Joy of jjoys I've spent this afternoon with my heals to my arse, knees akimbo and a giant light being shone up my bag Hmm all is good though. #4 hated the monitor and kicked so much they couldn't get a decent trace. All this because I fell down the stairs yesterday and had some watery gushing and pinkish discharge.
The beauty of pregnancy. When is the glow meant to start?

Jellybabie3 · 19/02/2017 21:37

I'm 30+6...I think! 😂 This is baby number 4 and I'm struggling to keep up!
The stupidest thing is, I've fallen down the stairs during every pregnancy, this is the 2nd during this. You'd think I'd be more careful ConfusedHmm

Jellybabie3 · 19/02/2017 21:50

Wow. Baby number four. You are my hero Smile sounds like your alot tougher than alot of us moaners on here!! (I target that comment mainly at myself)

Haha unborn is my hero! She's on number 5!!

Smurfy23 · 19/02/2017 22:05

23 weeks here too. Accidentally slipped down some stairs yesterday, baby is fine and kicking away but I now have a huge purple bruised and sore bum to add to my list of woes!

Smurf123 · 19/02/2017 22:19

This thread makes me feel much better :-) glad I'm not the only one obsessively googling just about everything!

Jellybabie3 · 20/02/2017 10:09

Jelly if your at the docs anyway I'd pick up a water sample bottle just to be on the safe side. Water infections can be nasty at the best of times.

I'm ok just tired luckily my older DD has gone to her friends for two nights and my dad's off work and has offered to have the younger one a few days this week (half term here)

My older DD decided to get appendicitis a few week back. I haven't got over my week spent sleeping in a hospital chair yet.

Jellybabie3 · 20/02/2017 19:10

Thanks for the advice unborn and sorry to hear youve had it rough lately. I hope the break helps Flowers
I actually feel 'ok' today (as opposed to vomit central) despite not having a good nights sleep courtesy of my OH snoring. So today i am smiling and reminding myself every time someone gets on my boobs at work that im pregnant (yay!!) 3 weeks til 12week scan of my sproglet 😀

UnbornMortificado · 20/02/2017 20:20

Thanks Jelly, I am quite lucky as I have supportive parents close by.

I find things ease up after the first 12 weeks. There can't be much in between us, I'm exactly 9 weeks today (according to the early scan) I have my 12 week on the 17th of march.

Pleased you have had a better day today, I'm jealous of all these glowing pregnant women I just look slightly green lately.

Charlieislovely · 20/02/2017 20:31

23 weeks and apart from constantly eating chocolate/biscuits/sweets feeling pretty good! Am waiting to feel like some of you ladies though, doubt I'll feel good at 30 or so weeks. Happy Monday x

Jellybabie3 · 20/02/2017 20:31

Oh that is good. I hit 9 weeks on saturday so we are close ☺ although number one for me so abit of a rabbit in headlights atm hence the daft questions about every twinge. I am amazed how much some women have put themselves through to have more babies hearing how poorly they felt on their first/second. I am trying not to moan in light of that (but pregnancy is not fun and i can only assume a plimsol wearing penis came up with the term 'morning' sickness.....)

Well this is my second but DD was almost my only I hated pregnancy that much, and this is definitely my last.

37+6 & feel like this boy is trying to use his head like the drill that cut the Channel Tunnel.

Notanotherpawpatrol · 20/02/2017 21:17

Jelly forget about what other people are doing and have been through, you are entitled to your feelings, they are your feelings!

kep1979 · 20/02/2017 21:19

9+2 here, feeling awful, and major scanxiety for private scan/Harmony test on Saturday. Pregnancy number five, hoping for baby number four.... and will be the last! Cannot wait for the exhaustion to bugger off for a few weeks. And would be nice to stop vomiting too.

UnbornMortificado · 21/02/2017 09:08

I don't think there's any daft question's when it comes to pregnancy. Having 20 odd kids (slight exaggeration) doesn't make you some pregnancy guru, every pregnancy is different and your questions and concerns are perfectly valid.

I like* plimsol wearing penis* Grin

I couldn't agree more unborn. I'm expecting dc5 too & find I have just as many worries as I did with dc1.

UnbornMortificado · 21/02/2017 15:00

It will all be worth it in the end.

I'm getting some practice in (can't put a proper photo as it me niece) even after loads you forget how little they are.

High five for getting through another week all ☺

I don't either to be fair. They are sturdier then they look.

My youngest is 4 and loads of guidelines have changed, the nappys now have a line down the middle which turn blue when wet.

You lie them feet to the bottom of the cot aswell and it used to be in the middle. I'm going to have to read a book or something I think.

Jellybabie3 · 21/02/2017 16:22

Oh jesus. I thought i was done check for blue lines on pee.....
