March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

From what I've read on google, I think it's either round ligament pain or the pressure of my uterus on my muscles/ other organs, but it sounds fine so I'm not worried

I managed to eat 2 slices of toast with nutella on for breakfast, and I can now eat yoghurt again yippee things are on the up!!

I love Nutella but at my booking appt yesterday she said that they are now recommending ladies to avoid nuts - including Nutella (this is BAD news, but if its the worse new I get then I am happy with that).

Apparently this is because so many people have nut allergies these days that they are trying to see if avoiding nuts in pregnancy stops this. Has anyone else been told this? Might it be because I have asthma and have tendencies for allergies anyway?

From what I've heard, and I could be wrong, they actually are starting to believe that telling pregnant women not to eat nuts could be the problem. That babies are more likely to develop the allergy because it's never be introduced to them.

"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend that pregnant and breastfeeding women avoid eating peanuts or foods containing peanut products if they, their baby’s father, or other children in the nuclear family suffer from allergic conditions (allergic asthma, hay fever, and eczema), but because there is so little research on food allergies and pregnancy, they withdrew this recommendation in 2008."

I think it's because you already have allergies hun. I asked my midwife the same as I love peanut butter and it's been in and out of the what to avoid list for years now. She said the research suggested it was only detrimental to eat them if you or your partner have allergies that might get passed on, so I'm fine to have them. Obviously for you they suggest avoiding them.

anyone else on the second child and not seeing their midwife again until 28 weeks???? seems ages!!! on the plus side heard LO'S heartbeat yesterday at the midwifes

Also, in regards to the nut question/comment: the doctors say that although the likelihood of your child having allergies goes up if you or your partner have them the specific allergies themselves are not genetic or passed on. If one parent has allergies the child will have a 40% chance of having them as well, if both have allergies the chances go up to 75%. Again, just because you are allergic to cats and shellfish doesn't mean your child will be it just means they are likely to develop an allergy to something.

Hope that makes sense

Sounds like it's really up to the individual parents if it's a good idea to consume nuts. Since there is no research to back up either side with certainty.

Well, I guess I have fallen foul of the changing views - its a small sacrifice to make in the grand scheme of things though.

Thanks for your responses

I'm not sure where you are, but I'm on my 5th pregnancy and I get appointments with the midwife at 16 weeks, 20 weeks (scan plus antenatal), 24 weeks, 28 weeks, 32 weeks, 36 weeks, 38 weeks, 40 weeks and if I'm unlucky enough to still be pg by then 41 weeks!

Sorry you're not feeling well hunni, if you're not sure its preggo related you could go and see the doc. I suffered with dizziness quit a lot last pregnancy, I think due to blood pressure being on the lower side of normal. If you still feel poorly tomorrow I'd try and make an appointment

I just had my nuchal screening results back and they came out with an adjusted risk of 1:16312 Obviously I know it's still only screening, but given that I'm 32 now and was worried about being higher risk that's a great result for me. Another weight off my mind

From what I've read they now don't recommend women to stop eating nuts in pregnancy because of a lack of evidence. It's hard to know what advice to follow sometimes because there are always conflicting views!

Thanks for the advice though

Euck was sick again today
Got my consultant appt tomorow am hoping they will listen into bubs to check alls ok!
Hope all you ladies r doin okay? X

 

[baby_maybe]

They might do, but when I went to maternity triage yesterday she tried to reassure me with the doppler but couldn't hear anything, so I ended up being scanned to check peanut instead! They don't normally try here until the 16 week appointment and even then tell you not to get your hopes up!

Sorry you're still feeling yuck, I wouldn't be too impressed to a reoccurrence of being sick now either

Does anyone else feel like they need a wee ALL of the time? Even when they have just had a wee?

Does that mean that it is getting too cramped in there? Might I "pop" soon?

i get this sometimes not all the time though. sometimes i can wee then as soon as i get back downstairs i have to go again. bit of advice from my last pregnancy is when you wee lean forward that way it takes some of the pressure off you bladder and means it emptys more.
it only gets worse youll be pleased to know. lol
with my last baby once i got to around 22 weeks i was up and down constantly day and night lol xx

Lots to look forward to then!!

My husband says I now have the nose of a blood hound - I can tell what has has eaten a few hours before sometimes!! (i have always been a bit sensitive to smells and sounds though)

I have to empty the bin in our kitchen way more often now - never noticed it so much before - hope other people have not when they have been visiting and it is just my sensitive pregnant nose...
