Hi everyone Been missing in action as I moved on Friday and then came down with my first ever UTI, it was truly horrific

Everyone I went to pee I had the urge to push and I really did think I was going to lose him at one point I still dehydrated as I haven't eaten since Friday as I have severe sickness, Luckily I have anti sickness pills which is helping me keep the water down but still no food, I feel so so weak.

My nipples have been so sorry and itchy lately too. My husband commented that my nipples are looking huge. Do they go back to normal after breast feeding?

My nipples are pretty much permanently perky and they are slightly longer I guess then pre breastfeeding.

I breastfed my daughter until she was 16.5 months, I am not sure if that makes a difference!

When I was pregnant with my daughter the areola bit of the nipple seemed huge but because my nipples dont really go 'flat' anymore I havent noticed that this time.

yes, my nips will never go flat again. Too many babies used them, they'll be perky forever. I could squirt milk for almost 2 years after I stopped nursing DS(5)--I even squirt the radiologist equiptment who did my mammogram at my 40th birthday appt . she was warned! It is only since the beginning of the year that they were back to normal, then I get pregnant again, lol. I nursed him until just before his 3rd birthday (he's number 5 so my time gradually increased with each child, my last 3 were over 2 years each). Congrats on such a successful experience with your first baby

Thank you

I would love to still be feeding her, my periods didnt return until she was 15 months and I did conceive straight away (from my first ovulation) but it was a chemical pregnancy, I believe because my luteal phase was short because of the bfing hormones.

I desperately wanted a sibling for her and when she seemed to want to wean at 16 months I didnt do anything to discourage her as I wanted to be able to conceive again.

I would love to feed this baby until they were 2

Have you thought of going to your local hospital for iv fluids? Im worried for you as you have had a uti and you are dehydrated (and the first piece of advice when dealing with a uti is drink,drink,drink,drink)

The doc did say on Sunday to go into hospital if I continued being so sick for IV fluids, buts its a lot better now thankfully, just sick 4 times today compared to every hour on sunday

yup! I didn't get AF for the longest time while breastfeedig. I think it was close to 2 years with DS(5) but cant remember. I had calculated once that in the ten year span from getting pregnant with number 1 to weaning number 4 I had about 11 periods. Add that to the ample chest perk of nursing and I found a winning combination. Nursing was great for all of us concerned lol!
btw: Ivy was on my initial list of little girl names for this little bun

Future: you'll bond just fine with little one even bottle feeding! Lots of women do it and they're no lesser a mom because they choose bottle feeding (or have to bottle feed). I admit I would be pretty bummed out myslef not to be able to nurse. I already have dreams about nursing this babe

Yay pink!

43 hours to go til my scan! I have a dr apt tomorrow so hopefully we can get the doppler out again

Hey everyone!

Very exciting to see everyone having their gender scans, can't believe how much we are having a shortage of boys.

Thank you to everyone who commented after my last post about freaking out about my OH not loving the baby if it's a boy, made me feel less silly about my reaction.

Headaches seem to be easing off (mega Yaye!) but now replaced with exhaustion as I'm now fully back at work. Also mega peed off with work at the moment as the office environment is way way too hot as they turned the air con off because people were complaining and it makes me feel light headed and headachey (damm just as they are going too ) so have complained and I am awaiting removal to a cooler office. I'm just annoyed that no one seems to be that concerned about it and my boss just tells me to go home sick, err I don't really want to do that, you have a duty to make sure my working environment is acceptable.

Sorry rant over!

Feel like I've popped belly wise this week as you can really tell I'm pregnant now . Saw midwife on Monday and heard heart beat on doppler, took a while to find as baby was movin around too much. OH mentioned the Doppler I have at home and got told off for having it (big mouth) and how I shouldn't rely on it blah blah.

Ordered a totally cute changing bag last night and only cost £5 as I used Tesco club card points in the exchange to pay for it.

Lovely bumps ladies! My bump looks big in comparison, my belly button looks like it's about to pop!

Wowzers soooo many girls! We have come up with Ruby Skye, love it! Got my 20 weeks scan next week to confirm she is all healthy and still a girl.

Someone said about have gaviscon on prescription.... I have too! I know I can pay for it but I work and as heartburn is a pregnancy symptom, why not get it on prescription?

Hope your all ok xxx
