2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Forums New posts
Hey all. Feeling a bit nicer after 2 nights back in my own bed but more like a beached whale every day! I don't seem to be gaining much on my arse or legs though which is nice.

Next mw appointment is Thursday of next week and I'll have the rhogam shot then.
 
Okay may be a stupid question but Rhogan shot is that your anti-D if you are negative blood group?

If so I had mine with my son and it didn't hurt at all and had no side effects from it and I am booked in for one this time at 28 weeks :thumbup:
 
That's the one Twag. It sucks to be negative, doesn't it?
 
It does one more thing to worry about :wacko: luckily with my DS I only needed the one jab at 28 weeks as he is also B Neg the same as me :thumbup:
 
Hi can I join? Im due 27th October baby number 1 :) congratulations to everyone :) xxx
 
Just to add to the previous kick counting question..

My midwives said if i noticed baby wasnt following his normal pattern i.e moving a lot between 9-11 at night THEN i could do a movement count.. Looking for six movements over a two hour window. She also encouraged me to drink something sugary to get the babe moving incase he was sleeping. She said if i was worried and/or didnt get six then to page
 
How's everyone going? I had the 2hr glucose test on Monday and haven't heard anything so I assume all is good?? I hope so anyway! Officially hitting the 'beached whale' stage, rolling over in bed is getting hard and I just feel big and. Am very happy to have made it this far without incident as with my first son I went into labour at 27 weeks and was in hospital on bed rest until he was born at 35 weeks so it's a stressful milestone for me.

Oh I don't know but I would have to assume no news is good news?? Did they say when you should expect to hear?

I know what you mean, rolling over is bad! I get popping sensation in the belly if I'm not careful!

I imagine it must be super stressful at this time given your previous experience hun :hugs: :hugs:
 
Has anyone else started lactating? I'll be 28 weeks tomorrow with my first, and discovered last night that I have, in fact, started to lactate. Only when I squeeze them, though. Also, I thought it was supposed to be clear or yellowish at first, but mine is white and liquidy, just like cow's milk.

I've had this for a couple of weeks now! It began as like a crust on my nipple, but has since progressed onto actual liquid leaking! Most of the time, it's only if I squeeze them, but I've noticed a few times that they've just leaked all over me! :blush:
 
I just have the crust. It's been there for a few weeks now.
 
I'm leaking bad haha. Wet patches on my top kinda bad! Thank god for breast pads!

Be careful squeezing them.. This can actually induce labour

Thanks for your concern. I have researched this, and also talked to my doctor. It can possibly induce labor if you're close to going into labor naturally anyway, but it's incredibly unlikely to make you go into pre-term labor before your body is ready. My doctor brings up the point that pregnant women breastfeed their older children throughout pregnancy without fear of going into early labor. Also, you'd have to be squeezing and stimulating them for at least like 10 minutes at a time. (Unless you're prone to pre-term labor or have a hormonal imbalance (which you and your doctor would probably know about). In that case, you should probably not be playing with your boobs.)

That said, I only squeezed them to confirm that the weird crusty white stuff I found on them while taking a shower was indeed milk and not something else. This being my first kid, and me being someone who had inverted nipples before getting them pierced to correct the problem, and has always been afraid I wouldn't be able to breast feed, I find the thought that my boobs appear to actually be doing something RIGHT for a change to be refreshing. :haha:
 
OK, so weird question. My boobs grew a little the first like 2 months of pregnancy. My nipples are definitely bigger, but I feel like my boobs haven't gotten bigger since then. They are basically the same size from before I got pregnant. Should I be concerned? I'm really afraid I'm not going to lactate and won't be able to breastfeed :(

Nope... Some women dont grow until their milk comes in, which wont happen until 2-3 days after birth
