Mother of all conception months Graduates

Thanks Madly had myself a good old sniffle. My dad was very nice and cheered me up. Turns out he has had a stroke so has been given 48 hours to go one way or the other which is weirdly good news.

I think we will be going with Roger William now as William is Matts Grandads name the Girl names I have picked are from my family so it works quite well.

Sounds more like low blood sugar than high blood sugar madly, or low blood pressure. def worth atleast having your blood sugar done with the gp or nurse or even in a pharmacy rather than go through the whole GTT nightmare.

Ladies a note for when your babies are older if anything ever happens to some one they care about don't lie to them or not tell them stuff, tell them exactly what is going on kids are tough and will understand better if they know. No one has told Matts 16 year old cousin her grandfather might die or that he has had a stroke and she thinks he will be a fine, Matts 15 year old brother is a bit more aware. I had to check what I could say to them though it was his brother who called Matt to tell him. Having nearly lost my mum a few times and my parents went for honesty it's so much easier to handle and others don't have to walk on egg shells. Death and illness are part of life. Mini rant over, anyone have a tissue i have tear snot on my nose

We will be fine first grandparent Matt might loose, I've lost all mine by the age of 13 so know what it feels like. I think knowing what's gong on has cheered matt up a bit. we'll have a cuddle when he gets home, unless he stays at his mums

Madly, sounds like you have done some expanding recently too then.
these last two evenings ive also recieved two hard(-er..than normal)kicks to the side of my lower stomach, and what with being ticklish there they have really made me jump!. those little hands/feet/knees whatever are really getting strong now.

i also agree, your dizzy spells sound more like a low sugar than high!

 

[molly85]

haveu had them jam a limb in your stomach muscles down there? bleeding hurts.

 

[madcatwoman]

erm, it doesnt hurt, but with the force i feel when this does happen from time to time it does feel like he's kicking the muscle/ligament, he does it, i jump, then he stops, as if to say "whats your problem?!!"

all my kicks and jabs are always lower stomach area, or even lower than that, the most i feel towards my ribs are occassional flutters, anyone else the same?

its nice to know hes growing stronger though!

 

[molly85]

it's more a continuas poke it get there but yep most stuff is south of the border I think being a few weeks behind makes a difference

Happy V days girls and Gilz of course happy 20 weeks

 

[gilz82]

Oh Molly hon I hope everything turns out ok

Madly definitely go and get yourself checked out if you are feeling horrible

Bids if you are lurking good luck for tomorrow, let's see if Madly's got another one right

As for my bargains didn't get any Boots have sold out of the car seat in the colour we wanted and we didn't buy the isofix either as the car seat for when the jellybean is bigger can only go in an isofix car and my OHs car doesn't have isofix so back to the drawing board.

oh gilz, have you been trying boots online?, thats where our stuff as been coming from, between boots and the next sale and one thing from mothercare we have courier deliveries expected coming out of our backsides now,next keep bringing things in dribs and drabs every day.

 

[molly85]

If it makes you feel better all car seats are made to certain safty standards so you could get 1 from asda or one from halfords they are all the same except for the fancy touches, does it need to fit your pram?
Maybe consider buying a 0-3 one for the car and a standard 0 for your car

 

[gilz82]

It was Boots online we'd seen the carseat Madcat, it's not the end of the world we'll get it at some point.

The carseat is the one that combines with the pram Molly so when the jellybean is small we'll have to get that one. After the point when he's big enough for a group 1 seat it won't really matter. Think I was just more excited about buying something, rather than excited about what I was buying if that makes sense. These would have been the first things we've bought for the baby.

I shouldn't bother about it, I'm positive quite shortly we'll have bought loads of stuff.

 

[molly85]

get shopping girl, its very soothing and remember vat goes up on the 3rd

Gilz if it helps I rarely used the carseat on our pram. It's useful but not necessary. They're not to be in them for more than two hours because the shale compresses the spine so a car drive, round the shops and home was usually too long and we'd transfer Byron to the pram. What pram have you got? Our baby seat has an isofix base so the seat can be used with or without isofix in the car. Most can do both or just seatbelt.

Hugest hugs Molly. I know where you're coming from. DH's maternal grandma died when mil was 16 and granddad last year but they were not at all close. He's hugely close to his dad's grandparents who are well into their 80s and unwell. They're both on that downward path of illness. I only had one granny who died when I was 19. I was devastated. DH doesn't really know how it feels and I really worry about how he'll cope when the time comes.

Madcat I get similar. I think her feet are always inward so kicking against my guts and stomach. Lots of twiddley fingers in my pelvis which sometimes tickle. With Byron his knees always stuck out so I had loads of movement from them and he'd often hook his toes under my ribs which is just horrible! I find the movement makes me nauseous like travel sickness.

not only bump buddies, but we seem to have all the same movements, i too feel him kick my guts, litterally my bowels sometimes!,kicks towards my inners and outters, and like you so many twiddly little movements down low, thats where the HB is so it must be his hands.

get shopping girl, its very soothing and remember vat goes up on the 3rd

thats why, while we were at it, we decided to get the cot too, not only was is in the sale, but we remembered the VAT too!

 

[molly85]

Thanks peanut,it's going to be tough he hides alot of stuff inside

 

[PeanutBean]

It's a head down position madcat though I think mine is a bit diagonal as my bump is often firm to the right. Sometimes she really shuffles about high up but I reckon a lot goes inside where I don't feel so much and where it gives me gut and stomach ache!

Can't believe it's so close to work time now. We've got visitors thu, fri and sat, two days then back. At least I can count down to my leave then I suppose.

 

[molly85]

dang is that what i keep feeling in my butt is abby kicking my bowel lol. typicali ddnt know that

youre right about the shuffling around, i do feel that alot, like body rolls and all sorts. only once have i found the HB near my belly button,i dont think he heads up that way very often at all. I often see my bump as if its more poking over to the right or the left. Would be interesting to see with our own eyes how theyre lying in there!

:haha

yes our babies think its amusing to kick our bowels inside as well as our tummies outside!

 

[molly85]

at 12 weeks it was head down cycling away so could easily be doing star jumps i there.
