Honestly all I can report is that she also seems to think the way out is through my ribs 
no signs of labour!
no signs of labour!
35wks this week and no offence to this baby but i am severely over pregnancy. good luck to you ladies that are so close to the finish line!!! 
Ladies who are a little further along, what pregnancy pillows do you recommend?
Really struggling actually. We’re still in hospital as he’s so wee. He’s amazing though. So much fun. Unfortunately one of the midwives woke me up yesterday morning to tell me we could go home, to then be told we couldn’t. I was just a ball of rage yesterday. Waiting on weighing to see if we can go home today. Not sure what to do about my near exploding boobs either.
I had this and have only just gotten rid of it - pillow between knees and a hot water bottle placed basically by my a kept it at bay for me. Unfortunately I also have to move every couple of hours throughout the night. Could try a duvet under your sheet to soften the mattress/skin contact? It's the worst pregnancy symptom I have, so I completely sympathise
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time @CallMeHollywood hope you both get to go home today.
I got this when I was first pregnant. Before I did a test it was one of the first odd things that made me think I was. Throughout pregnancy I have had bad sporadic leg ache at night which is normal I think. Sometimes at the top of my thighs around my pelvis too.
I think the last week or two I’ve been having some braxton hicks as well. I’m 32+3. When I was in hospital last week they said I was showing as having uterine contractions on the monitor. This was the whole time I was there (4days). But the doctor who sent me home in the end said sometimes smaller women do show this constantly throughout

Sorry to hear you’re still in hospital. Just think though, soon you’ll be home with your little one and enjoying Christmas.
I got a cheaper version of the Babybub pillow as I’m a side sleeper but roll onto my back a lot. I’ve found it very supportive, it keeps me on my side, it’s fully adjustable and it doesn’t take up too much space in the bed! I got the one with a large pillow that you can add in to put between legs as you get bigger and need more pelvic support.
I’ve got a Purflo one. It’s quite long and big but wow I wouldn’t be without it now. At 32 weeks I cannot sleep comfortably without it
I remember using my pillow way too early and I was like this is crap now I can't be without it
Did you buy a pump in the end? Hospital should be able to let you use one too actually (if you want to of course)
Another vote for the Babybub one. I got mine off Vinted and it works like a dream
Oh the sore boobs is the worst, I cried the whole day when mine were rock hard! I hand expressed a little bit to try to ease it but it didn’t touch the sides!
Hope you get to go home soon!
@CallMeHollywood ask your midwife if you can use their electric pump, they should have pre-made sterilised bottles and a special fridge to store the milk in (if you wish to BF of course). Sorry you’re having a rough time with baby, I ended up staying in for 5 nights and couldn’t wait to get home!
No, I didn’t have time. I can’t be bothered to even try at the moment. I just want to go home and no one is telling me anything.

Morbid as it sounds, it’s good to hear the stories of people who haven’t had such a good time. Thanks duck x
I have the mamas and papas one, it’s not the best but does the job and doesn’t take up the whole bed! Still keeps me comfy X
Yeah, sounds like you've been in hospital absolutely ages, you must be exhausted
Thanks ladies. Not worried about it taking up the whole bed because I’ve kicked Mr R in to the spare room because of his snoring
