September 2021 due date babies!!!

@Suggerhoney bump size isn’t an accurate thing. I have big babies and usually measure perfectly - it’s like anything just an estimate but not accurate so I wouldn’t worry too much.

You really do have lots of appointment my next one is next Tuesday, hoping we might get my home birth approval appointment booked in as midwife likes to do that Around 34/35 weeks!

That’s exciting madam rose!
Suggar I like having appts upcoming defo keeps things moving forward
I’ve a midwife in 6th but no scan or consultant I called today and was told they hadn’t got round to doing my appt yet I suspect it’ll be 12/07 though

@Suggerhoney that sounds terrifying all the what ifs! Have you gone through it all with your consultant, your fears etc x

Wow this thread has moved fast! I'll get caught up shortly. Toddler been so up and down this past few days, but fever finally broke and he's been his normal self (eating everything in sight, loud and very, very lively) all day. However he has come out completely covered in a faint pink rash. Dr Google says its roseola, which makes sense - rash means he's on the mend as it comes when the fever goes.

But I can't get a straight answer from Google on whether there's any risk to me - and therefore baby. Apparently it's v contagious and though most people have already had it there's no real way to know. And in theory it could pass to baby via me. I'll see what midwife reckons on weds when I go but meanwhile just cracking on - I don't have a temp or rash so probably no concern.

No bloody idea how he's got it though, we are literally shielding and he's not met another kid in months. Weird.

@LoneWanderer if never heard of it before? Maybe ring the go practice to find out? Glad little one is on the mend but sorry he now has the rash x

Thanks hon. That has reassured me. Pluss with my huge liver transplant scar and the liashions that she mentioned and did say its difficult to get it right with me.
Will see how the next growth scan goes I think there more reliable than fundal height.
So glad it's gonna be cooler over the next week.

I will bring it up to him on 30th June hon. I've already told him. I've already said to him if baby is gonna be big then i don't want to go any later than 37 weeks.
I have a growth scan soon so that will give me more of a idea.
He hasn't been big at all so far. 35 centile at 20 weeks and 38th at almost 25 weeks..
She did say its very difficult to get it right with me. I have a massive scar and lost of leashions she said. She said it's all a bit lumpy and bumpy and u can't always tell whats what.
I don't feel any movements near my ribs or anything like that. There all mainly low down and the highest it by my belly button.


@LoneWanderer

I know its slapped cheek that's not good for pregnant womon. U cud always give the GP surgery a call and ask them or even ure pharmacy the pharamisists are there to answer any questions.
I'm glad he is back on the mend.
Cud it he a heat rash?

@LoneWanderer id definitely give the gp a ring just in case with being pregnant.

@Suggerhoney glad you are feeling a little less worried!

Yeah no go with the GP round here. If you get through in the day they just tell you to ring back next day at 8am. If you do that, end up in a 30+ person call queue. Finally get through to someone - and there's no appointments left. Absolutely pointless in every way.

It's defs roseola though. Fits perfectly, with how he's been. So not worried at all. He seems loads better, just looks awful. And I'm already at midwife on weds so not long now.

Ooh I've had my first moderna vaccine this morning (UK) ...anyone else had moderna? I don't think I know anyone! In our house we've had astra, Pfizer and moderna now!

Oh, so exciting! Bet that's such a relief. I am jealous, just want mine done now!! Moderna one seems to be more frequently given now, hearing more and more people getting it. Hope side effects don't suck too much! Everyone in our house had Pfizer I think. Pretty much all the same though ain't they?

Honestly no clue how I'm meant to have ten weeks left yet (well, 11 actually but section obvs)... I can't get any bigger, my hips will actually break. Baby feels like it's covering my entire bump right to the edges. Knees have completely packed in from the strain, both strapped up and can hardly walk. So much pressure and pain all the damn time. Braxton Hicks can fuck right off too. Definitely never, ever doing this again ahaha!

Aah @LoneWanderer bless you sounds so uncomfortable! I still think I have a pretty small bump, but it is just all baby, so it does get quite uncomfortable! I've also just reached that stage where I bend over to pick something up and suddenly my bump is in the way! I've got 14 weeks left, but I'm relying on about 11 because they have said she will be early! (Probably be late because they're building me up for this!)

All fine jab wise so far, just an achey arm, so I can live with that! Just fingers crossed it stays that way! You have to sit in the centre for 15 mins after it's done, and baby had hiccups for the entire 15 minutes!!

Ahhhh man @LoneWanderer I'm so sorry ure so uncomfortable. It makes me feel guilty because I'm still not aching and feel light. The only insue I have is itching.
Bad eczema flair up again.


So my jumpsuit arrived from Shein. And tbh I don't know if I look OK in it.
It's so so comfortable but feeling I look like a sack of potatoes or a telly tubby lol.


We've brought a moses basket now as u can see but still need to get some more stuff.
Gonna pack my hospital bag at 34 weeks and also set the pram up too.
Need to buy some new bottles. We have a steriliser already.
And still need to go through DS new born stuff.
I'm so slow lol

@LoneWanderer sorry you are feeling so uncomfortable, I’m pretty big but apart from at night I’m comfortable most of the time.

@Suggerhoney i think you look lovey, lovey bump and yay for buying a Moses basket

AFM I’m so glad it’s Friday I’m Knackered

@Neversayno hope you last day with the children went well

Oooow I will go have a looksie on there then hon.

Does anyone here watch 90 day fiancee? It used to be on TLC but then they moved it to a app called discovery + .
90 day fiancee is definitely one of my guilty pleasures.

Love Island starts soon too I'm definitely gonna be glued to that

@LoneWanderer So sorry your feeling so much pain is there any relief from water?( bath swimming etc?) In my 4th and 5th preg my pain was so bad that was the only time I would get relief!!

@Suggerhoney im not really a tv watcher, I do love me a good book though! Hav been enjoying the football strangely even tho England played rubbish tonight!

I cut my face out because it was not attractive, but I finally took a photo of my bump! I think bumps always look bigger from above, to me I feel quite big now, but when I look side on its really not huge! (Although that is a 7am I've eaten no food yet bump)
