September 2018 #4: 12 weeks scans and bumps appearing!

New thread for September 2018 due dates (and a few at the end of August)

Oh no @nightwispa, sorry to hear you've been signed off. I'm currently 29 +2 and really struggling with the heat. I'm dying for it to rain but apparently there's none scheduled for the next 2 weeks. I don't think I can take another 2 weeks of crap sleep. Having the windows open and the fan on are doing nothing. DH is fed up with me moaning and is ready to buy an air con unit.

How is everyone getting on?

Hey @ShutTheFridgeUp
I'm good thanks but struggling with sore hips and lower back. 34 weeks today so on the home stretch. Since yesterday the top of my bump has been really tight. Like I can feel the skin ripping. I'm scared I'm going to recreate that scene in Alien.

How is everyone else getting on?

Currently 36+3 and struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome. My hands really bloody hurt but other than that, not doing too badly really. Oh I do mostly find everything and everyone fucking annoying now though 😁

Oh @kirinm, that sounds awful.

Does anyone have any experience of maternity support belts? If so, which ones would you recommend? I'm struggling to walk now without lifting my belly up. I've been referred to physio today but with 5 weeks to go I doubt they'll see me in time.
