Hello everyone. I'm 13 weeks today and still vomiting/nauseous. Is anyone else still struggling? Starting to worry this might be with me until the birth!

I had the same well into week 20 with my girls. Things seem way better this time, I am nauseas in the mornings and sometimes in the afternoon, but only vomiting once or twice a week. Much better then everyday like my last two pregnancies! I think my body just might be starting to get used to these hormones third time around! Haha

You're not alone! I've had bad morning sickness since week 5 and I still have it. But I expected it, as when I was pregnant with my son I had morning sickness until the beginning of my third trimester. Not expecting this time to be any different.

Just stay strong hun, I know it sucks but we'll all get through it together!
 
IM with you! 14 weeks today and still feeling rubbish, mine is more afternoon sickness so need to make sure i eat breakfast and lunch as most of the time i cant stomach dinner! Its my birthday today, hubby and dd have made me a cake so fx i can stomach eating a bit of it, or i think dd would get a bit upset! X
 
My hubby's employer offers top off for paternity leave, so I'll be taking 6 months off (probably starting in July) and he'll take the other 6 months. It's hard for us to live off of just my husband's income and my EI. We managed it last time for me to take 11 months off, but now we have a bit more debt and a toddler so it will be harder. I'm thankful for the time I get off though as I know not everyone gets that kind of time off
 
Wow the maternity pay is so different all over the world! The US sucks really, I can't believe there is no nationwide law..!

My partner also agrees that I will stay at home and go back to teaching after our second child. Makes me a bit sad to think this year's class will be my last for a while!

Hope everyone is having a great day :)
 
It's different in the US based on what state you live in. In some states there's nothing. Just job protection, but no pay. Here in California you get 4 weeks at 55% before the baby is born, and 12 weeks after the baby is born at 55%. Your job is legally protected for 4 months of absence due to pregnancy/birth of a baby.

You get paid from Disability for the 4 weeks before and the first six weeks after, and then the last 6 weeks after the baby is born, you're covered by the Family Medical Leave Act. You also get an extra 4 weeks in addition if you have a csection.
 
we havent purchased much - a cute onesie, a cute hat. my mom bought us a piggybank (check it out, it's called "porkfolio", links to your smart phone via an app). we already have a crib and dresser (from my previous life that *luckily* never produced kids). we're waiting to find out gender and for spring time to start moving things around in the house and really get prepared. i (weirdly) feel like i've got all the time in the world - yeah, joke's on me, i'm sure around april i'll be having panic attacks!
 
^ I haven't purchased much either. I got a crib used for $60 and my Mom just picked up a brand new mattress for it for half price for only $50. I got a 5 pack of plain white diaper shirts and I just got some bottles the other day, only 4 but it's a start! LOL
 
I made DH put up the crib at 20 weeks because I was READY. So that was about July of 2012... she didn't actually go from her rock n play in our room to her crib in her room till she was 12 weeks old. So March of 2013! Lol so this time I'm really not even going to panic until I'm about 36 weeks and I have nothing done.
 
I haven't bought anything yet! I really want to but don't know what to buy haha. We've booked our gender scan for next Friday (YAY!) so afterwards I'm going to buy either a boys or girls outfit, I'm so excited! We have tons of clothes from our DD so if it's a girl we won't need to buy many clothes. We'll need a new Moses basket which we're going to buy around April. Can't decide wether to buy a new pram or just use the one we have from DD. It's still in good condition and I plan on using my moby wrap as long as I can so not sure wether it's worth buying a new one! But the thought of buying a new one excites me and I have permission from DH to buy one if I like haha so it's tempting!
 
My son is still going to be in his cot when this little one is born I imagine. He shows no signs of getting tired of it; he never tries to climb out and is happy to go to sleep and stay asleep in it. He'll be 2.5 and getting ready to go into his first proper bed when the new baby is born. I'm getting him a cabin bed though for extra storage in his and the baby's room, which is 1m off the ground, so I'd rather he was closer to three before he went into it, so I could be sure he was confident climbing in and out. The new baby will be in a moses basket or a crib at my side for the first few months in our room and then when he/she is ready for the cot we'll move my son into his new bed.

Hello :) My name is Ermoni and I thought I should say a word since I am due in August as well!! I hope of our little ones stay sticky for the next 7 months! I am going to have my first u/s on Wednesday. I hope I am farther along then I am guessing. This will be my first so every twinge and pull I get nervous about haha
 
Ok ladies... So it's official! We are having a baby GIRL!:flower:

Yes, I have three girls already and was hoping for a boy, but after hearing that the cell-free DNA blood work came back perfect (no sign of Down's or any of the Tri's), I am just so happy that our little wiggle baby is perfectly healthy, even though she is measuring huge! Lol. You would think that I would be all set in terms of what to buy, but since my youngest is 7 1/2, I have very few baby items (crib...I hope we still have all the pieces, a pink and grey Maclaren stroller, and a kick ass Medela breast pump) Not a single stitch of baby clothes :(. Oh well, I always had fun shopping for baby girl clothes, so here we go again!:kiss::happydance::cloud9:

Congrats on your pink bundle:) :pink: I am thinking we will be an all girl family as well:)

We have not bought anything yet. We are waiting to find out the gender. If this one happens to be a boy, we will have some shopping to do:) If it's another girl, we will splurge for a few items just for her. Looking forward to it though.
 
A question on nappies. IM nit sure which size to stock up on as all depends on weight of baba when s/he is born. Right now i have 1 pack of 45 newborn size 1s and a box of 72 newborn size 2s? Should i buy more of the size 2s? .. Those of you that have had children before, have any of you tried ASDA Little Angels nappies and are they any good? .. New at all of this so any info and advice is greatly appreciated :)
 
Wow canada does have good rights!

Cant believe people are finding out gender and i am still 2 days away from my first scan!!

I wouldn't buy any more size 1's because you don't know how big baby will be. My 2 were both small babies (6lb 7 oz and 6lb 8oz) but my SIL's first baby was born 9lb 8oz and he didnt fit in size 1's! and he didnt fit in newborn clothes either, he was a big boy!!

ASDA little angels nappies are good, we haven't had any problems with them and we have been using them about a year now :)

Thank You! .. i won't get anymore size 1s then. my boyfriend(babys father) was 9lb 6oz when he born so i could maybe have a big baby .. i was only 4lb 5oz so quite a difference haha .. not sure whether to get another box of size 2s or just wait until baby is here and then see which size to get. because if s/he goes straight into size 2s then 72 will last me a few days if not a week hopefully. but knowing me will probably buy another box! im just too excited and want to have everything ready lol. i know baba isnt due until August but i'm getting things each week but not getting pram or moses basket till after 20 weeks .. sorry for rambling :haha:
