Thanks Jade....

Can't take hols until Xmas but having read maternity matters I can go on sick leave without it affecting my maternity. Maternity only starts early if you are off sick after week 36 which is when I was finishing. Had a good chat to my deputy head today and she said if I need to then I should go to the doctors and the senior management will support me. It's good to know because don't think I will last till Xmas, just too big and tired. Can't cope with the physical demand of such a large area. On a positive note, having been an ogre to the wild things yesterday, today was much better children wise. They were calm and engaged and only one of the three behavioural children played me up. Smiffy I got through a whole class of guided writing this am and most could hear initial sounds (whoop, whoop!) Glad you are feeling better too and bean is just right : )

Abstersmum glad you not feeling ill but sorry about the blood tests....keep well x

Happy single figures to those reaching 31 weeks - feel left out waiting for Sunday when I'm 30 weeks....
Sorry for those feeling ill, hope it gets better soon

On a different note, had my first boob leak last night! Anyone else had the golden liquid thing?

Millward, I've been leaking golden/ clear fluid since around week 23.

My LO's been having so many hiccups lately! It lasts for such a long time, and I feel bad for her... anything I can do to help them stop?

 

[LittleMrs]

disneydancr - apparently they're normal, no-on knows what causes them but since all babies get them they think it might be needed for development. Bit worried because I'm not sure my LO has ever had them, what do they feel like?

 

[mum2be2011]

disneydancer - according to my midwife there isnt a cure the babies get hiccups once they start practising their breathing and swallowing. Its just the way they deal with it. Its not hurting them it just feels weird for us.

LittleMrs - not all babies react with the hiccups so you wont feel anything or notice them. With my daughter I didnt feel any, with this one it happens most days. Dont worry about it

 

[blessed]

I was just talking about this to my MIL... I feel SO bad when my LO has the hiccups... and I feel like she has them FOREVER! Sometimes I think she gets frustrated after awhile and starts rolling and kicking like crazy, then she stops, and her poor hiccups are still there! My DH said "can't you drink water or something to help her?" lol.. I wish that would work!

 

[mum2be2011]

Just read about this on another thread and it got me wondering.

How did you tell you OH/partner that you were pregnant?

I was rather boring and just told him in a way. I walked into the spare room (OH's office) and asked him if he still wanted to go to France for Xmas. He replied with hell yeah, cant wait. I turned round and said well we arent going anywhere this year and threw the positive pregnancy test at him and walked out of the room. (Think I was still in shock about being pregnant as we had been told that it wouldnt be easy for us to get pregnant, despite already having Phoebe and we had only had one month of not using protection)

We were supposed to be flying to France to spend xmas with OH's mum and his brothers. OH comes from a big family and they are extremely close.

 

[LittleMrs]

Lol - ironically, I was talking about this today with someone. We'd been trying for about 6 months, with no success and I'd decided to go on a diet. So I'd been on weight watchers online for about 2 weeks, having paid for 3 months, and I'd lost 10lb. We just booked our late honeymoon. Also, we were talking about delaying for a few months to try and pay off some debts first.
So the night before the BFP we'd discussed that we thought we'd probably be pregnant this time, just because it'd be ironic.
OH was unwell and in bed when I got up - I took the test and when it was positive I went and crawled back into the bed with him and said, 'honey, I think I can cheer you up a little bit' and passed him the test. He raised his head, gave a weak little 'yay' and lay back down. I pointed out that we'd been right and he said 'well, we know what to do next time then.' It took ages to sink in - think it still is.
In retrospect I think we were fooling ourselves that we weren't bothered that month because we were starting to feel worried. OH had a bit of a rough childhood and has wanted to start a family of his own since he was about 16 (so he says) so he's been thrilled throughout.

Blech!!!!!!!!! I think the sickness has reached the United States! Up all night with a fidgety LO, headaches, tummyaches, and nausea!

And re the hiccups, when babies get older and they have a spout of hiccups, MW told me an old wives tale that its a growth spurt

Morning Ladies

Has anyone got stretch marks from this pregnancy yet? I have on my thighs, hips and boobs from my last pregnancy (with my son, not the mc's) but can't see any new ones. I have been very good this time round alternating between oil and cream (just in case one works better than the other ) I just can't remember if the stretch marks appeared during or after my pregnancy the last time.

Can you ladies who have LO's remember when yours were most noticible? I don't want any more!!!

 

[Jolene]

I remember my son getting hiccups often and also used to wonder if it irritated him. I know it got a little annoying for me. Last night before dinner my tummy made a growling/rumbling noise and I asked my DH if he thought it scared the baby. It's such a horrible sound and it must be much louder within, lol. Poor little bubs.

 

[jms895]

Jolene not yet! FINGERS CROSSED thoyugh I think I will get them very soon as I got tonnes last time xx

I was lucky enough not to get any last time and so far none with this one either but my bump was teeny weeny with corey and although I'm definately bigger this time round its not as big as a lot of 30 weeks bumps out there! I tend to have a big growth spurt at the end, like 37-38 weeks if I'll be the same as last time, which is looking like it is! My bum and thighs are getting much fatter this time, never had that with corey, I'm blaming it on carrying a girl this time instead of the chocolate I've been eating so I guess the chance of strech marks still hovers! x

 

[Jolene]

Thx Jms, was hoping if I was going to get any I would have them by now.

Jojo - you're not my friend anymore, I'm taking you off facebook, lol. I can't believe you didn't get ANY stretchmarks. I was small when preg with Jess but I still got loads But I agree it definitely can't be the chocolate!!!

I didn't get any at all with Eloise until the last week!! If she had come on time I wouldn't of had any but she was two weeks late. Oh well, I haven't got any new ones yet but there is still plenty of time.
