19th October Ladies ... **5 Births Already**

[Phantom710]

Yay V-Day Week, that is such a great milestone. Knowing that SHOULD, for some god-awful reason you have baby that early, there's actually a small chance

No rib pain for me, but my back is been hurting. I have a pregnancy pillow, and it helps some, but I still wake up uncomfortable throughout the night.

*yawn* off to work. so sleepy.....

I didn't leak with Adam till the last 6 weeks or so, and only then if I squeezed, there wasn't any spontaneous leakage! I thought I wouldn't be able to bf with him, so I was thrilled when I could, though it wasn't exclusive, we combination fed from about day 4. still, he got some breast milk every day til he was 4 months old (when it all dried up ) so I was happy about that. if the same thing happens with this one I'll be ok, though I'd rather he had more bm/for longer, but I don't think it's possible for me (for physical/anatomical reasons).

I'm not sleeping great either, but it's the heat, heartburn and my brain just kicking into overdrive that's the problem. need to go to doc again this week and get some more Gaviscon Advance, or something better.

Maryjo - I feel your pain on the heartburn!! Nothing is helping If mine carries on am gonna ask to be put back on ranitidine as thats the only thing that helps me

 

[BabyDeacon]

It's pretty warm here as well, I go stand in front of the coller in the office :O heheh

 

[nypage1981]

Its so cold here and supposed to be hot! Lol, im kinda jealous!

I am with you all on heartburn- i've never really had it before this pregnancy and im constantly drowning in acid up to my throat....ugh, so nasty. You all mention prescriptions....are they for heart burn? My doc has not offered anything. BOooo

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Yer ny i got terrible heartburn with Tyler which didn't really go away after i had him so the doc prescribed me ranitidine (Zantac) and it was a life saver!! Altho when i got pregnant this time round they took me off it and told me they would prescribe it again I'n later pregnancy only if needed x there are quite a few ladies on Bnb that take it x

 

[nypage1981]

Interesting....last night I had it bad and took only one singly antacid (TUMS) and it went away! I was so surprised that one chewable did it...so maybe im ok there. I just hate chewing those nasty, chalky tablets but felt a lot better


Off to the beach today for my first time pregnant...feeling slighty exposed, and self conscience!

 

[BabyDeacon]

Its nearly here.........

Okies Lil man has not stopped moving all day today! hahahah

 

[x-TyMa-x]

vday tomorrow ladies x

 

[katerdid]

Ugh, yeah heartburn is the worst! I've been lucky so far with Tums - I hate that chalky texture but I usually chew it a bit, then swallow the chunks with water lol. I was so angry tho ... went to a Thai place last night with some friends and had to be super picky about getting something with no spice to it. Where's the fun in Thai food then? But I prolly saved myself some major heartburn and my food was still pretty tasty.

I've noticed that if I lay down flat on my back recently I knock the wind out of myself. I must not have any room in there! Ah the joys of having a short torso. My uterus is super duper high, but it's only measuring 2 weeks ahead, so I'm in for some fun later on, aren't I? Guess that's what happens if you're only 5ft3 and have a 31in inseam! All legs...

My boobies usually leak if I pick at them lol. I've only had a spontaneous leak once that I know of. I told my hubby they are off limits now and he said, "but what if i'm thirsty?" EWWW, he's awful!!!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

^ LOL!! I boobs have gone from a B cup to a D cup so me and OH were talking lastnite about how big they have got , i said shame they will shrink...i might just keep expressing to keep my big boobs and we would save a fortune on milk (i was joking of course )

his reply was - ere thats a good idea, i would drink it HAHAHA!! men - disgusting creatures! lol

 

[katerdid]

Ewww, that is gross...I mean, I'm sure it would be fine health wise and all...but just the thought..idk. I couldn't do it! I'll prolly have a taste, just out of curiosity and I'm sure my hubby will sneak some if I pump, but to replace cow's milk? No thanks! I've just now gotten used to it lol.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Anyone for coffee haha urgh!!! gross no

Mmmmmm coffee, kait you dont know how jealous i am that u work at starbucks!!

 

[katerdid]

Lol, yeah, I do like it. It's quite convenient at times. And depending on which manager is on duty I usually don't ever have to pay if I go to my store. Plus I get all the free pounds of coffee beans I want. Great Christmas pressies! Although it is not that fun when you're preggo...standing on your feet all day, and when I had MS...lord, coffee smells made me want to puke.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

oh no how awful for it making u feel sick, i got that with Tyler just the smell of coffee made me want to puke but this time its the complete opposite!

Ooooo i think i would constantly be on a caffine high working there!! haha, what was that toffee nut or something u mentioned a while back xx

 

[Phantom710]

There is a little deli (can't remember where) that i saw on the news that serves cheese made with breastmilk. People actually enjoy it. o.o

This morning has been interesting for me. Woke up in rediculous pain this morning. Felt like my side was slitting apart, managed to get up and head to work, butit didn't really ease up. Luckily, my doctor is like.....20 feet from my office so I stopped in unscheduled to seea nurse.

They checked my urine, no protein or anything so they eliminated kidney and uti (since i'm on uti antibiotics). So they called the doc in and he told me baby was fine, but i'm broken

Apparantly, due to my larger than average belly, my torso, etc. my muscles have been really weakened by all the stretching and i've managed to pull one in my side. and to top it off baby is pushed up against it.

SO, he prescribed Flexerall (sp?) a muscle relaxer safe while pregnant, but he said it'll make me super groggy and very tired. SO, he said to take 2 calcium tablets a day, vitamin d, and eat a few bannanas. I am also to keep heat on it, but can't figure out how to do that at work. If that hasn't helped in a few days, try the prescription.

So....ya. "awesome" morning.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

OUCH!!

oh no phantom - how awful hope the tablets help you xx Try & rest it as much as u can xx
