I think I am falling to bits.......
Veins......alsorts..... Chronic hip and pelvic pain Carpal Tunnel thingy... Migraines Kicking like any minute he will jump out...Midwife said as there is lots of room from prior stretching etc the kicking can be horrendous til the end :( Currently the pressure down there is so bad I could swear he is on his way out with his hands around his head pinching me............. Oh and Pre Term Labour starting at 32 weeks .....fortunately stopped by lots of PILLS and jabs :( Yuck I have decided that Mother Nature most certainly has made it clear this is my last! My other two pregnancies were relatively not BAD! Anyone else been there and done that with number three???? -------------

my number 4 was my worst in terms of how i felt..
- horrid morning sickness that lasted throughout the pregnancy (if not spewing feeling nauseaus!!) - really low iron - extreme tiredness (low iron and in general!!) - hugely uncomfy - pelvic pain, tailbone pain the list could go on!! so worth it in the end though, my boy is sooooooooo yummy 
and i might add that the week after he was born i was fully missing being pregnant and decided i wanted more babies 
however as time is passing i am strating to change my mind! lol. |

I have a friend who is with #3 and has been having trouble with varicose veins almost the whole way thru (yes, right over summer).  -------------  |

Awww Kelly! You poor woman!
I know how busy and demanding my boy is and how exhausted I feel just with that, I can't imagine doing it all with a bump and all those symptoms you're describing! You're reaffirming my 'no more babies' plan! I'm sure wee bub will make it all up to you when s/he arrives though, with all kinds of cuteness and love 
Big hugs hunny, not too much longer to go! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

My thrid was probably the worst pregnancy, but also i was 8 years older since the last as well.
I look at the photo of I have just before we headed to have the ceasar and i look sick to death of being pregnant - it reminds me why i shouldn't have another as a lil while back (and even now and tehn) I think perhaps one more would hurt - I put my insane moment of laps on alot of my friends having or trying for babies right now. my first pregnancy was a dream (although labour waasn't) my second pregnancy I had a few troubles UTI all the way thru but her labour was a dream. thrid what was different: I was threatened to be put on bed rest - too much fluid I got huge from day dot I got GD My ribs felt like I was getting electric shocked every time I got up, twisted (found out when I had him that his head was jammed in my ribs and they had to pull hard to get him out and probably fractured my ribs when he was inside me and every time I moved they did and his head would of pinched anything around it- ouch!!) Breeched baby had to have ceasar Legs, ankle and hands swelled alot - they looked like tree trunks. Not to mention very tired (its happens in any though) Not being able to sleep at night cause I couldn't get comfortable or got cramp or numereous trips to the toilet All of the above didnt happen in pervious pregnancies (except toilet trips and tiredness) But in the end I have Rhyley and he is such a cool little boy so would do it again to have him ------------- Ann

hehe this is def my last !!!! Nothing to report yet as only 12 weeks but wait for it , my first was lovely , my second was plagued with difficulties resulting in a prem birth at 30 weeks, I'm praying like crazy this one will get to at least 36-38 weeks and then elective c for me which I'm already silently freaking about!!! -------------
