We are all due so close together :) I am 28 weeks on Sunday. We are on the home stretch now! I must say TGIF ? I am done in today, actually dunno how I am going to last the day out. I am hoping it is just because I am tired, been sick again today etc. So glad I have MW on Tues, as I get bloods taken, maybe it will show if my iron is low, I think it might be as I?m so shattered, ok so more like hoping so because then I can do something about it, if you know what I mean.
The 4D scan will be exciting ? tell us all about it! My friend had one last week, the wee bugger kept his/her hands in front of face the whole time. She said it was cool though.

Thankyou :) Il put pictures up tomoro evening :) Im more excited too as DSD is coming with is and my parents are meeting us back at home and im cooking them a roast tea

i didnt even realise 28 weeks = 3rd trimester! 28+3 today, its getting too close and I am freaking out!

On the upside, my midwife told me I have good strong stomach muscles (developed from 5 months of HG no doubt!) and a very low pelvic bone.

theonlyhb2 · 27/05/2011 22:47

oh, and winterlover, how was the scan?

WinterLover · 28/05/2011 08:47

theonlyhb Scan is at 3.30 today Grin Im like a kid a xmas

Eviepoo · 29/05/2011 18:53

How was scan winter lover?
How is everyone today? I'm just so fed up and down today. Sick of feeling crap and tired.

WinterLover · 29/05/2011 19:03

Hi Eviepoo scan was amazing, well worth the money :)

Why you so down today?

Eviepoo · 29/05/2011 19:29

I've been down for a while, struggling to pick myself up now. I've felt sick since 4.5 weeks, still taking anti-emetics and ranitidine and still feel crap. Vomited breakfast this morning. Felt sick for rest of the day. Not slept through a full night in that whole time since 4.5 weeks but just kept going and took naps when I could. I have had lot of emotional teary days but on the whole just kept at it thinking it wasn't forever. But this weekend just has floored me, like I've just reached the limit of how much I can cope with. Spent two hours crying yesterday, I felt so heavy I could not move. Today I spent most of day in bed. I feel like it's been a horrid waste of my weekend. They seem so precious now that evenings are spent resting as work is tiring me so much. Trying to explain this to DH is hard. He just keeps saying he is so sorry that the PG has taken it's toll on me. He is doing all the jobs too. My DD was so bored today but I just didn't even have energy to take her to movies. A sensible friend suggested I make a dr appointment and try explain this. I know I am on the home stretch now! Final trimester but when I think of twelve more weeks of this I feel so overwhelmed and tearful and don't know how I am going to make it.
I feel guilty as this is a very wanted and planned pregnancy but I am hating being pregnant.
I am also worried as nursery is not started yet
I have MW on tues and bloods might show low iron as that may explain the sudden increase in exhaustion.
I guess only other PG women understand this so I hope you don't mind my spilling
Oh and DH's cousin had her baby during the night, I am so jealous. Happy for her and that all is well but jealous because her PG was a breeze and she has a baby now and not PG anymore. Is that silly or a normal human feeling?
I want PG to be over but obviously don't want dragon to come out now as it's too soon.
Can someone put me to sleep for a few weeks please

Eviepoo · 29/05/2011 19:29

However on a positive note so glad your scan went well :)

AttillaTheMum · 29/05/2011 19:42

Im due on the 25th with DC2.

Can i join?

Eviepoo · 29/05/2011 20:21

Hello Attilla - of course hi to you

littlebrighteyes · 29/05/2011 20:22

oh Eviepoo ((((((((((((((((((((big hugs )))))))))))))

littlebrighteyes · 29/05/2011 20:23

hi attilla-im due day before you x

Rootatoot · 29/05/2011 21:32

Oh Eviepoo, so sorry you are feeling so crappy.

Good you're seeing MW and getting iron levels checked. It's something I'm looking forward to having checked when I see MW on Weds.

It's no wonder you feel down. Feeling tired all the time makes you feel down. Being sick is just miserable. So couple all that with looking after DD, feeling guilty for not having more energy for her & DH and still slogging it out at work sounds SH*Y!

Go see the doc. Get signed off if you need a proper rest honey.

Oh and our babies nursery is still my office, if it makes you feel better. We have to move all my furniture out, find a new home for it all, carpet the floor and get baby stuff in. I've bought next to nothing and still can't decide on a buggy. I'm finding denial is working quite well most days ;)

BIG HUGS & go see that doc okay?!

x

Rootatoot · 29/05/2011 21:33

And hello Attila :)

And glad scan went well Winterlover! What was it like? I'm curious. I've heard they're so detailed you will know what your baby looks like for sure. :)

theonlyhb2 · 30/05/2011 00:18

Evie i know how you feel. This week i have felt like a whale, Cant sleep yet so bloody tired. Tiredness makes my HG worse and have been puking everyday again. My hair looks dull and thin, my skin is terrible. And i am just overwhelmed still that we are gonna have a baby. I am excited but scared. I think its normal feeling like this now isnt it? Just seems like a lifetime i been pregnant for and missing so much. Just sold my Glastonbury ticket too so feel in mourning now! Hugs for you.

Winterlover did yr baby move lots in the scan? The thought of them scare me ha ha

today i went to primark and bought fat clothes, went to MAC so i can look alive, boots for pamper stuff and got a new bra. Went to pub tonight and felt normal for a while

WinterLover · 30/05/2011 09:10

The scan was lovely, baby moved a bit but was so good as s/he didnt put hands in front of face once :) Its scary how real they look (obviously) but when we saw it yawn and smile it was amazing :)

Well I had fun yesterday, my lovely cocker spaniel took me out and I ended up on the ground!! Had only 4 kicks in 4 -5 hours and then realised id maybe need anti-d so went to maternity ward to be checked out... didnt get home till 12.30 last night/this morning :( was there for 7.30! As soon as I got there mini me started kicking and didnt stop till I fell asleep. In the end all is ok, they took blood to see if I was producing anti-bodies and and will call me today if I need the jab.

Eviepoo · 30/05/2011 10:25

Glad you ok after your fall WL.

I just got back from seeing the dr. She was really nice and sympathetic but basically not much help. As I'm getting bloods done tomorrow they will see what they show. Other advise, consider going pt or finishing for mat leave earlier.

AttillaTheMum · 30/05/2011 16:16

Is anyone else planning on VBAC?

AttillaTheMum · 30/05/2011 16:16

i'm somewhat scared you see!

cant believe we are now in june already.......

hayesgirl · 02/06/2011 13:30

Hello - due 14th August with my first.

I'm hyper organised by nature and so I pretty much have everything - anything that isnt physically in the house has been ordered and I am waiting for it to arrive. Hubby is due to pain nursery in the next few weeks whilst he is off work.

Worst symptom - was nausea for first 14 weeks but now its heartburn! Its excruiating at times! cant stand gaviscon but at the moment its my best friend!

Most annoying thing - people that i dont really know patting my stomach and midwives that seem to just want to scare you! I have only put on about a stone in weight, my bump is fairly small compared to friends and people at my yoga class but she still insisted that I was measuring 3cm too big at 28cm... 2 weeks later a different midwife measured me at 27cm. I have actually decided to take everything they say with a pinch of salt and unless they have some concrete evidence that something is wrong I am ignoring their scare tactics! Oh other thing is...i am planning a home birth and I am so sick of people telling me that a home birth is not "normal" - until a few decades ago it was perfectly normal!!!! And....breathe....!! : )

Rootatoot · 02/06/2011 20:34

Hi Hayesgirl

I'm due 5 days after you. :) If you've finished organising your house, fancy popping round mine and sorting ours out ! ;)

We're not doing TOO badly I guess. We have to move my office and convert to a nursery but guess it'll get done when we have chance! I bought some nappies today and ordered pushchair so feel better for getting a couple of essentials sorted.

rooks14 · 03/06/2011 08:10

IT'S TOO HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remind me to plan what time of year i'm going to be this pregnant next time.....

WinterLover · 03/06/2011 08:30

rooks Im in agreement with you... far to sodding hot!!

Got our letting agents coming to 'inspect' the house this morning, I dont yet want them knowing im pregnant.. hmmm I thought it was going to be easy except i seem to have got bigger without noticing :( oh well if she notices Il have to deal with it..
