Due is Feb 2005 Part 2

[Momof2]

The last thread seems a bit full so I thought perhaps it is time to start a new one

Glad you asked about the ribs Nic72. I am seeing my midwife tomorrow and will have to ask her about that as I am finding the discomfort a bit too much. I am due in March so feel its a very long way to go with pains like these!

Sorry about sp Nik72

God i'm knackered!
Feel like all i do is runa round cleaning, my back is KILLING. By the time i get dd to bed at 7.30, i can hardly walk, just seizes up!!
I too am finding not much room for my ribs and the heartburn is constant too!
This is a miserable day!

Me too, pulled my first ever sickie on friday when I just couldn't face going into work. Wondering whether going on maternity leave at 37 weeks is a bit optimistic! Feel like a right moaning minnie too but I'm so SORE!

Hi everyone!

I'm due anytime between the 27th Feb and the 2nd March 05 (keep getting different dates). I'm 25 in May and my DH is 33, this is our first baby. My pregnancy has been ok, not been sick or too tired. Have suffered from panic attacks for a number of years now and they've gotten worse with being pregnant, just hope once i've had baby they will settle down again. Either way i'm trying hard to work through them and not let them ruin my dream of being a mother! I'm based in Derby.

Currently I have heartburn and am starting to feel heavy and tired. Maternity leave starts in 3 weeks and takes me through to next September!

hi im due in feb 2005, only three months to go. we are moving to brighton and i know nobody there. i have a 2.5 year old. does anyone know of any decent toddler groups or antenatal classes? i would really appreciate this. thanks

Hi everyone. hope you're all well. I haven't posted anything for ages because it took me this long to work out where this thread had gone to! Anyway, I'm fine - in the middle of buil;ding work which is always fun whilst 29 wks pregnant with 2 under 4s, but it'll look good when it's done. I'm really hormonal though. I'm wondering if the baby's sex has anything to do with it? Any ideas? I don't know what it is, but I'm really tearful and sometimes irritable. I'm also still being morning sick. I had a similar pregnancy with my second - a girl, but wonder if it just gets more marked every pregnancy? I did think I'd have 4, but can't imagine doing this again, as wonderful as feeling the baby kick is. I feel absolutely heffalumpish and my 3yo son told me I looked like a hippo the other day!! To be honest he's not far wrong!

looks like we're all feling the strain lately then!!

I know what you mean laa, i think i want a few, (this is second), but at the moment i just think i'm NEVER doing this again! I hate that i can't do things with dd. There's an open air ice rink this year but i can't go with her
It's lovely to feel the baby moving (CONSTANTLY, tis very active), but along with sicky feelings and constant heartburn i just feel like a right whinge at the moment!!

I know what you all mean, I've taken to bursting into tears at the slightest thing. Think it must be the lack of sleep, i've started getting terible aches in both my hips in the middle of the night which tend to wake me up.

I can see from all these recent posts that I have been very lucky (so far,) as aside from some mild heartburn things have been pretty good - it's just that I keep bursting into tears all the time! DP has had to go away for a few days for work and I have felt dreadfull ever since - I don't like feeling so fragile and needy (usually an empty house is a cause for celebration: long baths, star-shaped sleeping positions and girls dvd nights) but I'm just not able to get motivated - it's not like me at all.

I'm sorry that some of you sound like you are having such a tough time physically - if it makes you feel any better - with this pregnancy, I seem to experience things later than most - so I'm sure my time will come soon!

well i thought i lost this thread too i have just started a thread called 28 weeks pg an slight blood loss if any one there wants too read it .hope your all well jolly4

OOh can I have a moan too ?! Am having night hip pain too (usually when I've 'done a bit too much' - quoting my mum there !) and suddenly appear to have got morning sickness at 29 weeks as threw up all yesterday morning and this morning. Wanted to stay in bed all day but have decorators in all over the house so managed to come into work (just got in and going to leave early)but guess I've had an easy time of it so far so it had to happen at some point... As for being emotional dh realised at the end of last week that he has an unavoidable work thing on which means he can't come to our first NCT class despite knowing about it since september and so got the full brunt of emotional needy pregnant wife unleashed friday and saturday !
Oh well guess there's not too much longer to go (gulp !)... On the plus side really enjoy feeling the kicks and we almost came to a decision on prams/ nursery furniture yesterday so who knows we might even have bought it by the time db arrives !

Hurrah! Managed to get DS and DD in bed this a'noon for a sleep. Very rare event. My house is freezing cos no CH but who cares! It's quiet! Sorry to hear about aches and pains but glad that I'm not alone. I'm wearing this tubigrip thing tohold my pelvis in place and it's itching my tummy like crazy. Got a pair of crutches too, but feel a bit victim-y using them and anyway, pushing a buggy and buggyboard with a 20 mo old and 3.5 yo kind of rules out crutches anyway. On the plus side, my physio has banned me from housework. Tough one that. So DH is doing a marvellous vacuuming job. I also don't seem to be able to do the washing up in the bath (no kitchen sink at the mo) so poor old DH is having to do that too. I have pointed out that it's a fair trade off for all the nighttime breastfeeds I'll have to do soon..! Not that he's complaining because he's been totally wonderful in the face of my hormonanl onslaught. Better stop now or I'll get all tearful about just how wonderful he's been....!!

Just found this thread again........yippee, I am 28wks this week and have the most horrid pain just under breasts, near my ribs. Also when I sleep I get this acid burning sensation in my throat.........anybody else get this or know what it is??? i am still working full time as this is our first baby and hate the daily commute in via tube, nobody ever offers a seat, people are so inconsiderate!!

I couldn't sleep last night and was so hungry that I got up at 2am and started raiding the fridge....am so ashamed!!! Have turned into a human eating machine...hope the bump appreciates it!

I totaly sympathise with you Sana - have given up waiting for people to offer a seat on the Tube - I just ask for one of the 'disabled' seat by the doors at the middle of the carridge - I think most people are too embarrassed to ask if you want a seat but once you ask they get up staright away - no one has complained so far! (my British Rail journey is much much worse!)

Hi All.
Wow looks like there are LOADS of us due in Feb now. My tubby grip seems to be doing its job - glad I am not the only one having to wear one Laa! In the middle of the night though I keep getting bum cramp - how odd is that? DP doesn't believe me and just laughs!
Its so nice not doing the housework and DP even did the weekly grocery shopping on his own this week (oh and I took a sickie too - just too tired to be bothered on Monday)
Lots of people telling me I look like I am blooming, which is nice.
When are people thinking of giving up work? I was planning to go through until beginning of Feb - when I am about 38 weeks, but wondering at the feasibility of this.

Nik72 - Laughed and laughed about the human eating machine. I have been doing to biscuit tin raids for a while now in the middle of the night

Sana - if you prop yourself up a bit - like with a few more pillows - then that might help this way your head is higher than your stomach. Might get this wrong, but basically the pressure of the baby is on your stomach and pushing the acid up and if you lie down then it travels up your throat, if you sit up a bit then it should ease it as it sort of flows back again (Dr Momof2!). WIth my 1st pregnancy I struggled through with that awful acid burning sensation, but this time I mentioned it to my midwife and she got the Dr to write a prescription for gaviscon (free if its on prescription) I also use Tesco's indigestion tablets (washed down with milk as they taste fairly revolting)

well thanks for showing us the thread back again well now 29 weeks not that long really i must say i cant wait till it is over got a leetter yesterday saying they picked up strep b in a swab they took as i had a slight bleed last week in ozzy overnight but ok now this strep b thing scared me though found a thread on it very interesting dont know if you heard of it just want a healthy baby i finished work now on the sick but i am a cook an on my feet all day an its heavy work well hope all is well with evry 1 else seeya x

Thank you Momof2, hate going to sleep these days because of the acid, yuk!! also beginning to find it difficult to get comfortable all of a sudden, i seem to wake up most mornings on my stomach, not good, consdiering i have huge bump, sure am harming the baby but no way to resolve this unless i stop sleeping.....

everyone getting hungrier????? i am def turning into a eating machine, will eat anything in large volumes, going through a doughnut phase at the moment........i dont know about the rest of u but I am putiing on toooooooooo much weight and normally i am really slim, cant even imagine what I am going to look like after the baby but probably as if am pg!!

Hi ladies just popped over from due Jan thread. Sana i know about getting hungrier it's a nightmare but try and eat little amounts especially later in the day as this will be adding to you getting the acid (heartburn) sensation when you go to bed. I have suffered with it for about 7 weeks now and the only thing that eases it is to take gaviscon whenever i get it, which is pretty much all day long
I take a dose before i go to bed too and hope slepp comes before it wears off!

Hi Sana & fufmum, have you been to the doctors about the acid/heartburn? I went a few weeks ago and was given something like 'metoxalin' or something like that, huge bottle of chalk like liquid, but it stops it immediately and one mouthful gets me through the entire night...absolutely fab stuff and free on prescription!

I'm taking tums and rennie for heartburn and they work ok, find sweet stuff makes me heartburn worse. Have also started eating like a pig the last few weeks! I blame the baby completely!
