[wild2011]

may isnt usually great chloes birthdays 19 may and usualy raining n cold, im hopeful it stays that way

 

[24/7]

Oh yes, wouldn't like to be pregnant in the summer!! I'll still be wearing my north face come May, so nobody will ever see my bump!! xx

 

[lisaf]

My friend was due this Sept... I told her 'what was she thinking' for getting pregnant where she'd be full-term right at the peak of our summer heat

 

[24/7]

Yuck!! I'd hate it to be so hot and sticky when in labour too, hospitals are yuck and hot enough already!! xx

 

[wild2011]

ive only ever been in first tri in the summer, 2009 was worst out the lot in all that snow, couldnt leave house as lived top of hill n couldnt see my feet midwife kept phoning to make sure i was tucked up at home hahaha. actually did splits trying to cross road to see a neighoubr n had to crawl back to my driveway to climb to my feet ,

 

[Wiggler]

I'm so glad i am due before my flat turns into a furnace, the heat is unbearable in summer in my incubator, er.. flat.

We moved here in summer, and wasnt given the key for the balcony door, and extreme heat + pregnant Wiggler = unhappy OH we finally got given the key at the end of september, after the flat had cooled down, i was not amused.

 

[wild2011]

thats typical hun.hows ur flat for size you going to be managing with the baby there too? x

 

[Wiggler]

this flat is apparently designed for 4 poeple, but we will be bidding to move to a 2 bed house. this flat is in no way suitable for children, there isnt even a bath, and we cant privately rent because a 2 bed flat in this area is more than twice the rent we pay now and most landlords here wont accept housing benefit (we pay all our rent for this flat). We will make do though, its a lovely flat, it has a huuuge lounge.

OH is slowly working his way up the ranks at work and as soon as he is earning 18k a year we are going part buy part rent for a nice cosy 3 bed place.

Ya I made a big mistake to decide to go down to Miami from December on for my pregnancy because it gets so cold here in NY and i dont want to look like a big down pillow and having to wear jeans etc, i'd rather wear long flowy dresses till the end of pregnancy, though it gets VEYR hot in Miami from mid april and on, and I am due at the end of may. Lisa you have ideal weather for pregnancy, Ca has great weather and it never gets too cold and you'll be long gone before its too hot.

 

[lisaf]

yup, I'm a bit worried about a young baby with no air conditioning for our few super hot days (and I live in an oven of a house). I do have a portable A/C unit but it doesn't do ANYTHING in a house with zero insulation

Coastal CA is great weather... there are some inland places that get pretty bad extremes, lol.

Lake Tahoe is the perfect summer place to go... always in the 70s and low 80s... too far away for us though

Since i was a teen I have had reaaly bad anxiety and panic attacks, and have been on medicne to treat that which i have had to taper down my mg since i found out i was pregnant, which is very hard and today i am have like major anxiety on and off and trying not to let myself going into full panic attack mode but its hard and i dont want to the medicine that calms me down, even though my dr told me im better off taking it when i am like this because its better than the stress i cause on myself and baby... its a doubled edged sword.

 

[lisaf]

I understand hopeful...
I'm on a medication that keeps me awake and functioning.. without it I would have a very unhealthy pregnancy as I'd never have the energy to do anything but sit on my butt and watch TV all day (ok first tri thats pretty much all I'm doing, but lol). I couldn't safely drive a car or function at work.
Its a risk to stay on the medication (since they don't know if it does any harm but have no proof that it does)... but I can't function without it.

 

[Tracy81]

How do I join? I'm due 21st may x

 

[hopefulmama]

ya I baked a cake thinking it would make me happy, somehow made me more anxious, i broke down and took some of the medicine, waiting for it to kick in and calm me down.. cause i hate this shaky, short of breath feeling. i only get like this at night, normally it happens right before bed, which yet another reason i have to take ambien sometimes cause i wont sleep and i have severe panic attacks at night.. its very weird and isn't pleasant. I used to be worse but i've got the anxiety and panic attacks under control and have them a few times a yr vs a few times a week.

Congrats Tracy, i've added you to the list x

sounds like a plan wiggler, although we have a 3 bed, the bedrooms kitcehn etc are super tiny, and i was advised upon taking it if i go on to have a 4th then we should be moved to 4 bedder. there are so few around here, the waiting list is huge and the areas that have ne are horrible. so were considering moving further west theres some lovely areas and schools r great, and rent is same im paying here. just wish we could go now as ive moved being heavily pregnant and just after baby born 3 times and seriously not nice.

Good morning ladies

Welcome Tracey congratulations hun

Wiggler your little boy looks gorgeous hun bless him

Why am I still waking up with MS????? Ok its degraded to annoying bouts of nausea but surely I should be getting ready for a break from it lol My stupid sleepiness is still there too, I was curlled up fast asleep early last night and missed my dearest friend calling round to see me before they leave for a holiday to the states arghhhhhhhh

3 sleeps till my scan and I have a huge mixture of worry and excitement although my symptoms are still very much physical so I hope thats the best sign Im going to get xxxxx

 

[Wiggler]

We have a tiny kitchen too, and Dylans room is quiet small, but we have found away to fit 2 single beds in there with plenty of floor space if we are here for that long. I'm not sure what the rules are about boys and girls sharing a room, because if i have a girl this time i'm not too keen on them sharing, i had to share a room with 3 brothers when i was younger, and i hated it.

On the plus side though, we have our own garden, even though we are in an upstairs flat.

new - your little man is grogeous too! going to be a little heartbreaker when he is older! Sorry your symptoms are still being horrible, but not long now til they go hun

xxxxxxxx
