Sooo quiet in Due In November - How are the Bumps???
Hi ladies,
So how are the bumps and how is everyone doing - its so quiet on here!
I'm getting hefty kicks and baby definitely doesn't like the direct sun! I'm also getting quite a bit of lower back pain, so am seeing an osteopath and starting pilates to try to help stabilise it a bit.
The hospital are also keen for me to try a VBAC - so that's thrown me completely as I had assumed they would say another c-section. Now that I know this option is open to me, I'm really keen on a waterbirth, but they wont allow me on the natural birth centre only the labour ward - not what I had in mind - think I may have a battle on my hands! Have just booked into Hypnobirthing classes as this really appeals, though I'm the world's worst relaxed person, so I think I've got my work cut out!
Hope everyone's having a lovely summer, bumps and all xxx

Hello! I'm doing good, bump is lively and kicking the crap out of me. It's really weird I can sometimes feel exactly where he is lying, I can feel his head and his back! He seems to like pushing up into the right side of my ribs and sometimes I have to poke him back down because it's uncomfortable! My back has been killing me lately, my tailbone and pelvis aches when I sit at my desk, my middle back aches when I sit on the sofa. Ache ache ache!
My friend recommended hypnobirthing to me, I was looking for classes and came across daisy birthing which I think coverd yoga, hypno birthing and active birthing techniques. I start on Tues, I'm quite excited! When do you start hypnobirthing?
Ooh I hope you get to have a waterbirth
I'm starting to feel excited about giving birth, I have been completely terrified but over the last week I have lost my fear and I'm looking forward to it, I feel confident. My OH reckons it's cos my body knows the baby is now viable.. Either way I am glad to feel confident and not feel scared anymore!

Im due 31st oct but always look in here occasionally but so much quieter than my last pregnancy. Lots of kicks here too and baby still doing somersaults but last one breech till 37 weeks so used to it.
I turned down vbac due to traumatic birth, I want to feel as in control as possible this time and for me that's an elective section, hospital supportive which was a massive relief!
Low lying placenta at last scan so due another to check position, I'm finding I'm a lot more uncomfortable, sooner this time, not sure why, feel bigger too. Just had bloods re-requested following my 28 week bloods as well so not sure why but guessing probably anemic, have to wait and see but a bit odd as I just got a letter and no explanation x
Hi ladies, it is quiet on here, I go on the facebook group quite a lot but need to kick my own arse and come on here more often!!
I'm having lots and lots of kicks, esp after eating and when I lie in bed just before sleep!
We've decided on a def girls name but have a few options for boys

Good to hear everyone's doing well. Glad I'm not the only mad?optomistic? one doing hypnobirthing Sian! I start on the 30th for 4 sessions of 2hrs each. Getting quite excited too!!
My back is still really giving me grief. Osteo has given me some exercises to do at home and I'm seeing her again next week. Looking forward to starting pilates this week too.
Have bought a birthing ball to use at my desk (recommended by osteo) so that might help. I also had tailbone pain in my last pg Sian and ended up buying a doughnut cushion to ease the discomfort at my desk - I think everyone thought I had piles LOL!
Good to hear from you S-evans. Didn't hear your last scan update so hoping all was well. I'm also being checked at 28,32,36 which is reassuring and aspirin all the way through, but half dose from 36wks.
Wev'e got our baby's name sorted thank goodness - very exciting!

inka2012 hope your blood tests results are okay. I've got my 28 week bloods booked for next thurs, I'll actually be 30 weeks but I requested a specific nurse cos I hate needles and this particular nurse is really good!
s-evans we told my 2 step-kids about the baby at the weekend they are both really excited
I haven't decided on a name yet, I have a few ideas written down but nothing we really love or can agree on yet! We're probably going to have a list of a few we like and then decide when he's born.
MrsS1981 I am same as you, baby moves loads after eating which I guess is the energy rush and then when I go to bed he has a party. My friend said when we walk about our pelvis rocks and makes baby sleep so when we lie down it stops rocking them and they wake!
MrsKH72 my friend used hypnobirthing for both her babies. The daisy birthing doesnt go quite as deep as proper hypnobirthing, it kind of relaxes you almost all the way there if that makes sense! Had first class last night, we did yoga then some relaxation techniques, I feel more confident already!
Well I've been signed off work now as had a panic attack on Monday - long story short I've been put under a lot of pressure at work and it just got too much for me. Doc said stress can induce early labour so safer to sign me off until end of Aug so that's me off work now til next year!

How did I miss the facebook group - could some please point me in the right direction. x
Baby is a little wriggler, also most active time is just as I go to bed, I play him/her some soothing music and it kicks away.
Also struggling with boys names, have a few in mind but nothing set, find girls easier to think of.
Hope everyone is doing ok, hope the aches n pains aren't too bad can't believe we are all in/entering the 3rd trimester. Seems like no time at all we were all 'meeting' on here x x x
Sorry to hear Hubs nanna isn't well, I hope she makes a full recovery.
I'm not pistive on this but I think of your off sick your maternity leave will automatically start 11 weeks before baby is due? I'm off to google it now x x x
Sorry to hear about your hub's nanna
