Does your hospital not supply formula?

I got a nap

Emma, yes I was sick the whole time with Kaiden as well. You poor thing being stuck. Just as well Ryan was around.

Arlene I get nose bleeds as well and I have low blood pressure - mines usually start from pressure when I'm sick. It is a nuisance though.

Laura have fun sorting through your baby clothes. We were awwing and ahhing at the wee outfits yesterday when we were putting them away.

I've still to pack.

 

[arlene]

I'm not sure abput it, I'm gonna ask at the antenatal class on friday. I've got John coming to the class about feeding so I feel like I have some support!.xx

 

[lj2245]

Pretty sure all hospitals supply formula. They feed the Mums so they should feed the babies too!

 

[arlene]

I've heard that some will only give you formula if you try to breast feed and can't or it doesn't work and they expect you to take your own if you plan on using formula from the start. Least that's the impression I get from the ff forum. Xx

i had a nosebleed today too. My nose has often been congested during the pregnancy and its often sore when i breathe so i reckon its just sensitive. My blood pressure is fine. So I'm sure yours is nothing to worry about arelene.

Thats a shame they can't start the plastering sooner Laura. Do you not have somewhere you can store the furniture if you built it up now?

My baby bag is all packed still a few things to put in my bag tho. Its more like a small suitcase though lol.

I keep getting a weird feeling right down in my bits as if something is moving around down there. Its so odd. Not a clue what it could be! Anyone else getting anything similar?

 

[arlene]

Yeah, mine has been congested throughout as well Karen, the bleeding comes and goes. Xx

Baby's hands? I get a rooting about feeling and its the only thing it can be as he's head down.

 

[bbymc]

yeah. I was thinking it must be that. Thats a pretty weird thought lol. Its not sore or that. Just like a tickly sort of feeling lol.

 

[lj2245]

Hehe wait til baby engages and you feel like he/she is going to fall out

I'm at tae kwon do with Shaun waiting on him finishing. My back is killing me. 20 mins to go

 

[Cherrybump]

Sounds like everyone gets a stuffy nose through pregnancy lol we girls were just talking about this in the april thread lol. xxx

 

[arlene]

Yeah, it's one of the more annoying symptoms!!

I still haven't worked up the bottle to tell my mum we don't want anyone else at the hospital and we'll just call everyone when he arrives I just know she'll be mega disappointed. Any suggestions ladies? Xx

 

[lj2245]

Does she want to be in the labour room with you?

 

[arlene]

Yes She mentioned it ages ago, before we got pregnant and I never thought anything of it at the time. More and more now she's making wee comments like if John doesn't rub my back, she will etc and I haven't worked up the courage to tell her. While this will be her 2nd grandchild, I'm her only daughter and we are close so she thinks it's different than when my SIL was pregnant. I just know it's not going to be a nice conversation x

 

[lj2245]

You could always say you're only allowed one birth partner?

 

[arlene]

I have thought about that! Lol. Might ask at the antenatal class on friday. Hopefully she'll say I am only allowed one and it takes the heat off me a wee bit!! Xx

 

[bbymc]

Pics are too large to put on here but they are on FB

 

[lj2245]

I saw them! Yaaaayyy! They are lovely And you look beautiful...not a stretchmark in sight! Witch

Arlene, they are probably used to accommodating ladies and their pushy mother's If that doesn't work you can always just...not call her when you go into labour. Say it all happened too fast lol.

 

[bbymc]

thanks. They've been photoshopped lol. Altho not my belly in fairness. He just made my face a tiny bit thinner and my belly button not stick out as much. Baby was pushing it right out that day lol. I'm happy with them though. The boring portrait type one i don't like as much. We just got that done cos we know Ryan's stepmum will want one for her wall lol

arelene, i think honesty is the best policy here. It might be hard but at the end of the day I'm sure your mum will understand. All she'll really care about is that you have a good experience and that you and James are healthy and happy at the end of it. She might be disappointed but she'd forget about that once she sees James x

 

[Kaybee]

Emma pics are lovely.

Its snowing here today. Just little teeny flakes. Taking Kaiden to his school disco tonight - we've been practicing the hokey cokey so I hope they play it
