Hey all

@jadey1991 thats if I can wobble around a pumpkin patch 🤣

@Curlymam88 haha yes you know about the wobble. Everyone tells me I wobble like a penguin 😂

Cannot believe it is 13 today weeks until my little girl will be here, its all going so fast, have the man coming this week to build all the nursery furniture as me and my partner are useless...

Really struggling with sciatica atm being mobile with a toddler is becoming a struggle, how is everyone else feeling... 26 weeks already my goodness

@julzx aww I know tell me about it. I'm the same as you. 26+2 for me today. I'm am so excited to meet my little boy. Yea it has come round so fast. I remember starting this thread and I was only 5 weeks pregnant lol..

I'm feeling ok, very tired lately. Al
I do is sleep. Lol. How about yourself x

Hello please could I join? Due 3rd jan but will be more like late December as I'm having an elective c-section this time (that's the hope anyway!) 25 weeks and feeling absolutely shattered. Had my GTT test today and feeling like I've entered the first trimester again so nauseous and bleh!

@zeromango welcome and congratulations. I'm feeling really tired myself. I'm 26+2 today. All I can do is sleep eat toilet sleep eat toilet lol

Hello Congrats & Welcome Zero Mango!
How did your GTT go? I have mine in 4 hours did you fast? How are you feeling?
Any tips would be right now appreciated!
Having a baby boy Dec 25th!

@jadey1991it went so slow at the beginning, i had COVID a few weeks ago and it made me really start to get organised as i was sitting in the house and i was like i dont even have a bottle nothing lol. Im very tired too and don't really have much appetite, i think that's partly covid related though, i keep forgetting my iron tablets that cant be helping either. I finish up work the last week in November so once i come back from holidays next week it will be October very scary stuff!

@zeromango that's the same as myself, im hoping its a more peaceful experience than the emergency one last time!

@julzx aww bless you. How did u feel with the Covid! Was you ill for a long time?
Don't worry hun when my kids are at school I'm like what do I do with myself lol. So I can only imagine how u felt x

Hey guys!

Im 27 weeks tomorrow and struggling with back pain. It's on my right side, from lower to mid way up my back to kind of behind my boobs area. Anyone feeling similar with you backs?

13 weeks to go! Cannot wait ☺️

@plantloveJolly aww bless you. Not long to go now. I wouldn't say I am suffering with it but now and then I get back pain. I mainly suffer with babies leg or arm in my rib cage and tiredness

Update from me...I came into hospital today for an iron infusion through a drip. However 5 mins into it and I pass out. Wake up to a woman shaking me and a crash team of about 10 people around me. They think I must have had a reaction to the iron. Im now up on a ward with fluids and observations because my blood pressure keeps dropping along with my blood sugar.
Hope everyone is doing better than me??

@Curlymam88 oh my goodness hun.. you was clearly poorly...oh my goodness I'm so glad you was at the hospital when this happened. Shit.. how are you feeling now? What are the doctors saying? How long you there for?

I'm doing okayish.. I'm probs gonna go up to a&e because there is something wrong with my right foot. Doctors called me yesterday trying to diagnose me over the phone telling me it's inflamed and I should take paracetamol but I told her that isn't gonna do anything 🤦🏽‍♀️doctors can be useless sometimes. And there's more But anyway forget about me. I'm worried about you.

I hope baby is well. X

Im ok.now. They think I had a reaction to the iron drip so I'm going to try liquid iron instead. Think they're just keeping me in for a bit to be on safe side. Hopefully when I've finished my fluids I can go home though. Been here since half 10 this morning. Baby is fine thanks, they did check her heart with doppler once I came round.
@jadey1991 what have you done to your foot? Have you twisted it or something? Could it be something like gout? Hope you're ok.

@jadey1991 sorry to hear about your foot but doesn't sound like an accident or an emergency....
I'd just ask for a face to face appointment with your GP or call 111. A&Es are completely swamped at the moment.

Glad to hear you're feeling OK now @Curlymam88, fingers crossed they get you home later.

Aww bless you hun. I'm so happy to hear everything is fine.
No I haven't twisted my ankle. I mean I twisted it a little while ago now but my foot is hurting right under the arch and into my toes. It's not changing colour or anything.

@SouthwestSis
Yes I will defo ask for a face to face

I used to have a bad arch when I used to walk alot and never wore tidy trainers for walking. Have you tried a foot support. I remember I used to pit deep freeze gel on mine which helped a bit. I think that's still safe to use in pregnancy?

@Curlymam88 yeah I've tried the foot support and it isn't doing great. The doctor told me not wear flat shoes. She advises me to wear trainers(which I do) and to walk alot(which I do) but if my foot is inflamed(so she says) why would you recommend I walk lots🤦🏽‍♀️ then on top of that to take paracetamol 🤦🏽‍♀️I don't know... x

Yea cushioned trainers. I was wearing like flat converse ones when I went walking 🙈 do you have a minor injuries unit near you? I remember going there and they done xrays on my foot.

And surely the doctor can diagnose your foot over the phone? Unless he was face timing you?? 🙈

Cant I mean x

Ok ladies I’m due dec 25 how many of you have already bought your Stoller’s & had them delivered? My mum back in the day said it was unlucky to have the ‘pram’ delivered until baby arrives……help !!!

@Curlymam88 yeah I have my local a&e but I know I'll probs be waiting there for a long time and then b transferred to minors. And that's what I'm thinking they can't diagnose me over the phone without seeing me. Xx

@JW2021 I'm due the same day as u and I will be getting my parm in Oct.. I wouldn't wait till baby arrives. That's my opinion. I like to make sure I have everything lol
