Mrs bump-sorry to hear you are worried, hopefully now you know early lots can be done to help you. Talk to a lactation consultant because you can prepare for bf early, start expressing before hand etc make sure you get the right pump for you, its hard but you can combI feed if needed and keep up your supply until bsby is strong enough on it's own. Huge hugs!

meluse-good luck today x

Afm- feeling horrible, got sinusitis and laryngitis and they won't let me take anything. Ive been ill for 2 weeks hateso the doc has said I need to take next week off work. Not good at taking time off tbh. My hubby is away this week too so hard work with my dd feeling sorry for myself tbh@

that is awful, if your sinusitis is not clearing after two weeks it could be an infection would you not need some antibiotics to clear it you poor thing when I suffer with it and it is always worse when pregnant

 

[CertainTurton]

Thank you celtic, I agree but the doc wouldn't if it's not better in another 3/4 days i will go back. Im very prone to it too.

yes do and tell him he is not the one dealing with the pain and also remind him how infections left untreated are not good when pregnant but I hope you feel much better soon

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Certain please monitor your temp very carefully. I too am very prone to sinusitis and the first time I got it my temp got so high I hallucinated and had to be put in hospital on an antibiotic drip. I had it in this pregnancy and the nurse I saw, no doctors are ever seen at my surgery, gave me a prescription but advised me to only get it filled if my temp got too high. Luckily for me it didn't, although it was horribly painful. You totally have my sympathy, it sucks.

 

[littlesteph]

anyone else feel like they could sleep all day?
still feeling like that, my manager said yesterday that I was looking very pale and might have low iron, haven't had my blood test results back yet so would have thought if they were low I would have had a phone call by now. I see my midwife at the end of the month so might mention to her about maybe having low iron, I have low blood pressure but would not have thought that would effect me being so tired, just my dizzy spells.

also could I get my date changed to the 22nd please.

littlesteph, I sometimes feel like I'm coming out of the foggy exhaustion phase, but other days I feel like I cannot stay awake. I often nap 2 or 3 times a day, or take a solid 2 hour snooze around noon.

Supposedly the fatigue gets better as the placenta takes over, but I'm thinking that the combination of growing a human and taking care of the other two humans that I've already popped out is just exhausting.

I'm trying to take my prenatal daily and I take a b-complex in the morning to combat lingering morning sickness. I don't even remember what it feels like to have energy!

 

[littlesteph]

I usually nap 2 to 3 times in the day when I don't have work, and only if my boys nap as well, some days are a real struggle, i'm surprised i'm still awake now as have not napped, did have work though but the boys have been in bed about an hour, so might shower and go to bed myself in a bit.
can't wait to have a day where don't feel the need to nap.

Afm i had my scan and got moved forward a week so new dd is 14th nov if someone could move me up please?
Im on th fb page now as couldnt get on here fr a while but i much prefer this page lol. Is anyone else staying team yellow? Xx

 

[Embo78]

Hey catmummy. We're due date buddies and we're staying team yellow too It's going to be hard for me when everyone else starts going to their gender scans so us team yellows need to stick together I'm such an impatient person so I've got DH staying strong for both of us!!

 

[MissyMojo]

team yellow here too.

I'm just ticking along, i dont get onto the pc much with oh away, so Im tending to be in FB group a bit more,
I have my NT scan tomorrow morning, feel a bit sad that everyone else will see bubs before OH but he's on exercise with no data signal in the middle of Alberta in canada, x
Im mostly over my nausea but appetite hasnt really returned, and most food aversions are still in place.

 

[Embo78]

Missy have you always stayed team yellow with your pregnancies. Do you ever get tempted at the scans?
This is my first time and it's soooo hard! I have to keep reminding myself how amazing it will be when my dh tells me what we've had when I give birth. This is our last pregnancy and my last chance to be team yellow

 

[MissyMojo]

yeah we were team yellow with previous pregnancies, its amazing to hear it from OH and its save the fun of spoiling them with gender orientated clothing til after the birth nothing better and a shopping spree at the end

 

[Tricks26]

Hi all,

Feeling awful such bad headaches and I can't get through the day without sleeping which is so hard working full time, when will I feel human again
Ho you guys are all ok xxx
Will be on team Yellow as I enjoy the surprise but as this pregnancy is do different to my other one I think this is a boy !!! Xxxx

 

[aley28]

We are definitely finding out the gender this time. I wanted to do team yellow with both of my last pregnancies, but DH just HAD to know This time I am wanting to give myself time to accept that I'll not ever have a daughter, and I don't want to try to accept that in the extremely hormonal days following birth. This is our last baby, and I'm way too convinced that its a girl (trying not to be, but...), so if its a boy, I'll likely be shocked and sad.

 

[sweetgirl75]

Happy Mother's Day too all moms and expecting moms hope you have a relaxing and wonderful day.

 

[crazycatlady5]

For those of you finding out if it's a boy or girl - do any of you feel like you're in the minority?

Before I got pregnant people kept talking about how "everyone" finds out these days.... But I really do NOT find that. I feel like I'm one of the few I know finding out, I'm not referring to here on bnb obviously, as we are pregnant women. But in my everyday life. I also feel like so many people who ask if I'm finding out then kind of judge me for wanting to find out. I feel such a negative reaction (again - not at all here on bnb, but in my everyday life). Has anyone else experienced this?

 

[Embo78]

Crazycatlady it's been the opposite for me. All my friends/family are trying to pressure me to find out and think I'm really strange for staying team yellow

At the end of the day it's an individual choice and absolutely nothing to do with anyone else. That's awful that you feel judged for making your choice.

 

[littlesteph]

I don't think i'll be staying team yellow, i'm getting to impatient, I found out with my boys. kinda hoping for a girl this time, the more I think about it the more I think its going to be a boy. its our last so would love to have a girl this time round, but as long as baby arrives safely into the world i'm happy.
