Do you? Why do you say that?
My OH has said boy right from the start but I have always said girl!

Looking forward to reading your birth story.

Hey girls xx

Congrats on the little boy kitty.

Patrice - great to hear from you. Shame things had to end because of your knee. Hope you feel better soon.

Hayley -where are ya missus lol. Anything stirring downstairs

Got a midwife app on Monday. Im gonna ask for a sweep as I think my wee man is sitting on a sciatic nerve and the pains I am getting shooting down my bum and legs is unbelievable. Unbearable actually. If I do get the sweep then i might attempt to DTD lol to see if it helps things along. Best tell my OH That i have booked an appointment with him lol. Thinks he thinks i have forgotten what sex actually is. I am just so uncomfortable that its out the question at the minute, but he understands, altho he hasnt ben left to explode IYKWIM lol.

Hope everyone is well xxxxxxxx

Hi Louise, how are you feeling?

Jo - Wow, just read your birth story. Must have been so scary, so glad it was all sorted quick enough and you are fighting fit now. x

 

[hello_kitty]

lol, this is actually our first but we really wanted out first born to be a boy. Starting tomorrow, I have to babysit my nephew for 1 week before school starts. He's gonna come at 6 every morning. I hope I dont have a breakdown. I dont feel comfortable taking care of him, but cant say no to my sister.

if you dont feel comfortable you shoudl be honest with your sister. how old is he

He's 10. Yesterday was my first day taking care of him and it wasnt so bad. He mostly just played xbox. I just dont like dragging him around everywhere and when he's out and about he can get frisky. Its hard saying no to my sister because she's helped me on numerous occasions and I havent returned the favor yet.

Thanks everyone for your congrats!
Susi - I think that looks like a girl too. I have been looking at scan pictures to try to guess boy/girl and I've noticed that boys have a flatter forehead. Yours looks pretty round.

Its only 6:30am and I'm having a hard time going back to sleep. Woke up to use the restroom and baby started moving right after I laid down. Going try and get some sleep right after I'm done typing this.

 

[boxxey]

Where do i find the birth story?

 

[Blondiejay]

hello_kitty - I've thought that with the forehead too, plus I'm loving sugary treats. We'll see! Hope you got back to sleep.

Louise - Must be painful, good luck hope you get your sweep.

Susi i dunno i just think ur scan looks girly and get girly vibes from u! Thanks so much for posting my birth story link (and for reading) i have to type it all by hand on my phone it wont let me copy and paste it. Its what i came on to do!

Ashley thinkin about ur feeding - my mw told me not to swap boobs during a feed, to always offer the same one, and even to go back to the same one next feed to make sure its empty and baby is getting the hind milk which has the fat in and keeps them full. Maybe cassidy is just getting the fore milk and not getting full up which may be why she is waking so often? Just a thought!
Altho georgia sleeps really well in the day then likes to be awake at night too... She was up at 4am not feeding just being awake and not wanting to go in her basket...naughty baby!

Lou i had sciatica too i feel ur pain...strange to feel numb and pain at the same time. Its completely gone now iv had the baby tho.hopefully yours will too. Xx

 

[Blondiejay]

Hi Jo,
I've always thought my scans have looked girl too, eek we'll see!!
I've read that too about not swapping boobs when feeding as there are 3 different stages of milk. There are 3 different stages of milk and the first lot is just to quench their thirst like skimmed milk, after that is the fatty stuff and full of goodness.
I read it in The Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg.
How is little Georgia getting on? Any new pics?

 

[hello_kitty]

Susi- I just looked at my boy's scan pic and his forehead is definitely flatter than your baby's. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Also, out of curiosity, since you're not finding out the gender, how are you decorating the nursery? Are you just going to wait on that?

Hi Jo- How is breastfeeding going for you? I still have a good 4 months to go but already worrying about bf. Are you going to pump at all?

amazing birth story jo

 

[hello_kitty]

Hi ladies! Its almost 3am here and I am having trouble sleeping again. Just got back from a friend's house an hour ago. I have 2 chis and we were talking about them. Most people at the party highly encouraged us to get rid of the dogs before baby comes. They said taking care of a baby and 2 dogs will be too much work. Plus it wouldnt be sanitary for the baby because chis tend to shed a lot and their hair will be every where. My chis do shed a lot especially in the summer no matter what I do. Now I am stressed out because I dont know what to do. Is it possible to manage both human and four legged babies? Did anyone have to get rid of their dogs or planning to once they have babies? If you kept your dog, how is it working out? Thanks

 

[AC1987]

Sorry I haven't posted here in a while been busy!!

Jo I read your birth story wow that was terrible how they were ignoring you and such
And now Cassidy is feeding better, I think she just cluster feeds every few days.


Hello kitty, you know your dogs and yourself better then anyone so if you feel you can manage then go for it, however the first few weeks I would recommend getting help

Soooo I'm finally able to pump more milk, my mom talked me into getting in some formula which I'm NOT happy about but it did give me a period to rest and build up more milk. However I'm a little pissed how my mom dumped my breastmilk I've pumped and just fed formula a few times. Cassidy was so sick this morning from it I think she kept puking Like I have nothing against formula but I DONT want stuff I've pumped dumped or not even fed to my baby I have about 8-9 oz pumped in the fridge so HOPEFULLY my mom will feed that to her not the formula, like I'm ok with it if I'm unable to pump anything or not satisfying her.
Also the bleeding has come back and I'm having diarreah alot... down to my prepregnancy weight which I know isn't good. I can't seem to eat enough for myself its so annoying!!

 

[boxxey]

Well im off to work for 10 hrs......but if my clients wife starts smoking in the house im calling my work to have someone replace me cause everything is making me sick and i dont want someones second hand smoke

 

[Blondiejay]

Hello_kitty, we will be painting the nursery grey and white, then when the baby is born we can add coloured pictures etc.

I think with your dogs see how you get on. You know what your dogs are like.

Ashley, that sucks that your mum threw your milk away. I'm hoping to breast feed but after reading up about it it seems it's more difficult then what I thought!!

I've had a lovely day today at Notting Hill Carnival, brilliant music, great food and such a great atmosphere. I'm at home now and baby is still dancing in my belly! Oh and I've hit third trimester today!!!

 

[skyraaa]

[loobo83]

Midwife wouldnt do sweep today as she says they shouldnt really do it till im due but shes gonna do one next monday for me since its nt my first baby and im having bother with the baby lying on a sciatic nerve. Fingers crossed something happens for ya soon hun.
