Breastfeeding & pregnant Mammas

[Spiffynoodles]

M2C, the same thing happened to my mom, the breast cancer spread to her liver, and that was what ultimately took her life. I'm so sorry that the same thing is happening to your cousin. Unfortunately for me, the fact that my mom had breast cancer so young, and the fact that her mom had it before her, means there's a good chance it's genetic, and I'll end up with it, too.

M2C, I'm glad you have a good midwife.

As for the weekend, not too much planned. We have to go over to my in-laws today to get a few things we left when we moved, and then my dad wants us to come visit him, too, so we'll probably go over on Sunday after church.

Spiffy I'm sorry to hear that lovely but the good thing is you know this so any signs of anything you can get it checked. Fingers crossed that never happens though. Hugs xxxx

Any room for a hanger on? Running a bit late with my EDD, compared to you lot, but hey lol!

 

[Cangaroo]

Welcome dan-o!

I've been totally exhausted all weekend and have achieved none of the things I wanted to. Fed up of feeling so useless! I hope this exhaustion passes soon.

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Whoop Dano! Well pleased your joining!

Xxx

 

[Veronicaco]

Hey Dan-o!!! Great to see you here xxx

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Yay! Dan-O! Good to see you on this side of the fence. It's nice to be able to encourage the TTC/NTNP'ers, but it's also good to have a place to chat about pregnancy without feeling like we're rubbing it in their faces, if you know what I mean?

Cangaroo, I hear you. I can't wait for the first tri tiredness to pass. DH let me sleep in until 9:30am yesterday and I still felt tired!

OMG Dan-O congrats!!!!! Welcome to the thread!!

I totally cant wait for this tiredness to go away, I want my energy back! I still have major unpacking to do.
All my cloths are still in totes lol I should just leave them there because its not like they fit me anymore any ways. What i need to do I find the one that has all my maternity cloths in it

 

[luvymom]

Ugh. I am so done with the first trimester. Exhaustion, nausea, smells kill me! Constantly talking myself out of throwing up. blah. Hard to eat. Hard to drink. Going on a super long family road trip. The drive will suck but the thought of not cooking or cleaning (staying in hotels) won me over.

spiffy, I don't think I ever answered, but I live in Logan. I will be going to IMC in Murray to have the baby though because I LOVE my ob/gyn there.

 

[Jess19]

Just wanted to update
I called my Drs office today because no one ever called me back and the nurse went and talked to my dr and they scheduled an US for tomorrow morning at 8:30am!!
I really didnt expect them to actually schedule one! So im happy that Ill finally be able to relax after this.
Go figure that tomorrow we are supposed to get like 2-4 inches of snow! (it was 70 degrees this morning) But thats how it is here in Erie! It's stupid.
It sucks because the 4 wheel drive on my suv is broken and I really dont like driving in the snow Im a little nervous. Ill just have to take it slow.
Ill update as soon as I get back home!

Exciting! Good luck with your scan!

Had my mw appointment yesterday and she confirmed I am measuring quite high but said its normal and that yes I would of felt movement by my bellybutton

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Luvymum I'm feeling you on the sickness front! Yuk!

Jess hope all is well. Drive safe and I look forward to an update!

Zephyr how lovely your feeling movement!

How are you all ladies? What are everyone's next appointments? I'm waiting on my scan date.

Xxx

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Luvymom, who is your OBGYN? Because I also will be delivering at IMC, because I too love my OBGYN there! I use Dr. Brown, but Dr. Ponder delivered my son and she was fabulous, too. But wow, that's quite a drive for your appointments!

Jess, can't wait to hear back about your scan! I'm sure everything will be great.

Zephyr, did your MW give you an explanation for why you're measuring that high? Or did she make it sound like it was "just one of those things"?

As for me, I'm sitting on pins and needles today hoping that the MS I had yesterday was just a fluke and everything will be back to normal today. All day yesterday it was a constant battle with nausea and hunger, and when I ate, I'd feel better, but I'd feel so sick that nothing sounded appetizing. It gives me a whole new appreciation for you ladies who deal with this and worse in every pregnancy.

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Ms in any shape or form is hard..... Specially when your kept busy with other babies so taking 5 is even harder.

So ladies who have bubs with a small age gap what did you do about pushchairs? When indie was born Corban was 2.5 so only needed a buggy board. Indie will be about 18 months and will be winter so should I be thinking double???

My DD was 16 months when DS was born, so we knew a double stroller was going to be a must, so we got this one: https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Trend-D...-2&keywords=baby+trend+sit+and+stand+stroller (Except we got ours used for half the price). We liked it because it has two seats, but also converts into the sit-and-stand for when she gets a little older, and it also has lots of leg-room for the kid in back, since a lot of doubles that I've seen don't. I also like the long double strollers over the wide ones because we can fit in places that the wide ones can't.

 

[Krippy]

We never use our stroller as we have found babywearing much more convenient...I will use our stroller this time for Raif and I will carry my newborn. We will see how it goes!

I am still feeling sick which is really sad...Can't wait to start feeling better! Hope everyone is well!

 

[Jess19]

Everything with baby looks great!!! so happy!!! Got a few ultrasound pics too!!

 

[Jess19]

I was thinking about a stroller for when the baby gets here.
I had the same thing in mind as what you have spiffy. Although I wont actually need it until next summer. I wont be leaving the house much for the first few months lol def not with the snow we get around here

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Jess, I'm so happy your ultrasound went well! Must be such a relief. I cannot wait until mine next week!

By the way, I have been googling 9/10 week twin bumps. Someone needs to come give me a good slap!

 

[Jess19]

Spiffy when is your ultrasound?
I must say that your bump is almost twin status looking lol
