Thank you @mills and @SJ1989 its so reassuring to know it's quite normal to get a taxi. I had visions of taxi pulling up and refusing to take me or being told it was a ridiculous idea in the first place by others. Feel much better about that now. Still hopefull I dont actually give birth in the back of said taxi though! 😂

ElleMcElle · 21/11/2017 10:54

@Maybebaby2 - I've been wondering about this too. Also London and also planning to call an Uber - just a bit paranoid about going into labour on a really busy night for taxis like New Years Eve! I don't think we will mention that I am in labour until we're in the Uber and it's too late! Maybe that's a bit unfair on the driver, but don't want to risk being refused transport! Also - I've been reading about how the journey to the hospital can sometimes stall labour (you're leaving your comfort zone at home, so the production of oxytocin can slow down) - so husband is under strict instructions to do all the talking to the taxi driver so I can try to stay 'in the zone'. I will be snuggled up in a big furry coat with my hood up and my eyes closed, listening to relaxation tracks or music on my headphones and trying to pretend I'm in my nest rather than in an uber battling through London traffic! Would've loved a home birth, but the place we're living in at the moment isn't really suitable and I'm a bit nervous with my first.

Maybebaby2 · 21/11/2017 13:25

That's a really good point @ElleMcElle I don't want to stress myself out en route to hospital and possibly stall labour so I will make sure I also have some relaxing music and will try and visualise myself being somewhere familiar and comfy rather than sat in the back of a taxi!

Waitingonasmile · 21/11/2017 20:06

Struggling with work! I have so much respect for anyone working until 37/38/39 weeks. I'm finishing at 35+2 and am only 33 weeks today.

SJ1989 · 21/11/2017 21:12

Growth scan and consultant today, baby is still growing but has dropped from 95th centile on first growth scan at 28 weeks to below 50th at 34 weeks so another scan in 2 weeks and possibly early induction. Consultant isn't overly worried though as blood flow and fluid levels are good!

FirsttimemumJan18 · 22/11/2017 03:36

Hi All...Will be 33 Weeks on Friday and like clockwork I’m awake as usual anytime from 2-6am, hence the post at this time! Finding the 3rd trimester a bit tougher now and feel like a huge waddling duck! 🦆 Roll on Maternity Leave Next Month!! (@ 36 Weeks!) Any tips for easing offensive Sciatica? Good luck to you all during your last weeks of pregnancy 🤰 x

millsbynight · 22/11/2017 04:40

@FirsttimemumJan18 pregnancy insomnia over here too 😫 arghhhhhhhhhhhhh

OP posts:
ElleMcElle · 22/11/2017 18:54

OK - Can we talk about wee, please?!

I'm 33 weeks, baby is head down and I need to go to the loo ALL the time. I wee before leaving the house, then as soon as I'm walking down the road, I need to go again. It's bad enough that I'm dashing into cafes etc to use their facilities and can't even get through a supermarket trip without having to find the customer toilet. It's not too much of an issue when I'm sitting down - walking around makes it much worse. I'm also waking up for the loo between 2 and 4 times per night - but that's partly because I'm drinking water before bed to ward off painful leg cramps (isn't pregnancy fun!).

I'm doing pelvic floor exercises (well... most days when I remember!) and I know that this is a common problem during pregnancy - but is this worse than normal? Mentioned it to my GP at my 31 wk appointment and he didn't seem worried. Carried out a urine test to rule out infection and that came back fine.

So, erm... Tell me about your pee, ladies! Thank you! xx

Waitingonasmile · 22/11/2017 19:16

@ElleMcElle I am exactly the same!!! It only started this week (33) and before then wasn't too bad. Even walking from my classroom to the staff room is enough to make me need to pee again. Confused. During the night it's every 90 mins or so I have to go and then glug Gaviscon.

I am loving baths these days. The smell of the bubble both and soap, and heat of the water makes me soo happy.

ElleMcElle · 22/11/2017 19:18

@Waitingonasmile - Glad it's not just me. It has been pretty bad for a while, actually - but really ramped up in the last fortnight.

Ooh - long bath would be lovely...!

Ruthcarr1990 · 22/11/2017 19:35

Hi all not posted for a while, had scan today, baby’s weighing 4lb41/2 at 32+1!! Nearly fell off the bed!!

Having a nightmare with the interfering in laws!! Any one else having this issue? Can feel the hormones kicking in and I’ll end up saying something!! Dreading what she will be like when the baby is here!! Xxx

ForumUsername · 22/11/2017 20:21

@Ruthcarr1990 my MIL can be a bit much too.
I can see she is trying not to be too interfering but she still managed to get under my skin.
She has constantly called the baby he/him despite us not knowing what it is. I think this shows she’d prefer a boy but she says it’s that she doesn’t mind.
It’s more frustrating as everyone is saying they think I’m having a boy so it’s making me think I might be but I’d really hate to be wrong and prefer to be neutral

I’ve a bit of a cold (sore throat, runny nose and sore chest) so feeling a little miserable and sorry for myself TBH

millsbynight · 22/11/2017 20:42

Omg yes @ElleMcElle I need to wee all the time. Every time I turn over in bed I feel the urge to wee so it wakes me up and I guess that’s why I have terrible insomnia at the moment.

I can just about get through my morning commute without weeing myself, but only just!

OP posts:
ElleMcElle · 22/11/2017 21:09

@millsbynight - Glad I'm not alone in this! So frustrating, isn't it? Hope it doesn't mean I have a particularly weak pelvic floor. Goes to do some squeezes...

Owl1011 · 23/11/2017 03:36

Is anyone else’s sleep absolutely terrible at the moment?? Sad

Waitingonasmile · 23/11/2017 05:24

Yes @Owl1011 Sad. Lost count of the number of times I've woken up. Can't wait to be able to turn over without pain!!

Mummyme87 · 23/11/2017 06:32

Terrible sleep here aswell. I get woken up by my body to wee or turn over

Sybarite85 · 23/11/2017 07:40

Another who can't go more than an hour or so without peeing, had to go especially frequently yesterday as darling baby was either kicking or headbutting bladder all afternoon!

And yes to the early morning insomnia too! Never been so familiar with seeing '0400' on my phone...

I have also got really into baths recently, when have time and not too late to impact on need for earlier bedtime. Add a bit of lavender oil which is lovely and relaxing and good for skin Smile

wapphighwood · 23/11/2017 09:38

Also sleeping badly, insomnia and now a stinking cold giving me a terrible headache. I have midwife this morning so will ask about taking painkillers. I have my dd with me today so just getting on with things and hopefully a day on the sofa tomorrow.

Congratulations to the parents of the early arrival of the group, I hope you are all doing well.

Maybebaby2 · 23/11/2017 09:53

I'm off work today because I got 0 hours sleep last night, I haven't been sleeping because of restless legs, heartburn and needing a wee every hour but last night was something else!

I've had a dry cough for a few days so looked in cupboard and we had a tiny bit of covonia so I had 1 spoon and almost instantly regretted it. Felt really Ill so went to bed 9.30 was awake at 12 and was sick as a dog vomiting all night!

Managed to get two hours sleep just now 7.30-9.30 an I don't feel sick anymore but stomach is tied up in knots and I feel rotten and utterly exausted! Will not ever take covonia again!

SJ1989 · 23/11/2017 11:05

Spent the entire night in a&e with my step son as his chest is really bad! Got admitted about 6 this morning and is now on 2 hourly inhalers then they will stretch to 3 hours then 4 hours. Once he can manage the 4 hours without his stats dropping he may be allowed home! Shattered!

Owl1011 · 23/11/2017 11:14

Pregnancy insomnia is horrible, sorry to hear so many are also struggling getting a proper sleep! Keep waking up with headaches as well this week but had everything checked Monday at Midwife app so now resorting to drinking water constantly which isn’t helping the nightly toilet trips!

@SJ1989 I hope your step son is ok and you also manage to get some rest soon

SJ1989 · 23/11/2017 11:25

Thank you, he's finally getting some sleep and his stats are better so fingers crossed we will be home with him this afternoon.

Maybebaby2 · 23/11/2017 12:25

Have just had call from midwife the bloods they took yesterday have shown possible Cholestasis so I'm being sent straight to hospital for further tests today. I mentioned itching yesterday at my appointment but didn't think it was anything major. Bit shaken from getting phone call and just hope everything is ok.

Did someone else say they had been diagnosed with cholestasis?

Maybebaby2 · 23/11/2017 12:26

@SJ1989 hope your stepson is feeling better x
