You'll tell them at the birth planning as to what you prefer. Have to do it on time though I don't think they like to leave it too late. I think I have heard it is easier to reciover from a spontaneous birth than from a caesaerean sectio because of the scar.
 
Eeeek, crap weather! It's chillyyyy. :cold:

The footmuff has been officially whipped out. Problem is it doesn't fit right with the Mura! Not sure if you've gotten a footmuff for yours yet Whisper but I'd go for the Maxi Cosi one for Muras because standard fußsacks won't work well in it we've learned. We got the Mura for our second mainly anyway so it's not a huge problem as we'll use the Jeep with Aurora but next winter we'll have to invest in the Mura one I think. Will probably get it used on Ebay or Kleinanzeigen because the new price is a bit hefty.

By the way, what's up with bike riders on sidewalks?! I'm not talking about little kids, but grown adults! When we come out of our little back street it's a blind corner turning onto the sidewalk and one lady flew past us with her bike. Had my husband been a touch faster our baby would have been hit! Then today we were walking and out of no where another lady zipped past us, silent, no bell or warning, and if my husband were a touch more to the left side our baby would have been hit head on! I'm seriously angry about this! What makes grown adults think it's okay to ride their bikes on pedestrian sidewalks, NOT bike paths?! Very dangerous. There's a danger around every corner when you have a baby it seems. Frustrating!
 
Yeah, there is probably some sort of assessment they can do as well. I'm slightly worried they'll dislocate my hips.. stupid hyper mobility. But really, they'd have to be pretty dumb to do that... :O

see thats ONE of the many things they are testing me for asi have dyspraxia and hypermobility is also a common partner to it, was just talking to hubby again and if you think you could do it then no reason i couldnt at least try:shrug: as what ive heartd with c section you cant do as much as natural birth,maybe they would do a test first to see how far the hips could go before doing anything like an apidural etc:shrug:

i havent got my pram yet hun not sure if i will get it yet hopefully will:haha: re the bikes ive only seen them on the bike paths or the side of the path for the bikes anyway:shrug: what does annooy me is that NOBOBDY seems to wear helmets seen one or two but thats it
 
eh some cyclists are really stupid. Especially those who think they can ride on any side they please and complain if one doesnt make space for their ghost cycling.

Oh in the German forum one who had a cesaerean section also got a damaged bladder oh dear, bad for her as she had so many complication in her preganncy(she was on station for 90 days)
Oh helmets are only obligatory for kids , I have one myself after quite some years of not having one, and I am glad about it:)
 
Ups, I thought you were getting a Mura too Whisper! Someone in here is getting one anywho. :p

Yeah, I very rarely see anyone wearing helmets.. usually just older people or professional looking cyclists when I do see them worn. It seems so much more standard to wear them in the U.S. I kind of feel nerdy sporting mine here.:lol:

Within the past few months I learned on shared paths the pedestrian lane is always the furthest from the street, bike lane closest. Seems like few Germans follow that rule though!

Well Unless they push my hips out of the sockets It should be ok for me. What does your thing involve? I guess the last month you can always go on sofa rest to help stop any wear and tear too.
 
Well I guess you have ti find people in the US going by bike at all first :haha: I have heard it is not exactly the most common thing to do in the US.
Also some bike lanes are on the road as well, and most of the time they have a different colour or at least a different kind of tiling . (like here it is often tarmac or it is red tiles as opposed to grey tiles of the pedestrian path)

I'm beginning to wish Germany wasn't so bike crazy and more like the U.S. in lack of bike riders now to be honest.:shock: Then again, where I lived for a while there were many bike riders so it depends where in the U.S. you are. Anyway, my baby was closest ever to being hit YET AGAIN! So, this lady and kid were riding on the sidewalk. The kid was around 8-10ish I'd estimate. Old enough to control a bike anyway. I'm thinking, oh boy, but stupidly decide to trust everything will go fine. The lady passes by alright although a tight squeeze with our stroller. The girl suddenly looks down and every which way except forward and continues riding and I had no time to react as she just about head on crashed into the stroller!!!!! Old enough to know better! My husband got her attention at the last second. So, I give up. Whenever I see a bike rider regardless of age I'm moving OFF the sidewalk with the stroller. These are all pedestrian only sidewalks I'm speaking of too. It's impossible here. Third time a bike rider's nearly hit my baby in a week. :growlmad:
 
Yeah, walking in Greiswald when we were there was ridiculous, being pretty obviously pregnant people would push me off the footpath with their bike when there was a freaking bike lane half a meter away!!! How people think that it's ok to act like that is beyond me...
 
oh kids up to ten year old can ride on the pavement- and kids up to 8 years old have to ride on the pavement. don't know which area you live, but is it like a main street seeing it is without cycle path?

These incidences happened in a couple different areas. Today it was in a residential area with very thin sidewalks, barely wide enough for pedestrians to pass one another. The other two times it wasn't on a main street but a fairly lively one with small shops and bakeries. No bike lane but the sidewalk's a touch wider than the residential ones. There are bike/pedestrian paths lining the main streets and we haven't had a problem on those.. yet. :/ I know kids should ride on the sidewalk but the mom or however the relation was could have kept an eye on her and warned her to pay attention. That was quite dangerous. I don't think bikers should become weapons but at this rate I'm seeing them as such.
 
Anyone else having/had often days of on and off dizziness? It's so uncomfortable and happening a lot the past few days. I know there's not much that can be done about it and it's pretty common during pregnancy but still not so nice. I feel so unbalanced. Even the simplest of things like standing up and walking get me about to fall. I had my blood pressure taken today after the gestational diabetes test and it's normal so I don't know what exactly is causing it.
 
I am not dizzy, but it is really getting uncomfortabkle these days. like the top of the belly feels kind a numb now,(like shaving with shaving cream kinda numb) and it is so much effort to turn from one side to another :haha:
 
Your blood pressure/quantity is still low, I think you probably have a couple of weeks left until it levels out again. I hated it, I often get dizzy anyway, but weirdly for the last two months or so I havent been dizzy at all!!! It's weird being a normal person....

If It becomes a problem talk to your OB!
 
It's comforting to know I'm not alone. Can't wait until this passes! I talked to one of the assistants in the office about it and she didn't seem at all fazed. She just said there's nothing they can do about it. Yoohoo..
 
Yeah, I'd get to the point where I'd wander aimlessly across the room in a daze because my blood wasn't getting quite to my brain fast enough when I stood up :). Like you'd basically be falling over in slow motion, but if you keep putting your feet under you you don't... so you just end up falling slowly across the room until you get to a wall :D
 
Exactly, a very uncomfortable feeling. :/ I find it gets worse at night too although I'm dizzy more often during the day lately as well.
At least my gestational diabetes test came back good. :thumbup: Surprises me how well my body can handle sugar since I think I overdo.
I've been searching for my peanut butter Kit Kats for the past weeks now with no luck. That's just my luck! :cry: I find the yummiest candy in Germany to never find it again. It's probably been discontinued. :(
Oh, does anyone watch "The Voice"?! It's like my most favorite show in Germany EVER! I believe the second season premieres on Saturday but I need to double check that.

Actually I think it's on this Thursday! :D
