Forums New posts
Took a nap and woke up about to pee myself from kick. Dog was all cuddled up and justn about impossible to get to bathroom.

I am doing no middle name. I knew someone growing up who her and siblings do not have middle names and always liked that idea. My Mom...has not yet adjusted to that idea just yet.

Been having easier time eating last few days and even craved a few ON HAND items:) But after buying 5 tomatoes it seems I can not eat them. But can eat cherubs or grape tomatoes just fine. ??? lol
 
So many boys!!! Congrats! Can't wait to see what the rest of you are having! :)
 
Had my midwife appointment today and she said the spotting was most likely due to the vomiting and said not to worry unless it's actual bleeding or doesn't stop so that's a relief.
I mean its the same advice I was given in other pregnancies but I always manage to worry anyways.

I asked about home birth options and apparently they don't do gas and air at home. She said there was talk of them doing it but they decided that it made people too spaced out and that they need people to be able to push a baby out quickly.

soooo now I have to get my head around another drug free birth otherwise it will be hospital.

I think I can do it. I'm nervous as heck when I think about it but I think I'll be fine going drug free again. I'm glad I asked now as I have 20 something weeks to get used to the idea :p
I can also hire a birthing pool for really cheap.

Have my 20 week scan in less than a week now (next Monday) I really don't want to know what we are having now and I'm scared I'm going to see a willy flash and have the surprise ruined for us lol I'm so determined to stay team yellow!
 
Glad to hear everyone is settling into pregnancy! I am definitely getting rounder. I went to a family party this weekend, and since we moved far away, I haven't seen most of my family for 6+ months, nor have I made the official announcement...and they were all shocked that not only was I preggers, but I am also finding out what the baby is on Friday!


It is much easier to keep secrets when you move away from everyone you know! Lol. I am going to make the official Facebook announcement after we find out the sex on Friday. I think I am going to pose my daughter with corresponding color balloons and make a cute rhyming phrase to go with the picture. Something simple.

I am excited to see many of you ladies are approaching your V-day. So exciting!

Look into hypnobirthing, it's fab :-) I just used a cd rather than classes and will be using it again this time (also planning hb). Xx
 
3 Weeksuntil my ultrasound,we are having the nurse write down the gender so we won't find out for almost a week after!
 
Ljo thanks ill look into it :) ive never looked into that stuff before so its all new territory to me :p
 
It's really useful, teaches how fear cause increased pain levels, so how to breath and trust your body etc etc, really relaxing. You've plenty of time still I won't start properly till around 30+ weeks. Xx

Geralyn one of my OH's cousins gave her son 5 or 6 middle names! I don't even think she remembers them all:haha:

I think my belly bump doubled in size over night. I have "popped" since yesterday. I went to a bridal shower on Saturday and people were nervously asking my friends mom "I thought you said Elsa was pregnant" before coming up to me to ask about the pregnancy. Apparently I still didn't look pregnant due to my outfit and everyone's been shocked that I'm 18 weeks along.

In other news, I have my anatomy scan tomorrow:).

I'm a little nervous about it, only because I've been gaining so very little. I've been feeling lots of movement since last week so I know the baby's fine. I'm just nervous that my first trimester weight loss paired with minimal weight gain back might be affecting the baby (only gained back 3 lbs and still down 7 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight). I don't have any reason to think it is affecting the baby, but I'm nervous that I'll go tomorrow and find out s/he is measuring small.

I am excited to find out the gender though:). Anyone else experiencing/experienced weight concerns on the not gaining end?

Don't feel too nervous! I have only gained 2 pounds so far and I'll be 21 weeks this weekend, my doctor said not to worry. My uterus is the correct size when measured and I can feel her moving around. She said "You have 20 more weeks to gain weight, don't worry about it now!" Good luck though, I hope every thing is good and baby is measuring on time :)
 
Elsa I haven't gained much weight yet either but I was the same with my other pregnancies so I'm not too worried. I think it's just another one of those things where all women are different. Good luck for your scan :-)

Our scan is a week today! Going shopping for some baby stuff afterwards with my sister, can't wait!
 
Can't wait to see all the gender scans this week!

As to the weight question I gained 1lb since my last visit. Overall a total of 11, but I think my weight may have dropped this week due to some stress going on at home. I have a really hard time eating when I get stressed out.
 
Aww so is it majority boys on here now? I find out in the 28th- I have no preference though as already so blessed with one of each.

As for weight gain- I'm generally petite and weigh about 46kg at the start- I now weigh between 50-51kg. It seems like iv put alot on but I needed too and I'm happy.

Has anyone else not felt baby move yet? I'm worried because I haven't :(

Xxx
 
Nausea is back full force :( trying so hard to get up but it's so bad. I need to eat but I will get sick as soon as I get up.. It's my cats 3rd birthday and I want to go get her some yummy cat grass and gourmet wet food and a new toy.. Hoping it passes soon!

Question: Has anyone used two middle names for their child? Is there room on the birth certificate? And how would that work when filling out forms? Would he use one middle name? both? initials?
