

34+1

This cough isn't going away even after 5 days of antibiotics.
Ahrgh
Got a GP appointment for Wednesday morning. I need it gone!!!

And with each coughing fit I wee myself... Wearing proper incontinence pads now...

Pregnancy is glamorous, I love the glow... Bleargh

36+2

Hopefully the dr can give you something tiny

I've started sneezing and it bloody hurts, it feels like the baby is going to fall out.

I'm very proud of the fact that I haven't weed myself once but as DP pointed out I haven't given birth and ruined my pelvic floor yet I'm sure I love him for a reason

Smiling, I didn't give birth that way, but I was at 9cm for 6 hours, so I guess that ruined things a bit too much...

Babiecakes that is brilliant weight gain!

Glad you are feeling a bit better smiling. I have found this pregnancy I have been very emotional for the last few weeks and switch between rage and tears quite quickly. Hoping it is hormones for me rather than a personality transplant.

hope you get better soon tiny.

Babiecakes - that is impressive weight gain for dd. She is so cute in the photos.

Had a growth scan today. ds is a whopping 6lb 1 oz. Considering dd was born 6 lb 4 oz, I have a feeling he will be quite a bit bigger unless he arrives very quickly. Got the diabetic stuff tomorrow will be interesting to see what they say. My blood glucose has been much easier to control and I spent the weekend seeing what I could get away with which was fun. Now I feel I should get back to eating healthily again but after weeks of being told I shouldn't eat too much sugar I now just want sugar and I have been eating worse than I did before I got the gd diagnosis.

babies so nice to gear Sarah is doing well, I hope you manage to get signed off today. Your GP sounds awful you had a baby 12 days ago! There is no need to talk to anyone about their weight so soon post-natally ever mind having just had a C-section and hospital advising we to take it seriously.
I'm getting really cross about this obsession about BMI the NHS has, I know weight is important and can affect your health but at the moment they seem to be using it as an excuse to ignore health complaints to blame everything on BMI. You could almost think it was a cost cutting excersise.

I've had a weird thing with my heart since my first pregnancy where it will suddenly start pumping hard. I've tried to speak to Drs about it but I've been repeatedly patronised to its emotional, implying its panic attacks. Despite the fact 90% of the time it happens just as I fall asleep and I'm competel relaxed.

That was nice to hear...and...never to ever....advising her....

Don't get me started on the NHS and their obsession with BMI

My lovely midwife (who I saw the first 3 times then she went off sick but is thankfully back now) has asked me to write a letter once Beanie is here to explain how unsupported I've felt because of the rules regarding BMI and how their absolute refusal to allow me to give birth in the midwife led unit (its like a hotel, which is in the hospital right next door to the labour ward so quick access to emergency treatment if needed) meant that I was pushed into choosing a home birth as legally they could only advise against it not refuse a home birth, they can however refuse to allow me entry to the MLU.

It's not strictly true as I've always wanted a home birth but she's concerned that people who have a higher BMI than me or other health issues are being forced into choosing HB rather than the labour ward when they would prefer MLU and that it will eventually lead to problems.

I'm apparently articulate and willing to stand up for myself so just the expectant mum they've been waiting for to help the sensible midwives make their point! I think what she was diplomatically saying was that I'm gobby and stubborn

Babie it's great that Sarah is gaining weight. You must be so happy :)

I'm also suffering with all of this blooming BMI business. I absolutely hate it! Midwife has no real advice on how to deal with my consultant (who bangs on about my weight) but said that I must accept that I am putting my baby at risk for having a high BMI

Oh and I'm ordering my bugaboo today

london I'd be telling your midwife to bugger off if she said that to me

What bugaboo have you decided on and what colour?

I've got a hauk condour all in one pushchair in black and green and a mountain buggy for the stables.

Smiling I can't say that to my midwife! I guess I do feel a sense of shame / blame as I just can't stop snacking

I'm getting the Cameleon3 and DS said it MUST be red (he had a red buggy when he was a baby). He even wanted Bunny to have the exact same comforter as his. It was a struggle finding it online but we managed it in the end. He said that Bunny must have the same stuff as him :)

Ahhhhhh that's sweet of your DS

Ok if you can't manage to tell her to bugger off how about perfecting an icy stare and every time she mentions BMI fix her with it.

My boss is a health fanatic she was a size 8 when she had eldest and ended up with pre eclampsia and a prem baby and a size 10 when she had youngest and had GD and he got stuck on the way out so she nearly had an ELCS.

My mum was a size 10 when she had me, my shoulders got stuck and she bled out.

My Aunt was a size 10 with both my cousins and she had pre eclampsia both times.

All people who the NHS would have us believe are the ideal weight and all had problems, I on the other hand have a high BMI but have had a text book pregnancy so far (obviously don't know about birth yet).

Being a size 8/10/12 does not mean you are healthier than someone who is a 14/16/18/20 it just means you are smaller
