I always get up to pee also, and then my brain starts working. It’s awful!!!

I agree pbn. So crazy that it’s not more encouraged.

Max – glad you’re off bedrest, woohoo for the gym – I can imagine how that must feel after months of not being allowed to! Enjoy but don’t go too hard too fast eh?
I don’t think seeing someone quite public with the same dynamics as you, and how she embraces it etc is weird at all – I follow a mum of soon to be 3 girls online, and it’s seeing that kind of dynamic that makes me more at peace with having 3 girls – I get mostly “negative” comments, so it’s like a breath of fresh air!
I’m sure if you shortlist some names, you will know once you see him which one fits him like a glove I love both names you have, I would choose Samuel William over Willaim Samuel but that’s only because I love both almost equally but Sam just that notch more – I hope one day I get to have a Sam of my own
Why would they not allow you to use any labour technique you want? Not like hypnobirthing would interfere??? Agree, having some sort of calming option (whatever that may be) would be awesome – I labour very fast too, and something to ground me would be so nice – but admittedly haven’t had time with either labours to think too much – fortunately, hubby was a great support – I just need to pace myself as much as possible next time to avoid tearing – rocket babies and precip labours = stunned mama and perineum lol

Oh and same here, peeing constantly, up at night multiple times too – but can see why, the munchkin has her fav spot with nudging her head between bladder and cervix – I stand no chance lol
PBN I’m the same, I get numb, trying to sleep on the side – fortunately I bought a big maternity pillow last week(only had a small one until then) and sleep soooo much better now, as my limbs don’t go numb anywhere near as much, and it keeps me in place – whereas if I end up on the back, I get woken by strong tightenings – and if I wake up, I have to get up to pee, yet again (I seriously go 2-3 times in the 30 minutes before sleep and yet still maange to need to go again at night lol)

Lmsm I cant understand how I have any pee left by morning [emoji23][emoji23] should've looked into a maternity pillow but won't bother now as I'm so close!

Haha I hear ya – I even try to limit my drinks by late arvo so I don’t have too much fluid in there – and nope, still need to pee like every two bloody minutes (it’ll be fun in the last weeks where it’s even worse because of the sheer pressure of bub’s weight lol)
Because it’s my third, I am loathe investing too much in that kinda stuff – found it on Gumtree a few suburbs down and was new – got it for $10 instead of $70/80 in the shops. It was a rather wealthy lady, whom I suspect has bought 3 of everything and only used one lol I am soooo happy I did buy it though – you can zip it into a cushion for bub afterwards too

glad your getting back into your exercise max i cant believe hypnobirth isnt allowed?? what excuse can they possibly give for not wanting you to listen to it and do the breathing exercises in your room? not like your disturbing other women or interfering with medical equipment or anything, beyond me how controlling some hospitals are

LMSM glad baby is looking good i would think they will re-check placenta position around 35 ish weeks just to make sure its moved up enough, im sure it will and that everything will be fine for you

Sky - I hope its just pregnancy related too. I just thought it was weird because the symptoms came from no where and suddenly. You're due date is just 3 days after mine Also I've never had a c-section but I'd go for the vaginal first and if it didn't work then they can do the csection. But really it's your preference. With the csection you'll have an appointment scheduled and know when the baby will be here which is a perk in my opinion (I hate not knowing stuff) but a vaginal delivery is so much easier to heal from (from what I've heard).

LMSM - I'm hoping for a small delicate baby too but I'm not hoping too hard since my last was 8lbs 5oz. I'm expecting 10lbs this time around. And my doctor won't do anymore u/s so I have no way of knowing if baby will be large or not. For this reason I have an elective 4D u/s set up for the end of the month but this place is in no way connected to the doctor and I may have another closer to the due date. I hope I can make it to the appointment.

US hospitals seem to restrict a lot. I was induced twice and not allowed to walk around or eat. I was sooo bored and pretty mean by the end after not eating for about 24 hours. I wasn't allowed to eat from a certain time the night before until I had them the next day, both times this was around 8pm they were born.

4b2p – since the placenta was noted as ok (because it was juuuust at the limit lol), it is not on the report that it was borderline low – so will have to tell my GP of my concerns, and hope she will agree to a referral for a late scan – it really, really would appease my fears I’m sure it will move up nicely, since most do naturally anyways, but just want to not put us at risk, especially since there is a very real chance I may end up having an unassisted birth at home given how quick I labour
How are you feeling? Are the other kids getting excited? Is your youngest daughter aware of what is coming you think?

Mommaxo3 - yep, I pretty much have no hope of a delicate little thing either (DD2 was an 8 pounder too) lol there is no 3rd trimester scan if all is well here either so no way of knowing if there is a potential whopper in there
Can a private scan tell you if baby is big? Here all the non-medical ones (you can only get a medical one if you have a referral from your doc) only are for “entertainment” and they don’t provide any feedback on anything but gender….
FX all is well and your darling girl is growing perfectly! Please show us pics!

Ok wish me luck, am meeting with my friend at lunch and will tell her about #3….I’ve dressed so that the bump doesn’t stand out at all, I don’t want it to be “in your face” kinda of a thing!

Maximbella, can you repost your colic thread without the question mark? For some reason occasionally the last couple weeks, threads with puncuation in them are impossible for some of us to read.

How did telling your friend go LMSM? It's hard sharing baby news with people battling infertility. I had to tell my close friend since 13 years old that I was pregnant with this one and she'd gone through 2 miscarriages and a termination at 17 weeks. I felt awful. She's due exactly 3 weeks after me now!
