Sweaty and fretty 3rd trimester volume 2

[KTD27]

Hi ladies
Feel free to come and moan / vent/ de-stress and rest those swollen feet here...

@LostMyBaubles i will take that on board thanks 😊 its funny how people forget the important details like that!!!

Its just little things that can make a big difference

Are you all packed?

Dc are at mums for the afternoon so I can rest a little. Was very tempted to get more cleaning done but think its time for bed

@LostMyBaubles ah that makes sense. Not long until your scan and possible c section. Have you had a c section before? Hope the spotting stops soon (sounds like it could be from DTD) and you enjoy your rest.

@lmx0 good luck today. Can't wait to hear when baby's arrived. Hope it's all relatively quick.

I've just had a bit of a nap. Still have headache but not quite as bad, my eyeballs actually feel sore. I'm going to drink some water and will have paracetamol later if no improvement. There's always something isn't there!

@LostMyBaubles it really is yes bags are packed and in the car if i need anything else dh can bring me it its pretty good you should take the chance to rest yourself!! Cleaning can always be done with dc at home

@rooella thank you!!

Turns out it wasn't nothing yesterday!

Alexandra arrived just before 9am this morning after a 7 hour labour.

Feel good despite having a second degree tear (had forceps and episiotomy last time so anything would be better!)

Never doing it again though!

@BoomBlastandRuin thats brilliant news massive congrats!! Glad your feeling well

Blast! Congrats!!!
Glad you are both ok

Imx0 any news on bed?

Ive been getting tightenings every 2-3 mins for around 20mins
Lastimg aroumf 30-45 secs

Last one was 8 mins apart but the pain after was really bad
Have lots of lower stomach pain

Going to have some paracetamol

Congratulations to our new arrivals and good luck mummy's waiting for their arrivals.

Which I was one of you 😍

@LostMyBaubles just arrived have some paracetamol and warm bath/shower and see if that helps if not id give triage a ring and see what they say

Hj

Imx0 oooo good luck!!!

The pain is now lower back and lower stomach with some tightenings. Not all are that painful

I dunno if they should be more painful as ive been induced 2x so the contractions are more painful on the drip

Did the paracetamol help?

@boomblast congratulations!! @lmx0 very best of luck!
Lots going on in this thread now! Wish you all the very best
I've nipped to my mums for her birthday, made use of the fact she's a midwife and got her to feel the bump to check baby's position and ask her any questions I can think of

Imx0 didn't have any lol
All gone now bar a little niggly pain
How are you getting on?

Slim bet thats useful!
If you see this while you are there can you ask about spotting (very light in mucus) at 34 weeks

@SlimGin might as well ask while your with her and thank you

Currently laying with trace on have the thingy in babys head is still high so prob take a while dh is just away home to get some kip

@LostMyBaubles thats just typical when u need them there is none but at least they have eased for you

How are you getting on imx0?

Tmi
Ive starter with piles 😭
Cant sit, cant stand and getting bloody pains too. Defo not happy this morning
Will try and get to tesco for anusol can't get through the day like this or have anothet night like last night

@LostMyBaubles awww no way they are the most awful things!!! Okay really uncomfortable and sore tightenings are getting a bit more closer and making themselves very well known!!

Thats good they are doing something!

Get some pain relief if you need it

Stay comfy as it could be a long ride!

Hubby-

My stomach, my penny and my back side hurts
Hubby-
Puts head down
Lol
men

@LostMyBaubles oh no what a time you're having. Yip men def don't understand!

@lmx0 hope things progress fairly quick. Like lost says take the pain relief if you need it.

@BoomBlastandRuin Congratulations, great news

I still have my headache and developed a temperature last night. I'm taking regular paracetamol but feel rubbish. Phoned maternity assessment this morning but they weren't really interested because baby seems ok. She said maybe I need my eyes tested! WTAF I didn't realise that caused high temp! I'm just phoned nhs 24 and have an appointment shortly. It's prob just a virus but I'd rather get checked.

Been given co-codamol (whatever way u spell it) cannot wait to get this pessary removed its awful uncomfortable for all the size of it!!
@LostMyBaubles men!!
@rooella thats the worst excuse ive ever heard!!! You done the right thing ringing nhs 24

Roella what did they say?
Hopefully its nothing too serious

Imx0
How are you getting on?
Hope you are ok

The iron has made me constipated. Going to speak to pharmacy about it and see if spatone will be any better. I started taking lactulose the day I started iron as a preventative which hasnt bloody worked

@LostMyBaubles yeah spatone might be gentler on your stomach or can you reduce the dose of iron if you hb was quite low? I tried that but still couldn't tolerate it and didn't like spatone so gp prescribed ferrous fumerate. It's been ok for me so far.

@lmx0 hope you're ok

I saw gp there was no sign of infection in urine or chest so thinks it might be viral. Only other symptom I have is headache. I feel awful when my temp increases. Paracetamol has been bringing it down a bit so I feel slightly better. It's not solving the headache and they wouldn't prescribe anything else.

She offered to prescribe antibiotics in case of urine infection although urine clear but i declined. I'm going to hand first morning sample in to surgery tomorrow.

The difficultly is my temp is now 39.3. I've not had any paracetamol since 1pm but I've already had 3 doses/possibly 4 doses in the last 24 hours. I've put a fan on to see if that will help. If not I'll call nhs 24 back. I've been sleeping on and off all afternoon and woke feeling terrible.

Sorry feel like such a moan!

Hi all. Im35 weeks today. For the past 2 days I've felt pressure and twinges to my cervix, when I walk baby feels heavier and my pelvis feels a little loose and light. I'm pretty sure baby is starting to engage.
At 32 weeks a scan showed my cervix was short and funneling, so I was told I could deliver early.
I'm happy baby seems to be getting in position and is head down (well he was at 33 weeks) but wondering if I could deliver in the next few weeks. Anyone else had a short, funnelled cervix and delivered early?
