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

[peanutmomma]

nope not actual bed rest just told "relax more" and "take it easy" and no more doing laundry and not alot of bending over. I don't currently work so I am unsure how to relax more now LOL.
I think I will make it at least 9-11 more weeks. But deff. not November.

Glad they dont think Zaya will come in the next 10wks.

Bug hugs for you and Zaya x

 

[Nariah01]

FX that Zaya stays put as long as possible. But either way it looks like you will have your little girl sooner then expected. Good luck, and hugs that it all turns out well.

 

[Gemie]

Hi ladies,

Me and DH have been out enjoying our anniversary had a lovely stroll round a local fishing village and going back to our wedding venue tonight for a meal. So excited that on our next anniversary we will be parents

Thought i'd post my first bump pic too seen as i'm almost in 3rd tri!!

This was today at 26+5

Hope you're all well

JDH, happy anniversary!!!!
You look FANTASTIC! Ahhh almost third tri. How excellent. what a good day

 

[gardenofedens]

Can't believe some of you ladies are already in third tri! I'm so jealous!! Still almost three more weeks for me to get there! I feel so far behind...

I started reading Adventures in Tandem Nursing today since DD will be 15-15.5 months when DS arrives and I plan to tandem nurse until DD is 2. It's quite interesting so far. I've only read the first chapter or two but one of the interesting facts I came across is that by day 10-14 after delivery, your body is producing about 1/2 gallon of milk per day!! Can't believe it; that sounds so crazy! It's no wonder milk sprayed EVERYWHERE all the time. I think I'm going to try Milkies this time around. Anyone have experience with them? They don't look very comfortable...

I used a similar product 14 years ago with my daughter. I put one in the opposite side when I was feeding my daughter and actually caught a lot of milk which I then froze. I preferred them to soggy breast pads! (although I am hoping that all products are much more developed these days!

Sorry I haven't been on here much recently, it's easier for me to get onto the facebook page when I am at work in the week.

Hugs again Peanut and Zaya. Like on said on FB, at least they have picked it up early so can start things like steriod jabs now to give you the best chance of making it to 36 weeks. Keeping everything crossed for you hun.

I can't believe I'm only a week or so off of 3rd tri. It seems like such a long way away when you first get your BFP and now it's almost here. Bonkers!

Hope everyone else is well. Happy anniversary to those with anniversaries to celebrate, hugs to anyone who needs one and yay to the fruit changers today lol. I'm finally an aubergine after being papaya for 3 weeks! xx

 

[teacup22]

Yay for nearly 3rd tri! I've moved up a box and only 2 more to go!
Can't believe how many I've done already

Thanks for the feedback Creative! So they weren't discreet or comfortable enough to wear all the time? I remember I leaked CONSTANTLY for the first 4-5 months after Abigail was born and went through several nursing pads a day. I'd love to find a way to save all that milk I was losing!

14years ago they were not discreet! they may have improved, but they used to stand proud an inch or more.

How long can you wear a nursing pad for before it has to be changed? I accept everyone is different but I have no clue....

Like a sanitary pad, every one is different. I don't know how absorbant pads are these days YET, but the general rule is before it becomes too wet next to your skin. I know that when I last fed baby, at night I just used to pad my chest with disposable nappies as I leaked all night long and would wake up saturated otherwise. I am hoping that time has improved things so that I don't have to do that this time.

 

[JDH1982]

Hello 3rd tri!! Whoop! Can't quite believe i'm here, hope everyone is well xx

Lol, good to know. Maybe I'll just but one for now and depending how well it works then add a second rather than jump to the two back from the start!

How long can you wear a nursing pad for before it has to be changed? I accept everyone is different but I have no clue....

In the very beginning I would change mine every few hours because they'd be soaked but as Abigail got a bit older, nursing pads would last a but longer. I also didn't like the smell of my milk in the pads so I think I probably changed them frequently because of that too.

I tried a few different brands last year with Abigail and the only ones I liked were the Lansinoh brand. All the others I tried leashed or smelled too strongly with even a tint bit of milk in them. I know you can also get washable reusable ones too but I didn't try those.

So excited for your v-day Lesley!!! I hope you get a lot out of the birthing classes. I liked ours for the most part. We talked about doing a refresher course but I think it's still close enough in the past that we don't need to. It was just a year ago afterall, lol!!

Loads of V-days and people hitting third tri. This pregnany malarky is suddenly starting to seem very real!
