September Snugglers 2016

[campn]

Just- It hasn't happened to me but I know it's more common than you think! My lactation consultant said you can hand express a bit before you Bf that way baby won't choke but you could get a better feeder this time who chugs it all like a champ!

I'm really hoping for a better nurser this time cause DS was so bad and he would cry cause he wanted a bottle (since we had to supplement for three days!) he was just lazy

Hopie - I'm so sorry about your fall and your mom. But i am glad you both are ok Icing your knees will definitely help. I used ice in the beginning as well. I am now using heat pack to help with the lower back pain. I too have a cut but it is on my elbow. We do have the same due date, appointment and we both fell. So funny(but not the falling part!!). Hope you are felling well today

Anyone bought any baby items yet? I was thinking I will slowly start to look after I find out the gender. But i'm even more hesitant to purchase anything after my fall on Sun. I know it silly to think like that but I worry too much. lol

Uk ladies ... One born every minute starts tonight on channel 4 at 9!

Not sure if any of you watch it but it's my major guilty pleasure.

Mari - we are staying team yellow so have brought a few bits here and there. I want to start getting some bigger bits to spread the cost but not sure if it's better to wait until after the 20 week scan x

 

[LoraLoo]

Ssarah thanks for the heads up!

Ive just booked a scan for 16 weeks, so we will be finding out the gender then too, though im pretty certain it's a boy x

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Mari, how scary for you -- I'm so glad the baby's okay, though it sounds like you took a real battering yourself.

Hopie, time for something to go your way!! I really hope that it's your MS easing off very soon.

Campn, I'm normally an excellent sleeper, but for the past few months I wake in the middle of the night to pee and end up staring at the ceiling for yours. It's driving me nuts!!

I haven't bought any baby things yet -- still feels too early to me for some reason. But I hit 2nd Tri tomorrow (yay!!!), so maybe soon. I need to figure out what I want to double up on and what I can make do with what I have.

Just, I have really big BBs too, and I've always had to hold them back with one hand so I don't smother the baby in flesh. Not sure how I'll work feeding two at the same time. One more thing to worry about.

Ssarah I'm watching one born right now I'm so excited, this time last year I was sad watching it just wanting it to be me and now i'm just so elated to be watching it knowing i will get my baby in September
I kinda wish i got some more symptoms, reading through this quite a few had morning sickness and i didnt get any. My only symptoms have been being tired and sore boobs. Had acne on my chest too and developed rashes which is unusual for me.
What do you guys think baby is? Boy or girl?
The first 2 weeks i was convinced girl but ever since ive been convinced boy.. any guessers?

 

[MummaMoo]

Kiki, I think girl

Hope all the fallers feel much better soon! I had a nasty fall last pregnancy at 23 weeks and had to go to hospital for an anti-d shot.
Big boobs here too, really frustrating because Es are a squeeze (ha! I'm a poet!) but Fs are too big. I need measuring properly but I invisage Sophie tearing round like a loony and opening the changing room whilst I've got my knockers out!

OBEM!! Love, love LOVE this! It's recording on the hard drive so I can enjoy it on my own, in peace!

I'm really tempted to buy some baby stuff, but trying to hold off. Don't know how long that will last!

 

[Kiki1993]

I got dragged down a whole flight of stairs just before finding out about baby (was about 6 weeks at the time) by some idiots having an argument and walked past at the wrong time!
Everything was fine, they are well protected in there, such a worry when it happens though. I'm glad everyones okay

What makes people decide is it a feeling you get looking at scan or nub/skull? I'm rubbish at guessing lol

 

[campn]

I've bought nursing tops, do these count!? It's more for me!

Kiki- It's the nub, if it's pointing upwards at 30 degree angle with the spine it's a boy, if it's pointing straight at a parallel angle with the spine it's a girl. I had to really Google it.
I think yours is a girl too


Lora- I also have a gender scan at 16 weeks!
I'm very hopeful we get to see some parts. As creepy as that sounds? Hehe

 

[LoraLoo]

Kiki I tbink girly!

Campn- when's yours? 8th of April was the earliest I could get in!

Cried at obem, I always bloody cry. Got excited watching the labours too- is that normal?! Quite enjoy my labours lol!

 

[campn]

Mine is April 6 so pretty much just like you! I booked it 10 days ago cause I thought it'd be tricky to get the day I want.

Fingers crossed our babies will be so cooperative and flaunt it!

 

[mari35racz36]

Campn - my gender scan is April 6th too!! I really hope my baby will flaunt it till too. Apparently at my scan yesterday the tech said the baby had its legs crossed. Lol

 

[xanzaba]

Kiki, I never guess, but something is saying boy to me.

 

[mari35racz36]

Kiki - I guess boy

 

[Lallie81]

I think a boy for Kiki too!

 

[Lallie81]

My next appt is April 13th so only a week behind you guys this time thank god!

 

[Sweety21]

Mine is on April 12. They basically said come after a month so, I will be going a week early.

just, I am second time mom but, first time I had some crystal kind of stuff after 20weeks or so. I think it's normal but, may be consultation with docmight help a bit.

Kiki, I am guessing a boy for you.

 

[MummaMoo]

My next scan is April 7th, when we COULD get the gender. I could still quite easily find out, it's MrMoo that's more set on leaving it a surprise.
And yes, if maternity clothes counts as baby shopping, I've bought a couple of bits. Everything I already have is not really much good as Sophie was a winter baby, so I'm going to need much more lightweight stuff the bigger I get.

So today I'm in a mood of very mixed feelings. My neighbours welcomed their daughter into the world on Saturday, as did a friend from back home with their little boy, so I'm excited and happy for them, but also today a friend from baby group is saying goodbye to her little boy, who she gave birth to a couple of weeks ago. She only had a couple of hours with him, and the thought of it all is just heartbreaking. So today is tough. I can hear baby Lily crying right now, and there are very different tears are being spilt elsewhere nearby.
I wasn't going to say anything about the friend losing her little boy, we all have so many fears already, but just trying to get it out there somewhere so I can try and keep emotions in check.

 

[xanzaba]

Oh, mummamoo. So sorry to hear about your friend.

 

[ciz]

kiki your scan looks similar to my dd - skull wise so I'm saying girly


hope you ladies who had a fall are all ok. my sense of balance was shocking before pregnant now its worse, very scary.

argh you ladies getting scans done at 16weeks is making me want to get one haha. I'm absolutely dying to find out what this one is. my morning sickness seems to died down a lot. I just have to make sure I snack through the day to keep retching at bay because of a empty stomach. weight gained a lot with this one but I'm guessing that's because I haven't been crazy sick like I was with dd so I need to keep my eye on it. in other news my dd has well and truly given us a taste of the naughty 2's. shes terrible such a little madam lol
