It doesn't stop when you have the baby either.

So many random strangers have pawed at my baby - of course I'd ask them not to, if I had warning, but they're doing it before I've a chance to say anything.

A young lad, maybe in his early twenties, possibly hungover, did it on the train just last weekend - in fairness, it's usually little old ladies, having a young fella do it was a first. I don't care who it is, though - if you don't know me, and if you don't have my express permission, don't touch my baby! :mad:

I dunno what is wrong with people!I wouldn't touch another person like that ever,or a new born unless I was friends with the mum and had asked was it okay!

My 6 month old niece was asleep in her buggy while my sis and I were sitting outside a cafe, and this complete stranger of an old man came over and said 'his blanket's over his face!' and then pulled down the blanket, waking the baby from her nap in the process..!!

I am bracing myself for this kind of thing in 3ish weeks time :pac:

I hear you. 15 weeks today and still vomiting once/twice a day and permanently nauseous. I'm so over it, it's really getting me down

madeinamerica

still on the 'people are annoying' line - I was at my book club last night and one of the girls had a wonderful monologue at me: you look full term, no really, you do, you look full term etc etc. Thanks. I'm 34 weeks. I've at least 6 fecking weeks to go, what'll I look like then?!

My bloody pelvis!
Wasn't doing too badly over the last few days, a bit achy but as I'm 32 weeks I was accepting enough of that. Was a good girl yesterday and went to my ante natal yoga despite being wrecked and dying to just sleep.
Came home and the baby was being very uncooperative- kicking hard and moving about rather roughly. Eventually seemed to calm down and I went to sleep.
Woke up at 2am with shooting pains in my pubic bone- it was actually a little scary and I was tempted to wake my husband up just to get someone to reassure me.
Thankfully reason won out and I didn't wake him- I don't think he'd have been reasonable - more like he'd have thought the baby was coming! :-)
Thankfully the pain abated somewhat over the following 30 minutes and I got up to get some ice (lovely on your vajayjay at 3am) and some paracetamol and got back to sleep eventually.
My pelvic area is still very sensitive this morning and I'm wrecked. Would love not to have to go to work today but I really should. If I put in a good day today I might take tomorrow off.
Also feeling like I have SO MUCH TO DO! Mad really cause there is still time but I'm getting a bit nesty these last few days.

Whispered

Itchy.as.hell.

mirrorwall14

My legs were mad itchy last night, it's stopped today though thank god. Had a hormonal meltdown after throwing up my dinner again though. I'm so tired of vomiting and nausea and lack of appetite except for carbs and sugar for Petes sake. 16 week appointment next wed, hoping they might be able to do something about it.

Whispered

I could eat nothing but donuts for the first few weeks. I found the special K granola a godsend, just to get something else in. It has eased a lot and since about 20 weeks I'm getting my appetite back, so hopefully you will be feeling better soon.

mirrorwall14

15+3 though and no sign of let up except for my one day without throwing up last weekend. I think its why I'm stressing about everything else (breast feeding, house, baby stuff), I'm worn pretty thin. I'm dying to go back to school so that even if I am still running to the toilet I'll be too busy to notice the nausea (i hope....)

I have been getting an odd darting like jab in my pelvic area. Doesn't last but ouch, uncomfortable at the time. Also, it can get sensitive when walking. All new. And normal hopefully....

Has anyone ever had to take flagyl during pregnancy? I have started it yesterday for a bv and my doctor assured it was safe to take but after googling it, it seems there has been no studies done on pregnant women that Has taken it, only rats which lead to birth defects on their young!

Rather than Google it I'd suggest you go and talk to the pharmacist that dispensed the script for you.
Flagyl is a heavy duty antibiotic but if the pharmacist knew it was for you and that you're pregnant they would have discussed taking it with you and if concerned called the doctor I'd imagine?
I wanted to buy an OTC anti sea sickness tablet in May when I was 23/24 weeks pregnant and the pharmacist discussed it with me, checked the safety of it for pregnant women and when reading up on it saw that it hadn't been tested in humans but lab rats testing showed that it wasn't safe.

There are never any drug safety tests done on pregnant women, it would be highly unethical to have pregnant women in standard drug trials. If you are concerned about any medication, your doctor and pharmacist are the people to talk to.

Lashes28

Yeah I have had a chat with my doctor, the benefits of taking it to clear up the infection outweigh the potiental effects, but was just wondering if anyone on here has had experience of them

Also, I'd be careful about interpreting studies on animals. The dose of the drug means everything. It may have been a toxicity study or something looking for what dose gives defects.

A arrggghhh!
I slept so badly last night AGAIN.
Was wrecked when I were to bed so thought I'd sleep well although the baby was going through a rather active phase over the last 48 hours and seems to be growing as there is a lot of pressure on my stomach wall and ligaments and all that stuff. As a result getting a comfortable position to sleep in took some time.
Pain in my back and my pelvis (SPD is back with a bang) woke me at 3am and it was 7am before I got any sleep.
I am so sore and so tired today I feel like a cranky 3 year old about to have a massive tantrum.
In addition to (or maybe it's part of it?) the SPD I've been having some significant discomfort/ pain in my left groin and today there is a sharp shooting pain in the left side of my pubic bone. It even hurts to touch it.
This could well be the lightening pains I've heard other pregnant women talk about at this stage of their pregnancy (31+4)?
I just want to be able to sleep :-(

34 weeks today, up all last night tossing and turning but babies weight felt different, very very heavy and I am finding it so hard to turn. Woke up after 4 hours sleep and the pain down my back is so sore I can barely walk, I also don't know if this is a symptom of this week but my cervix feels like it's getting bigger, when I go to to sit up the sensation of pressure is there!

comongethappy

Sorry to hear you're in pain pastry. I get the odd twinges down there now and again, it feels very awkward, I think it's the baby pressing down? I know what you mean about turning, especially since my bump dropped.

I also had no stretch marks from pregnancy up till then, I thought I was doing great as I started with the creams from 12w in, but ever since it's fallen it is covered

shortstuff!

Ah Im the same comongethappy, no stretch marks til 37weeks & now my lower tummy is covered too. So annoying after months applying cream & oil:( hopefully they don't appear any higher, only a week or two to go, there couldn't be too much growing left to be done!

I'll be 37 w tomorrow, I'm hoping the same as you that I can't get too much bigger! A lot of the maternity tops are getting on the short side of covering my bump!

Ms2011

Nausea, exhausted & emotional...6 week mark has hit me like a freight train:(

llambert

Girls hope all the applying of lotions and potions works. I did likewise and had stretch marks on my lower tummy too that were reddish.

Delivered twins 11 days ago 3 & a half wks early but I was seriously massive....had nearly 11lb of baby in there.

Now obviously my tummy is still in a right old state but the stretch marks are now white and I think that as things go bk to normal they will be very light, here's wishing anyway. So hope yee are lucky!!!!

73trix
