June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Starlight - Hannah is a gorgeous name My mum says I was always going to be Hannah until a few weeks before I came her best friend had a girl and called her Hannah (they hadn't discussed it at all, it was just a coincidence!) That was 33 years ago and it's just as nice a name now as it was then X

Miracles - if it helps I had a very very realistic dream that this baby was a girl, and he is a boy! Think dreams just go a bit whack in pregnancy I wouldn't read anything into them at all

Girls - has anyone else had 'Braxton Hicks' this early? Just this evening my 'bump' has been feeling a bit weird and a bit hard. Not painful at all. I can't remember when I got them with my others but I do think they say you get them earlier the more pregnancies you have?

Boo I've had Braxton hicks for quite a while now!

I think the thing that bothers me the most is it makes me feel guilty having any slight preference at all. I'm just so nervous right now that something will be found wrong with baby and I'm going to feel downright awful for thinking more about gender than I have the health. I should be excited but I'm just so worried now.

When I found out my baby has a kidney problem I couldn't have cared if he's a boy girl or monkey as long as he's ok xx Don't worry hun these feelings are completely normal x

Loving all the bump pics! I still just look fat which suits me for now as I have nearly 4 weeks til my 20 week scan (sorry I can't remember if I've said that already) but I hope I stop looking fat & more like I have a bump after that!!

We were planning on camping in France in August but decided against it, as baby will be at most 2 and a half months.

I'm not sure what to do about a holiday. DH wants to do a caravan Haven/parkdean type thing somewhere not too far as it's much easier than camping but no time seems good to go. March/April will be too cold for a seaside holiday IMO, May/June will be too close to due date and July baby could only be 3 or so weeks old. Then August is out of the question because I'm not willing to pay triple the price. So I think we'll stick with 4 nights at centerparcs in Feb/March just so DS can have had a holiday this year.

Saying that, we did take our son camping abroad at 8 months which I can imagine really isn't any easier.. maybe even a bit harder as he needed more things and was heavier/more mobile and still waking up a lot in the night. It's a tough choice to make!

I have a holiday booked for mid June that I haven't got Around to cancelling yet. Definitely not going away that pregnant haha. Will be no fun at all. And caravan holidays will just be awkward with a tiny baby as I like to cosleep etc. I can't imagine trying to share one of them dinky beds haha. I'm such a fuss pot tho. I took my newborn away to my parents mobile caravan for about a month, it was perfectly fine. However that was 8 years ago. I have obviously got fussy in my old age haha

 

[Lil_Pixie]

We're going to butlins 22nd of July so baby will be between 2 and 6 weeks old. Ideally I'd prefer baby to be at least 3 or 4 weeks but really all they do at that age is sleep and poop. There's so so much for Xander to do and I'm a big kid so I love all the shows too

 

[Dory85]

I have an appointment booked for my pelvis pain too. I was putting it off because I feel a bit silly while it's still at the 'sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't' stage but I know it's meant to be better to get physio from the beginning if you do need it.

Anyone else been really hit by heartburn? I've been popping rennies like sweets during 7am handover lol.

I couldn't get my work uniform trousers on today so finally admitted defeat and got my ward manager to order maternity uniforms. That will be me in maternity for everything except pyjamas then!

 

[Boo44]

I've downloaded that baby pics app I thought £2.29 was quite steep but it looks good! Then turns out I have to pay even more to get the dates and things!

Anyway here's my bump

And excuse my PJ bottoms lol I put them on as soon as I get in!

 

[AngelofTroy]

Well I have thrush so sore and uncomfortable. My midwife said im ok to use a pessary so i have... But I feel really wrong using it. Has anyone else? It feels risky. And the lab messed up my bloods before Christmas so I had to go back to the midwife today to get more drawn. 1hr round trip walking with a 3 year old in the cold and dark for 5 minutes!! Hmph.

On the plus side we have our scan in the morning!! We're taking Micah with us as noone could watch him and he's so excited bless him. His quote of the day has to be this one, "I think we'll see if it's a girl in the scan pictures.. Because it'll have long hair" made all the more hilarious by the fact that he and his dad have pretty long hair so no idea where he gets that from!

 

[karlilay]

Bless him! I love things kids say!

I had a pessarys yesterday, I had loads when I was pregnant with Madi. I have thrush constantly when I'm pregnant

 

[Boo44]

Haha aw bless Micah! Are you going to find out?

PS it's definitely a girl from the nub!

 

[AngelofTroy]

I think we are going to find out... Eek! It still feels a bit like 'cheating' to me though after being so steadfastly team yellow last time!

Haha welcome to my world!! Good luck xx

 

[tinkerbelle93]

How exciting angel I'm guessing a girl too!

Is anyone else staying team yellow? Feel as though I'm the only one now.

Also where is good to be measured for a bra? I've never actually been measured before but boobs are getting so big and uncomfy now. And how much does a decent bra cost? X

 

[Boo44]

Please somebody join me on the side soon!!!

Mothercare do lots of nursing and pregnancy bras and measure for them too. I always like M&S for bra fittings but I've never been when pregnant x

SUNDAY! I think shall be joining you on Sunday

I'm going to have two very annoyed little boys otherwise!
I have already been told "girls are banned" Last time he was desperate for a sister. Now he will be annoyed apparently (he is almost 8) I think it's mostly because we have a three bed and now someone is going to have to share. No one wants to share with "the girl"

The price is why we're doing camping but in a pod rather than having to put up a tent, it's scandalous how much they hike the prices in August! I do recommend it.

Heartburn has been my best friend since first tri, it's awful and I can only have milk - rennie and tums makes me feel ill. There isn't much you can do, make sure you're not drinking lots of water in one go and sit up for at least an hour after eating seems the main advice.

Sorry to hear about the thrush, I've never used one before but I can imagine it might be a bit uncomfortable, hopefully you won't have to use them for long.

Oh no, that really sucks when they do that with blood tests - not getting enough, ticking the wrong box and even putting it in the wrong tube is partly why I'm at the hospital for all my tests. I hope they did it properly this time!

Good luck with the scan!
