Hi bobbles. :)

Yeah the fruit tickets get a bit crap and are broken once you get into the 20s. Why I switched mine.

If you google "bump fruit size" there's a list still of fruits for each week.

I think 23 is a grapefruit. :)
 
Cupcake - brilliant stash!! I have loads but perhaps not that many, mine are mainly itti bittis, some AIO bum genius (waiting o receive), some little lamb bamboos as heard they are good for nap times, and I have a few pockets too. I do have flips, they are good, no leaks from my DD in them. I have been using thevstay dry inserts however if I know she's going to nap I add either a hemp insert or a bamboo. The hemp are really absorbent but bulkier but good for naps. The fact that I've had no leaks though is good because I have had leaks in most others. I watched a few videos on itti bittis on you tube and think I had been putting them on a bit wrong (well not wring but not well) so now I'm taking more care i've not had a leak but I tend to change them after 2 hours. I do that the inserts kind of go harder when they are really wet, but it doesn't seem to bother her and they are by far the slimest nappy we have. Some of the others make her look like she had a huge bum! You'll see what I mean when you start using them! But the experiment is going well so far. I have also tended to use disposable liners if I think she's going to have a poopey explosion (teething!) and they are keeping the, stain free which is good.

LP - glad you have been seem and everything is fine with the baby. A physio should really help you :) it does me anyway
 
Thanks Hann.

My bamboo motherease sandy's are my favourites, so I hope I get on with them. They are so soft and lovely. I think they'll be our nap/bedtime nappies. I have 1 LL bamboo and also a size 1 TB strechy bamboo and a sie 2 (the red one on my "fancy" nappies photo)
 
Hi ladies, I've just got back from the Midwife, i've put on 5kg/11lbs so far, i'm happy with that, although it's hard to not feel slightly shocked when you first see the number on the scales :haha:

She made all my appts until my baby is born! I see her 6 more times before his due date, and then she made an extra one for incase he's late so 7 total appt's, that's really not that much considering i'm every 3 weeks till the end of April then every other week till he's due eeeeeee how exciting :happydance:

How is everyone else's days going?
 
ha, i would have loved to gain only 11 pounds so far. i don't even weigh myself anymore.
 
I've gained 4 pounds in 2 weeks!! Don't have a clue why except maybe my baby had a big growth spurt! Eating habits haven't changed, if anything I've got less appetite! Weird!

Finally got my maternity notes sent through and my EDD is wrong by 8 days!! My lmp is wrong and my doctors details are wrong!! Now I have to email them again to get it changed. My hospital admin is so rubbish its unbelievable!!
 
I have been nesting like crazy if its not one thing its another haha im so tired lately ugh I run a decorated cookie business as well as take care of my toddler so at the end of the day im so done. My dr suggested physio for all my joint pain but I just don't have the time so i'll live a few more months and it will be better haha. Apparently after already having a baby everything is much looser hence the pain suuuper!
 
OMG hann!! thats terrible :( How come its took sooo long for you to get your notes???

welcome pixie, do you know what your having (girl or boy?)
 
For some reason my hospital don't give the notes until 20 weeks but then I turned up at 20 weeks and they said they weren't ready and would send them in the post, almost 5 weeks later (and me chasing!) they finally turn up - and they are wrong! Just crazy. I've escalated it to the management team so hopefully I'll get a response tomorrow :(
 
Just dropping by to say hello ladies! All going fairly ok with me, got a bit of joint pain where my left thigh joins my pelvis but nothing major.

Just watching One Born Every Minute and it's making me realise how close we're all getting...scary and exciting all at the same time!

How long have people got until they start maternity leave? I finish in 9 weeks! :)

I do log in everyday and keep up with what's going on but don't often get chance to post - you're my morning read on my phone over a cuppa!

xx
 
Sass my three hour is Friday morning at 9:30. I took the day off work so most of my fasting will be sleeping. I agree it makes me sick not to eat. I hope we pass! I am bring lots of work to do while I wait there three hours. Did your drs office give you any other instructions than just to fast? That is all they told me but I have heard others told to eat a lot of carbs three days before the fasting.
 
Hi Pixie and Jess!

Poppy I've got 9 weeks to go after this one too :) i can't wait!

I don't weigh myself anymore either jtink :-( i think i've gained between 20-26lb but i will just be joining slimmimg world when I recover post partum xxx

Click to expand...

oh thats sooo different to how things work where i live... i got mine at 9 weeks...

Its strange how just different parts of the UK have didnt ways of doings tuff, nevermind overseas lol
 
Morning ladies. :)

Hope you're all well today.

Nice to see you Poppy. Xxx

Hann that's weird about your notes. I live super close to you and got mine at booking in and have to carry them everywhere I go.

Got my 25w midwife today as long as we can drive there ok. Car hasn't moved since last Friday. I also haven't left the house since last Thursday because of the snow. So I'm looking forward to hopefully being back in the office and not working from home.

Have a lovely day. Xxxx
 
I think different hospitals have different rules. I don't have a 25 week midwife appointment, I saw a midwife at the booking in app, 16 weeks, then seeing them at 28 weeks, 36 weeks and 40 weeks. Meant to see my GP at 20, 24, 32 weeks. I think the less they see you the better in their eyes! I don't mind too much as this time round as I am not deemed high risk but I do need them to have my notes right!
 
Oh gosh, I'm so stressed out! :(

I got a phone call from my uni yesterday telling me that, since I handed in my final project in December, that I'm no longer "classed as a student" and they'll be phoning student finance to get any further loan entitlements stopped...I'm now terrified, the last installment is due 3 weeks before baby is here and I was depending on it to pay off debts/not worry about providing for him straight away!

Worst thing is, hubby was told Monday he's on a medical board with the army, and he'll be getting medical discharge next month, so we've got to think about finding somewhere else to live/new job/new baby etc...It all couldn't come at a worse time!

I've contacted the university, because I've still got exams in July (And, until then, won't be given my degree) and I've got a document which says I'm entitled to full student loans, so hopefully it can get sorted...the worst thing is, I'd have just done my damned hardest to find a job to get by, but no one will employ me at nearly 26 weeks pregnant will they?! I feel so worthless right now, and so terrified about our finances :(
 
LP as a pure guess I'm thinking they should give you the loan, if you don't have exams until the summer you are def still a student. Only exception could be that they only count you as a student if you are taking classes? I'm not sure but I hope you get it sorted soon. You have lots going on, make sure you take time to relax. I did hypnobirthing with DD and while it didn't get me through the whole labour it was very good at relaxing me prior to it. You can get all sorts of relaxation CDs so might be worth giving them a try. I always fell into a nice sleep when I listened to them! I need to start to use them again actually as they were really helpful.

Really tired today, already had DDs football lesson (involves me running around with her for 45 mins!) and got friends with toddlers coming over this afternoon. Day should go fast at least but I am feeling it today!
