Hello! I'm halfway through pregnancy now, and hoped to make a thread for anyone at a similar stage who wants to chat through these next months 🙂

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

@Ladyinpink1 what is she talking about? Did you manage to chat to other mums to be there? Yes so many lovely clothes, some were ones that another friend had given her, so our girls will all have worn the same clothes which is cute. It’s all 6-9 months plus though. So I’ve sorted that into storage bags.

A physical job sounds tough, I have an office based desk job and even then I find myself getting sore and achey hips. I feel like I’m starting to walk like a pregnant lady, maybe I should say waddle slightly!

@firsttimepregnanthelp when are you next in for CTG? Sounds like you could do with some time
off, are you going to call in or see if you can get signed off? Hopefully some relaxed time at home and baths etc will help you notice some more movements. How are you feeling today?

@Judgejudysno1fanhow are you doing? Feeling any better?

Hiya, no still rough unfortunately and just feeling really rubbish all day long. Hernia pain, pains from eating, nausea and I have painful sides as well. Thought by now it'd get easier. Im 34+1 now. The end is near.

How's things with you? ❤️

Hey how is everyone? Due dates are creeping up!

Not long to go at all

Have you sorted hospital bag yet?

@Judgejudysno1fan@PumpkinSpicedLatte I had a bit of a scare this week so I have pretty much sorted my hospital bag, just some clothes, toiletries and charger etc to put in but that would be a when I need it situation! How about you?

5 weeks today until my c section date which is a bit crazy!!! I had to finish work a couple of weeks ago which I am quite happy about, been nice to relax and recover a bit as I really wasn’t well. Just could do with the nesting urges to kick in really!!

Hello @PumpkinSpicedLatte i'm doing ok, how are you? I haven't been using mumsnet in ages, it was really quiet for a while.

How are you all now? It's crazy to think how far on we are now. I have 4 weeks until my due date.

Good that your hospital bag is mostly organised. It's on my to do list for this week as well. Hope you are feeling better now @EmilyMay89

Sorry things are still rough @Judgejudysno1fan Will you go to term with feeling so bad? Or would you like to go earlier?

Well, my little girl is measuring a bit small unfortunately, so they might induce me next weekend at 37w. But if she shows a bit more weight at next week growth scan then they will induce me at 39w which is beginning of may. I'd rather keep her in until 39w to grow more, so im hoping ive been eating better. Im literally forcing myself to eat more.

The trouble is I feel so sick all the time. Ive been having issues with constant painful boils all over my legs as well, the hernia and the sickness and then the pains after I eat. Its a lot.

Husband has been very good bringing me treats and food that I love. But I just feel so bad all the time. Ive lost almost 20 kilos in this pregnancy. Only now have I started to gain weight. I haven't even got round to packing a hospital bag and I need to sort premature and small baby clothes which ive been looking at on vinted.

Hows everything with you and everyone else 💐
