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

[Jolene]

My feet were so swollen today I couldn't find my ankles

Do you have the phrase "Cankles" in SA?

It's where your calf muscles merge with your ankles... teehee... I've had them for weeks!

Thanks for the sympathy I never had any swelling with my son and thought I'd get away with it this time too. Should I go and have my BP checked today? My doc appointment isn't till Friday and the thought of preeclampsia freaks me out (I don't have any other signs)

Thanks hun! I am liking the sound of it now! You should get commission

Sad news in 3rd Tri today - one of the ladies due in Jan has lost her baby RIP angel baby xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I saw that. My heart goes out to her! Does anyone know why he didn't make it?

ladies that was not good. Violently sick and didnt make it to the bathroom. Not good when your on your own. Should I be worried as dont think it was morning sickness. I havent been sick in 7 years

Susie, I'd go with Lovealittle's advice. Hope you feel better soon hun

LittleMrs - which Iphone? I am so confused! Would you recommend it then to me?

I've got an i-phone 3. Not keen on the look of the i-phone 4. I can film video, it has a camera (but the i-phone 4 one is better), you can load up films and music and then there's apps - there are loads of free apps including facebook, which means you just have to load up the app to check facebook (takes anywhere between 5 -30 sconds depending on reception). Can also check e-mail and the aount of texts/minutes I've used (O2 app). I've never really used a phone for anything other than texting or phoning before so if I use it for all that then it MUST be user friendly!

I'd highly recommend it. (and the star wars app that makes the sound of a light saber when you wave the phone around - just for laughs).

Gosh how sad about the little angel baby. I seriously don't know what I would do in that situation.

On a lighter and much happier note

Morning all nt sure who saw my thread in 3rd tri but just had a call from hospital and they are having clotting issues with my blood so they want me straight in.... bloody stressed now on way to my own hospital and other hospital is liaising with them

 

[jojo-m]

Oh hope everything is ok fraggles, you got my number in case you need it? Keep us updated and hope it's not an admission for you (((hugs))) xx

 

[Fraggles]

Ive just popped your number in my phone Jo, im hoping its just a case of needing to alter my injections and not due to the fall. Baby still not moving much.

Fraggles xxxxxxxxxx

 

[smiffy85]

Sending good thoughts to you fraggles!

Susie have you rang the dr/midwife? How are you feeling??? xxx

 

[Jolene]

All the best Fraggles! Let us know what they say

 

[millward329]

Thanks Smiffy, I rang my mum and she said I wouldn't need to ring the doctor or MW if I could keep some fluid down. Had some hot squash to drink and that seems ok so just trying a little light snack to see how that goes. I think it may be the chicken korma I got from Sainsbury's so hoping it will pass soon.

All the best Fraggles x

Hi all im back home, baby is doing ok, had a scan and CTG and heartrate was high for a while but fell into a good pattern. I have to watch movements but had Anti D and seeing midwife in 2 days also had more bloods done to see whats happening with my clotting. Guessing I might here from my haematologist again.

oooh scan is showing baby is measuring ahead on all but the legs and estimated weight is 6lbs 7oz

 

[hodbert]

Hey girls, up at 5am when hubby got up to go to gym....grr!!! He's crazy, he's just bought this 90 day fitness workout dvd pack and started doing it a week before baby is here! He seriously thinks he's going to be able to keep up to working out an hour an day wen bubs arrives as well as keeping up to a diet....men! He won't be told though! Anyway, thats me up, but hopefully will sleep again in a bit.

Gosh how sad about the little angel baby. I seriously don't know what I would do in that situation.

On a lighter and much happier note

Hey Fraggles, I saw your thread so have been thinking of you. Glad you went in and that everything is ok. At least its a peace of mind.

YAY for full term. I'm jealous.

 

[Mom 2B]

Yay for full term! wont be long now.

Today is day one of potty training my little girl. She has been bottomless since 8:30am and still nothing. she has sat on the potty a few times but didn't do anything adn IM sure she has to go by now....it 11:30 already.

 

[LittleMrs]

Good luck, Laura.

Leanne - yay for full term, I will join you on Thurs and then I finish work on Friday! (get ready for the happy emoticons)

Jade, glad we could be helpful with the phone - hope you love it as much as we do (get PING - it's free text messaging!)

Suzie - I've had some slightly stomach churning experiences of readymeal curries before too and obviously you're more susceptible at the time - just keep your energy up and I hope you feel better soon.

Fraggles - I'm sorry you've had another trip to the hospital, glad to hear that thins aren't all too bad and I hope they coninue to get better (or begin to get better in the case of the things that aren't better). Not too long now.

I was so sad to hear you all say about the lady who lost her jellybean - I'd forgotten that bad things could happen to the beans now, since we've had so much good news with the early jellybeans being so healthy. I'll admit that I'm not going to read the thread - just hearing about it upset me so much - but I'll be thinking of all of them very much in the next few weeks and wishing that she'd had the opportunity to have the good experience I hope we all have coming (cross everything!). It's so upsetting to think of carrying and bonding with our beans and all the things we know already about their personalities from their moving around and just instinct and then to think that you'd never get to meet.... it's just too awful.

Aww I'm sorry = didn't mean to be unsympathetic. I've been generally swollen ankle-wise the whole time so I guess I've become a bit flippant about it... sorry hun thought you were mentioning it in an amusing way rather than you being worried. sorry again... xx
