Babies April 2015

Oh my goodness starryeyed!! Hope you are okay? That is quite scary.... how can they not know whats going on?

Ladies i went for check up friday. Baby is doing well and growing nicely. Head down and placenta out the way mostly. Seeing midwife again 12 feb. So excited!

Went for a check up on Tues. My boy is 1.1 kg at 27 weeks....is that big? or normal?

Shame starreyed!!! That sounds scary
I hope that things settle a bit a go better for the last stretch.

@Nelsn: They told us in hypnobirthing last night that the ball and squatting is very good for your back as well. I will start trying that. Just get so tired during the day, that by the time I get home from work, laying on the couch is the only place I want to be. I am also getting a few cramps..just figure it's ligaments. Also I get this burning sensation just below my ribs sometimes...I think my baby is stretching legs and squashing my lung or pinching my lung on my rib or something! I push his foot out the way and then it disappears. But he seems to like that position a lot.

Over all my pregnancy has been great..but now (27 weeks), I am starting to feel very tired and stiff and battle to sleep..and it's so hot! baby stretches out a lot which is pretty uncomfy. I am starting to feel like my house is disgustingly dirty and have no energy to clean it or even idea where to start cleaning it..Like I want to scrub the walls and every little corner I can find.

Going for some mommy pamper time and getting my hair done on Sat. can't wait Also decided to get a wax down there.. since I can't see what I am doing anymore..

Sorry this phone cut my reply
faffymum@ i read that squatting and being on the birth ball helps. And other ways too just forgot them for now.
I keep having some uncomfortable pains down there, not sure if its braxton hicks or his head moving in my pelvis.
My sweet tooth is not getting less, i can go through a box of grapes or any fruit really , chocolate is worse as I finish it in no time. But i dont have the same desire with food.

Hello ladies
Starreyed@ oh no, that's not good. I'm glad they are keeping you in hospital and giving you the best care. I will be praying for you. I can understand hubbys worry, he just wants a smooth pregnancy and a healthy baby and wife. Hope the find the reason behind the cause and combat it asap.
Gloie@ I would love to do hypnobirthing but it seems with these other costs adding up it won't be possible. I read a few breathing tips on the Gems maternity book and have been trying to practice them.
faffymum@ I read (on the gems book again

@gloei...yes those videos are ridiculous. It almost looks more unnatural to see the ladies so out of it. I am preparing myself for the fact that it is going to be the most intense and scary experience of my life..but also that I can do it and that it will be over in no time and then it will be the most amazing and beautiful experience of my life. All in the power of the mind I guess. I am really enjoying the meditation relaxation CD's and the book if fascinating. Learning to distract your mind during labour is also nice to learn how to do.

Anybody heard of ways to "help" your baby get into the best position for birth in your last trimester?

Thanks gloei. I am crossing my legs and hoping for the best.
Will keep you all posted xxx
