Someone once told me that that is a thing, unsure how true it is but I see the logic 🤣
I can confirm it’s definitely a thing. I had a very strong feeling throughout pregnancy I was having a girl and I wanted to see if I was right (I was). It definitely motivated me after 37 hours to push!

feel like i've been jabbed to pieces today! had my GD blood tests, whooping cough in one arm.. flu jab in the other! glad it's done but feel it should be illegal to be forced into the office after these things :LOL:

Check your company policy for pregnancy related sickness absences - they don’t go against us in my place of work!

How are all you lovely third trimester ladies getting on?

33 weeks tomorrow and getting to the point where going to work is uncomfortable, sitting at home is uncomfortable, thinking is uncomfortable and sleeping is non-existent 😂 Also, TMI but I'm suddenly constipated as anything which is a lovely new symptom 🤪

I feel that. If I sit down for too long, I ache. If I move for too long, I ache. If I sleep on one side for too long, I ache. I think nesting has started though as I just found myself asking my husband when I last cleaned the skirting boards 😂

We have officially finished baby furniture wise and it's just smaller things like a bottle warmer & nappy bin left. Going to Costco (Costcoum for my fellow Bistans) next week to get nappies and wipes etc. It's all getting a bit real!

Omg yes the nesting has also started in my house. I must have hoovered the nursery about 6 times over the weekend 😂 My partner is too polite to question it hahaha!

I need to start washing all the clothes, that's next on the ever-growing list.

Starbucks dies the trick with me, I absolutely hate the coffee but it works to get things going

I’m 35 weeks and bump feels very very heavy. I’ve had the flu the last week and it seems to have solved my insomnia!!. I know when I get better I’ll be back to zero sleep. Start eating dates-they are excellent for constipation and the first toilet trip after baby but also there is research to suggest that frequent eating of them in the last few weeks of pregnancy can reduce time in labour (I’m willing to give anything a go!)

I've been quite lucky with constipation, I'm lactose intolerant so the moment I feel any whisper of it, I can just have a yoghurt or some milk 😂 I do find that a warm bath helps keep things moving

I’m 33 weeks on Thursday but I’m feeling good, don’t really feel tired or anything even with still working 2 jobs! I do get uncomfortable now though if I’m sat in certain positions😆

All the work we’ve been doing in the house should be finished this week and then we can crack on with the nursery, which is just putting things away and tidying up, I’ve washed most the clothes just things like pram suits and blankets!
Can’t believe there’s only 7 weeks left where has time gone😵

FTM and now overdue. Still reasonably active which I can't complain about but I just want my baby here. But then again, I don't want to have to go through labour and I'm questioning why I ever got pregnant lol. It feels like a long wait being 40+ weeks with zero signs of it happening anytime soon!

29 weeks yesterday and not feeling too bad to be fair. Insomnia is a pain but I’m having two hour lunchtime naps so not feeling awful. I decided last night as I was going to bed that I’m going to start an unrelated podcast, so I’ve spent a lot of time doing that today so that will likely fill up maternity leave. All my work has been taken off me or cancelled, so I’m currently just counting down the days to stop now.
On another note, may I recommend a cheap and cheerful Etsy shop? I bought a baby’s first initial necklace and I’ve been so impressed with the packaging and loveliness of it. The shop is Remember Jewellery, she’s based in Chester (I swear it’s not me!). Definitely worth a look for some cheaper, don’t worry if it breaks - type jewellery

I’m 36 weeks and struggling, everything is so uncomfortable! I popped into Asda to get a few last bits for my hospital bag and it took me 10x longer to walk around 🙃
Luckily my husband is WFH so we are getting the last jobs sorted out including shelves in the nursery, setting up the bedside crib and pram.

My husband said to me “you really hate being pregnant don’t you”, I said yes I wanted a baby, not 9 months of misery 😂

I'm also 36 weeks and struggling loads today 😭 went on an hour long dog walk and it's done me in (it was a gentle, flat walk - no inclines at all) I feel like I'm starting to waddle. I feel so lethargic. There's loads I need to get done as well so I need to kick myself up the bum.

I found I had to split my dog walks up into shorter walks and it made it so much more bareable especially the slower I have become! Otherwise I'd walk the dogs and that's all I'd do on a day off and felt like I wasted a day.

39 weeks, still working (until Thursday) and every single thing hurts now. Still consider work a break from my teeny tiny toddler boss at home, who has spent all evening ordering me around playing with dolls and reading books 🤣. For some reason I never ordered an armchair for her bedroom so for the past 20 minutes we’ve been cuddling on the tiny toddler armchair - me, her, 4 toy bunnies and a 39 week baby bump 😂 she’ then went into the nursery and stole a baby blanket and is now snuggled in bed with her blanket and bunnies, singing lullabies to them as she falls asleep and said “love you mummy” unprompted for the first time 🥹 so that’s just a little pep talk for everyone in discomfort that it is all worth it in the end!

When did everyone first feel baby move? I’m 17 weeks with first baby and she was super active when we went for our scan at 16 weeks but still don’t think I’ve felt anything yet! I know NHS say 16 - 24 weeks but interested know what others experience is
