September crew - baby bumps are appearing and we're emerging as team blue, pink or yellow! Thread 8 :)

[Treaclepie19]

Stats sheet here

Loved my 3d scan it was amazing seeing our little man on the screen.

Miss ours also has both legs and arms over his head at the moment and is bum down. It looked funny on the screen - hope he sorts himself out by my growth scan in 6 weeks!

Anyone who's in number 2 and first one was breach, at how many weeks should I worry?

Joined this thread about 3 months ago and promptly fell off. Hope everyone is well, going to attempt to catch up and add onto the stats sheet (are we still ok to add ourselves?)

Marjory Stewart must of is are on the fb private thread now.

Only certain people can add though.

maths my first was not breech, but I'm fairly sure they don't worry till around 36 weeks. And they can still turn naturally after that. My SIL's first was breech at 36 weeks, transverse at 38 and then shot out head first at 40+5. I think there is a website called "spinning babies" with exercises to encourage baby into a good position. Apparently in the olden days they recommended scrubbing floors and skirting boards on hands and knees for this. DO you want to come and do mine? The previous owners appear not to have done them in over 7 years.

Exxitingtimesahead would it be possible to get added to the Facebook group?

If you pm me I will add you

That explains why it's so quiet on here! I never got round to joining.

Ah excellent, thanks Exciting

Snowflake will attempt to PM you now!

Morning all
Quietly just getting on with things on this side, 26 weeks at the moment
ditzzy Was the anti-D injection okay? I am TERRIFIED. Maybe not as terrified as actually giving birth but still scared, only just realised it's in your bum from your post!!! Do you have to stand up for them to do that? I've asked DP to come along as I'm such a wimp. It's also the same appt I need to have bloods taken and then the next one will be a vaccination for whooping cough ouch.

Otherwise, all well! Wishing the sun would stay out for the weekend...

Oh can I please be added to the FBK group?

squiish I think it depends on your trust for the anti-d.. I was worried it would be in my bum but it was in my arm instead, not keen on the whooping cough jab (which I really must book) which I guess will also be in the arm?

Anti-D was fine squiish - load of blood tests immediately before and then given a choice of lying on my side on a bed with a bit of bum on display or perching on the edge of the chair. I lay on the bed, the injection stung a little as its 2 ml of liquid they have to get in! Then they told me to hang around for ten minutes to make sure there was no reaction (very rare apparently and no effect at all on me) so I snoozed on the bed for that time and then was packed off home. No side effects and by the end of the day is forgotten I'd even had it... All straightforward

Cross posts mrsdos! It might depend on the patient too I guess - some people probably have more bum to lose it in than others!! She had plenty to aim for on me.

maths they told me by about 35/36 weeks they know whether they will likely to continue to be breech or not, and start discussions about options then. TBH, if he stays breech, especially in this weird legs and arms above head position, I have no issue with considering a c section.

If he turns by himself then that's fine, but I have no interest in pursuing an ECV (manual turn) at this point.

I've also got my whooping cough jab in 2 weeks; here it's a 4 in 1 so also covers for tetanus, diptheria and something else, so I'm expecting the needle to be MASSIVE. They also recommend that any other primary care givers / people who are in close proximity to the new baby for extended periods are given it, so sending DH off to the Drs too.

The Facebook group is very busy, there are always people posting all times of the day. I love it as it's easier for me to go on the app on my phone! So defo join if you haven't already.

I have my Whooping cough jab next week - anyone had it yet? Is it just like the flu jab in terms of uncomfortableness (I didn't have any pain with that jab)?

Glad everyone is ok. I'm 28+1 today - can't believe I'm in the third trimester!!

Ugh, elephant feet

How do I join the Facebook group and is it a secret one?

Deladion I'm hearing ya!

MisssM I hadn't heard that, think I'll send DW to get the jab too, we deal with lots of nasty people at work and why should I be the only one to take the pain?!

Oh god I just got on the scales, bad error on my side. I'm 200lbs so I've put a grand total of 2 1/2 stone on so far (28+2). I'm terrified at what weight I'm going to be at the end of this!

Been aimlessly googling is it safe to loose weight in third trimester (it's not) so I'm not going to start actually eat healthier to reduce the weight I'm going to put on!

*I'm going to

Purple, the group is secret (thank goodness, there's all sorts of discussions on there!), and if you pm me I can add you x

Ugh, sorry in advance.
Anyone else having diarrhoea? Or is it just something I've eaten :(

Hare I slept with my feet on a pillow and they've gone down yay

Wow, fell off big style! Checking back in.
Glad to hear your feet have gone down Deladion.
Hare I'm assuming MissSmilla's advice is based on being in the U.S., not sure your dw will be able to get jabs here unfortunately.
