[bazzb]

Hey ladies
Woke up this am to light bleeding, cramps and a headache!
So yay 28 day cycle!!!!

 

[A1983]

Yey!!!! Xx

 

[mannymoo]

Great news bazz. Now you can really get down to ttc. So excited for you!

83 try pineapple. Even though I was induced I had pineapple a few days before and got major bh contractions.

 

[A1983]

I've been having uncomfortable bh for 2 days now-worse at night. No cramping though...and yes eating pineapple but will up it to daily! Thanks

 

[bazzb]

Good luck love!

 

[mannymoo]

Getting exciting. Baby's arrival must be imminent. Thinking of you. X

 

[starry83]

So happy for your cycle being back to normal bazz!!! Bet you are so relieved

1983 - it won't be long I am sure. I know its probably easier said than done but try and enjoy these final last few days because in a short while (compared to the 9 months of pregnancy!) you will be a mummy!!! How exciting.

Hope everyone is well x

 

[bazzb]

Anymore babies yet????

 

[mannymoo]

Surely there must be a new addition by now?!? A1983 thinking of you. Hope all going smoothly!

 

[A1983]

As in my little monkey-nope!! He's still in there ladies! 5 days over now, sweep booked for Sunday morning! Off to the outdoor swimming pool today to chill and rest my poor achey toes!

Bazz did your period come and go as it should?

Mrs and Manny-are you bfing? If so any tips? Only the ladies on another post on here have really struggled bless them and most id say now ff. Obviously id LOVE to bf and will persevere, but im sure these ladies said the same! I've bought an electrical breast pump, nipple cream and shields, ice and heat pack for engorgement and let down/flow...just hope with all this and support from bfing experts ill be ok!

How is everyone doing? :-D

 

[starry83]

Ah 1983 - baby will be here soon I am sure. He just loves his home so much! Have a nice day at the outdoor swimming pool

Angel, how are you getting on?? I have PUPPPS which is a rash on my stretch marks, no harm to be or baby but it itches like mad!!!

Hope everyone else is well and the new mummies are settling in with their little ones! x

 

[mannymoo]

A1983 I am bf'ing and so far it has been going great. The midwife that helped deliver josh insisted that I put him on the boob when he was about 20 minutes old (lots of people wait several hours) and he took to it straight away. I definitely recommend that. The only thing I've struggled with is his cluster feeding in the evening. I can sometimes nurse him from 17h30 to 20h30 straight!! But apparently it is totally normal so just make sure you've got a comfy chair and someone you can order around for a cup of tea (sometimes wine!!) in the evenings. Also, I would get terribly concerned when he showed signs of being crampy quite often ( arching back, getting flustered, pulling on nipple etc). Don't worry about it - totally normal too. Rather stay off all of the cramp meds like infacol etc. Unless he is crying for hours at a time, it really is normal. Can't wait to hear how it all goes. It is such an exciting time.

Starry sorry about the rash. Could it be from all the heat?

Ladies can we have some bump pics???

Bazz where are you now in your cycle?

 

[bazzb]

5 days over due! Come on baby

I'm on cd 5 and AF is pretty much gone
She did kick my but on Tuesday with severe cramping and heavy bleeding but other than that it wasn't bad!

Hoping for another normal cycle

 

[mannymoo]

That's great bazz. Now that it seems to be normal again, you should try SMEP. It worked for me... Twice! Good luck. X

 

[bazzb]

Gonna just ntnp this cycle as we will be on vacation back home and staying with family!
So not focussing on ttc this cycle.

Happy Friday everyone!!!

 

[starry83]

Thats good to get a bit of bf'ing advice Manny. I will try to encourage it as soon as possible with my little one too if that helped. Ha ha, like the sound of a wine in the evenings, god how I have missed it! Yeah it could be the heat, I slept with a cold wet flannel on my tummy all last night and that really helped.

Bazz happy ntnp cycle, it will do you so much good to enjoy your holiday and just relax, you never know this could be the month!

Here is my latest bump pic...

 

[mannymoo]

Wow! Amazing bump starry. It looks like baby hasn't dropped yet... But that could also be the photo. Congrats on reaching term yesterday. I guess baby could come any day now. Hope the rash gets better now that its cooling down a bit.

Bazz happy vacationing!!

1983 ~ 5 days over...come on LO, no more being shy!

Starry ~ What a darling bump! My friend had PUPPs, not fun :/ I think she often too quick, brisk oatmeal baths to help alleviate the itch. We're almost there!

Manny ~ Great tips on BFing. I hadn't heard of cluster feeding...Keep the pointers coming. Any new pics of Joshua?

Bazz ~ Yay for normal cycle. Sorry about the cramps, surely it was a good flushing your body needed Nice of you and DH to take the ntnp approach this month...I'm still sending your way!

AFM ~ I'll post a bump pic shortly. At my Dr appointment Monday I was 1.5cm, but cervix was still posterior. I know I can walk around forever dilated, but wouldn't mind if he wanted to come early (preferably around 38 weeks) its so hot out...wishful thinking. This boy isn't budging! This Monday is my growth scan...Dr says I'm measuring average, but will confirm with the us.

Happy Friday!

 

[A1983]

Ahh thanks Manny that's brilliant advice-and well done you for doing so well with bfing! Pool was lovely today my little monkey is soooo active still too-don't know how he manages with such little room! Here is bump today and if you look closely you'll see a teeny bump to left of belly button-that's his foot sticking out!

Ahh that's great Bazz, rest and relax def and enjoy your hols!!

Gorgeous bump starry, sorry about the itching-have you been piling on the creams, im forever putting cream on and it stops any itching I do have...

Bazz id love a growth scan just cos im convinced im hiding a 12lb baby in there ha ha-my length meaning he's tucked away a bit more! :-/ but all I can do is wait and hope!! Eurrgghh feel sick-just downed a load of rlt...

 

[A1983]

Ok-twice tonight now ive felt wet down there-wiped with tissue first time and it covered most of a square of kitchen roll and was sticky...so not watery or sweet smelling. The second time just now im lying on my side and feel a little wet/gush-as if semen leaking-felt with fingers and (I have to be detailed here!) It was like very loose egg whites-so vaginal secretions when aroused and again quite a bit when wiped? Lots of bh's but thats nothing new...and baby extremely active the last couple if hours during this. Phoned l&d and she thought it sounded like the show? Ie plug? And to call back if I got any gushes....so its stretchy/liquidy, copious, clear...any ideas?*
