Feb-May 2011 Mommies

OK so I'm childless tonight, expect for the one tucked away in my tummy . Megan is with MIL and Kayla went to a friend of mine who's son is also in Grade 1 - same school. The boy spent the afternoon at my house and when his mom came to fetch him tonight, Kayla & Brendan were nagging for K to go there, so off they went. My friend and I were pregnant together with the two of them, but then lost contact for years and this year the two of them landed up in the same school.

Tazzy - re the FB status. These last couple of weeks I had 'friends' on FB announcing their sore period pains, some announcing they've got diaree (sp) the quickie they had with a colleague in the office toilet, the drink they had whilst driving, the one girl asking her aunt whether her husband is still f***** hmmm I can't even put the other word here........., and someone asking whether it's normal to be horny if they had it all last night..........
And really I don't see myself as very conservative.......

Lucy now that you mention the bath - I must remember to go get one of those thingies you put in the bath. I just love them. I don't like filling a baby bath etc., so I just use the big bath with one of those metal thingies covered with material. I hate those baths you get that you must flip open to use.

Wow it was quiet!!

Tazzy - You are carrying so nicely Good luck with those scans and fx that baba will spread them!

Kimika - You made life a lot easier today. THANK YOU But I have to be honest I found it very stressful. I mean how do I know what kind of bath I want to use? Among toooooo many other decisions for a porridge brain, dithery preggy lady!! I left with a killer headache

Schatsie - That sounds horrible. I sometimes feel a lot of pressure / discomfort at worst down there, but no pain as yet. Hope the wheaty bag works ...... it's helping my back.

Joli - Glad work is quiet. My last work day is 15 dec. Enjoy the new place of the kicks. I can't get used to it. Still find it so amazing

Meags - Glad you are safe and sound!

meags - Glad youve arrived safely - I hope you get some rest now!

Joli - whose posting weird preg fb status's??

Schatsie - I have also had terrible pubic bone pain. Some days are worse than others though. Try taking a Tylenol or even putting a warm wheaty bag on your pubic bone. It helps for me.
Just be careful you arent confusing the pain with a UTI. Maybe also take some Citro soda and see if the pain eases.

Joli - Thats my biggest concern at the moment... i dont want the dr to guess wrong. But I'll get a second opinion at my 4d next friday too ( if the sonagrapher is willing)

hi ladies

just saying hi and we're here safely. even if i wanted to sleep on the flight - the seat was so uncomfortable and my coccyx feels re-broken so i was up atleast every hour if not more!!

will catch up better tomorrow xx

Yip it's very quiet here. I think everyone is preparing to go on leave he he. Well I don't have much news. Got a bit of flu, sore throat and snotty nose. Megan has gone to visit my MIL and when I phone her she tells me that she's at granny's house and can't come home! It's quiet at work. I'm going on leave end of next week - Yayness! Can't wait. I think Baby B has turned as he / she is now kicking alot on top.

Shame Schatsie. I only get pains down there when I sneeze etc., especially when I sit for too long.

Tazzy - you tummy is too cute man . Shame Tazzy it's quite annoying if you want to see the sex and can't. Happened to me when I had Kayla. Could only see at 29 weeks and then they were wrong!

I haven't packed anything as yet. I must still sort out Baby B's clothing etc. as well to see what I need. Will try and do this over December so it's all ready. I'm in no rush. I don't think my baby will come early anyways.

Phew Tazzy, it is indeed very quiet here today! I went for a nap in my car (and nearly melted in the heat!), expecting to come back and have lots to read, but there's nothing going on here!

I have been having SUCH severe pelvic pain for the last month. I went to my gynae cause I thought it might be a problem with my cervix, but he said it's not. Last night it was so sore that I had difficulties getting out of bed to even go to the kitchen or bathroom. So I read up on the internet on it and found info on what they call Symphysis Pelvic Dysfunction (SPD).

"Although it appears to be a firmly fixed circle of bone, the pelvis is actually four separate bones jointed together - the sacrum and coccyx at the back and at the sides the two hip bones which curve around to meet at the front. These are joined at the front by the symphysis pubis."

"In pregnancy the hormone relaxin is released to soften the joints in preparation for the birth of your baby, but in around one in 35 women the hormone causes the ligaments to soften and stretch too much and become painful."

"The main symptoms are pain in your pubic area, groin, the inside of your thighs and sometimes in your lower back and hips. The pain is worse when you walk or move and climbing stairs is especially painful. Getting in and out of the car or turning in bed is also painful."

Well at least I know what it is now.

Anyone else have this charming pregnancy side effect?
