does everyone get a strep b? i've heard people on hear mention it, but have no idea what it is or if i'm gonna get one?

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ive not got to get a strep B test..... i never got one in my 1st pregnancy and its not been mentioned again .........so i dont think its routine hun x

 

[Phantom710]

cool one less thing for me to have to plan. hehe

Did my birth plan officially last night, so i've got that out of the way.

have a small shopping list of baby stuff i still need to grab (nail clippers, nose sucker, etc.)

Then I think i'm set.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Eeeek! ..... Im starting 2 cups of RLT as from today, been drinking 1 cup from 32weeks and now i can start 2 from 34 i think.
Got the MW on friday & then the hospital next friday for bloods and Anti D jab again

 

[sam#3]

I saw the MW today for repeat bloods and she tried to work out cookies position but she changed about 6 times while she was having a feel i swear she actually does not sit still!!! Ive always had around 8lb babies and the mw said she doesnt think cookie will be as big as them but we shall see... 6 weeks is a long time in baby chub growth!!

I am really hoping that was my last blood test - i really really cant stand them

Seeing her again at 36 weeks where we will go through the birth plan and talk about where the pool is going etc.... exciting

 

[x-TyMa-x]

I agree sam i hate the bloods dreading them next week yuk!

Have you started drinking RLT yet sam?

 

[sam#3]

no i dont drink the tea but im going to start the capsules soon 2 a day then ill start the epo from 37 weeks.... it will all be as and when i remember

blood tests are the worst thing about being pg - FINGERS CROSSED that will be the last injection or needle i get this pregnancy!!!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Hmmmmm i read u can up your tea to 2 cups from 34weeks ...... but others say its still 1 cup untill around 36, do u think i shud wait till 36 to up it or will i be ok from now

its soooo confusing, My friend ended up having a section so she gave me some EPO capsules today.

 

[sam#3]

its not goint ot induce labour so i would drink 2 if you want to, all it does is help to tone your uterus.... it may bring on stronger braxton hicks but it wont induce labour

Phantom- actually, i've always heard it to be routine for a strep B, not sure though maybe its just routine in some clinics? I dont or have never had any reason why i'd need one more than anyone else, its just what my clinic does!

Mummy- how come you are having anti D right now? Here we do them at 28 weeks.....did you get one then too?

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Yeh hun here we get them at 28weeks then another at 34weeks, then depending on baby's blood group ... if its + then i get another after the birth.

 

[sam#3]

Morning all hows everyone feeling??

I am hoping the nesting is going to kick in soon its taking me so much to get motivated to do the housework lately!!!!!

 

[sam#3]

Have any of you tried the baby morphing programmes online?

I did one a min ago, the pic went a bit dodgy on one side but this is me and FOB morphed.....

[ay2808]

I've never thought of that! Might try it later. I've been feeling really good this week but must admit I'm a bit tired today tho.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Feeling ok, Back is painful still but eased slightly since yesterday.

Nesting- I got it terrible when i was pregnant with my son but this time ive not had it at all really ... infact sam if you find the motivation then please send some my way too!

 

[Phantom710]

hehe I need to start nesting too. It's the only way my house is gonna get ready for the baby. tbh i've been kinda waiting for it. LOL.

 

[nypage1981]

I could totally send you all some of my nesting...its INsane. I am not typically a very clean person so my OH is thinking of lost it. I kinda like it, everything is constantly clean as I can't even let some dishes on the counter for a few minutes without doing them! Although, I still dont want to do laundry. Wierd.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

^ Nicole send it my way! ........ Altho saying that im a bit of a clean freak anyway lol, My hoover is probably the most used thing in my house

 

[sam#3]

im the same my hoover & washing machine are overworked and underpaid!!

they are the only things i do still do though, fingers crossed ill want to get the toher stuff done around 37 weeks so that everything is fresh and clean - thats whats happened with the others - with #3 i was scrubbing the skirting boards at 41 weeks+ to try and get things moving!!!!!!!
