Here’s me at 31 weeks. Literally just ate a chicken roast with 4 yorkshires so it’s half dinner-half baby.

Still not looking big so I included 2 angles! Confused Have put on loads and loads of weight though. DH commented on my “back fat” earlier today HmmAngry

Thanks ladies!

@Millsbynight you bumps dead neat, doesn't look overly small and your still really skinny everywhere else!

PurplePoppySeed · 29/10/2017 22:37

@robindeer it was me that mentioned reflexology, it definitely helped, not psychosomatic at all, I bought fish and chips and had a Diet Coke for tea straight afterwards and should have really suffered but had no heartburn at all. It's been gradually coming back over the week but as yet nothing like it was! I think I'll aim to see her again in another week or so.

Mummyme87 · 30/10/2017 07:41

29weeks here today. I will start doing hospital bag next week I think. I need to be a bit ready earlier than last time as we travel to Devon at 35weeks and Newcastle at 37weeks so need a bag packed in the car just in case.
I have Also been feeling sorry for myself this weekend. Insomnia, woke up yesterday with a painful neck like I slept really awkwardly and couldn’t move it,had stomach cramps and dodgy stomach all afternoon yesterday. Feeling better today.

Regarding the minor ailment scheme, just remember each time you use that it costs the NHS around £8-10

Victoriaaaaaaaa · 30/10/2017 12:33

leaving my mark so i can come back lol!

Victoriaaaaaaaa · 30/10/2017 12:35

My beautiful 4d scan from 22nd Oct ❤️❤️

katmarie · 30/10/2017 12:55

Loving the scan and bump pictures!

I’m playing good day/bad day here. I had my anti d injection and a blood test this morning, which wasn’t fun. On the positive side the midwife did listen when I told her where the best spot was to draw blood from me, so I only have one needle hole instead of the usual two or three :) and she had a student midwife with her, who she told very pointedly to listen to her patients when they show her where to stick the needle as we generally know what we’re on about, so that was nice.

I also went to the pharmacy to see about getting some gaviscon under the minor ailments scheme, only to be told by the pharmacist that they don’t give things out to pregnant women, they will only refer us back to the Gp for a prescription as we need extra care. So that was a waste of time and very annoying. Fortunately I have a gp’s appointment this afternoon (which I had almost forgotten about!) so I’ll ask the doctor then.

Gemxo · 30/10/2017 17:47

Pelvic pain has started here today! 28 weeks tomorrow Blush

ForumUsername · 30/10/2017 18:45

I feel massive already
I was all bump to the front but now it’s edging to the sides! I’m 28 weeks and have no idea how I could possibly have 12+weeks of growing to do 😂

I was at an anti natal class and the Physio recommended tubigrip as a support for bump if you were having any pain in your back, front or sides
She said to cut it from bra down past hips doubled
I wore some today as I had felt my lower back get weak. Have to say it gave great support
But got very itchy in the last hour so had to take it off
Going to try it over a vest tomorrow to see if it feels better longer

Maybebaby2 · 30/10/2017 20:07

Probably not but I wondered if anyone else is experiencing dental problems during their pregnancy? I've already had two trips to dentist for two old fillings that just fell out and tonight I've broken half a tooth off just chewing a sweet! I swear my dental routeen is good, I look after my teeth and I floss regularly. The fillings that fell out were very old so might not be related to pregnancy but to now break a tooth... coincidence?? I just don't understand why it's all happening now!! Sad

millsbynight · 30/10/2017 21:08

Anyone else get loads of Braxton Hicks after sex Blush?

@Maybebaby2 don’t have the answer to your specific question but I’ve heard that there’s all sorts of dental problems caused by pregnancy hormones and that’s why dental care is free on the NHS for pregnant women.

OP posts:
Waitingonasmile · 30/10/2017 21:13

@millsbynight I would rather sign up for another 30 weeks of pregnancy than have sex, so can't help you there! Blush

millsbynight · 30/10/2017 21:16

@Waitingonasmile 😂😂

hodgeheg92 · 30/10/2017 21:21

@millsbynight Yup, you're not the only one with that. In fact it's the only time I have them. Was pretty scared the first time it happened!

Mummyme87 · 30/10/2017 21:41

millsbynight if you’re having an orgasm, they are probably triggered by that due to oxytocin

Maybebaby2 · 30/10/2017 21:50

Thanks @mills I posted a thread on pregnancy board and it seems others have had similar issues, just glad treatment is free at the moment!

Just to clarify I'm talking about the dental issues... not Braxton hicks after sex as I dont think think there's any treatment free or otherwise for that! 😂

LoobysMummy14 · 31/10/2017 06:44

@Maybe I have been having problems with my teeth in this pregnancy Sad and also have had a tooth crack and break. Didmt have any problems before becoming pregnant

Maybebaby2 · 31/10/2017 09:51

Horrid isn't it @LoobysMummy14 I've not had any problems for years and suddenly all this!

Bit of a work related moan. I have a midwife appointment next Wednesday afternoon. It's an afternoon I work (I work two and half days so 2 full days and one half till 1pm) I told work that I had this appointment and they were fine about it. I said I would only be out 30/40 mins max as clinic is just up the road from work. So I'd leave about 2.35 and be back by 3.15 at the most. They were fine about it.
Yesterday I got an email from the class teacher asking me to swap my afternoons that week so that I won't be working at all the Wednesday afternoon and the 30/40 mins I'd be out won't impact on their ppa time (teachers planning time) I said yes that's fine but as I'm thinking about it I'm wondering if I should have been so quick.to say yes?
I am entitled to time for maternity appointments and I haven't taken any as yet. It also means that I'll leave work at 1 only to have to go home and come back again for my appointment so it's pretty much wasting my free afternoon. I know teachers are stretched to the max but I also know they could make do without me for those 30/40 mins. What does everyone think, I know we have a lot of teachers/TAs on here too? It's just the principle that I am questioning because I know I'm entitled to the time for maternity appointments, but just because I'm part time does that mean that work can chop and change my working days to fit around things like that?

ziggzagg · 31/10/2017 10:00

@Maybebaby2 Depends on workplace really. You should only have “reasonable “ time off for appointments so your work may think that you have 21/2 days to schedule appointments iyswim? I’m conscious to book mine first thing or last thing so it impacts as minimal as possible! HTH!

Maybebaby2 · 31/10/2017 10:09

I didn't book this appointment @ziggzagg it came in the post over the weekend had been made without me knowing about it. All the others that I've booked myself I've made sure were in days I'm not in.
I just think it's a bit OTT to begrudge me half an hour to pop out to appointment, given I've not asked for any other time so far.

asafemooring · 31/10/2017 10:37

@Maybebaby2 I work part-time too but my appointments have almost all been on work days (just the day the midwife does appointments at my GP) and I've just taken them. It might depend what your employment contract says - if they're allowed to rearrange your working days normally then that would still apply, but if they are set and need your agreement to change them then you're definitely within your rights to refuse! I understand where they're coming from, but someone has to be inconvenienced and there's no rule that says it has to be you!

Maybebaby2 · 31/10/2017 10:47

I'm going leave it now as I've just had to ask if I can leave 15 mins early this Thursday to get to a dental appointment! 😂 Its give and take and I know I have the right to refuse to swap days but in the greater scheme of things it's not worth it. I will definitely try and make sure I know when appointments are being made from now on!

Mummyme87 · 31/10/2017 14:58

You are absolutely entitled to time off for maternity care and antenatal classes. I do most in my own time, I work in maternity and don’t feel I can take time out of shifts as it’s busy 😖

Waitingonasmile · 31/10/2017 16:12

Has anyone else not even thought about buying anything yet?? I'm 30 weeks today and still feel it's too early. Starting to think I need to stop being so paranoid and go for it.

SJ1989 · 31/10/2017 16:42

@waitingonasmile we've got most things now but mainly because we've been given stuff or had deals we couldn't miss. I probably wouldn't of if it wasn't for that and being told I'm high risk for preterm. Don't want to risk trying to balance christmas shopping, baby shopping and going into labour lol
