Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Inoue]

Ive also got a sports holder for baby and a changing bag for me. Ive wrapped up 15 nappies and 20 maternity pads, thats the amount ive seen most people use .

I need to look into that raspberry leaf stuff, is there a reason why you took capsules instead of drinking tea lolly? X

 

[ttc_lolly]

I hate tea! And someone told me it didn't taste very nice so I imagine I would of probably puked if I'd attempted the tea x

 

[Inoue]

Lol, oh right! . There I was thinking it was due to a swatty medical reason! Is there a certain amount were supposed to not exceed? Kind of like two cups a day or one tablet? X

 

[ttc_lolly]

Haha no, I'm just odd and don't like tea. Bleurghh

If I remember rightly, most of us did it like this;

one cup (or teabag) per day at 32 weeks
34 weeks = 2 cups
36 weeks = 3 cups
38 weeks = 4 cups per day

But it's up to you really, I don't think you should exceed 4 cups a day though. Capsules, you aren't supposed to take more than 3 a day so I slowly built up to taking 3 a day from around 36 or 37 weeks x

Think ill be giving this a try myself, but will be defo using the capsules. A lot of people I know drank the tea and said it was god awful tasting lol I really cannot tolerate anything that tastes that bad so just choking it down isn't really an option for me, it would just make a return journey!

Still not sure if im to be induced (will find out at 36 weeks) but I guess that it cant do any harm to take it anyways, every little helps.

I took raspberry leaf capsules last time, my labour progressed very well and quickly until she got stuck! I was wanting to use it this time as I heard it can help with a c section too, but i cant as I have had a c section before.

i put in a pack of nappies- think i might take some out that will free it up a bit!

Lauryn- hope you get Yarmouth booked and have a great time! Might be fun to drive through Jaywick on your way back, it starts off ok and then gets worse finishing with the caravan park! lol

x

 

[Sarahcake]

This Jaywick sounds very much like my home town of Plymouth haha! Alright, until you drive past a certain point :S

Im itching to do my hospital bags now, but I still dont have a hospital bag lol May pack a suitcase and then repack a bag once I get one lol

 

[Inoue]

Lol, whats the hold up on getting a bag sarah! Id pretend to pack my bag untill you get your main bag .

Yeh id take a few nappies out scally, you 'may' need more than 15 but the hospital shops sell them huggies with a bit cut out for belly button for a fair price.

Thanks for info list lolly . I like my herbal tea so I may give it ago at 32 weeks then increase as and when. If I find the tea rank, do you get the tablets from Holland and Barrett? X

 

[ttc_lolly]

Thanks Ally, I hope so too! The park we wanted to go to has sold out looking at other places in Yarmouth now and if no joy there, we'll look at places in Kent. Damn you Jaywick!!

 

[Inoue]
