All going great here too
Feeling great and baby is thriving. We had our scan last week and all is looking good. Also found out we're having a little boy, which was a huge shock after having a girl last time! Just delighted though.
Pinkshoes, if you're looking at cots, I'd recommend getting a co-sleeper, especially if you are planning to breastfeed. We didn't get one last time and I regretted it, so we have one lined up for this little man already.

Aw congrats MrsWhippy
24 week GP check done and dusted, everything looks great thankfully. Negligible weight gain, my blood pressure is perfect and no sign of ketones which bodes well for gestational diabetes. Nothing now until the dreaded glucose tolerance test in September. Getting lots of kicks throughout the day now so he seems pretty happy in there!0 -

Haha - you would imagine so! We completed ours on Tuesday night - we were the only ones there for 3 sessions (one a week) so it was great, a midwife, district nurse and physiotherapist each night, very relaxed and chatty atmosphere. Learned LOTS (and I thought I had the basics covered.. errr.. no) Found them very beneficial Anyone thinking of a tens machine? I'm considering it alright... 0

Well I can only comment as a complete first timer and my own experience but I really enjoyed ours. Relaxed, chatty, very informal and friendly. Every question was given time and explored and there was a real sense of support and encouragement - we actually looked forward to them!
I thought I was fairly clued in on everything but learnt a lot from the classes, found them well worth going to. Mimihand - the cervix model was interesting alright, when you see the difference between 2cm - 6cm - 10cm dialation you'll understand All good though, we're designed for it (apparently!) 0 -

It's getting harder to sleep. I'm definitely getting more aches in the past week too. Plus I'm not happy with the fact in the last two weeks my thighs and bum seem to have turned to jelly. I'll have to walk more - my laziness is catching up with me!
I'm due on the 4th, I'm wondering if I'll end up having an end of November baby instead of dec. 0 -

I wouldn't worry too much about getting on the scales Whispered (I could however be wrong!) I go by my clothes etc, once everything else bar the trousers are still fitting then I'd say you're doing fine. Any dramatic weight increase would be noticed by your GP - have you been attending your GP in between hospital visits for assessment?
I'm due 10th December and was told it was expected and healthy for me to put on roughly 5kg between here and the birth - seems a lot!
Thankfully I havent had any cravings and have been relatively able to stay away from the 'goodies'. If I can keep it that way between here and December I'll be happy. Take it easy on yourself, have the occasional treat and enjoy the next few weeks. The hardwork is ahead, plenty of opportunity then to loose a few pounds

I'm sure you're right - I have a midwife apt. on Wednesday so I'll mention it to her then. I was a healthy weight before getting pregnant so they're probably not too worried about it. I lost a lot of weight before getting pregnant and I still haven't hit that again so I'm happy enough, just worried now about the next 3 months or so!
5kg does seem like a lot to put on, but you must be healthy enough to have kept your gain moderate until now for them to say that. 0 -
Ugh had such a stressful day today. I've been having palpitations now for a few weeks- mentioned it at my 22 week anti natal and cos I'd had them a couple of times before getting pregnant they referred me to a cardiologist. Last week I got a 24 hour monitor on- of course not a single palpitation to be had the whole time! Back a bit at the weekend but today they were terrible at work- at least 3 hours of weak racing pulse, I think I was stressing so much about it I was making myself feel sick and dizzy with worry. Left work early to go to the docs but of course before I was halfway home I was totally back to normal! Going for my 26 week GP visit on thurs- will say to him- I think they can do 5 day monitors too- just such a worry that it'll affect the baby. As of tonight tho he's kicking away as usual without a bother 0

Hi everyone, anyone else got a high reading for the glucose tolerance test? I was surprised tbh as I've been pretty careful with food, I started out the pregnancy overweight and have put on 3lb to date. They said my bloods were borderline so they are re-testing next week. Until then no sugar or refined carbs are passing my lips, I hope this can be controlled with diet as I really don't want to have to take insulin.
On the plus side we had a 3D ultrasound today and it was incredible! We could see whose family he looked more like (mine!), every little movement and yawn and even a little bit of hair According to the sonographer, he's already 3.5lb :eek: Another reason to avoid GD at all costs! I've been finding the last couple of weeks rough with insomnia, backache etc and it's no wonder with that little bruiser...! 0 -

I'm just doing the hospital ones in the Rotunda. I got them to sign me up while checking out at my first booking visit, have had one already and will be starting the rest in the coming weeks
I am sore and exhausted all the time now. Getting random bouts of insomnia, didn't get to sleep til 6:30 this morning, had to get up at 7:30 :rolleyes: Baby is lying right on my sciatic nerve and the only thing that relieves the pain is getting to lie down at regular intervals, not great when you're at work all day. I'm going to bring in a yoga mat and find 20 minutes to lie down on my lunchbreak in one of the meeting rooms, if they have an issue with that I'll tell them it's better than me being out on a cert!
The 3D pics have cheered me up though. He's ridiculously cute
He's been head down for a few weeks now so here's hoping he stays that way. According to the sonographer's report, he's measuring 2 weeks ahead and she revised the due date to 2nd December :eek: Obviously I won't get my hopes up but it'd be a helluva lot better than 2 weeks late! 0 -

I know in the coombe they have a set of reasons for testing. I got tested as I have PCOS, another reason might be a high bmi when you get pregnant and when I was being tested they had a girl in who had fainted so her consultant wanted to rule it out. I'm sure there are other reasons too. But I don't think they do everybody.
I've been getting a weird popping sensation and pain in my pelvis when I'm in bed and go to roll over. And when I first get out of bed it's sore to stand straight, walk, lift one leg off the floor etc It's pretty ok otherwise, but it's really effecting my sleep.
Sounds like pelvic girdle pain, I suffer the same thing 0 -

It seems to come and go without much relation to what I've done the previous day. I woke up crying in pain this morning, my hips feeling like id slept on a rock. I did nothing strenuous at all yesterday. A small bit of walking, although I was wearing low heels.
A few days ago I was out walking the dogs and it was more strenuous than I had expected, I ended up having to climb up a 4ft wall and over a fence. I was expecting to be sore afterwards but not at all. I wish I could figure out what triggers it!0 -

It's hormone related! It can get worse at certain phases during your pregnancy, depending on when relaxin is released. I get something similar and did during my last pregnancy too. Bear in mind that you can take paracetamol safely for those bad days.
Can also help to see a (good) physio if it does get chronic ... I feel your pain though, it's really awful
