@disinterested sorry you had such a tricky time. He shouldn't have pushed you like that and you shouldn't feel guilty for doing the best for your child.
@unicorn congratulation's.
I'm a teacher so off on the 21st for Christmas holidays and then we have some insets so thought I'd pop back for them and make sure I do a decent handover...unless the baby has other ideas :-) so ml strating on the 8th but I can change things if needed.

flossyfloss · 16/10/2017 19:44

Hi

I haven’t posted in a while but I am a regular reader Smile

Is anyone struggling with their baby’s feet under their ribs? This is my fifth and I’ve never had this this early on, I’m 27+2, all weekend I was getting very low down fiddling movements and feet being wedged under my ribs at the same time! Shock I thought it was a while before the top of the uterus touched the ribs and it’s making me think I have a very long baby in there Confused xx

AmandaP86x · 16/10/2017 19:57

So keep getting told in massive

ndo4000 · 16/10/2017 20:16

@AmandaP86x that is nothing. Check out this bump! (28 wks today....)

Rosehyd2 · 16/10/2017 20:20

@ruthcarr1990 Yep I had my flu jab last week and felt pants for a day or two after but I've felt fine ever since. Hope it passes for you soon!

@flossyfloss Yep same feeling in the ribs here! I'm 26+2. I thought it was early too but apparently the uterus is couple inches above the belly button now so I guess it makes sense!

Ruthcarr1990 · 16/10/2017 20:29

@flossyfloss I no that feeling very well!!! I’ve got feet constantly In my ribs!! Eases off if I lie down at home or lean right back in a chair at work. Xxx

SJ1989 · 16/10/2017 20:55

@disinterested I would complain about the consultant he has no right to pressurised you and to then refuse to care for you and your baby is outrageous! Hope he hasn't managed to bully anybody else into the trial and hope you get changed to a nicer consultant though!

I'm finishing early December as been told I'm likely to go early and means I can get organised for Christmas!

This is my bump at 28+5 now 29+1 :)

January Babies #5 - Are we 'glowing' yet?!
MrsPworkingmummy · 16/10/2017 21:07

Hi Everyone,
Great to hear how you're all getting on . I'm 25 weeks and feel absolutely huge. In fact, I'm sure I'm about the same size now as I was full-term with DD1 - and there're still 3 months to go. Goodness knows how big i'll end up!
I still haven't had my MATB1 form yet, but did hand my official notice of pregnancy letter into work today. I've stated i'll be starting my maternity on 17/01, but may change my mind and move it forward by a week depending on how I'm feeling after the Christmas holidays. I teach a pretty full timetable at the minute and am struggling with bad middle back pain, so I think that, in part, will dictate when I go on maternity. Just want as much time off afterwards as possible!

Disinterested · 16/10/2017 22:21

Thanks for your kind words ladies, I can always count on you guys! Flowers

@maybebaby no we didn't get round to watching it and I'm gutted because it looks soooo good! Can't believe you didn't take slippers to the cinema, you absolute novice Grin

Congratulations @unicorns what fabulous news :) x

AmandaP86x · 16/10/2017 22:56

Oh man that posted too early!!! Haha!! Yeh so people keep going oh ur big etc I’m like ffs shut up!!!!! 😂😂😂 I keep trying to make myself feel better by saying u were slim before maybe people are not used to it lol!!! Numpties! Loving all the bumpy pics ❤️❤️

I have the worst pain on my left hip I physically can’t lie on it overnight it’s brutal!!!! Iv resorted to some painkillers overnight then u get the pure guilt 😥

Disinterested · 17/10/2017 09:16

@SJ1989 sorry, I missed your comment as I was distracted by all of the pictures ha ha! I'm glad I don't have to deal with him any more to be honest. I know what you mean about how it's worrying that he's pressured other women into the trial though. He kept saying "we currently have 21 women trialling it and you will be number 22" and I said to my husband when we left that I imagine at least 5 of those poor women were coerced into it! Sad

Lovely baby bump pictures ladies. I still don't feel i have much in the way of a bump but the midwife measured my stomach yesterday and it's 27cm so I must have something?!

SJ1989 · 17/10/2017 09:43

@disinterested I'm glad you stuck to your guns, Would be horrible to be pressured I to a trial an then get the wrong outcome!
An yeah you must have a normal sized bump (if there's such a thing) sometimes it's down to how bump sits for how obvious it is. I think I show more because bumps low but if you carrying high I don't think it's ad obvious as it goes straight from boob to bump!

millsbynight · 17/10/2017 10:34

Gorgeous bump pics everyone 😍
@AmandaP86x Who said you are big?! They’re delusional!

Had my first Braxton Hicks of the pregnancy this morning at 29+2. Ouch 😖

Been wondering how iamchanging is doing? Has she posted recently after the sad news she received? :(

LottieLizzie · 17/10/2017 12:50

Hello! I'm a bit late to the party, but hope I can join in! I'm 25+2, due 29th January, first pregnancy so have no idea what I am doing, but think this thread might be just what I need! Nothing earth shattering to say atm, just wanted to say hi Smile

SJ1989 · 17/10/2017 13:01

@lottielizzie welcome to the group! It's my first too so also no clue what I'm doing! We have a good bunch to be clueless with though!

Health Visitor is coming today 😕

Maybebaby2 · 17/10/2017 14:28

@Disinterested I know what was I thinking! Definitely learnt my lesson, I'll take a lovely comfy pair of slippers next time! Grin

Lovely bump pics!

Welcome @LottieLizzie do you know if you're having a boy or girl or is it going to be a surprise?

LottieLizzie · 17/10/2017 15:33

Thank you! We're going to have a surprise Smile

klaw87 · 17/10/2017 15:48

Welcome @LottieLizzie I'm a first timer too so you're not alone!

@millsbynight I've been having braxton hicks for ages but only realised what they were a couple of days ago as they're getting stronger now - have them a good few times a day 😩

Disinterested · 17/10/2017 16:50

Welcome and congratulations @lottielizzie - another first timer here! How exciting that you're having a surprise! Grin

She's posted a couple of times since her horrible time @weasledee but I'm not sure. I hope she's getting the care and support she needs. She was also in my thoughts when we lit our candle on Sunday.

Gemxo · 17/10/2017 17:14

Sorry if this is a silly question but this is my first baby so don't have a clue, how do you tell the difference between braxton hixs and contractions? Apparently there very similar so curious to know who you would know

Gemxo · 17/10/2017 17:15

Hicks*

klaw87 · 17/10/2017 18:34

@Gemxo not sure what they're like in comparison to contractions but mine have been basically a really tight sensation across the front and middle of my stomach, like across the belly button that sort of area, and one side goes a really funny shape - doesn't last long. I initially thought baby was just putting all his weight on one side or pushing his head or bum in to my side. They're not painful but definitely uncomfortable x

MegRam · 18/10/2017 10:42

I'm definitely getting Braxton Hicks. Like you @klaw87 I initially thought it was baby pushing against the front of my uterus, but the tightening is getting stronger and more frequent, and the more I read, the more convinced I am that it's BH.

Very weird feeling.
