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...

Thank you!

I have been gettinf lots and aches pains lower back etc
Would be nice to have him before induction

Found nipple stimulation does give me lots of pains. Dont know if they are doing anything though

Ive got appt with local mw on thurs will ask her for sweep as induction is a few days later

How are you and lil one

@LostMyBaubles hopefully all the aches and pains are doing something we are not too bad mw just away not getting discharged until next week as amelia isnt back up to her birth weight just yet but not far off it which is good

Aww bless her, how are you finding breastfeeding?
Any tips?

BF is going okay finding it tough when she cluster feeds which the past couple of days has been all day take each feed as it comes and ask for help from you mw or hv

Im hoping it goes nice and smoothly this time round
I think im assuming but in reality think ive just been too tired/ busy to do so

Boobs are leaking like mad prob due to the stimulation but its reasurring to see they arent empty lol
(Sorry tmi lol )

Thats a good sign theres plenty of milk to get you started

I hope so!

Been doing lots of cleaning today 😁

Hopefully youll have baby by this time next week!!!!

@lost sounds like the stimulation is helping getting things going, crazy how things are connected.
Thanks for the bf tips @lmx0 , so are you and Amelia still at the hospital? Sorry, not sure how it works.

Just rubbed some magnesium spray on my legs my restless legs are driving me insane! 34 weeks tomorrow and last week at work next week thank god

Im due to go in next Sunday
Will be setting off earlier to have a meal out before baby arrives 😊

Slim did the spray work?

Im sure lmx0 is home?

Lots of movements today all over the placw.
Hope hes not moved out of position!

Had contractions every 5 mins for an hour and now nothing

Goimg to try a walk later

Had hot bath last night, the nipple thing doing a few times during day and dtd once a day.

No point trying hot curries as we eat a lot of them anyway lol

@SlimGin no we are home got home last thurs hope the spray helps!!
@LostMyBaubles thats a good plan awwww no way hope they pick up for u again

@Lostmybaubles totally sympathise - 9 days ago I had 4 hours of contractions from midnight til 4 which were two minutes apart and lasting 45 seconds each. Got in the car to go to hospital and they stopped. Went in anyway and got told I was 3 cm dilated and to come back, but they haven't picked up since. Due on Tuesday so just waiting it out as midwife says she will give me a sweep then

Mam thats so shit. Atleast youve dilated a little
Im beinf induced next week so trying to make cervix favourable for induction so hopefully ive dilated enough to go straight to delivery for waters to be broken!

I see local mw on thurs will be bang on 37 weeks. Will ask her for sweep too 3 days before induction

Imx0 do you have help during the day?

Just come back from walk in park.
Played some football lol
Now im shaking

@LostMyBaubles dh has been off work but is back on Monday 😭 but my mum is coming on Monday to do a few jobs for me

Ah glad you're home @lmx0, think I got confused somewhere! Lovely that your mum will be around to help.
@lost god no idea what else you can try. Bouncy ball? More sex?
The spray may have worked I did sleep fairly well last night but could just be tiredness. Will put it on after my bath. I'm Hopefully buying a (first) car tomorrow - feel like I'm rushing to get everything done but think it's quite necessary to do it while I'm still able. I hope bristol's prepared for all my stalling!

More sex. Id actually like more lol but dh is scared of hurting us both (4th dc you'd think he'd know by now lol)

Walking has set some more pains off. Cant wait to sit in a hot bath again tonight!

Imx0 did you find any baby grouos nearby? Maybe a baby massage group will help you fill your time? And make new friends

Slim ahh get driving as much as possible for practice before baby comes.
We have bought a bigger car which I hate.

Im just not comfy driving it and haven't for a while now. Hopefully its just due to my size!

@SlimGin yeah im glad she will here even if it is just one day your just right to try and get everything done now while you can no point in leaving it to last min n stressing about it
@LostMyBaubles youd think he would be jumping at the chance!!! Yes there a mums & tots beside me must have a look n see what else there is i like the sound of baby massage must see if there any here

Baby massage is very useful for bonding with baby but also making friends

@LostMyBaubles how are you?

Feel really shit atm

Think ive lost some plug

Feel sick

Hope you feel better soon!!

Thank you
How are you getting on?
