2010 Bumps & Flushes & Dimples

One i would defo recommend for nearer the time say 7 months point is "What to expect if you are breastfeeding and what if you cant" It was a bible for us in the end and would say the same whether you decide to BF or FF. I didnt agree with some of what she said/did but it was a mine of information for a beginner. We had others too and found some too strict and some too waffley. Our pregnancy stuff as we went along we did via weekly email from Emmas Diary and the usual preggo mags, word of warning though they do recycle the info between them all so you can pay a fortune for articles you read in another mag a few months earlier! All the first time Mums are welcome to ask me anything, have no secrets about pregnancy Im not willing to share, will even answer birth questions and be honest/blunt

Thanks moggymay! You may just regret that with the random questions I'm likely to come up with! (I like to know exactly what to expect etc, so the may be a little too detailed... apologies in advance!!).

 

[moggymay]

If you want to ask will do my best to answer - gulp! Maybe the other mummies will help me out too?

I'm also happy to answer any questions for you 1st time mums..... if i have the answer of course

I wouldnt worry about not having MS as not everybody has it.....all i had last time was a feeling of queasiness in the morning between 6-9 weeks...and i basically had to have something to eat before i left the house int he morning and a mid morning snack if the feeling came over me again.
Ive read people having a horrible time with it so i count myself lucky last time and hope im the same again.

Thanks Penguin for the advice. Thanks also Moggymay. It's so nice being able to ask people with kids already questions.

I'm glad to know no MS isn't a bad thing. Maybe I should just be happy about it! My bbs are really tender today and that's made me really happy!! lol xx

Still no real symptoms for me either. It's weird...you start to wonder "Am I REALLY pregnant?" And then dig up the old HPT to make sure. Well I do anyway...every few days I take them out...look at the two lines and then put them away. I think I am going crazy!

But my two best friends had babies in 2008 and one of them was sick all the way through and had to take prescribed pills for MS...and the other was never once sick...both have very healthy baby girls! So I don't think the MS has anything to do with it...but it's nice to have symptoms. I just still have the sore BBs and lack of appetite...I guess that's because a lot of food looks gross to me right now. And of course no period...today I am 12 days late for my period...the longest I have even been late is 16 days...and that's when my body was trying to regulate itself after I stopped the pill a couple years ago.

Getting really antsy for an APP. with Someone!!

Hello ladies - I have just been catching up, didn't think I'd been offline for that long

Welcome moggymay and happy new years to you all!

I had a lovely evening in the end - we went to the in-laws and they live in a cosy little village - unfortunately news of our little bundle to be seems to have gotten around their village (I can understand MIL being excited but we didn't want other people knowing yet.....) but it made things easier as everyone was intent on looking after me lol.

Fun evening with lots of new people, happy with my Fruitiser (apple and dragonfruit flavour - strongly recommend!) and managed to see the bongs out as I'd had an afternoon nap

Been out shopping and having nice time with hubby the last day or so, before back to work and reality on Monday, booo!!!

Smells are sending me funny at the moment - something in the fridge made me heave before had to run out (nothing gone off, think it was DHs strong cheese!!) and I keep randomly smelling garlic where there is none

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.....been pram browsing in mamas and papas / mothercare today and now just sitting tight til that 12 week scan!

Big hugs and best wishes for 2010!

[Fish&Chips]

It is quiet isn't it? We took our tree down today and like you, we now have our lovely big bay window back! I feel happy that Christmas is over, probably for the same reason I did last year. I knew that it was the beginning of the year in which I was getting married. Hopefully this is the beginning of the year that we have our first kiddie!

Oh and I totally know what you mean about M&S bras as well!! x

 

[Jetters]

Hello lovely people,

Just a quick pop in to say Happy New Year! I've got no internet, tv, or WATER in my bloody flat so I'm camping at my nans for a while till it all comes back.

Hope everyone's ok! x

 

[Fish&Chips]

Hi Jetters! Happy New Year to you too x

 

[char63]

We really should take our tree down!! We were supposed to do it today, but had to do a big food shop and when we got back, I was too tired. Wouldn't let OH do it on his own cos he wont pack it up properly, so I guess it will have to wait. Need the space tho, DS toys r taking over!!

 

[costgang]

i hear you with kids toys taking over,we look a bit like a toys r us shop, is it just me or is january completely crap, its so cold and miserable

 

[char63]

No, its not just you, January is cold and miserable, as is February. Roll on April.

 

[costgang]

yay april, got 2 big birthdays, lauren is 13 omg!!! where did that come from and oh will be 30, old git, dont know what to get him? any ideas? was thinking of a ps3, im completely stumped

 

[penguin77]

I'm usually not againt January but i hate it this year as i go back to work in less than 3 weeks
One consolation...if all goes well i'll be off on leave again in 7 months...

costgang- I'm have no imagination and hopeless when it comes to suprise pressies.....hope someone else can help.......oh- maybe a man bag so he can carry all the extra nappies when the LO arries


xx

 

[costgang]

penguin- def no to the bag idea,his bro has got one and he rips the piss out of him,

 

[penguin77]

dont blame you...my hubby wouldnt have one either and i know he would look daft with one.....PS3 sounds cool if he's into games......will he have time one no4 is here though
Or maybe one of those 'experience days' vouchers......like drive a ferrari or something...iykwim.

[penguin77]
