Hey, nothing here yet!

Tuesday, 22 JanTonight I went into a state of paranioa about miscarriage. Suddenly I decided my breasts had stopped feeling sore and were shrinking and I had some muscular twinges in my lower stomach. I am probably just being a hypochondriac and working myself into a state about nothing. Its difficult not haing anyone to talk to immediately about all of these things for reassurance. If I had a partner I guess that would be the person who would ease all those little anxieties. Mostly I think this all began today when I had my third battle with the hospital to organise a first scan date. They have managed to lose my records on three occaisions already not putting me into their system to go ahead with the usual process. Im anxious to have my first scan just to know that everything is ok and so I can start announcing this - especially at work so I can take it easy a bit more. Its difficult. I have to call them tomorrow morning and see if I can arrange an appointment Agh! The NHS in the UK is appalling - so far anyway. Fingers crossed it will get a bit better - I wont be holding my breath though.

Monday, 3 MarMy next scan is on the 31st of March - bring it on. Even though my belly is becoming more pronounced I now feel anxious to see that everything is ok again. Fingers crossed X

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi! Saw your comment about being afraid to be induced, I was induced last week and it was great! Granted everyone is different but I don't think it made anything harder then it would have been. I was really against a c-section so I figured the closer I got to 42 weeks the bigger chance it became. I was 40 weeks and 5 days when we went in and everything went fine. Best of Luck!!!

Hi hon, that sharp pain at the top of your leg going down your thigh sounds like sciatica. It's common in pregnant women and it hurts like the dickens! :( It makes sleep difficult but switching sides often and using pillows around you and between your knees to get comfy helps some.
As for the Braxton Hicks contractions... just as real labor is different and feels different for every woman, BH contractions can be different for every woman. Some women may have their whole belly go hard like that, but for some it feels like period cramps, and still others feel the contractions as a backache! Mine always felt like a period cramp and backache combo with my daughter. Then when I went into real labor it felt the same only it kept hurting more and more and more. With this one it's just period cramps but no backache. A friend of mine kept getting back pains and thought it was just normal backache from carrying the baby, but her doctor told her she was having contractions. The only thing she felt was backache. My other friend felt hers as her belly getting hard. So it's different for every woman. What you feel may be the baby stretching or it may be contractions! You'll eventually be able to tell which one it is, it just takes time and experience. :)

Baby kicks for me sometimes hurt. Ooo boy do they ever, it feels like he is really trying to GET OUT of me! The other day I looked down and my stomach looked like a rollercoaster! it was just moving around like a wave ! He just couldnt make up his mind on where he wanted to sit! I dont blame him though, it is getting kinda tight in there, being at week 30 and all ;)

Watermelon, and loads of it honey. It'll get that water straight out of you. Haven't tried it, but was mentioned in "girlfriend's guide to pregnancy" as one mom would eat a whole one before weigh-in at the dr.s

You may want to talk to your doc about this. Large amounts of retained water can indicate bigger problems. They can usually rule these out with a urine sample to test for sugars and proteins in your urine.

Take care, much love,
Jen

hey there. I was just reading your post about your swollen feet. I've also been suffering from what i like to call "fred flinstone feet". my feet were swollen and disgusting and i had somehow gained 10 pounds in 2 days!! This made no sense to me as i had only gained 14 pounds in the 6 months prior.
When i spoke with my Dr. She prescribed compression stockings. i wore them for a week and really noticed a difference. The weight came off (obviously water retention). The unfortunate part of the condition is that it will stick with us for the remainder of the pregnancy. The good part is that if you drink LOTS of water, make sure you're not standing or sitting for too long at a time, resting when you need to, the swelling is manageable. If you stop doing those things, it goes right back to big, puffy, water logged sausage feet. i took my compression stockings off for a couple of days, thinking that everything was back to "normal". I woke up yesterday almost unable to walk as fluid had settled not only in my feet and ankles but all the way up by claves as well...low and behold, the weight was back too.
Good luck, i know how uncomfortable and not nice it can look. My mother-in-law felt bad for me and took me for a pedicure to cheer me up. At least now when i'm looking at my swollen toes, they're really pretty!

Thanks, i really appreciate all the support. And you are right. My mother did raise me, not my father, and me and her are very close too. I hope me and my daughter are as close as me and my mom.

Awww, I know that melty feeling seeing your baby on that ultrasound being so cute! I couldn't take my teary eyes off my little one playing with his feet in there last week! Congrats on a GIRL! :)

well i'm still pregnant but i don't regret knowing the sex of my baby at all, as soon as i found out i started calling her by her name, before it was kind of weird, i didn't know how to talk to her, now i can imagine her doing all this girly girl things... i couldn't imagine going 9 months w/o knowing what am i having...

Jaclyn82 - Thursday, 27 Mar
hey. i am having that problem too. mostly i think because of the length. i am small framed but i am 5foot 6inches tall. i want a pair that dont look like maternity. i know that mimi maternity has some but they are sooooo much money. i dont want to spend $50 dollars jeans. good luck finding some.

igobyjade - Thursday, 27 Mar
Can I just tell you that I am totally on the same page when it comes to maternity jeans. I too am at size 14 but they still do not fit correctly! I was told to go to a maternity store and just invest in a really good pair. I'm in the US...but when I find that perfect pair, I'll tell you what they are! :)

I think the idea of a surprise baby at birth is awesome! However, I usually give the same advice to anyone who asks me this question. I think it all depends on what you want deep down in your heart. If you truly don't care if you have a boy or a girl, then surprise yourself! But if you're honest with yourself and find yourself leaning one way or the other, maybe it's best to find out and have time to accept the news so you're nothing but excited at the birth. I have a daughter and was really wanting another girl, but I found out at 20 weeks that I'm having a boy. I was a little disappointed at first, but at the same time delighted that I was having a healthy baby. By now, I've had so much time to plan and prepare for this little guy that I can't believe I ever wanted a girl. I'm SO excited to have a little boy! So, there's my 2 cents! :) Good luck!
