Ahh T! how many weeks are you now? Hope that pain might be an omen for the future rather than for TONIGHT! What was it like, was it all round your stomach?

that gaviscon makes me wretch,havent been to the shop to get anything else.

Aww, cute! I reckon my cat likes the heat too, he also likes to rest his head on it like it's a pillow. Baby kicks him sometimes so I like to think they're already bonding as brothers!

Paperclipgrad, keep us informed if you do get anything happening, you never know!

Aknitter, the baby goes crazy in response to my husband as well, he definitely knows his voice! I think the baby is going to be a daddy's boy!

It was all in one place, sort of to the left of the bellybutton, like a sort of searing, stabby pain that went on for about a minute. No contraction with it though. It was really weird!

I was 32+3/4 on wednesday...so baby due in 7-8 weeks-ish. I want it to stay in there at least a few more weeks though!

Everything else seems fine though. I've a dr appointment this morning, I'll bring it up with him, but I don't think it really is a harbinger of anything. Though, of course, you never know....

Baby tends to stop moving as soon as my husband puts his hand on my stomach, it's kind of odd. How does it know?? It moves around when he talks though.

Now that you say it, I actually get a really sore pain near my belly button from time to time.. Its been going on for weeks. I always think it's to do with the way the baby is lying and maybe pressing on something? I find it very uncomfortable (in normal times) to have my bellybutton poked, it actually brings a similar pain so I'm wondering is there something underneath there that is sensitive or something.

Hope you will be all right, the doc should be able to reassure you hopefully

Meant to say before, there are sometimes some useful articles/info shared on the AIMS Ireland facebook page (Association for Improvements in Maternity Services)

Get into the odd argument too on it, but it's useful source for information, including the recently updated HSE Obstetrics & Gynae guidelines

What did the doc say about pain? I get that too sometimes. I figured it was Brixton hicks related

aknitter

I get something similar off to the right. its like a bad stitch. I made a pot of rice pudding today for the indigestion - better than gaviscaon or acidex or rennie!

paperclipgrad

Just out of the hospital there, had a bit of an ordeal this afernoon! Doc measured my heart rate at 126 and ketones at the highest band, sent me into hosp asap where I was put on monitors for an hour, then had an heart trace. They thought it may be something related to my thyroid...took bloods and I've to go back next week for results...

aknitter

Oh god what an ordeal, did they say what it was?

sunshiner

oh dear papergrad well at least the doctors are on the case. still so scary to be sent to the hospital.
The thyroid creates so much problems but good thing is they can easily fix it with medication. I hope your feeling ok?

MurdyWurdy

Oh no, sounds scary! I had my thyroid tested at about 20 weeks as I was so tired and wasn't putting on weight but I've heard nothing so presuming it's fine! Hope everything comes back clear for you.

I had ketones in my urine too when I was not eating due to being really ill and the hospital weren't happy about it at all, how has your eating been recently? Did they say it could be anything besides thyroid problems?

krankykitty

Oh I hope you are OK Paperclip, what an ordeal Have you to rest up for the weekend before going back?

paperclipgrad

They said it could be due to dehydration (though I was suspicious about that- I'd had like 2 pints of water this morning)...and dr said to have more sugar (even though I'd been having ice cream snickers and other chocolate/ice cream type stuff) occasionally over the past while. I'm definitely not on any Atkins type thing!

Just in case....went to Milano's afterwards (after not gettin anything to eat all afternoon until 8pm, hospital was busy). Now in danger of diabetes instead.

MurdyWurdy

That is weird about the ketones, mine were bad when I was dehydrated and on a drip which made sense but if you're eating/drinking and keeping it down it seems strange. I guess all you can do is keep your fluids up as much as possible and see what they say. I guess if we're putting on 4lbs in extra blood volume we need all the fluids we can get!

Blueskye

Hope all is ok paperclipgrad.

Drama here too today. Had doc appt, usual trace and then scan. Heart rate was dipping on one baby and scan showed cord was squashed by baby's head. Plus placenta looking ''mature" acc to doc. Lots of calcification. Can't imagine my poor old placenta would be worth encapsulating anyway

Admitted for more monitoring, was on a trace for 2+ hours!!! All ok with babies but BP high. Could just be all the drama? Bloods done, staying in hospital tonight. If BP still high tomo, babies coming out otherwise section moved ahead to Tues. So a week earlier than planned but I'm so ready!!! Anaesthetist came in to discuss spinal etc, jaysus, scared the living day lights out of me. I am really squeamish! Anyway, best not to think about it.

paperclipgrad

Yeah, I thought it was odd too, they didn't seem convinced that it was entirely due to dehydration (hence the bloods being taken). I've put on about 8.4kg so far, almost 5lbs of which is now baby! (and my thighs). Dr said he thought that was fine, even though it's on the lowish range. I didn't go in lacking for fat supplies though....

paperclipgrad

Blueskye-- you're not in Limerick, are you? The woman next to me was expecting twins and was on all the monitoring for about 2 hours as well! Birth twin?

MurdyWurdy

Wow, another scary afternoon Blueskye. Can't believe you could have your babies so soon. I bet you can't wait to meet them! Hope everything goes well and you're comfy enough in hospital

aknitter

Blueskye - hope all goes well with the twins, you went really far so Good Luck! We'll need pics when you can!

paperclipgrad

Babies tomorrow!!! Exciting! Let us know how things go...fingers and toes crossed for all 3 of ye!

That is so funny, you were next to each other and didn't know it! Small world

paperclipgrad

You must have seen me then!! I walked past you a couple of times, I was wearing a purple cardigan....small world!! Such a weird coincidence, isn't it? When I finally left, you were gone. What are the chances! I think I mentioned to my husband that the woman beside us looked ready to go! Little did I know!

MurdyWurdy

I can't believe we could have our first thread babies here so soon. I am really excited here. Is that a bit sad?!

paperclipgrad

Not at all- I'm excited too! Who's gonna be next.....whooo??

MurdyWurdy

We're going away for the weekend and hubby is paranoid I'll go into labour while we're away (we're only going a 3 hour drive from home!) even though I'm only just under 33 weeks. I told him Blueskye might be having babies tomorrow and he had a look of sheer terror on his face until I explained the situation.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be next

aknitter

Ya had to badger my hubby in to going out to a friends birthday drinks tonight, he didn't want to go as its 'so close', I said not to worry as if it came to it, I could drive myself to the hospital (can see it from our front door!) and also it'll be more difficult after the baby to get out! He went in the end.

MurdyWurdy

Glad he went out in the end! It's sweet that they're so concerned but it's silly at the same time!

Maybe I did? Do u have long hair? But to be honest I was not having the best day. I was an emotional wreck after zero sleep last night. Wasn't too observant.

That's so sweet. My OH didn't think I'd go early at all until doc mentioned it being a possibility a few weeks ago.
