Pregnant Lady Round-up

Since we are on the new site and all, thought we should check in and see how everyone is doing! Mamaluv has scored first with a new baby girl, how about the rest of you?

I'm doing okay, 9 weeks to go yesterday. Getting tired again which is not conducive to packing for a move to a house we don't have yet. Each time the phone rings, I pray it's the realtor with the perfect house. The new fun is that the kid has turned and so is stretching the sides of my stomach. Hurts to move! But as the doctor pointed out, I don't do enough sit-ups when not pregnant. Waiting to hear for my appt for the obstetrician who will do the c-section. Unfortunately, doesn't sound like I'm going to get the guy I wanted since he is on vacation for the next month or so. Oh well. I am sure this other person is just as good.

How are the rest of you doing? Roomie is off on vacation I know...

Welcome back Rommie! Hope you had a great time. Don't forget to message the Oracle with your due date (and gender if you know/want it posted) and they will post it on the bottom of the front page.

We must be due within days of each other. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow. I broke down and bought a belly band because my sides were hurting so much with the baby shifting. SO worth it. I can move by the end of the day again!

Hey TommysMommy, The other day I asked if the bellyband would help with support(on another post) because my sides kept hurting and I was told no, it doesn’t help for that. But it is helping you?

I asked my doctor about it last week since the sides of my stomach were so sore, I could barely move by the end of the day. She said that the baby had moved into head down position and was sitting lower than before. She also said it was because I, like everyone else, didn't do enough sit-ups while not pregnant!

She recommended a band that is more like a back brace, but for your stomach. Mine has velcro and stretches to fit. I pull it around the small of my back and velcro it in front under my stomach. I bought at a maternity story. I don't know if you guys have Thyme Maternity in the States. It has definitely helped. I can tell instantly when I don't have it on, the stomach really rides low. Sorry I missed that in the other post!

OK I'll look into that! I think the other bellybands we were talking about where just the stretchy kind that hides your belly, so that is probably why they did not have support :)

Mine's more like this one:

Lots of support rather than the main purpose being hiding gaps and stuff. I found the stretchy ones to be too loose.
