The contact with the cervix could be enough to trigger labour but less than if you also have contact with semen [emoji14]
For my 1st I had those same pains in my upper right quadrant, along with swelling on one leg/foot – and they worried at first it was pre-eclampsia but my protein and BP were ok – so they put it down to baby pushing into that corner and acid!
Bluebooties – like PBN will just say, what a sh*t system :( the whole “you can have mat leave OR normal leave once only in a 12-m period” is just BS, I wish it was different – don’t you have savings so you could take some days of leave without pay possibly or is that not an option from your employer’s perspective? (I mean how do you do when you have sick kids, can’t you take days off, even without pay?) :( I hope that when you are on your days off you do get to put your feet up even just a little and rest up. Hope your shifts go as smoothly and easily as they possibly can for you! :hugs:
Oh a hairy baby – so cute! He/she will be adorbs :D My eldest had some dark hair at birth but then it thinned out and they only started looking girly at around 1 – and hated bows and co booohoohoo – so hope this one retains some locks (I should have a scan at 34 weeks so we should see if she is bald or is graced with a bit of hair haha).
4b2p - acid reflux/nausea can be felt concurrently – the reflux can cause that nausea so it’s likely that!! (when I was about 15-16 weeks, I thought my MS had returned after a week “off” but in retrospect it was the reflux making me feel nauseated). It is so unpleasant and even painful at times..
Haha, my 2 year old hates bows and co as well – only now is she sometimes allowing me to put in a hairtie as her locks on the forehead are bothering he rto see and I refuse to cut her goldilocks just yet [emoji14] however my 4 year old now is such a girly girl that we must do a hair do every morning (Elsa braid, anyone?? Lol)
PBN – I’ve only had girls so can’t tell you if the linea nigra makes any difference – I think it is just hormonal buuuut the fact that it is different could mean that maybe there is a girl in there ;)
Sigh, and yes, SPD is horrid too ..the things we have to go through, eh? Have you tried a belt to support your pelvis? Like Ash, I struggle the most at night and turning in bed or to get up to pee is agonising – wow, recliner for 6 months? You poor thing! I never even thought about it, would have saved my nights [emoji14]
They say the third is the wild card haha – what happens if you go into labour before the planned C-section date – just rush to hospital for an emergency section?
Kat you typed as I was finishing ;) your pain sounds like SPD?? The groin area just painful as….
How are you? Ready for your newest addition? Hope she arrives at the perfect time for you both ^^
Any news from anyone else? ;)
25 weeks today – 15 weeks to go tops! I remember when you were at your 15-week mark countdown PBN and look how quick that has gone, it felt it was just like a fortnight ago..eeeeekk!
This am I dropped off my eldest at vacation care – and as it was her 1st day there, the lady asked one of the kids to show her around – a little Sophia :D M gave me a knowing at me when the girl introduced herself haha and yesterday we introduced ourselves to our new neighbours, and M pointed at my belly saying ‘and this is Sofia !’ The kid is dead set on that name, so tried not to smile too much as hubs is not 100% yet but like that she likes it so much that for her, her baby sister could not be called anything else :P
