The whooping cough pain lasted about a day and a half for me. I think it could vary though for each person.


I haven't got carpel tunnel, so I don't know what to suggest. Sorry. I hope it eases for you soon though! xx

skint.. it is fairly common.. its fluid on the nerves apparently.. it is often worse at night.. if it gets unbearable wrist splints are meant to help

Thanks girls, I read that it was quite common so I haven't worried myself silly over it, I will look into the wrist splints though. Who knew pregnancy could be so attractive.. still waiting for the 'glow' it's long overdue.

Eugh. Rant alert.

Ordered furniture from Mamas and Papas about a month ago. Told by their staff in store because we are remote delivery company only work Tuesday and Friday up here. Fair enough so I arranged for delivery today. Got a text on Wednesday saying items were with delivery company and they would text me this morning with 4 hour delivery slot. Get a text today at 10:00am to say that items will now be delivered on Monday. Turns out they only work up here on a Monday and Thursday! Why wait until day of delivery to tell me this! We've spent close to £700 in store! DH has sent them a stinking email asking for some form of compo as I've had to take the day off work (they don't need to know I was off already due to painter being in)!

/rant.

P.s it's snowing up here today!

skint - "glow" pah ha! I'll be waiting for a while for that I think The whooping cough arm pain is bad! Pain lasted 3 days for me but the lump over a week, the associated "feeling of unwellness" was the worse thing for me though. Hope it gets well soon.

Euro -glad everything was OK

Toots - snow wow! - where are you?! There is an article here on MSE about recouping compensation if the company have messed you around. Have a look for it. Poor that from the company, annoys the life out of me!

I am a swinging crib and a toddler car sear away from having purchased everything I think I might need. Anything I've forgotten can be bought in due course! We got the baby clothes out of the loft this week and washed them, so cute! Forgot how tiny they were!

I thought the baby had been quieter the last 3 days but I think I've just not been taking enough notice, its been quite wriggly today already. I have just downloaded Kicks Count app which is the best kick counter I've seen, not like the american ones which only let you record 10 movements. Going to try hard to keep recording today so that I have a better handle on movements.

Toots - I'd be annoyed too!

I'm finding longer walks a bit too much this week, to get from my office to the car park is just over half a mile walk. I tend to go out every lunch time to get a break from the place (I work in a prison) and to be able to use my phone (not allowed it on site). But the last few days it's taken me forever to get back! . Plus there are lots of heavy doors to open and shut on the way. And here people wait at a door if they see you behind them save locking it twice, so I either have to speed up or shout to them to shut it :rotfl:. Lots of people have commented that my bump looks bigger today so the aches over last two days must have been growing pains!

I've booked a pregnancy massage for tomorrow . I've had a bit of a stressful 10days due to OH's evil ex partner and, although the situation is resolved now, I need to destress a bit.

I've found walking more challenging too, depends if my SI joint is "in" right or not. Today it feels fine, no pain at all. If it isn't sitting in right it is really painful and walking is slowwww. Keep waking in the night with sore hips which is OK for half the night as I turn over on to the other one but then by 4am, both are hurting so I lie on my back until I can't breathe

Walking is definitely getting more difficult. I walk to and from work. It's 1.2 miles each way, and there's a railway bridge to cross in there too (the worst part! lol).


Took me just under 20 minutes when we moved into this office about 2 months ago. Now it's taking me 25-30 minutes.


It's not just the tiredness. I'm lucky I don't have any real pain, but my God the pressure on my bladder during such walks!!! SOOO uncomfortable!

pigpen

The school run which used to take 10 minutes now takes about 40.. I am severely broken!

Glad it's not just me suffering , I don't get pain as such, it's just such an effort and I get out of breath quickly, and then am faced with a big staircase at the end.

I used to be ok to go to loo just before I left, walk to car park then drive 30 mins home. Now I go before I leave, and then in the toilets next to the car park and then by time I get home I'm busting again! Pregnancy joys eh?!
