anyone else got killer heartburn xxx

 

[Elliebank]

Yep me!!! Started getting it about 10 days ago - apparently you get more with girls cos they have more hair.

 

[Twiglet]

Yes and I hate it! I get it from just drinking tea too! Not nice

 

[geogem]

OMG your making me look now!! 24 days til double digits!!

not long now twiglet!!

 

[geogem]

And yes I have killer heartburn too!! dont know about girls having more hair tho!! My DS was born with 4 and a half inches of gorgeous blonde hair but I was definately suffering with him!!

 

[Elliebank]

I think it's more to do with the hair they have on their body (that drops off before birth) - dunno, OH's friend was telling him before I found out I was having a girl, he said if I'm having heartburn it'll be a girl - but obviously yr having a boy so who knows how accurate it is!!!

I don't know about "killer" but I had some last night. But, then again, I ate WAAAAY too much yummy Mexican food, and I think my stomach had a problem holding it all (that's what I get for missing lunch).

 

[geogem]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mexican food!! you just got me drooling over my keyboard!!

guess what i'll be having later!! better not have it before I got for scan as it gives me terrible wind!!

 

[Elliebank]

That'd be funny!!

 

[geogem]

maybe for me - but i dont think scanner would find it funny!!

ewww mexican food makes smelly wind!!

 

[Twiglet]

Mmm Mexican food yummers. Hehe see not long at all till dobule digits

Well I've just had an exciting moment and my housemate thinks I'm odd but ohh well lol...put my heartbeat monitor on (not that you can ever hear the hb as its that rubbish) but it always makes Caitlyn kick, so I put it on today and my belly just did this giant push and the monitor got a huge kick courtsey of my daughter...mehehehe. I waited for her to do it once more before taking it off but how exciting to finally see my tummy move even if it was only a little bit but still

 

[Elliebank]

Oh wow, did you see yr tummy move? That's well good!!! I need to start looking at mine when she kicks. I can't wait till I can see her size 12 feet sticking out!!

 

[Twiglet]

I cant wait for the feet part either! My friend never had it with her little boy and he was quite a lazy mover so hope Caitlyn isnt!

Yeah it moves ever so slightly, more than when you breath and its only a small section of your tummy too so defo knew it was her...there was some force in that kick so I dont think I'll torment her with the monitor again unless she decides to be lazy later

 

[Elliebank]

Ha ha I wonder why it makes her kick?!!

I've posted a question about this in 2nd tri but just wondered if you were all getting a moses basket as well as yr cot & whether you'll be putting the cot or moses basket in yr room when the baby is in with you?

 

[Twiglet]

I was looking my particular monitor up and a lot of people have said the same, I think its cause you have to strap it on where the baby is and she doesnt like having HER space constricted...I can so tell she'll be like Liam already stubborn lol.

Yeah we're having a moses basket for the first few months simply so that we can move it around during the day and put her in it whilst she's sleeping. Ours is being paid for by a relative, I think if we had to pay for it we'd think twice as our pram comes with a carrycot anyway.

It'll be staying in our room for the first few weeks, then we want to get her used to her cot but we dont know how comfortable we will be with having her in a cot in another room / how soon we will do it. We're kinda playing it by ear.

I think the main reason we're having one is because we plan to have the cot in a different room and dont want her in our bed...so a moses basket provides us with something to put her in for the first few overprotective months lol.

There ya go a nice ramble for you...know if only I could do my essays this quickly

 

[Elliebank]

We were gonna put the cot in our room but I think it'll be a lot easier to have her in a moses basket so think we'll do that. The cot & pram is being bought for us & when I looked on Ebay moses baskets didn't seem too expensive (even new ones) so think we'll defo invest in one. Our pram also has a carry cot too but they seem really flimsy!! (from the pictures, I haven't yet scrutenised all the bits of the pram yet in the shop - that's happening at weekend!!)

 

[Twiglet]

Yeah they're not that badly priced at all and they're so lovely in all the different designs hehe.

Ohh looking at the pram and playing with them is so much fun, I have my pram now, tis at my mums and I love it. Glad I tried them all out beforehand though...not sure if Liam is

 

[Elliebank]

Mine will be at my Mum's too & I know everytime I go round I'll be wanting to look at it!!! Which one did you get? Think we're getting the Mothercare trenton deluxe

 

[Twiglet]

I got this one here: https://www.littlewoods.com/rf/p.do...groupId=544635445&pageSize=12&priceOrder=desc

Was amazed that everything came with it for that price! Especially as the other ones I was looking at cost £500+ or you had to get all the components seperatly.

 

[Elliebank]

Wow that's really nice!!! I'll be showing OH that one!! We were looking at the Hauck Traxx Marlin one ages ago, but I didn't like what it looked liked when you used it for young babies led down - but I like this one!!!
