I wouldnt worry Stranje, everyone is different. I find sometimes im unaware of the baby moving when im busy and doing things, but if I pay attention its more often then what I think. Im aware of it most in the evening when im relaxing and nothing else on my mind. It is lovely though! xx

 

[Rachael1981]

I'm so sorry Future

 

[trixie79]

id say your plancenta could be blocking her...i wouldnt worry, i didnt feel the triplets at all during that preg...im finding this one is very active. dont know why its injections, i guess thats the way they give steriods....id say he will go bonkers next week!!!

 

[_dreamer_]

ouch trix on the injections

how is everyone doing?

all good with me. have brought a load of girls second hand clothes from my friends sister, 3 huge bags for £20 lovely bits ranging from newborn to 6 months. so i'm busy washing them today! can't help myself lol. i've got a couple of days holiday now, so just using them to relax and have some time to myself

my baby girl is very active now, and daddy has been feeling her kick and poking her back. so nice to see them bonding.

only 1 week until v day yey. can't believe where we're all at now!

Hey ladies.. im doing well too.. 6 days until my anatomy scan.. so getting excited for that..

 

[_dreamer_]

exciting lilrojo! 6 days will go quickly especially when 2 are the weekend lol x

 

[baby2310]

have just heard that my sister in laws contractions have started woop woop!
so excited to be an aunty again and to meet our little one's new cousin

 

[Tobaira]

sounds like a good day dreamer!

yay for your anatomy scan lilrojo.. I really enjoyed mine.

Isn't being an aunt awesome baby? I have 4 nieces who all live pretty close whom I love to pieces.. Especially the older ones as I spent a lot of time with them when they were really little.

This week has been a nightmare for me. We started this huge new project at work that will last at least until the end of the year and it's turning out to be a bit stressful. Normally my job is not stressful at all, so combining it with being pregnant is just wiping me out. Hopefully when things get a little more regulated it will calm down and be better. The babies make sure I take a break around 2-3, that seems to be when they are the most active and I get sidetracked from working because I can feel them moving around. Still not feeling what I would call kicks and definitely can't feel/see it from the outside but I'm definitely feeling it on the inside! In fact I think their ears must be burning because they started wiggling around again just now! Looking forward to the weekend, I have Monday off and go in for my next appointment that day - get to have a little longer scan since they forgot to get some measurements during the anatomy scan 3 weeks ago. So that will be fun. Only downside to next week is DH will be gone Tues - Fri. This is the first time he'll be gone since we moved in together 4 years ago so that will be weird (although I've been gone on some business trips, but its different when you're the one at home alone!).

oh my goodness girls, I'm just rambling on.. sorry!! hope everyone is doing well!

 

[Tobaira]

ok just one more thing, some pictures of the nursery all painted with the cribs up (we painted Sunday and put the cribs up Tuesday I think). Still more to do but this is what we have for now. You can see Sylvester (known also as Slydog or Pester depending on the havoc he is causing) just had to test out the cribs..

 

[LadyL]

Yay for your scan lilrojo!

And congrats on being an aunt again Trix!! I can't wait til I get to be an aunt! I only have one brother and he's 2 years younger than me and doesn't have a GF at the moment, so it'll prob be a while for me! And my hubs is an only child, so I can't be an aunt-in-law either!

Awesome nursery Tobaira!! I am so jealous that you already have your room somewhat ready! We still have to gut Jack's room completely before I can even think about filling it with a whole bunch of stuff!! Our house is over 100 yrs old, so we've been taking room by room and remodeling as we can afford it. Luckily, my dad is very handy and can do most things without having to hire a contractor! Poor DH is not as handy (but I wouldn't dare tell him that!!) All this remodeling can be a pain, but the house has been in DHs family forever, so we don't pay a mortgage......that's what I constantly have to remind myself every time something tears up in this house!! Haha!!

 

[baby2310]

It's official im an aunt again!
I have another little nephew, born at 3.40 this morning weighing 6lb 12 oz
Ethan James is tiny and absolutely gorgeous! My sil is doing well, very sore as she had no pain relief, she had a bath and from what i can gather her waters broke without realising, 9cm dilated when they checked and there wasn't time.
Both are doing well though and we're hopefully going to visit this weekend

 

[StranjeGirl]

Congarts baby2310!! How exciting, especially since you have one on the way!

Sorry your work is getting stressful Tobaira. Be sure to take care of yourself. You are carrying 2 and I'm sure that takes more energy!! The nursery is adorable! Especially with two little cribs! Is your bump getting really big?

Good luck with the scan lilrojo! I swear they can't come fast enough!

I am feeling a bit fatigued and slightly dizzy today. My blood pressure is fine. Is this normal? I notice it when I am up moving around. I just have no energy and feel like I am at a high altitude or something. I feel ok sitting or lying down, just a little sleepy, but not dizzy or anything. I felt like this for a day about a month ago too...unfortunately it was a day where dh and I went to a wild animal park that required a lot of walking, mostly uphill. I felt like I was going to pass out. Is this normal or should I check with the doctor?

Hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend! I can't believe how far along we all are! Can't wait to see pics of everyone's little ones!!!

 

[lilrojo]

[trixie79]

i would say its normal to feel tired but prob not dizzy, i would still mention it to the doc just to be safe, you could have an infection that needs sorting!

im completely dyin with the cold......ther is just not enough hot lemon in the world is curing this!

 

[_dreamer_]

cute nursery tobaira, so sweet seeing two cribs together!

sorry to hear you're suffering trix. hope you feel better soon. touch wood i've been lucky so far and managed to avoid any colds. hope that continues!!! it's just been the headaches i get that are hard as paracetamol doesnt help.

Sorry to hear your feeling poorly. Ive been exactly the same...it rubbish you cant take anything for it. Have you tried putting honey with your lemon? Apparently it has a natural antibacterial type thing in it which kill off bugs. Menuka honey is the best, but most expensive. Ive been having that with halls soothers and lockets etc. The odd paracetamol when Ive felt really rubbish.
Hope you feel better soon x

i have manuka in the fridge but i heard you cant take honey when you are preg, same as nuts............something to do with allergies....has anyone else heard that???

 

[Claire1]

Whoops, not heard that to be fair.
Though actually about the nut thing, my midwife has said it ok to eat nuts now. Not by the bucket load, but a few are ok. Ive been eating peanut butter! She said it was because nut allergies had risen since woman were told not to eat them, so a few wont harm and can prevent the allergy because the baby is kind of being introduced to them already?! I figure woman didnt know about all this stuff years ago and most babies were born happy and healthy, so I take it all with a healthy pinch of salt x

 

[_dreamer_]

yeah the advice in the uk is only avoid nuts if you have nut allergies in your family. i LOVE nuts so fingers crossed everything will be ok as i have been eating my normal amount which is probably quite a lot!!!! x
