Ive got some lansinoh nipple cream and lansinoh breast pads and thats it so far! I've written a list just need to get the bits together

Glitter I have not slept well for a while now. Especially my left hip bone areas hurts from around 3am. I don't know how to get any relief from that pain which doesn't involve turning onto my back for some relief.

Oh yes and the leg cramps. No less than 3 cramps in 3 nights last week. You literally jump out of bed!

I had my best and deepest sleep in a long time last night... fell asleep on my left side (as I have been forcing myself to) but woke up on my back. I'm still really very comfortable laying on my back - is that awful and irresponsible of me?!?! I've read such conflicting advice when searching on Google...

Hi all, just had a mammoth catch up after a busy few days!

not I get the hi pain too. I do have a dodgy hip but it never used to hurt at night

bawbles I really didn't want to pay for maternity knickers so I've mainly been wearing low rise ones from Victoria's Secret. I had them anyway as they are so comfy. I believe they have an awful name like sexy cheekies! I'm going to get some more on Saturday so will let you know. They are really comfy tho and just sit under the bump with no vpl and no digging in!

25 week midwife appointment today. My last one at 16 weeks was very quick - I'm hoping to hear the heartbeat at this one.

On pads - my NCT leader said that the cheap thick sanitary towels you can get (not the individually wrapped ones) are often the best. I'll probably get a selection of a few different things.

@ButterflyFree don't worry about laying on your back :) Your body will adjust to what works and what is comfortable for you.

The past 2 nights I've had half decent sleeps as well actually. Fingers crossed it carries on!

Those maternity knickers are comfy and fit under bump nicely with no digging in. Only thing is I live in thongs and hate knicker lines!

lally surely you will get to hear heartbeat today, I got to hear mine at 16 or 18 week appointment.

Anyone else feel like this pregnancy is going really fast? I'm 29 weeks on Friday!! 😨 Keep getting my waves of anxiety, I have to take a couple deep breaths.

Had a few major braxton hicks last night, about 6 of them! Not painful just my lower belly going extremely hard and tight.

Luci I feel like it's flying by (28 weeks on Friday) but I also feel like I've been pregnant forever!

Sadly for me it is still dragging on. I feel like a day lasts a lifetime.

I will have the 28wks appointment with the midwife on Friday at 27+6. I then have the GTT on Monday morning. I am still wearing my usual knickers and not really had any issues with them. I don't think I will be buying anymore apart from a few big ones for if I end up having a csection to stop them from rubbing the cut.

luci I have also had a few random nights of good sleep, I still wake up early (between 5am and 6am) but I don't mind that as long as sleep hasn't been broken.

When I woke up at 5 this morning I did have my first real scary thoughts about birth, weirdly I've not thought much about it but it popped in my head out of nowhere and I felt a bit scared!?

Agree on the weeks going fast, I remember from previous threads that there's a few of us finishing work on 16june..... that's 10weeks on Friday!?!

Rhodes Yeah that's when I'm finishing (hopefully). I've just had to remind my boss he is lagging behind on maternity cover and the ad needs to go out right now if we are going to get somebody in by the beginning of June!

Yep my last day is 16th June too, I will be 39 weeks that day!! 😳

So I have 10 weeks left at work and 11 weeks till my due date!!

I keep thinking it's going really slowly and then reminding myself I've already done 27 odd weeks 😱 The third trimester really draggggggged for me last time but the good weather made it a bit easier. Hopefully I can just keep busy in the meantime.

Had a text yesterday to say that DWP are processing my maternity allowance forms. I think I'll get a national insurance bill soon as well but at least I've got some more guaranteed income for the months I'm off which is a great relief 😯💨

I hope everyone is feeling wonderful!

I have just logged on to Emmas Diary to recive all of those free packs (all usually full of leaflets i've been told but they are free!) and gone in to sales and offers page and at the mo they have loads over 50% discounts on newborn things! just thought i'dd let everyone know as I've just redeemed loads of these vouchers! :-)

So I just wrote and printed my birth plan...

...

is getting real, ladies.

Goddamit, you can't even swear on the forum. Well, you know what I meant when I said 'x' is getting real above ;)

Oooh I've seen some words a lot stronger than shit not starred 🙊

26wks today

Feels like it's sped up a bit again but does feel like I've been pg forever!! GTT test in the morning hoping I won't turn to evil with a morning without food!

I have 8.5wks left at work finishing quite early coz of holiday year renewing and changing - although I'd happily finish tomorrow if i could I'm in the rubbish sleepers club!!

Advert for my maternity cover went out last week. Closing date for internal notes of interest is Friday and no one's shown any interest yet....

Next step is putting it out to an agency and that can take 6-8 weeks...a reasonable handover period is looking increasingly unlikely!

Just need to keep repeating to myself that's it's not my issue, and getting stressed about it won't make any difference..

I have developed another unpleasant symptom that has been going for 3 days now. The only way I can describe it is that it feels like it is all pushing down into the pubic bone, feels heavy there like a massive baby head is pushing down. Slightly uncomfortable when walking so I have slowed down my walk or if faster I have adopted a slight waddle😂. It was very uncomfortable yesterday walking back to my car from the station. Car is parked about 200m uphill from the station and yesterday was the first time I was breathless walking to the car combined with the pubic bone pain. I will mention it to the midwife on Friday and see what she says. I have been very smug that apart from disturbed sleep, I have been physically doing well with no aches but now they start with 12wks to go!

I've got that too @Notyetthere I've also had a few issues crouching down to get things in the kitchen. Like the baby will fall out 😆 they're obviously a few pounds now so maybe it's gravity just pulling them down

And don't get me started on getting my shoes on. Most of my shoes are buckles or laces. Need to get some slip on shoes.

Oh the leg cramps! They have been assaulting me for almost a month.

Here is what I have learnt so far:

Swimming helps
Put your legs up at the end of the day
Yoga
Eat a banana everyday -apparently they can be brought on by lack of potassium
Coconut water- I think it's the sodium of the powers of rehydration on it
Don't stand for too long - I made the mistake of going to a trade show for work and was in pain all night!
And finally stretch before going to bed

@natienka lovely pic!

I am now suffering from siatica brough on by the flight.

Swimming helped but sitting at work is making it worse, so making myself walk at lunchtime.

Baby has been very active this week.

I have not bought any big baby items, but planning to do a decliner of flat and baby's room over Easter weekend to make room for those things.

I have not been able to resist baby clothes.

Going away to Brighton today his weekend, hoping for good weather.

Xxx

Hello Ladies!

Sorry I've been a bit MIA, but just back from the wedding in Northern Ireland (can totally recommend N.I. as a short trip away - the scenery there is beautiful and Belfast is really nice!)

I had horrendous cramp one night when I was away in my leg - had to wake my OH up to help me stretch it out!

My last day is on 16th June too, and with annual leave / bank hols I only have 44 working days left - eek! Had my maternity cover up for a month to get CVs through, and have 5 interviews booked in for Monday - I really hope one of them is excellent as I am really nervous about handing my job, and my whole team over to someone else over the busiest time of year (Christmas!) for the business..

Still waiting for news on the house we are buying - survey was done on Friday and hoping to get the results through today, I just want somewhere that I can start nesting in, even if only a little bit!

Does anyone else feel like their ribs are being ripped apart? Over the last week it honestly feels as though my rib cage is trying to break out of my body and I get so uncomfortable :(

@Mawita I'm from Brighton! the weather is looking good for this weekend - but just be aware that it is going to be mega busy on Sunday - nice weather + Brighton Marathon!
