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

[zephyr]

Vaurissa - Thanks, I think if she says no on Tuesday I am going to just go to my gp. He will, he is a very good doctor! I am actually tempted to just go to him first thing Monday morning anyways. Actually I think I might just do that!
I took an iron pill last night and sure enough was woken up at 5am vomiting!

OH spoke to his nana last night too again about the wedding thing, Hopefully his mum isn't too offended and we can plan something small. We will see.

On the upside, 28 weeks almost that means between 8 and 10 weeks left for me That is so scary!!

Anti - I packed my baby one last week and the past few days I have realised there is definitely not enough stuff for the babies so instead of lugging round 3 different bags I am going to just pack one big suitcase I think.
I packed mine now cos twins and ya never know, better to be prepared than not at all but if it was just a single baby I would probably of done it round 30 weeks

Luci - Glad to hear your OH has things sorted I would phone your midwife though just to be safe.

lol...Im hoping its only 8-10 more weeks for me Zephyr! I had an odd thought, wouldn't it be funny if we had our babies on the same day? Seeing as we share a birthday, that would be just wild!

 

[zephyr]

Haha wouldn't it?!! you are a fair bit ahead of me so it is possible Oh wow excitement just thinking about the birth.....kinda......when I don't think about 'how' they are coming out lol

 

[wavescrash]

Went and got my RHOgam shot (for having a negative blood type) today. The nurse administering it in labor & delivery made the comment, "Maybe I'll see you soon!" Not soon enough lady!

As for packing hospital bags, I'll probably start around 32 weeks. I remember with my first pregnancy, I packed the bag and then wound up messing with it and repacking several times. So I'll do it at 32 weeks just because I can haha.

 

[zephyr]

Oooo I just got my next scan appointment. Wednesday at 8:30!

 

[anti]

Yazzy-that's the same pushchair I'm looking at getting! It's on a good deal at babies r us at the moment so might go get it this weekend while it's still on offer.

I've started making the list for the hospital bags. Will get round to packing them in the next few weeks. Can't believe how quick these pregnancies have gone! I remember us all being poppy seeds!! Haha. Won't be long now and we'll have our babies.

 

[Ems77]

Hee Hee! I really wouldn't want to get on your wrong side today!

The specific day is relative, lol, I speak my mind everyday I think I must radiate it too... nobody in public, cashiers etc... have made any stupid comments to me about the pregnancy or baby, for example, if I say I am not breast feeding, I don't get flack. LOL

Here's some more of baby!

In the second one she is opening her eyes

 

[zephyr]

Oh you would love the silly questions and comments I get from people I both know and dont know Some of them are unbelieveable!
Last night OH told his nana we wanted to keep the wedding small and not have hoards of people round the babies and....omg I feel ashamed to even repeat this cos it was such a stupid thing to say! but she said "Well then, ask the hospital if they will take the babies back for a few hours on that day" WTH???

Talk about resurface all my anxiety about them staying up the road for two weeks.

 

[anti]

Zephyr I can't believe how insensitive that was!! People can't say things like that! Hope it didn't affect you too much. I think I would have been in such a state if someone said that. One of the guys my OH works with asked him if he was calling me a fat b*tch yet... WTH?! If anyone called me a fat b*tch I'd go mad at them! Some people are just unbelievable. Lucky my OH is very protective of me and he told him to back off. Another one of the blokes that works with them also went mad at him and said he couldn't say things like that and threatened to hit him and all sorts. Men huh?! Least I know there's still nice people out there amongst the nasty ones.

 

[zephyr]

ohh my goodness! someone said that?? good thing your OH stuck up for you how bloody rude!! I'd hate to be his partner omg I read that and literally my mouth hung open

and yeah I was thinking more along the lines of how it was a stupid thing to say, I mean even if the hospital did provide a free baby sitting service, who would want to send their kids there?

 

[rjsmam]

morning all...... have woken today feeling really dreadful. light headed, dizzy and un-coordinated iykwm... was afraid i would fall on the stairs. not sure what to do about it if anything, anyone else had this? my head is pounding.

zephyr i really feel for you re the wedding - it's such a special occasion and you should have it the way YOU want it - and yes your nana's comment is a bit on the daft side lol plus i'm sure you will want the babies by your side!

[yazzy]

Zephyr - I couldn't help but laugh at your nan's comment...imagine giving the babies back to the hospital for a few hours lol!!!

Anti - its a great pram/pushchair. I managed to pick up a bargain and got a second hand one that looks barely used at all so really pleased with that. Very easy to put together etc. The only thing to be aware of is the chassis is quite big which could pose a problem if you have a small car. We have a large estate because of the dogs so no pushchair really poses a problem luckily. I love the pram and can't wait to get out walking with the dogs and baby!

I think I am at the start of a cold...thank you OH!! My nose is all blocked up and am sneezing and sniffling this morning. OH had it this week so kind of inevitable i'd end up with it...hope I don't feel too rough though as i'm due back at work on Monday!

Her comment made me laugh. I'd tell her she can ask the hospital about it herself and see just what they'd say!!! Why is the wedding so important to them? It's not like you guys are going to separate if you don't get married along their personal timeline. I'd be going crazy with everyone by now. Good luck.

 

[anti]

Yazzy we have a 7 seater coz of the dogs as well so I doubt I'd have trouble getting in the boot. I think I'm gonna go for that one. Might go get it tomorrow or Sunday.

Zephyr I hope you manage to sort all the stuff out for the wedding. I hate it when people try tell you what to do with your life!

Rjsmam I really don't know. Maybe ring the hospital up and ask. Doesnt sound pleasant so I'd get checked out just in case.

RJSMam do you have any swelling at all? especially in hands or feet?

I dont mean to worry you but your symptoms sound alot like what my midwife told me to look out for with preeclampsia (pregnancy related high blood pressure)

Give your midwife a ring honey xx

 

[RBurnett]

OMG its feels like baby is trying to dig into the cervix to get out....! Got sharp pains down there and back now!

See, I've had that happen to me a few times and I associated it with either my iron being low, being hungry or dehydrated or just needing to relax after overdoing it. Usually doing something about one of those eased the symptoms. But if you're having swelling at all, that's a different story.

 

[wavescrash]

I had my RHOgam shot yesterday (for having a negative blood type, that's what we call it here) and as I was leaving, the L&D nurse who gave it to me said "Maybe I'll see you soon!" I said, "Not soon enough unfortunately!" But uh really? I'm 28 weeks and you're saying see me soon? For my baby's sake, I hope not!

We received another tax return this morning (this time it was OHs) but of course on his way to work it seems as if some belt under the hood of our car is going to go. We can't afford to pay for a tow if it were to go, so he didn't go in to work and we're waiting for my neighbor to get home from work himself to take a look at it. Fingers crossed it's an inexpensive repair. 11 days until moving day and we need all the money we can get.

Last night I had several BH contractions in a 2 hour time frame. It was pretty uncomfortable each time and there was some discharge after one of them. The night before I'd lost part of my mucous plug (it regenerates so I'm not too worried) but with the BH, I got nervous and phoned the on-call doctor who sounded like a jerk and said only to worry if they're 3 minutes apart, keep my feet up and drink water.

 

[RBurnett]

I got a feeling baby will be here early too!!

 

[rjsmam]

thanks ladies - the dizziness has better since lunchtime - have tried to drink a lot although i find that hard with the constant trips to the loo lol. seems worse when i'm inactive..

don't have any swelling & am wondering if it's low blood pressure as i had low readings the last 2 apmnts. could even have let myself get dehydrated last night - i've had a rubbish appetitie & just been picking at sandwiches and things & not drinking enough. i also am guilty of forgetting my vitamins so i bet i'm low on iron too - as i was last pg. gah - my own fault.

oh waves - the bh's sound a bit scary! i've been having them too but not as regular. hope you got your feet up too!

rburnett - it's the weirdest thing isn't it when they poke you in the lady parts - i had that last wk & made me exclaim out loud

cliqmo - glad to hear apmnt went well - sound perfect measuring on target etc!

hope you all having a good friday!
