How is everyone doing?

[Victoria01]

Haven't heard much from you ladies lately and I am just wondering how everyone is doing. Hope all pregnancies are going well.

My little man is moving 24 hours a day, I swear!! I am hoping he is trying to move head down before my presentation scan on the 25th, but as of right now he is still transverse. My acid reflux is gone, due to the prevacid, but the nausea has come back with a vengeance! I can't stand the smell of cooked food again!! BH contractions are getting harder and about 2 an hour, though yesterday I had a few of what I would call 'real' contractions as they hurt all the way around my back and stomach and down my legs. Luckily there was only four of those all day, so nothing to worry about. :)

I'm doing ok... my only complaint at this time is I'm having stabbing pains in my belly today.  It started when I was carrying laundry and it's just kind of an off and on thing.  I think I just injured a muscle or something.  Other than that, I went for my 31 wk check up and had an ultrasound as well.  The baby is now in the head down position, thank God!  She's moving around all of the time.  The doctor doesn't think we'll be waiting till April at this point because he feels she is big for her age... 4lbs, 4oz.  So far I've gained 14 lbs. and the doctor thinks that's great.  We're really getting excited.

Like you 2 ladies my nausea and vomiting has come back with vengeance, I can't stand the smell of cooking and any bad odour sets me off. The raging heartburn when I am hungry and after eating is also triggering off nausea and seem to consume more gaviscon daily than I do food. I have no idea of my weight as they don't routinely weigh you in the UK (thank you god!) but would guess at at least 30lb?.... I am huge!

I have been struggling with lots of aches and pains and very swollen hands arms feet and legs which are more swollen by the end of the day and very stiff in the mornings. Belly is getting huge and my back is very uncomfortable which is making sleeping impossible. The fatigue has also kicked in really badly again and constantly wanting to take naps! The hospital discovered I had high blood pressure and protein in my urine 3 weeks ago and I was admitted for that initially and then sent home on bed rest (easier said than done with other children to look after!) so atm just trying to take things easy.

Baby is in breech position and seems content with that... not too much of a worry though as I having a c-section delivery anyway although because of a c-section scar rupture in a previous pregnancy and now my high blood pressure it has now been agreed that I will not go over 37 weeks this time and baby will be here in less than 6 weeks aghhhhhh!

I have a scan in 10 days to make sure baby’s weight and lungs etc are on schedule for 37 weeks and then the countdown commences!!

blech.
I am sicker than a dog. I have no idea who got me sick but this is horrible. All I wanna do is rest. The doc said all I can take is Sudafed (which only makes me sleepier). Life goes on though, miserably ...

because I'm sick, all the aches and pains from being so pregnant are intensified twice over. It even hurts when she moves (which is constantly). I think i've slept a total of 7 or 8 hours in the past three days altogether. I start my new job on Monday ... well that's the plan but it might be stymied since I work as a Sterile supply technician in the sterile supply unit of the hospital. not a good idea to be bringing all the nasty germs down there with me.

I'm still measuring bigger than normal, but everything is ok other than that. still have only gained a pound :)
