Madcat you might benefit from a girdle. If I remember I'll bring mine on wed for you to try.

Oh bum. DH and boy backand instead on sleeping I cleaned the windows.

On the pushing thing madcat there are a number if aspects to the "don't push". One is that the mw things you need to do little pushes during crowning. Another is that you have a cervical lip and they think you're not dilated. I read an intetesting article about this the other day and the long and short of it is a cervical lip does not mean you're not dilated and pushing is fine. Thing is, it's impossible to not push. Believe me I tried! If your body is pushing it's pushing, end of story.

Cor anyone ever get braxton hicks that wind you?! Must be tense up against my diaphragm.

Nope, I told him I had ran out and he wouldn't give me more. He told me to keep taking the acid reducer one time a day. *sigh* I hate doctors.

Oh Peanut I haven't cleaned our windows on the outside for ages, I feel guilty now.

 

[PeanutBean]

We have a window cleaner once a month, this was cleaning the inside! We get mould because of the house being ancient and draughty so the edges were getting really vile. I'm such a skeg.

 

[molly85]

our windows haven't been done since we moved here whoops.
Girdle thats the name of the thing ihave been suggested. atleast my exercises usually work.
Are you guys meeting up?
Not sure I have had braxton hicks yet just weird period style pain and cervical pain.

Not sure what i can recommend Ozzie have you got antisickness braclets?

On the cat issue you can get nets to go ove thercot to protect teh baby from the cat jumping in. Thank Fully molly istrained to leave a room though I would never ban her from a room and will be using baby gates and the travel cot. SHe's generally very good will even go up and down stairs on command lol. I am hoping to do lots of walks so molly sees abby as the maker of walks so a good thing

Ah but all things change when a baby comes. The cats can get very jealous.

Head wetting isn't a big thing in the US so I was very confused when DH mentioned it. We have a cat as well and she's just going to have to learn not to go near baby. I'm sure she'll manage fine. Both dogs are going to new homes before the baby. Mostly because we're going to be moving in a year or so and we want to make sure they get good homes.

Hopefully it'll be that easy for you. My friend tried that and the cat got jealous of it's mom playing with baby and being with baby and it started urinating all over baby's stuff when they weren't watching.

And WHY are you getting rid of the dogs? most of the time dogs do better with the transition of kids coming in then cats do. Just asking

my friend has a cat who had never been around a child before - not knowing this i bought my 2 year old to visit her before she had her baby but honestly the cat would jump and bound and be overly playful with the adults and hated being stroked but when my son walked over to her she would lay down and just let him stroke her and didnt bounde all over him nipping his arms or anything, safe to say the cat is really well behaved around her baby so you never know, i am not sure whether they did anything like those plug ins that are supposed ot release calming scents or whatever though

I babysat a friend's kid and my cat had never been around kids. She was good but a bit frightened of the baby- as it was walking around and she would run and hide. He never came in contact with her, but she didn't like it. Peed on my bed later to show me how much she didn't like it. The baby was here for maybe 2 hours at most.

You just can't tell. They might not be aggressive- but they will show you later they are displeased.

Dare molly is a jack russel not a cat, so slightly more reasonable and less watching liek a hawk. this is why I would not trust her with the baby in the moses basket next to the bed when shes in there and wouldn't leave them alone on the floor so we have a travel cot to use as a sort ofplay pen so molly can see abby and abby can see molly. molly has gone through a lot of trauma in her life but generally been obedient so I am hopeful

OH, i take it a girdle has a similar effect that my band is having then?, yeh if you have one and youre not using it yourself then great bring it along, might be even better if thats ment to do the job in hand!.

Y'know, only these last few weeks ive noticed ive been getting BH, at 1st i thought it was the baby going into a hard curled up position, but then i realised it was BH, what with the hard tummy (a little tightening too), it only ever happens below my belly button though!

molly, you'll notice braxton hicks because your bump will go real hard for a small while!!.

yes molly, ive talked peanut into letting me try taking some mat photos of her, we probably live the closest out of all over us, albeit not that close!

 

[PeanutBean]

I feel them most strongly below by waist too.

I got it last time as recommended by my mw but it was for my tummy muscles and so entirely the wrong thing. I best have a look at it in case it needs a wash...

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thanks for the article Peanut

 

[PeanutBean]

That's our plan Molly. I have to visit my sister as i've not seen her since before Christmas and she is in N Wales so not too far away from madcat. It will all depend on how sick I feel on wed though!

 

[madcatwoman]

well id certainly give it a go and see how it feels if you remember it, ta!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Peanut I might print that article for DH nearer delivery and get him to read so here aware what hes looking for

 

[PeanutBean]

I found it a bit itchy to wear all day but it would probably be good for you to wear on walks and doing housework. It's got three size adjustments so I'm sure would fit. I'll have a check tonight and stick it in the machine if if needs it but I probably washed it before storing it.

Weird thread on mould in third tri in which someone confidently said our cells are all made of hydrogen peroxide. Baffling. I don't expect people to be particularly au fait with cell biology but such a confident assertion (entirely incorrect) had bewildered me! Lol

A friend of mine said she stuck it to her kitchen cupboard (homebirth) and I'm thinking of doing likewise. Glad it's been useful for you.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Now thats a good idea

Considering DH seems to have recently been abducted by aliens and replaced with someone on drugs am open to anything to make him get the point

Sorry love! thought you were talking about a cat! Have been thinking my next dog might be a jack- i am a sucker for hounds and terriers. Not all breeds in those groups but, quite a few of them! Love those jacks though. Especially when they are running- their legs go so fast they look like they are running on air.

I'm sure she'll be great!!!!!

 

[molly85]

Ohh have fun with the photo shoot. My physio suggested wering the girdle over clothes as it can be uncomfy to sit in so your whipping it on and off.
Nomore and I are about half an hour apart I think.

Some one asked about antenatal classes ahile ago and i meant to answer. We are attending 3 hospital proper antenatal classes, an active birth class and 2 physio classes. Plus we are waiting to find dates for baby resus. We have both done it a number of times but not so much on the babies

And this is molly dare, not a real jack more of a cross between a spaniel puppy and a cat lol

 

[PeanutBean]

Oh I did resus as the baby group. God I've forgotten most of it though... Remind us of the timings when you do yours Molly! We should get a sticky in baby club if there isn't one already. I remember to do compressions with two fingers...
