Sass hope you pass the glucose test xxx

Lovely wardrobe cupcake, does sound perfect. We have ordinary wardrobes but as you say their clothes are so little so do not take up the space very well. We have ended up putting plastic drawer thingys in the bottom of their wardrobes so we can fold stuff up too and have it tucked away.

Jules I can't believe that woman on the thread you posted about nice stories about raising boys...I was furious! Good job the threads closed. I can't believe she would be so negative about raising boys especially when shes never done it and basing her experience on a couple of kids who quite clearly have parents who need a dose of supernanny to help them out or something. Grrr makes me so angry, boys seem to get a bad rap but I wouldn't change my two sweet crazy and gorgeous ones for the world. There are definately some threads on here i tend to avoid as they make me so cross, horrible when people are rude when most folks just want some support.

Are we in thrid trimester yet ladies? Is it 27 or 28 weeks? I'm not sure which board posts to read either anymore 2nd or 3rd but 3rd has a lot of labour stuff so is scary.

I've gotta say I am the opposite of you guys and have found this pregnancy really slow going. I think it's because I found out so early back i august- which seems crazy as that was last summer! I think also just cos I am struggling more this time or so it seems with pain and exhaustion etc and so Iam counting down the days until I meet baby- I can't wait!x
 
Wow Ttcbean you have done a lovely job on his nursery! So nice xxxx

Well done LPJKP you clever girl! Hope it takes off and you enjoy it xxxx
 
LP - my SIL announced she's pregnant too. Only 15 weeks behind us. So happy!
Ttc- great nursery!
Kezz- I feel the same and also found out in august. Feels like forever ago!
 
Kez I agree. August feels forever ago. We found out then too.

And May still feels ages away!! Lol.

But other than the aches and pains I'm enjoying my pregnancy now and loooove preparing for her arrival so I'm happy to have some time left at the moment.

I'm expecting her to arrive in April (I was 2 weeks early and weighed 8lb) so tomorrow when it's February there's a chance I can say "next month might be our last full month without a baby"

Lol.

TTC - your nursery is adorable. :)
 
So my boobs are a bit sore the morning. Was saying that to DH then looked down and noticed there are stains on my nightie!!

Eeeeep.

Night time leaking has started!
 
Ooh cupcake it's not pleasant but exciting that your body knows just what to do and is getting prepared :)

There must be something in the air with our SIL's as mine is 6 weeks behind me too. Last time she was three months behind me, it's nice to have a bump buddy :)
 
Haha, it is good in a way.

I didn't know whether to feel excited or horrified! Lol.
 
LP, well done on the website; hope it generates extra income for you and isn't too much strain for you with all the walking!

TTC, must be great to know that the nursery is all done now and so far in advance. I'm jealous as we have most of the things now but they're all stashed in a cupboard and still in their boxes. My maternity leave starts next week (hurrah!) so I can get stuck in then with the unpacking/sorting.

Kezzie, I know! Just outrageous how some people speak to others on a public forum "I don't care if you don't like what I wrote, don't read it". Mature and indeed sensitive.

Have to say I'm with you too on the pregnancy still going really slowly - feels like an eternity ago that I got a BFP. Lets hope with maternity leave starting now and that I've got some lovely things planned that it's going to go by much faster! I just want to get to the end!

I'm counting 3rd tri as being the start of week 28. Mathematically it's 26.6 but lots of sites (eg Baby Centre) have it as being wk28 and so does my consultant. Plus I like that it's a nice round "7 months" and also the viability stats jump up again a bit then, so I'm focussed on that. I'm 27 weeks today so only one week left to go. Have another scan next Thursday and seeing consultant too so sort of feels like wk28 is a bit of a marker for me to get to.

Happy 27 weeks Jules!! Either way, I think it's safe to say you've at least half reached 3rd trimester!! x

haha! It's really embarassing isn't it cupcake? I woke up this morning and my left nipple seemed to be leaking some clear stuff, kind of like gooey water? I was like WTH! The worrying thing is that my right boob doesn't seem to want to play ball, so I'm a bit concerned I'll end up with one boob that is dysfunctional! lmao! The things we worry about!

I'm counting 27 weeks as third trimester...It's killed me getting this far, so there's no way I'm forcing myself to go another week to reach a milestone! I think I'll be like "I COULD be in 3rd trimester now" and then next week reach my second milestone of "I'm DEFINITELY in 3rd trimester now"! lol

This is probably TMI, but I got myself all worried this morning! Baby has been extra active all day today without much of a break, but I thought I may have peed myself this morning because down there was so wet! I changed my underwear and put on a panty liner, and it's the same thing again! Like really watery and clear...is that just discharge? I'd know if I was leaking fluid wouldn't I?!xx I'm such a paranoid idiot sometimes!lol

It most likely is discharge hun, mine is really watery.

The best way to tell is to get some on a finger and then scrape your nail over it.

If I do this, even though it seems watery on clothes/finger once it's been scraped together it goes white. That reassures me nicely that it's discharge and not fluid.

Could also be pee if you're sneezing/coughing lots today or if you're getting kicked in the bladder lots.
 
Thanks girls :) I just love my nursery, can't wait until my baby is here!
 
I *think* that amniotic fluid is straw like in colour and has a smell to it, though no idea what as my waters never leaked or broke - it's just what I've heard. Very very unlikely to be your waters, far more likely to be watery discharge or even wee!

Having a hard day, won't bore you with the details but my hormones have got the better of me for sure. Now I'm worn out from being upset and looking after DD and I'd quite like to do nothing for the rest of the day, or get a relaxing massage or anything really that involves relaxing and no effort. Unfortunately not going to happen though lol! Pregnancy with a toddler is hard!
 
Chin up Hann... Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition (or even worse, a demanding toddler) :hugs: x
 
Urgh, someone's started a thread about how mean some other 2nd tri threads are.

https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/p...hoose-make-others-feel-bad-their-choices.html

And I can't help but feel like it's partly directed about a post I made in a BFing thread.

Someone said man is intelligent and we've made formula, so it must be healthy.

I said that yes, formula has been around a long time, and babies do great on it. But I also made the point that man made Big Macs and fruit and veg is definitely more healthy than that.

I didn't think it was a horrifically rude reply.

But I can't see any other posts on the last couple of pages that are arguing much.....

Now I'm all paranoid I've upset the woman, but I also can;t see why me speaking my opinion would be taken as rude?!
 
cupcake, don't worry.

honestly, that BF'ing thread was ridiculous. i posted a logical, neutral post on there saying that i was a little tired of hearing all the time "breast is best" because i feel that whatever is best for the mother's unique situation and her baby is best for them. people blasted me!! i was shocked and upset, and deleted my post right away, because i didn't want to be involved in that thread ever again. i avoid the threads now.

the kind of people who get really offended in those threads will get offended at anything, and are probably looking to "debate" their opinions - which they think is 100% right.
 
I wouldn't worry too much Cupcake. I think what you said is a fair point and not rude. It's difficult though as any website is going to have people from all walks of life and all levels of education (and indeed intellect). It's difficult to try to have a sensible discussion with someone who just says "I think this, have nothing to support that view but that's my opinion so I'm throwing it out there". Hard to reason with that kind of line or take their opinion seriously as it doesn't present anything supporting the other side of the argument. Another one that I find hard is "I'm going to do X to my baby as that's what everyone does over here and I want he/us to fit in" - what can you say to that?

Guess the key is to be as respectful as possible and just try to use balanced logic/argument in your own replies. That's very different to people who are just trying to be insulting or rude.

Where's your post cupcake? I seriously wouldn't worry, people that start threads like the one this woman has just started are just attention seekers stirring up trouble. No point to them apart from upsetting people or getting people annoyed for no reason! If you don't like someone's opinion ignore it! That's the joy of the Internet versus someone sat in front of you trying to convince you of their opinions. A tad too much drama on the threads at the moment methinks!
 
Thanks girls.

I'm very pro-BFing, but also have a 100% adorable, healthy way ahead of the curve FF nephew, so am really not anti-formula.

But sometimes I feel like just for saying I'm going to try and 100% BF my daughter people accuse me of being mean to others who don't think the same?

What do they want me to do - lie?

I guess I'm just hormoney too - which we all are on here - lol!
