New december 2016 thread! Will there be arrivals on this thread I wonder?

[Bigfam]

We maxed out our last thread before starting a new one.
I'm not savvy like kitkat so can't post our list either! Hopefully there will be some ba's before this thread is completed.

happydays I went to a physio who gave me supports last time - worth talking to someone to see what can be done.

Feels like in this pregnancy with minor symptoms I'm trying to 'collect them all' (SPD; heartburn; swollen hands and feet; round ligament pain; constipation; piles; hair loss; acne; reduced foetal movements; itching; Braxton Hicks; nausea and food aversions; swollen erm.. undercarriage; insomnia; raging hunger/thirst; hormonal anger or anxiety (or both together); peeing every 5 minutes; bleeding from gums, nose, elsewhere...) no carpal tunnel yet thank goodness, but I am just thankful that nothing worse is going on.

Oh and dizziness and low blood pressure, as well as iron deficiency

grey i do tend to get itchy feet a lot, the top of them. I have had an itch on bump too however.. but not a huge amount..

Second to the carpel tunnel. Woke with it yesterday..

Trying to convince my mum to go to ikea with me later. Really need a wardrobe for babys clothes.. dont want to go on my own, its an hour away..

Nojo82, me too not a huge amount and i thought i was eczema too, until i had itching on the soles of my feet yesterday and the day before, just glad it's being monitored, my skin is pretty dry though it's central heating just dries it out too much!
yes carpal tunnel is just uncomfortable!!
you want to try and just Ikea is just massive, you want to try and just go to the bits you need to and skip out the bits you don't need, plus you'll need the loo plenty after all that walking about!!

Haha oriana we are all collectors battling it out for 'the full set' 😆
(Reminds me I need to order dd1 a pokemon game for her nintendo ds)

It's nice to talk to people who sympathise Bigfam! Don't like to moan at 'normal' people, who get 'Oh, fine!' when they ask how I am!

Maybe we need a pregnancy symptom bingo card

I'm nowhere near getting a full house as thankfully - just the SPD, heartburn, raised pulse rate and constipation.

to all those suffering.

Ah now I haven't got the raised pulse rate yet Stubble.

Maybe next time a colleague asks me how it's going I'll say 'Ooh, me piles are itching something terrible today, the constipation's really not helping there!' and see what happens.

So after a frighteningly quick labour, I had a baby boy this morning! He's doing well but because he was only 34 weeks he's gone to NICU. Im a bit shell-shocked still.

Oh wow congratulations apple I remember reading your post that you'd been having on off pains and thought it would go on another month!!
Take care of yourself, I'm sure he'll be on the ward with you in no time

Wow apple congratulations!! Hope all is well with you both xx

AppleMagic, wow congratulations!! how much did he weigh??

Congratulations Apple! Hope you're both doing okay x

Congratulations apple ! Hope he is doing well and joins you very soon. No wonder you are shell shocked but hope you make a speedy recovery too and enjoy some newborn cuddles with your wee man very soon!

Congratulations apple

He was 5lbs 10 so a good weight. He's had lowish blood sugars but otherwise doing well. Just has a glucose drip in and in a hot cot, no other support needed at the moment.

apple congratulations!!! Hope he is back on the ward with you in no time. You were so convinced you were going to go another month too!

oriana I'll join you on the symptom bingo: I've got HG (so still puking every day and have been for 31 weeks ), swollen hands and feet, carpal tunnel, BH, insomnia and heartburn - yippppeeee. Definitely have not "bloomed" in pregnancy!

He's a great weight for 34 weeks! Good to know he is not needing any other support. Wee trooper! Hard for them to manage their sugars when they are early, very common, hope it settles soon! Well done

Congratulations AppleMagic! Hope he is well enough to come out off the NICU soon. xxx

Thanks all. I feel a bit in disbelief (stress of nearly not making it to delivery suite aside, he was a bit of a sneeze birth).

Congratulations apple, what a good weight he is :) so good to hear he's doing ok as well x

Congrats apple!

Congratulations apple, that's such a brilliant weight for 34 weeks. I hope it all goes well. Are you able to stay in the NICU?

Congrats Apple, how amazing, understand why you must be a nut shell shocked! Good to hear you're both well.

*bit not nut!
