we are indeed.... and boy do i feel it!

Feeling really bloated at the moment.... pay have something to do with the pie and cheesy chips ive just scoffed!

baby kicking me so hard it hurts sometimes.... a realy little footballer in there me thinks!

fastasleep · 18/07/2005 18:53

Sophia hurts too sometimes... I'm a right bloater.. saw myself in the mirrored back of a lift today and thought 'oh god...' lol

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 18/07/2005 18:57

scary to think there isnt much tome left now.... just keep thinking that at the most i have 15 weeks left (2 weeks over due) and so much to do in that time! Jess's birthday, mum's death anniversary, my birthday, holiday for me and jess holiday with my dad..... DH knee operation.... move house..... you name it!

fastasleep · 18/07/2005 18:58

Yikes I'm just scared at the thought of making sure Theo has totally vacated his cot by the time Sophia comes, nevermind anything else... I'm trying not to think about dates... I have to get the house clean enough to give birth in!!

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 18/07/2005 19:04

lol - i know that feeling.... think i might TRY for a homebirth, but if i want to be a wuss and go to hospital i will!

jess is no where near ready to come out of her cot yet, so looks like 2 cots are in order! Good job the army provides at least 1 so we MAY have to buy another one, if not the army will supply it - there are some perks to being a military wife!

fastasleep · 18/07/2005 19:14

Visions of it being green with cargo netting down the front.... oh I have a headache I'm being daft tonight... going to go soak my head in the bath (oow!)

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 18/07/2005 19:15

that would be quite cool!!! Nah, just a bog standard cot im afraid!

munz · 18/07/2005 19:32

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 18/07/2005 19:33

ok sorry hun.... my mistake- baby brain!

morningpaper · 18/07/2005 20:43

RODEO1 THAT IS DISGUSTING!!!

Tania2 so glad that things are going well for you!! Congrats.

I also keep spotting myself in mirrors and thinking *!"?"!" I AM PREGNANT!

Baby keeps waking me up at 3am to kick the hell out of me - although DH STILL hasn't felt it move because she lies still as soon as he shows an interest! So annoying. The kicking in the night is VERY VERY uncomfy indeed. I also get the occasional VERY STRONG Braxton Hicks which I've not had before. Makes me panic a bit and feels like I'm lugging a cement mixer around on my tummy.

Piggiesmum · 18/07/2005 21:31

mp - I get those early morning wake up kicks/activity too. People keep telling me he's preparing me for all the disprupted sleep to come.

Not had any problems with pee bottles, the hospital has them stacked up in a nice pyramid on reception and you just help yourselves

Finally had to give in and buy some maternity clothes this weekend. Now I really feel properly pregnant instead of just fat lol

BigBumpBonnie · 18/07/2005 21:39

gosh piggiesmum, I've been wearing maternity clothes for ages now, even they're getting too tight

My baby is kicking like mad and I'm getting tons of Braxton Hicks that do hurt a bit. I'm starting to get really tired now and finding it hard coping with my two year old (who seems to be getting naughtier by the day!)

I've got a christening to go to in the middle of August which I'm dreading. It's down South (we live North) and it means staying on an airbed for the weekend at my bils. Normally would be looking forward to it, but apparantly there's going to be a heatwave plus I've got NOTHING to wear and don't fancy the five hour drive!

I started pre pregnancy at 10stone and now weigh 11st 4lb. Has anyone else been brave enough to weigh or do you get weighed at midwife apt. (I never have).

Re: pee bottles, my midwife told me they can't empty them down the sink as if they do this repeatedly it damages the drains!!! I have to take mine home to empty it and use again, which I hate doing (especially when I forget it's in my bag and come across it at a later date )

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 18/07/2005 22:19

ive been in maternity clothes from about 12 weeks!

feeling really tired all of a sudden too - as well as the urge to EAT EAT EAT - i cant stop - especially sweet stuff! Dread to think how much weight ive put on - im not brave enough to weigh myself because i know im a bloater!

Joseyjo · 18/07/2005 22:21

i am also outgrowing all my maternity clothes... quite depressing really. i think it is mostly because i inherited lots of them from people who were thinner than me to start with!!!
i started at 9st10 and am now 11st4!! got quite upset when i hit 11st, but i am putting on about 1lb a week which is supposed to be normal. i am really feeling the extra weight though - my ankles are swollen and my hips ache . other than that i am fine!!!
my mw tips my wee down the sink - maybe she shouldn't..

also watched desperate midwives this evening as dh went out. the worst bit about it was the fact that they never stop touching the poor women. i HATE strangers touching me and the idea of being woken up by some random women stroking my face makes me want to scream. i appreciate that this is probably just me, but i am now dreading my minimum 4 day stay is hospital. anyway am really tired today and need to go to sleep now - looking forward to my lovely long pillow thing that i bought in JL... great for hugging...

Joseyjo · 18/07/2005 22:23

sorry j&bmummy - crossed threads... me too on eating for britain. went to asda tonight and filled the trolly with sweets and chocolates and biscuits. i did buy lots of fruit as well, but only because i am soooo thirsty all the time that i want the juice!!

Piggiesmum · 19/07/2005 00:47

I've only got away with it cos most of my clothes are either stretchy fabric or elasticated waist type things but even they have a limit lol. I'm quite tall too so I think thats helped a bit, but the last couple of weeks seem to have suddenly caught up with me (or it could have somethingto do with all the cakes and biscuits we got in for the in-laws visit )

I haven't dared weigh myself though.

Elf1981 · 19/07/2005 07:20

Just weighed myself this morning and have put on 2lbs since last week, which is actually a good thing as I was swinging from not being bothered to stressing that I'd not put on any weight.

Got a bad tummy ache today, and my hips have been killing me for the last few days. Really don't feel well but had better drag my arse to work in a bit...

Oh and I got my earrings back!!

fastasleep · 19/07/2005 07:38

Yay for the earrings! I get nasty BH got one in a musuem yesterday, it just suddenly feels like carrying a 20 pound lead weight in there! Going all the way to Southport today on the train/bus/train/bus... might not be back till 7... my hips are still creaking audibly from yesterday lol!!

We're like a bunch of quickly ageing women!!

Jo I can't stand being just...touched..either.. I mean doing medical stuff is fine but stroking my face? Why would you want to? F**k off I say!

fastasleep · 19/07/2005 07:40

Piggiesmum I'm utterly shocked, my belly's poking out of all my maternity clothes!! Although I did only buy 2 maternity tops last time and just kept buying cheap ultra baggy stuff so it can be avoided, but you look even worse... (well, I did!)

hester · 19/07/2005 08:58

Morning all. This is a bit of a funny day for me because it was my EDD for the previous (lost) pregnancy. I don't feel exactly sad - after all, if I'd had that baby, I wouldn't be having this one, and this surely is the baby I was meant to have - but it does feel strange.

Am also off work because was very sick yesterday (at work - rather humiliating) then got a temperature. Still feeling very pukey.

Tania - it's brilliant to hear from you! I've thought about you and wondered how you were doing. Fantastic that you're expecting a girl. Do keep in touch with us, won't you?

Joseyjo - my EDD now moved to 17th october, which is what I always thought (in the circumstances, I think I KNOW when I got pg!) and finally my consultant agreed.

re. pee: can't believe they're fussing about tipping it down a sink! Can't believe a little urine eats through the drains - can't they just run a little water at the same time? Anyhow, you still don't need to carry it home; why not just tip it down the toilet on your way out of the hospital?

Am a little concerned that I don't seem to be getting kicks as strongly as the rest of you. My kicks never hurt, they never wake me up. I feel them regularly (specially first thing in the morning and last thing at night) but they're always quite gentle. is this normal? Is it because her little bent feet aren't as strong as your babies' feet?

fastasleep · 19/07/2005 09:09

Aww it could be that they aren't as strong..or it could just be that you're really well padded with placenta and uterus, (I'm not saying you're fat!) as long as you feel anything that you can identify as a kick then all's well... must be a weird day for you I hope you feel better soon, might be good that you're not at work today... have a nice relax if you can!

(Eep gotta rush) See you guys later!

SusiS · 19/07/2005 10:19

omg you girls have been busy

lots of kicks for me too! and just the same especially at 4am in the morning!!!

Joseyjo · 19/07/2005 12:33

hester - i think i know how you feel. this bubba is due (ie c-section is planned for) the same week that ds1 was born and died. not sure how i feel about that. obviously i can't do anything about it, but i am getting more and more emotional as the weeks pass anyway (definitely hormonal!!!) and am worried that the connection is going to be really odd.

anyway, will update stats again...
