Thread: Abi's sleepless diary :D - introducing isobel :D

Hiya Abz, glad to hear you and bubs are OK hun! Hoping the dizzyness and the sickness have subsided and you're feeling a lot better.

What plans do you have for your weekend? Taking it easy I hope xxx

Glad it all turned out okay Abz, at least you can relax a bit knowing everything is fine.

How are you Abz, feeling better?

thanks everyone i did apologise for my hairy legs and the midwife laughed and asked if i'd like to compare with hers. ha.

am still feeling a wee bit dizzy at times but haven't felt like i was going to fall over for a few days now so hopefully if i keep nibbling regularly that will continue. am also eating bananas like they are going out of fashion in case i'm a wee bit anaemic.

all my hospital tests came back just fine, but that makes me wonder why on earth i would be having kidney pains if i don't still have a UTI? any ideas?

oh my word. i crawled under a desk the other day to sort out some cabling. over the course of the afternoon my pelvis got more and more sore. by the time i got home in the evening i couldn't get up the stairs. i had to crawl with OH helping me

much better the next morning, and i'm taking it much easier, but by every evening i'm sore. not to the extent i was then though. have got the pregnancy chair at work which will hopefully help with back and pelvic support a bit. christ. it hurt so much!!

bump is obviously doing quite a bit of growing. she hasn't moved around too much the last couple of days but has given me the odd reassuring thump to let me know she's ok in there

You make sure you're taking it easy hun!
I think they do go quieter when they're having a growth spurt, wimble certainly seems to anyway!

thanks vickie can't believe my thread had a visitor i keep forgetting to update it because nobody is ever here, ha.

i'm so tired. i get to go home in 15 mins. woohoo
and sleeep and sleeep.

little bump just gave me a few resounding kicks in the side before going off to sleep again. no doubt she'll wake up again just as i'm wanting to go to sleep

I went all panicky around the same time as you last week hun, he's a bit quiet again but I'm not going to panic so much, I've used the doppler and he's OK, heartbeat is fine. I'm sure your little lady is fine

xxxxxxx

Hey Abz

You should definitely request a physio referral and see if you can get a support band, you may find it helps you.

When are you starting your maternity leave hun.

i have a physio referral. i just don't know when it will come through...

i finish on the 24th april. am using up a couple of weeks holiday and then my mat leave starts a fortnight before the baby is due.

did a really silly thing yesterday. was pushing along a shopping trolley in the asda carpark. it hit a paving slab and stopped dead. i didn't and flew headlong into it, really whacking my tummy with the handle

bump was, of course, still very quiet. had a bath when i got home though and she got moving. have had a few resounding kicks this morning too. so i'm sure she's fine. still. wish she would get her groove back a bit. it's nice getting the odd thump but wish she would get over this growth spurt and be a bit more reassuring!! ha.

i didn't get a doppler as i thought i would obsessively use it

abz xx

Hope the little one starts kicking hard soon. You will be on the countdown for your maternity leave then, April doesn't seem that far away.

10 weeks to go until i'm freeeeeeeee

i've also been told by my super i should avoid 'office walking' as it obviously causes me discomfort. but soon i think i'm just going to be welded to my chair. so frustrated!! ha.

am at work at the mo. bump was giving me some real thumps last night. quiet again today. think she may be settling into quiet during the day, thumping me during the night routine... which doesn't exactly bode well for sleep once she's born does it? ha.

abz xx

S'pose not, but at least it will get you used to sleepless nights lol.

this is true, but she's been getting me used to those since i found out!! a bit of a break beforehand would be nice, ha.

hello... as promised dropping in to say hello

We need to get our OH's trained for the night feeds, don't know about you gals but i am a living witch without sleep

Must be amazing to feel your own baby moving
