Last weekend wasn't so good. My dh was away camping for the weekend - so I spent the weekend at my parents in Scotland. However, the slight reaction I was having to the Metformin blew up and I ended up in a & e on the Saturday night. I was also really ill on the Sunday. Came home Sunday night.

Hospital yesterday scared the hell out of me. The started asking me all sorts of strange questions - such as had I ever been admitted as a phsciatric patient or referred to a psychatrist... and any history of mental health. Errrr NOOOO !!!! I have no idea what would make them even ask that !

Anyway, they decided they wanted me scanned yesterday (though I'm due another scan next week) and couldn't fit me in - so made me go back first thing this am.

I had the most awful night last night - I was worried sick and my mind was racing that they thought I was a fruit cake and something was wrong with baby.... !?! I can't tell you how scared I was going back there this am.

Anyway - scan measurements show that he's dropped from 75th centile 3 weeks ago to 54th centile today. He's also turned round and is now head down.

They're happy with that for now, but want me scanned again next week... then in two weeks.. then weekly after that. I'm almost 32 weeks and it's flying in tbh - though I am now getting tired more easily and definately stressing more :rollseyes:

I am torturing myself though not to put on too much weight because I have to be bridesmaid then - and that is not what having a baby is about, but if I put on too much weight then Ill hate her wedding and that is not fair to her either. I think ill just try and be sensible but not worry about too much

Oh that was nice of your sister. I had a c-section but was really fine by the end of week 2. You will prob still have a lil bump but some good underwear and a nice empire line dress - you will look amazing!

Bea · 6th September, 2008

Spoke to my doc and he thinks its a lil early for teeth but he has seen babies teeth as early as 8 weeks.....

We had our first birthday party yesterday....a bit hetic and noisy but he settled right in and managed even to sleep in the middle of everything too!

Trying to get Son No 1 ready for Rugby this morning...while trying to get enough b/feeding done to last us a few hours at the same time.

Hope all well!!

spooky · 7th September, 2008

SO tired!!!

I find the tireder I am the more the morning sickness.

Have had a few completely exhausting and stressful days. I am hoping this week I see the back of m/s for a while!!

Bea · 7th September, 2008

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well....nothing worse than morning sickness......and feeling exhausted is just as bad....once I got past week 12 I suddenly had more energy....try to get a nap during the day or evening if you can.....

shrinkingannie · 9th September, 2008

Oh the exhaustion - I feel your pain spooky, I feel as though my legs are made of lead, I am unbelievably tired this week - no nausea or sickness though so I should not complain too much.

Poor sarah - not a great weekend for you but at least you and bubs are ok, and the time is flying that is always good, try and take it easy and not worry too much!!

**sonkie** · 9th September, 2008

Hi guys ....yes im still alive ....just.
Hannah has started waking twice for feeds in the last week so am shattered, had her weighed today and she now weighs 10lb 12oz, so still on track.
Pleased everyone is progressing well, though the morning sickness is not good, though being tired makes it worse so nap as and when possible.

God I did a double take there, I read that as Hannah has started WALKING

Bea · 12th September, 2008

LOL so did I.....ditto Sonkie my guy is back to waking at 2.30 and 4.30 again.....another growth spurt??

Bea · 13th September, 2008

Another long night of constant feeding....we are our 3 month development check on Wednesday - so expecting lots on the scales with all the feeding.

**sonkie** · 13th September, 2008

Well after trying to wean Hannah off the infacol she was going for at least 4 days without moving her bowels and seemed in pain, so have increased the infacol and she seems better and her bowels are back to normal.
She still gets fretful at the breast sometimes when she gets wind and a few days ago was sucking away and pulled off the breast at the same time resulting in me having a sore nipple which has a little scab on it which bleeds slightly when I take my pad off to feed her.
It is painful at first and if she doesnt latch right but does ease once settled on......unless she gets agitated and starts pulling off again, has anyone got any tips to heal sooner rather than later.

Bea · 14th September, 2008

I got badly bitten by my little guy, he took a little chunck off and it poured blood and was sooo sore. I found the pads sort of stuck to it and when I went to feed it caused the scab peeled back which sounds like whats happening to you Sonkie.

I tried to let air at it as much as I could - I found a piece of cotton cloth rather than pads better and expressed a little milk and rubbed it into the nibble after every feed. I also fed him off the other breast first for a few days....it did clear up in less than a week.

**sonkie** · 14th September, 2008

After a painful night for both me and Hannah, me nipple seems fine now I kept putting nipple cream on which seems to have helped......Hannah was screaming in pain last night........she had such bad tummy pain she was pulling her legs right up......thing is it seems worse than the initial colic, and surely she should be getting over it now.....seeing they call it 3 month colic.....lol.

Twice now I have been so close to calling the emergency dr as nothing seems to help, I even gave her calpol.....!
Will have a word with the health visitor on tuesday.

OOOOOO we have next date for 2nd lot of jabs (gulp)......is it still 2 jabs as the first....?

Hope our pregnant ladies are well and taking it easy !!!!
