@Maybebaby2 I know how scary it is having baby earlier than expected but at 37 weeks there's every chance they will be a really good size. Even the smallish ones often do brilliantly too. DS was 35 weeks and 4 pound 6 ounces and was absolutely perfect and healthy. Both Apgar scores were 9! Hopefully everything will go smoothly after this initial shock. 

I might buy Epsom Salts! Anything is worth a try at this point.

@MegRam I had stretch marks from last time (which didn't appear until after my CS) and they've become visible again. I'm expecting to be covered in them if I go full term this time. My skin is rubbish.

katmarie · 26/11/2017 10:46

@megram I have stretch marks on my hips and (sadly) on my boobs too. Mine aren't uncomfortable though, I used the body shop vitamin e body butter early on, and now I'm using bio oil or palmers cocoa butter on them. It doesn't stop them but it does seem to keep them soft and not itchy or sore.

SJ1989 · 26/11/2017 16:22

I had some faint stretch marks on my hips but now seem to be getting some around by belly button, I've been moisturing but been told it doesn't actually make a difference as it doesn't reach deep enough to stop the stretch marks

PurplePoppySeed · 26/11/2017 20:18

I'm using the palmers cocoa butter too, didn't get any stretch marks during my last pregnancy but a lot of friends said they couldn't escape them the second time, I'm just keeping fingers crossed that it is actually helping but will see!

thaigreencurry82 · 26/11/2017 21:20

@maybebaby2 @disinterested can I ask how itchy you were before your obstetric cholestasis was diagnosed? And did you have any of the other symptoms like dark urine pale stools? I’m asking as I’ve been itching, sometimes quite intensely.

ChocoMunchi · 27/11/2017 07:16

Anyone bought the Tutti Bambini Cozee Crib and know which sheets will fit?

star1980 · 27/11/2017 08:12

Hello ladies, sorry haven't posted in ages but been following along.

Mills, I never updated my gender scan, we're having a girl Smile

I'm 32wks and only just starting to shop and it's pretty overwhelming! Can I ask how people approached buggy buying? I don't know what I'm looking for at all! The price range is so enormous and there are so many different kinds. I went to a big out of town mothercare yesterday and it was so busy (not helped by Black Friday) we spent an hour in there and came out none the wiser re buggies. But we did get a few sleep suits and vests! The only thing I've learnt so far is I need something good for a tall person as dh and I are both 5'11 and want a pram that converts to a pushchair (whilst not being 100% sure what those two things are!!)

Disinterested · 27/11/2017 08:36

@thaigreencurry2 - to be perfectly honest I wasn't itching that much. I'd had a month or so of no itching at all but one night I itched really intensely and so forced myself into the doctors the next morning. I very nearly didn't go! I had dark urine but I put this down to pregnancy/dehydration as when I drank more water it paled. No other symptoms. I'd go if I were you, it's easily diagnosed and will give you peace of mind :)

Disinterested · 27/11/2017 08:40

Just to note that I started itching at 15 weeks but thought it was because I was allergic to bio oil and coincidently my itching stopped when I ceased using bio oil Confused! Now I've been diagnosed I've been using it every day again and I am 100% not allergic ha ha.

Maybebaby2 · 27/11/2017 09:36

Thanks @Waitingonasmile, let me know if the Epsom Salts make any difference.

@thaigreencurry2 I had itching but didn't think it was that bad, I thought it was just normal pregnancy symptom. Now I think of it I was itchy quite a lot of the time but it wasn't driving me insane or causing too much distress. I also had dark urine, every time I went to see midwife she told me I was dehydrated and needed to up my water intake. I knew I was drinking LOT'S of water so didn't understand why urin was still so dark, now I know why! If you are at all concerned I would go and see your midwife or doctor. My test results came back in under 24 hours so it's really quick.

Waitingonasmile · 27/11/2017 09:40

I've hit a brick wall today and feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever!!!! Shock

34 weeks tomorrow and it feels like an eternity left. Can't imagine it being over!

millsbynight · 27/11/2017 09:47

There must be something in the water @Waitingonasmile as I’ve hit a brick wall too! I’m am beyond tired. I honestly can barely keep my eyes open and everything feels heavy, my legs, my arms, all feel like they’re filled with cement.

Did the school run and came back home. Can’t face work today. I only have 2 more weeks left until I’m officially on mat leave but I am really struggling Sad

5 weeks to go till due date!

Waitingonasmile · 27/11/2017 10:39

It's odd because up until now I've been feeling we are so close but today it's all doom and gloom. I also have two weeks left @millsbynight (but I'm not as far on as you) so will only be 35+2 when I finish next Thu.

I just can't imagine this ever coming to and end.Sad.

Is anyone else starting to get scared about the birth? I know c section wasn't even nearly as bad as I expected, but it still wasn't the most pleasant experience. At least I've never experienced labour so that remains a mystery to me. At the moment I'm not scared of that...yet lol.

katmarie · 27/11/2017 15:48

I've had a couple of braxton hicks contractions and they've been uncomfortable enough to make me feel quite nervous about giving birth. It's the not knowing as much as anything, not knowing when it will be, how much it will hurt, how long it might last etc etc. That and knowing it's all on me to deal with, I can't hand any of it off to DP to suffer, also makes it a bit scary! I'm 33 weeksthis week, and it does seem like this pregnancy has lasted forever, and yet there's still sooooo long to go.

klc75 · 27/11/2017 17:12

Been for growth scan today 34+1 and 6lb 1oz... 😩😱.. rescan in three weeks and gtt on Friday. Can have a c section if I want as had one with first but then had VBAC with second. Is all getting scary and real 🙄

thaigreencurry82 · 27/11/2017 18:17

Thanks for your responses. I will go and get checked out.

Usernamegone · 27/11/2017 18:43

I’m 34 weeks tomorrow and can’t wait to finish work and out my feet up. Bad heartburn, carpal tunnel and swollen ankles here, but no stretch marks - yet!

Gemxo · 27/11/2017 19:06

3 weeks of work left for me! Getting up of a morning is getting really tough, I'm really starting to feel that extra weight now! I officially woddle🙈

ziggzagg · 27/11/2017 20:01

Guys I've been having period like pains all day, back ache and wriggler than usual baby. Been feeling nauseous too! I'm thinking it may be my time Confused Just having a warm bath and seeing how I go through the night!! 35 weeks tomorrow Confused

millsbynight · 27/11/2017 20:15

OoOoOoOo @ziggzagg how exciting!!! Any contractions? I’ve been having on/off period pain yesterday and today (partly the reason I didn’t go to work today). I don’t know if that means things are getting set in motion for me or not. Don’t remember period pains with DS, just a series of tightenings which turned in to regular contractions a day or so later. Although it was 7 years ago so my memory is hazy!

ForumUsername · 27/11/2017 20:55

Wow it's getting very real now
We've already had 1 arrival and potentially more on the way 😮

I've still 5 weeks of work left 😒
Work is fairly flexible so I'm am to go in late and leave a little early

I've been dosed with a cold the past week! It's horrible, my chest and back hurt with all the coughing
I had been sleeping ok (not great but not too bad) their cold has me awake most the night

ziggzagg · 27/11/2017 21:23

Been having contractions every half hour for the last 2 hours!! Hoping it is the start and not a false alarm! Confused

ziggzagg · 27/11/2017 21:24

My last one was 11 years ago!!

Disinterested · 27/11/2017 21:27

Wow @ziggzagg fingers crossed!

millsbynight · 27/11/2017 21:37

No way @ziggzagg ! I’ll be glued to my phone for the next 24hrs waiting for updates from you Grin This could be it!
