I definitely noticed an increase in Braxton Hicks with this weather. The office ran out of water bottles for the cooler day before yesterday :eek: and only got it back late yesterday so I was rationing the water in my bottle and I'm sure that contributed to it. Definitely making a conscious effort to drink loads.Just a question (and sorry for TMI) but has anybody thought about doing perineal massage?
I'm definitely going to be doing this, so will be interested to hear what you ladies (further along) actually use for it. I can only associate olive oil with cooking! I don't see why you can't use baby oil but there must be a reason.She said something like KY Jelly would work too..
I'd use it if it was the best thing to use but I'd feel very odd as a preg woman going into shop to buy it
I'm really noticing the heat now that I'm heavily pregnant but I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can as I've missed this heat for, what, a year!! I don't want it to go away so I'm doing my best to get comfortable in it. I'm sauntering around in vests & knickers in the house and putting shower very cool.
Well got my car last night so I'm a happy chappy, putting it in for a full service and general safety check tomorrow. I don't know what to do with my old car as I really don't see anyone driving it. I might have to pay someone to take it away!
Is anyone going to do a bit of sunbathing? I think I'll do a little just to get the vit D, using sunscreen of course. I'm going to keep my belly covered as the skin there is so tight it would burn in minutes. Maybe just keeping it to no more than 20 mins/ half hour exposure so don't overheat. I'm not looking to get a tan, but a healthy glow for those post birth pics would be great!0 -
Geez I was up at 1.15ish to pee & then I got a tiny lick on the hand at 3.30ish from the dog...she needed to pee too...I guess she was a good dog & drank loads yesterday
I do pelvic floors when I remember but I've not been great at remembering :rolleyes: I have done them on & off for years

Try a packed train in this heat!
Just to throw it out there to anyone who's been absent for a couple weeks, there is a FB group set up for users of this thread. It's set to a private closed group so as not to give away our top secret Boards ID's to our friends/families Tis handy if we want to post photos more personal pics, arrange meet ups etc.
If you want to join in, just PM me your FB name (ie; the exact name your FB account is under), I can't search via email addresses.0 -

Hi Mink, I sent a pm there a few days ago alright, I can't remember if my account is searchable at all though! If you have trouble get back to me anyway
kildareash ya i was wondering what the hell was up yesterday with the belly going round doing my messages! picked up 6 x 2litre bottles of water for 2.50 in aldi though so that should help!
So baby has a new and terrible game: punch mam in the cervix. Happened about 3 times last night, the first one was so horrible and unexpected I actually nearly dropped my dinner, I was just after standing cooking and bringing the wok to the table, stopped me in my tracks! I got another this morning, not liking it very much, feels weird, and only 33weeks now tomorrow. Maternity appointment Monday so will ask about it then - of course muggins here realised that she knows neither her doctors number, or name. just where to find her one day a week, how the hell did i manage to go this long and only realise this now! on the case to find out anyway, but she's not even listed in the clinic when i looked it up! eh - eek!0 -
Hi Nyquist, I sent you a friend request I think last weekend, you gotta add me & the I can add you to the group. I'll PM you my actual name
now. If it still doesn't show up, just search for me and friend request me.
I hate those feelings in the cervix. I feel most of baby's hiccups down there for some bizzare reason! It's so strange0 -

I'm now trying to knit a baby cardigan: I think my version of nesting involves alot of knitting for some reason... now if only I was actually any good at it it would be great Also I don't know what half the stuff in the pattern means: just aswell the lady in the knitting shop is so nice!!
My belly looked like a pyramid last night: it was so odd! Baby was pushing a body up through my belly: it was kinda icky in a cool way!0 -

Jesus when are people going to learn that YOU DO NOT GIVE OUT TO OR WORRY PREGNANT WOMEN!! I don't care if you are a doctor!! It just makes us so worried & the blood pressure goes up etc. Kildareash I'm sure it will all be fine, do what you can to avoid that doctor for the future. I don't know why they are worrying you re baby measuring a little ahead, I've always heard it can vary by up to 2 weeks which is the case with you.
I miss my OH! He's been really busy all week and we went to bed at same time only once this week, we had dinner together once, he's not really been originating communication during the day. I have a sneaking fear I may have maxed out his capacity to absorb baby/pregnancy-talk! He's going on a work/bachleors party thing tonight (actually for a gay guy who is marrying his partner over in the uk this weekend which is cool) & then staying in his ma's so I won't see him til mid afternoon tomorrow.
I must resolve to talk about other things and let him bring up baby stuff (which he won't probably :rolleyes:)0 -
-
Kildareash - glad to see you stick up for yourself honestly they make a mistake & then have a go at you re stuff! It's not your fault they realised so late that you are borderline GD :rolleyes:
I'm also not sure why they are so worried re your baby measuring two weeks ahead! Our babies are due the same day & mines abdomen is measuring two weeks ahead at her 31+4 scan. Her legs were two weeks ahead at 26+4 but he couldn't get a good look at them last time but he did say she had a substantial foot :eek: . Her head has always been about a week ahead taking into account our donors size my consultant is happy with her size!
If my memory is right it was you who told me about your tall nephew always being ahead in clothes size etc so if there is a family history of bigger genes in the family I can't see why it's a problem
Don't let them stress you anyway 0 -

You should have told me you were going to Ikea, I still have one of those 10% off Children section vouchers (sent one to Twomums). Well you know what area I'm in if you want to pick it up. I can PM you my mobile number if you want to get it. I can't really drive anywhere as car will be in garage.
Yeah the baby stuff is pretty much on my mind all the time, can't help it - it's right in front of my face
He's gigging Sat & Sun night and we have to go out to a "thing" with friends on Sun for the whole afternoon. Feck it, I'll try see him the bank hol weekend I'm just freaking out a bit as we're running out of weekends and have a lot of sh1t to do and I'm not fit for much after work on the weekdays! 0 -

Oh, I'd completely forgot about the vouchers. We only decided yesterday to go. Thanks anyway tho, your very kind.
It's scary how little time we have left! I have to work Monday now but well be spending the rest of the week sorting the house out! I've so many jobs I want done, it was the only way we will get round to it coz weekends r just too busy and we both need time to just relax!0 -

Kildareash that sucks... it took them 5 weeks to tell you you had it because you were so borderline and then have to listen to that... sometimes docs are just painful. I'm not sure why they are worried about the two weeks ahead thing either: as twomums said some babies are just bigger, and with gd its highly unlikely you'd go over your due date regardless? Also I'm very jealous of you off to Ikea

I wonder if you are having them but not bad enough to wake you so your body just incorporates them into your dreams
Enjoy ikea today
Looks like another lovely day out there today although I'm judging that on the brightness through the curtains as I'm still in bed It was lovely at 6.30am when I was up feeding the dog :rolleyes: 0 -

It is Mink, I put on two loads last night specifically for the line this morning drying away now!
The bump had hiccups for the first time (that I've felt) this morning all I know is everytime my partner has bump time she gets lifted off the bump by a foot 0 -
Oh it's gorgeous out, great clothes drying weather!
I can't tell at all what's sticking out of me, I'd imagine it's a foot or a bum.
Need to confront weeding the garden, just can't get the motivation!
Painted my toenails last night and it was a real struggle, also got very swollen feet for the first time, went down when I put them up but it's a taste of what's to come. They looked like old lady feet!
ugh you've just reminded me I've a couple plants to move on to the ground before the die in their little boxes!
Seriously swollen feet here for the first time two yesterday, it was horrible! Feel so sorry for any of ye that's been dealing with that so far, I had one little evening of it and I was a walking whinge! Probably the heat, although I drank 2litres of water yesterday! Wondering how i can avoid same again now this evening. I've my uncles 50th to go to later, all the family will be there and I don't want to be broken in the corner!
Hope ye're all getting to enjoy a bit of the nice weather anyway 0 -

Javagal - starting at 1 when you can't join in is a lot to ask - you could always head down a little later esp as you have been the driver all week! I can understand why you are somewhat pissed off at this stage
My partner is the other extreme & is (by her own decision) on non-alcoholic beer until the baby is here! I've told her she can drink if she wants to - she doesn't have many anyway but I think the fact that she had planned on having a beer the night I fell really affected her & she wants to be alcohol free in case anything happens 0 -
Java I hear you on that, my OH is the very same, at least I don't drive so Im not playing the cart horse on top of everything, but ya I'm starting to get well pissed off about watching everyone else get drunk and have good time, its really becoming clear to me what a serious drinking culture we live in! His buddy was there buying him tequila in front of me the last day, whatever about a social drink now that was the last straw like! (unreasonable part coming right up) so I had a bit of a hissy fit and said its up to him if he wants to be getting so drunk, but if I DO go early and he's in that state he won't be coming in with me, it'll be my mother, couldn't be dealing with that! Same now as some of ye, theres barbecue and birthdays (including his own!) and all sorts pretty much every weekend between now and the Scary Day. He's the other way with me though, trying to put me off coming along cos he knows I'll just be sitting there sober, judging everyone from my sober judging stool. ha. Its actually no fun, but at least he's trying to include you. Anyone else getting pure nervous of crowds lately though? Got co elbow into the belly there (barely touched me now in fairness, didn't hurt but just felt weird?) and I'm gone very odd about having too many people around me now at all! 0

I hear ya about the drinking culture.
My ohs mam has a drinking problem-they all know it but still go up and drink with her and then when she turns nasty when she's drunk , they get upset about it to the ladies in their lives!
I feel the same about crowds, im very protective of my bump, i find no one Will move out your way if they're blocking you, as if its my fault they're in my way.
Today is just pissing me off from all angles. So im out my back in my maxi dress with garden gloves taking some frustration out on weeds. My oh best not come near me yet,
or worms,
or else!0 -
I think babs is the wrong way around and lying diagonally: I keep thinking its a head up by my ribs and getting kicked to death on my right side: I'm probably totally wrong: but something keeps coming out the side of my tummy and I'm sure kicks are stronger than punches??!
Java and Nyquist: I'd be pissed too: although like Twomums my oh is nearly gone to the other extreme these days!
Was back in inlaws house earlier and there was visitors and we were all out sitting in the sun: and I had to go puke: I was mortified but I was so hot and kept drinking water which triggered puking. I was even on a swing seat under a canopy to keep cooler Seriously embarassing 0 -

My hubby has been drinking a bit this weekend too, while we've been at home having BBQs. I can't say I mind, he's going out of his way to make sure that I am well fed and watered and not overheating, and he's not getting smashed if you know what I mean.
He's going to stop drinking in June too so that he's always able to drive.
The heat is killing me though, it's too damn hot. I actually got burned yesterday, despite spending 90% of the day under a big tree with a book. Ouch. So, I'm in factor 50+ kiddie sunblock today!
Looking forward to seeing the Avengers later 0 -
