Morning ladies

@Kimmy - good luck for your appointment

@lilly - that is creepy! Sjoe!

Regarding movements, mine didn't change. But then again, El stayed in the same position for the whole of the last trimester (at least).

Not much sleep last night. El was an omnomnom-o-saurus - she's feeding like mad. Her paed is happier with her hips, but will still discuss it with the ortho. Only thing is that she's lost a bit too much weight. But I'm taking the bull by the horns and have increased my brewers yeast and am making sure I'm eating and drinking enough and healthily. Paed said to shout if I need meds to boost production. He did her other two week check stuff now and will just weigh her next week.

@hdvb - argh, forgot about the reflux issue!

I promise you - my belly felt the same over the weekend. That's why I took that photo comparison with the beachball... Felt like my skin was going to burst any moment! Now the streched skin/tearing feeling is gone and I have this terrible constant feeling of "fullness".

Oh yes, wanted to ask - who's the baby in your profile photo?

Louise what ever it is I hope it goes away soon I'm really feeling stretched in that are. And I'm worried my belly just can't go any further.

Oh yes, Lauz, my belly was the same!!! Before she turned my belly was really flattening out and it was sooooo freaking sensitive and "itchy"... Now that she turned my belly button popped back in and all the sensitivity is gone... Maybe your heading the same route with your LB, that he's trying to turn anterior?

Lauz, with Larissa moving anterior the movements are most certainly "less"... but I still get my 10 kicks + if I sit or lay down to relax.

It is however so damn uncomfortable the position she is in now... prior to this I only read about the pressure & limited space on your lungs, but gheez! This is hectic!!! Last night I went into a yawning frenzy and it hurt like hell... I couldn't "fill" my lungs with each yawn I took. Sleeping was also a mission cause no matter how I lie or how much I prop myself with the preggy pillow, pillows, scatter cushions - nothing helps! Just as I get comfortable, either the arm, leg or hip I'm lying on goes numb...

I'm so over it now!

My pelvic/groin pain also returned - hoping it's the relaxin and that this baby will drop soon... must sound sooooooo terrible, but it's really not lekker anymore!

AFM, I had a terrible night the night before I was dreaming of having contractions woke up needing to pee and realized I was having those contractions I spoke of the other day. I had it for over 30min from 1.30-2am and was ready to tell my hubby to get ready. To realize that it might have just been gas. As soon as I passed gas I felt so much better! It's such a strange thing and I didn't experience it again afterwards!

I have also noticed that my belly button is so sensitive and now has a blue mark like a bruise just above it. I'm hoping the sensitivity doesn't get worse because I can already feel certain tops bother me in that area. I'm seriously counting down the days to my next app. I really want to know how my little man is and what his weight is, I've also just had enough of hearing how BIG he is going to be.

Hope you all have a lovely day

Good morning Mommies!

Kimmy good luck for today. Will be thinking of you.

Juanita when you going in?

Louise, it was me that mentioned the movements. My app keeps saying how the movements seem to change closer to the time. I felt a slight difference yesterday in his movements well so I thought lol.

PP, so glad you slowly recovering and things are getting better day by day!

Zandri, Stephen is just too handsome! Hope he is out soon and glad you feeling much better emotionally!

HVDB, so glad you too had a full nights rest already. One of the things I read regarding reflux is to prop the bed up slightly so that baby is lying flat. You get bed wedges but since Cara seems to be doing better you probably won't need that!

Clueless how are you doing? Sorry to hear about your placenta but good thing it was picked up early enough to decide on what to do going forward!

Lilly, gosh that would scare me too regarding your helper. Just take it easy though and don't put too much pressure on yourself to look after the house you'll have more than enough time to get round to doing things!
