I'm in Aus just across the ditch from you - but I know NZ well. We're frequent visitors.
 
Hello ladies, I've been absent from here for quite a while, been so busy and not had the time. I have read through the last couple of pages but can't read through it all. I hope everybody is well and your pregnancies are all going great!

I agree, this heat is insane. My poor DD was so hot last night, nothing would cool her down. Had to give her a cold bath on the end. I'm also feeling hot and bothered, just grateful we are due some rain today. I think I will go and stand out in it to cool down lol!

Bit of a pointless post ladies, but thought I would jump back into the conversation :) xx

Thank you for this, it is really reassuring. Hopefully I can control it easily with diet & monitoring then! I'm waiting on a call from the specialist midwife. I think they run clinics on Tuesday's so I'm not sure if I eat as normal until then or start being cautious now. I'm starting to be more careful of my meals, but struggling with snacks quite a bit.

Good luck for today Tinks! Sending good vibes xxx

Tmi time.. Is anyone else, um, leaking?? I've noticed it a few times, but last night was just ridiculous! I woke up with dried milk all over my nipple, down my boob & even on my hand! :haha: Man, just when I thought pregnancy couldn't get any sexier?! Haha. Oliver is currently going crazy right now! He does this, I call DH in & he stops. Cheeky boy.
 
Good luck today tink!


Just drank the sugary glucose drink. Blood draw in an hour ! Ugh I've been awake for two hours already and starving- can't wait to eat lol

I'll get results within a week.... Send positive vibes girls! So happy I am 26+1 today. I had a bleed at 24+4 (cause not determined) so each week is such a blessing to still be pregnant. I'm a nervous wreck lately. Bed rest and no sex (who wants that now anyway? Lol!) was ordered until july 16 which is my next level 2 ultrasound.

Hope all u ladies have a great day and remember- drink water and do ur kegels!

If you only failed by .5 i think you should be able to manage it. Just start healthier now. The sooner the better.

I know she packs her lunch every say just with tons of snacks. Banana and peanut butter, whole grain crackers and cheese, strawberries and grapes, celery and peanut butter, hummus and veggies.

Her test was done at 27 weeks and by 36 she went back and they told her to quit testing so much and they are aiming for natural delivery.
 
No milk here, yet! This is my first pregnancy (well, first time making it out of 1st tri, third pregnancy technically). I do get weird white material in the little ridges on my nipples though, but it just looks like shed skin cells (sorry for the visual haha). It doesn't look like it was ever wet or anything. But last night we were laying in bed, and hubs reached over and grabbed my boob and goes, "WOAH! Your nipples are HUGE!"

:dohh:

Yeah, they're like 3 times bigger than they used to be. I had to take my nipple piercings out because they were really starting to hurt! That was back around 16 weeks or so. A few days ago, I finally had to take out my navel piercing because it was getting really irritated from stretching. I'm down to 7 piercings now, when I had 14 this time last year! Hubs jokes that I'm "so vanilla" now. :haha:
 
I don't have any milk either :shrug: but I also get what you described GP and I did with DS which I think is a small amount of colustrum that comes out but not enough to make anything wet etc :nope:
 
I got this today. I'm so excited to get some sleep tonight. :haha:

Hello all! I usually post on the 35+ forum. I actually didn't realize these due date groups existed until someone mentioned it on the other forum. I'm 39 and my husband is 32. We've been together for 9 years; it took us a long time to decide to have a baby (or rather it took me a long time to decide :) ). Luckily, we didn't have any problems conceiving, and the pregnancy has been textbook so far. I'm having a girl, our first, and she is due on October 14. I thought it might be a good idea to hang out here, since many of you must be going through the same things that I am going through, and it's a nice way to find out about what to expect.
 
Welcome StaceyM :)

I haven't had any leakage yet, but I'm sure it won't be long! I can't remember exactly when it started with DD but I'm sure it was around 30 something weeks!

So I haven't had a midwife appt since my booking in, because foolishly I assumed that you didn't have a 16 week one in your second pregnancy! Silly I know. Anyway, I've tried to book but midwife isn't in till Monday. Do you ladies know if I need to get my 28 week bloods done before or after I see her? I am currently 27 weeks today. Should I try and get them done tomorrow??x
 
Welcome Stacey! We have the same due date :D Nice to have you join us!

I feel rather special with my leakage :haha: If it carries on, I might have to invest in some breast pads!

I've got my nursery furniture being delivered tomorrow. Hurrah! Not that the room is even remotely ready yet, but at least we have our furniture.
 
Thanks ladies
I wanted to update you all. Basically they said a lymph node in my armpit is "puffy" but doesn't worry them. They also looked at the breast tissue in both breasts and said they look the same other than the swollen puffy lymph node in my left armpit. She said there is really nothing I can do. Typically they would recommend ibuprofen for the pain but since I'm pregnant I can't have that.

She then told me unless anything new comes up I don't have to return until I'm 40! ( I'm currently 25)
 
Charmed. I had my Diabetes consultation on Tuesday. I test 4 times a day. When I first wake up before I eat or drink anything, then 2 hours after each meal. I can have my snack after I test. Mix protein with each meal/ snack. It helps slow down the release of sugars into your blood. Everyone of my results have been great. I'm already cheating and still getting good numbers. I have to give my results to my consultant every Sunday night so they can review them and tell me what needs to be changed up for the week if there were any issues with my numbers.
 
Thats awesome Tink!

I've been leaking for ages haha. The other night was terrible I had horrific heartburn and ended up vomitting from the pain and hubby says to me "ummmm.....ur boobs" and I realized my top was totally soaked. Mostly its just a little bit though lol
 
I had my one hour GD test today. I didn't realize they tested more stuff than just the GD. They took 4 vials of blood, and my lower arm was hurting for awhile afterward. The "soda" wasn't too bad and I didn't feel crappy or anything. They have probably already begun analyzing the blood, and I haven't heard anything so there shouldn't be any problems. My medical group is really fast about that sort of thing.

I'm 27 weeks today. My stomach has been feeling really "full" the past week or so. Sort of like if you have a big meal and need to walk it off? It's not my "stomach" though, but just my whole abdomen. I suppose it's normal, but it's uncomfortable and annoying. My husband and I walk about half an hour a day. I just want to walk all the time. It helps but not enough. Anyone else dealing with this? My abdomen now feels super hard all the time. His kicks are visible now, but I haven't been able to get a video yet.
