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

i thought that was only with soft cheeses and lunch meats, how can listeria associate with milkshakes, especially if you make that home? Its just milk and ice cream. So I am lost. I never knew of any pregnant woman not eating ice cream or drinking milk... dunno.

 

[luckyme225]

I was told regular ice cream is fine, so making a milk shake at home shouldn't pose any risk. I was just told soft serve because it's hard for the machines to be thoroughly cleaned I guess. Like i said though, I'm sure many people drink them and everything is fine but since my doctors hand out from my last pregnancy had soft serve under risk of listeria I choose to stay away from it.

 

[lisaf]

When I was a teen, I worked at Baskin Robbins... yeah... those machines don't get cleaned out that well... sorry to say.
Oh... and I'd stay far far away from hot dogs at the movie theater, lol!

 

[luckyme225]

Can't we have hot dogs if they are heated up really well (steaming)? I sure hope so, my friend is bring some pigs in a blanket made with the little wienies and they are amazing!!!

 

[lisaf]

lol I've eaten a few hot dogs since they were heated.. I am pretty sure that takes care of the listeria concern but I think there are still some nitrates in it?

 

[meow951]

Congratulations new_to_ttc! Glad that everything is ok!

I had to come home from work early yesterday and called in sick today as i've got a terrible migraine. Not what i need right now seen as we're trying to pay for a wedding and i've just bought a new car!

Can't wait for my scan! Getting so close now! Next monday at 9:30am so i don't have to wait all day for it.

 

[Wiggler]

Hiya ladies!!!

I'm feeling really mean at the moment because OH once again slept on the sofa last night. I dont know what it is, but when i'm pregnant i HATE sharing the bed. My poor man, but at least the sofa is comfy

I'm not in the mood for cooking today so looks like we are all having beans on toast for lunch, although i might have some chicken, mixed veg and gravy.

We had the BEST roast dinner last night, the roast potatoes were gorgeous!!! I might get OH to make some more tonight, they were amazing!

Still got no bump not even a hint of one, I've already picked out some gorgeous maternity jeans and tops, now i just need a bump so i can go shopping!!!

Meow, i hope you feel better soon, Your scan appointment is 50 mins before mine, i love morning appointments, never have to wait for ages
xxxxxxxx

 

[stardust22]

Morning ladies, wow so many scans are coming up in the next week! all very exciting. as if I dont have enough trouble keeping up with this thread already, next week will be adding about 50 pages a day lol!

Loving the talk of food on here....it seems to be the main focus of any day for a pregnant lady, right? I am trying to eat a bit more healthy as the first few weeks I needed cheeseburgers from mcdonalds and I cant keep doing that. Trying with more fruit and veg now. Luckily I am not a sicky person so nothing is making me ill. I have also gained 3 pound already eek. Lack of exercise mainly but when I feel less anxious I will get back to my gym, I miss is SO much.

What a lovely sunny day today!

 

[Wiggler]

Hehe, yea, next week this thread is going to go into overload! I cant wait to see everyones scan pics and to show mine off

Its sunny here too today, and the air is really cold and crisp I love it. Although i'm looking forward to when it gets all rainy next so i can take Dylan out to splash in the puddles!

Stardust, you have me wanting Mcdonalds now! I think i will see if we can budget in a sneaky Mcdonalds dinner tonight Yum Yum!! Its a shame they dont do deliveries though, they would make a fortune!

xxxxxx

 

[stardust22]

OMG imagine if they did deliver! that would be big trouble for me LOL!!

I love winter ( not too bitter cold) but the winter clothes are better and what with hiding any bumps, best time of year!!! I dont have any bump yet. I cant wait to have a proper bump tho. The 5-6 month one. Not the 9 month one when you must feel huge lol. That is when it gets hot and we will all be fed up and cant hide behind the winter clothes.

[Wiggler]

I am so disgusting, i just sat here watching a TV show on the PC and ate half a jar of nutella on its own!! hahahaha! was so worth it though. I wish we had marmite, going to get OH to buy me some when he goes shopping tonight.

OH is home for lunch in 10 mins so i'm going to try and persuade him that the baby wants a big mac meal for dinner tonight.

I just realised its less than 200 days now til baby comes!!! YAY!

 

[wild2011]

aww wiggler, ive wanted chicken ledgend from mcd's for ages, went in their other day, bit into a chip and couldnt eat ne of it, talk about gutted lol.

been to doctors today, had bloods done for hyperemesis, long long story but boils down to having it with my last, got some meds for now, i cant wait till beg of third tri wen i likely be able to eat , then i will seriously make up for lost time lol

how on earht u eat nutella straight, urghhhh i couldnt lol

xxx

 

[new_to_ttc]

I cant stop crying!!!!!! I should be so happy and relaxed today and Ive had to come home from work because all I could do was cry! I actually feel sad, but I dont know what about, just feel it. Even you ladies talking about fast food didnt grow me a smile as it usually does I think I need a hug, Ive called in my friend who I hope will be here soon!

As for bumps though, Im amazed at mine! Its quite high, but very hard and smooth round. I was going to take a photo but Im too conscious and I dont have a before picture to show. As Im not skinny I could still pass it off as fat, although anyone who knows me is comenting as they all saw me when I had lost my weight and my tummy had gone almost flat again. None of my trousers fit, but I didnt like any of the maternity jeans I saw over the weekend, so living in leggings right now, got some lovely maternity tops though which are nice and comfy, fitting nice at the top where I lost my weight and not tight around my bump. My old tops were way too big on the top and the new ones I bought after weightloss were pulling on my tummy ... sods law!

Good luck for all those having their scans today and those in the coming days. Next week seems to be a busy scan week for May Blossoms

Mummy let us know what the doctor says, I hope you're ok! And lots of love to your little boy hope everything is ok there too xxxx

Meow I hope you are feeling better soon hunni. You know you should get paid for this time off?? Im not entirely sure, but you are allowed as many sick absences as required during pregnancy, and I believe so much of that has to be fully paid (but you'd have to check your contract and stuff). Hope you on the mend quickly xxxxx

 

[Wiggler]

aww hun i hope your meds help.

I'm regretting my nutella feast now, i'm starting to feel really sick! lol.

[hopefulmama]

Lisa & lucky- Ya I am not a fanatic for soft serve ice cream, only frosty's haha. And I love pigs in the blanket, sooo good, now i want to make some.

new- I was like that yesterday I couldn't stop crying i had to watch movies that I know would make me cry so i could get it all out, vs just randomly crying because they didn't have something @ the store I needed and looked like a crazy person. I am very stressed and it's hard when my husband isn't here to comfort me, I hate that he travels and is all the way in Buenos Aires which is i don't even know how many miles from NY, but i know it's too far. He's also very busy while there, so I maybe talk to him twice a day for about 15/20 min each time, it's really hard on me right now.

also wild & wiggler- you don't want mcdeath to deliver, I have one a block away and most of them in nyc do deliver 24/7... thats a bad bad bad thing to have or know. Luckily, I prefer Burger King.

 

[Wiggler]

I used to adore burger king, but then they made the burgers smaller and not as nice so i dont eat there anymore. I was also put off my local KFC as they allow wasps to nest in the bin out the front and i have a terrible phobia of wasps. I went there with afriend in the summer and was running around like a crazy person because the wasps kept coming near me, in the end we took shelter in his car and i made him check to make sure my straw was wasp free before i would touch my drink!

I havent been too emotional, but some silly things have made me tear up, like a friends episode and a few TV adverts. And as silly as it sounds i am starting to get a bit teary at the thought of my little man turning 2!

I'm feeling a lot less pregnant today its probably just my hormones calming down though.

 

[luckyme225]

EWW! Food in the morning sounds horrible. Maybe I'll check back after 3pm when my morning sickness is almost gone

hope you feel better new

 

[lisaf]

oh my god, I'm jealous that there is a McDonalds that delivers in NY... though I imagine they have trouble keeping the food warm on multiple deliveries... its hard enough to get my food home and still have it warm enough to enjoy.
We're actually quite deprived here as we barely have any drive-thrus they won't let them build them in most areas here

I knew I should think twice before watching that episode of House last night.. but I thought I'd be strong enough but I bawled anyway.. dealing with a sick baby etc...

Threw up again this morning.. .dang cat food ... I haven't agreed to DH's proposal of him feeding the cats and me feeding the dog. I don't like dealing with the wet dog food we have and not all the cat foods seem to get to me... so I plan on going shopping for the ones I know don't make me puke and giving it one more shot before doing the dog food instead.

Hi ladies hope everyone is doing fine not been on this thread in a while and have no chance of catching up!! You girls can talk!! Gonna try and make a bit more of an effort to keep up with the pages but its difficult with a 14 month old running circles round me!!

You've prob discussed this already but can't believe that the due July ladies will be arriving soon!! They would be 3+4 today (I'm sad I know ) but that'll make us feel even further along!! Are any of the May ladies in 2nd tri yet? Can't wait to get to that magic 12 week point.

Anyhow, have had my first scan last week and saw the hb it was 173bpm which I seem to remember my daughter's being similar. Baby was 1.76cm at 8+1 which puts my duedate at 23rd May. Can't wait for my next scan and I have my booking apt at the hospital on Weds

Talking about feeling hormonal I had a big crying fit this morning for no reason whatsoever apart from I felt like poo and didn't think I could cope with being pregnant and "life isn't fun anymore"!! Don't know where that one came from and DH just looked at me in shock!!! Isn't also helping that I have quit smoking (again ) and that's making me want to chew my arm off its been a couple of weeks now but think the hormones of pregnancy make it harder.
