I feel like I'm back to 1st trimester tiredness again :-( Once lunchtime arrives just wanna go to sleep. Have you noticed the same Clare?(I'm 28+3)
As I have been able to start exercising again, that seems to have given me a boost. Also with a lively 2.5 year old, napping is not often an option. When I am home I do try in sneak one in when she has a lunchtime nap.
I sympathise with the swollen feet & hands. I have not suffered too much this time. But during my last pregnancy the swelled massively. It was January and I had to resort to socks & my birkenstocks hmmm stylish!!
My cross trainer is in the conservatory - not great! So again I go for evenings with all the doors open & a fan.
Got club anniversary 10k relay at 7.30pm this eve ... will still be a scorcher then no doubt.
I'm only doing power-walking 1st leg of approx. 2k ... 4 x people to a team, each leg longer than last with 4th person doing last 5k all themselves - yikes, I shouldnt moan about my lil' 2k bit.
Like Mitchie Moo - best to go early morning or late eve on hot days - baby or no baby.

I may make the most of the light evenings and go later, although early morning would be better for my hayfever too - which is giving me hell at the moment and I can't take anything for it! Going to speak to GP next week to see if there is anything I can take but NHS direct said I couldn't.....
I'm v envious of all of you who are still running.. Enjoy! I'm just itching to get back running.
i'm back from west wales (glorious weather and lots of walking along the pembrokeshire coast path). fortunately, we didn't need my emergency hospital bag! however, i'm now HUGE. he seems to have grown massively in this last week and trousers which fitted me with room to spare last week are now TIGHT! eeek!!
glad to hear everyone is doing well, in spite of the heat. i really felt it badly today - it was about 30 degrees here this afternoon, and i just couldn't find anywhere cool. eventually settled for sitting under the oak tree in the shade, where i was catching some breeze.
LozF - hayfever with no anti-histamines sounds AWFUL. do speak to you doc as i'm sure there must be something you can take.
right -time to get some dinner on. have my parents staying tonight so it can't just be beans on toast!
Which part of Pembs did you go to? I'm originally from that area. The weather can be either be totally rainy and blowing a gale or absolutley lovely. Can't be much longer for you now. I was like that one minute all clothes were fine and then the next - bang a huge bump appreared from nowhere over night!
Haven't been running for 2 months what with moving and hubby away again. Hoping to join a running club on Thurs night - at last. Will only be able to go once a fortnight but least its better than nothing I suppose. Gone are the days when I can go 3 times a week. Mind you babes is starting creche tomorrow for the 1st time - just for a morning. Have got to the stage where its time for her to make new friends and will also mean I can get some things done apart from playing peek-a-boo etc all day...
Newgale my fav beach along with Tenby. Newgale is so near us at home and love going for a wee tipple on the beach front or at Solva
Hope you are all well, bumps and all.
Just a quick one about hayfever.
I suffer really badly with hayfever and the doctors were reluctant to prescribe as they weren't 100% sure. Anyway I've been taking Nelsons Pollenna for about 3 wks now. It's herbal and it has really made a difference. Not completely gone but 85% better I'd say. You can get it from Boots.
I've also recently been given some local honey which I heard helps so I've started taking that as well. Hope this helps..
I have to say though it has improved greatly the past few days, I think my body seems to be accepting it. maybe all the anti-histamines I've taken over the years have meant that my body stopped fighting it itself.
I am so looking forward to my scan on Wednesdya. I have a definite bump now, and I can't believe no one at work has twigged. (Maybe they just think it's the extra food I'm eating)
On Pembrokeshire - I've been about three times when I was a kid, and I don't ever remember it raining.
I can't remember exactly, but it would have been in the six weeks holiday!
There's no let up in the weather in South Wales at the moment. It's soooo humid! I went for a swim this morning and the pool was so lovely and cool to get into, but after a few minutes I was boiling hot. Still, I managed 2k and feel fine (in spite of only having about 90 mins sleep last night due to the thunder waking me up!!).
Good luck for your MRI scan MMJ! Let us know how it goes.
Sickness is really passing now, still feeling groggy in the evenings sometimes especially in this muggy weather, but have lots more energy. Managed without an early evening kip yesterday and will have to tonight as well, so a definite improvement.
Not long left for you now DCM? How many weeks are you now?
Just wanted to pop in and say good luck to Loz for tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.
I'm at work this morning, but I am so excited, I don't think much will get done.
I'll let you know tomorrow how it went - I'm sure it will be fine, but it will be nice to see it and get a proper due date.
I go back to the docs next Thursday. It's all a bit nerve-wracking. My sister (she's a Mum) says that this is just the start of constantly worrying - it gets worse once the little one is born...
I saw my belly move for first time last night (just over 23 weeks now), baby was kicking quite strongly and you could see my belly moving, really weird, like something out of alien !!!!!
I'm still getting lots of fluttering with the odd kick, but can't see anything from outside yet, or really feel from outside yet either.
Decaff - MRI scan went OK. Very noisey machine which surprised me - for some reason thought it was going to be quiet. Scan only lasted 12 mins and now got to wait 4 - 6 weeks before I get the results. Which seems like forever - little one will nearly be 10 months by then.
Well she seemed to enjoy her first morning at Creche yesterday but was totally worn out by the time she got home - managed to sleep for 3.5 hours when got her home - ah bless. Got an interview today for a part-time job so she's off again later. This time I won't be staying with her so just hope she'll be OK. I'm sure she will.
Good luck with the outcome anyway!
LozF - best of luck for the scan - it's so exciting and emotional when you first see them on screen.
I was so lucky to have extra scans due to my complications. Now everything is resolved that is it now until D-Day!
