Thats great hun xxx

Goodness, I've missed a lot in the past 2 days on here! lol Can't remember who all posted what, but welcome to the newbies! *wave*

I love the names Quinn, Neviah, Oakley, and Lydia! Beetlejuice is definitely a classic, and Lydia is an awesome character, too. So far for a boy we're thinking Holden and a girl I keep changing my mind. Maybe Tinsley or Evangeline (Evie) or Eleanor (Ellie). I love the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby, and heard it the other day and thought that would be a pretty name for a girl.

Also, for the girls discussing Twilight, I'm a HUGE Twilight fan!!! I didn't think I would like the books at all, but I bought it to have light reading by the pool one summer, and couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the first Breaking Dawn to come out! It's out here on Nov 18, and since I'm due the 28th, I'm thinking I might go into labor in the movie. I think that would be appropriate, given that Bella will be giving birth in this one, too.

Sequeena hello, lovely bump and sorry to hear about your complications! but it sounds like your doing well now

Thanks for name advice girlies, I'm leaning toward Neva Lani I think, but not suggested the middle name to Mark yet! We will see if its boy or girl.

Cherry, thats funny that Pete has tried to stick his name in!! Haha, I can just imagine your reaction!

Gemmylou good luck with your scan today!! Exciting.

Ive seen every Joss Whedon thing there is to see (were total Geeks in our house). Ive been doing Buffy and Angel events for 11 years and have met loads of the cast. Im doing a True Blood convention again this year as last years was amazing. Thats my new love to replace Buffy along with Vampire Diaries.

Ooooooh, we LOVE True Blood have you read any of the books??

When Tegs used to wake in the middle of the night for a feed I'd sit and watch Angel at 4am on SciFi Good times! I'm also a Buffy fan but haven't watched any of them in ages! (Am now getting excited at the prospect of random tv in the early hours when feeding )

Right, I'm offically jealous, you met Spike!!!!!

Pink Sparkle - have you seen the teaser trailed for Breaking Dawn pt 1 yet? I got goosebumps! Roll on November I read the first 3 books and then googled it as they were just announcing the cast for the films and I was such a Twilight geek until the first film came out I didn't like Kristen Stewart as Bella, but she's grown on me now

Jade - Hope the rest of your birthday was better than you shitty work news Hope you have a brill weekend away though!

Rach - the prams lovely! and a bloody bargain at £40 with all of the stuff to go with it! You can always get another pram if you don't like it when the baby's here and in it!

Han - I LOVE Neva sounds such a pretty name, is it pronounce Nee-Vah or Nev-ah??

Sequeena - You've got a lovely bump I hope this last little bit of your pregnancy goes a little bit smoother

GemmyLou - I hope you're scan went well


Nothing new from me, apart from I FINALLY have my maternity notes! Already been looking at what's in there and it's all changed in 2 years! I'm officially under midwife-led care, even with a BMI of 38! It just has about seeing a consultant about anesthetic when I'm 30-odd weeks and my GTT test beween 26 and 28 weeks again!

Nausea has set in I think, yesterday I was at work and only felt sick, this morning I was sick again and it's my day off, I expect I'll be sick tomorrow morning too! 9/10 weeks is too late for MS to be starting but at least it is here and helps to reassure me that bubs is still growing away! I had a chicken and pasta salad for lunch from co-op, bit into a cherry tomato and had to spit it out before it made me sick I love all of that pasta normally couldn't even finish it! Which is unusual!

Hope you all have a good day! xx

 

[cranberry987]

I know someone seeing a consultant at 31 bmi so I dont think 38bmi is unusual. I cant ever see myself getting down to a 'perfect' bmi tbh, I think Id look ill! Could definately afford to lose some. Id need to lose 5 stone to be in the normal range, seriously, I think Id be too thin. Wouldnt look like me.

2 more lbs and im under 35bmi. not been dieting at all, just dont rly have much appetite. had chicken and mash with brocolli last night and ate about 1/3 of it before I was stuffed to the gills.

going to evil ikea tonight to get wardrobes for our bedroom. sick of my things being all over the place so want things sorting. going to get the pax system again then at least when we move house theyll fit wherever we go

 

[Rees]

I know what you mean about losing weight and not looking like yourself

A 14 is the most I think I could go down to again! My friend is packing up all her stuff to move in with her fella and she found a pic from our school leavers ball (only 9 years ago - I don't know where the time has gone!) and I was a 14 and I thought I looked big, looking back at the pics I had a lovely figure when I was 16! Damn bad life experiences caused me to develop a stutter, and depression and that was a lethal combination and the weight piled on

My auntie has put back on all the weight she lost, has been told she's now got arthritis and has to have a knee replacement, but she needs to lose the weight first so she can have it!

I am determined to lose weigh after this baby now so that I don't run those risks as arthritis seems to run in my family and I don't want weight to contribute to it!

Han - I didn't see you were feeling rough today hope your stuffy nose clears soon!

 

[Tizy]

Hey Rees and Cranberry.

Neva, is pronouched Nee-Vah, thanks for the comments about it. Its really growing on me. My stuffy nose has cleared abit but still feeling blahhhh!

I'm not going to worry to much about BMI's and weight, I think I've got used to my 1lb a week weight gain so far! and no doubt I will continue to gain at that rate - some ladies do. i did with Holly 13 years ago too. Lets enjoy our pregnancies and worry about that after!

You girls sound like you're doing ok anyway. Rees sorry you have MS, I didn't have any! suffice to say why the weight has piled on. Hopefully breast feeding will help us to loose the baby weight. I'm gonna try really hard to do it for longer this time, only managed 6 weeks last time. Hols was such a hungry baby!

P.s. Has anyone elase tried the new Yeo Valley Greek Style with Coconut Yogurts (probiotic) - wow thay are lovely, very creamy, I'm only allowing myself one a day, not sure of the calories (alot most prob) coa I threw the outer sleeve away!

Gemmylou86 Good luck with your scan! Let us know how it goes.

Rees, I didn't know there was a trailer for Breaking Dawn already!!! How did this get past me?? lol I'll have to google it immediately! Sorry you've gotten ms. I've had it since 6.5 weeks, and unfortunately still going strong. At least for me it's now usually just first thing in the morning. Hopefully it'll go away pretty soon for both of us.

Cranberry, good luck finding furniture! You should post pics when you get it all put together.

It's still over 90 degrees here every day which is miserable. Went to the pool for the first time this summer yesterday. As soon as I got all lathered up with sunscreen, it started thundering! lol Hasn't rained in like 2 weeks, and the one day I go to the pool it comes a downpour. Oh well. At least I found out I still fit in my swimsuit from last year. Wonder how long that will last??? The one I wore yesterday was a tankini so I'm not sure how it will look as my bump gets bigger. Don't think I'll be one to show off the bump, so I'm probably gonna have to get a maternity suit before vacation next month. Do you all have any advice about maternity swim suits? I've not even looked at any yet.

 

[sequeena]

Thanks for the welcome girls!

Gemmylou good luck with your scan, hope all goes well and baby cooperates, unlike mine lol!!

Oh yes! It's only a little teaser trailer that they put together for the MTV Movie awards, looks bloody good!

As for maternity swim wear I've got a maternity tankini that was too big last time, so should fit me fine this time around There are some nice tankini's and swimsuits around, some of the normal ones stretch a bit so you can last in them longer, but I wouldn't if you wanna get back in it again

Han - you lasted longer than me, 10 days I BF'd Tegs for! She lost 10% of her weight and the MW were getting worried and my boobs hurt like hell so I gave up, I'm determined to try for longer this time around but I know not to be so disappointed if I can't again, it's gonna be what's best for baby, not what the HV's and MW's try and make me do!

Hopefully you're nose won't be stuffy tomorrow and you can enjoy the weekend if you're not working!

Morning ladies! I got a little worried last night and wanted to ask your opinions. Last night for about an hour I was cramping, kinda like AF cramps, but it was sort of all over. My hips were hurting the most, but it was also down low and up to my waist, too. I didn't have any bleeding and it wasn't really bad enough to take any meds, but I did make Nick rub my hips for a while. It was just real uncomfortable. Do you think it's just everything stretching? I've never made it to this point before with a healthy pregnancy, so I'm not really sure what to expect from my body. I have a doctor's appointment Friday anyway, so I'll definitely ask him about it then.

 

[Samie18]

Hi everyone... just looking for some advice, i'm on the larger side i was 97 kilos at booking but have lost weight so far due to sickness and i'm now 92 kilos so just got my bmi under 35,, bit late now though!
Anyway.....

I'm 18 weeks pregnant and have no bump, i can hardly ever feel my uterus and i rarely feel any movements =o( i am getting slightly concerned now incase when i go for the next scan something will be wrong. Were you all feeling movements by now? Have a bump? or feel your uterus at least???

Sorry for moaning!

 

[cranberry987]

A friend of mine is stick thin so you'd think she'd show loads. Hardly a bump at all. Just looks like she's put on a wee bit of flab and she's 20w. Ppls bumps just vary is all. I dunno about movements as I'm not there yet but you've got a scan soon hopefully so just gotta hang out til then

I'm not a doctor but I would probs say it's stretching and round ligament pain. Maybe the start of SPD too if you are getting pain in your hips. Hope your doctor can give you more advice

Hun I didn't get my bump until 21 weeks and I'm a UK size 18. Also, my uterus is almost at my ribs and I still can't feel the bloody thing! Try not to worry

ETA: I didn't feel anything movement wise until 18+5

 

[pink sparkle]

Yeah defo sounds like stretching pains but you should mention it to your mw or doc for their opinion and advice always best to speak to the professionals if your at all worried.

Im only just starting to look pregnant really and im 20 weeks tomorrow! x

 

[pink sparkle]

How is everyone? Hope you have all had lovely weekends x

Had a busy weekend of baby shopping, brought a double pushchair in the sale, also got a breast pump for the bargain price of £5.00 and got a bottle warmer (ive never had one before and after opening and reading the instructions i think i have just completely wasted my money!) Would anyone recommend a bottle warmer?

Just a quick mention that theres a good sale on at mothercare if anyone was thinking of buying anything id have a look x

 

[sunshine623]

Thanks ladies! I've been fine the past couple of days, so I'm thinking it's just stretching or round ligament pain. I'm definitely going to ask my doctor about it on Friday, but since it only lasted a little while and hasn't come back, I'm not as worried about it now.

I started buying some things for baby this weekend! Only neutral clothes and blankets, but I'm still really excited to finally get to buy baby something! Can't wait to hear the heartbeat on Friday!

 

[xheartsx]

Hi Ladies, how are you all doing this evening? I'm just back from a weekend in blackpool. It was fab! Good to get away for a weekend. We walked so much up and down the piers, and i am so stiff! My legs are ridiculously sore! I'm so unfit haha.

Hope everyone is ok. xx

 

[Welsh_mum2be]
