Wondering how others are feeling?
Been so lucky.. had no symptoms and still very mobile. Sleep isn’t great but hey ho! I’m not the only one.
Looking forward to hearing from others πŸ’œ

Nope I'm not at that stage yet but I really wish I was haha!! 25+6 here and literally counting down the hours in horrendous agony with my back/hips and sleeping is just a thing of the past! What even is that? Lol. Is this your 1st? Xx

Kate3150 · 19/10/2019 20:46

@Boymummy3- Yes it’s my first... im SO GRUMPY on little sleep.... I’ve only had 2 days of broken really and I feel so 🀬 today lol. Any tips on how to keep going?
What number is this for you? Do you know what you’re having?
Each stage I get to I want to be a bit further πŸ˜‚. I thought I’d be quite content at 32 weeks but nope want to be further along all time time!!! X

32 weeks here with no2 and struggling 😩😩😩😩. DS1 was nothing like this my hips and back are in agony πŸ™ˆ not too long to go now though! I will be having my section at 37/38 weeks and i am well ready now lol.

(I say ready I still need to by baby any clothes nappies etc and haven't even thought about a hospital bag πŸ˜‚) xx

Kate3150 · 19/10/2019 22:17

@Shaunieh95- I’m also having a section but will be at 39 weeks. You really haven’t got long to go then. I looked on the NHS website to see what they suggest to pack and there’s so much stuff πŸ₯΄.... not sure I will bother with it all to be honest. This is my first and I think I have too much time to think about things. I’m just so conscious of him being ok in there and I worry so much... roll on Dec!!!! X

I'm almost 31 weeks with my second and can't wait for him to be here. My first pregnancy was a dream, no sickness, aches or anything. This one has been complete opposite. I'm due on Christmas eve but hoping he arrives a few days early.
I found I didn't need nearly as much stuff for my hospital bag as all the lists suggest. Just make sure you have plenty of snacks for after the birth. I didn't get out of surgery until midnight with my first and was starving. Was so glad I had packed lots of cereal bars!

ohdearymemumof3 · 20/10/2019 00:39

32+1 with baby #3.. back and leg aches are doing my head in😫 i also have rather broken sleep but thats due to my 20 month old still waking up like a newborn every nightπŸ˜₯.. i haven't packed my hospital bag either and still have a bit left to get for babyπŸ™„ ..

I am glad your doing well @Kate3150 apart from the sleep😘 xx

lovebeingmum9 · 20/10/2019 06:17

Hiya I'm 33+5 with our 4th and feeling it now! booked in for induction on due date 3rd of dec,I've had low iron and blood pressure this pregnancy so feel exhausted with fatigue some days! I made a start on my hospital bag only yesterday and felt a bit overwhelmed getting it all ready.....sleep is broken and baby seems to wake me up with all his wriggling at 3am.....then our 2yr old wakes at around 5:30am but at least they are preparing me for night feeds lol

Nervousdave · 20/10/2019 08:33

Hi, I'm 32+3 with my first, feeling heavier and more awkward every day! Sleep being affected, mostly cos my back and hips hurt when I lie down, so I roll over to switch sides, and my whole back cracks and crunches when I do! Loving the feeling of baby moving though, even though hes often in my ribs and it sometimes hurts, just reassuring that hes all good in there 😍 we've just sorted out everything for baby (except more nappies) but havent even thought about hospital bag yet πŸ™ˆ I'm just assuming I'll go really late, all of my family were the full 2 weeks over!

mistermagpie · 20/10/2019 12:32

33+6 with my third and I've done nothing and bought nothing. I'm not a planner by nature, my DH packed my hospital bag while I was in labour with DS1 and I've never felt the need to find out the sex.

I've been feeling it this time though, after breezing through my last two pregnancies, my body is done I think! I've had bleeding on and off too which is frustrating as they can't ever find a reason for it. Going camping tomorrow, which is a ridiculous idea but I've nobody to blame but myself because I suggested it!

Kate3150 · 20/10/2019 17:54

@ohdearymemumof3- HEY!!! So lovely to see you on here. How’s things going? I’m thinking of using a little wheelie suitcase for my things? I’m not really a bag person when we travel other than a rucksack which won’t be big enough. X

It seems a lot of us are feeling the same at this stage, sleep not brilliant 😫. X

@Kate3150 things are okay thankyou i have a midwife app on thursday where she will measure my bump for the first time which i am interested about because i feel like im smaller at this stage than i was with the last 2 pregnancies, i dont know haa.. how are you?😘.. yes i was going to use a small wheelie suitcase too, more convenient to drag along i thinkπŸ‘ŒπŸΌ..x

Jollymollyx · 20/10/2019 21:07

Hi! 30 + 3 weeks here. Third pregnancy so body has just physically feeling worn out, lots of pelvic and back pain. Have a cold coming on and not organised yet! Hoping to sort everything out in the next month Hmm

Kate3150 · 21/10/2019 12:10

@ohdearymemumof3- oh my gosh. I also have a midwife appt on Thursday πŸ˜‚. Having my flu jab tomorrow aswell... never had one before hope I don’t have any kind of reaction to it.
I’m doing okay thanks, time is going pretty quickly now thank goodness. Think I’ve maybe relaxed slightly but still can’t wait until he’s here xx

33 weeks here. Pregnancy has been miserable! Have had HG since week 5 and am so tired! Finish line in sight now though.
My top tip for hospital bags would be to pack two. A labour bag and a ward bag. Labour can have things like essential toiletries, a straw!, a nightdress or whatever you want to give birth in etc with just the one baby outfit. For the ward (just in case) some extra toiletries, drinks, snacks, pyjamas or comfy clothes and baby supplies like nappies, wipes, clothes etc.

Tamtam86 · 21/10/2019 16:06

I'm 32 weeks on Thursday! This will be my 2nd baby, DD is almost 18 months. I'm absolutely shattered! I'm still moving around without much pain but this pregnancy has been a lot more exhausting and I feel like I'm already running on empty Confused I've been anaemic so that hasn't helped, and over the last week I've come out in eczema all over my body!

But I am very disorganised so still need a while longer to get everything ready!!

ohdearymemumof3 · 22/10/2019 20:23

@Kate3150 .. Awh do you reallyπŸ™ˆ we will have to let each other know how it went!.. i had my flu and whooping cough jab last week and my arms were sore for about 2 days it done my head in! The night i had the jabs i couldn't even sleep with any pressure on my armsπŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ how did you find the jab?.. yes deffo relax we are nearly at the end now😍.. xx

MumsyMum31 · 23/10/2019 06:23

Hi everyone 31 weeks here, 2nd successful pregnancy, have been feeling great until last couple of weeks I’m tired and my bump has become huge!!! Was with consultant on Monday and apparently baby is over 5lb!! I know they can get this wrong, but it has worried me so much as OH works overseas and has 1 trip left before baby and I’m terrified I go early!! I can’t see how my bump can get much bigger!!! Plus I have a lot of pressure and finding it harder to walk etc! Have baby’s bag packed but need to sort my own stuff. I intend to do that when I finish up work next week!! I’m taking 2 weekend bags one for baby and one for me and if you intend to breast feed my top tip is put in some good nipple cream!! Lol

grandmatakemehomeee · 23/10/2019 06:38

Also 32 weeks, with number 3. Weirdly been easier this time except catching every cough and cold going so constantly feel like I'm running on empty.

Both children were early, second came naturally at 36 so literally counting down the weeks hoping the same will happen πŸ™ƒ

Kate3150 · 23/10/2019 09:13

@ohdearymemumof3- I actually found the jab fine... I was expecting the worse as my arm was so so sore after the whooping cough but luckily this one seems to be ok 🀞🏻.
Is your little one moving a lot? This week mines gone crazy ha ha... I love putting hand on tummy and actually feeling his little foot kicking. It’s so amazing this stage of pregnancy.... it’s getting harder but I’m loving watching all the weird and wonderful things my tummy is doing.
@MumsyMum31- Oh wow you sound pretty organised, I think I’ve got such a long list rather than crack on with it I keep ignoring it πŸ˜‚. Are you having more scans? It’s that how they’re able to tell Bubs size? I feel my bump is growing VERY fast now.. I’m 32+3 today 😬 x

MumsyMum31 · 23/10/2019 10:42

@Kate3150 I started buying nappies etc when I saw them on offer, I actually bought bigger vests and babygrows yday as I’m thinking this baby may be bigger than my last!! I still have things to organise but I just bought bit by bit. I had a scan due to having a low placenta at 21 week scan but thankfully it has moved up. They want to see me every 2 weeks now to monitor growth as baby is big. I’m hoping it was just a growth spurt as I can’t eat a lot as there’s no room!! Don’t panic about hospital bag but just buy a few bits and bobs if you’re out and about. I’m thinking about Christmas too as we’ll all be welcoming our little bundles very close to the festive season. I am going to start my Christmas shopping and Santa when I finish work next week! I save in a tin all year for that so I’m just going to do it all in one go!! Another box ticked!!

ohdearymemumof3 · 24/10/2019 03:33

@Kate3150 oh thats good then i had both of mine at the same timeπŸ˜‘ im glad it didnt hurt you😘.. yeahhhh mines moving a lot too it feels so strange now doesn't it haha but a lovely feeling! 😍.. got the midwife today haven't we, mines at 11am so let you no how mine went later😘xx

Starrynights86 · 24/10/2019 03:35

32 weeks here and was doing really well but have just started to get really bad indigestion and to get tired. Having broken sleep as waking up in the night from the indigestion. Last pregnancy I had horrendous indigestion and felt ill the whole time so at least it’s only starting now but four more weeks til maternity leave starts and I am counting down.

December2019 · 24/10/2019 06:32

Hey lovelies! I'm 31+3 and this is my 2nd due on my LOs 1st birthday 🀭
I'm so tired this time around probably with not leaving myself much time to recover from last time lol
This is my 2nd little boy too and he's the double of his brother!
I think my body is that fu*cked it's just copy & pasted πŸ‘

nottodaysatanlucifer · 24/10/2019 18:05

I posted too soon saying this one was easier.

Had protein in my urine today and elevated blood pressure... roll on preeclampsia round 2 πŸ₯΄

Kate3150 · 24/10/2019 18:26

@nottodaysatanlucifer- ohhh bless you!!
Sorry to hear that.. what’s the next step for you!? Extra monitoring?
@ohdearymemumof3- How did you get on today? My appt was okay... everything fine really xx
