November Due Dates (cont)

I definitely agree we should have a post-birth board, whatever we decide to call it!
 
It took us one month to get pregnant lol.... Me and DH must be fertile turtles lol... I had lost 100lbs between giving birth and getting pregnant... I def think that helped a lot.. Doctor told me I had PCOS but I really think it was my weight.. messing with my hormones..
 
Speaking of nips..... I have read that it is common for bb's to start getting sore again around this time due to colostrum production. Have any of you started having this yet?

I have noticed in the last few days my nips are REALLY sensitive again, just like in first tri. The shower hurts them, my shirt rubbing against them w/o a bra hurts. I was happy when my bb's went back to normal, minus the added two cups sizes :winkwink: but now its sensitive city all over again.
 
my nips are more sensitive now especially in the shower, but nothing like first trimester.
 
I got a question ladies, I wore this outfit earlier on and some random woman was literally giving me hell about wearing a waist belt and being pregnant.
Are they really that dangerous?
She was telling me how i'm squashing the baby and giving it no room to move. For a start, the belt is against my ribs and it was on the loosest hole, so wasn't tight at all. I made sure of that! Plus my bump has always been really low so i've never seen it as a problem, do i just ignore her, or is he right?

oh my gosh! that sounds ridiculous... I'd ignore her. You look precious!
 
That's what i thought! It didn't even cross my mind that wearing a belt would be so dangerous!! Maybe they should add that to the list of pregnancy no-go's ;) xx
 
That outfit is just adorbale! I think you would be the first to know if your squishing the lo.
I have a friend who is a month ahead of me and is still wearing her regular jeans and belts!! Now thats dangerous considering its so low and she is NOT the same size she was pre-pregnancy (she is in denial about her body) and she wonders why she is always hurting :dohh:
 
I think as long as you are comfortable your not doing anything bad with the baby. I think it'll hurt you long before it starts to hurt the LO!

My LO has had the hiccups for the last 2 minutes :O I don't know if I've ever had them so obvious before!

Momma you could well be producing colostrum. I think some ladies do it much earlier than ever this!.
 
im in denial about my body too... i refuse to buy maternity.
ive never been a jeans girl.. but i still wear my dresses and skirts from pre pregnancy and they are getting tighter! lol
 
I think skirts and dresses from pre-pregnancy are fine as long as you are comfortable. I still wear mine as well. In fact, I think they look cuter with a bump. (i have never been a fan of really tight dresses) I cant even fit into the first pair of maternity jeans I bought 4 months ago :haha: let alone my pre-pregnancy jeans.

Sarah my LO had the hiccups for 30 minutes last night!! I got worried that something was wrong since it lasted so long, but was assured when I read that hiccups are actually a good sign of a healthy baby. Crazy to think right?

Today has brought a burst of energy for me :happydance: Im going to shower, pick up DS from school, and then I am tackeling one of the closets in our home like ive said I was going to do for the last few days :blush:
Wish me luck!! lol They are bad atm and in desperate need of pitching and re-organizing
 
Thanks girls :)

Destiny - You should invest in some maternity items, they are sooo comfy!! I bought some cotton yoga bottoms from H&M and they are just amazing. I have a feeling i will be wearing them after I've had the baby too lol.

Although now, i'm starting to outgrow my maternity clothes :blush: lol Shopping trip!! :D xx
 
I think that outfit is cute! I'm sure you'd know if little one was uncomfortable she'd let you know. If mine gets uncomfortable, she pushes against me until I move.

I like my maternity clothes. They make the bump look so cute!

Mine HURT!!!!

probably TMI, but I get little drops of clear liquid out of them when I squeeze them, and that makes the pain stop.... lol!
 
Lucy, there's no way you're hurting the baby.

Aaaaaaaaaaa, again! By the time I get up, finish house-related chores, get my arse to work (working a stupid shift this month, really!), there are like 40 new pages here!

I think I already shared our TTC story, but I might as well do it again.

We got the BFP in the 9th cycle, right before our first medicated IUI. I was about to call the hospital to let them know when I wanted my HSG to be ran, but instead a reported a second line. We started working on the baby knowing it would be pretty hard (we had a meeting with a fertility specialist regarding some genetic issues and options, blabla), because we ended up with a slightly shitty SA and horrible result from my AMH blood draw.

So we're definitely expecting a surprise baby. Not so much a surprise since we worked hard on it, but, well, it wasn't expected at all. Even the FS didn't believe and I had to do two sets of beta draws and whatnot, haha. It sure did save us thousands of dollars. ;)
 
I've also outgrown the maternity clothes I bought in the beginning... oops! It looks like there may be a shopping trip in my near future as well :) Oh, and I am wearing a pre-pregnancy dress today :) Considering some of my maternity pants are a bit snug across the lower half of my bump thanks to my ever expanding hips/butt/thighs, it's so much more comfortable to wear a dress for now.
 
It's weird, my nips aren't sore but my boob in general r starting to get hard and tender again! Thought tbh was just way I lay on m in bed... Obviously not so! If my nips hurt I do same and squeeze a few drops out! Helps although cause I'm not bf'ing maybe I shouldn't encourage this lol

I still wear all my pre preg jeggings and track suits I've a few tops that r riding up so I don't wear them but still wearing most of my clothes... It's mostly my bras and knickers I've had to change! I mistakingly put on a pre preg thong the other day... Ha ye man did I get a wedgie lol

I've smelly heartburn to night (when I belch I smell like a dirty old mans fart lol) it's so mortifying! Need to warn oh I'm gonna be smelling the bed tonight ha! And baby's doing like a shuffle to night instead of kicks?? Any one else get this? My whole belly just wobbling every few mins... Crazy child lol
 
I could wear my regular pants but I love my maternity pants lol There just a lot more comfy than regular pants...I wear everything pre-pregnancy except my pants lol I agree about the snore nipples its mostly my right one though which is weird lol
 
Most of my maternity clothes, especially tops, are actually oversized. I guess I overestimated myself, so now I'm stuck with loose clothing I hate. They are okay-ish around the bump, but I hate T-shirts or just about any tops that dance around your boobs or in the back.

I mostly wear my prepregnacy tops, except for those that no longer cover my belly button, haha. Then I have maternity bottoms, but I only find those with a full panel to be comfortable. Everything else cuts into me wrong and it kind of hurts too. Prepregancy skirts with elastic or folded waists, as well as prepregnancy dresses are just fine. So is my underwear, including bras (I just had to go back to the bras I wore before I lost my last batch of weight). We have a stupid work dress code so I had to actually purchase some things, argh.

For yoga and some other random things, I'm fine with regular yoga pants, etc.
 
Bookity - already thinking of another :shock: haha no more here for us

Loved reading all your ttc stories ladies! And yes we should do a post-baby group :)

Lucy - definitely not hurting the baby - what a silly comment!!

MommaB - my nipples have gone really sore and itchy again and my boobies keep leaking (especially if I squeeze them) lol

And pregnancy clothes - most of mine still fit from when I first got them, can't fit in any pre-preg clothes really, and I live in maternity leggings even after birth - so much more comfier than normal leggings :haha:
