May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

FutureN - another option is what my doctor prescribed me and that was Lactulose....only used it a few times and have been fine since, perfectly safe in pregnancy and everything.

I haven't got to the uncomfortable feet in rib stage yet as baby isn't that high, I have a long body though so baby has plenty of room before getting there. I did notice a really high kick this morning though!

 

[rjsmam]

hey everyone... hope you're all having a good day. nearly friday - thank goodness!

waves - great shower pics, sound like you had fun. i guess no matter what even people alway fail to rsvp or turn up huh - annoying! am lol-ing at the guests guessing your belly size!

FutureN sorry about the h problems - pregnancy brings such fun doesn't it! i guess i've been really lucky (so far) with constipation - i seem to have the opposite in fact - perhaps i'm too much bran flakes lol.

hoping - i've seen water births on 'one born every minute' and each one looks amazing - i'd defo like one but think my hosp has only one pool & it's first come first served so if you roll up in labour & it's occupied it's too bad.

has anyone considered hypno birthing? i'm terrified of another birth like my first and am think of investing in a hypnp book (classes too expensive!) not sure if it's too hippy for me though...

i just posted on 2nd tri board about round ligament pain - not sure if it's what i'm suffering at nights or not but it's literally got my crying out in pain.

Waves, what a lovely cake !!
I don't know why ppl on't gift diapers as much as they used too.


I can hardly beleive I am a few days away from 3rd tri
I am finding that lil' man is riding high ( helps that he likes to snuggle with his friend placenta who is at the top) so pressure hasn't been bad, but my problem seems to be hemmroids
I watch my diet and try not to strain when going to the bathroom.. yet those nasty things just won't go away.
Last Saturday I was in agony, does anyone have any suggestions ?

First time round I suffered terribly! This time so far so good- beat constipation which was a big factor last time by eating baked beans couple of times a week- all the fruit and veg in world wasn't helping. One thing would be suppository like Anusol which is safe in pregnancy, they have creams etc but the suppository gives only true relief you just have to turn off ick factor in your head!

I have managed to fight of constipation but the silly things still show up
I rang my MW and she said that a warm bath with epson salts for an hour in the A.M & P.M. will help shrink them
Not sure how I will manage a full hour with a toddler

Ever since I turned 30, I have had issues with a 'roid showing up every once in a while. I have always waited it out, so I am useless for help sorry...

Like Bumpin' I too have not seen diapers hardly ever at a baby shower. I adore the idea though, I think I will specifically mention it in my invites! I already have to put in there that we have all the clothes we need for 0-3 months

I think the idea of a water birth is glorious!! I would do it myself, but I am NOT pain tolerant, to the extreme!! I need my epi!

 

[Ems77]

I saw a thread about this and I wanted to start it in here with my fav girls!!

What does your user name mean/how did you come up with it?

Mine is simple and uncreative, it's just my first name, lol, it's definitely unique though

I haven't but there's this mama of 2 who owns a blog I follow that did it with her children and loved it. I'll see if I can find links to her stories about it and maybe that can help you?


I did my 1 hour glucose test today (it's standard here between 24-28 weeks) and my doc should have the results within a week. I also started filing for a leave of absence at work. There's a chance it'll get denied but my doc said she'll sign whatever I need so I'm sure it'll be approved. I'm off the schedule at work as of right now anyway so essentially I'm done working for this pregnancy.

26 weeks today. 3rd trimester next week and I go back for my monthly doctor appointment next Thursday as well. I think after that appointment I start going every 2 weeks? We'll see... I hope so! This "See you in 4 weeks!" thing has gotten very old. Crazy how fast the time is going yet it's going so slow at the same time.

i'd love that if it's not too much trouble....

hope you get that leave of absence approved & yay for no more work... wish i could say the same fingers crossed the results of your test are all ok. i had a trace of glucose in my wee last time but mw said she wouldn't worry til next test at 28wks

Vaurissa i often wondered if that was your name - it's lovely, what are the origins? my username is simply RJ's mam - RJ is my sons kinda nickname (Rory James)

just ran my nightly bath for v sore back.. shock horror.. arrived in bathroom with fluffly towels and my book - it was stone cold.. feel like doing this > it's so cold here at -6 too.. sob sob....

Here's the link, she had 2 entries on it: https://dearbabyblog.com/search/hypnobirthing

Thanks!! We'll see. Work will likely just not schedule me even if it isn't approved because they're pretty accommodating.

Hoping - I love the idea of a water birth! With my son I had my heart set on a water birth but he didn't come after my waters broke so needed to be induced and they would't let me have one
This time round even before I got pregnant I was going to do a water birth, but again I wont be able to because twins. I never knew of any risks with water births?

Vaurissa - my username is the name of a dear old cat I had once but sadly she got run over by a car I think Zephyr sounds nice so wen I cant think of a username its either that or purplepeopleeater lol I think Zephyr suited these message boards better especially since my first posts here were about mc.

My babies are kicking me lots right now my whole belly is twisting and turning. I felt really gross last night, sore throat headache almost flu like but then it eventuated to nothing so I guess its my allergies playing up (my allergy symptoms are very similar to the onset of a flu) either that or it has yet to hit me.

[Ems77]

rjsmam- Thank you My great grandfather's name was Vaurice. It's a feminine version my great grandmother came up with using my Mom's original idea of Marisa. I love the name Rory Thinking on it just now... would you mind (just an idea so far) if I used that name for my baby?

zephyr- Cool! I was really wondering about that! LOL

[bumpin2012]

lol...I think mine is a bit self explanatory...

 

[Ems77]

LOL, could you be bumpin' in 2012 by any chance?? I don't know... I think you were bumpin' in December too weren't you?

 

[zephyr]

rjsmam - ahaha nice! now that's a song I have not heard in a long time! Its funny cos I actually wanted a Z name for my cat and so I looked in the dictionary and it was a choice between Zeppelin and Zephyr.

I'm making home made pizza tonight! I am really excited about this cos I found some jalapeno sauce and bernaise I will be sticking on it along with whatever else I can find. I hope I have olives and I am gutted that I dont have any cashews cos thatw ould of been yummy. Last time I made pizza I made a curry pizza it was fantastic

 

[zephyr]

Hey Vaurissa its funny you mention that cos I actually always read bumpin as bumpin not bump in......but now I totally get the name! OMG do I feel silly now

 

[yazzy]

Rjsmam - hypnobirthing all the way here for me! I can't really afford the classes though because we have the wedding to pay for plus baby bits and pieces but my sister is a qualified hypnotherapist so I am going to get the books and cd's and get her to go through it all with me....I might even get her at the hospital with me when baby is on its way but make sure it is just me and the OH when baby actually makes an entrance! I will let you know what books/cd's I buy incase you also want some. It is a good idea to start around the next couple weeks.

User name - ummm I have no idea where mine came from. I was basically on the site and wanted to post then realised I needed a user name and Yazzy was the first thing that sprung to mine, my actual name is Lucy so not relative to that lol.

I'm off work today on a days holiday, it's my birthday on Sunday so having a lovely long weekend...and although it is bloomin' freezing out there we have blue sky's and bright sunshine

 

[rjsmam]

mmmmm homemade pizza! sounds yummy!!

my good friend has her 12wk scan today after her previous mmc - so can't wait to hear her good news.

wow today i think my hormones are actually in overdrive - there's a chap at work who's been slowly stirring a situation that is uncalled for - basically he's a overgrown kid throwing his toys out of the pram - today it reached a peak & my anger is crazy - red in the face and really raging! i'm usually very level headed so this is very unusual for me... but i feel like embracing it & having it out with him now ooooops
