Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[rachael872211]

I find when I drink something cold I get some reaction from the baby.

I keep craving coke! Normally not that bothered at all but I'm definitely craving sweet things this pregnancy despite not normally having a sweet tooth. X

 

[Dazed125]

My morning sickness is gone now but I do have a much weaker stomach than normal and find myself gagging quite a lot. Hope yours goes soon xx

I'm only coming up to 14 weeks so still feeling sick, I expect to for a while yet 16-19 weeks I think mine starts to go.

I want everything bad very very rare steak, pâté and Brie oh and apparently feta is bad...can't keep track.

I hate the angel sounds monitor, they're rubbish IMO I bought one with poppy as everyone rated them but after using a hibebe and hearing lo every time I listen I highly rate these, so reassuring and worth the money x

 

[BubsMom17]

I wish I felt more movement, too. I get a little flutter or rolling feeling, or just some pokey proddy sensations, but it's few and far between. I am just getting anxious... 10 days until my scan!
I wish I felt movement as often as I felt Braxton-Hicks...

Last night and today lots of moving around in there ! And when I lay on my left side bean doesn't like it and lets me know lol ... hope all is well with everyone today .. rainy lazy day here for me and ds .. watching sprout ♥ days like this with him

 

[lovehearts]

Spent almost 4 hours in hospital today! Had dark brown discharge this morning so I went in to be checked. Cervix is closed, no sign of bleeding from inside, listened to babys heartbeat and she was fine. So we are non the wiser. Im pretty sure its from the area of bleed on my scan. Hopefully its a sign its clearing up now. Im to go back in if it gets heavier. I see my midwife tomorrow. xx

Well I'm glad lo is ok Lovely.... Sorry you had the scare though! How terrifying!

AFM I have my doctors appointment today. Hoping and praying all my bloodwork was good and that LO is doing good in there. Although I'm pretty sure she/he was kicking/poking me this morning as I took my shower! lol

Haven't been feeling her/him too much lately so it was nice to feel the jab!

Who knew we would like to be poked and kicked!

 

[cassafrass]

Thinking about you love!! Hope its a good sign

Angel lo loves when I take a bath too!!

I am so glad that all of you are feeling movements Ladies. I am quite jealous I must say! I have only felt something once over a week ago and it may have been trapped gas I can not say for any certainty as it was so low and on the right. I just have the sudden uncomfy jabs of pain that I think are RLP! I hope I feel something before the first kick I feel. If not then I hope baby will kick hard the first time and maybe by 21 weeks?

Lovely- I am so sorry for your bleeding scare today! Glad baby is okay though. Maybe you are right and it was just the bleed fixing itself.

I have emailed Tower I will send her another PM on here and hope she responds soon. I am missing her and hoping she is okay!
I wish I has some sunshine here today. It is supposed to rain until Sunday June 2nd!!
I am going to try to get some more done on the soon-to-be nursery again today. When DH gets home I plan to move the booksheves out of the hall and into the room and the fish aquarium in the room into the hall. I also want to rearrange out bedroom to so we have more room in case we decide that we will get a bassinet and have baby in there for a short period. I doubt we will though as they are too expensive! But, this week I want to get all of the big stuff moved into place. That way when we get back from our little trip the 10th ans 11th with the crib that will be the last furniture, I hope, we will have to move.
Question, do I have to have an actual changing table?

Peanut - I never had a changing table, but we had a Pack N' Play. I don't know if you know what those are... they are play pens, but they have an attachable bassinet on top for newborns, but my son used it until he was 4 months. We were able to put it in the room with us until we felt comfortable with him being in his own room in his crib. BUT the pack n' play also has an attachable/removable changing station! It also has wheels so I could move it all over the house with me for his naps or play time, etc.
When he got too big for the changing station, I just used his changing pad on the floor or the couch. I'm sure a changing table is convenient, but we just had no room for one.
I'm not sure if the Pack N' Play was more expensive than a bassinet, but you can use it for MUCH MUCH MUCH longer than a bassinet!

Well I had my midwife app today I have lost 4kg or about13lb since I booked in, she could not find lo hb for ages which was a bit worrying and my bp was80/40 which is abit low. My pregnancy heart condition has returned but apart from all that rubbish it was good I think a lot is to do with the stress of losing my mum. On the brite side things can only get better

Re changing table I have always used a mat on the floor its cheaper and baby cant fall off

 

[gardenofedens]

Yea, the pack and plays are fantastic. DD slept in hers until she reached the 15 pound weight limit...somewhere around 5 months. You definitely don't have to have a changing table. With dd, I bought everything that was multi functional so her dresser is also a changing table, her crib converts to a toddler bed and then to a twin bed, her swing is also a bouncy seat, and her high chair converts to a booster seat. The pieces weren't any more expensive up front and they'll last way longer. I rarely actually use the changing table though, I typically just change her diaper on the living room floor since thats where we spend the most time rather than go to her room.

 

[Angeltk42]

This is my first LO but I have helped raise friends kids, cousins kids, nieces and nephews and NONE of them have ever used their changing table! lol Floor, couch, nearest flat surface! lol If you get a dresser/changing table at least it will be practicle. The only thing that is kinda cool about a changing table is that it's like a bookcase in some instances and can hold the diapes wipes and essentials but you can go to ikea and buy a cheap bookcase for that stuff and save yourself the hassel.

 

[jammers77]

Definitely no need for a changing table. We always used a dresser we already had and just slapped on one of the diaper changing pads that you can buy at a store. It's the same changing pad that goes on a diaper changing station (with the high walls on the pad), just put on a dresser. I wasn't able to change LOs diapers on the floor after they were first born because I had sections with each one, so changing on the dresser was very handy and much more comfy on my tummy.

Good point if you have stitches or a section the floor might not be that practical

 

[zowiey]

Oh lovehearts, what a scare that must have been? Hope it all stops, & like you say was just growing bubba pushing out the blood. Big

Hope tower is ok peanut, it's good that you both keep in touch so much, so we know how she's doing.

2nd time, hope you're doing ok? Will you have to have extra monitoring for your heart condition?

I've received some twin books today from a lovely lady I met on bnb, so I'm going to make an ovaltine & get snuggly in bed with them

Thanks hope you enjoy your twin books, I get the same heart thing everytime I get pregnant last time I had lots of tests an stuff but they dont seem too concerned , its just me being weird lol

 

[MandaAnda]

I just put the change mat on top of a chest of drawers, and I only used it dressing him in the mornings or at bath time of an evening. During the day, I just laid him on the footstool (a big ottoman type) or on the sofa for a nappy change.

 

[Angeltk42]
