Charlie has been home for a month over the summer holidays, and trying to keep an almost 14 year old entertained while feeling like a beached whale is.......diferent!
We have had a few problems with Bongo at work and he has had some time off, we have been trying to sort our cramped little flat out to make room for baby and baby things, I still have no idea where we are going to put everything!!
We are almost done buying everything now, just a few little bits and pieces and we are ready to rock and roll!! I can't believe I have only 14 and a half weeks left of this pregnancy, it's flown by.
I have a reallly really busy few weeks coming up appointment wise, although it's going to be busy, I am so very grateful that I am being looked after so closely. My next few weeks are like this:
Today - Midwife
11th Septemeber: VBAC Clinic
18th Septemeber: GTT
19th Septemeber: Anti-D blood test
20th Septemeber: Anti-D injection
1st October: Growth Scan
1st October: Consultant Appointment
In between, I will have another Midwife appointment as well.
I have Midwife this afternoon, just the usual checks etc, but I really do need to speak to her about this pelvic pain now, it has actually reduced me to tears on a number of occasions, the only way I can describe it, is like being kicked/having a groin strain (times 100). I can't get in and out of bed, it hurts to walk, and get up from a chair. I have bought a maternity belt, which is amazing, it holds it all in, and you feel like you kind of fall apart when you take it off! I would highly recommened one if your having pelvic problems. I am going to be asked to be referred to physio now, which she offered to do a few appointments back if I was still suffering.
I am also getting quite bad Braxton Hicks contractions! Except mine don't come and go, I have one that will last between 30 mins to an hour, then ease off, and I have this around 3/4 times a day, they can take my breath away at times! I was in the hallway when I got one Saturday night and was holding on to both sides of the wall for dear life, not quite being able to move, Bongo came and gave me his hands to hold while he tried to move me into the living room to sit down, but I couldn't move! He got screeched at to just 'leave me the fuck alone, I can't fucking move!'. Oh dear!! Imagine what I will be like in established labour??!!
Now, I really have a problem with the gruffalo! I can't shave, or when I do, I'm shaving blind and completely missing bits! I was thinking about trying and using some sensitive hair removing cream today, but that really only lasts as long as shaving, doesn't it? And it still means I have tot try and reach everywhere, and last time I tried using cream, it felt like I'd given my hoo ha third degree burns. I was thinking about biting the bullet and going for a wax, but I'm too scared, then someone recommeded sugar waxing as apparently it doesnt hurt so bad, but I'm still going to have to pluck up the courage to give that a go!! Such a dilema!
I have some bump pics, they are not great, so excuse the stretch marks!!
