[sam#3]

i know double figures soon... eeeeeeeeeppppp!!!!!

 

[BabyDeacon]

omg! 2 weeks and were in 3rd tri........ wow....feelings are kinda going everywhere now!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Eeeek same, Im excited cuz i cant wait to meet my little girl but im also nervous and scared about labour again

 

[katerdid]

Gosh, it's coming up fast! I'm torn between being scared of labor and just wanting to get it over with lol.
I got the movie: Laugh and Learn About Childbirth. I really liked it. Gonna watch it again with the hubby cuz he's sooo clueless about labor.

Did my glucose test today. That stuff was icky! So sugary...made me all light-headed. Also did my HGT or w/e it's called...the one to check if your anemic or something? I have a bad feeling I didn't do too well on it. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[sam#3]

im the other way round - im excited to give birth, meet my baby and breastfeed again but i am scared and nervous about then having 4 children!!!!

 

[sam#3]

i have to have my iron one repeated at 28 weeks too as i was really anaemic last time but i am RUBBISH at taking my iron tablets

 

[katerdid]

I don't take iron, tho I really should. They just taste so nasty! I'm rubbish at taking things too...haven't taken my prenatal's on a regular basis since 15 weeks. Oops!

 

[sam#3]

I always forget to take tablets - which is clearly what got me here in the first place

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Im not taking iron this time yet, I had to take it with tyler before and after the birth, i got offered a blood transfusion after the birth but i was a bit simple and thought it involved some kind of operation so i chose the iron tabs lol x ....made me constipated and gave me piles ...... Joyful!! lol

HaHa the wonders of pregnancy!

Im not sure if i will need iron again this pregnancy...... x
Got my 1st anti D injection at 28weeks

 

[Mary Jo]

my iron results a few months ago were ok, at least the blood iron ones, but the doc told me later that my stored iron was a little low. so I've been taking Spatone in the hope that it raises my energy levels.

I'm looking forward to the whole birth and after... am sure it's going to a big stretch from one child to two but it's a bit late to be worried about it now. hopefully I'll have my mum around for the first few weeks once my husband is back at work.

re prenatals, ack, I'm awful with them as well. took them religiously for weeks and remembered today and I think it had been at least a week or more since the last time

and re knickers - gah, I don't want to wear belly warmers. might just get some high leg briefs or something in a bigger size. can't bear red marks from elastic digging.

 

[nypage1981]

Undies- haha, i was thinking of this today too. Mine all seem tight or give me plumber's crack.....so guess i need to figure out some bigger ones too! With my daughter I was so small I work the same size small thongs the whole pregnancy! Nice.....

Love the ticker mummy- i think my baby is doing that to me often...along with sending some heart burn or back aches my way!

I try to do prenatals but end up taking them about every 3 days I think! Im bad at that too.

I do my Rhogam shot at 28 weeks also. Dont know if OH is rh neg or positive so I just get the shot. He is evil, and puts me through it unknowing if I need to or not! Asshole! I hate the shot in the butt. Nice.

I am so scared to have a baby and a c section. I have had only a 7 year old now for this long.....when we want to go somewhere we just get up and go and she is pretty self sufficient...and our princess who may be a bit spoiled. How is this going to go////and how am I going to bond with another child and love them as much as I do her? She's been my only baby for 7 years! I am freaking out about all this....and the guilt that I feel also. Sigh.

 

[Phantom710]

you guys make me feel awful :O

I've completely stopped taking my prenatals. LOL. But, I'm trying to eat fairly healthy and so far baby has not had any problems, so i feel safe. although i should go out and buy some more and start taking them again for the third trimester. hehe. I stopped somewhere around 15 weeks i think as well Kater.

undies-- wearing all my same ones, although have noticed if they are to high my belly rolls them down, and thongs/strings are so not comfortable anymore.

swimming- i love swimming while pregnant, but i'm horrible at going by myself i need a buddy, and my hubby isn't big on swimming. but it's the only time i feel not fat, and also like i'm doing some good, by exercising.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Phantom i have also stopped my prenatals so ur not alone lol xx
Ny- i feel this too and it makes me feel awful, it must be worse for you as like you say your little girl has been your baby for 7 Years!, Tyler has been mine for 3 and half and i worry all the time about how I'm ever going to love the baby as much as i do him, or what if he feels pushed out.... I couldn't handle that .... I spoke to alot of people with 2 children about it and they all worried about this too while pregnant , but they all say the same, you will just adapt and there will be enough love to go round and love them both equally x

 

[nypage1981]

Mummy- I hear this too that you love them each differently. Im worried about everyone paying so much attention to the baby and not her....I am sure I can give her the attention she needs and share them because I am aware of her feelings, but other family may not know to give her some special attention too and dont want her to feel bad. We will make it through some how!

 

[Phantom710]

Mummy & Nypage

so the only thing I can say to you two in regards to expecting baby #2 is from witnessing how NOT to go about it. Definately make them feel special, but overdoing it can cause problems. My SIL was worried about this and now each of them get gifts on the others birthday so they don't feel left out. Also, when #2 was growing (as babies do) out of their clothes and toys, baby #1 also got complete new wardrobes and toys. It ends up being pretty costly in the long run and then the older child gets even more put out if they DONT get something. BUT that's just my two cents. I'm sure you'll both do wonderful xx

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ny- yeh i worry about this too, its other people i worry about so me and OH have decided that in the 1st few weeks visitors should be limited to the days where tyler is at nursery only, that way he wont see people coming round fussing over the new baby etc cuz it would be bound to make him feel left out and im not having that, ikno i have enough love and attention to go round and im gonna make sure me and tyler still have our cuddles time and that he still gets his bedtime story time etc plus i feel quite lucky as hes really helpful and tells me all the time how hes going to help me look after the new baby .... hope this doesnt change when shes born haha!!

Our little baby number 1's will be fine when the number 2's come along x

Phantom- i see what your saying here and no i dont agree with that either hun, yeh if i am buying something as a treat for one then i will get for the other, but not for birthdays etc , its just a bit silly and they wont learn that way x
