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

[jojo-m]

well I'm training to be an adult nurse so I do bank as a care support worker for extra cash, on the maternity wards its quite easy I just take Bp's, temps, pulse etc for moms and babies and assist moms with bathing new babies or getting bottles of milk/nappies, and not forgetting making beds and cleaning rooms. I quite enjoy it actually, I did a breast feeding training so I can support mothers to breast feed and I get to use those skills on the wards, the midwives don't always have time so its hopefully useful to the moms too! x

 

[Jolene]

That's awesome! You'll be such a pro by the time your LO is born. I haven't breastfed or bathed a newborn in about 10yrs, I've probably forgotten how!!

 

[smiffy85]

I haven't bathed one ever!!!! ARGH!!! Lol! xx

Hi ladies,

Forgive me that I have not posted through pretty much the whole 2nd tri... but after arriving in 3rd tri yesterday I can safely say I am back. 3rd tri looks pretty scary as everyone is talking about labour but being only 27 weeks it seems far away still hehe

Hope everyone is well and getting excited??!!

Oh and NaomiCourt, please can you add a pink stork to my name? I am due 11th January and it's pretty wierd looking at the list for the 11th of Jan as everyone appears to be having girls!!! lol Woop Woop!

Looking forward to being a more active member for the remainder of the pregnancy,

Health & Happyness to all

Hi Sez

Same here. My son will be 11 next week.

 

[LittleMrs]

Milamummy - I am disappointed. I'm due on the same day as you and your pregbar says 68% today - can it really be so little? 68% makes it seem ages away!

I get heartburn too, hodbert. Sucks big time.

28 wks tomorrow - the last week has dragged. My friend has been taken into hospital because her waters have ruptured but she isn't in labour - she'll be 32 weeks tomorrow and she's been told the longer she goes without going into labour (or getting an infection) the more chance her LO has - so fingers crossed for her, please everyone: she isn't one of us but could really use all the crossed fingers.

Mmm just ordered a chinese!

Hugs to those that need em

Little man has just filled his nappy 3 times with evil toxic pooh! YUCK!! Bloody teething pooh!

28 weeks tomorrow

I just rearranged the nursery again and got loads of stuff ready I will get photos soon

You ladies do fab jobs and really helped me to BF Caine in the early days when he wouldnt latch well! I am so glad I stayed in and perserveered and we BF till 10 months cant wait to do it again! xx

Woo Hooo! 27 weeks!! Congrats to Jojo and Jolene too! 3rd tri here we go! Which is very good but pretty scary at the same time!

Hugs to all the ladies with cramps and heartburn. Feeling your pain!

Smiffy lol @ you, i've never bathed a baby.. heheee.. Made me chortle!

[beccybobeccy]

Oh dear me I have terrible stitch in my ribs... could it be a rogue foot? What does it feel like to be kicked in the ribs?

Smiffy I have never bathed a baby either... I'm petrified of dropping the slippery little monkey... Would some sort of surgical/rubber glove aid the grip?

Thats an excellent achievement, well done you

 

[Jolene]

It's doesn't take long before you're a pro at bathing baby. Don't worry girls!

LittleMrs, Fx for your friend. I hope baby hangs on just a little longer. Have they given her a steroid injection to mature baby's lungs? Let us know how it goes

Jms, I can't wait to see your pics!

 

[blessed]

I never thought it would be hard to bathe baby.... I must be overlooking something! Just sponge baths until a wee bit older right? *sigh* I'm so unprepared!

Hi Sez

Hey hun,
Must have been something in the air the day we concieved! hehe So happy to be having a girl if I am honest
I'm doing okay thanks, not sleeping too well with pelvic/back pain but seeing midwife on Monday for my 28 week appointment so going to ask about seeing a Physio as I am worried it could be the start of SPD or PGP
How are you doing? It's so strange to be in 3rd tri now don't you think? Where abouts are you from and is this your first baby?
Take care,
xxx

Yep I have the exact same thing at the mo and have had it all week, its defo a foot!

Bathing baby is scary first time but it gets easier. And definately get a baby seat to lie them on, saves killing your back! Also much easier to bath in big bath than little one. You dont need to bath them for 2 weeks at least when they come home!

 

[snowy-willow]

I am so rubbish at keep up with this thread - I really must try harder.

Things are very busy at the moment as I am moving two weeks on saturday so have lots of packing and stuff to do.

Hopefully when the move is done and internet is connected I will be better at keeping up with this thread as I do feel like I am alone and not really made any friends here.

Has anybody else found that people love telling you about horror birth stories? I am terrified enough without hearing horror stories! I know things can go wrong and not to plan but constantly hearing horror stories doesn't help!

I have been getting a stitch like pain a bit this week and did wonder if I was being poked so yay thanks for confirming this

I have a bath seat thing (it looks a bit like a baby bouncer chair!) so I can have both hands free at bath time.

Snowy dont listen to the horror stories its a beautiful experience xx
