Posey fingers crossed it's moved up for you come the 29th, most of them do by 32 weeks but yes it is a worry nevertheless. No bleeding's a good sign Smile

Anyone else experienced hiccups in their vagina yet lol? Never thought I would utter those words to my DP 🙊

RattyCatty · 18/12/2015 18:00

clara yes it is an outie! Not cool at all haha!

whoknew I get the baby's hiccups in my vagina & occasionally bottom!

Sighing · 19/12/2015 01:14

Not hiccups. But weird sensations when i get a ?kick? Or ?punch? to what feels like the other side of the cervix.

NorthernChinchilla · 19/12/2015 07:22

I'll a) take a better bump pic and b) post it using my laptop- for some reason it's posting it sideways if I use my phone!
Been a hellish couple of weeks at work, utterly shattered.
We had visitors last night- not ideal but they live abroad so we only see them twice a year. Had a slight nightmare when I found DP had left the prawns for the dinner I was cooking in the freezer, but I just had a veggie version of that course. Everyone got veh' veh' drunk too.

I get that sighing, and if feels like the kick is actually inside your bum/vagina. But I think you win 'sentence of the year' whoknew Grin

haquoi123 · 19/12/2015 09:46

Ooh, vagina hiccups, I haven't had those yet! I think baby's floating too high still, but it sounds fun!

33 weeks today!

oooh bubs has moved a bit. I think only so head and body on left of my belly not right - but at least I now know that he/she knows movement is an option. Will make a change to have head in spleen rather than liver :)

madsaz76 · 19/12/2015 21:23

Bugger. Lasted half an hour and normal service resumed. Confused

Mawsymoo · 19/12/2015 22:55

All of a sudden I feel heavily pregnant. I have aches and pains in my bump andthe Braxton hicks have really upped a notch. As a result I've had almost no sleep the last couple of nights. I'm uncomfortable. It's given me the push I needed though and I washed my newborn clothes today so hopefully I'll actually get around to finishing my hospital bag tomorrow. All the sheets and blankets and other baby items are still in my parents attic and we haven't bought anything for the baby to sleep in but it's a start! 35 weeks on Monday Shock

jellypi3 · 20/12/2015 09:17

Pretty sure I suffered vaginally hiccups last night.

Anyone else finding sleep a thing of the past? It's driving me mad. 3.5 days till mat leave!!!

Stepawayfromthezebras · 20/12/2015 09:26

jelly I was awake from 2 - 6.30 this morning, I've never had insomnia before so it's very annoying. But if baby wants to Riverdance, baby's going to Riverdance!

haquoi123 · 20/12/2015 09:38

Riverdancing baby Grin

mad my baby went transverse yesterday - my bump was square and painful. It was like he was trying to turn breech but changed his mind and eventually went back the other way. Strange baby.

So had enough of being diabetic now. I wander round the supermarket whimpering at all the lovely food that I can't eat, feel like I'm seriously missing out! I really want a piece of toblerone right now but BG is too high after bland porridge.

madsaz76 · 20/12/2015 11:17

Flowers it was my biggest fear - not easy for anyone but at Christmas so much lovely temptation. You are doing brilliantly

I know it's too soon but I'm pretty convinced this child intends to remain breach.

MaisieDotes · 20/12/2015 12:28

Mine is too madsaz

I'm terrified of the ECV Sad

madsaz76 · 20/12/2015 15:35

I'm not terrified of ECV - just don't think its all that successful.

Whoknewitcouldbeso · 20/12/2015 19:44

I have just done something so stupid and I'm so angry with myself.

I was trying to climb onto the kitchen work surface to look on top of the kitchen cupboards. Looked at the wooden chair but no, decided to use my sons tiny plastic chair and yes it broke and yes I hit the floor with a thump. Luckily I fell on my bum, but it was with a hefty thud. I know if I ring the labour ward they will ask me to come in to be on the safe side and I really don't want to do that. If I fell on my stomach I obviously would go straight in but from what I can read online falling on your backside is not that bad. The baby is moving ok.

I'm just going to have to monitor things and if I wipe blood go straight in. I just can't believe I was so fucking irresponsible and wreckless 😖😖

haquoi123 · 20/12/2015 19:50

whoknew how're you feeling in yourself? Is your bum/back Ok? Try not to beat yourself up, it's hard to slow down (specially if you're used to wrestling sheep) and I'm sure all of us have done stuff we usually do that turn out to be a bad idea. Is it worth ringing the midwives rather than labour ward (there's a difference for me, I don't know if there's one for you) just to see what to look out for? Glad to hear baby's moving well Flowers

OP posts:
jellypi3 · 20/12/2015 19:55

I'd ring them anyway, if baby is moving fine they might not want you to come in. I fell down the stairs a few weeks back and they said so long as baby is moving it should be ok.

Hope your ok tho.

Whoknewitcouldbeso · 20/12/2015 20:20

I'm really upset and angry with myself, and tearful. I just can't believe I was so fucking stupid. I know I'm going to have the most terrible night tonight worrying, and I'm hardly sleeping at the moment anyway so it's the last thing I need right now.

jellypi3 · 20/12/2015 20:37

Try not to best yourself up too much. I couldn't stop crying when I fell down the stairs, the fear was mental. But honestly baby is so well protected in there.

MaisieDotes · 20/12/2015 20:47

Do you consider it to be generally a safe procedure mad, or would you say it depends on who is doing it?

i have midwife appt on Tues when I'll be 34+6 so I guess I'll find out then what the next steps are.

NorthernChinchilla · 20/12/2015 21:57

I know it's hard who but don't be angry with yourself. You didn't go joyriding, or neck a bottle of vodka, or juggle knives- you chose the wrong chair to look at something in the kitchen. That's what it comes down to, an accident, not being reckless.

Had an interesting day after the other night's shenanigans. As mentioned, people got exceptionally drunk on Friday night. DP was massively hungover yesterday (and not so great today), but we've still had a good weekend; I've got the school application done, wrapped presents, DP took DS to the park, etc.
However (and don't read if you boak easily) I went to do the washing today. Small pile of laundry in the basket still needed putting away, on the stool at the end of the bed. Went to do it, and it was sopping wet and smelly. Smells of pee. Go into DS's room to pick up a stray t-shirt on the pyong chair in there. Sopping wet. Smells horribly of pee.

So it looks like one of our guests (technically it could have been DP) was so drunk they went into DS's room whilst he slept, pee'd all over the chair, came into our room whilst I was sleeping, sat in the washbasket and pee'd all over our clean washing, then wandered off.

I am surprisingly calm, but have been doing a lot of washing. They're a married couple in their mid-30s by the way, not bloody teens!!

Merry Xmas!

clumsypots · 20/12/2015 22:16

who hope you are ok and not too badly bruised and shaken.

northern that's disgusting! I would be obsessively cleaning everything too and getting the culprit to iron all the clothes I had to rewash!

madsaz76 · 20/12/2015 22:37

who it only takes a split second to make a decision that you wouldn't normally make. Baby is well protected and you will probably be ok - give yourself a little break.

northern I would be on the warpath. Beyond the war path, and if DH had been potentially pissed enough to be the culprit he'd probably suffer greatly. I am not managing anger well right now!

maisie AFAIK it is a safe procedure but they do monitor and suggest you have your bag just in case. It can be effective too but I am told it feels very weird and doesn't always work. I have all sorts of control freak issues at the best of time - I wish Bubs would just behave but in reality have no right to expect it. Depending on your personality type you can read the royal college of obstetricians green top guides to this - they have patient information too. They have the grade of evidence etc.
