We've gone for the Maxi Cosi AxissFix

January Babies #5 - Are we 'glowing' yet?!
Sybarite85 · 05/10/2017 09:29

Agree, all bumps are beautiful Smile

Am being told I'm really small! 'What a lovely little bump' etc. This is today at 24+6, don't feel small!!

Sybarite85 · 05/10/2017 09:32

@Maybebaby2 yes also starting to notice different types of movements, even DH last night said he could feel less of a kick and more of a 'shifting' - he reckoned it was moving its bottom around of course, men! Had forgotten about hiccups but yes maybe that's what the little ones are that we can't feel from the outside so well.

Love imagining what it's up to in there and what it thinks of all the music it's hearing!

millsbynight · 05/10/2017 13:57

Gorgeous bumps!! I'm obsessed with other pregnant women I see on my commute at the moment - I literally just stare at their bumps and play a game with myself guessing how far along they are 😂

OP posts:
shaaan1329 · 05/10/2017 14:15

For all you ladies saying you're being told your little for your gestation, I am 25+5 and I have the oddest shaped body I've ever seen😂I have my 25 week appointment on Tuesday so hoping baby is measuring okay but just thought I'd offer some reassurance.. I am 'that girl' who looks like they've eaten too much!

January Babies #5 - Are we 'glowing' yet?!
Maybebaby2 · 05/10/2017 18:14

megram yes same, I keep getting told how big I am and also how small I was last time from those who can remember!

I agree all bumps are lovely. It's more a physical thing that worries me, I can see myself really struggling if I'm huge. Already can't bend over to put on shoes!!

Sybarite I'm pretty sure now that it was hiccups I felt last night. It was so repetitive and rythmic and in the same exact place. I'd also forgotten about hiccups so had worried at first that baby was in some sort of distress. Must be a first that Google has reassured me instead of scaring me!

Gemxo · 05/10/2017 19:50

24+2 here! Everyone keeps saying how small I am 😒 I feel massive!!

This photo has just been taken after dinner though so extra bloated! Throughout the day I think I look smaller...

Also excuse the dirty mirror, Tomorrow is cleaning dayBlush

shaaan1329 · 05/10/2017 20:10

@Gemxo I know the feeling of being told you're small, it makes me paranoid and anxious but I suppose I know deep down they don't mean to scare me. You have a gorgeous bump!

MummyM33 · 05/10/2017 21:51

Aww I'm loving all these baby bumps!! Here's mine... I'm feeling huge! 28 weeks today x

MummyM33 · 05/10/2017 21:51

Forgot to attach!

WLMcI · 05/10/2017 22:18

I'm also 28 weeks today @MummyM33, final trimester yay!
@Gemxi I just had a growth scan because I was measuring very small. Baby is absolutely on target as it turns out, no cause for concern at all! Everyone is like "you're so neat! You can't be so far along!" And I just think, gee thanks, it's actually hugely worrying for me but feel free to comment on my size. You just have to grin and bear it I'm afraid. But I definitely get it!

MummyM33 · 05/10/2017 22:22

@WLMcI it's so exciting to finally be in the final trimester... the countdown is really on!
I was measured yesterday and she thought the baby might be a big large but I've done lots of giggling and it can be so inaccurate, mine for example could be just a lot of extra water! Big or small we'll worry till these babies are born safely x

MummyM33 · 05/10/2017 22:23

Giggling was meant to be googling!

Seven0fNine · 05/10/2017 22:29

Ahhh very nice seeing the bump pics and reading about all these things which are also happening to me.

Keep doing dizzy...even when lying down minding my own business!
And then also today the baby was properly moving under my skin...was just staring at my belly a bit grossed out!!

Can't believe some you are in the 3rd trimester already. The weeks are beginning to fly by now.

Anyone else started nesting yet? I can't stop organising and cleaning and making lists!!

Maybebaby2 · 05/10/2017 22:35

I wish someone would tell me I had a neat bump!! No I just get "your big aren't you"... erm yes I am! Is there any middle ground in size of bumps? We all seem to think we are too big or too small and like you say mummyme we'll all worry either way!

Maybebaby2 · 05/10/2017 22:37

Sorry typo of your name MummyM33

hanna87 · 05/10/2017 23:14

Hi ladies hope you're all well..sorry if tmi but need to ask if anyone's SPD is getting more aggressive?
My coccyx is in pain as are my lady parts, and the entire area surrounding it..theres a good bit of swelling..struggling to walk and turning etc at night is made more painful by all this! Tried googling but coming up with some really old info :(

Mummyme87 · 06/10/2017 06:40

My SPD is flaring back up. My pubic bone is on fire. Moving in bed is a Nightmare and it constantly wakes me up. I'm trying to suck it up and follow the usual instructions... lying with pillow between knees, avoiding abducting my pelvis etc

MegRam · 06/10/2017 07:31

Ladies, I have SPD and have been icing my public bone on the advice of the chiropractor. Frozen peas in bed before sleep really helps (but weird, I know).

I also have pain in my lower back and through coccyx and bum, and using a birthing ball has really helped - I just bought a regular exercise ball from Amazon.

Ultimately, the only the thing that's really helped significantly is regular trips to the chiropractor for adjustment, but I have rotated pelvis so this was probably always bound to happen. It's genuinely made the difference from not being able to walk properly to sometimes having almost pain free days.

WLMcI · 06/10/2017 08:02

I agree with everything MegRam said! Chiropractor has helped, and for me a bath helps too, then I use a gel ice pack before bed if it's quite sore (DH thinks this is hilarious and calls it my fanny pack lol 😂). I have kept up my morning yoga also, just being careful not to do any poses that spread the legs wide (like goddess squats) or any where all my weight is all on one leg.

SJ1989 · 06/10/2017 10:03

Well it's been a majorly emotional few days, my partners uncle has been suffering cancer and we was told Wednesday he probably wouldn't survive the night so did the 2 hour journey and managed to spend his last hours with him, unfortunately he was none responsive but we are hoping he knew we got there. Got to bed about 5:30am and was awake again at 8:30 for another emotional day with the family!
My breasts did decide to cheer my partner up a bit tho by leaking massively the min we got in bed and soaking my pj top (typical when it was cold and I didn't have spare PJs with me) which made him giggle a fair bit!

millsbynight · 06/10/2017 11:15

Oh @SJ1989 that's horrible I'm so sorry Flowers I'm sure he knew you were there with him 💗

Stretch marks anyone?!?! I think I have some lines appearing on my hips Angry

OP posts:
Mummyme87 · 06/10/2017 11:19

I haven't developed any stretch marks yet.. I got enough last time. Hoping I've stretched enough!

Waitingonasmile · 06/10/2017 12:47

So sorry @SJ1989

I had no visible stretch marks until after I had DS and then they appeared post CS. That was a lovely surprise. Angry. No new ones this time but fully expect to be covered again.

SJ1989 · 06/10/2017 12:53

Thanks Mills, currently trying to keep my eyes open watching my nephew, im not liking the combination of childcare and pregnancy along with 2 nights of high emotion and little sleep thought as we didn't get back till just after mid night last night!
