@cheshiremama89 that’s really awful! I wish people would just stop giving their opinion on pregnant women, let alone incredibly negative and insensitive ones!

OP posts:
cheshiremama89 · 24/12/2017 23:34

I'm getting used to it to be honest.
Anyone else hyper sensitive and reading into things?
MIL has said a few things over the past few occasions that have really got under my skin.

Not sure if I'm just being hyper emotional though x

hanna87 · 25/12/2017 00:13

Merry Christmas 🎄 ladies! Have a fab one xx

katmarie · 25/12/2017 02:34

@cheshiremama89 I've had a few comments, 'haven't you got big? Etc etc. My response is usually just 'mmm' and change the subject. I popped in to see one of our elderly neighbours today and she said the total opposite, what a lovely little bump I have, so I've concluded that you just can't win with being pregnant (also she's now my favourite neighbour, she crocheted a blanket for the baby, bless her!).

Flippertyjibbetty · 25/12/2017 04:43

@cheshiremama89 I imagine it's a mix of people feeling they can say all sorts and a bit of hormonalness so overreacting! We've all been there.

When at the shops yesterday and looking in the estate agents at million pound 6 bedroom houses my DH started singing me a song about how we need a bigger house so that he could get his big wife in because I can't roll through the door anymore. I was laughing at the silliness but could quickly have turned to tears. Don't love that he's started calling me penquin though based on my waddle...

@katmarie - what a lovely neighbour! I've had 'oh I can tell you're having a girl, your bump is more spread out than X who is having a boy'. Umm ok. I'm also a month ahead of her but ok Xmas Confused. And then just the 'omg you're huge. I can say that cos you're pregnant' (direct quote) from another colleague but just let him off with a dry laugh as he's bit clueless at the best of times.

@hanna87- merry xmas to you too!

Wonder if we'll have any xmas Day baby updates today!!!

StylishDuck · 25/12/2017 05:00

I've been awake most of the night. Was getting really sharp pains in my pelvic area and bum. Then I was sick. Phoned MW and she said the pains sounded like bowel spasms/constipation (lovely!) so took some paracetamol and went to bed with a hot water bottle. Been lying here for a couple of hours and the pain has turned into cramp like pain on and off i.e more contraction like. Not sure if it's BHs or the real thing...

StylishDuck · 25/12/2017 07:20

False alarm I think! "Contractions" eased off so they must have been BHs. They were pretty irregular anyway. Plus I have pooed! (Sorry if TMI!) Feel a lot better after that Grin Been on iron tablets for the last week so that has been a challenge Confused Not slept a wink and expecting DD up any minute to see if Santa has been. Will need to just try to go for a nap later at PIL's.

Merry Christmas everyone! Xmas Grin

cheshiremama89 · 25/12/2017 08:24

I need I Floffle update BrewWink

Waitingonasmile · 25/12/2017 09:25

Glad all is ok @StylishDuck ! Hopefully baby stays out until later.

I just fell asleep in the bath Blush. I think it's going to be a long day. So nauseous Envy

Hope everyone has a lovely day Xmas SmileThanksCake

ForumUsername · 25/12/2017 11:48

Merry Christmas everyone 🎁🎄

I'm very crampy again today
It's weird having these period type pains, my instinct is to reach for nurofen and a glass of wine! 🍷 💊

Would love to stay in my pj's but we normally all glam up for the day..... the effort seems impossible right now though 😒

Waitingonasmile · 26/12/2017 07:43

Any updates on the cramping @ForumUsername ?

I woke up to a ridiculous amount of discharge today but don't think it's waters. Put a pad on and will check later.

MegRam · 26/12/2017 08:14

The same happened to me on Christmas Eve, @Waitingonasmile! Loads of clear, watery discharge, but I'm pretty sure not waters (DH and I both examined carefully 😂). I think it's common to have an increased amount in the last weeks?

Mummyme87 · 26/12/2017 08:19

Agonising SPD at night time. Can’t lie in any position and not sleeping. Off to go find me some co-codamol today to see if it helps

Flippertyjibbetty · 26/12/2017 08:51

@Mummyme87 - i would advise going to your midwife/gp if possible (maybe they could write a script over the phone)?

Pharmacist refused to give me co-codamol last week despite basically being in tears at the counter with pain from hobbling in. Refusal on the basis that this late on in preg it would clog you up too much and it should only be taken on advice of GP... I'm not sure why she couldn't just sell me a laxative alongside but ok.

She was pregnant herself so I couldn't even be that annoyed w her :(

Just wanted to save you a trip, but you may have a more understanding pharmacist (or simply not ask/ say you're pregnant). I did but only because the cashier initially was trying to give me Nurofen instead on the basis that it 'says it's for back pain, its stronger than cocodamol' to which I was Confused and said I can't take ibuprofen, she said 'it's not ibuprofen it's nurofen'...so at that point I asked to speak to the pharmacist!

Flowers for your pain. Turning over at night is agony!

Waitingonasmile · 26/12/2017 09:45

Glad it's not just me @MegRam !! Another delight of pregnancy .

Aww @Mummyme87 SPD is just so miserable. I'm finding turning over horrendous. Sneezing is also not fun.

Two weeks today until 40 weeks and my c section Smile. The end is so close!!!!!!!

ForumUsername · 26/12/2017 10:00

@Waitingonasmile no update
Just crampy on and off all day
Think I could have these for a few weeks....

Have appointment tomorrow and will mention it to doc just in case though

Mummyme87 · 26/12/2017 10:14

Thanks flipperty I’ll get my OH to get some for me. It’s safe to take in pregnancy (I’m a midwife so give it out enough), just ideally shouldn’t be taking it full dose daily in 3rd trimester as is an opiate.. nothing to do with ‘clogging up’.

millsbynight · 26/12/2017 10:25

Hi everyone! Very happy to announce the safe arrival of baby Emily Olivia born this morning at 4.19am and weighing 7lb 1oz.

Waitingonasmile · 26/12/2017 10:28

Congratulations @millsbynight lovely news. Hope you are both well xx

StylishDuck · 26/12/2017 10:45

Congratulations mills Grin Lovely name!

I'm loving hearing about all the new babies!

ziggzagg · 26/12/2017 10:46

Congratulations @millsbynight enjoy your beautiful baby xxx

Flippertyjibbetty · 26/12/2017 12:23

@millsbynight- congratulations! Hope you're all well and lovely names :)

@mummyme87 - i thought that was the case, as GP mentioned months ago I could take it for migraines! So the pharmacist was an idiot too..! I really could have done w it that day, grr!
Hope it eases things for you :)

I think that baby won't be here before the end of the week (I'm 38+5). Crampy but low level and just feels like things gently getting ready rather than about to pop!

MegRam · 26/12/2017 13:09

Congratulations @millsbynight - wonderful news! xx

katmarie · 26/12/2017 13:15

Congratulations @millsbynight, what a lovely name!!!

@Flippertyjibbetty I had a pharmacist refuse to give me gaviscon a couple of weeks ago because I'm pregnant, she said I had to get it prescribed by the doctor. Utterly bizarre.

Maybebaby2 · 26/12/2017 13:27

Oh wow congratulations @millsbynight! Lovely news! When did you go into hospital was it early hours this morning or Christmas day?
