Slightly TMI... colostrum can come out clear to begin with yeah?
I just had a pain in my left nipple, looked to see what it was and yeah...clear liquid oozing out...that was a bit odd to see!

 

[Scally]

Sarah- how are you doing this morning? Hows the itching going?

Inoue- how are you doing? hows the upset tummy? pains?

Kellie- how are you feeling now?

[Inoue]

Hi scally! Im doing ok now thanks. My temperature was all over the place by late pm y'day so think I caught a 24h chill bug. Bodily functions all back to normal now, still get mild stomach pains but at least im eating now. Taking everything easy from now on, hate taking a seat back but I think its finally hit me im not as fit as I was pre-pregnancy .

Feel so shit just coming on here and seem to be talking about myself all the time. I really dont mean to sound selfish . I have no idea what pregnancy is like and I have no other friends to talk to. Hope everyone elce is doing well xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Sarah, yes colostrum is clear to start off with strange when it starts leaking isn't it!?!

Awww inoue don't be silly we were all like that first time, some of us still worry about every little thing 2nd, 3rd and 4 th times round too! It's the unknown, plus you're growing your precious little person, so it's natural to worry and want to make sure everything's going ok! Is there a reason that you think you won't reach full term? (sorry if you'd already mentioned it, I must've missed the post )

 

[Scally]

Inoue- huge hugs, glad you are feeling better! I think you do need to slow down a little! You are not being selfish at all, we are here for you to share your worries and sometimes alarming symptoms! Its nice to talk to people who are at the same stage of pregnancy to find out whats normal and whats not, I have found so much help on this little thread alone.

My god my SIL has gone to the hospital for her c section today, and i am climbing the walls! I was so nervous last night i didnt sleep, dont know what I'll be like when its my turn!

x

 

[Inoue]

Bless, you all so nice . I just have an instinct that I wont make 40 weeks, I have never had success with pregnancies, only heartache so im guessing 'something' has got to go wrong and at this stage its pre-term labour. Things just add up, I was in L&D at 21 weeks with contractions but thankfully they settled, now ive had my bloody show, then had diarrhea (turns out to be a bug). I pray and quite confident ill make it to 37 weeks but others around me (parents) are giving me two weeks max :/. Anyway, im going to prove them wrong .

All the best to your SIL scally, how emotional! Your turn next! X

 

[Sarahcake]

The itching seems to be much better today thank you not woken up looking like wolverine had attacked me with his claws over night so that's a bonus

Ally, best of luck to your SIL today! Must be nerve wracking knowin your not far from it being your turn! 2 friends of mine had their babies last night, I'm now insanely jealous haha!

Inoue, please don't worry about what you have said were all here as support, I'm the same as you, never done this before either so I've no idea what's normal and what isn't and it does make you worry doesn't it. But honestly please don't feel bad for coming on here and sharing your concerns with us, your not being selfish in the slightest

Glad everyone's feeling better today!
Good luck to your silver today ally, must be strange knowing when baby is coming rather than awaiting Labour!!

Hubby painted most of baby's room yesterday and it's all starting to come together so I'm less stressed about not having long left now! September's has flown by so far and it's gonna be scary once we hit October!

Anybody have appointments this week? My midwife 31 wk appt. Is Friday!

 

[Scally]

Thats good Sarah! Glad its stopped!

Time- yay for the baby's room coming together!

She has had a boy!!!!!! 9lb 4oz!!!!!!! All the newborn clothes are pretty useless now! lol. I am sooooooo excited!!!!! I want cuddles but won't be going to see them in Gloucester until beginning of October!

x

 

[Sarahcake]

Ooooo how exciting sorting the babys room!! Im so desperate to do that but we dont know if were going to be offered another place soon so will be a waste if we are!

No appointments this week for me, my 31 week appointment with the MW is on monday

Edit: Just seen your exciting news Ally!! Awww how lovely for her and you all! Congratulations on the newest member of your family! Hope recovery is nice and swift for her x

 

[Scally]

No appointments for me either until 34 weeks, would like to know how the fundal height etc is going but no luck!

Ooooh i have had a letter through for the flu vaccination, they are offering it to me in October, but i'm really not keen, what are you guys going to do?

x

 

[time]

Aww yay hope him and mummy are doing well! Is it her first? What a little chunk!!

We wanted to put our house on the market but don't want To be between houses/ rushing a sale through when I'm pregnant! Will wait until next year now!

 

[time]

Will let you know on Friday how my fundal height is catching up!

If they offer me the flu vaccine I'm not going to go for it, really not keen on the idea so going to steer clear!

 

[Sarahcake]

Ive got an appointment for my flu vaccine the 2nd of October, I have it every year as I have Asthma but I cant say im overly keen on getting it this year. I dont know enough about the effects on pregnant women and their babies to be comfortable with it.

The receptionist practically bullied me into making the appointment so I just took it, but I think im going to ask my midwife when I see her monday, see what she thinks about it.

 

[Inoue]

Congrats to your SIL scally

I have my 31 week appt next Tuesday, guess they will ask ke then about the flu jab. Im so torn on whether to have it or not, I can see the benefits as this little bug had me immobilized in bed, god knows what flu would do, but then again; I think ive had flu once in my life . My SIL had the flu shot and so did my friend, there all ok (as is baby). But then that friend had a shot at 20 weeks and she lost it at 22w, there was a possible link between the two but not conclusive. As I said, she had the shot with the next pregnancy (in 3rd tri) and her beautiful daughter is fine . Sorry I cant answer yes or no scally, but I think its safer to have it done now were in the 3rd tri if you wanted it done at all. I think I may avoid it x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Congrats auntie Ally! He's a good weight bless him

I'm not having the flu jab x

 

[Sarahcake]

So it looks like most here are swaying toward no for the jab then? Ill ask my midwife monday and shall share what she has to say about it.

 

[pops23]

Hi ladies!!

I'm back, have missed all of your chats, just been catching up!

I asked my midwife and she said definitely get the jab, so I've got mine booked in but still not sure..

I had my GTT yesterday, it was absolutely fine actually even though I was dreading it, didn't even feel that hungry while waiting but I think that was because I had my sister with me, she's just got engaged so we were scouring wedding magazines The MW also very kindly felt baby and listened it to check all was good after holiday and flying, HB was 144 and baby is still head down, all is good!

How have all you ladies been? have I missed anything major?

I'm really busy with work this week, but need to get my hospital bag sorted, think I will feel better once it's done, and sorting nursery next weekend.

Also - got a new kitten yesterday, Darcy, she is chocolate tortie burmese cross and totally cute, 11 weeks, but tiny still! xx
