How much paracetamol can we have? I think I’ve pulled a muscle somehow cause it feels like doms - distant memory now!

The 2 tests in the pack are sufficient. And a reassurance scan at 8/9 weeksI know most of you are quite far along now, but do you remember when you stopped testing? Its become a habit in a morning just in case... not sure if it's normal behaviour.I think I'm going to have to get my husband to confiscate all the tests soon.
save your money tests aren’t cheapJust the usual amount I think, 1000mg 4 times per day no closer than 4 hours apart.
Hey everyone!
Haven't caught up with the thread yet, but just reporting in to let you know LongishKitten was born yesterday at 4 pm!
I went in for induction Thursday night, they placed some tampony thing around 10 pm. My water broke at 4 am and then contractions started as well. By 8 am dilation wasn't really going fast (but contractions every 5 mins), so they put me on a drip. I also went for an epidural and omg I'm so happy I did. Don't know if I would've pulled through without one.
Somewhere in the afternoon I suddenly dilated from 4 to 9 cm quite quickly and tbh, I was getting kinda scared about giving birth.
I started pushing around 3:30 pm and she was born 30 mins later, which is pretty fast for a first I've been told. I just really wanted her out there
I have a small tear, but the gynaecologist was able to stitch it up nicely and doesn't expect any issues to heal.
She's absolutely gorgeous and at the moment a pretty relaxed baby. First night with the three of us went relatively good (slept about 4 to 5 hours total). Hope she keeps it that way. Mr LongishCat and I are absolutely besotted
Also started breastfeeding and it's not easy, but we're getting the hang of it.
So all in all, pretty good birth experience

I use a microwave wheat bag as well as a hot water bottle (depending on where the pain is).Morning, can anyone give any advice on what I can do for back pain? I had 5 hours of makeup appointments yesterday and a 3 hours of stop start driving home and I’m in agony every time I moveI’d normally dose up on deep heat and ibuprofen but obviously can’t now
Awww congratulations @LongishCat!! Enjoy all the newborn snuggles. That sounds like a really positive story, hope your recovery is smooth x
38w scan this morning shows baby still has some slight swelling of their left kidney - hasn’t got any worse in the last two weeks which is a good thing. Bladder looks normal so it’s just a case of having a paediatrician come and check baby over when they’re born and theyll decide the course of action - could need nothing at all, could need scans / antibiotics or worst case an op down the road but we just won’t know until they’re here so I am not dwelling on it. Instead focusing on how thorough the care and the technology is! It does mean that combined with GD they don’t want me to go over too much so if there are no real signs of early Labour by my due date they’ll induce me which I am fine with in all honesty. I’ve been so fortunate to have private care through my work insurance that the induction process isn’t feeling so daunting - no waiting around for days on end for beds etc. I’m going to have a sweep next week at 39w and see if things can get moving on their own before that but it will be what it will be. I’ve kind of accepted I’ll be induced so anything earlier or going naturally will be a bonus. A few curries and some bouncing on the ball on the cards this week and next I guess!

Actually, I think this was the one positive about having GD, they didn't want me to go overdue (by a lot) and I was so ready with being pregnant and she wasn't showing interest in leaving my womb
Babygirl was born on 40+1, but if she had had her way, I'd probably still be pregnant at 50 weeks.
Hope the kidney won't be too much of an issue!
Yay congratulationsHey everyone!

Congrats @LongishCat !
Anyone else just feel absolutely wiped out some days? I have spent the entirety of today horizontal either on the sofa or in bed. Even the idea of sorting dinner out just makes me want to weep, I feel absolutely drained of all life force…
