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

[Sarahcake]

Mmmmmmm cake....could totally do with some cake....Im horrible at baking though lol

As you may or may not have seen on Facebook, Health Visitor visit did not go fantastically well...

Her issues, In no particular order:

- Im going to be monitored closely for PND because of my family history of abuse as a child, she would not have it to be that I have actually dealt with these issues and dont go throughout my day to day life crying about it and wanting to kill myself like she seems to believe. Told that Logan actually being here will likely stir up all the memories and start off the depression. Is it just not possible these days for people to have been through shit but actually have let it go and got on with their lives? Guess not.

- My flat is apparently too cluttered for a baby, she took offence to a stack of boxes that are in the front room temporarily, which we actually had planned to sort through and shift this weekend. She seemed really skeptical that were actually gonna shift them, like I was telling her this just to keep her happy.

- She walked in and demanded that I 'removed the cats from her sight' as she 'hates cats' Then proceeded to tell me of all the dangers of having them around the baby and asked me when I was going to get rid of them. She didnt seem best pleased when I told her I have no intention of getting rid. Had to justify myself and tell her that I know that they cant be around Logan alone and I have no intention of letting that happen as you can just never be 100% sure

She did seem to perk up however when I told her I was breastfeeding.

I feel totally judged. Like ive been lumped into the bad parent group thats going to need extra support based purely on our meeting today Feel looked down on as we dont have the nice house and we do have a bit of clutter. Just grrrr.

She said all of the above in such a sickly friendly voice too that I would have looked the bad guy had I told her to go fuck herself. Jumped up cowbag.

Gahhhhhhh sorry guys, just needed to rant it out a little!!

 

[Sarahcake]

Also, Woot Kelly and Ally on reaching the last boxes on your tickers!!! So close now guys!!!

 

[pops23]

Sarah she sounds like a b***h, you are going to be a wonderful mum, don't let people like that get you down before Logan even arrives, you just do your best and love your child and he will be wonderful. I have no intention of getting rid of my kitten, just need to make sure she isn't alone with the baby!!

The list of names was on here!! boo, but sticking with it. Kellie we are team yellow, v excited to find out what baby is, been a long wait but I'm excited for the surprise. Boys names we like Flynn and Keiffer, may wait until baby comes out to decide, but only have one girls name

I want cake!! i'm definitely craving sweet rather than savoury right now. And in other news.. have done 3 portions on meatballs and 2 of a chicken and pasta chunky sou for the freezer, yay!!

In other news, my NCT friend who is only 33 weeks went into eaely labour after class on monday night! they have managed to stop it thank god, she should be able to go home tomorrow, she is diabetic so being induced at 38 weeks but 33 is a bit early! going to visit her this afternoon xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah she was a complete cow, getting over it now but she really managed to upset me. Grrrr no wonder people just refuse to see them lol

Ooo I didn't see the list on here lol I wouldn't let it bother you, if you love it, then go for it

You guys are so good with your cooking up meals and things! Im a really terrible cook so I haven't done anything at all yet and not sure I will, think I will jsut have to make sure there's plenty of stuff in to do quick and easy meals.

Omg 33 weeks? Wow there's so many people going into early labour at the moment, its pretty scary really! I hope she, and baby are ok after its been stopped. Think induction at 38 weeks is definitely the best idea if baby is so keen to get out of there and with the diabetes too. Must have been a big scare for her though bless her.

I would put the hv to the back of your mind Sarah if you can they normally have no idea what they are talking about and feel that they have to say something no matter how small just so theycan say they've said something! Don't think they should be allowed to come and judge your house especially when it's not even the cleanliness side its just a few boxes!! Jesus! My house still has a lot of stuff that needs sorting before baby arrives!

Been at drs today as I've had agony in my ribcage all round the right hand side for about a week now, haven't been able to sleep its so bad. I then sneezed lastnight and it became a LOT worse and I was actually in tears at 4am thinking I had broken some ribs. Finally got an appt at 11.30 and drop says I have a severe pulled muscle under my ribcage and until it self heals there is not a lot I can do but take paracetamol. Relieved to find out its nothing serious but very worried I can't take anything after lastnight it was horrendous

 

[time]

Congratulations on the last box Kellie and ally how exciting unbelievable its only a month until babies are here!

I need to start on my freezer meals but we just gave away our fridge freezer and have had to buy a separate fridge and freezer due to the way the new kitchen's laid out, and typical the fridge arrived but no freezer for a few weeks! I love cooking and baking makes me feel all homely and Cosy! And ally slow cookers are a god send especially when you work!! Amazing

 

[Sarahcake]

Ive had a bitch about her to my foster mum over the phone, so weve put the world to rights and I feel much better now lol

Oh god pulled muscles there sound awful! They are bad enough when you pull one in your leg let alone under your rib It may not be medically serious, but that doesnt mean the pain isnt The best thing I can really suggest is heat, warm baths, heat pack on your side as you sleep, that kind of thing It does sound awful though, really hope it fixes itself soon x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Awww Sarah I agree, she sounds like a right ditzy old cow. Take no notice, just do the best to your ability and prove them all wrong. Just because she doesn't like cats does not mean you can't have pets AND a baby! What a fuckwit hope you're ok anyway hun x

Pops - I know Aria is becoming quite popular because of that american teen TV programme 'Pretty Little Liars', I do know a couple of kids Amber's age with that name, but never seen the way you spell it. I wouldn't pay any attention to that list on here, they are all American lists and adverts

Sorry about your pulled muscle time that sounds so sore. I hope it gets better soon for you x

 

[Scally]

Sarah- that is awful! I cant believe the way you have been treated!

Time- sorry to hear about your muscle, shame there is nothing they can do, hope it gets a little better for you.

pops- you sound organised with your meals. And gosh another early labour!

x

 

[time]

Heard of a lot of people going into early labour at the moment is it just because we're subconsciously listening for it?! Not long until full term for most of us though so fingers crossed babies will stay safe in there for now!

 

[ttc_lolly]

I keep thinking that too time, but I think we must subconsciously pay more attention to early labours!?

 

[Scally]

Good morning!

How is everyone?

I have a dilemma- i am going to a friends wedding about 2 weeks after birth, she is such a good friend of mine and I am going to try my hardest to go to the whole thing 2 weeks past a c section and having a little baby!
The thing is she has now invited me to her hen do on the 3rd November! Will be 38 weeks pregnant by then- its in a chinese restaurant so not too bad, also with karaoke and a disco! Its 10 miles away, starts at 8, and in the opposite direction of the hospital! lol. I am thinking the c section will be the week after, and to be honest i was planning on hibernating away from everyone as i dont want to catch anything that means they wont do the op. But then she is such a good friend i should go! HELP!

x

 

[pops23]

I would go, don't see any point in just sitting around waiting to go into labour! That same weekend we're off to doncaster, 4 hour drive away for a wedding for 2 nights, lets have some fun before babies come!

My friends labour stopped so all good and she is going home today, contractions but no dilation or waters breaking so the anti-labour drugs did the job thankfully!!

Had my breast feeding class last night,was really interesting, am really excited to breast feed now despite knowing how hard it will be xxx

 

[kellie_w]

I agree with pops ally, I would still go but have dave on standby to pick you up if need be! Are you really hibenating away?! I'll be making the most of these next few weeks and getting out as much as I can!

Glad your class went well pops, and that your friends labour has stopped. All these early babies are making me feel like I'm actually overdue!

I feel really strange today, really light headed and when I stand I feel like I'm going to faint and my arms go all tingly. Hoping that eating will help! I can't blame tiredness today as my super son slept til 8.15, a huge improvement on 6!

 

[Scally]

Not hibernating as such I just want to be careful that last week before c section as I know they wont do it if you have a cold. So i will go out and about but try and avoid people who are germy! lol
Dave laughed when i said the hen party started at 8, seeing as i am usually in bed by 9! lol.
Glad your class went well pops, and that they manage to stop your friends labour!
Oh dear kellie- that doesnt sound nice, get some food inside you and then see how you feel, hows the hubby? Great about Luke's lie in!

x

 

[time]

Yes I would definitely go ally, think your friend would appreciate it and then if for any reason you can't make the wedding at least you know you made an effort to go to the hen do.

I'm trying to get out and do as much as I can these last few weeks but I feel like an invalid I can't hardly walk without being in agony so I may have no choice but to hibernate haha!

I felt really light headed yesterday Kellie think I didn't have enough to eat or something but feeling a lot better today, could you have low blood pressure?

 

[ttc_lolly]

I would probably just go for the meal and then leave straight after Ally. I do love Chinese food though but it's up to you hun, do you think she'd mind if you didn't go?

Glad your class went well Pops it's good to be mentally prepared for BF'ing to be a bit hard. I don't think I really was, I just assumed as it's natural that it would just come to me naturally. How wrong was I!? Anyway, that's probably what set me up to fail so it's good you're getting prepared all you can

Take it easy today Kellie, hope you feel less lightheaded soon. Eat some food woman!

Happy 35 weeks to Sarah, and 34 weeks for me today too have my MW appt @ 2pm and will be discussing my pelvis pain with her as it's really getting to me now. Could hardly get up out of bed to pee last night I need some adult sized nappies!

 

[Scally]

Happy 34 weeks Lauryn!!!!! Hope your appointment goes well, and she doesnt fob you off- it sounds horrible!

Happy 35 weeks to Sarah!

Does anyone feel like they have gone back to the beginning- to the symptom spotting of am i pregnant or not? Now its symptom spotting for labour!? I am analysing everything- from bathroom habits to twinges etc! Especially since the blood the other night- i think i am so desperate to get the c section scheduled maybe I'll chill out a bit after that...... or not! lol

x

 

[Scally]

I agree about the breastfeeding- nobody prepared me for how hard it was going to be, i seriously thought i was failing at it and at being a mum because she fed so much etc etc, now i know its normal and will hopefully know more about what to expect i wont get so upset about it... well maybe i will- i remember shouting at Dave to grow some boobs after the 4th feed of the night!

Happy 34 and 35 weeks lauryn and Sarah!!
Each week is just flying by now I thought these last ones would drag!

My car failed its not yesterday so ended up paying over £250 which is a pain, especially because we're trying to sell it before baby comes (mini=not very practical haha) going to look at an estate tonight so hopefully can get it sorted in the next week or so.. I don't want to be struggling with a tiny mini and a baby and a dog! Also my hospital bag won't fit in the boot ha!
