12-24 weeks pregnant (part 4)

Gelly - So glad you are feeling better sounds like the softness of ligaments. I get it a lot when I turn over in bed (and wake myself up), agonising for 1-2 seconds then OK. I get it under my belly button at each side, sounds similar x

you're just stretching Gelly.. sneezing brings tears to my eyes and sometimes actually takes my breath away, it feels like I'm being ripped to pieces... it is really painful sometimes, others just a sharp twinge.

I bought everything in white and I did know the sex, I figured it is easier to sell stuff on and pass on if it isn't gender specific. I was traumatised by a pack of 3 cream sleepsuits.. they just never looked clean!

None of our respective parents have been told yet.. just the older 6 children.. my mother will ask on Friday.. probably.. and OHs mother is maybe coming over at half term so will find out then because OH doesn't seem to be telling her lol.. we are as bad as each other!

My usual leggings are too snug now but the maternity ones fall down.. why is it not warmer so I can fling my dresses on????


I'm just dreading the wedding we have to go to at 36 weeks.. I might get to experience a whole new hospital while we're there!! Might be interesting..

Bought our pram today. The Silver Cross Pioneer deal at Mothercare. Got it in Sand colour. Fits in DH car perfectly. Exciting.

That's the one we bought but we got it in the Lime green (probably not a practical colour but it's my fave colour!) Did you manage to get the free car seat?

I've got a wedding at 35 weeks pig pen but luckily only down the road, was so looking forward to a good boogie, it'll be a good waddle now! I am also having the "in between" clothes stage. Maternity trousers are like clown pants, my normal trousers are too tight. Roll on getting a proper bump!

Thanks euronorris, I had an anterior last time, not sure about this time, it doesn't say in my notes annoyingly. I think the kicking of the cervix is what I commonly refer to as "f*nny daggers"

my lot arrive any time from 30 weeks.. most were 34-35 weeks.. though the last 3 did better, 37, 35 and 36 weeks respectively.. and the wedding is 100 miles away.. 2 hour car journey.. I guess seeing as the bride has 2 daughter, one a pharmacist the other a dr I should survive most eventualities even if I never dare look them in the eye again haha... I will make the day all about me mwahahahahaaaaaa.... OH said if anything even threatens to happen on the way there we will come home.. there is no way his sister is being left with our girls apparently.. I did point out he has other more capable family members there.. and it would only be one night and my daughter would be there and she's sensible.

I can't even just send him alone because if something happens I need him here.. he holds my hand and tells me to stop being a cowbag ..

We're not going are we?
