Where's my 34 weekers? How are we all feeling!

[bowgumdrop2018]

Due July 14th how are we all feeling? I'm rather crampy in and out of maternity triage for reduced movements or being really swollen then bumping my poor bump on a cabinet 🙈 But I'm still here still going strong king off 😂 - this heat 😩

*kind

I'm due July 12th. Omg this heat is killing me. Im like you in and out with reduced movements. Also insomnia has been awful. In the last week I've literally slept 40minutes a night it was starting to really grind me down. Along with crutches for my SPD and high blood pressure in ready for the end run.

Between swollen feet headaches ridiculously warm body temp this summer is kicking my butt :( thank gods for ice pops.

34 weeks here - due July 17th. Sorry to hear you've been having problems, hope everything is better now. Bumping into things happens more often than you think, I'm forever catching my belly on the door handles!

I've got to have a growth scan as my bump is measuring 3 weeks behind... although the MW did say that it's probably because DS was being exceptionally wriggly and kept moving out the way when she was trying to feel him etc. But I seem to remember being much bigger at this point last time, so maybe he is smaller.

My 4yo DD is at preschool all day today, which is nice (for both of us). But I've got to do the washing at some point and the idea of walking up the stairs...!

@CoodleMoodle
I've had a growth scan twice in past 2 weeks also for measuring to big little one is now measuring 5lbs12oz already ! So I think I'm going to have a big one mind you growth scans can be off so who's knows! And it was awful I felt so bad a giant moth cane flying towards me and I jumped out the way and smacked my bump on the chest of drawers that hard it lifted off the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️ But all was okay with baby so😌 well I hope your scan goes okay good luck 🤗

@RosieCotton
I feel you 🤗 This heat is really causing me issues I can hardly leave the house because I just can't cope with it my body literally sweats from everywhere it's horrendous having to sit down every 5 mins when out but we are nearly there 😌 And yes my feet are like professor clump so don't you worry 🤦🏻‍♀️ That must be awful! Couldn't imagine not being able to sleep the whole night I feel for you I hope it gets better

I'm July 8th - so 35 weeks. Getting really fed up tbh. The heat is awful.Just can't be in it. Makes me feel really sick. Plus I find if I don't keep active my hips and back ache so if I stay out the sun and don't go for a walk then I get pain. Also I can't sit or lie on slouchy or soft surfaces very long as the baby is really high and pushes on my lungs making me really breathless. I'm not sleeping well either. Can get a few hours but thats it. I don't feel that tired but I am quite ratty and emotional so I think I must be... Plus the heartburn , constipation and almost total loss of appetite!

I've actually pushed my mat leave back a week as I am literally most comfortable at work in a cool room on a proper chair where my mind is busy. Thank goodness for hormones as I think they are definitely helping me through this. Its difficult but I think I would have broken down now in normal circumstances!

Really excited about meeting the baby though.

Hi all! I'm also due on 17 July (hey there CoodleMoodle!) and also having extra monitoring for low growth (last growth scan showed him on 10th centile) and reduced movement - have to go in for CTGs twice a week. Seems to happen to a lot of us! I actually feel pretty good in myself, so I feel a bit strange - because I keep having to have all these extra appointments everyone keeps assuming I'm having a really tough pregnancy, and that's a bit true mentally but not really physically.
