We were asked to make a new thread so here goes!!!
Coocoo can we update with what everyone is having? I read your comment about the cramps and I have had those too this pregnancy and haven't had them before. It is weird. I woke up the other morning and sneezed and had such a bad cramp/charlie horse that I couldn't move. Everything I tried to do to make it better was making it worse. I had to just sit there and breath and wait for it to go away. So weird!!
Yes I get them too after sneezing sometimes, its a sharp pain.
I tried copying and pasting the list but I couldn't get the little bears so would have to go in one by one and add them! Unless someone else knows how to do it?
Maybe I can just do a few a day and it won't seem so overwhelming?
It will just be very time consuming as I access this forum on my phone and it messes with how earth I see things!!
Maybe we can keep this thread more active :)
How is everyone sleeping? I'm having a terrible time of it lately, partly because it is so hot and we don't have AC and the other part is just being uncomfortable in every position I try to get in. Also I've been getting heart burn and terrible gas pains which wake me up. These are all new things for me and I am associating with having a girl. With my 3 boys never had these issues!
I'm sleeping ok. We moved our room to the lower level so I keep the back door open and I'm quite comfortable:)
I have a pillow between my knees and a triangle one under my tummy but I often wake up sprawled on my back! Lol. I wake up quite a bit but am able to return to sleep easily...had some insomnia a while back.
I'm ok in the other dept too for now... Heqrtburn will hit again soon I am sure! Hate that stuff!!!
Hi ladies. I've got a massive V shaped pillow 12 foot all in. Ds2 tried to "borrow" it tonight ... Told him he can have a shot AFTER the baby is born!! Xx
attempting to copy the list from the first thread .... okay, will need to try and work on that then lol!!

Yes I have a very large pillow that wrap around and use when PG. It is seriously one of my favorite things. DH calls it my boyfriend and named it Juan:) I do love that pillow!!
Mine is cerise pink and dh has named it my big clit, dirty mind that man has. He cringes when ds is lying on it!! Since I've been pg the first time i now always lean into a pillow to sleep, just a normal pillow, cant sleep any other way x

Lol on your pillows ladies!!!
My boys woke me early this morning so decided to go for a walk (haven't for a couple weeks!!!!) before it got too hot!! Just as I'm getting ready, dh gets a call for work and has to go in! I was sooo choked! I at last was trying to go and it got bamboozled! I just feel like I'm going to explode soon I'm getting so big!
I was not nice about it either but prob because I asked him about 2 months ago to clear off his treadmill in the garage so I have no excuses! But he hasn't and I've nagged him about all these other things needing done that I know he will say he doesn't have time now. He's just annoying right now, or I just have no patience with this pregnancy! Lol

Time is flyin!
Hahaha on the pillows and coocoo I often find my hubby annoying lately too. My last pregnancy I just thought he was wonderful and just all goo goo this pregnancy I'm all GRRRRR GO AWAY!!! haha
I don't have special pillows but I did make hubby pick me up some new ones so now I sleep with 4 pillows to prop me up but I toss and turn all night. He sometimes steals one of my pillows and I yell I'M PREGNANT GIVE IT BACK!!!! Hahaha
Well my little tacker will not stop moving. Is it possible that a baby can move too much in utero? I can already see my tummy moving all over the place!
We have set up the nursery now (just because i wanted to do it before I get too big and can't be btohered).
I think my nesting phase kicked in a bit today too, we chucked out so much stuff from all the cupboards in the house... feels good to have a clean out.
Mrs I - hows the garage room coming along? my husband finished his last week, it looks great and has opened up so much space in the house!
Peebell, I think it was one of the other girls lucky enough to be converting their garage! We are putting ds2 (7) and ds3 (3) into ds2's big room. It'll be a squeeze with all the toys, but doable. Hoping to decorate a pink nursery before she arrives but with stupidly booking a holiday for the end of this month means time, money and dh's availability are all lacking. We booked before we found out it was a girl, what with everything needing bought from scratch (all my baby stuff is blue!) we could have been doing without the holiday costs this year. It's only our 3rd family holiday abroad tho, so the boys deserve this. Just left me feeling a bit stressed about money, and being able to buy our little princess all the gorgeous things I've looked at longingly for years!! Xx

Peebell it's me who is converting the garage but the project has not yet started. My dad will be helping us and he isn't free according to my mom until Sept but I'm hoping we can bust it out in a few days in August. I really want it set up before school starts back up. Until that happens I feel stuck and can't really do anything, which is soooo frustrating.
My baby girl is bouncing and kicking all over the place, I'm now worried with how active she is that she is going to come out hell on wheels! haha. All of my babies were active but this tops it with how early she has my belly bouncing.
We finally woke up with a break from the heat which is such a welcome relief. My hubby and I were laughing that we will gladly take some rain right now!
So I passed the glucose test! Yah! But then I asked about my iron and she said it was 11 but wasn't even going to tell me because she thought I was already taking supplements?! Anyway, I stopped because they were backing me up, she said I should take them again. Lo and behold, I took one last night and I'm already a mess today so I imagine I'll end up with good ol hemmoroids if I keep taking them:/
And I have strep b in my urine (already took antibiotics for it but apparently didn't work) so have to do another round! I feel its unnecessary since they will still give me iv antiobiotics at birth but she said it could cause a bladder infection that could cause early labour. Hmph...all these things that may or may not happen, I hate taking so many antibiotics!!!!!
Yay coocoo for passing the test! Sorry you have to take more antibiotics...take lots of probiotics to help off set it. It's what is helping with my constant battle with yeast infections this pregnancy. Also there is an iron supplement by garden of life that is not supposed to make you backed up. I take their prenatal and don't have trouble. Yes the pregnancy constipation but not like taking iron that just makes things STOP! Good luck there!
Apparently there is only 4 or 5 of us that actually post and we are in a 3 month span of delivering! Where are all the ladies???
I've been trying to take my prenatal with my main meal to avoid the dreaded constipation! Not needed iron yet so fx I avoid that guarantee of constipation too.
I know, I don't know where the others have gone! It's been very quiet on here for ages. I join in the dec thread to have someone to talk to lol.
I'm off on holiday on Wednesday so won't be around for a few weeks. Unless the wifi in the resort works of course :) xx

Has anyone not done the glucose test? I am DREADING it. It made me violently ill last time and I projectile vomited the liquid all over the hospital bathroom!
We don't get it as standard I don't think. Doesn't sound as if I'm missing anything to be honest! X
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Its standard here to get it done. I considered not doing it this time as I was sure I'd pass seeing I've had 3 pregnancies without it and I really don't think it's anything to do with diet causing it (I know it can help once you're diagnosed) but I should have had it last time if diet was a factor!! Lol
ms_incredible have a great vacay! Weeks?? That's sounds awesome! Where are you going?
I stopped at a coffee shop the other day with the 3 boys and when I was getting back in the van a lady stopped me and said my boys were so gorgeous and then said how she noticed I was expecting another and how great a 4th boy would be! Even if she was lieing through her teeth, she just made my day!! When I told her it was a girl she said 'those boys won't know what to do with her' lol!
I didn't mind, I was just so flattered she said something so positive about it being a 4th boy, because yah, it would have been awesome!!!
Btw peebell, I always feel sick in the 1st hour and then it passes but man it sucks!!
I haven't had it yet. I'm also dreading it and kinda hoping it wont be necessary. I've never had any issue so can't imagine it will start now. I have an appt on Thursday so I'm sure I will be hearing about it then!
Aww Mrs have a fantastic trip! Haha and then there were 3!
Coocoo it's always so nice when people say nice things. It's so easy to say mean or bad things especially in passing but to stop someone and give a compliment is so nice and there isn't enough of it. It always remind me when I am thinking something nice about someone to just say it out loud cause it makes them feel good.
Coocoo and to anyone else who it having opposite is anyone throwing you a shower? I know we all have baby gear but for those of us who have been world of boy I know I have absolutely nothing girlie, also I haven't bought anything either. One of my gf is going in with my MIL to throw a shower for me since I'm getting my little warrior princess :)

Alright here is my belly at 23 weeks
Before I knew what baby was I told my sil that I don't want a shower as last time all my friends told me I should have one even though I was hesitant thinking people would not want to come for a 3rd shower for me. My sil and sis threw it for me and only 3 friends came. One who was pregnant, another who knew how important it was to acknowledge even though my 3rd was another boy, that he should be celebrated and my other friend who was pregnant with her 4th girl.
(It was supposed to be a meet the baby shower and not to encourage gifts) but I'm not sure how the invites were made out to say:/
So this time I have a feeling people will come because she is a she and that makes me a bit peeved! Lol! I'd want people to come for either girl or boy and they proved last time, this was not the case...so I sort of don't want to have it, if that makes sense? And I don't want them all telling me to go and gah over baby girl stuff like I've been missing out! I am excited about that, but I don't want people to think that my boys weren't as special! Arghhh politics lol!
I have a feeling they may still suprise me with one, but maybe not as I was adamant and they may think to respect that.
(Deep down it would be really fun, and I do need stuff!!)
I would love a baby shower but don't have a main group of friends as such, just friends who don't really know each other. My mum and my sister are my besties. It's still not the done thing here either, although a few on my bounty due date group are having one. I'm not really one for having a party for myself either just in case no one turns up!! I'm loving buying pink tho. Looking forward to getting some nice baby things in Turkey, got lovely bits last year for my nephew. I was planning on using the blue bouncy chair i have in the loft, but now i really want a pink one!! It really feels like starting from scratch as i really went all out baby blue for my last baby (so i thought )! Xx

Oh, and I got cuddles with a 4 week old little girl today, she was just adorable. Pink and white dress, headband and pink cardi! Still didn't sink in fully that I'll have my own little girl soon. Yet, if I was having a boy it would have torn at my heart seeing her pink gorgeousness. Still think I've got barriers up just in case it's indeed a boy (even tho I've got about 60 pink sleep suits to do up til 6 months and a lot of other bits lol!!) I'm not protecting my bank balance but think I am protecting my heart a little bit as I'm still scared to believe xx

So very quiet:(
I'll post another belly shot! I've been on top of it his time, every other pregnancy I have never remembered!!!

28 weeks!!
I am sooo over this pregnancy today!!
Lookin good coocoo! I'm 24 weeks and already looking forward to it being over yet trying to treasure knowing it's the last time I will feel kicks inside.
This evening baby girl has decided to roll in and kick my organs and cervix rather than my belly! Sooo not fun!
Also my joke with this pregnancy is that apparently my butt thinks it is pregnant too...no one told it that it isn't growing a baby so it's taken on life of its own! Ugh losing it is not going to be fun.
Sorry guys, I've been a bit MIA lately, I've been going well but already feeling so tired and heavy at only 26 weeks... I am
Always puffed out and my bubs kicks my cervix and bladder too!! Is anyone waking up in the middle of the night? I have been waking at 3.30am religiously...
I can totally relate! The kicking is insane this time around. I always have active babies but I think maybe this girls placement is making them more prominent. My midwife jokes that she is just building up her muscles to be ready to take on her 3 big brothers!
I have been waking up all night almost every night. It's miserable
I wake every night and if it's something other than having to pee I can end up being awake for a good hour or 2 wide awake! Soooo annoying!
I swam with my little guy yesterday and had total cramp like feelings in the lower front! I was a little worries but I think it's from the heat and not drinking enough:/ has since been better:)

Had my 30 week ultrasound today! Baby girl is happy and healthy! Ugh but she has a nuchal cord. No one was concerned though!
What is that mrs?
She looks very sweet:)
Nuchal cord is a cord around the neck. But other than that she looked great!Quote:

Oh sooo cute and she does look like the baby in your avatar.
I've been told that the cord around the neck is pretty common and if they aren't worried then don't worry!
I had a bit of a meltdown today, my two year old has been testing my patience, my marriage has rocky patches at times, and I'm exhausted from being pregnant and I just had a mini melt down tonight... Cried and cried and then fell asleep. I feel a bit better now though.
I had my 27 week check up today and they still havent told me my ceasar date!! Why do they leave it so late? I cant believe we are all heading into the third trimester already shortly...
Aww it's ok Peebell! Big hugs! We all have rough patches, and kids are just meant to try our patience, it's their gift! ;) My 13 yr old son recently said to me "mom, why are you so grumpy all the time lately?" DOH I just told him making a baby for the 4th time is just really hard work when working and taking care of a large family so my patience is just short and that it will get better...eventually! haha
I am so uncomfortable now that I just hope the last trimester flies by.
I feel way more pregnant than I am! I feel like I did (if I remember correctly) when I was right near the end:/ mannnn it's going to be a long couple months!!
I've gained 35lbs!!! Wth? That's prob half my problem, lol!
K done complaining for now!
