June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Boo44]

Boo yep I totally know what you mean, I'd definitely feel the same way now if I had a girl instead of DS and would be worrying at the thought of never having a son. I think a lot of it is linked to the general sadness of this being the last baby, I'd forgotten how magical and emotional the first scan and seeing the little wriggling baby for the 1st time is, and then it dawned on me after that it was likely to be the last 12 week scan I'll ever experience! Its quite hard when you really think about it!

Aww yeah hun you're so right it is really sad isn't it! Three was always our number so this little one will be my last of everything - sob!

You can never understand how amazing it is to have a little boy that loves you back so completely until you have one. Just as I'm sure you can never understand what it is to have a daughter until you have one. Which is why I would love to experience both in an ideal world but we all know life doesn't always work like that! (My brother has 4 girls!!!)

I try not to think about this being my last even though I know it's highly unlikely we'll have more, I really want to enjoy it this time around. They say fertility is high after giving birth? I don't know if that means people with pcos too? wishful thinking on my behalf probably!

My dads side are notorious for having girls : my dad = 2 girls, uncle 1 = 4 girls, uncle 2 - 4 girls, 1 boy, uncle 3 - 6 girls, auntie 1 - 3 girls and then my first cousins on dads side have all had girls (5 so far between them!)



boo - you've put it across better than I can, I 100% agree with you.

Is anyone else quite tall? I'm 5'9" and having a bit of nightmare trying to find maternity trousers long enough. Last time there were quite a few places did longer length trousers and Next did an extra long which was perfect but most places have stopped. Even leggings are usually too short for me.
I'm hoping Santa brings me some new boots so I can hide my half mast trousers 😂

 

[vaniilla]

Dory - I'm tiny, I'm forever rolling up all my trousers so I'm no help

I'm struggling to find any maternity jeans that are not skinny style!!!!!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

The skinny ones are too bloody baggy!. I wear a size ten. Today my size ten skinny maternity jeans arrived and they just sag all around the bloody knees etc. I hate that. I think it looks so messy. Looks like I have lost weight and can't afford new clothes or something... Ughhh. But they were half price so nvm haha.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

This is definitely our last but tbh right now I feel really really glad about it. After the last two pregnancies ending in mmc I'm not enjoying this one at all and I'm so glad I won't ever have to do it again.

I'm not sure how I feel about never having a girl. On one hand one of each would be lovely but on the other two boys would mean they have each other. I think I won't know how I feel about it till it we know what we're having.

Glad all was well Vaniilla, lovely pic

George at Asda does some good maternity jeans & not too expensive.

Boo, I had pink spotting on & off (also brown) with my son until 14 weeks. He was always fine. Chances are it's nothing for you either, but I understand the worry.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I got some maternity jeans last pregnancy but because bump was so small they were always so big they wouldn't even stay up at all! I think I just got some normal jeans 1 size up nd they did fine.

 

[Boo44]

I just accidentally unsubscribed from this group and have spent half an hour trying to find it!! I had no idea which section of the forum it was in and couldn't find it lol. Usually just come to it via my user CP

Thanks squig, it's just like my discharge has a slightly brown tinge to it tonight when I wipe. It seems to be so random times and I never had it with either of my other pregnancies so it does unnerve me a little bit

 

[Becyboo__x]

I never got any maternity stuff with DS I got huge and I mean huge.. but I just had baggier tops and wore jumpers near the end with it being Autumn/winter when I got to my biggest.. but I still fit in my everyday jeans .. this time I'm likly going to live in leggings and elastic waist trousers difference this time it'll be spring/summer when I'll be at my biggest not looking forward to any heat waves with a big bump!

 

[Starlight32]

Joo, I think that's why I haven't told anyone at work. It's not that I want my pregnancy to be a secret, I more find it difficult to bring up naturally. It's easy to tell those I'm close with since they obviously get excited, but the other coworkers won't have that attachment/excitement.

I'm looking forward to dresses in the spring when our bellies really big!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I'm tall. 5'9" too. I have just ordered some long skinny jeans from new look. Otherwise eBay have some new ones for tall women at around £35. Xx

 

[gaiagirl]

I have some Seraphine maternity leggings that are super long, I'm about 5'7" and have to roll the bottom up a few inches.

I love maternity clothes, I find them so comfy. I have a lot actually, from last time and a few things I got on Black Friday this year as well. I basically wear only maternity bottoms at this point but tops I can still just wear my looser stuff for now.

 

[GeralynB]

Last time I found out at 15 weeks with my son. This time I'm going at 14 weeks on Dec 23 so we can announce the gender at Christmas to family. My sister said it's pretty accurate at that time.

This will be our last also and I feel fine with whatever gender. Although I might be a little sad not ever having a girl but I think I'll get over that once baby is actually here

 

[gaiagirl]

I agree I will definitely get over it, I'm sure I'll have moments throughout life of wondering etc. But my biggest issue right now is just that I'm so convinced in my mind that it's a girl...it almost feels like I should find out just so I don't spend 40 weeks imagining this kid as a girl and then 😮 total shock.

Maybe it wouldn't be a big deal though, maybe my mind would just shift instantly.

So hard to know what is best...I'm feeling my team yellow resolve slipping for sure though.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've got a new aversion. To one of m ly kitchen cupboards it's so bad my mouth waters if I even think about the cupboard and if Carl opens it I start gagging. There's such a rotten smell in there. It's just the cupboard with the sauces and flour and stuff in so I have no idea what's got me so upset but I'm actually starting to feel afraid of the kitchen

 

[joo]

pixie! I feel like that about my slow cooker. Can't even think about opening the lid without that slow cooker smell coming back to haunt me and my mouth filling with saliva before the retching starts! I think I'm going to have to give it away. Although that's not a practical solution for your kitchen cupboard! X

 

[vaniilla]

Pixie - get your oh to check there's nothing in there causing the smell and then maybe stick a car air freshener thingy to the outside?

I can't stand the smell of most cooked food still, we're going to a restaurant today and I'm dreading it

MIL is over today so we're going to be telling her we're having another baby.

 

[joo]

I was sick again this morning Can't decide if it's because I was talking about my slow cooker or if it's because I stayed in bed longer than usual this morning.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I'm ok with restaurants but can't stand food smells in the house at all.

There's definitely nothing off in there. It's just a combination of all the flour, pepper, sauces and seasonings in there I think. But an air freshener is a brill idea!

Joo I can't stand my slow cooker either but I've just put it away where I won't have to look at it
