June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Starlight32]

Baby has had less movement tonight than yesterday night. I know there's a lot of variation at this stage, but I miss feeling her move a bunch!

Angel, I've gotten green ish discharge too, like even in a clump like a boogie. I went to the dr and she checked me out; she said everything looked normal. It doesn't happen too often so maybe she didn't see it, but she checked the discharge she did see and no infection etc.

Tinker belle, what a relief you were able to change the location!

Geralyn, yay for your husband coming around to the name you like!

Pretty sure we are sticking with Hannah for baby girl.

Vanilla how will you manage baby in a tent? I wanted to take Xander when he was little but I wasn't brave enough to give it a go.

We're going to butlins in July but other than packing everything we'll need I don't think it'll be a problem. I hope! I'm really looking forward to it anyway

Hannah is a beautiful name, hopefully she'll be more active for you today

I got my maternity pants from red herring at debenhams and they're spoo comfy!

 

[vaniilla]

We're staying in a pod rather than a tent this time so it should be easier, we've camped quite a few times when ds was small and it's easier to manage then it sounds.

Starlight32 - Hannah is a lovely name


Pixie - I'm sure you'll have lots of fun

Come on scan letter!

 

[Starlight32]

Thanks for the lovely comments about Hannah. We started calling her that already . I'm looking forward to June when she is born.

She was much less active last night than the night before. I guess I was spoiled the previous night with feeling all her movements. When should movements become more regular and less movement would warrant concern?

Thanks for all your supportive comments girls x

Geralyn don't worry for the first 3 months I barely took my son out other than nursery and even in the house he watched so much TV! The cold weather makes it so difficult too, I can't even just let him in the garden because it's so cold and muddy and wet.

We get our keys tomorrow so I am packing and sorting currently. Oliver has been taken out by my best friend, I've looked after her daughter many times but this is the first time she's had him so I'm a little nervous but he was so happy to go!

Ugh I've had my third dream about finding out baby is a boy and in the dream I'm always devastated. The ONLY thing I care very strongly about is a healthy baby and while it will be weird to get used to the idea because I have a very strong girl feeling again and I also come from a family of mostly girls so raising a boy will be a whole new experience, I cannot imagine being so upset. Other than that literally the only reason I have a preference is because this is our last and with a due date so close to my DDs it would be nice to have every single thing we need for this baby already, vs buying everything a second time. If the dreams are meant to prepare me for the news we are expecting a boy they're doing a horrible job because all they do is worry me and piss me off tbh. I woke very frustrated this morning because I can think of many things that would be so nice about a little boy and while it will be a shock I will only be devastated if we get get bad news about baby's health, nothing else. Grrr it's dampening my mood for our reveal even. Now I'm just ready to know so I can stop having such ridiculous dreams. Sorry about the rant just not how I wanted today to start.

 

[mommyxofxone]

miracles i'm sorry about the dreams. i've also been having really whacked dreams but none about baby (Recently anyway) i did have some about baby a while ago, and it was a boy. it was already here and i was pushing him in a stroller with dd at my side. try to ignore them if you can.

i am also a shorty! 5ft here! i can't believe how many of you are also short! nice to know i'm not alone!


and here is my 17+4 bump (yesterday)

Lovely bump! I still have nothing and it's my third !

Miracles- sorry about the dreams, it doesn't sound like fun! I have alot of crazy dreams during pregnancy. It's a good job i'm an unwavering atheist or i would have some questions haha. I dreamed of my m/c before it happened. I dreamed i was pregnant with this baby. My mil also had a dream i was pregnant about the same time (a week before i even took a pregnancy test) She kept bugging us to know if i was pregnant when i was barely even sure myself lol!

I think perhaps that dreams just take feelings (however small) and crazy them up haha. They say it's your brain processing things don't they ? All of my dreams are crazy over the top.


I did also dream i was having a girl this time, If it is a girl i have to admit i might be a tad spooked hahah

Lovely bump! Here's mine from yesterday

 

[jalilma]

So for about a month now I have had this pain on my left side about an inch in from my hip... Sometimes it's worse than other times but it's just always kinda 'there'. Mentioned it to my dr. He said it may be my bowels or muscle.. I feel it's more muscle... Well this morning I woke up with the same pain in my right side.. Except it hurts all the way to my vagina! It hurts to stand, walk ... basically move. It def. Feels like round ligament/some sort of muscle or joint issue. I don't have bleeding or anything else. I guess I'm just looking foward to somebody being like 'yeah that happens to me too'... Ugh this pregnancy has been way more painful than any of my other ones!

 

[karlilay]

I have booked our holiday too, for a caravan in Yarmouth on a Haven site. Baby will be 4-6 weeks depending on when she arrives. I really hope she's a good sleeper else it won't be a very fun holiday lol.

Here's my last bump pic.

 

[GeralynB]

I had that kind of pain but later in my pregnancy last time. But I've heard round ligament pain starts earlier and gets worse with each pregnancy

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've been having headaches and hip pain. My midwife offered to refer me for acupuncture but I declined

I haven't taken a bump pic yet, I meant to start this week. Although at 5ft tall and a size 18 I've got plenty of tum already!

This is number 4.. And if that's true I'm honestly afraid that I will be incapacitated by the time I'm ready to deliver!

Great bump! What app did you use to add the week and fruit?

 

[karlilay]

It's called baby Pics Geralyn... Pink writing

Oh thanks! I have that app. I'll have to look at it

 

[vaniilla]

I barely scrape 5ft, I think I secretly overcompensated because DH is 6'4

Lovely bump pics ladies! being big I think I just look bloated.


I'm getting awful hip pain but having to self refer as my mw said they no longer refer you, is there anything they still do?

I've heard they've scrapped antenatal classes too, we've booked an nct refresher this time but I'm not sure we were in position with DS to have been able to afford them.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

More and more services are being scrapped aren't they. I happened to notice a sign up outside my midwives office informing people that Health visitor appointments were now by appointment only! As in no more drop in services to have you baby weighed etc. Oh deary, I know alot of mum rely on those drop in clinics. I know i did with my first, with my second it was more like "well he is deffo fatter so i wont bother" haha.

 

[vaniilla]

I used the drop in service quite a bit with DS too, it was good to be able to go in and have him weighed and briefly discuss development, I'm too disorganised for appointments!
