Oh bigfam what a time you're having, I hope your bp comes down soon..

I have gained 2.5 stone since my first MW appointment :( I'm only 32 weeks and apparently this is the maximum you're supposed to put on in the whole pregnancy.
I must admit I'm eating more sugary stuff to keep my energy up during long days at work.
Maybe time to go on ML soon.
Anyone else has worrying weight gain?

Bigfam · 28/10/2016 20:22

Try not to worry about weight gain bumble it varies a lot from person to person. Thanks, I know it's not high at the moment so just keeping that in mind.

Lovewatchingrainfall · 28/10/2016 20:48

I was told not to worry about weight gain. With my daughter I put on 4stone ShockShockConfused. I did have a lot of water and this time round I have put on 1 pound.

BigFam how are your little ones doing now? They were ill weren't they?

goinggrey1978 · 28/10/2016 20:54

I'm not worrying about weight gain either, you'll be surprised how little time you have to eat when there's a new born around!!
I'm really pleased my fantastic friend came over today and helped me to pack my hospital bag, half is my bits and the other half is bubbles bits, there was a few bits I didn't have, which I picked up from boots earlier, so glad it's done now!!

DartmoorDoughnut · 28/10/2016 21:03

I don't know how you do it bigfam I'm beginning to struggle with one healthy toddler! Flowers

Think I put on about 3 plus stone last time around, just lost it but then managed to get pregnant, yay! Think it's about the same this time around but can't be arsed to check, it'll come off again in the end!

Bigfam · 28/10/2016 21:12

Lovewatchingrainfall Dd3 is still poorly, but has only been on the antibiotics a couple of days so expect her to start improving by tomorrow hopefully, luckily ds' abscess isn't causing him too much discomfort and hoping it stays that way til mondays appointment.
I've still got to wash all of the baby's clothes and pack her hospital bag, think mine's all done.

SolomanDaisy · 28/10/2016 22:23

bigfam, If you get a chance try and get your blood pressure checked in a week instead of two. That is exactly what happened with me, my normally low blood pressure went up to normal and two weeks was too long to wait to have it checked again. Of course what happened to me is very very rare, but still worth keeping an eye on.

I've been discharged from hospital care so I'm now able to room in with DD in the neo natal unit! It's nice to be spending the night with her.

Lovewatchingrainfall · 28/10/2016 22:32

Solomon that's great how is DD doing??

Bigfam · 28/10/2016 22:49

Thanks for the advice soloman. I'll see if the midwife can fit me in next friday, if not I'll just make a doctor appointment.
How lovely that you can room with dd now, I hope she is doing well?

Eskerina81 · 29/10/2016 00:20

Great to hear things are going well Soloman.

Hope your dd feels better soon bigfam.

Spending tonight attempting to sleep train dd before the baby arrives - please send positive thoughts, I think I'm going to need them!

Bigfam · 29/10/2016 01:32

Thanks. Good luck Eskerina81 you're very brave. I'm not even going to attempt to evict dd3 from my bed before baby arrives, she will absolutely have none of it!

Bumbleclat · 29/10/2016 02:54

Good luck Eskerina81 I hope it's going well :)
I'm wide awake worrying about DSD aged 9.
We glossed the nursery today and the fumes left me with a massive headache. Her bedroom is next door where she's currently fast asleep.
We've got her window and the window to the nursery wide open but I'm worried she's sleeping breathing all that nastiness in Shock
Just debating whether to go and wake her up and tel her to come and sleep in our room (2 rooms away) Am I being neurotic!?

Eskerina81 · 29/10/2016 03:04

She's finally gone to sleep. Fingers crossed she stays asleep for a couple of hours at least...

bumble she should be OK with the windows open, but if it's keeping you awake then definitely go & move her to your room.

Bumbleclat · 29/10/2016 03:07

Congratulations! I hope you get some sleep now esk

I'll wait for DH to get up and go to check on her, she'd be freaked if I did as I never really do. Just worried because DH has to work tomorrow so don't want to wake the whole house up because of neurosis!

Bigfam · 29/10/2016 07:41

Hope everyone managed to get some sleep in the end.
I've developed the MOST ANNOYING twitch in my thumb, it's driving me bloody nuts 😯

I really hope this baby decides to arrive during the day and my labour starts during the day, after a good nights sleep 😆 wishful thinking or what...

DartmoorDoughnut · 29/10/2016 08:26

bigfam most big pharmacies - Boots etc - and GP surgeries have BP monitors that you can use to check your BP yourself, no appt necessary obvs and might be a good idea to keep an eye on it if you can?

DartmoorDoughnut · 29/10/2016 08:27

My back started hurting yesterday - continuous not contractions or anything! - so glad I have a massage booked next week, my first one since I was pregnant with DS over 2 years ago now!

Bumbleclat · 29/10/2016 08:42

Oh dartmoor I had one a few days ago, it was sheer bliss and I felt so much better after it- enjoy!

Nojo82 · 29/10/2016 08:55

Oh i really want a massage now.. back and legs are killing me..

Anyone else dreading the clocks going back tonight, i really dont need an extra hour at night..

StubbleTurnips · 29/10/2016 09:27

It's the cramp killing me, 4 times in the space of 3 hours last night in my calf Halloween Angry

KitKat1985 · 29/10/2016 09:34

Bumbleclat I've put on over two and a half stone now (35 weeks), and suspect it will be nearer 3 stone by the time I'm done. It was the same last pregnancy. I did have to go on weight watchers 6 months post-baby to shift some of it last time, but I did lose about half of it just through giving birth / general lack of time in the intervening months. Like you I'm craving sweet things all the time and I'm just going to try and relax and enjoy it, and worry about the weight gain next year.

Bigfam sorry you are having such a rough time of it. Hopefully your other DCs feel better soon.

DartmoorDoughnut a massage sounds awesome. Enjoy!

Anyone heard from Queen?

Got my 36 week appointment and midwifery unit tour tomorrow. I need to remember to ask all the questions I've been wondering!

OP posts:
Bumbleclat · 29/10/2016 09:34

nojo yes I'm having the same thing, are you able to bend your foot up towards your knee that helps me stop it in its tracks a lot.

DartmoorDoughnut · 29/10/2016 10:00

I'm really looking forward to it, think the lady is a bit woo but her massages are meant to be fab, the one I had when pregnant with DS was rubbish, basically stroking me! I want my knots gone!

Bigfam · 29/10/2016 10:59

Also been thinking about queen hoping she's ok.

Oh no the clocks 😦

Lovewatchingrainfall · 29/10/2016 11:21

Totally dreading the clock changes. My DD ATM seems to think 4:30 is a very good wake up as well as waking in the night. So not looking forward to a 3:30 instead. Especially as we live in a flat and downstairs like to moan about the little things. So might end up backing a cake tomorrow morning instead
