12-24 weeks pregnant (part 4)

pinkshoes

I am still lurking!

The bump is getting huge and my skin feels like it is being pulled so tight. it is a little uncomfortable at times!

I am back into hospital in a couple of days to have my cervix length remeasured and check that it has not got any shorter, as otherwise I may be at risk of premature labour. My fingers are crossed that it is just naturally short!

Maternity leave in 7.5 weeks. Yay! I will be nearly 32 weeks and probably looking like a double decker bus!

Hey girls

Sorry been a bit quiet, not a lot to report, it seems my sickness/ nausea is finally going away, same as you bean on the slight nausea some evenings but nothing I can't put up with.

I think we all had the same idea with the moving house part, lol, as i too am in the middle of a house move. we are at the impatiently waiting for stuff to happen stage, I'm hoping that it gets sorted for a move next month to be settled for christmas.

Scan isn't for a few more weeks yet but i have found i'm getting a little uncomfortable, i'm being stretched and it's not the nicest feeling. Though still don't feel pregnant even though i've heard the heartbeat! No glowing here and heartburn is a bi*ch :rotfl:

With not being due until March I am hoping to pick up some bargains in the boxing day/ january sales, clothes, furniture, bits and bobs, I want it all cheap!!:p

Afternoon all
We've found a house to move to, looks like we'll be moving in a month! :eek: Suddenly feeling a bit overwhelmed, but better to be settled before Christmas I think
I had to go to a workshop thing this morning where we were stood up for an hour, and my back was killing by the end, it's definitely bothering me a lot more recently. More Pilates required I think, but it's so tiring trying to fit it in once DD is in bed (I tried once when she was awake and just got bundled! :rotfl:)

great news Little Moog - weve just moved and as hard as it was i do believe much better doing now than later or with a newborn

i was in for app today to get bloods checked and got to here the heartbeat - was amazing!!! so fast and loud feels a bit more real for me today (im currently 18 +3)

I love hearing the heartbeat *niptuckfan*, it makes me tempted to buy a doppler, except I think it would stress me out if I couldn't find it!

Already feeling mega-stressed about the move, especially as we're off on holiday next weekend so only have 2 weeks after we get back to sort everything! eek!

Is anyone else getting a lot of headaches? I keep waking up with them, and can't shake them all day. I can't decide if it's pregnancy related, or because my pillows need replacing, as I've got a sore neck as well and it feels a bit like it's radiating around my head (and throbbing in my right eyeball, joy!). Oh for some ibuprofen!

*niptuckfan*

littlemoog definately dont! i have a midwife pal who says its actually a hard thing to find and she had lots of calls from worried mums so think its best just to listen with the professionals

sorry to hear about the headaches thats something i have never really had bother with pre pregnancy or now acutally - i do believe in good pillows and mattress though thats somthing we didnt skimp on...but of course did in MSE style and paid interest free

are you allowed ibruprofen when pregnant? somthign makes me think not but i may be wrong

no, ibuprofen is a no-no in pregnancy. shame as paracetamol just isn't cutting it for these headaches. still nagging away, will probably last all day think I'll swap my pillows for some from the spare room tonight and see if that helps

aw hope it passes soon, my back is killing me so straight out of office to a hot bath for me

Nip tuck I've just started getting headaches, I was wondering the same about whether it was pregnancy related or not. I took on extra hours to help out as they are short staffed but think a 12hr then 10hr day was just too much. Looking forward to recovering over the weekend.
