ttc, this is crazy, but i used to get calf spasms like crazy up until about 2 weeks ago, when i started eating a grapefruit every day. not a spasm since. so weird!

the glucose test stinks so bad, sass! it's not the drink that's bad - it's the sitting around and waiting and getting your blood drawn a ton. blech.
 
Congrats LP! I think a Dog walking business sounds great. My friend runs one and really enjoys it.
Sounds terrible ttc. Hope they go away soon.
Afm, had the 3 hour glucose test today. Such a long time to sit and starve. 2 days til the results come in. Oy I hope I don't have gd! :wacko:
 
I eat 2 oranges a day (major pregnancy craving!!!) so I don't think I'm lacking citrus, but I definitely don't eat sardines/salmon and haven't had bananas in a while (I have some but they're green still)! I like almonds though, I always forget to eat them lol.
 
To the cloth diapering mamas: what do you do for newborns? I've been stocking up on all-in-one 1 size (8-34lbs) cloth diapers, but what if baby is less than 8lbs? Should I get a package of newborn disposables? Not sure what is normally done... I don't really want a lot of newborn size cloth either since they'll grow out of them quickly and they are so pricey...
 
Ttc I got some newborn ones on the cheap xsmall bum genius, 12 of them. I will also be using pampers at the start for the meconium and probably during the night for ease. I then have about 12 small itti bittis and some one sizes, then a load of mediums. I have tended to go forvthe sized ones though as been trying them out on DD and they seem to fit better, although I know every baby is different. But yes if I was you I'd get some disposables or do what Cupcake is doing and use muslins if you'd rather not use disposables.
 
ugh, i was reading a thread about breast-feeding vs. bottle feeding, and some of the women i encountered there are extremely judgemental.

i almost dislike the other threads, as it seems like most people go on there to judge each other. geez, as if pregnant women don't have enough decisions and issues to deal with - now they have to deal with other judgemental pregnant women? no thanks. i won't be visiting any other boards on BNB for awhile. disgusting.

You should come and join the circumcision one; its a laugh a minute over there.
 
Jtink - I saw that thread. People get mean over there. They feel its ok to go further than just giving their opinion.

I always give my opinion but never comment on other people's.

TTC - I have a couple of NB size all in on nappies.

But as Hann says my main plan up until my one size nappies fit is to use muslins in covers up until she's big enough.

I also have some newborn size prefolds and a couple of newborn fitteds.

But I have bought a few packs of disposables for the hospital and while we get settled at home and used to life as parents.
 
Jules - where's the circumcision one??

Take the BF/FF threads with a pinch of salt - they always get heated in the end as people feel so strongly :)
 
cupcake, i totally put something neutral in there, saying that i didn't like the breast is best argument - i feel that what is best for you and your baby (formula or breast) is best.

i got blasted!! totally turned off.

jules, i've seen that circumcision thread. whew. no way i'm joining that. haha!
 
lol.... That is one of the reasons I stay in this thread & the April Babies thread.... All the others that I have tried to be a part of are pretty rude or not anywhere close to experiencing what I am....

There you go Hann, for your reading pleasure: https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/pregnancy-third-trimester/1514537-circumcise-not-circumcise-9.html

The gender disappointment ones are also rather lovely (!).

Yeah really! Reasoned argument done respectfully is fine but tricky to do that when people can't support their view logically or when they're just looking to be insulting. As Hann said, often best to just take with a pinch of salt!
 
Oh thanks jules! I'll take a look lol! I can't get into the gender ones ;)
 
dang it, jules! how did you find the gender disappointment ones! i need a laugh today :)
 
oh my god, just read a couple of the circumcision posts. it really, really bothers me that pregnant women use the "i'm hormonal" excuse to be flat out rude. you're pregnant - you still have control over what comes out of your mouth, hormones or not!
 
i want to snoop in the gender disappointment thread. damn, how'd you get in?
 
You have to request permission but they give it go everyone. The two I had on it weren't in that section though, one was someone asking for positive stories about having boys.anyway it all kicked off and the moderator came in and shut it all down. I'll see if I can find the link to it but it may have been removed.

Have a look at the one on whooping cough as that wasn't the most supportive either (!)
