Glad things are as good as they can be @ButterflyFree

I also recommend the bio oil - it's not too greasy and seems to do a good job

Soooo tired today, hopefully it's a one off and I'm not going to be knackered for the next 3 months! WC jab tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to.

Sent DH to a mum2mum sale on his own, he got a few clothes - if we do have a girl it will have a very boyish wardrobe!

lol that's the sort of thing I buy for dd @Seahawk80. DH is obsessed with sharks and I love dinosaurs (as does dh). I'm notorious for buying her boys clothes because I prefer them 😂

Checking in- been ages since I last posted! All is well- have pelvic girdle pain as expected but have found a mat belt that is comfy and the hospital physio issued tubigrip and doing much better. Perinatal psychiatrist on Friday due to PN depression last time- don't know what to expect so can anyone fill me in?

Ha ha @glitterglitters - the Tshirt is already earmarked as a hand me down for my niece / nephew due in oct as BIL obsessed with sharks!

@glitterglitters it's common for skin in pg to get more sensitive so maybe your usual soap/cream just isn't working for you anymore? Have you tried using a natural soap and moisturising with just raw organic coconut oil or olive oil or similar? The blend *bluebird describes sounds nice. For olive oil and the more greasy ones - if they are tooo greasy it's nice to rub them on whilst you're still wet out of the shower and then 'dry' them off, still very moisturising.

@mynameisntLinda haha cute Glad to hear you like the chicco. Would your pram cot thing go in a generic moses basket stand if you wanted it more up & out of the way?

@ButterflyFree I thought they said she urgently needed one a few days ago? I guess that's good news in a way if she's managing still and baby has more time to get strong. Hope she's okay and getting all she needs xx

Hope everyone is well. Just got back from a nice relaxing antenatal yoga session. Aquanatal tomorrow, pilates Thurday. Not looking forward to the gap in classes over Easter!!

Ive been absent for a few days. No baby related updates from me apart from her kicks are getting stronger which is lovely.

I am towards the end of a cough and cold that started about Thursday/Friday last week. I took yesterday off work as I didn't sleep well at all Sunday night. Going to office today as I feel physically able to (no more feverish symptoms) but still coughing and snivelling. If it gets too much then I will just catch a train back home.

I have been off sick more times in the last 6 months than I ever have in the 10yrs preceeding that ! I try to avoid going to the office when a cold is still raw as I don't want others catching it and I think my employer is flexible enough but I still don't want to feel like I am taking advantage (even I am not but still).

Morning ladies!

@Notyetthere so sorry to hear you've been poorly, hugs! Take care of yourself and don't feel guilty!! Having a bad cold is rubbish at the best of times let alone when you can't dose yourself up!

Kicks getting even stronger here too! Had a first definite boogie along to music yesterday (to I'm a Soul Man) haha. Baby bopping away and when other songs came on, nothing; DP put that back on and happily bopping away again

Sorry your feeling rough not. I haven't actually had a day off sick since being pregnant, have definately felt like taking one though!

I was woken up early this morning at 4am by such vigorous movement by baby I thought it was going to jump out of my stomach, went on for a good 10 minutes as well. After that I couldnt get back to sleep so feel like a zombie today. Better get used to sleep deprivation I suppose!

I also had a dream I was having a boy, previously I have dreamt about having a girl.

I think my cat is trying to train me ready for sleepless nights with a baby. Last night I think she woke me about 8 times either wanting to get in or out of my room. During the day time she's in my room all day, never budges, but at night she's constantly up and down!

I think I'm in full nesting mode now. I didn't get this last time. Dd slept through last night (rare occurrence despite being nearly 2, sorry to break it to you first timers! ) but I was wide awake at 4am making lists in my head. I'm currently in full scrubbing mode in my dining room, fourth load of washing on for the day and dd has been lumped in front of CBeebies so I can get on. I barely even vacuum normally 🙈

Ha Kits our kitties used to do the same thing, scratching at doors trying to bunk in with us but with me being allergic to them, we had to lock them downstairs in the utility during the night where we had set up a little Kingdom for them. They were outdoorsy cats and hunted at night/early morning so we didn't fancy half dead birds upstairs.

We had them adopted by the local farmer down the road from us last year before we started ttc as the allergies got worse and I developed asthma since having them . I miss them but we do get regular updates from the farmer on their welfare. They love being out in the fields hunting and killing all sorts of things in the bushes.

Sorry gone off topic. I love cats.

@danigrace Yes she is still in urgent need to deliver ASAP, but until they get an incubator available all they can do is keep her on bedrest and continue pumping her with steroids. I suppose she must at least have some of her amniotic fluid left, which has enabled her to hang on until now. When we visited her over the weekend she kept saying "I think the baby will die" over and over again though Very upsetting. Hopefully all will turn out far better than she is currently fearing.

Funny how a number of us struggled with sleep last night; I couldn't drop off for hours and was having difficulty getting into a comfortable sleeping position for the first time. Then just an hour after drifting off I was awoken by some almighty wiggles and kicks!

@LuciBee231015 haha been there, likened it to the baby doing some kind of high intensity interval kung fu training!

@Kitsandkids sounds like the door to your room needs a cat flap lol

Haha @glitterglitters, enjoy your spring clean! Careful not to forget to look after yourself

@ButterflyFree omg that's awful, I can't imagine how hard that must be. Thinking of you all.

raises hand another in the not-enough-sleep-last-night club! Wide awake at 5:30am, ended up coming down and tidying, clothes folding and putting away, did the bins, and then a decluttering session in the living room. Went back to bed with a brew at 8:30 to try and get another hour (I work full time but from home) but it didn't work out. Have to present to a client in 40 min, just hope I don't mess it all up!!

@danigrace I wonder if there was a full moon last night.

I've managed to sort out my maternity allowance and calculate my taxes for 2016/2017, on top of all the washing now 😂👌🏼 Fil just called and is making a lemon drizzle cake. Think it's time to stop and relax now.

That sounds so sad @ButterflyFree I hope that they find an incubator soon.

Wc jab was ok today - will probably have a dead arm tomorrow!

I haven't been woken up by kicks yet. Seems like the baby is sleeping through the night for now!

Late to the bump party but here's my offering. I think she's moved as it's gone a bit lopsided over the past few days. I'll spare you the stretchmarks...

Love the bump sharing 😊

I'm feeling shattered tonight, literally feel like a zombie. I'm having a shower and going to bed I think...

Lovely Bumps ladies. I also struggled with sleep last night and have uncomfy back ache today. I had prenatal yoga last night which usually helps me sleep better. I did aqua natal tonight but didn't go as hard as usual as it's really sore and my body feels very heavy

luciebee I have a little ninja too and it can go on for hours. The kicks are so sharp sometimes to my bladder I worry I'll wee . Compared to my first pregnancy this baby is so strong. Or more likely I have no stomach muscle left to soften the sensations.

Hope baby is delivered safely soon butterflyfree

sea I have mine in the morning - not looking forward to it

I am joining the bump sharing late too. I don know how you all get lovely pics. Here is my blurry version of bump today at 26+3.

Loving the bump pics. Mine is still pretty naff at 22+5. It's rectangular ffs... I look like I've eaten a box!!!?

I also got woken up by baby kicking last night. First time it's woken me up!

I think it's my turn to have crap sleep tonight! Woke up at 3:47 blocked up nose/needed a wee and I'm wide awake now. Might just go down stairs and watch tv.

Lol cat @ look like you've eaten a box, mine was really pointy up until about 2 weeks ago.
Love the bump pics too!

Rhodes I've just come to terms with 4am being the new wake up time. Hopefully I'll get back to sleep for an hour or so.

I love the bump pictures too. Mine is still pretty unimpressive, but definitely there.

Start NCT on Saturday which feels so early! I'm worried it's going to be completely cringeworthy too!

If it makes you feel any better @Lallypopstick I found the course quite useful (though it's definitely down to the person taking it) but during one of the "relaxation" moments where they dimmed the lights, put on whale music and sprayed lavender around I couldn't help but burst into not only hysterical laughter but continued to have the giggles throughout the whole exercise. It was MORTIFYING but dh thanked me because he was about to do the same and I took the bullet 😂👌🏼

My nct doesn't start until 22nd April. I'm dreading the cringeworthyness! I'm terrible at laughing in those situations too!

My nct isn't until mid-late may, I hope I'm not the most pregnant person there!
