That video of the baby bath is amazing, its soooo cute! Natsby sent it to me.
Yes Lia's reflux is bad again, a now even a bit more worrying as she has slowed down on weight gain. She has been weighed today and she has only put on 1lb instead of the 2lbs she was supposed to. that means she is eating less due to the reflux. They have upped her meds and she will be weighed again in two weeks. All worry. It is putting a lot of strain on me as she spends most of the time crying, uncomfortable and i had to carry her upright everywhere. Poor baby
Rashaa how are those smells going? I remember when i was preggers any smell was too strong?
Peace, that is great, no itching!

Sus, I am sorry Lia is not doing too well what did the doctor say? what's the next step to take? Can they do further tests to see what's causing it? poor baby and poor mom. I know you must be worried. Is she spitting after every meal or at any time?

I went to the perinatal doc yesterday and babies are measuring on target at 3 lb 10 oz and 3 lb 11 oz. The only thing is that baby B is having extra fluid in his kidneys they have to monitor it closely but if it doesn't clear up until after birth then he has to get surgery after he's born Doctor said it's a condition that's pretty common with boys and that it usually goes away on its own. I sure hope so!

about the cribs, when I attended the baby care class at the hospital they told us not to use: crib bumpers, blankets, toys, etc inside the crib. Only the fitted sheet and baby in a swaddle blanket with arms out (or in if the baby likes to move too much or he/she is fuzzy). Also to check his/her temperature. It has to be 97 to 99 F (actually 96.8 - 98.6 F) or 36-37 C. Too cold or too hot could be a problem. Usually moms tend to overheat babies becasue they are afraid babies are too cold and what happens is that babies cannot sweat, so it is hard for them to adjust their internal body temperature.
Oh, they said not to make them wear a hat (only if outside where baby is exposed to cold weather) and no mittens (babies need to feel their surroundings in order to learn and develop their sensory skills.
Hmmm what else.... I'll think of something else I am sure.
I am currently reading a book a friend of mine recommended, the Spanish name is: "Duermete Nino" by Eduard Estivill. The name of the book in English (or at least the equivalent of the book) "5 Days to a Perfect Night's Sleep for Your Child: The Secrets to Making Bedtime a Dream" by the same author. He gives pretty good advise on how to correctly teach babies, infants and toddlers correct sleeping patterns. I hope some of you find it helpful.

Wana,
Yay for the good measurements of the babas! Cannot wait to meet them.
Well, with Reflux... there are two types, the vomiting one, and the "silent reflux" where there is no vomit, and Lia has the second one, just acid coming up and down It´s a nightmare as it takes ages to be referred to the pediatrician here, so the GP has been dealing with it. Without the right meds they suffer a lot and we have not found the right balance for Lia yet. I have been pestering GPs so that Lia can see the specialist and have some tests done, and finally, today, the GP said that if the new dose that LIa has been give does not work she will be refered to the pediatrician for tests and other meds
They say they start outgrowing it from 6 moths whent they sit up, go on solids, move more etc, hope they are right I am sick of seeing my poor baby so ill
She gets good days and today is one 
Peace, Bmom, Jen, Rashaa, Crystal, and anyone who I have unintentionally missed, how are you all?
Peace, there is a shortage of midwives here as well, the problem is the NHS in Wales are not budgeting to employ more so although they need more it is still difficult to get in college or the hospital to learn the profession
Maybe as you say I will have to move to London

Hi ladies 
Glad all of the pregnant ladies are doing so well
Sus- I really hope they get things sorted for your baby girl quickly
Wanab- your boys sound like they're doing fantastic!!
Peace, does it feel like your over halfway there? I remember being pregnant with dd and it just didn't feel like a baby was really going to come out
Rashaa, I hope things are going well for you

Thanks Sus..feeling so blessed for each day..just praying we're all ok for full term. I hope the referral for Lia has speeded up a bit - i do appreciate the NHS but the referral system especially for a baby that needs specialist care asap is just too slow. I'm sure you've been told this already but some mummies swear by baby massage on the tummy. Poor Lia, its so painful for an adult i can't imagine what its like for poor little helpless babies
Wana B I'm so sorry to hear about your little boy and the kidney diagnosis. Many times though these things do resolve themselves. A good friend of mine was told her son had a heart defect and the doctors really stressed her, they even started planning operations they said he would need. She kept praying despite all the worry and when he was born they whisked him off to check but he was all clear, had perfect little heart! I'm praying its the same for your little boy. I also think you can take comfort knowing that they're both such good healthy weights. They're strong ones! Thank you so much for the sleep safety info - you've saved me from spending on the unnecessary bedding. My antenatal classes are late in April/May so i wouldn't have known about the bumpers etc. until then. I must try to get that book, hopefully Amazon have the English version.
Rashaa hang in there! Find the thing that helps ease the sickness and even if its a tad bit "unhealthy" if it helps, use it! For me that was soured fruit sweets that i could suck on and Canada dry Ginger ale....drank loads of it. Hope you feel better soon but its a good sign that your lil one is growing nicely
Milty i thought about you when i read somewhere that no one tells you how sore its gets down there after the birth..the lady writing was saying the ice packs bring relief. I must remember to ask my midwife if they have those ice pack pads.
Afm spent the night with agonising cramps..thought it was early labour
but I think it was just really bad reflux and heartburn. No idea what brought it on though This weekend I ordered a Mexican Bola for our girl...its a long necklace with a gentle chime that you wear and as you go about your day the chime soothes baby. I got a plain heart one and I will personalise it with some Rose quartz and a few nice crystals then after she's born God willing, i'll add her birthstone..i thought it would make a lovely keepsake for her. Hopefully she'll wear it too someday when she's having her own lil one

LL i'm not sure but thats what i first thought in the middle of the night..though i read somewhere that BHs aren't painful? I panicked a bit thinking this can't be labour 
It was crazy painful plus the pelvic pain which is worse lying in bed. Got to get some Gaviscon!
I thought you'd like the Mexican Bola. I love traditional Mexican jewellery. There are some very pretty ones.
