3rd trimester: Pregnancy Update



Hey lovelies, i cannot believe i am 34 weeks today. How has that gone by so quick?


Whilst we have most of our baby things ready, which includes getting the moses basket all dressed, washing the clothes, and having the car seat sorted. we still have the odd bits to get sorted, which we will do as and when. Probably last minute!




But sadly i have been made aware that my baby is in a breech position. Which means i could have him in the next month. If i am honest, i am quite against it, not because of surgery, but because life for the 6 weeks will become alot more difficult in the terms of looking after my boys and general day to day errands.

So i have been given a list of, shall we say, interesting manoeuvres to get baby W moving. 

Going swimming, and doing headstands under the water.
Frozen peas on the top of my abdomen area to get him to move away, and hopefully down.
Moxibustion which is the holistic approach and making my body go almost upside down for 3 breaths to get baby to flip. 

I have till 36 weeks, 37 weeks at tops to get to see if he will move, before having a scan to confirm his position, and then to be booked in for a c section. Sob.

Also whilst i have been in the maternity hospital, i was tested twice to see if i would be likely to go into preterm labour. That test is called the Fibronectin test, which basically means the doctors take a sample of your cells from the neck of your cervix and it detects whether or not you would be going into labour within a 2-3 week period. So obviously it tested positive on both tests. Typical me.

So lets hope that the little monkey serious likes acrobatics and flips into the head down position, which could mean i go the full 42 weeks like my current youngest did, or baby number 3, will be here early August!

Pray for me.

My life is to be surrounded by my boys.

Hey peeps, its me! 

Anyway, thought i would catch you up on whats been going on in my life this past 4 months...


So back before Christmas i felt something was 'up'. Turned out intuition does exist. I was expecting!

As you may or may not be aware of, the first few months are complete torture and the worst part of pregnancy if i am honest. 



We have been to both our scans which, still to this day is magical and fascinating. (how can something be created from a moment of fun/madness ha)! 


16 weeks (heard the heartbeat for the first time)
20 weeks (halfway)

21+4 weeks with a son!


We found out this Monday that we are having a boy. My third son. Something we are very very happy with indeed. 

Beautiful baby boy.


But sadly this pregnancy has not been all flowers and rainbows. Due to me having a complicated pregnancy four years ago with my Mason, it seems my uterus is incredibly sensitive which leads to me being unable to walk for more than 20-30 mins at any one time. Contracting daily too. 

But at least we can now get the items we need (or in my case, do not really need, and its more of an impulse shall we say), and prepare for the little man to arrive in early August.

Until next time... Ta xx
