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

[pops23]

I honestly don't think I've had any braxton hicks, I guess I would know by now? or else I'm missing them entirely! xx

 

[Scally]

pops- i dont think i have had any either with this pregnancy or the last one!

I am so cross, there were 3 teenage boys walking towards me and Izzy using up the whole pavement, i shuffled over a bit but expected one of them to move a bit but no one of them barged straight into me and my bump! I was fuming and snapped at that one- do you think its good to barge into a pregnant woman and a child?!
All three of them looked at me and just carried on walking! I was so cross i felt like banging their heads together!

[ttc_lolly]

I didn't get them at all with DD pops, but have got them this time round. You're not missing out on much

Ally that is shocking little shits! Are you & bump ok?

 

[Scally]

Yeah we are ok, bump felt a little tender for a while but i think i kind of concaved it in a bit as i saw he was going to barge! I was more fuming than anything, i could have seriously ran after them but restrained myself mainly for Izzy's sake! lol

Hows Ambers birthday going?

x

 

[time]

I have a bath every night inoue so don't think that really helps but I think maybe I'm just one of those people that get bad Braxton hicks all the way up until Labour!

The m a forms were very confusing weren't they ally! I just had a quick read but everything seemed to contradict itself!
That is terrible ally I'm glad you're okay, so scary being pregnant I'm always on edge that someone is going to barge into my bump as I've had a few near misses in the supermarket, on the train etc.. Some people are so ignorant!!!

Amber's birthday was great, we went to a local petting farm but it was closed so ended up going to a huge play area instead and then went out for a meal. Lovely day, but I'm shattered and my house looks like toys r us threw up in it

We also sold our house today totally unexpected, it's only been up for sale for a week and the people (our first viewers) saw it yesterday evening and then rung the estate agent first thing today with their offer of the full asking price we've been totally laid back and not even really started looking at places to move to yet! So now we are on a mad hunt for our perfect home!

 

[Inoue]

Scally, how arrogant of them lads!! Ive had nothing but niceness since getting a big bump. People have sat up to give me a seat and ive even skipped toilet que's to take priority! Sorry you had a bad experience

Lolly, glad Amber had a great birthday! And double happiness that youve sold your house - congrats!

Well ladies, looks like we should get booked in asap for this whooping cough pandemic, best time is to get it done between 28-32 weeks so were all either on the limit or over it. They are however doing the jab up to 38 weeks due to severity of the mutation. Hopefully ill get hold of a nurse today to see if there doing any clinics, im not missing this one out xxx

 

[Scally]

Congratulations Lauryn! Thats fantastic! What a quick sale! Now panic stations!

Yay for Ambers birthday, glad you had a good day, love the toys r us threw up in your house! haha!

Have just read in the Daily Mail that doctors are now going to offer the whooping cough vaccine to pregnant women, as there has been 5000 cases this year, and 9 babies have died (these babies being under the age of having the vaccines). I think its probably too late in the day for us to get it, but it got me thinking would u?

[Scally]

Snap Inoue!!!!!! posted at the same time! x

 

[Inoue]

Lol, were both on ball scally . Im definitely having the jab, its not an active jab and its to be done before 38 weeks so were all ok to have it. I was watching bbc news and two doctors were on there advising ALL 3rd tri women to get it done, its not to be messed with. Also the jab fluid doesnt go direct to baby (which is most ppls worry). We (the mum) absorbes it and we create small antibodies that are passed on to baby just before birth, its said it can take 2-5weeks for us to create the antibodies so best to get it done asap x

Edit: Happy 33w scally!! Xx

 

[pops23]

Thanks for the heads up ladies. Ive got my Mw appt today so will get that booked in ASAP

Ally those boys were knuckleheads!!

 

[Inoue]

Ive just phoned up my surgery and the reception obviously didnt watch the news this morning . I explained what was going on she kind of twigged after that. Im waiting to be called back by a nurse. Just a heads up to others, the jab is a 4 parter. It contains vaccinatione against w,cough/polio/diphtheria/tetanus so if your allergic to any of those groups then you should let your nurse/mw know. Im allergic to tetanus so ill either get a GP to administrate it carefully or need to have a plain version x

Morning!

I have been without Internet and phone the past few days, think bt must be working on my line as the broadband is working ok at the moment... Don't want to speak too soon!! It worried me not having a landline, Internet or no mobile signal, felt so cut off incase I needed to get in touch with anyone in a emergency! Second time in 3 weeks without a phone line so really not impressed. Just got your facebook message ally, as I have said before I'm normally against any medicines in pregnancy but this whooping cough one is making me think twice. I am leaning towards it but still have my doubts. Do you have to book or is your doctor ment to contact you? I was in town yesterday and there was so many children coughing and full of cold, I would hate that my baby got Ill cos I had turned this down. Argggg, decisions!! X

 

[Inoue]

Hi Kellie! What a pain about your internet/phone connections?! Hope it gets all sorted soon, could do without that during 3rd tri!

Im alot more convinced to have this w'cough vaccination against anything like the flu jab as it hasnt been means tested as much as the w'cough vaccination has. USA residents all get the w'cough jab as standard, weve just never had much reason to do the same in the UK untill now. Im still waiting for a call back from nurse about getting booked in. Just read elcewhere that the 10th baby that died was in Ipwich hospital, thats not very far from me. How devistating for the parents x

 

[pops23]

I'll let you know what my MW says about it today everyone

Ladies I need some nappies help! are there more than one newborn size? help! what to get? xx

 

[Inoue]

All the best with mw appt pops . My surgery phoned me back and there getting prepped for the delivery of vaccinations, ill be having mine done by GP.

These are the nappies i have mass supply of (prob about 200+, lol). There also the ones ive got ready in my hospital bag. I do have other branded ones but there the main ones i think you can get.

Hi inoue

Oh now I'm more confused, I just read about the baby that died in Ipswich, that's only 20 mins from me and ally. The mum is pregnant again and heavily campaigning for the vaccine. But when you google, this injection has always been advised against if you are pregnant, but suddenly with no research or testing is now considered safe. I don't know how true this is, some guy in the health department says its a no brainer to have it done... I don't know....

 

[kellie_w]

Good luck with your appointment pops! Look forward to hearing your midwives opinion on this.

From experience don't go too mad on the first size ones, I ended up with loads left. I have 50 size 1 and 50 size 2, all pampers new baby. I have 25 free huggies newborn free from bounty, will might not use them as luke is allergic to any type of huggies nappies. Try sainsburys as they have their baby event and newborn nappies are pretty cheap at the moment. Also, their johnsons wipes are £2.86 for 4 packs, a real bargain. I stocked up with 16 packs yesterday! X

 

[Inoue]

Kellie: Yeh i also heard that it wasnt 'meant' for pregnant women yet the design on the ingredients seem to nearly match the US jabs which 'are' safe for pregnant women. I get more confused the more i read online. Ive heard more pro's than cons but its just another annoying thing to think about! x

 

[Inoue]

Useful and reliable source regarding concerns on the vaccination. If you scroll half way down there is a video to watch, its about 6 mins long but its full of information

On a side note: Just looked at how much Disneyland Paris is for when Reimi is over 3yrs old and its alot cheaper than i thought! Think id go more for me though x
