*** May Babies ***

[Cactusgirl]

I can't believe how quickly time is passing... we're gonna have babies soon (just nobody mention the labour part to me )

God no mention of the labour

 

[hope&faith09]

Aww ladies I dont want to move over to third tri!

Im so tired today ... just off to babies r us with my mum! Will post more later having an awful day so tired and grumpy!

 

[babyhope]

im thinking about getting one amy cos im really struggling to sleep now, my OH even mentioned it yesterday as im tossing and turning keeping him awake, for him to want to spend money on something that will be used for a few months must mean its bad lol

I know what you mean, I've been having some rough nights too. I just can't get comfortable with my tummy, especially since I am a tummy sleeper, and now when I sleep on my sides my shoulders hurt....and last night I got one of those horrible PAINFUL pregnancy leg cramps...OUCH!

 

[babyhope]

Yup 3rd Trimester sounds scary and exciting...they actually have birth announcements as well

I think I will pop into the May thread over there and still post here as well, lol...I came into 2nd trimester a week early!

I am not sure if anyone is still putting the team color next to the due dates but I would like my blue to be added

 

[Windmills]

Is anyone else getting foot cramp rather than leg cramp?! I've never had cramp in my life but the past 10 days or so I've been getting cramp in the bottom of my feet

Hi Ladies

I have been keeping an eye on the thread at work today in my time but have been a good girl and not posted until now - I have made notes so I did not forget what I had read damn pregnancy brain

Crikey a third tri May thread already I am a late one (May 31st) like Moongirl so I think I will sneak over with you all a bit early when you all start moving.

I never got around to baking muffins yesterday but I did make the cheese and potato pie which I am having for tea tonight, hopefully in about 20 mins Jolou I will pm you the recipe for muffins - you may need to tinker with the cooking time depending on the size of your muffin tinand the temperature depending on your oven as I have honed the recipe for my tin and oven over time - my tin makes starbucks sized muffins and is much bigger than all the other muffin tins I have seen in the shops. I have printed out a load of low fat chocolate muffin recipes from the web today which I will have a play with over the weeks to come

Abz - you must have a long baby to reach all the way to your ribs I have not felt any movement above my belly button still - LO seems like like laying in my pelvis like it is a cradle.

Ah bed-space. I usually sleep flat on my front which has been impossible since about 13w due to bloating and eventually bump. Consequently I have gradually started to take up more and more bed I have got a dreamgeni pillow like Hope&faith which keeps me comfy but does nothing for the amount of space LO and I need - OH just lets me get on with it, if he does not like it he can sleep in the babies room after all is is 2 against 1

Oh and I moved up a box - have to dash as its yoga night

Have a good evening everyone

Gosh, how much you have wrote. That's insane
maybebaby3 - my OH doesn't have anything complain about because I really don't have time to spend in internet. I come from work, pick up Janno from kindergarten, come home and warm up or make dinner. We eat and then I start preparing my next day's lessons and check Janely's homework. After that it's already time to finish things and start putting kids to sleep.
A3my - Isobel is such a beautiful name
babyhope - gongrats and welcome to blue team It's fantastic to think that I'm gonna get a son

Weight. I can be happy, I have gained some and I weigh 93 lbs Unfortunately weight hadn't rise for some time now but I actually don't give any chance to it either. I go jogging and ski at school with kids. It is really cold outside so I have minimised my running distance more than half but during lessons I ski with kids. That makes up to 10km skiing per day. Madness
24 weeks

Cactus girl.. I am back from third tri with my tail between my legs!!

Definitely staying put in the cosy world of 2nd tri for the time being!

But I'm still going to have a nosey on the May babies thread over there.. I don't want to miss out!!!

 

[Widger]

Well ladies, I'm looking for some advice. My little one will not budge at the moment and has decided that kicking down below OUCH is favourite day job - actually feels like it is using it as a springboard. Now usually I feel kicks all over the place but I have felt them really low the past 2 days and my little widger has obviously found a position that it likes. Is there anything I can do to move this little one? Or am I just destined to jolt with pain for the next 17 weeks? Please help xx

PussyG - I am so happy that the world cup is on when I'm off too. I just love it!! As for the game last night, typical Man U getting something in injury time eh?

 

[insomnimama]

Afternoon everyone! Just got my specialist's (surgeon's) apt. Will be basically an intake apt and he will make the referral for a surgery date. So within a month or so I will know my last baby's birthdate!

 

[Windmills]

My hips and ribs hurt and my sister continues to be a bitch. /endmoan
Anyone else REALLY glad it's nearly the weekend?

 

[jolou]

widger bubs seems to like that area on me too, he moves from time to time but not often.

frufru starbuck size muffins ........ O M G you now have made me want to search for bigger tins lol (lol for some reason calender girls poped in to my head).

well i asked OH how he slept last night since i went to bed earlier to give me time to get comfy without disturbing him lol he said he doesnt remember waking up so must have been fine, he tends to wake tho from me taking the covers.. so that must be why he wants to get a pillow for me lol since i use the duvet like a big long pillow.

 

[jolou]

im glad its nearly the weekend, mainly because il get a lie in, sophie is with her dad this weekend so no early mornings for 2 days! i always miss her like mad but my god its nice to get the lie in, especially now i know by may it will all be over.

right now im mooching at facebook wondering where on earth my sister is actually from...

 

[jolou]

Hi Widger - I have the same problem!!! our LOs had better turn round or they'll be breech!! I'm sure they will. I cant remember the last time I had a higher kick though and its such a wierd sensation when they kick down below I cant describe it!

Had a really healthy tea, then fell asleep for 5 mins. Woke up feeling sick and I've just had to eat lots of toast to make myself feel better xxx

Evening Ladies,

Well after an awful day I have finally found time for myself to sit down for a few minutes! Am going to have a nice soak in the bath, an ovaltine and then bed! I have an OH free night as I am stopping at my mums to look after their dogs over the weekend while they go to Germany to see my sis and niece.

This is our current name choice for LO and I would really appreciate your opinions! ... Amy Eleanor Howell.

Also just on the subject of third tri and certain conversations does anyone have any opinions on Maternity led unit vs hospital? Sorry!

Sorry to hear you've had a crappy day

Well I think your name is beautiful! Amy is my name hehe so I am biased but I think its lovely with Eleanor and your surname finishes it off perfectly!

I want to have mine at birthing unit but they prob wont let me as I've had a few problems. I would say go and look round your local units and go to the place you feel most comfortable. My local hospital is nasty so I really dont want to go there. The main thing is that you have total confidence in wherever delivers you xxxxx

 

[LogansMama]

OMG - I moved into the 7th box!

 

[hope&faith09]

Im slightly worried about the unit as they have no care incase there is a problem with LO. So im tempted to go to the hospital and then be transferred back. It all depends on my BMI as well tho. I have just weighed myself, slightly worried as I havent put on much weight. Just trying to find by booking in weight compared to weight now and there are only a few pounds difference. Does this mean my baby isnt growing properly?

 

[A3my]

no not at all, there's another site I look at and people on there who were about the same stage had put on 3lbs compared to my stone. The midwife would have said if she thought the baby wasnt growing becasue your fundal height would have been too low.

I had my first in a hospital (which has since downgraded) becasue I was worried about things going wrong and I am glad I did because I had an epidural. I was in labour 5 days and in agony becasue the baby was back to back. you'd still be delivered by midwives but there's that back-up there just in case xxx
