lol! Yeah...midwife said it happens like pretty much ALL the time...as soon as ladies go on the monitor baby starts going mental haha. Then the midwives always hear...."he/shes been really quiet all day....I SWEAR!!"

Im glad you and little one are all good.....I battled with myself for ages before deciding to have everything checked the other day. But it was deffo better to make sure rather than leaving it....I'd never forgive myself if I left it and something happened

Yeah that's what the MW at the hospital said to me lol x yeah same...I'm glad I went rather than leaving it, even though she's been wriggly ever since! I don't want to get in the habit of just "leaving it" just in case it's not good news one day xx

34+1 - Less than 6 weeks until D Day :D

Hi girls.....sorry Ive been AWOL. I dunno whats wrong with me at the moment. I do come on to try and keep up with your diaries but mostly havnt been putting anything myself etc. Kinda hard to explain...I just feel like Im not very good at knowing what to say as much as the rest of you and what advice to give etc. As/when I do go to post on threads I spend absolutely AGES thinking of what to say and end up with like...a few sentences and then think I dont know why I bothered in the first place and that what Ive put is cr@p etc. URGHHH...I really dont know how to explain it....its weird. I dunno if its just a phase Im going through...although Ive never been great at knowing what to say. This probably makes no sense whatsoever.

I havnt really been up to too much really...just the usual relaxing at home mostly. A few weeks ago when I went to the hospital because of lack of movements they said there was like a trace of something showing I may have a urine infection and they asked if I had any symptoms and at the time I didnt really so they said to keep an eye on it. Well anyways - the last couple of weeks Ive constantly been peeing and sometimes it would feel like I needed to go but I would just sit there and nothing would happen or there would be a couple of drops and then nothing..but i would still feel like I needed to go. I started to feel uncomfortable too. So I went to hospital on Sunday to check if it was a urine infection as my GP dont have an out of hours service apparently! Was there for 2 hours and they test my urine and its clear as anything. They told me to drink lots more water....and I guess all the peeing is just a normal pregnancy thing. Urgh!

Had midwife yesterday and she re-confirmed urine test is clear. To be honest Ive felt better since drinking more water after Sunday. Too weird. Wouldnt have thought that drinking more water would actually help! Baby is head down but not engaged. I kinda thought he's head down as been getting more pressure 'down there' and weird movements lol Also been getting a lot more period-type cramps which the midwife at the hospital said is normal. No Braxton Hicks whatsoever though...which apparently is also normal.

In other news....(TMI ALERT!!!).............apparently I have haemorroids/piles *sigh*. It just gets better doesnt it?!! Need to eat more fibre so that its not 'difficult' to go toilet, therefore making them worse. GP has given me laxatives to take too and a cream to apply which is an anaesthetic/steroid cream. Dont wanna take either at the moment whilst still pregnant so am gunna try and avoid it until after I give birth and just increase my fibre/water intake

I realised the other night just how much us pregnant ladies have to deal with whilst pregnant and i thought I would list EVERYTHING I can think of that I have had since my BFP (I know...I clearly have too much time on my hands lol). But its pretty unreal lol.....

Period-type cramps, lots of pregnancy related shooting pains etc etc, bloat, headaches, dizziness/feint-ness, sickness (vomiting), nausea, food cravings/aversions, nails/hair growing quicker??!!, indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, haemorroids/piles, diarrhea, swollen hands/ankles, unreal amounts of discharge meaning I have had to wear a pantyliner EVERYDAY of my pregnancy (had been looking forward to not wearing any pads!), minor bleeding from nose, stuffy nose, bad back, slightly leaky darker burger nips (lol), bigger tender boobs, stretch marks, difficulty moving around in general, lack of sleep, tiredness/fatigue, weird dreams/nightmares, dry skin/spots etc (face), more anxious, more hormonal, mood swings, irritable, needing to pee more, breathlessness, skin tags!!, leg cramps, weight gain, more sensitive sense of smell, flatulence, weak bladder, itchy belly

Theres probably more but thats all I can think of! lol!!!! Unbelievable isnt it!

Ah Hun, as long as you're here and ok that's all we're bothered about. I get what you mean, sometimes I write things then think that sounds rubbish and delete it. I'm good at the tellings off but not so good at sympathy, which I hate about myself but think a lot of it comes from doing my job.
Ouch to the piles!!! Luckily I've not suffered with toilet issues so I've not experienced them but maybe after labour.....eek!!!
I never really thought I had many pregnancy ailments. If it wasn't for the fainting and nausea/food aversions I would have said I'd not had it too bad. But when I read your list I've had more than I thought!!
Glad you're doing ok though and the water problems are just general pregnancy and not an infection!!xx

Awww thanks :) I really dont know what it is at the moment. Just cant seem to think straight to know what to write and stuff. I dunno...its really strange. Ive always been a bit naff at knowing what to say but its just got ridiculous to the point of not saying anything recently lol Stupid isnt it haha

Yeah...piles is something I have never experienced before and Im kind of now wondering if its my own fault getting them because it only seems to have happened since me n hubby on our anniversary had some...shall we say 'intimate time'?? :D The first time the whole pregnancy lol

Its mental how many pregnancy 'ailments' you can have...I think I only realised myself once I did the list :p And I havnt suffered from the same things others have like the carpal tunnel etc etc
 
There are so many little things! I've had lots of things in small doses it seems which makes me pretty lucky, the only things which have been a massive problem are the nausea and food aversions early on, the anxiety and depression and the carpal tunnel and SPD in later months. Ooh and the getting out of breath, the heartburn, the reflux... there's quite a lot lol! I've had one good thing though - pregnancy has cured my psoriasis! I'm not sure whether it will return afterwards but I hope not...

Glad you're ok - it's hard to keep track sometimes of everything that's cracking off. Just keep checking in so we know you're doing ok :) x

There are quite a lot no?! Quite often I remember the main things like sickness, heartburn etc but forget about all the random things so making the list was quite interesting :p

Oooh, its good your psoriasis has gone...lets hope it stays that way eh!
 
Aw hunnie.. Big hugs.. Sometimes it is hard to know what to say and sometimes in yer head it all comes at once but when you get typing it just sounds like babble..
Sometimes I kinda log out n write nothing. Which is kinda selfish I guess but sometimes I think what am gona write doesn't read as it should.. And can sound quite awful.. So best not to upset (there goes the rambling.....) What am tryna say is.. We don't know what to say all the time.. But please don't leave us.. Even if you just update on here about you n bubs n ye are feeling.. Am sure everyone will agree.. We don't lose you :) xx

PS.. I get that loo thing.. Where you are BUSTING.. but get to the loo n sit looking around, still needing to go but nothing coming out... Was reading with interest to see if it was "something" as its quite annoying and happening more n more this last week or so...
 
Hiya JoeyJoJo, I know exactly what you are trying to say. I find that my concentration is that crap that I can't remember what it was that I'm trying to say and then what it is that I've actually read on the thread in the first place!!!! I can't explain it either :eek:

I love reading your (and others) updates though, feel like I'm not the odd one out and others find pregnancy difficult too. All my friends seemed to sail through it. One friend didn't even feel her contractions. She only had one pain and that was when the head crowned.....anyway were was I?????? Oh yeah concentration gone to shot and rambling tendencies! Ha
 
Hello!! :)

Glad to have u back - but wish the piles weren't with u too! I had them! :-/ I read and the Internet to relax and push them back I. (I think I just had the one mega pile tbh) which I did a couple of times and by the time I was 40 weeks it's had really eased!! I too didn't use anything on it!!

Unfortunately, when pushing Stevie out it came back with a vengeance and brought a friend or too with him!! (I say him cos only men are a pain in the @rse!! Lol) however now I can hardly feel anything and I have been really struggling with the toilet - since birth and right up until today!! :-/ the things we do for our babies eh?! Xxx

Awww thanks :)

Re the loo thing....its just really weird...I was convincedI had a UTI. But nope...nothing. And the advice to drink more water didnt make sense to me but it seems to have helped! So strange isnt it !! I do think it is all partially the pressure of baby too
