Well to the group massoma8489..

I cant really help with eating healthy because i eat so much junk lol. But i have added alot more fruit to my diet this past week which i think it doing me and baby good she bit more active now. All i can say it make sure your add at least some fruit and drink as much water as you can but saying that i think it doesnt really matter tbh..

Before i got pregnant i just controll how much i eat making protions smaller and only eating when i feel hungry which right now pretty hard lol so i have tried to stay on a diet so im going to wait until baby is born xx

Hey there ladies!!! Welcome to massoma

Seth- Awesome pics of the bump!! can't wait until I have that Hope your midwife comes soon i know you are very close to due date and want everything to go smoothly for you

Sparkle- I really hope you can get a good nights sleep soon and that you can get some answers at your appointment

Cottleston- I really hope things go better at your appointment there is no reason for him to be treating you that way. If he does it again make sure you stand up for yourself because you deserve some respect!!!

Have an appointment with an early pregnancy specialist this afternoon, a little nervous but only because I have no idea what to expect. Thankfully the passing issue is done but still having stabbing pains down there hopefully might get a better estimate on how far along I am and maybe get to see or hear the little one Had a rough day yesterday just plain stressful.. DH and I are both still looking for work and waiting on government assistance but have been totally broke for over a month now. Had to ask for help and got ripped a new one from his mother. I know she really doesn't like me and that just confirmed it... but i am putting it behind me cause I have enough to deal with trying to make sure the lil one is ok. more weeks until my 12 wk scan and 2nd prenantal on thursdat ... going to be a busy couple of weeks and hopefully it will help distract me from the meds/pain.... went 18 hours the other day!! it started to get really uncomfortable but I am trying to push it as far as i can... I want to bve off them yesterday lol Hope everyone has a good day

Sending happy and healthy thoughts to all of you wonderful ladies

Im no expert here lol. But iv been very good with weight gain during this pregnancy, id advise you to get as many of your favorite veg as pos, but cook them in a healthy way if you can, such as steaming, lightly boiling, or eating them raw. Any dark green veg are great for iron, which your body and baby will need quite a bit of, such as spring greens, brocolli, dark cabbage, kale, kale is also great for calcium too!
Fruit is also great, but remember that it has a lot of sugars in it, even though they are natural sugars, you dont wana go mad on them.
Healthier cooking is the key I believe, and proper portion size.

I put a pic up of my 31 week bump on fb, but then had to remove it, it seems I have too many know it alls on my page.

ok so first thing first.. an update. The midwife finally came out just after 12. It was deff my bloody show this morning... and Ethan is now engaged in my pelvis which means hes made progress since Thursday She said i could go any time but wouldnt do an internal examination incase it made things progress further.. but at this point they wouldnt stop it if it does happen. SO if i have contractions for more than an hour that wont go away with a bath/hot water bottle/paracetamol then iv to cal and if they are at the local office then they will come out and examine me.
Also on a bummer note... My swab came back and i have Strep B again SO if i dont get there quick enough for my ELCS or have eaten (which i am doing in around 10 mins) then I'll have to have the silly drip through labor again and be monitored closely
SO on one point im all EEEKKKKKKKK I could have a baby sooner rather than later.. im also all oh shit omg omg omg what if it does happen.. coz i have nobody that can have Seth.. so will have to do it all by myself! My mum is working, BIL is working and also hurt his foot so cant drive... dad is working... wouldnt trust my friend to have him SO in a way i want it to happen.. but at the same time i dont want it to happen.
Oh yeah and she really is rubbish at measuring :S She measured me on thursday and put 38 weeks FH... yet today im suddenly 41 weeks FH.. BUT she didnt measure tight on my stomach.. she did it over my pants :S silly midwife.. BUT she was a lot nicer today than she usually is.


Cherry - It does help some babies sleep better as it reminds them of being in the womb. Seth always slept well when swaddled.
If it has a funny smell mention it to the midwife.. it shouldnt smell. Mine does and its turned out to be Strep B, but it is normal the further on you get to get a lot more discharge hun

Jenny - Glad your arms not sore today hun.. hopefully that means its on the mend
:S you seriously had to take your pic off :S what were people saying?

Sparkle - yup i was pretty pissed lol. espesh since it was on my side of the bed.. thank heavens i have fabric freshner!
hun mention your headaches tomorrow too.. surely thats not normal to be getting migraines every night that must be so awful, i feel so bad for you!

massoma8489 hey hun!! urgh im no good with the healthy eating advice to be honest, but agree with what Jenny said Congratulations on your pregnancy hun Wishing you a very healthy and happy pregnancy

Kris - Thanks hun I thought my bump was bigger but its not that big to be honest lol
Good luck with your appointment!! I hope it goes really well for you Cant wait for an update later on with how far on you are. Well done on the 18hours with no meds.. i know just how hard that is when your so used to them!! Before i got pregnant with ds1 i was on strong dyhydracodeine and had to come straight off it, no weaning involved.
oh no i hope you can get help with your financial situation soon hun, its not nice when your struggling so much his mother sounds like a nasty peice of work.

OH and a miwi update for you all - No progress as of yet.. shes had pessary number 1 and has been allowed to go for a walk EEKKK im proba not the only one but im so excited for her


xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Cherrybump]

Oh glad someone is in touch with hun lol.

Glad the app went well seths. means baby isnt far off from coming now. but hopfully holds out bit longer for you to find someone to look after little seth.

Jenny glad the arm is getting better i took pik of mines made this funny mark lol but it did take so long to heal back..

My being lazy now ive put the oven cleaning stuff in a bag and letting it do its work lol so im watching charmed again lol x

 

[Jenny_J]

Omg seths, im so excited for you! :-D

Yeah people kept telling me there are two in there, or im having a giant baby, im really sick of hearing these dumb ass comments. Iv said time and time again there is one baby. And she is measuring a week ahead only. Maybe im being overly sensitive? But im just sick of the dumb comments, so no more pics for fb now.One friend told me I looked like I was going to explode, :-/

What funny mark cherry? Was yours swollen, hurty and red too? I can move my arm wothput pain now :-D

Iv heard that coffee can make your breast milk taste bitter, anyone know if its true? Iv switched from normal to decaffe, ever since I found out I am pregnant, I cant imagine living without my coffee

 

[sethsmummy]

well im kind of hoping he stays put and also that he comes haha cant win. If it happens on saturday or something then its not so bad as either my mum or dad will be off work so they could watch him. So i just have to get through the next 4 days without going into labor lol xx

 

[CottlestonPie]

Seths how did you do d out it was strep b? I don't think they routinely test for it do they?

And omg I can't believe you're so close! Eeek! I hope you can find someone to watch Seth if it does happen on its own. Will you still get a section if he's early?

Thanks for the update on miwi hun

It's all so exciting... Could have 2 babies arriving in this thread this week

Afm: I had a different consultant HOORAY! And a midwife sat in too so I got to ask questions about breech twinnies and c sections and epidurals and things. Babies sounded fine on their heart rate monitor thing and now my belly is lopsided because Ernie has decided to do somersault and is now squashing Bert so my right hand side is bulging with babies. Not the most comfortable thing in the world but kinda cool lol

 

[sethsmummy]

Thanks Jenny

Yup i have heard that before Jenny - there is lots of stuff that effects your breast milk.. i think thats another reason i dont want to do it long term.. your restricted so much in your own diet incase it taints your breast milk xxx

 

[sethsmummy]

do you remember i said about MW taking a swab last week due to my smelly icky discharge?? Thats what its come back on.. so if you wanna be tested for it just say you have icky green discharge lol.

I know!! 2 babies.. eek.. haha miwi and I think our babies just wanna be born close together. Yeah if i get to the hospital in time i will still get my section.. it just depends on when the last time i ate was.. and how far progressed i am.. If iv not long eaten.. or im too far gone then i will have to go natural.

Welcome.. i will try keep everyone updated on Miwi's progress.

Ooooo I'm glad you got someone different today hun hahaha that made me giggle Ernie making you lopsided That must look so damn funny

xxxxxx

OMG Seth!!!!!!! how exciting!!!!
we could have to new babies on here soon

 

[sethsmummy]

hey familygirl I started with a BMI of 44 weighing 18 stone 7lb. Last time i checked my weight at 36 weeks I was 20 stone 1 lb so a gain of 1 stone 8lb i think. Not stepped on the scales since.. lol once i got over the 20 stone mark i just didnt want to know anymore. Thats the point i really didnt want to hit


Getting some periody cramp my pants are drying which is the last item of clothing that needs to go in my bag. Just going to take the rubbish out and take seth over to the park for a little while so he can run off some steam.

xx

 

[USAF_WIFE]

I am nervous to see what I have gained tomorrow is my next OB >.<

Seths and miwi- I am so jealous you both will have babies shortly! AHH!

 

[Cherrybump]
