[mummy3]

Hi ladies

Sorry been away, crazy busy day, took the kids to walmart this afternoon Got one of those gender predictor tests from cvs too so gonna try that tomorrow..

24/7 you really shouldnt have been treated like that I know where you are coming from with the weight, and if people dont understand they make assumptions!

Lisa, about the food allergies, I have a fat intolerance, in that my bowel cant absorb it properly, yet when pregnant cant resist any of the stuff im ment to avoid Is it possible this could be the case with your friend?

Date night tomorrow Mil got all kids in the evening and she wants to take 2 of them out for the day too, so mega rest time!!

Hopeful, I would say im pretty boring when pregnant/breastfeeding, I will have the odd coffee but no alcohol or cigarettes. That said, your right its very important to find an ob you mesh with

I'm so much more relaxed about what I eat this pregnancy, I was so strict with James but I just made myself miserable. This time I'm just eating what I fancy, doesn't help that last time I was so sick! I've cut the alcohol but I'm still bf so haven't really introduced it back into my diet just the odd glass so that wasn't to hard.

I've finally got my first appointment through, it's next Monday the 25th, it seems to have taken ages!

 

[Wiggler]

I'm not too strict with food when i'm pregnant, I still like the occasional coca cola or dr pepper (although not the Diet or Zero ones, they taste disgusting with all the extra additives that are in it) I got the OK from my MW to eat runny eggs (as long as they are fresh and lion stamped, and the white is cooked through) but in general i tend to steer towards the healthier foods because they just taste delish! Especially anything home made.
I was watching Jamie Oliver 30 Minute Meals yesterday and practically drooling at the telly.

I'm really happy today!! Its Bacon, egg and salad sandwich day! i have been wanting this all week. Yipee!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[wild2011]

lol wiggler. i bought bacon and eggs last night, really fancying them since u mentioned them, though i cant even drink a moutful of juice or water so far to take my folic acid. booooooo.. i hate runny eggs, i like mine solid lol, my mw on other hand was making a big hoo har over eating ne runny egg. no probs ud have to force feed me runny ones lol. i'd like to stop feeling sick for just ten mins or so, this last 48 hours is a killer, its constant. i was diagnosed with hyperemesis last pregnancy, at around this time, ive now been told to wait a further 48 hours and if its not eased im in for my drip. which insures i and baby stay healthy but by god it doesn't make me feel ne better. xx

 

[Wiggler]

aww hun, sorry your feeling ill

I had my egg and bacon sarnie, it wasnt as nice as i thought it would be. I'm actually really dissapointed. Aah well, at least tuesday i'm getting cheesecake and a big tube of twiglets

 

[hopefulmama]

Ya I'm having issues taking my prenatal vitamins, they are the noly thing that make me very sick, especially with I take the omega 3 fish oil, the bottle says they are odorless i beg to differ.

Wiggler, I have a major addiction to Dr Pepper, not even funny... I allow myself 2 a week.... i'd drink it all the time if I could.

 

[hopefulmama]

good lord, I just saw some pics with cheryl tweedy.cole whatever w/out makeup.. I think she is so beautiful... Like it's nauseating to me.. I was in london last month having dinenr with some gay friends of mine and it was like this divided table of nadine fans and cheryl fans.. I personally think nadine looks like she has a huge head and an eating disorder, doesn't have anything on cheryl..it's funny how riled up the gay boys get about it though..

that was my random thought of the day for the opinion of you ladies across the pond

 

[new_to_ttc]

Hiya ladies

Hopeful I think you're right that the European stance on pregnancy is far more relaxed. Dont eat runny eggs, pate, shell fish etc but wine and stuff they say its all about moderation.

I feel a little bit ok today, bit icky, but ok My mum is coming over to see me for a few days (and dad lol) which will be lovely They take a bit of the pressure off with Joshua and its great to have some adult company about Infact I think I just heard them pull up lol Only taken them most of the day to get here bless lol

24/7 your MW sounds appalling and I would definitely ask for another. I had a problem with Joshua that the MW didnt undertsnad, but fair play she just did some research and educated both me and her You dont have to put up with that verbal crap from anyone, certainly not someone in a position of power like that!

Hope everyone is ok mummy enjoy your date night! Whats the gender thingy you got??

 

[hopefulmama]

New- Ya, there dr's here r major over prescribers and worry warts. Also funny you said pate, that's how i first suspected I was pregnant, because all i wanted was foie gras, any chance I got to pick where I was going out for dinner I made it french so I could get a charcuterie plate that had foie gras. I don't really like runny eggs and i'm allergic to shell fish so i am good but i love me some pate or foie.

Wiggler- I have to avoid food channels, because anything i see that looks amazing I need that moment, and jamie oliver always is cooking something I want. I don't think you guys get barefoot contessa there, but it's this amazing older woman who is a bit of a snob from the Hamptons but makes the best food on almost every episode... I became so obsessed with it a couple years ago that i printed out all her recipes I fancied and made a cook book with different labeled areas for different meals.

 

[wild2011]

its fairly quiet in here today, gish i still havn't managed to eat or drink feeling drained at the mo andc day time tv is pants! x

 

[hopefulmama]

Wild-I love your daughters names, they're beautiful!

 

[wild2011]

thanks xx

 

[twinmummy06]

arghhhh, first night in a long time im asleep by 9pm
then other half has to cook apple pie doesnt he. the smell woke me up so now i feel sick from the pie haha AND im wide awake!
on another note my first doctors appt in on tuesday. apparently as the MW was telling me, the doctor is a downright activist of "once a c-section always a c-section" so i basically have to convince him.... he better let me or i'll give him a piece of my mind and then consider moving towns i mean, im sure 4 years is more than enough time to at least get the chance to try a natural labour

 

[wild2011]

twinmummy- go for it, put your points across, it's your body. x

i've tried all day to upload of all my girls, but i think file size too big so can only get the baby on her own tut. its stressing me out now lol x

 

[mummy3]

twinmummy, you tell em!! I told my ob in no uncertain terms Im having a vbac my last was a c section for placenta previa, shes 14m now.

new, the gender thing is called intelligender, you basically pee in a tub lol and if it changes to green its a boy and if its orange means a girl. Mine went GREEN Its $40 in the states, not sure about in the UK but maybe ebay?!

Yeah daytime tv is rubbish, the kids are watching the same episode of curious george thats been on at least 3 times this week

BTW theres new flavours of pop tarts out for those that like them, vanilla and strawberry milkshake

 

[wild2011]

ive seen those intelligender and other similar here in uk for around £20-£30, im tempted but dubious, i could buy a steriliser for that much, if they worked doctors would use them to determine gender , will see how long i manage to go wiv out being tempted to buy one again lol x

yay mummy3, wonder if u have a blue bump then?


x

 

[lovepink]

Hello Ladies!

Please can i join? Im due 20.05.11. Currently feeling very sick and tired xxx

 

[lisaf]

How do the gender tests work? If it looks for testosterone then it may not work for me? My testosterone was on the high side... it was within normal for a woman (mine was around 60.. my doc said he didn't like to see it above 40)... so I'm afraid it would say boy just because of that, lol!

hopeful - maybe try a different omega-3? Mine has no fishy smell or taste at all.. its kind of pricey because its super high grade (good quality, safe fish etc).
prenatals can also make you sick with the iron in them... some women don't need the iron and it can make you feel bad... I know I felt sick after taking my prenatals (I wasn't pregnant)... I had to switch to regular multivitamins with extra folic acid.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Hello Parents are here and made me a lovely dinner yum!!! Proper food mmmmm hehe Although dad is on my sofa and Im ready to curl up for my nap in front of the tv lol

Mummy that test kit sounds very tempting lolol Be a wonder to see if its very accurate hehe Cant wait for your gender scan now lol

 

[luckyme225]

OMG mummy3, you made me want a poptart. I literally want to run to the store and pick up a s'mores one.

Two of my friends got an accurate result on the intellagender, so kinda makes me curious to try. Then again there is a 50/50 chance of being right lol.

What is everyone doing for Halloween? I don't know what I'm going to do because I can't tell if my stomach is going to grow more or what. We are probably going to look at some costumes today.
