How exciting! I'm already checking out and making mental notes of nearby parks...although none so far have an elephant slide in them ...must be a French thing like strange pregnancy timings *runs and hides*

Yes but are you really sure?

I did a digi just this morning and it said 'pregnant 30-32 weeks' so I'm pretty sure

 

[kit_cat]

Trin..sorry about your voms and poops...little Tori has certainly challenged you with this pregnancy eh? Hope you feel better Nearly there

 

[HollyMonkey]

How is the UK and US pregnancy different from the Frog one? There's no way I'm 8 months gone if baby is due on the 9th may so I don't understand Addie's and Sarachka's calendars!!

 

[HollyMonkey]

Bethany..hope your trip out today isn't too tiring and you manage to get yourself a good next read

It was quite tiring by the end because I had to do lots of lifting of Holly onto swings and things, and lots of walking, and I was WEARING MY CONVERSE for the first time since last summer but theyr'e not the best pregnancy long distance walking shoes, being so thin soled, and my back hurt by the end. Plus the pushchair was extra heavy on the way home since I had a big flagon of Linseed oil for the nursery floor and a pot of tile cement on it that I picked up en route home But if my back hurts it goes as soon as I sit down so clearly a muscular thing, and probably does me good to make it hurt just a tad in order to strengthen it

I got a book called Bianca come il latte, Rossa come il sangue (White like milk, red like blood) and have no idea whether it's good or not but I like the cover and I always judge books by their covers

freya has never slept well. she used to sleep (for 2 weeks)from 11-5 then up for the day which was the best shes ever done.before that it was much the same as it is now.

the past week if i add up how much shes slept between the hours of 11-6 its more like 1hr or 2 per night i think im losing the will to live!

Oh Clare..I'm sorry you're finding things so tough but I am sure they will get better. Do you do a full bedtime routine etc before you put Freya down for the night? Judging by her weight gain, she's a hungry girl. Does she put on like 1lb per week? That's what it seems like. She now weighs the same as Cara! That said, my nephew weighed 21lbs at 3 months old and had to wear 2yr old clothes for the width with massive turn ups on the sleeves and legs

Have you tried other things than feeding her at night? She might just be in the habit of waking and being fed, rather than actually needing to be fed? I'm just trying to think of something that might help a bit

its not that shes waking up shes just not going to sleep

people can shoot me down for this i dont care but shes going in her room tonight and im going to do controed crying from now on before i abandon her

Hey..no one wants to shoot you down..I understand sleep deprivation and how the world is a dark and gloomy place when you're in the thick of it.

Sometimes even now when I put Cara down for the evening, she cries. I know that if I leave her alone, she will settle herself. In the early months, I used to put her down, leave her for a few minutes, if she was still crying I'd go in, stroke her head, reassure her etc (I wouldn't pick her up) then leave again. Sometimes I'd have to do this 3, 4 or 5 times but eventually she'd go off to sleep until the next feed. It worked but I had to be quite strong minded about not picking her up or feeding her when I knew she had just been fed.

There is nothing wrong with leaving them to cry as long as its not a cry for a reason etc, if you pick them up when they cry all the time then they will cry all the time lol. Sometimes i put James down, bathed fed happy etc, and when he realises oh crap its bedtime he has a little cry (i say cry he just makes noise, but babies all cry differently) and il creep by the door check he is fine and leave him unless he really gets unsettled, but this only happens when hes not himself, but he does go off and is fine, its an attention thing i think, babies like to see whats going on whos about etc, like you Kit after a few minutes il go in and sing n hell settle again, i know it sounds daft Clare but have you tried putting music on or the hoover? lol

My BF had an actual CD of 'white noise' for babies Don't know if it worked but it must have driven them mad after a while, endless lawn mowers and aeroplanes and washing machines all night

Clare I would never shoot you down for letting her cry- I am a great fan of not only controlled but uncontrolled crying!!

Hello everyone
On the lurker for 5 mins til Toine comes oyt of cricket and then back to work for patients. Interwebs have been poofucks and I couldn't get on last night and this morning

Couldn't sleep again last night, more diarrhoea and vomiting this morning not fun. Been getting very uncomfortable bh's this afternoon but I think it's dehydration and the heat

Will try catch up at home

Yes that will be the heat causing BH's Trin- nothing to do with you being due to have a baby I always get Braxton Hicks in hot weather

 

[HollyMonkey]

Crunch bunch- Holly got her first tooth at 10 months, then they all appeared at once. I think late teethers are a blessing because they deal with it better when they're older, they have a more philosophical perspective on the matter

 

[HollyMonkey]

NATE IS NOMOLICIOUS!!

Spam McSpamMonkey is off to do some knitting now....

[Sarachka]

Morning folks, hope you all slept fabbodabbolously

I am 6 and a half months pregnant today!

Off to get routine toxo and wee protein test this morning- 45min walk starting with a very long steep hill with a heavy pushchair, fun fun fun! Oh well, keeps me super fit! Then I may walk to the bus stop and get a bus to town to the International bookshop to get my next Italian read

Addie I didn't answer because I don't know- I'm afraid twins and triplets are beyond my competence! I think you can be dilated 1cm for ages without consequence, but is the cervix measurement 1.7mm? That's mega short if it is so I don't know!!

B do u mean ur almost 8 months bc I'm 6 1/2 months preg at 26 weeks or does it work different in France??

Hope u have a great day today wish I could walk around like u but this summer the girls and I will be walking around the parks

How is the UK and US pregnancy different from the Frog one? There's no way I'm 8 months gone if baby is due on the 9th may so I don't understand Addie's and Sarachka's calendars!!

Yeah I'm a bit weary of figuring out what I am in months. I figure if I'm due May 6th then on March 6th I'll be 7 calendar months pregnant.

Yes that will be the heat causing BH's Trin- nothing to do with you being due to have a baby I always get Braxton Hicks in hot weather

39* heat + 250ml water and a can of coke + vomiting and diarrhoea = dehydration

Dehydration = irritable uterus

Irritable uterus = lots of braxton hicks (that don't follow a regular pattern)

 

[TrinityMom]

He did seem happy

So anyone know the answer to my question. My friend is 27 weeks pregnant with triplets she is 1 cm dilated and her cervix shortened to 1.7 now. When you begin to dilate how long till you go into labour. She is on medication to try and stop it now.

COuldn't get on last night to answer. Being at 1 cm is really common with triplets or subsequent pregnancies. With a 2nd or 3rd pregnancy you can be at 2-3cm and it doesnt mean labour has started. She will be on meds, probably bedrest and if they're really worried they'll put a stitch in. She'll also be given steroid injections

That makes perfect sense because if you count from what you have left, you have 9 weeks left which is just over 2 months. It's those stupid 2 weeks they add on at the beginning of pregnancy where you AREN'T PREGNANT that confuse everyone

Loving all the pics of the first turtle hatchlings...they are SO cute and just TOO DAMN BIG!!!
