Curvy ladies

[Tizy]

I didn't realise my bump was that big! Although I went into a shop the other day and the lady asked how far along I was, when I told her she went "blumming heck your gonna be a big lass" I was quite offended! I'm carrying it all on my belly an I do feel huge BUT worried cos we've still got 17 weeks to go!!

The bedroom will be lighter still soon as my electrician friend is gonna puta 3 bar spot light up instead of that central shade light!

Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone. Xxx

Thats quite rude of someone who doesnt know you to say lol. Id have been mortified although Ive got to say Id rather be massive and still ahve 17 weeks to go and shock someone than tell someone Im 23 weeks and have hardly no bump. When I sit down first thing in a morning, looks like theres nothing there just wobbly fat

Bit concerned about the wind pains Im getting as baby has been quiet and not moved much today and I feel nausea too. Weve ordered take out which might not do me any good!

Hmmmm maybe keep an eye on that Rach,not sure what it could be! My baby has been very quiet today too, was worried earlier becuase I overdid it yesterday and have been really achey, and so went on the doppler, all is fine and bubs must have just turned or something. Try not to worry.

Take out sounds lush! I'm making pork and mustard burgers with wedges for tea.

My lappy is pissing me right off, all the buttons are sticking and aren't working properly. Its taken me 10mins to type this out! Any suggestions please??

i know you can replace the keyboard sometimes, or just plug a normal keyboard into the usb if you dont wanna do that, only really works if youre at a desk tho

 

[Cherrybinky]

Oh dont say that Han Ill be panicking now. Its definitely wind related to my IBS and I only get it on and off when Ive eaten, not nice though. Its not pain, its just like a bit of wind is trapped on my left side low down which is where your colon and lower bowel are.
I away next weekend so dont want to be suffering with wind !

Id give the keyboard a clean Han, you can replace them if its really bad and theyre not too expensive but the labour is.

Im having tooth problems again too! Driving me mad when Ive eaten, tooth, gum and all ! Bloody things have been worse since the dentish messed with them!

We just watched Ghost Busters, Spiderwick Chronicles and now were watching Karate Kid 2.

Hope youre all having a good evening!

ive gone officially insane. someone asked what bedding id chosen for my nursery and i realised i hadnt even known id need any. its obvious when you think about it, but it wasnt something i was looking out for! Had a look and I reckon we just need a cot bumper and sheets. will sleep in a grobag thingy. found a bumper for £5 inc postage on ebay - theyre crazy prices new!

That sent me into a whole omg im not ready thing. theres loads of little bits to do in the house, but theres plenty of time to do em. i just need to make a list and get rich to do em. like under the sofa needs cleaning, i know, ive gone insane.

made a wishlist on mothercare and have a load of stuff watched on ebay now, calming me down

Hi all - well again I have missed tons since Friday!
Itzy, The nursery looks really lovely and has made me desperately want to start mine! Need to have a major sort out first though as the room is currently my office...

Rees - an update as requested - I queried the need to be induced and the mw said in Diabetic women the placenta can get damaged the further you go (she used a different word but can't remember exactly) so obv baby can suffer as a result. They like to induce at 38ish weeks.... after discussing what this entails I quickly realised there is nothing at all natural about this process which is a real shame but I do feel that they wouldn't do this unless necessary - I asked about the risks to Beanie and me and she said that we will both be closely monitored so nothing "should" happen. We are going to discuss it again nearer the time and I will do some more reading up - Helen has given me food for thought but I do think that they wouldn't advise unless necessary... more reading required though....

 

[Mrs B mum2b]

oh an d Helen, please stop panicking as I haven't bought even one thing yet and you are making me panic!!!
I think I will be more inclined to start spending after my scan on 11th August....

 

[sunshine623]

Rachel, I get the same kind of pains sometimes, too. Feels awful and scares me for a little bit, but then it always seems to end being gas. Just had a bout of that this morning actually. Ugghh! I'm sure everything's fine, just pregnancy messing with us.

I'm with Rachel on the bump. When I tell people I'm 5 months they look at me like "where's your baby then???" lol But Han, you're bump is lovely, and strangers really should mind their own damn business anyway.

My hair dresser is 37 weeks, and she was complaining about how hard her bump is now. Says it feels like if her belly stretches any more, her skin will surely rip! Freaked me out, but I guess surely our bodies can manage. I hope!

Maybe that's how my stress started. We must stop the stress chain! I'm ok now, eatin!

 

[sunshine623]

Helen, don't panic! Remain calm. I get in that state of mind at least once a week it seems. Like I have no idea about this or that, and I don't know what in the world I'm going to do with a baby when I'm left alone with him. We'll all manage just fine, though, I'm sure.

Mrs. B, hi! Sounds like you're going into it with an open mind. I'd hear what they have to say and do your own research, and in the end be willing to do whatever needs done to keep you and baby safe. Of course, I'm in the U.S. and doctors here are all about induction and c-sections and epidurals, so I guess I'm used to it. I'm going to finally ask my doctor what his stance on all it is at my appointment Thursday. Should be some food for thought.

Do you all have birthing classes? Are you going to attend one? I'm still kinda on the fence about it. I do want to at least do a tour of the maternity ward where I'll have the baby. I hear it's really nice, though. It's called the Women's Pavillion and it's next to the hospital, but kinda detached so you're not in there with all the sick people.

 

[Mrs B mum2b]

yeah - good plan! Glad to hear it - I'm gonna eat now so ttfn... x

 

[Cherrybinky]

Thanks Amy, its horrible but I'm sure that's what it is. I also just ate a kebab which will either clear me out or make it worse LOL.

I've got cot duvet and bumper with blanket for the cot as well as grobag and duvet and bumper with grobag for the crib then just grobag for the moses basket downstairs!

[Mrs B mum2b]

Hi Sunshine sorry just saw your post and thaks for your thoughts.... yes we have ante natal classes here which I think we start at about 30 weeks. They are obv not comulsory but I for one shall be going as feel clueless! Also will be doing a tour of the hospital but not for a while yet.... Yours sounds nice though and not too "hospital like"!!!

 

[cranberry987]

Im going to the NCT classes (£190) and the (probably) crappy free NHS ones. The NHS are in the middle of the day so Ill sack em off if I get work in. Or I might go to the first one see what theyre like. the nct start late sept as theyre for nov and dec due dates and i think the nhs ones are nov some time for 5 wks. Im also going to a home birthing group next sunday evening, its monthly and they have a theme each month so should be good.

Mainly going to meet other mums in the area tbh

I found this link of what you need for a baby, not to be used for panicing purposes! https://www.emmasdiary.co.uk/pregnancy/pregnancy-products/shopping-for-a-newborn.aspx rich asked his brother about cot bumpers and he didnt even know what one was - theyre on their third! im sure half this stuff you dont rly need.

 

[Rees]

Girlies, stop the yapping I'm on my phone!

Haven't got a link to the house, it's not online! Luke is concerned that they're not kosher coz they're not online althought they do have 1 shitty webpage, but they've spelt it Cornwall Porpety they just don't know how to work the internet

Han - your nursery is looking lush! Can't wait to sort out our baby stuff now

Helen - we liked a vest in a shop and it said "They shake me" and there were loads of other tongue in cheek stuff, but we never got any in the end!

Now to read the last 2 pages...

 

[cranberry987]

wow thats DARK. love it!

 

[sunshine623]

I don't think our classes are that expensive, but there are soooo many different kinds! I don't know which type to go to. I just got to that section in my What to Expect book, so maybe it will be of some help. I'll have to ask the doctor about that on Thursday, too. I'd better start making a list of questions for him. I've not had many questions so far, but now that it's getting closer I'm thinking of a lot more things I don't know.

 

[cranberry987]

I just keep reminding myself that the baby doesnt know how to have its nappy changed or be bathed, so if i do it wrong he wont know the difference. safety stuff is 90% common sense anyway and I bet you wouldnt go that long doing it an 'unsafe' way before someone told you.

restless again tonight, want to do something but dont know what!

gonna knit

 

[Rees]

Helen, we didn't even have Tegan's cot until she was gone 3 months! It was set up 2 weeks later and she'd just grown out of her moses basket! So I wouldn't start worrying just yet

She now has a cute peppa pig duvet set looking forward to getting her a big girls bed though in the next few months as the baby will need her cot bed!
