Pregnancy after Long Term TTC #8

[Janie71]

Should i be sleeping on my side too? Im 10 weeks and not showing but have mostly been sleeping on my back.Im scared to do so now.

Don't stress - I think they advise not sleeping on your back from about 20 weeks onwards. Bubs and your uterus would not be heavy enough as of yet.

Ive been sleeping on my side with one of those long belly support pillows since i was about 14 weeks. personally I find it helps alot with the backache and feeling comfortable.. Sometimes even if i sit sort of slouched on the couch on my back a bit I get a bit dizzy when I stand up.. Good idea about propping the pillows behind you so u dont roll on your back i might try that one..

Funny posts today ladies

I have hobbit feet, they are so swollen, next to no ankles. Not very attractive I guess I should stop walking around the shops buying cute baby gear.

I have a pregnancy pillow on one side of me, and a smaller normal type pillow on the other side, so it is easy to flip from side to side, but absolutely necessary to support belly and put between knees. Now if only my groin pain would leave me alone.

I saw my OB yesterday, both girls are breech I don't know how serious I need to be to try to do things to get twin 1 to flip at least. Travelling well so far, but at 33 weeks I guess I could go any time, and was really hoping for a VB, so could be running out of time. Any ideas?

Love to all.

Green, just a special note to you to say woo hoo on doing so well and am counting down the days with you.

Hello ladies

Appointment with Ob went really well yesterday. Both DH and i walked away happy with our choice of Dr. We are now all officially booked into hospital, Ob and well on our way I even got my bounty bad. How exciting. DH said we should have got two as we are having two bubs.. haha.. We opened up the sample nappy and couldnt believe how cute and tiny it is! Now booked in for NT scan on the 1st Feb, the day we leave for Thailand oh and the BT to go with the scan will be done on the 25th Jan. Cant wait to see our lil ones again and hope and pray all will be ok.

As for the belly pillow, i have been using a normal pillow for the last two weeks or so to rest sideways on as im kind of a half belly sleeper and feels really uncomfortable to lay on my belly. I dont think ill be buying a pregnancy pillow as i have heard lots of ladies say that they stop using it from mid to late pregnancy as it just gets in the way. Ill just see how i go.

Baby Dreamtime i hope you find a way to turn twin 1 and get the birth you really want. I have everything crossed for you.

Lise - just a quick thought. Been chatting to a friend of mine, who took her baby away at about 15 weeks, and she had a last minute panic because baby didn't have a passport. Admittedly, it was a British passport, and therefore probably took longer to get than an Australian getting a passport in Australia, but you might want to pick up the forms in advance and have the paperwork ready so that you can submit it as soon as bub is born and you've taken the photos (my friend had two sets rejected, check up on the requirements before you take baby in!) and find out where/ how etc? One less thing to stress about when baby is born, I guess.

AFM, I have a new strange symptom. My belly button itches. I don't think I've noticed my belly button for the 35 ooops no 36 years of it's existance. Is itching normal? I'm worried that I'm definitely sticking out at 12 and a half weeks and you 15 week ladies aren't! I might skip todays ice-cream....

Hmm - and I'm irritated too that I haven't had an OB appointment yet! Grrr. I want a goody bag!!!
