Due In May :)

[Jary]

Good to know you're on track Powell! I think you'll be fine too...you've managed so well with your GD that baby will be fine

We all have a busy few weeks ahead!

I agree Sass - they tend to be wrong by all accounts at least 50% of the time but I guess they work on the basis that occasionally they are right! I hear far far more stories of them being wrong than right anyway!
Mind you if the baby is big you get a bigger initial weight loss lol!

 

[Sass827]

Wouldn't that be nice?!

 

[Hann12]

Wouldn't that be nice?!

You have to find the ray of sunshine in every situation lol

 

[Jary]

So true Hann!

 

[pinktiara]

My dr said all 17 lbs is most likely all baby placenta water etc and I will probably be lighter than I was before i got pregnant so thats a bonus

 

[Powell130]

Was gonna start the RLT today, but opted for a pregnancy blend. Sounds like it may be pretty good! I'll know in about 20 minutes lol

 

[Jary]

Let us know how it goes Powell

 

[Powell130]

It's really good!! Kinda spearminty and has several good for pregnancy things in it

 

[Jary]

I've tried different teas to normal tea but never got along with them! I still have peppermint tea in the cupboard but can't face drinking it! I would like to try a fruit tea at some point but for now, good old normal tea remains my favourite

Glad you're enjoying the tea tho!

 

[Sass827]

Where did you find rlt Powell? I tried Walgreens and they looked at me like I was nuts.

 

[Hann12]

Sass - not sure if this link will work but here you go:

https://m.walgreens.com/mt/www.walg...a-bags/ID=prod6043912-product?un_jtt_redirect

Maybe buy online if the shop doesn't have it?

Seeing someone for my back later yay!!
How's everyone else today?

 

[Jary]

Sounds good Hann! What will they do? Or will you not know until you see them?

Yet another disturbed night for me at least I'm getting some practice in for when baby arrives! On top of the pain I had some very sexy (not) boob leakage. Hasn't happened much recently but seems to be coming back. Never get it during the day!

I am so ready for baby to be here! I don't mind the colostrum or the waking up every couple of hours I just want the pain to go away. It stops if I lie on my back but obvs can't do that for very long.

Anyone got any tips for getting comfy? I have my body pillow which does help to an extent but doesn't really help the pain.

 

[Sass827]

Thanks Hann! Jules said the same. Not sure why the store didn't have it.
Dylan is starting to wake up when daddy leaves for work -5:45! Boo me! I hope this isnt a trend. Today is my last scheduled day of appointments outside Of my house. I hope I don't get any more. Yesterday, I went to my appointment in flip flops and felt very unprofessional but I have no choice. My shoes don't fit!

 

[Hann12]

Jary - not really sure what they will do today but just hoping for relief of some kind! I've not got any great tips for keeping comfy at night as I'm in the same boat, last night I put a huge pillow rather than a small one between my legs which eased the pain a bit. I'd play around with pillows and see. It is good practice for being up with the baby though lol. Although so annoying when people say to you to make the most of the time you have left and sleep loads when you can't sleep!

Sass - I'd just get it online - amazon probably do it too, I get virtually everything online though! I'd forgotten about swollen feet, mine are okay still for now but probably because the weather is still fairly cold. When I was pregnant with DD at 36 weeks it was in the 30's so really hot for here and my feet, ankles and hands were swollen. It only lasted as long as the hot weather though. I hope the appointment goes well - I think people would understand a pregnant lady wearing flip flops too.

 

[Powell130]

Sass - I got the pregnancy blend from the organic section at Kroger They have regular RLT as well.

The pregnancy tea has Organic Raspberry leaf, Organic strawberry leaf, Organic stinging nettle leaf && a proprietary blend (whatever that is lol) with spearmint leaf, bitter fennel fruit, rose hip, alfalfa leaf & lemon verbena leaf.

It's really tasty!

 

[Hann12]

The blend sounds significantly nicer than straight RLT! I am starting the tablets tomorrow as I'm rubbish at drinks!

 

[Powell130]

it's really yummy! i'm drinking my morning cup now

 

[MissMummyMoo]

How did the back person go Hann?

Jary afraid I don't have any hints for sleeping as I haven't slept properly for months it won't be long till we can get comfortable again though

I quite liked the RLT last time but I bought the capsules this time (which can be drank as tea too) but when put it in a cup it looked disgusting so I just took them as tablets x

 

[Jary]

The tea does sound interesting. If it helps with contractions and phase two of labour I'm all for it!
