Panic over I had some I put in his drawer in his room! Put them there for when I bathed him so I didn't have to go downstairs for one Grin must remember to get some this morning!!

And Ducky im 10 weeks. The trousers fit but are uncomfortable and I always end up undoing the button so it's not digging at me lol Wink

Oh Tori ur so lucky!! With DS even maternity clothes were too small for my extremely gigantic bump Grin even had to cut the elastic on my maternity trousers are they got too tight haha!! Can't believe ur 32 weeks already :) that's flown by.

I did that with my maternity trousers Cupcake! They're over the bump ones and I cut halfway down the piece of material but they're too small even so and now I don't know what to do with them because they're ruined but could probably do with being able to wear them after the birth...
The photo shoot was really fun and my friend's sending me the best photos soon Grin

Ducky23 · 04/04/2015 16:53

Cupcake how old was ds when you first started TTC? I was trying to figure it out earlier but I'm crap at maths Shock

Not very old at all lol! I wanted them close so they were like best friends :) DS was 8 months old when I started TTC. I expected it to take a couple of months and really the plan was to have one when he was 1 and a half. But he'll be 2 when this ones born which is absolutely fine :) intact I think it works out better tbh

There's 2 years between me and my brother and we have always got on fab Smile I think that's a nice age gap

lillamyy1 · 05/04/2015 00:52

Yes, it'll be easier for you having a 2 yr old Cupcake Smile
I think this baby's moved again and hasn't got any of his head in my pelvis now - he's got the hiccups and I can feel them on the side of my tummy Hmm

lillamyy1 · 05/04/2015 01:16

Tori, I've actually lost weight during pregnancy (apart from the belly obvs!) Not a lot, but I'm firmer and a bit slimmer - mainly on the bum, probably from carrying this big baby belly upstairs to the loo every half hour!!

Aw that's nice Ducky! :) yeah I'm preferring him being 2 now :) he will have just started nursery in September and by the time baby is here he'll be settled in. so that helps a lot. I'll get to spend time with baby whilst he's at nursery and hopefully he won't feel so jealous. Means I can nap when baby sleeps when DS is at nursery too Grin plus I'm hoping to go into labour in the week so my mom can take DS to nursery so she's not got him 24/7. Will deffo help her out.

Lill yes it'll deffo be easier :) and oo strange baby has wiggled out! Tell him to get that head back down there now ! :p
I hope I loose a bit of weight during pregnancy but I doubt it Grin my craving is chocolate This time! My god it seems the best thing in the world! With DS I couldn't eat chocolate it made me feel sick and the thought of it was awful, this time I love it! Lol Grin

Ahh in my maternity clothes today!! :D so happy! As I'm so so comfortable 1st time in a week! Yay!

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 05/04/2015 11:47

Oh no lil! I hope he wiggles back down! I said before, I don't know if it's because of what happened but dd dropped just before she was born, didn't feel nice at all, it was just like all of a sudden all my insides were punched and there was so much pressure down there Confused did mw say that could happen?

Ooooh how exciting cupcake Grin I miss my maternity stuff, I had some really funky stuff Grin I miss my bump too! Maybe it's because my belly is more jellyish now Shock it's starting to go though very very very very very slowly

lillamyy1 · 05/04/2015 12:41

Ah that must be such a relief Cupcake. I've gone full circle and now I'm uncomfortable in my maternity clothes because they don't fit over my big bump!!
Ducky, my midwife is a bit rubbish and doesn't really tell me much about what to expect etc but she did mention if he hasn't dropped by labour that my labour will probably be quite long Easter Confused
I have heard a few people say it feels really weird and uncomfortable when the baby drops... Although it's my due date on Friday coming so if he did drop by then at least I could ask for a sweep and hopefully get things moving.
Me and DP had a fall out again this morning Easter Sad He went out with some of our mutual friends and didn't come home until 7am! I was really worried and also Easter Angry because he didn't text or call me to tell me he'd be out all night and I couldn't sleep because I was worried! I tried to phone but his phone was off (it runs out of battery all the time and he always forgets to charge it). It turned out that he'd fallen asleep at our friend's house. The thing is I don't min him going out and even staying out all night because I knew who he was with but it was the fact that he didn't think to contact me to let me know. We've had so many arguments about exactly the same thing over the past 3 years he should know by now that I'll be upset and worried if he doesn't get in touch Easter Sad it just seems to me like he doesn't care enough about my feelings to think of texting or calling me Easter Sad

Ducky23 · 05/04/2015 13:25

Some midwifes really are rubbish! I got lucky the second time round I think, mine was so amazing.
That would really piss me off lil Hmm what if you had gone into labor!!! These men are bloody useless!!!

Lill!!! Omg!! Angry if u had gone into labour he would have completely missed the birth of his baby!!! N u could have easily gone into labour! Grr that would have rele annoyed me Angry

Omg cupcake that's an actual neat little bump!! Your guna have a whopper! Grin

Tori that is a cute bump Smile bet it will get bigger in the next couple of weeks though! Grin You will be resting your tea on it!

lillamyy1 · 05/04/2015 18:51

Wow, cupcake! Proper bump full of a lovely baby! Easter Grin
Tori, yours is so small for 32 weeks!! When I was 32 weeks I nearly looked full term and one woman asked me if I was expecting twins Easter Shock But they've said you're growing a big one? Are you quite tall? I'm short and I think that's why I look so enormous because no one seems concerned about my baby's size even though I've been measuring over for the last 6 weeks or so... Easter Hmm
But I'm starting to lose faith in my midwife and would really like an appointment with someone different but don't know how to request that without my midwife finding out...??

Ducky23 · 05/04/2015 19:03

Lil, speak to your gp, I don't know if it's the same where you are but where I am there is 3 mw that do the same area so you can pretty much pick which ones you want, or you can speak to the hospital and get one from there Smile it's very important your happy with your midwife

Ducky I'm very worried about how big baby will be! DS was 8lb 13oz! I wanted this one smaller lol! Grin and it must be rele hard for u seeing her Easter Hmm hope she's got the hint!

Thanks Tori, and wow ur bump is perfect!!! I wish Mine was like that!

Lill yeah speak to ur gp :) they'll tel u all u'll need to know :)
And I'm pretty happy I can see a bump as it means baby is growing in there.
Not long till my scan! Just wish I could have it exactly 12 weeks but I have to wait longer as they were full :( lol!

OP posts:
lillamyy1 · 05/04/2015 20:18

Aww Tori, he must be curled up small or maybe stretched out thin and hiding! Humph, that's not very good they're refusing to scan again? Although I guess it means they're not worried??
Yes cupcake it's great that you've got a good bump there, it's very reassuring Smile
I'll call the surgery on tues and see if I can have an appointment this coming week. It's kind of my fault as well for not asking all my questions when I went for my last appointment but I kind of didn't know what it was I didn't know so didn't know what to ask iyswim Easter Confused
DP and I have made up by the way, and tomorrow we're going to have a roast or picnic depending on weather Easter Grin
