Due In May :)

[Powell130]

That is very sad about the baby :/ it always makes me very sad to hear a little one dies i hope you're able to be strong for your friend today Hann, she will need it!

 

[Powell130]

my SIL's GMA gave us a crib last night. Well I think sold, I think her and my dad had an secret arrangement..but I got to looking at it and it's a drop side crib, which have been banned here in US. Even private sales, so how do I politely tell her that dad wont be paying for it? Do i give it back to her even tho she can't resell it to anyone else?

 

[Sass827]

I would call my dad and tell him and make him take care of it.

He's out of town til next week. He went to Maryland to visit my brother. I suppose I can get him to deal with it when he comes back. I txted my SIL and waiting for a response

Thanks for your lovely comments, the baby was born with 2 holes in his heart and a muscle thickening disease around his heart, its extremely rare to have one condition let alone both. Its virtually unheard of in fact so unfortunately just very bad luck. He was a gorgeous little boy and enjoyed the life he did have when he was able to be a bit better at times. Just sad, makes me realise even more that all the discussions over wanting certain genders etc are stupid because really all we want is a healthy baby at the end of the day.
Sorry to bring anyone down, I know its hard hearing about sick babies.

Powell - thats annoying but I wouldn't use one with drop sides either!

 

[Powell130]

Omg poor little guy!! That is very unfortunate

Yeah it was pretty annoying but she was very understanding about it and said just to bring it back. I don't think my dad has paid anything to her yet since he's outta town. A friend of mine's friend has a crib that I like the style of better and it's not a drop side and about a year and a half old they want $120 for it and it's $180 new at Babys R Us. I'm thinking about getting it as long as they still have it. https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12113414

On another note, I had a terrible migraine earlier today and called my doc and they called me in a prescription for Butalbital/Acetaminphoen/caffeine. Generic for Fiorcet. I googled and found conflicting responses on threads. Have you ladies heard of this med or taken it yourself?

They also told me that my iron was a little low. They like it to be at a 12 and mine was a 10.something so they called in a iron supplement.

Ladies just checking in, a big hello from Montreal
Loving the babymoon and have to say I popped big time this week!

Hope you are all well xxx

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Hann So sorry about your friend's baby!

Don't worry about me - I believe my midwife, not the dumb "doctor" ugh.

 

[prolifer]

I have a cot that drops one side, what is wrong with them just out of curiousity? I am close to buying my boy a toddler bed anyway because he's always up before me and calls out and wakes everyone else up.

Had that dream again about finding blood when I went to the toilet and having to tell everyone the baby died

So sorry to hear about the little baby too

 

[Hann12]

Pro it's something to do with possible dropping on the baby and suffocation - google it. I'm sure yours is fine, it was certain ones that were recalled and so they just don't sell them in the UK at all really.

Powell - unless the migraine was ridiculous I personally wouldn't take them, I'd try using natural methods first. Even when I had 2 slipped discs and they gave me very strong painkillers I barely took them, just stayed in pain! I know people that do take stuff though.
Guess depends how bad it is.

Hi eggo hope the baby moon is fantastic!

Off to get my flu jab this morning, then have friends for lunch. Oh and my night nausea is back, been waking feeling really sick

 

[Powell130]

They recalled over 9 million styles over here and after 30 infants dying in them. Getting stuck and suffocating and stuff, they just went ahead and completely banned the manufacture and sell of them, even private sales. So I'm definitely not using it. I wouldn't feel comfortabe with it.

I don't get anything BUT ridiclious migraines, unfortunately :/ I took one and the migraine was gone pretty quickly. I did a lot of googling and I feel somewhat comfortable taking them. Especially since it was my OB who prescribed them. I have only gotten 2 migraines since getting pregnant .. I used to get them all the time .. so hopefully I wont have to take anymore of them. But I feel better having them just in case because tylenol definitely doesn't work and neither does anything else but percocet and I don't feel comfortable taking those.

Hello ladies!

Went back to look at prams and think I may get a graco one as they are light and easy to use and fold neatly for the car. The silver cross one is lovely but heavy and clunky to fold (I can imagine OH cursing at it lol)

Think I may have to rest tomorrow. Was a busy day as a patient almost arrested and if anyone has had TED stockings (for DVT prevention) you'll know they are a pain to get on and I wore myself out putting some on for a patient. Belly started aching but seems ok now I'm home. Still get ligament pain now and then.

Anywho hope everyone is ok. Sorry to hear you're still feeling icky Hann!!

 

[nearlythere38]

Hello ladies hope everyone's well. I had over a week of no morning sickness. Thought it had gone but nooooooo back with a vengeance today n yesterday grrrrrr

 

[prolifer]

Guess I have safe bubs then because we've always had drop down cribs with no accidents. Although we always sleep very close by and I am such a light sleeper it's hard for me to get a good night's sleep at all.

Well I am not sick anymore but it's doing the rounds because my teen has a cough, so my youngest is now ill and my middle child is starting to show signs of catching it too. In the last 4 months we haven't had a single day where someone isn't sick.

The doctor is going to start getting suspicious but what can I do? It just won't go away!

 

[Hann12]

Nearlythere - annoying about the sickness, same thing happened to me! Weird!
I'm really tired over the past few days too as been doing so much. Big chill out day for us today thankfully!

 

[Sass827]

I'm feeling bronchitis coming on. Any tips? I know we can't take medicine? I've been drinking lots of oj and tea but it doesn't seem to be helping....

I got bronchitis very early on and the doc ensured me that a z-pack was safe. I took that and it cleared it up and haven't had any problems.

 

[Jary]

Going for bloods at the hospital today, eek. OH joked that maybe I should ask for another scan if they've got a spare appointment! Would be lovely to see baby again lol

I had dream last night that I found blood when at the toilet so so glad it was a dream.

Aww I hate dreams like that. I swear, as my appointments get closer in time, I get more anxious about making sure everything is still okay. I've got an appt tomorrow - DH & I can't wait to hear the HB again and hear that everything is going well!!! I'm sure that everything is fine for you, too. Being pg can be scary sometimes!!!

 

[Powell130]

I've had a few times where I freaked out because I didn't feel as "bonded" with the baby as days before and stuff. I'm SO glad I got the doppler!! I hope you ladies get some reassurance soon!
