Due December 2024

[NphysT]

Anyone else tested super early and due December 2024? This is my 2nd pregnancy after a mmc 2 days after my 12 week scan in December and actual miscarriage in January.

Hoping this will be the 1 that sticks and is healthy. Think my due date is Dec 3rd

Girls this is a weird one - I'm 33w pregnant- a non-smoker (haven't smoked since drunk in bars in my early 20s, I'm 40 now - since it was legal to smoke in bars!!!). I have been having the strongest urges to smoke cigarettes lately! Obvs won't act on it and normally think smoking is disgusting, I have no idea where this has come from 😂 have never had pregnancy cravings, is this me getting those mad pregnancy cravings, just very late?!

Thanks @Molly4689 @RedRobyn2021 @Firsttimetrier my daughter seems to be taking to it ok now, first time we tried at 2.5 she was having none of it and there just wasn't a good time since with one thing or another going on. Were also loosely following the oh crap method which is going ok although I've accelerated it a bit 😬

Hopefully nursery can keep it up this week 🤞🤞🤞

I do have a feeling that baby arriving will set things back though especially as I'm having an ELCS and won't be able to lift her etc for ages 😭

@HelterSkelter224 - So random!! I wonder why your body is craving cigarettes! Especially as you aren't a smoker!

Also this baby bouncing around on my bladder... No matter how much of the squeezy app I do I am still leaking a very small amount after a wee! Let's hope this isn't the beginning of the end of incontinence. Has anyone else had the same or just me on my own?

@LilyJessie I’ve been the same since having DS1. But then I’m not very good about remembering to do pelvic floor exercises.

I find depending on what way baby is lying I can go for a wee and then need to go again a few minutes later because bladder didn’t fully empty the first time.

Don't worry, I had this problem throughout my entire first pregnancy but continued doing the Squeezy app and after I had my daughter I had zero problems holding my wee

Until I got pregnant again where a little bit comes out 🙄

I think it's just the weight of the baby and placenta etc

@LilyJessie I am needing a liner every day now for small leaks, very minor and I don't even feel most of them but find it happens when baby is very active and/or I've held my bladder too long. I am still only needing to empty it the normal amount of times though so prehaps it's my fault for not going more "incase". I really do need to make time for pelvic exercises though as after my last baby it took months to regain full strength (and I didn't leak during that pregnancy!) Birth can really do a number on muscle strength. But on the other hand my midwife told me not to do too many as it can also cause muscle weakness through overwork, or can cause short term damage a bit like a pulled muscle, or worse it can cause a spasm which can make birth difficult. She told me work on strength but work more on control so focus on relaxing those muscles just as much as you strengthen them.

@HelterSkelter224 just sounds like a weird pregnancy craving to me

I quite smoking 5 years ago but can't say I've wanted cigarettes, in fact I went on holiday with 2 smokers in September and the smell made me feel ill

@OnNaturesCourse the Squeezy app you do exercises 3 x a day, it's an NHS app so I'd imagine that isn't too much

The app has helped because it prompts you, otherwise I'd never do it

Page 40! Will I start a new thread?

Good idea 👍

Oh thank goodness all it isn't just me! Not that I would wish this on any of us haha!!

Yes definitely good time to start a new thread 🙂🙂

@LilyJessie weirdly I haven't really had any leaks, but sometimes when I get into a warm bath I get the very sudden urge to pee and have sometimes leaked a little in the bath, even though right before I get in I've just been for a wee. But in my post a little further down, I mentioned that the other night while having a coughing fit, I fully wet myself. Didn't even feel like I needed a wee. But I'm guessing from the pressure of coughing and baby on my bladder it just came out! 😂😂 felt mortified. Thankfully I was at home! Weirdly I also haven't been needing to wee an awful lot more than normal, but whenever I do go toilet I feel like I'm not fully emptying my bladder. Which is frustrating. Doesn't make me need to go more, just feels odd.

What's the reason for the new thread? X

@Lunamoon23
Haha! Oh bless you!!
I feel the need to wee thinking I have drunk loads and only a tiny bit comes out 😂😂

Also new thread as maximum you can write is 1000 posts and reaching near that it's better to get a new thread in before it closes!

OK, slight update. I'm pretty sure my mucus plug has dropped out again but this time the whole thing - it's soaked through my liner and is stringy hanging out of me on the loo. Cleaned up, stood up only for it to happen again. It's like snot. And I keep needing to pee but only getting drips, same for pooping.

Sorry wrong thread
