12-24 weeks pregnant (part 3)

Comfiest things ever, I have no idea how I'll go back! I've bought several pairs of ebay & bought a M&P cape/coat, brand new with the tag still on for £99 & I got it for £12.50! I probably don't really need to be a wearing them now bump wise but I just cant hold my podgey tummy in & I've gone past caring so I am embracing it!

Preggo trousers are the best thing ever. I wish I could keep.wearing them forever!

anyone else had leg cramps at night? they were awful!

We went to a wedding yesterday. It was lovely but the service was quite long (we had to stand while they did their vows?! and there were lots of hymns/songs! I did end up sitting down for some of them after OH recognised I was beginning to cling to him somewhat!!!)
and then the reception, I did manage to find a sofa to sit on for the initial reception bit but I think I just ended up being really tired. Wondering if that contributed to the cramp.

can't say it's fact but I believe being over tired makes my leg cramps worse.

I went to a wedding last weekend and by the end of the day i really struggled with exhaustion. I didnt do any dancing, which is unusual for me, and had a huge headache by the end of the evening. I wanted to drive but my friend was really pushy about her OH driving and they didnt know i was pregnant at the time so we couldnt leave until they wanted to - which was right at then end of the evening. Me and OH have made a pack that for the rest of the pregnany i will drive everwhere and we arent giving lifts to anyone. I want the freedom of being able to go home when i feel like it.

yeah we didn't stay until the end. It was a 1pm ceremony and reception afterwards. So an early lunch and then there was cake after the ceremony but then nothing until the evening. We stayed for a few songs after the evening meal and then left. There were quite a few with young children who also left around the same time so at least we weren't the first to go!!

Tiredness has definitely hit! I'm ready for bed by 8, but I've not caved yet - 9.30pm at the very earliest! We were out for dinner Friday night and I could barely keep my eyes open. I'm so ready for maternity leave, only 20+ weeks to go!! :o


OH and I went to the Baby Show at Bluewater today after getting free tickets. I can't say I was impressed! Too closely packed together, and lots of stalls that were typical Dragons Den products, the sort of useless or wacky ideas that they were trying to convince you are absolutely essential and you can't live without. Hmm, I'm pretty sure that mothers of days gone by have managed to bring up their babies successfully without needing self-warming bottles or teething bibs. We actually got more use out of the Mothercare just opposite and then the Lakeside retail park where we looked in Babies R Us and Mamas & Papas. Oh well, it got us out for the day and made a change so its not all bad Hope you've all had a lovely weekend.

Hugs to all that are feeling pants (not maternity ones, )

I find that tiredness makes leg cramps, or jumpy legs worse too-makes it impossible to get comfy when you can actually go to sleep.

I have a new hobby-headaches!! Can't say as I recommend it. Hope everyone is ok

I think iron deficiency can also cause restless legs. Have you had your bloods done yet? Worth getting them to check your ferritin even if your full blood count appears normal AS levels can drop before they present in your fbc. I am a haematologist so I know a bit about blood

We're at a gorgeous Hotel in Abergaveny for our 1st wedding anniversary! We were here in April for hubby's birthday when we'd just started Clomid treatment & properly TTC! Wouldn't let myself believe we'd be back 6 months later with me 14 weeks pregnant! I've booked another scan for next Saturday at the clinic we had our treatment, I think their scanners were much better than the hospital ones & the consultant there will be doing IT for us, so an expert! Hopefully we'll get some better pics this time! Off to get ready for dinner now, just hope I can fit it all in! Food is exceptional here but don't want it to be wasted on me!
