Y'all are making me hungry..... I want a margarita and a medium rare steak soooooo bad. Already told DH that is the first meal I want once we leave the hospital.
 
Mmm, the forbidden fruit menu. I used to love oysters when I lived in the North East, but thankfully they are just not as good down here. And not as safe.

I've given up on red meat. I don't like steak well-done, and red meat has been giving me heartburn. I would eat the occasional hamburger, but with gluten issues it's not always easy to find gluten free buns. Gosh, I sound like a baby, not someone about to have a baby...

Xan just remove the buns they give you and eat it without! If you take it to go you can put your own bun or even butter lettuce!

Or take your own bun with you and swap it.
 
Being in the UK my midwife said if you eat at sushi places and never got sick then it's fine to continue. They tend to be a bit ott with the don't eat stuff. You're not supposed to eat runny eggs bit I only like my yolks soft and runny and I haven't stopped eating them same as mcflurry and milkshakes from McDonald's I continued with my first and will with this one but I could happily scoff some pate on toast right now mmmm
 
Mumma- Your pregnancy is flying by mama! I'm not even viable yet!! :D
 
Wow our First Ladies into third tri, we will have baby announcements before we know it!!!
Hope everyone is well.

Wow third tri! That's crazy!! Congratulations!

Yep, it's just stupid hot out here and then everywhere you go is freezing with AC! So hard to dress appropriately. Am not so good with farenheit but we have about 45 degrees celsius at the moment but still climbing. It will start to cool down end of sept and be gorgeous by beginning of November.
I strongly believe in eating things in moderation even when pregnant, as Ginge said unless you normally go somewhere really dodgy for sushi you might as well go for it! I eat all cheeses (the laws and restrictions on unpasteurised cheese are so tight it's actually really hard to find in supermarkets and restaurants!) I also eat ham, scoffed lemon meringue pie this weekend and let myself have the odd glass of wine when I really feel like it. Oh wow...i'm the bad influence hahaha!
 
Aw, we're kind of cheating though, I shouldn't be here really but was September 1st going by LMP. It's the scans saying otherwise. Still reckon I won't be the first to pop!

Campn, you're SO close to viable. And your bump is saying "hell yeah!"
 
Mumma- These babies are so unpredictable I've learned that! With my son someone who was due three weeks after me had her baby before me! I was like no no not fair!! I made it to 40+1. I'm hoping to go earlier this time but doubt that will happen!
 
That happened with me campn! With my last circle of forum friends I was the first to get pregnant, the next lady was due two weeks later and then someone else a week after her - the last one expecting to pop, popped first! And Sophie didn't arrive till 40+13! I just can't imagine this one being early or on time at all. We know that every pregnancy/birth is different, but when you've only experienced one, it's hard to imagine it going any other way! And if it is different, this is the root of my main concern - I was in hospital being induced so i was, there for all of it - how am I going to handle it if it happens on its own!?
 
Am I hearing "third trimester" ? Congratulations Mumma. Babies, sure are unpredictable mine came 15days earlier last time(when first time moms are suppose to be late) and it's going to be same this time because of repeat c-section.

How is everyone doing? I am mia for few days but, occasionally pop in here to check. I tried getting gender scan but, there were few drawbacks so, gave it up and decided to wait till 13th june. But, on happy note I am just one week away from my viable week.
 
Apologies for my prolonged absense. Life gets in the way sometimes. Sending love to you all from bump and I x
 
mummamoo and campn, I never go into labour on my own. I went overdue with my first by 8days. Most of my friends all went into labour between 37-39weeks. I am always induced. I am really hoping this time I go on my own and not overdue!! My OB said he is going to do membrane sweeps on me starting after 37 weeks. I am not sure if they will help much.
 
Mari- Big hug!! Membrane sweep worked for me! I lost my mucus plug the next day, then went into labor that night.

Did you try all those labor inducing tricks? Walking, bouncing on birthing ball (my fave!) spicy food, pineapple, black licorice, red raspberry leaf tea, primrose oil, sex, nipple stimulation (helped me) and I'm sure there are more stuff.

Castor oil is one with lots of success stories, but honestly I was too chicken. If I had gone overdue I would have tried it though.
 
campn - that"s good to know you had success with a membrane sweep. I've done the bouncing ball, lots of walking, raspberry leaf tea and spicy food. This time i'll try nipple stimulation, primrose oil and sex(if I can! LOL). I am too chicken to try castor oil as well. My OB says he will let me go to 41 weeks, but don't want too! lol
 
I never tried the castor oil, I heard too many "it's dangerous" horror stories so kept well away from that one. Don't think I'd have the stomach for it anyway!
I tried lots of pineapple, hot HOT curries (apparently according to MrMoo the smell oozed from every pore for days afterwards), sex (started to lose my plug after that one, lucky we even managed it after me eating the curries, MrMoo hates that kind of food/smell). Bounced on a ball, walked every day... none of it worked.
