They seem to have disappeared this morning, and I slept fairly well. I guess I was just panicking last night, i thought it was the real thing.
I had the same thing, particularly on days where I'd done a lot of strenuous stuff or lots of walking or generally rushing around stressing a bit. Then they went after I chilled out/rested.
First & foremost ask your midwife/doc about it, to be on the safe side. But also, listen to your body & know when to rest.The exhaustion has hit me like a freight train the last couple of days, I thought I was getting away with it. Woke up several times last night, too hot and then too sore....
I managed a nap yesterday, won't get one today though as I am work and quite busy so can't really have a sneaky nap!!
Looking forward to splurging in Aldi tomorrow!
What section would I find the breast pads and maternity pads in Boots? Was only in there for about a minute this morning to get some more rennie.....
Oh snap re the exhaustion, went to bed early but still woke up knackered, couldn't keep eyes open on train. Can't take naps apart from weekend as work all week but then there always seems to be too much to do on weekend (I need to take my own advice above
)
The breast pads in Boots were around where the breast pumps/baby monitors/bottles were. I got the washable ones, Boots brand. They only had Boots brand materniry pads but I want the special industrial strength green ones
that they use in the hospitals, I think I'll be able to get them in mothercare.
Dying to go to Aldi tomorrow now! Going to raid the place after work!
Nyquist, hope it's just a case of a big growth spurt. 90th percentile is still normal, it ain't off the chart yet.
My sister's first baby's head circumference was in the 90th percentile and she managed a back labour with just a bit of gas & air :eek: Think she was 9lbs. All my sisters babies are 9lbers, eek0 -
Barremic: my bh are lower down but that doesn't mean what you were experiencing wasn't bh either: as Twomums said ring doc if you have ANY doubts at all. ine feel like a tightening but they hurt down my lower back too: but I don't get them regularly either. And welcome
Nyquist when I had my GTT aswell they said they'd ring me if there was any problems.
Notsobusy boots here has a baby section and they are all there.
Going to buy last of stuff for hosp bag today and my nursing bras are getting delivered today too so should be all sorted then. I'm trying to work up the energy for my drive to Tralee right now: I'm exhausted and wouldn't go but have doc appt too so I have too: pregnancy and thyroid tiredness mixed feel like being hit with a bus repeatedly!!0 -

Which hospital are you in again. When I was in Rotunda last week, there were loads of women in for GTT tests and an awful lot of them were having to stand for ages & it was very warm. Not a good combo.
That really annoys me...there was probably loads of seats been taken up by partners and kids!
Last time we were in the hospital, it was packed too and one girl came out from the nurse and was waiting for her scan. Only my OH stood up to let her sit down. Some people just have no manners!Dunno if it's been 2 weeks since my last pic!!
But check the bump--HUGE!
Edit: My only craving in the background-coco pops nom nom!
You are most definately not huge...you look great. I think dragging it around all the time, makes us feel that we are a lot bigger than we really are.
Oh I forgot to say, at the wedding at the weekend, one girl was complimenting how well I looked. I was at the afters of her wedding about five or six weeks ago and wasn't showing at all. But then she says to me and fair play to you for wearing pink! I was totally taken aback and didn't really know what she meant or how to take it!NyquistFreak wrote: »So I was back at the maternity yesterday, got a scan, babys measuring huge, 4lbs 4oz already and still only 30 weeks along, in the 90 percentile, whatever that means. The whole way through the scan the doctor had this worried look on her face, and after sent me straight down to book GT test, they brought me in first thing this morning so sitting here now halfway between first and second blood test a little bit freaked out by the whole shenanegan! Sorry if this ends up a double post, had it all written out on the phone and it disappeared again soon as I posted! But ya, eek in general.
Hopefully, it's just a growth spurt and things will even out over the next few weeks. It's great they got you in for the GTT today.
My dad is an insulin dependent diabetic and my mum said she had GD on all seven of us, but my test still came back negative. So hopefully yours will too. Do get something to eat straight away tho, just in case your sugar levels are all over the place. You don't want to black out on top of everything else.
Looking at changing bags today...think I'm going to get one on amazon. They seem fairly reasonable and have got good reviews. I'd love a Cath Kidson one, but OH would kill me if I made him carry it!
Twomums, best of luck for tomorrow. I hope you and your partner have a wonderful day.

Hadn't really got too many contractions myself. Woke up this morning with the biggest tight belly, then my whole stomach moved for about a minute constantly ,
pretty sure it was the baby turning. Now have pains in my ribs,pretty sure its feet
That sounds like the baby turning I had the same except my little one was heading in the wrong direction kinda glad I'm not getting kicked in the ribs though it sounds painful! 0 -

I'm getting these too JG. Much more frequently in the last week or so, I figure it's because baby has gotten so big that he/she is running out of room. It can be very painful at times.
Im getting them all day
Hey has anyone seen from bump cards for father's day ??
My Oh's bday and fathers day is june0 -

Baby kicked the doppler non stop in docs today... was so cute
My whole next two weeks without seeing doc has just turned into a whole week because I have to go back for bloods in a fortnight :mad: but still a whole week next week with no doctors appts I get so excited about the littlest things!
Twomums I hope tomorrow is fantastic! And that you're all excited!!
Bought new dressing gown and Pjs for after birth today so when people take pics I don't look like a heap of crap...
I can't wait for Aldi: oh how things have changed!0 -
Aw how cute
I was looking in penny's today at pj's...but most of them had stupid pics or slogans on them. Bought a pair of men's ones, but then realised their not BF friendly! Might just buy men's bottoms (I like that they have pockets and are looser on me than the girlie ones) and a few vest tops or something!
I'd say once were in there, the last thing we will care about is how we look. I wldnt normally wear make up unless I was getting dressed up but I'm still packing my make up bag for the hospital!ha!
I'm going to leave big stickers on my bags with the bits that OH has to add in at the last minute...like camera, phones etc. going to start packing tonight and see what else I need to get.
Went to dealz today, they have lovely Winnie the pooh stuff for babies! Got some disposable nappy sheet things (baby brain!) for €1.49! Think there is 3 or 4 in the pack. I love that shop 0 -
