Inoue- I use fairy with Izzy especially when she was a baby as her skin was so sensitive she used to come out in a rash, she still does if the clothes havent been washed or washed in something else- like when we stay in hotels whichever side she sleeps her face will have a rash on where its been in contact with the pillow!

Pops- not long for third trimester for you! I was holding off washing until i saw Kellie had then that gave me the green light! haha! I have just put on a load, and have sorted out the rest of the clothes into two other loads (because of colours).

Kellie- oh dear to Luke! The joys of children!
I have gone a bit mad this morning sorting baby clothes, first load in, I also sorted Izzys room ready to put the baby clothes in, sorted her winter clothes and generally went a bit mad sorting sorting sorting! I almost started my hospital bag but reined myself in as that will cause more stuff hanging around and we have the in laws coming soon!
I have my MW app Wed, i have to go over and have bloods done at 9.30 then back again for 2 to see MW as she doesnt do bloods in my local surgery! I am so looking forward to having the fundal height measured and to find out where baby is!
I will try and breastfeed again this time, but not beat myself up about it so much, really for my health I should have given up alot earlier than i did but there is so much pressure! This time I will do it if i can if not i wont worry

Oh no Luke!! Little bugger! I think id have been pulling my hair out by that point!!

Morning all

Lots of previous posts so Ill not attempt to go back and reply to them all one by one, ill leave someone out then feel bad!

Hope you are all good today Dentist for me for the first time in a long time :S Eeek!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Ahhhh good one Luke toddlers are such little angels, aren't they!?

I plan on BF'ing this time, and like you I have a few fears Kellie. It went pete tong last time, I was constantly sore, she wouldn't latch and so I ended up exclusively expressing for 3 whole months until my milk dried up and it was horrible. I'm sure if I persevered I could of done it and still kick myself to this day for not trying harder. I was FF but I do have weight issues now and obviously that's one of the things they say about FF babies DD was supplemented with formula and then we changed her on to it once my milk had gone and she was also quite sicky and aldo has really bad eczema, something I wonder if she'd of had of she wasn't FF because neither of us have eczema in our families. I've got some nipple shields already and am stocking up on that lanisoh cream big time!

 

[pops23]

I'm definitely hoping to BF and will give it a bloody good go! But if it's not to be then will
Get over it, either way am hoping to get baby onto bottles at about 3/4 weeks so daddy can feed too! Xx

Abit of an odd question, but do any of you ladies expect your DH to get up during the night to see to LO? My DH works really long hours and ive told him not to get up and see to baby and i would do it all, kind of think thats fair fair as he's up at 5:30am for work 12 days out of 14. Is that how most couples do it? x


EDIT: Ive moved up a box!!

 

[pops23]

I think DH is hoping that, he's a lawyer and also works v long hours, but am the same time I want him to share in it all, it's a tricky one and I guess we will have to work to find the right balance.

Just been to look at some more furniture this morning, torn between these two.. xxx

I won't be expecting it but it will be nice on the odd occasion OH also works long hours and has to be up pretty early so I will automatically just take most of the slack at night times. I'll be BF'ing too so he won't be able to help out much at the start, unless he he wants to grow a boob or 2!

 

[Scally]

I did with Izzy as some days he has an easier day at work than i do at home! He used to pass her to me to feed and then he'd change her and put her back. This time he will have almost 4 weeks off in the beginning but I have said i want him to sleep so he can be with it to spend lots of time and have fun with our older one whilst I am breastfeeding etc.

Very random thing today, most people say how small my bump is but I had a customer today who said i must be ready to drop soon! When i said no not until November she said that she was huge with her second one too! So many different opinions!

[Inoue]

Im officially in the 3rd trimester!!!!

So happy xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Woohoo Inoue there's only a couple of us now who arnt third tri right? And they are really very close!

Ally, I do love peoples opinions on bumps! They vary so much! There is no way you look fit to drop, I've not got a clue what she was thinking saying that!

 

[pops23]

I'm coming!!! 3rd tri tomorrow and I think Lolly two days after me, has the new thread been started and I've missed it? Hope everyone is well and enjoying the long weekend xxx

 

[Inoue]

Thanks Sarah . Think its more relief on my part. I dont feel quite ready to leave 2nd tri yet but maybe ill sniff around 3rd tri every now and again .

I dont think there are many left waiting for 3rd tri, what a difference from when we started this thread.

Scally, it is so wierd how people compare bumps etc. Im still told im small for gestation and i kind of agree with them. I thought id be WAY bigger by this stage. Were both very diddy x

 

[ttc_lolly]

I'll be joining you all on Thursday I don't feel ready!! Time is seriously flying by, and from what I can remember of the 3rd tri boards with DD it's all about losing mucous plugs, labour announcements and ideas to kickstart it all off

Anyone starting to get uncomfortable at night, or have been for a while? I've been fine up until a few nights ago, tossing and turning, getting up to pee a zillion times, back hurting... the list goes on. I should get one of those body pillows really but it seems so much money to waste to only use it for another 13 weeks

My big girl is 2 in exactly 1 month today and I'm feeling very emotional! God knows what I'll be like on her birthday! They really do grow up so fast

 

[Inoue]

Lol, im the same. Im looking at 3rd tri posts with horror . Im still checking the TP for blood, let alone a mucus plug?! .

Im also having trouble at night, mainly because i cant get comfy, then restless legs starts, then i need to pee, then baby starts kicking off . I dont think there is an answer, weve just got it for the next 10-12 weeks. I have one of those body pillows, i use it as and when, maybe twice a week. I find them very cumbersome and i toss and torn around alot in bed x

 

[Scally]

Yay congratulations Inoue! The third trimester is so different, I still spend my time knicker checking and tp checking! (I used to have it so bad when I potty trained my daughter, she was so used to me checking the toilet roll she'd do it too after her wee! ooops)

I have a body pillow and i adore it! It makes sleeping so much more comfortable for me!

Shall i start a new thread in the pregnancy groups and discussions? What shall we call ourselves?

[kellie_w]

Congratulations inoue! Hurry for third tri! Lauryn, nights are hell at the moment again for me, I feel your pain! My legs itch and itch, then my hips go numb, it's such a effort to turn, and although I feel exhausted I just can't sleep. I'm going crazy! I have a body pillow but that's making my legs itch more! I was awake at 2am this morning, reading about the lion... Thought it was only fair to wake dh to tell him I'm terrified of it as its near me and ally, it's one of my biggest fears and I have been having lion dreams weekly through my pregnancy. I keep expecting to see it going down my road

Ally, I agree you don't look no where near ready to drop. You have a lovely little bump! I had my 28 week appointment, measuring a week ahead, heart 148, bp 116/60 still head down and no problems. don't forget it is bloods at this appointment

 

[ttc_lolly]

MORE BLOODS!? Ahhh I thought I was done with them draining me now waaah!

It's so crazy about that lion being on the loose we are going to Clacton on Sept 14th for a long weekend (one of those £9.50 Sun holidays!) so I hope it's been caught by then. I can't believe they don't know where it's come from... how do you lose a lion and not know about it!? Stay safe Kellie & Ally!

 

[kellie_w]

Yep more bloods! It's the last ones though if you are low risk, so my blood days are over! Dh reckons it has come fom omeone that has a private animal collection, scares me that people get away with this. I mean, seriously a lion?! You can hardly take it for a walk and give it a cuddle!

Ohhhhhh we have moved!!! Oh well, second tri days def over now! X

 

[Scally]

We have moved! I didnt realise kept looking at 2nd and wondering where our thread had gone! Yay to moving!

Kellie- its mad isnt it? How is a lion just out there? and why on earth didnt the helicopter find him? Last night they were telling everyone to stay indoors but today its go about your normal business but be vigilant especially if walking in the countryside!

Lauryn- which caravan park are you staying in? I am so determined to do a sun holiday next year, we did one last year in Cumbria and eloped to Gretna Green at the same time, I liked it but next time will upgrade to a caravan with heating, it was blooming freezing!

I hate bloods! I have booked in for a blood test with the nurse before my MW app, I am dreading it as I will have Izzy in tow so hope i dont pass out!
Yay for good hearbeat, blood pressure and head down for you! What weight was Luke when he was born?
