It's just in the last few days that the exhaustion has really hit me, no energy at all.

My bump has really grown in the last week. It was still pretty small until 30 weeks but it's had a real growth spurt in the last few days. Maybe that's why I'm so tired!

this is actually what I think is happening. every couple of days, I have really good energy for about 2 days then it hits me and I literally don't want to move for another two days. I think it is growth spurts.

My muscles are feeling weird this weekend. Like I want to stretch them but i feel at any minute, I'm going to get a cramp. It's especially in my legs upper thigh and calves.

I also had this really weird experience which happened before where the muscle under my breastbone like my rib or something went into some kind of spasm. It was weird. Spoke to the midwife about it at a visit and she told me it was the babies foot :-s I don't think she was really listening to me tbh because it's not the first time in my pregnancy it happened. I had it happen another time in the first trimester.

I can't find anything online about it either!

Have you asked a physio about it? I've had pain around the same area and she told me my muscles were having difficulty coping with the extra weight. She did some work on me which helped and recommended a back support for the car and home. It didn't get rid if the problem but it really helped.
On a different note, I was put on extra iron by my gp. Apparently we could lose up to a litre of blood during child birth and low iron can effect ability to breast feed so iron levels aren't just about energy levels now. Hadn't read that anywhere - a couple of midwives told me at my last hospital appointment. I went on galfer and find it great, although it caused me a bit of constipation. Prune juice is my new best friend even though it's horrible!!

Saralee4 · 25-05-2015 7:48am

Thank nettie! I'll look into seeing a physio about it! Good to know I'm not the only one tho!

I asked about iron at my appointment on Friday as some people seem to get told to take the tablets but it hadn't been mentioned to me at all. The midwife said it's cos my iron levels were so good at my first appointment. They did a quick blood test on Friday to check what they're at now & it was 13.4 which is apparently excellent. Kinda relieved not to have to take the tablets as I'm nauseous enough as it is & that seems to be one of the common side effects!

Jem123 · 04-06-2015 9:17am

I had a scan yesterday and all good with placenta (at 34 weeks)

Baby weighing in at 5pd 14oz already so another big one coming!

Saralee4 · 04-06-2015 10:53am

Im the same jem! Had my scan and placenta has moved and baby weighing 5 and a half pounds. Also found out the baby is a girl

I found out much earlier in my last pregnancy but since they didnt provide anomoly scan at 20 weeks i couldnt find out til now. Im so happy. I know its not natural to find out and a lot of people like the suprise but i find myself bonding better knowing and referring to her as she and being able to buy things not just in neutral for her arrival. I have another girl and ive been dying to know what we are having so i could organise all her 'hand me downs'! They were taking up so much space but glad now that i will get another use from alot of her stuff. Alot of things she never even wore

I'm the same, found out the gender and love knowing. Haven't told people so it feels like a special little secret, plus I feel like I've bonded much more by knowing.
Baba's a buster too by all accounts but I've heard so many accounts of them overestimating the weight that I'm not attaching much weight (geddit?) to that. Plus things like preeclampsia can strike and really effect baby's weight so we'll wait (weight!!) and see. Sorry for the cheesy jokes, couldn't resist, giddy cos it's the weekend.
Have to, have to, have to reiterate how brilliant extra iron is. It takes a few weeks to kick in but it's worth the wait. This time last week I was a ball of pain from sheer exhaustion. This week I'm full of energy and fun, two things I wasn't expecting to experience again til about October, or, if some mums were to be believed, ever!! So don't suffer ladies, Galfer all the way! Gonna up it to two per day from week 36.
How are people getting on? Anyone finished up work already? Time is flying!!

Time is really flying now! I've four weeks left in work, can't wait to finish up. I've been getting pretty severe swelling in my feet & lower legs & it's always much worse by Friday so sitting at a desk all day definitely isn't helping. My GP offered me a sick note today at my appointment when he saw the swelling but I'll try stick it out another couple of weeks at least. I've also started to get carpal tunnel in my hands in the last few days, hoping it doesn't get worse. At the moment I wake up with painful fingers but it eases during the day.
What about you, are you finishing up soon?

greenorchard just take the sicknote seriously! You wont gain anything from staying in work longer. They will manage without you for an extra month!

I made that mistake on my first pregnancy and was so worried about how work were going to cope so I worked too hard and it wasn't appreciated or worth it in the end.

greenorchard · 05-06-2015 9:35pm

Ah I'll see how I get on in the next week or so. I do have the option to work from home sometimes so I might start doing that & see how it goes. I definitely won't feel bad about finishing a week or two early anyway

skylarkin2010 · 05-06-2015 10:27pm

Hey All,

35 weeks today , i can't believe how fast the time has gone..

I still have to pack my bag! What are people putting in the labour bag though?

On my first, I had got confused and just packed one big bag for the hospital stay. When I was being moved to the labour room, the midwife said 'no your taking that bag, its too big' (it wasn't even that big)! Anyway she sent my husband to put it at the reception down the hallway. During this time I was having particularly painful contractions, the midwife left me in the hall alone and was in a side office having a chat while we waited on my husband to return and I got sick all over the hall floor. I remember being embarrassed. Husband came back and then had to go back to the bag at reception to get me a new nightdress out of the bag.

when I got into the ward, I was put on the bed and after getting sick I asked the new midwife 'can I have a drink' and she looked me like I was some kind of alcho and said 'em we don't permit alcohol during labour'! I had to explain to her that I meant water!

I didn't really use anything from the bag so Im not sure what I might need??

skylarkin2010 · 05-06-2015 11:05pm

Oh my that sounds pretty horrific... you poor thing as if the whole first time labour wasn't daunting enough..
well that is good to know then the smaller the better, in the antenatal class they suggested a labour bag small including nightdress slippers and then the maternity bag with baby stuff and fresh nightgown pads etc in the car for after.

I bought the stuff but need to get it packed and ready ... its all becoming very real now ..
baby movements are much different as the time passes more like a rolling , or moving around..
heartburn on occasion but sleeping ok.. well other then im snoring since i got pregnant driving the OH mad ..

BTW haha on the alcohol assumption... Water obviously... maybe bottled water and straw for the bag

Greenorchard I suppose it depends on your conditions at work but if you won't suffer too badly financially take the time.
I'm swelling a bit too. Sometimes I forget myself and wear socks and my calves look like the Mitchelin Man wearing a belt! That said, I'm kinda glad it's still sock weather. People keep telling me how awful it is to be expecting in hot weather. But then if I was to listen to every story I wouldn't have been able to loave the house since November with the misery.
Self diagnosed myself with carpel tunnel in my wrists today so I feel your pain Greenorchard, literally! I presume it'll go once the fluid goes, anybody know? I must ask the GP next week.

I had severe carpal tunnel for about the last 3 months of the pregnancy but I had it 24/7. The best advice I can give is get in contact with your hospitals physio dept and get the splints for nighttime. They were a complete life saver for me. My baby is now 12 days old and while I don't need the splints, and the fluid is definitely going down, I still have numb fingers!

My GP diagnosed me with it yesterday. My wrists are ok, it's all in my fingers. Like Allirog said, he suggested splints are the best thing to help with it & yes, it does go away afterwards. At the moment mine's only sore during the night/in the morning, though my fingers stay swollen all day.

Had an early night last night & my feet and ankles look completely normal again this morning

skylarkin2010 · 13-06-2015 8:36pm

Hey ladies,
I have stiff fingers and wrist on my right hand, i figures its just the swelling also..
2 weeks left at work cannot wait for it...
How are ye all feeling? getting excited now 4 weeks to due date...

Pudner7 · 15-06-2015 8:57am

6 weeks to go here. 4 left in work. It could come sooner to be honest. I feel fine but heart burn, reflux and the constant trips to the loo at night have me wrecked by morning so I'm finding my concentration levels wearing off by about 2pm. I can't wait to finish up. I plan on taking a few days off so I won't do a full week. No swelling thank god. I feel for ye ladies with carpal tunnel. It sounds awful.
I'm half way through my ante natal classes and I love them. They're getting me very excited. Labour ward tour at this weeks one.
I have to say as well I think it's the perfect time of year for being pregnant/giving birth. At least it's bright and not freezing when you're traipsing to the loo at 4am and I can imagine getting up for night feeds is slightly easier with the sun up early.

hey there, I was the same with heart burn at night and I complained loads the last day I was in with my consultant. She prescribed me Losec.. She said it's perfectly safe to take during pregnancy. I can't describe the change it's made to me.. I don't even wake to go to the loo near as much now and I am sleeping a 100 times better. Before this I eating rinne's and drinking gaviscon by the bucket load! I can't understand why she didn't give it to me sooner..

nettie1 · 19-06-2015 10:32pm

Hi ladies,
Things are starting to change a bit here. I'm almost 37 weeks. Back is very weak and pelvic floor exercises just feel odd somehow. How is everyone else getting on?
Went for my antenatal appointment yesterday and the midwife started to go through the day of delivery with me. I thought I had another appointment but apparently not!! Nearly lost my stand up! It's starting to get real!!
I think I'm ok with the parenting lark - don't expect to get any sleep for the first two years and then feel like you're failing as a mother forever, has been the general trend of helpful comments to date, so that's ok. ðŸ˜¬ Ah no, I'm looking forward to meeting baba and starting on a new adventure as a family, whatever it may bring, including sleep deprivation and mild to moderate anxiety for the rest of my life.
It's labour I'm dreading!! How much pain is normal? None of it looks normal or natural to me!! Not impressed!! I'd gladly put up with the pain and aches and swelling and all that for another few months to avoid the labour!!
Rant over. How are my ladies??

greenorchard · 20-06-2015 9:45am

36 weeks here, the end is getting so close! I'm grand, still have stupid nausea but no pain or anything like that. Getting lots of swelling in my feet & ankles, the weather isn't helping with that! Still though, when I pictured being 36 weeks pregnant I thought I'd be a LOT more uncomfortable & huge by now but I feel mostly ok & energy levels are grand. Thankfully the carpal tunnel is still just bothering me during the night & first thing in the morning, it's fine during the day.

I'm the opposite nettie, not too worried about labour but I'm starting to get nervous about looking after a tiny human! The 'helpful' comments get annoying, don't they? Apparently we'll never sleep, go to the cinema, out for dinner or on holidays again!

Nead21 · 22-06-2015 12:20pm

Haven't been on here in ages as we moved house and we're still awaiting Internet. 37 weeks tomorrow and I had to send my son to my mam's for the day as I'm getting what feels like period pain. Not sure if it's the start of anything but having a rest and seeing how I feel.

Sorry to hear some of you are not feeling great. Also suffering from hand and feet swelling. I can't wear my rings anymore :-( Heartburn has been a killer the last month and if one more person tells me it's going to be a big baby they are going to get a punch in the face!

Sorry to be the bearer if bad news but the "helpful" comments only get worse after the baby is born.

Almost our month now ladies which I can't believe. It's gone so quickly....starting to remember the newborn things now..:-)

Oh did the pains stop Nead or was it the start of something?

It's definitely the one downside to being heavily pregnant at this time of year - the warmer weather makes the swelling worse. I had to take my rings off a few weeks ago.

One more Monday in work for me

Jem123 · 23-06-2015 10:02am

I'll be 37 weeks this Friday and already being told I'm very low and look like I could go at any minute!

My first was bang on time so hoping this guy is a little early

Duberlin Chick · 24-06-2015 11:23am

How's everyone getting on in work or have you finished up?? I've 4 weeks til due date and really struggling even just at desk. Am wondering am I the only one hanging in with 4 weeks to go?

I'm hanging in there too, am nearly 37 weeks and have another week left in work after Friday. Am finding it ok apart from the heat & swollen feet.

Pudner7 · 24-06-2015 1:34pm

Hi Ladies, 3 weeks left in work but I could happily finish up now. The heat is a killer at the moment. I'm considering signing myself off for the last week if the heat persists. Even clothes are a bit of a joke at the moment. Nothing is comfortable! I'm so ready for Baby Pud to arrive!

Duberlin Chick · 24-06-2015 1:36pm

I may need to cut these maternity skinny jeans off later cause as the day progresses it doesn't look like they'll be able to come off over these ankles later on!

nettie1 · 25-06-2015 6:54am

I'm finishing up tomorrow. Can't come soon enough! I'm spending up to 11 hours in bed to get through the day! Am trying to finish paperwork at home so it's kinda mental.
Resisting the urge to nest as well so the state of the house is driving me crazy. Every speck is annoying me but I haven't the energy or the time to tackle it.
Everyone is telling me I'm dropping and I'll go as soon as I stop work. I hope that's not the case as I REALLY want some rest before baba arrives. I can only imagine it must be very difficult if there are other children at home. I'm lucky to be a first timer.

Roesy · 25-06-2015 8:54am

39 weeks! Have a scan later. Dying to see has bub moved down any bit. All signs point to no!!

Pudner7 · 29-06-2015 2:18pm

Almost July Ladies. Anyone panicing a bit yet? Hospital bags all packed?
Was just reading up about taking Rescue Remedy during labour to help with focusing and not freaking out. Any one here heard of anyone using it or tried it themselves?

Hi Pudner,

Can't believe it's our month tomorrow. Although I am near the end and it could be Aug, still feels exciting!! No panic here. Just excitement. Bag is not packed, but all the things are stacked on a shelf and the bag is open beside it. Haven't wanted to actually pack it yet. Plus still to wash all the baby clothes. Planned to do it today, but wanted to dry them on the line in the sun and weather didn't look so good this morning, turned out amazing though.

Mostly feeling good. Better than I expected for 36 weeks. Tired, plus pelvic pain and carpal tunnel in my hands but sure that's all to be expected. Still walking a minimum of 30 minutes a day and usually some other light exercise too. Sadly I now have 5 stretch marks, very upset

despite cocoa butter and oil on my tummy all the time. Scared that they will just keep coming until the end now

I use rescue remedy all the time, have done all my life so will have some with me for sure. Also arnica tablets are good and I have heard amazing things about the essential oil Clary Sage. It's meant to help a LOT. You can just inhale it, or mix some with another oil and have your OH massage your back with it. Or 1-2 drops in of a bowl of water and use a wash cloth in it.

Hope everyone is feeling good and excited for what's to come!!

greenorchard · 01-07-2015 11:07am

Happy due month ladies, very exciting!

Wholeheartedly, I've also heard great things about clary sage oil. I bought a blend of clary sage, lavender & a few other oils, it's supposed to be good during labour.

I'm feeling pretty ok apart from a return of bad acid reflux lately. No aches or pains at all & still very mobile which is nice & unexpected at this stage!

Nead21 · 01-07-2015 8:50pm

Happy July ladies!

Rosey did your baby move down? Im in the same boat....walking everywhere to get things moving. Baby has dropped but still further to go i think. Lots of crampy pains and tightenings so hopefully i wont go overdue. 38 weeks now....cant believe how quickly it's gone.

Head still floating as of last week. Due tomorrow and have a scan but to be honest I'll be surprised if it's not still floating. Definitely going overdue I'd say!

Nead21 · 03-07-2015 12:27am

Our little boy was born yesterday at 2;10pm. Laboured at home all morning but didn't realise how quickly I was progressing. Barely made it to the hospital with him being born 15 mins after I arrived. Thrilled to bits even if I am still in shock!

Looking forward to reading about the rest of the July babies

Duberlin Chick · 03-07-2015 3:08am

Congrats!!! You lucky thing!!!!

Sitting on the sofa eating my 3rd cool pop at 3am. Up for work at 5.30am. Bad times! Lol

greenorchard · 03-07-2015 8:04am

Congrats Nead. Wow that was quick, nice & early too! Enjoy your little man

Pudner7 · 03-07-2015 8:51am

Aw congrats Nead. First July baby on here. That's amazing and fair play to you. Oh very exciting. I'm end of the month too but am hoping to go this month. Lots of aches and pains and tightenings too so I'm hoping they are good signs!
In regards to the clary sage oil. How will ye use it while labouring? Must visit the health shop today and get arnica tablets.

Wholeheartedly · 03-07-2015 9:35am

Congratulations Nead! Brilliant news. Hope you are feeling good.

You can use the clary sage oil a few different ways, couple of drops in a bath during early labour, few drops in a base oil and have your partner massage your lower back, or wherever you feel you need it. And also a bowl with hot water, add 10 drops and then use a facecloth in it and everytime you have a contraction, wring out cloth and place over pubic bone. Repeat with each contraction. Replace water often, as it's less effective when cool.

well done nead.
I'm envious. im due on 22 July. baby dropped over a week ago . feeling lots of pressure down below. 3rd baby.

Drdoc · 03-07-2015 11:11pm

Congrats Nead21! Very jealous! Did you go early on your first?
No sign of baby dropping at all here so no pressure/pains etc. Induction looming in 10 days or so due to some pregnancy complications so not holding out too much hope for before that!

Nead21 · 04-07-2015 9:31am

Went at 39 weeks on my first. I was induced due to blood pressure rising and protein in my urine. I did a fierce amount of walking in the last few weeks to get this baby to move down as I couldn't bare the heartburn I was having. He actually only really dropped over the weekend and still had a bit to go. Started really moving down Wednesday night and I I guess he wanted to keep going after that!

Hope your complication is not too serious.

nettie1 · 06-07-2015 7:41am

Congratulations Nead! And thanks for letting us know. I'd hate the thoughts of everyone disappearing from this forum without letting us know how it all went!!
I'm in week 39 and seem to be in the minority of people who don't want baby to arrive early. I've had a fairly good pregnancy so don't crave it to end, and baba seems safe where she is.
I read on an American forum that ladies are expressing to induce labour. I nearly fell down with the shock as I hadn't heard of it. Is anyone doing that??

Nead21 · 06-07-2015 9:21am

Can't wait to read of the next July babies. I really didn't expect to be the first to go at all. Trying to settle in at home and find my feet with a newborn again. My husband has to go into work tomorrow morning until lunchtime so I'll get a taste of what's to come next week when it's just me. I have to say for anyone expecting their second baby I'm definitely adjusting quicker than I did with my first and definitely not experiencing the same kind of shock.

skylarkin2010 · 06-07-2015 11:48am

Wonderful news nead 😃😃
Your all done how are you adapting?
I'm due on Friday ..... Apt with midwife tomorrow no pains yet !
