I have only gained about 12 lbs so far and the dr doesnt seem concerned at all. It's all baby for me again this time around but I was already fatter to start so it only makes sense haha.
 
I know it can be worrying because you feel quite big and wonder how much space they have to turn but somehow they do manage it (well most do). My DD was transverse until around 34/35 weeks (can't remember exactly) but she did turn head down. There is a website called spinning babies that gives you some tips on how to get the babies in optimal position, check it out as its been known to be very successful

Indeed. 97% of babies are head down on delivery so chances are it will be fine TTC x
 
I sure hope so... thanks for the website Hann... I think if he's still breech at my 32 week appointment I'll give some of the exercises a go.

On a positive note, I got my prescription for my breast pump :) my insurance will cover it 100%, I just need to find a medical supply store that participates with my insurance. Looks like most of them offer Ameda brand breast pumps, never heard of them before. Anyone have experience?
 
Yep I bought the ameda dual electric breast pump but obviously no experience with it yet. If you put it into amazon.com there will be loads of reviews on there x
 
i used the ameda lactaline, most mums rave about it but i found it pathetic, best pump for me was the TTCTN which everyone else hates and says is useless. I must have odd boobs






I'm back after the move have finally got internet after it taking 2 weeks for it to get sorted, it was set up the day we moved in but there was a tech fault with the line. fun fun fun
 
Yeah very quiet in here at the moment, hope everyones ok xxx

I've not heard of the ameda pump but i had a medala one which was good and i think they tend to get good reviews. I think double pumps are a good buy too as i know i could always express more milk if baby was feeding from the other side at the same time as the let down reflex in one breast sets of the other one. Read lots of reviews anyway, it's worth getting a good one of you don't have to pay for it ;-) xx
 
Medala swing is amazing. I'm not a fan of dual because I would feed one side then pump another, if you are only pumping I can see the benefit but if you are feeding and pumping you could get an over supply if you pump a lot (I did and DD kept throwing up!) or you can pump too much then not have much for the feed - that's if you feed on demand not on a schedule. I only ever fed from one side at a time, I had enough to do that.

Potentially dim question Hann and I'm away from the pump to check the instructions but...even if it's dual can't you just attach one side of it to one boob if you wanted to feed from one and pump from the other at the same time? x
 
Ha ha I have no idea! I've never used one, I'm guessing you could but it would be bulky unless you could take a funnel off. Not sure though as I never used a double. To be honest I produced a bottles worth from each side so never needed to express more than a feeds worth, and even then I only did it at the beginning as she wouldn't take a bottle so I only ever left it in cases of emergencies (if I HAD to be away for more than an hour or so at a time) but we found that she would prefer to starve than take a bottle so my poor husband would be there with her screaming hungry and rejecting the bottle until I got home so I only left her once or twice out of necessity in the first 3 months. After that her feeding reduced to about 5/6 times in the day time so I could predict it better.
I'd add that she was on demand fed, I never put a routine together for feeding but I know people that did and just refused to feed their child unless it was 3-4 hourly. Yes the baby got used to it but breast milks not as filling as formula so while it does work that way for formula fed babies I really think its hard for a BF baby
 
Sorry I haven't been too active in this thread either...things have just been so hectic this end!

1) Hubby was medical discharged from the army two weeks ago, so we've been frantically trying to sort out housing elsewhere/getting forms filled in/generally running round like headless chickens

2)I've been TRYING to take it easy and relax, so have been crocheting baby booties etc

And just when I start to relax thinking everything is going pretty fine, my morning sickness comes back two days ago and I wake up to red spotting this morning...it was only when I wiped and I haven't had any since, but I'm now completely stressed because labour and delivery want me in to monitor me. They're concerned because I said baby hasn't been very active the last couple of days, whereas I'm more concerned about the spotting. He HAS been moving, but it didn't worry me because he has active days and lazy days.

I don't know what to think..I've got no choice but to go in I guess, but it stresses me out thinking that if I go, I feel like I'm wasting their time, but if I didn't go and something was wrong, I'd kick myself for it.

Gosh, I can't wait for this pregnancy to be over...I'm tired of all the problems and just want Jenson here safe and sound :(
 
Ttc- I've been nervous about the breech thing too. I know it's too early to e concerned, but I think it's just so easy to worry when you're preggers, ESP the first time around.
Kezz- I'm so sorry you're suffering at work. I can't imagine being full time right now. Part time is stressing me out enough! Lucky you get to leave in 4 weeks though! I'll be part time through June 15 and lucky if I get any breaks!
LP- sounds scary! Get your tush to the hospital! I know it's a pain but either the blood or the decreased movements could be something. They could be nothing too, but they can't help if you don't hustle to get over there. Please keep us posted. I'll be thinking of you today!
Watched a delivery of 34 week triplets this morning on tv. Two were able to go home two days after delivery. They looked like full sized babies. I was so surprised. Kind of like, is that what our babies will look like in 4 weeks?!
 
Hi Ladies,
Love how far along everyone is! :D Just wanted to say that we have our rainbow baby finally after the miscarriage. I'm 4 weeks today and hoping for the best. :)
 
Thanks sass!

Thankfully everything is ok with baby, though they can't explain the spotting...just looks like taking things a little easy for a few days!x
 
Lpjkp you are not wasting anybody's time Hun, peace of mind is important. I'm sure everything is fine xxxx
 
Hi ladies.

Firstly - CaseyBaby huge congrats sweetie. Xxxx H&H 9 months to you.

LP - glad Jenson is all ok but sorry you had to have a fright. Saw your crocheting on FB and it looks great. :)

Sorry that I've been super quiet too. Been really busy doing lots of fun baby things.

Pretty much finished her bedroom (except cot and tidying stuff away - we're not getting her cotbed until she's sleeping in there as want to keep the single bed as long as we can for if DH wants a nights peace once she's here etc.)

And I've been doing lots of knitting and sewing.

Will post some photos tonight. Xx
 
congrats caseybaby, thats brill news.

i so wish i could crochet and knit, attempted it again a few months ago... mega fail



is anybody elses boobs leaking like mad but only if they have no bra on
 
Congratulations CaseyBaby718!

Anyone have experiences with the Medela pump in style? Looks like if I go with another medical supply store I can get that one through my insurance.
 
My boobs were leaking every night a couple of weeks ago.

Now they've stopped and it worries me a little. :(

Anyone else getting lots of baby hiccups? Baby Bee has them at least once a day now.

She just had them so DH and I got the doppler out for the first time in weeks as I wanted to know what it sounded like on there.

The answer? Cute!!!
