***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

I think we should post nursery piccies on here so we can get all broody over each others. I want to get the jungle set from Mothercare and was thinking of getting some Noah's Ark canvases from a local shop. Still to decide though. First antenatal this afternoon, so exciting

ive seen that jungle set its lovely, we have the special delivery bedding and my friend has got us the special delivery changing box, its got buses and trains on them

I love the idea of posting nursery pics. But im not doing mine until baby is 3 months. Id love to post pics of my little girls room when its done thou. I only have a few things left to put on the walla nd then get the curtains done.l Im soooo excited to show it to her and I really dont think i can wait until christmas. Thats when I was planning to give her then new big girl room., but we will see how long i can wait once its done!!! LOL
 
Millward, I will def post pics of the nursery!

Sar, I had a c-sec with my son so it will just be less complicated to have another one. I am a person who loves structure and to plan for everything so I like the fact that I'll know exactly when baby is coming, lol. So it works out perfectly for me.

Lauren-Kate, what a cutie bump!
 
hey everyone. went to dr today and I have now gained a total of 7.5 pounds. I thought i was suppose to be gaining a pound a week now? Its been 3 weeks since my last appt and i only gained 1 pound! My growth scan will be at 33 weeks but so far measurements have all been normal. They were all normal with my daughter for the whole pregnancy even thou she stopped growing around 30-32 weeks so we will see what happens with my boy! Hope everyone is doing well
 
Hey gals!

Sar, please take it easy. With your history I don't think it's a good idea to over-exert yourself if you want a week off from the hospital. :hugs:

It's so exciting to see progress in the nursery!!! Ours is coming on so nicely :cloud9: Only 7 weeks to go till my c-sec, 49 days :thumbup:

I second that Sar, take it easy! Looking forward to seeing your completed nursery Jolene, I feel like I've been following your progress for months! I've got some bits to finish in mine and will then post pics too.

Hope everything is ok for you Mom 2B. I have gained 37lb so far, but over last month or so its only been about 2lb, so I think things must slow down, although I read this is when bubs puts on most weight :shrug:

Well we had a ncie quiet weekend here, without all the visitors we have had over the last month! I had THE WORST night's sleep last night, though, and am getting so fed up. Went to bed at 9pm after being so tired all day I cld've gone to bed at 7, but held off. Was up literally every hour to pee and then hubby started coughing around midnight about every 10 mins and didnt stop or do anything about it for an hour, by which point I was ready to strangle him! All I said to him was you've been coughing every 15 minutes and you're waking me up, queue major tantrum, him stomping out of bed to get a drink, rearranging/thumping his pillows, then turning over and ignoring me. When I asked him why he was in a mood it was coz I was having a go at him. Hormones got the better of me then and I burst into tears and went into living room to have a cry. He followed me out, all sympathetic, asking me what was wrong....err hello??? You, dumbass!! Anyway, had a big cry about how lack of sleep is really getting to me now, am really uncomfortable all the time and it's all getting a bit much. I didn't mention the impending labour part that is ever-so-slightly freaking me the hell out, but I think he guessed that was it too. Anyway, after some sympathy and hugs we went back to bed to resume my sleepless night. Everything is fine with hubby really, it was just me being hormonal but grr he bugs me sometimes!!

Anyway, enough ranting! :hugs:
 
Smiffy, how is OH behaving now? Hope you are ok
Hodbert sorry you had a crap sleep last night, hopefully tonight will be better
Mom 2b lucky you! I have put on nearly 2 stone, which must of only been in the last few weeks as for about 6months I hardly put on any weight!
 
Hey ladies.

Wwell think I may have slightly over reacted with the hormones aswell but thank you for all the lovely messages. He finally came downstairs and I had finished crying by then but must have looked a bit like a wet weekend cos he asked me what was wrong. I said I was feeling a bit low and him not talking was making it worse. He basically came over and cuddled me better. I do forget sometimes that he can be like this and it hasn't just suddenly started happening since I was pregnant. Hes an only child and can be a tad selfish sometimes!! But the hugs made it better!!! We went out for tea and then to first antenatal class which was fab! xxxx

glad all is ok x
 
I've had a shocking day at work - twilight meeting and being spoken to like a 2 yr old and basically ignored. Get home and having boob pains and braxton hicks and back ache and bum ache and feeling generally POd and rubbish. So OH falls between the crack in the sofas and gets stuck for 10 minutes to amuse me until I feel happy again. Awwww - bit childish but worked. Lol
 
LO was kicking/jumping at regular 3 second intervals for about 5 mins earlier - is this the hiccups I've been waiting for?

Smiffy - what can you tell us about antenatal classes?

Sooooo tired!! Haven't been sleeping well for days now. Just can't get comfortable and then when I do I need a wee! lol

I'm suffering with quite a bit of back ache now as well. :(

How about you? Any more bleeding? Hopefully no more hospital appointments. :hugs:



Do you think it's ok to start drinking raspbery leaf tea now I am 34 weeks??

im ok thanks, no more bleeding and i vow to stay away from hospital for at least a week (got scan and consultant next tues), hopefully my friend is visiting at the weekend.
Not sure about RLT never heard about it til recently maybe ask on 3rd tri boards.
Ive been getting backache, funny lower shockwave pains!! Hope you get some decent sleep soon xxx
 
Smiffy and LittleMrs - yey for OH's coming through!

Naomi - don't say that, that means I'm less than 20 days! Eek!

I'm not sure I'm going to do RLT, is it worth it? Not got a birthing ball either :shrug:

Just put a load of washing on then hung up clean clothes from like a week ago :blush: and can hardly breathe! I need my lungs back!!

That is pretty cool - I haven't done that particular calculation. I know I have 24 more mork get ups. I have 7 weeks and 3 days until my due date, which is..... er time to find a calculator......52 days, which means 31 days until full term - too long! Next milestone is 50 days then 34 weeks (can't remember why - think it has something to do with that was when they talk about your birth plan although my appointment for that isn't until 35 weeks) then 35 weeks and the midwife appointment, then 37 weeks. Need to find a few more milestones to pass the time I think.

Hiccups was weird because I think I've felt them before but just thought I could feel my heartbeating through my stomach - it was only when I looked down and could SEE the movement that I realised it wasn't.
 
RLT helps to strengthen your uterus which helps with contractions and is good to drink anytime during pregancy and of course even when not pregnant.
 
Raspberry leaf tea - I researched (my forte) -now the internet says 1 cup a day from 34 weeks and then 2 cups from 36 weeks moving up to 4 cups max a day by 40 weeks. My midwife says that a lot of the packaging says from 31 weeks but that they would say that because they want to sell the tea. She also said that she was part of a group doing investigations into varying aspects of preparing for labour (a lot of them are around here - there's about 3 teaching hospitals in the area) and they decided to recommend from 36 weeks because it tightens the uterus and could have the side-effect for some individuals of bringing on labour and then you end up with premature babies. She said this was precautionary advice as the chances are slim that RLT alone can bring on labour.

However, it IS supposed to help make labour quicker and more efficient. I'm all in favour of that!
