Pregnancy #32 Sponsored by the sweeps and first trimester sleeps!

[Trombolese]

The pain has been weird like some times it’s completely unbearable and stings and then others it’s ok, must be the position of it think I overdid it yesterday in the hospital though, feel like it’s hurt more yesterday. baby girl is now home though They let us come home a day early last night it’s been an interesting night to say the least

i had loads of ups and downs regarding the pain, even if you get a day early on where you feel good, just rest instead of overdoing it. I had a day about a week after where I felt like the pain was easing and stupidly walked to the supermarket and back, which was further than I thought and I was in agony the next day. Keep taking the paracetamol and ibroprofen every 6 hours too, I found that it helped. Have they given you anything stronger? Yay she’s home how are you both getting on?

That’s kind of what it’s like period pains but in my back and I’ve had some in my pelvis I’m guessing that’s his head still!
I hope so I don’t want a lazy boy who won’t come my midwife has already said I’d have to be 12 days over for an induction

Check the induction policy for your hospital, in my trust they will induce between 40+7 and 40+12 if requested (if you don't ask they let you go 12 days over) so just check it out and see if you can ask for that too (I have!!! Never going 12 days overdue again )

Ladies who’ve had babies before did you have lower back pain before labour starting?
I’ve had back ache on and off for days but todays been the worst, no other symptoms really though my due dates this week and I’m just so done now

Yeah, that’s where my contractions where, my baby was back to back though x

 

[TheBabeWithThePower]

Can I join in with a moan? I'm over 40 weeks now, I know that induction will be mentioned at my appointment tomorrow and I don't want to talk about that yet, and my husband and I have both got the latest heavy cold that the toddler has brought home from nursery and we're feeling crap.
Trying my best to remain positive and be happy that it's not Covid thank goodness but I really hope I'm feeling better when I have the baby!

First timer here after a long journey. Have just make it over the 10 week mark. Just woke up this morning and there was the some spotting and I’m really upset. I don’t know what to do. I’ve had some niggly twinges over the last few days but the midwife said that was ok. I’m just sitting here crying I don’t know what to do

Hey, that must be so worrying for you. Have you got the phone number for your local maternity assessment centre? I'd try giving them a call I think.

I also would get bad stomachs like that during the first days of my period, so I’m guessing it’s a hormonal thing.

Yeah me it’s horrible

I feel like my sickness is at it’s absolute peak today I think I’m gonna have to get cyclizine like I did during my first pregnancy. I feel horrendous the only thing getting me through the day is orange lucozade which feels like poison

Just to say I had horrendous sickness with my 3rd and 4th- one girl and one boy!
And whoever is saying don’t take them hasn’t been unwell constantly for months on end. If the doctor says they are ok to take then that’s the only opinion you should take in to account. There is nothing wrong with taking safe medications during pregnancy when they are needed.
( I know they give out the warnings about cyclezine not being tested in pregnancy etc)

Hey everyone, can't believe I'm joining you guys in this thread. Got BFP yesterday morning and I'm about 4w 2d along now. I was completely in shock (and still am) but I feel so so blessed. So far I just feel bloated as hell and I'm not looking forward to all the attention and questions that are gonna be coming my way.

Welcome tattle420! I’m not long here either 7+4. I feel the exact same, clothes a little tighter is all. Looking forward to filling out and not just looking fat (I suffer with dismorphia, I’m a 12). My fiancés sister just announced her pregnancy yesterday and she’s at most 7 weeks so I’m hoping she will get allllll the attention and il just blend in the shadows! I’m most anxious about telling work. I’m about to be promoted so I’m awake for an hour every morning around now worrying. A lot going on at the minute

congratulations dear. i feel you about the anxiety, i've spent the whole morning at work being anxious about everything and anything, even though i'm not normally an anxious person. i just don't feel like myself and it's scaring me hoping this is just a phase of me getting used to my new lifestyle now that there's another human involved

It's my last week at work not going to be a quiet one but the end is in sight!
I've been sleeping terribly this weekend so I can't wait to be able to nap whenever I want

 

[calmyourritas]
