Hello Spellfairy, not seen ya for a bit, hope you're ok.

Cranberry (Helen) love the changing table, and a bargain!!! I'm really short of stuff but we've run out of money, not sure how we're gonna get the rest of the stuff we need!

I made aubergine and tomato tarts for tea with ricotta and parmesan, we had it with salad. Tomorrow diet starts for definate, going to do Slimming World. Hopefully I can stop this runnyaway weight gain!

Watching the soaps now I think Xxx
 
Are you on freecycle? There's a TON of baby stuff of there. It's sometimes a bit used, if it was pristine they'd sell it after all, but if youve a car to collect then its free so you've lost nothing. I've got loads of good shit off there!
 
Duck was crap. No way that would feed 6ppl. I'm still hungry after it. Was enough meat for small 3 pancakes unless you ate the bones and skin yuk. Don't fancy anything else now but I'm hungry :( stupid lying tescos
 
Hi tizy ur dinner sounds lush:) I had a chip butty And my prenatal vits lol. Tonight my oh and his mate fitted my new cooker ohlala now I can cook but no kitchen fitted yet lol.
 
Morning

Well I'm up and i said last night that if i was up early I'd go for a swim. Don't have work til 11 and I rly should go but just can't make self gooooo

Might go at 8.30 actually then i can go before work. Yes. Two hrs of lounging around seems enough before a leisurely swim.

Have a good day all!
 
Morning all!
Cranberry, what a bargain!! Gorgeous table. (did you make it to the pool??)
I can't wait to start buying stuff. I shall have to make more time to look on ebay and freecycle etc. I'm not really an internet shopper though but sure I can turn into one! I popped into mothercare on Sunday just for a little look around and felt really emotional!! sad or what?! Didn't buy anything, wasn't intending to so that's ok!
This may sound stupid but is there a list of things we should buy?- I know most of it's common sense but this is my first baby and I don't want to forget anything.... when I got married last year there were tons of checklists in the magazines that were really helpful! If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it!
 
Morning girls,

How's everyone today? Well after a thoroughly depressing day yesterday about my weight, I've woken today full of optimism! I'm all set to do Slimming World, I've just got to pop to Asda after work to get a few SW essentials, cottage cheese, low fat yoghurt, fry light etc! I'll keep ya posted on how I get on and I've also joined the SW thread on here, so hoping those girls will help me too, most of them have already had their babies but I'm sure they'll be supportive! I'm going to inform my MW on Monday at my 20 week scan - do we see the midwife then? anybody know?

Hope everyone lese is ok Xxx
 
Morning girls. Ive had the most awful night.

Had an indian for tea last night, 1/2 hour after eating it I was in agony, spend well over an hour rocking in pain on the toilet, it was running out of me (tmi!) and I had a sick bowl as was both ends. The pain was unbearable. Ive had it before several times over the years when Ive eaten something dodgy but was worried for baby! I went to bed 8pm in pain and was back on the the loo 9pm. Pain wouldnt go on the left where I get my IBS. Finally fell asleep and babys hb and movement is ok this morning on doppler.

Anyways, I ordered some maternity pants online from VERY.co.uk and had them delivered to a 'local' shop. Only to find this morning after walking 40 mins in boiling heat that the shop changed its name and wasnt where I thought it was and was closed till 11am and I got there at 9.11am. I started to sob. Ive complained to Very.co.uk and theyre sending me some more knickers free delivery to our house. Im knackered and feel shit :(

Han, theres no point worrying about your weight hun, eat what you eat and when youve had baby you can worry then. I was concerned to start with but now I just think, if I put 3 stone on, so be it. I will do WW after Xmas. You wont see your midwife normally till 35 weeks now, I get to see mine at 23 weeks because of my GTT X

Hope you all have a good day. xx
 
My yellow notes say 25 or 28w I think for next mw. Bear in mind sw need you to get mw to sign off if you go to groups and they dont even tell you your weight which seems like a total waste if time to me. I'd follow the diet plan if you wanted and forget the groups.

Sorry you were so poorly from the curry, glad all is ok on the Doppler, make sure you keep hydrated.

I went for a swim buy it was a bit halfhearted tbh. Just eaten a prawn sandwich, I have a bit of an obsession with them atm. Hungry again an my cherries which I bought this week are mouldy! Time for a Starbucks run I think mmm

Off to stupid work now. Laters
 
Thanks Helen, Yeh I'm not going to the classes as i can't afford it, but I've done SW lots of times before, so I know what I'm doing.

Rachel, god your night sounds horrendous! So glad you're feeling better and bubs is ok.

Was meaning to ask, my LO has gone quiet, was getting daily kicks, now nothing for a couple of days, has anyone else had this? Checked with doppler night before last and all was ok!

Han Xxx
 
Midwife told me they dont see me for ages now (esp if its not your first). Mine says 25 weeks to but she drew a line through it right to 35 weeks then changed her mind because of my GTT testing, she wants to see me whilst thats all going on etc.
To be honest, if I hadnt seen a midwife at all I dont think it would matter, they havent done much. The hosp took my bloods and apart from fill in things I cant read, they havent told me much or helped me with anything.

Im just braving some toast now Helen, it was horrible. I said to Pete, if I cant cope with this pain I wont like childbirth, epidural all the way LOL

Han, my bump buddy has been getting kicks and movement every day then it stopped and she doesnt have a doppler but had a scan and all was well. I guess they just stop for a bit and go to sleep. I was so worried last night with the pain and worried it might poison baby but all seems ok. I wont be eating Indian again till after baby is born :( put me off totally.

I did WW online £10.95 a month and was fantastic and cheaper than weekly classes, although you cant do WW whilst pg. You get a graph, weigh in, points calculator, measurements, forums etc, I lost 15lb in about 4-5 weeks. Loved it and cant wait to get back on it. I dont like SW.

I reckon if you're at all worried then have a scan, hb on Doppler doesn't necessarily mean all is well but it probably is. No harm in calling the mw seeing what they say if you're worried

Someone said to me that the pain of childbirth isn't like a pain pain it's mote like a pressure pain so you might surprise yourself

Grr! Mil started on with "well your sil needed a c section. And well I went to a mw led unit" firstly sil probably had problems because of the hospital environment. And secondly mw unit stats are the same as home birth. Gahhh. Shutup silly woman!! There, cleansed now :)
 
Why would all not be well? Baby has a strong hb and is moving around. Ive never called my midwife yet, people panic over nothing.

*goes off to cry and panic*

Edit: Ok rang my mw and she said its fine, she said an upset stomach with pain (esp as I have IBS) is not a problem, she said to stay away from indian food now as a touch of food poisoning can cause contractions but nothing to worry about. Phew.

Hmmm, i was thinking that perhaps baby had just changed position? I don't feel its a MW issue but was just thinking that others will have experienced the same and looking for reassurance.

Rachel, glad everything is ok sweetie. Don't panic. I thought Helens reference was to me to call MW!!

I did WW online, it was great and will def join again afterwards. Was tempted last night becuase I don't actualy eat any of the WW meals, make all my own and so thought it might be ok to do whilst preggers but apparently not!

Han Xxx
 
My Dr couldnt understand why WW wasnt allowed, she thought the diet was amazing when I went to see her at 4 weeks but said it was best to stop if thats what they recommended.

Its still healthy eating after all.

I just re read the post and wondered who Helen was talking to as well but presumed it was me lol. Anyway MW said Im fine and they dont scan for an upset tummy.

Helen, Im hoping for a c section !! Im petrified of child birth and the pain :(

Hi Ladies, Rachel that sounds awful!! I bet that has totally put you off indians. You and baby are ok though so you don't need to worry :)

Han, don't get upset about your weight! I bet it totally evens itself out over the rest of 2nd & 3rd tri! Just enjoy being pregnant and having a few extra treats.

I too cannot WAIT to get back onto WW!! I went to the meetings every week, because it was the knowing that i was getting weighed each week that kept me going. I refuse to put my 4 stone back on that i lost, and can't wait until i am back in full swing on WW.

I was laying in bed lastnight thinking about labour. My god i shat myself haha. I can't handle an epi though, it freaks me out, so natural all the way unless i have no choice!

I really need to order some maternity clothes now. My clothes are beginning to get a bit..cosey on me!

Helen, well done on the swim!!

what's for lunch today ladies? I don't know what to have. Xx
 
Hey ladies

Rachel so sorry you were so poorly after your indian takeaway and hope that you are feeling a little better today. Im appalled that your mw has said you wont be seen now until 35 weeks that just seems crazy.

Han, i saw a mw at my 12 weeks scan and had weight and height done etc so when i went for my 20 week scan it was just a scan and i didnt see a mw. I was quite shocked about it as i saw one when i had ds 2 years ago! Im too scared to step on the scales i should though and i should join you doing sw just to get weight gain under control.

Helen well done on your swim even though you werent keen to do it. If you dont mind me asking (very politely) have you heard lots of horror stories about hospitals etc as you seem very anti NHS pregnancy care and hospital system or have you had a personal bad experience. Im all for us being individuals with our our preferences etc but just curious about why you are so anti hospital births etc.

Rachel i bet you suprise yourself with how strong your pain threshold will be during labour and the best thing is to have a completely open mind about it all and maybe you will need an epi and maybe you wont hun...id stick money on it that you will be amazingly strong! My mum told me after i had my dd that i had totally shocked her as i was such a wimp but despite being 30 odd hours from waters breaking to delivering i managed on only gas and air. i just completely went with an open mind ...no intervention...no tears..no stitches - thank god!
 
oh meant to say i had 20 week scan, then saw the mw at 22 weeks, wont see her now until 28 weeks and then once i hit 30 weeks i think its every other week and if there are any other concerns it will be every week or more.

I asked about gtt test and i was told that when my bloods were done my levels (not sure what levels) were 3.6 and they only test if it goes above 6. I will have more bloods done at 28 weeks and if the levels 6 or above then i will have the gtt test. I thought i would automatically have it because im fat.
 
Hi Jayne,
She said 'normally' if there are no problems, there isnt a reason to see me as they cant tell you much or do anything. I have to say they midwives and system is amazing here and I cant fault it although they dont seem to do much when you do go.
Im high BMI (hence my GTT testing) and have diabetes in the family so shes seeing me at 25 weeks. Also, because Im o rhesus neg she said its best to.
I wont be eating indian again and have managed some lunch but I still have a tender tummy and feel a bit crappy.
I have 19 tattoos and have endured piercings with no numbing but the pain of childbirth is not something I want to go through at all. Im petrified of it completely beginning to end :(

Just catching up quickly. I didn't mean that panic was needed, I'm sure all is fine just didn't want you sitting and worrying about it :) I meant well!
