I think that we will use the Medela bottles again just because we have a Medela pump and those bottles fit right into the pump. My daughter had no issues with them so fingers crossed this little boy will be just as cooperative.

I was so worried after my scan that I was going to feel some gender disappointment, and I can honestly say it is the exact opposite. I didn’t even believe I could have this much room in my heart to love another baby and now that we’ve found out it’s a boy, it’s just unwinding so beautifully. I am already so in love with him and just can’t get over how perfect he is! Every time I feel him kick or twist around I just fall so much MORE in love. Ugh ladies, I’m sorry for the sappy long post!
 
Yay! Congrats on the boys!

@BellaRosa8302 tjey didn’t say directly but said to read my booklet about placenta previa and it says in there no rumpy pumpy! Can’t be arsed anyway so fine with me!
 
I've been gone for a few weeks and have so much to catch up on! Congrats on finding out genders! I get to find out next Thursday and can't wait! Send me some girl dust bc I really need some more estrogen in this house lol.

Do any of you know much about the mucus plug? I had a preterm water break/delivery last pregnancy and have been on progesterone shots for the past few weeks bc of it. I lost a big chunk of my mucus plug last night and all my friends keep talking about it "incompetent cervix" so I'm nervous. I'm waiting on a call back from my doctor to see if they want to check my cervix before my appointment next week. If I hadn't had my water break at 36 weeks last time I wouldn't be worried bc I know the mucus plug can regrow, but it seemed like a pretty big chunk.
 
I’ve heard it can regrow but I think your right to talk to your dr if it was a larger chunk and you had issues last time. X
 
I've def had bits and pieces come out, but like Mummy said, I'd talk to your dr if it's been an issue in the past <3
 
Well they're wanting me to go in tomorrow morning just be sure my cervix isn't shortening! Even if it's nothing I'm glad to know my doctor is keeping a close watch on things.
 
It’s always better to be safe than sorry so it’s great they will check you over x
 
So I'm going to a specialist on Wednesday! My cervix isn't opened but its thinned out to 2cm. My doctor said generally a 2 is considered borderline and they dont worry too much about it, but with my history of preterm delivery he says it might be pointing to a weak cervix. He also said it could more than likely be nothing at all but he doesn't want to take chances. I have orders to stop exercising and no intercourse. I feel bad for dh but he'll survive lol. Guess we'll see what the specialist has to say!
 
Anyone dealing with Braxton Hicks? I had Irritable Uterus last pregnancy starting at 19 weeks. I would have times when I would get "stuck" in a contraction for 20 minutes or more. Incredibly uncomfortable. They monitored my cervix length to make sure it wasn't causing dilation. I don't think I have that right now, but I find every morning when I wake up having to go to the bathroom (like around 4 am) I am stuck in a contraction and it takes a while for it to release. Then my uterus is sore for a little while, making me thankful I can stay in bed longer. I am wondering if it is caused by my full bladder pushing on it? Have any of you experienced this? I'm having very few BH throughout the week, but this has been consistent every morning for the last several days.
 
Hope your appointment goes well on Wednesday Da Tucker !

I’ve been getting BH too. Usually when walking and if I need a wee! it seems to pass pretty quickly although it’s getting kinda uncomfortable at times! I didn’t give it much thought until now but maybe it is because we have a full bladder. Maybe speak to your MW and see what she thinks
 
Arghh I’ve come down with laryngitis !! My throat is on fire and really sore ! My immune system has been really bad this pregnancy !

Any tips ? I’ve done all the usual things but it’s just not helping ! It’s probably viral as I’ve had a cold too and DDs have been Sick with a vomiting bug ! Seriously hope I don’t get that too

It’s really bad this morning Feel like my throat is closing over and I’ve got this really irritating dry cough !

Yes ive been getting BH from about 12 weeks! Nothing uncomfortable really just goes hard and heavy. Happened last time too from really early on. Sometimes if I’ve overdone it, sometimes for no reason at all it seems.

I’ve had a chesty cough and sore throat the last week, been resting and hitting the ginger and garlic hard! Also lots of vitamin C in the form of Asorbic Acid - really boosts your system! Feeling much better today but not quite, hopefully another 24hrs of looking after myself.

This is so interesting because my last pregnancy it happened every time I took a walk for exercise. I wonder if a full bladder and walking are common triggers.
 
Ugh to all the sickness. My immune system has been very low this pregnancy, too, and I've been getting every bug that comes into my house and staying sick longer than anyone else who gets it. Not the usual for me. I hope you all feel better soon!
