***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[luckyme225]

The thought of going past due is scary for me. I had my son just before 39 weeks and was supposed to be induced but my water broke on it's own. I remember being so done with the pregnancy, but then again my pregnancy was more on the high risk side so I had lot's of appointments, meds, non stress tests. Hoping I don't have the same problem with this pregnancy, I want to sit back and enjoy the ride.

My food aversions are horrible. There is maybe 3 foods right now I'd eat and normally after I eat them I decide I don't like them anymore and cross it off my list. Hoping this will past in the next couple weeks or I'm gonna run out of food choices. I'm going to try a bean and cheese burrito for breakfast lol.

I was eating PB&J for breakfast for a week, now I'm eating jam and butter on bread, lol... I can't stand most things in the morning.

I found the cure to my mega thirst and dry mouth.. ice lollies. I know the weather is getting cold so its a bit odd, so i just threw on a jumper Good thing they are cheap cos i can see myself going through 2+ boxes a week

The last 2 days my nausea and cravings have gone away, I am actually eating healthier i.e. salads etc, but the headaches have started and i am dead asleep by 10 pm. My boobs are still sore but not as bad as before.. maybe i'm just getting a quick break of relief because it will come back even worse than before. I hope not.

 

[stardust22]

it's still cheese cheese and more cheese for me! I love it. I also love ice cold drinks and lollies.

I am lucky not to be sick but I have a far too healthy appetite right now. I am not off of anything really except eating a big meal. I am mainly eating little and often. VERY OFTEN LOL

Meow, when is ur 12 week scan hun???

Im totally understanding your concerns. I didnt bleed at all with my MMC I just got to the scan and found out the HB had stopped 3 weeks prior so I am super worried. I had no tell tale signs (except sickness had gone but was told that was normal) so these next few days for me are the hardest. I am dreading MOnday and it should be one of the happier days xxxxx

It's the 25th October! It seems so far away and i'll be nearly 14 weeks by then. I'm so impatient. Trying not to worry.

I know this sounds so woe is me but seriously nothing is going right at the moment and i'm so worried we'll get more bad news at the scan.

I've scalded my hand, the landlord is just having the bath made safe not actually fixing the problem, my car has got to be scrapped and we have to buy a new one, we've got mot and tax due on oh's car, one of my guinea pigs is ill and we found out yesterday Oh's gran has lung cancer..... They're running tests to find out how far it's spread and how long she's got left. OH is gutted, he really wanted them to both be at the wedding and to see her first great grandchild.

I keep saying have we broken a mirror or something, it's literally one things after another!

 

[hopefulmama]

It's funny when i woke up yesterday and noticed my symptoms not as strong i flipped out and called dr, and they said things come and go.. well it happened again today but i feel more at ease about it, but i am soo paranoid that i'm afraid something is wrong. for the last couple weeks, only when i wake up and go pee i notice i have this nudish/peach color spotting after i wipe (sorry tmi) but no cramps or anything and dr said that its nothing to worry about.. well it completely stopped since last thursday and it came back yesterday, but again they told me nothing is wrong if its not bright red, or dark red etc and if its only right in the morning when i go pee and not through out the day... ugh the joys of pregnancy

Mummy 3-


A baby nurse is a non-medical newborn specialist that is very experienced in infant care. They work in your home and care for the newborns from the day the baby arrives home up until months after. Normally they are 24 hour care and assist to new parents in every aspect of new new born care and also help you get eating and sleeping patterns down.

 

[lisaf]

meow - I'm so sorry for all you're going through. There is a bright side to the car thing at least... you get a new car that won't be in the shop all the time, right? My landlord(my own father-in-law) won't do anythign to get rid of the termites in the house.. he says there is no point because you just have to keep fighting them anyway... meanwhile one window frame is practically gone. The bright side is that at least you don't own a place that is falling apart, right? You have to live in it, but you don't have to worry about losing equity or the eventual cost of repairs when they do have to get done.
Also with all this bad news, you are DUE for some good news so I think the scan will show everything is just fine!

 

[stardust22]

Lisa, I love your positive vibes in your messages. You always have the nicest things to say. We are lucky to have you in the May Blossoms

 

[wild2011]

lol wiggler, i usually suck an ice lolly slowly wen i feel sick in the evening, especially wen ive struggled to eat much, goes down a treat

Just saw all the posts on cloth nappies and bf.

I do both with James and happy to answer any questions you might have! If you'd rather do it privately just PM me I'd be happy to help!
There is lots of cheap ways to start up cloth nappies without the initial cost, not all nappies cost a lot, in fact the best ones for newborns are some of the cheapest! And then once your done with them you can sell them on on here and get some money back! In fact I bought nearly all james' nappies from other people on here and have fantastic things to say about them! Also eBay cheapies are a great way to bulk out, mine cost £3 a nappy and are some of my favourites! There's loads of info in natural parenting on cloth nappies xx

Fantastic! I was thinking of starting out with fitteds and covers (wool or fleece for night and ? for day) those seem to be the best for newborns. Am I on the right track? Any brands to recommend for the diaper or cover? What are some of the more slim fits that still absorb well. sorry for the 20 questions!

 

[Wiggler]

I've had 3 ice lollies today and now my mouth is sore

 

[wild2011]

aww wait till uve eaten 3 pineapples and a mouthful of blisters lol, dh has just come in with chinese, a yummy mushroom chowmein, s&s chicken balls & crispy aromatic lamb, id normally munch the lot, yet the plate giving me heeby jeebies lol

 

[Wiggler]

hehe aww bless him. the only thing chinese i want at the moment is prawn crackers. ooh yum yum.

I dont think i will be trying the "eat 8 pinapples" thing when i'm term, cant stand them unless they are mixed in with cottage cheese.

My dinner was chuncky chips with a choice of dips, curry sauce or garlic mayo, it wasnt very nice hehe, but i'm not a huge chip fan anyway.

I'm still wanting a bacon and hard boiled egg sarnie, but i have to wait until tuesday when we have some money, i hate that things are going to be tight until xmas, its just been one of them years where everything breaks and needs replacing

xxxxxx

 

[mummy3]

All this talk of overdue babies, I cant imagine what that must feel like, so so uncomfortable! The furthest Ive got was 35 weeks, anja was a 33 weeker, Im gonna try for full term this time

Meow sounds like you are due some serious good luck, our car also broke down earlier in the week, its been patched up lol but we need to sort out a new one.

My appetite keeps changing, im also down to the last pill for the sickness and cant get a hold of the ob Made some blue and green cupcakes with my toddlers this morning, was sooo hard not to eat any of the cake batter!

 

[lisaf]

mummy - I went out and got the egg-in-a-carton (the 'egg product' stuff that is in a milk-style carton) thing from someone's suggestion... the eggs in there are real eggs and they're pastuerized so you can eat the batter!

 

[Wiggler]

mummy3 - i really hope you get to full term, i cant imagine how terrifying it must be for your LO to come early!

I made some cupcakes the other day and totally forgot they had raw egg in and licked the batter, i only realised about 3 hours later, but we buy the red lion stamped eggs so there is pretty much no risk, still was worried though.

Are you ladies excited about xmas? its sooo close now! we dont even have a tree or any decs yet, we got rid of our old tree last year as DS picked it up and waved it like a sword! (it was a long thin one) hoping to get a nice one this year.

xxxxxxxxx

 

[lisaf]

we won't be doing a tree since we'll be away for Christmas day. We do a live tree each year (don't have the storage space for a fake one... and I kind of hate my mom's fake one... I love the smell of the tree more than anything).
I'm hoping we do a bit of a better job with the lights this year than last...we did something very simple/tame last year and I hope to add to it.

 

[Wiggler]

I cant stand the mess of real trees and i'm not keen on the smell either, they look amazing though.

We are having a very small, simple Xmas this year for 2 reasons, 1. DS is so young and still doesnt really understand it and 2. we need to buy the pram in the jan sales.

Me and OH are only giving each other 1 cheap gift each (under £10) and DS is only getting 3-4 toys and some clothes. He goes off his toys so fast that it seems wasteful to buy him something he wont touch again after a week.

Next year though xmas will be HUGE, Loads of pressies, a small feast it'll be great, and as Dylan will be 3 he will really understand it

xxxxxxxx
