Baby no3: 27 wks +1
This last week seems to have dragged to get to this point. As of next Sunday I am in the final trimester! Yay then the bets start as to when she will make an appearance.
I am still feeling great, and the Dr gave me something for the heartburn – Maalox – great stuff! I can take it without feeling/being sick after taking it and it works. To be honest, it has headed off the past week, but it’s vane back and I am putting it down to drinking Irn Bru ( fizzy pop). I hadn’t had any for over a week and was fine but now I have started drinking it again it’s back. Never mind.
My bump is getting bigger now, though j am still concerned about the very little weight gain, but scan on the 20th will confirm her size etc.

I wouldn’t worry too much about weight gain, I only really gained 11lbs this entire pregnancy and she ended up being 7bs 8.6oz at birth which really isn’t too bad! 🙂
I have had 5 pregnancies and really bad heartburn with all of them. You can take prevacid OTC, but my favorite was putting the Maalox or Mylanta in the refrigerator. Then when it felt like my whole chest was on fire, I would take a chug or two of the nice cold Mylanta (thats the one I normally used) and I would feel instant relief. My doctor told me to remember the M’s Maalox and Mylanta but never Pepto Bismol because it thins your blood which can cause iron deficiency in pregnancies.
