29+5 Weeks - RIBS RIBS RIBS

All i can say is OUCH!!! I have been awake pretty much the whole of this week with really bad rib pain through the night. It is sooo depressing, nothing seems to help to get me comfortable, and i am trying so hard not to take paracetamol on a regular basis, but today a friend told me i have to help myself, so i am going to start to take it every 6 hours in the hope i can get some rest bite from the pain :( I wish i wish i wish i could sleep - this will no doubt be my mantra for the next few years, but my gosh, how i wish i could just sleep like a baby for one night, just one night!!!
The pregnancy itself is oging well touch wood! My pelvic pain has almost completely settled, and the physio has signed me off her books, unless i need to contact her! I have to say it is such a releif to not be struggling day to day to walk. Now my waddle is down to weight not pain!
Bump is growing well, i had a scare about a month ago where i was measuring about 3.5 weeks ahead, but at my last Midwife appt i was back on track and measuring only 1 week ahead which is okey dokey! My diabetes test came back negative which i was sooooo happy about. Having PCOS i expected to have the diabetes so thumbs up body!
Found my first baby stretch mark last week right on my tummy near my belly button :( Whilst i don't mind really, i was kinda sad that this purple red mark had appeared and that more will come. But on the same token, they mean such an amazing thing that I would never wish hem away - weird i know!
DH is still determined not to molly coddle me, and i kinda wish he would sometimes. I get tired kinda quick nowadays and he hasn't even cooked for me since i got pregnant! A bit of TLC would go a long way at the moment :(
Sooo the big news is that our landlord issued us with a notice of eviction as he wants to turn our 3 bed house to a 4 to rent to students :( He gave us 2 months to get out which was when baby was due, so we had to negotiate a further 6 motnhs but at a higher rent which sucks totally. We were going to be here for at least another 2 years, and i so wanted to decorate babies nursery - but for now we will make do. Searching for a new place has been so hard as we have a dog and no landlord will take one :( Stress we don't need just now. I guess that's also played a big part in my sleepless nights.
So for now all is ok ish!!!
Love to all

18.5 weeks, thats like almost half way!

I cant believe that i am almost half way!! Little ones movement are more noticeable now, but they seem to be quite sporadic. A couple weeks ago i could time when he/she would be more active, but at the moment theres no pattern...
I do notice that my bump goes hard at some times during the day, and i have put this down to baby moving towards the front.... that said, i have had a UTI and that gave me some "tightenings" but i dont think it is that that i am feeling now.
UTI has been a nightmare, the doctors go crazy when you are pregnant with a UTI! I have peed in at least 4 pots in the last 2 weeks for testing, and been to the docs 2 times for results... the last one seemed ok, but the receptionist called today to tell me to collect some more penicillin even though i Saw the doc 2 days ago and all was ok?!?! I booked in to see doc instead on Thursday, as i think there is some confusion and i don't want to take pills if i dont need to, i certainly dont feel UTI ish.... that said i am peeing alot at night still - anyone else do this anyway while pregnant??
I am still in non maternity clothes, although i cant do my trousers up so had to buy a "belly belt" pack and a belly cover thingy to help keep things covered! Maternity trousers are huge and have massive stretchy bump covers that i just dont need right now!
Bump isnt really that big either, so i am looking forward to the 20 wk scan to check all is ok etc!! I have promised myself i will relax a bit after this scan and start to enjoy this pregnancy!!
I have called the physios regarding my pubic pain and am waiting for an appt, but we keep missing each others calls which sucks :(

Boobs are continuing to grow ever bigger! Rest assured should i fall off a boat i will float!!!

Tiredness seems to be the name of the day still, and i find the afternoons are worse (i could do with a doze now), but i find it hard to sleep at night OR to lay in which is very frustrating...

Anyways, i must get on here more often i am a bad blogger!!!!

BLOOD

I am or at least i hope i still am 6 weeks +3 today. Yesterday i had just started to relax a little about this pregnancy, i have been having some cravings for certain foods, like steak pie, so headed out to find some - i wasnt succesful but settled for a chilli instead!
I noticed some pressure in my womb area as i was wondering around the store, and didnt really think anything of it. I also had some stabbing pains in my right ovary area (which i have been getting a hint of the last few days). It wasnt very painful at all but enough to notice...

I got home, shoved the chilli in the microwave and went for a pee. When i wiped there was bright red blood all over the tissue... i kinda said "oh f*ck" and called hubby to tell him (answerphone grr) and went straght to the ER.

It seemes to turn pinky by the time i had got there but still had the stabby psin in right ovary. They took bloods, said my urine was full of blood but there was basically nothing they can do and sent me home. They booked me a scan at the early pregnancy unit on Monday morning - another weekend stressing...

As i left the ER the blood was red again, but overnight seems to have stopped, i may have passed a small clot last night but not sure as it was in the loo! I havent had cramping, just the stabby pain....
