Ginge - that is amazing you've got your bag packed. Even more amazing that someone else packed it for you! I've always been terrible at getting my back backed on time. I'm such a procrastinator!

Xan - great bump pic! I really need to start swimming too.

Sweety - I second the cabbage for the breast pain. It helped me in my second pregnancy. As for the supply issues, i think there are even herbs you can take while pregnant to help your supply for after birth. My cousins wife had supply issues with both her girls. Now pregnant with their 3rd, she already seen a lactation consultant. I will ask her what she is doing now.

Mummamoo - I am ok, thanks for asking:) I can finally relax a bit after a crazy week! As for feeding, it was so different with each of my children. My DD was a struggle to nurse in the beginning. She had latching issues and I needed to see a lactation consultant. It was a tough start and she had to have formula in the beginning as well. it took 6 weeks to really get the hang of breastfeeding. She was never exclusively breastfeed. I was able to nurse her for 10months. With DS1, it was not good. Latch was fine but every time I tried to feed him he was fussy. It would get crazy gas/tummy issues. He was also quite colic for the first 4 months. I tried so hard but in the end he was mostly formula fed. I couldn't nurse pat 3 months with him. And he even had to go on a special colic formula which made a world of difference! With DS2 nursing came easy and I did it for 8 months. I didn't need to use much formula as well. It is funny how each baby is so different! I plan to nurse this baby as well, but i won't stress myself out if I have problems again.

Uni - sorry to hear you had a bleed that was scary. But I am so glad all is ok:)
 
Mari- so sorry to hear about your grandma, but I'm glad you have support now. I hope things turn around for her. I hope you feel better soon too- getting sick just as warm weather arrives is the worst! You want to be out enjoying the nice weather, but then as soon as you get there you want to be back inside under blankets.
 
mari - we are due date buddies now! :] Sorry to hear about your grandma...glad your mom is able to help out now so you can get rest and recuperate! Hope you feel better soon!
 
It made my life way easier as all the basics are in the bag she does different ranges too :)
 
Ladies I really need some advice. My skin on my face is so red and dry and not to mention soooo itchy!! I'm using e45 cream but i think it might be making it worse than better. So throw some cream brands my way to try please.

I use this every day and I really like it: https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Moisturizer-SPF15-Protecting-Light/dp/B009RNUH7M
 
Ciz- I have really dry skin, and the new Neutrogena gel moisturizer for extra dry skin works pretty well. I also like L'Occitane Creme Divine, but extraordinarily expensive. I buy some of their other products and when my skin is really dry I use the free samples.

I like to use coconut oil on my face. It goes on so light and is very good for the skin.
 
Mari, thank you for your opinion. I really pray I don't have to go through supply issues. Touchwood last time was blessed to have enough to feed my bubba.
I am sorry about your grandma but, glad you got the much needed sleep and rest.

Ciz, I have dry skin allover my face. I am using lush's aroma water and skin drink which is kinda helpful for me. But, since it's getting hotter I would advice to use it in night only. Or else skin will be all oily.
 
Thankyou everyone for all the kind words:)

I didn't sleep so great last night. My sciatic pain was acting up again. At first it was only on my left side, now the pain is happening on my right side as well.

sweety - I hope you don't have supple issues either. If you didn't have that problem with your first, I would think that is a good sign:) My breasts have been extremely sensitive this whole pregnancy.

aman - yay for due date buddies!!

xan - I haven't been sick since Christmas time. So not happy about it! lol All my kids were sick last week so I'm not surprised.

ciz - I second the coconut oil. It worked wonders for my dry skin.
 
Hopie- I hope that everything went well at your ultrasound on Thursday, and that you enjoyed a relaxing weekend taking in the spring weather.
 
Ladies, have you felt hiccups yet!?? I've been feeling them and at first I was like hmm what is that? I don't seem too shocked though cause my subconscious probably thought oh those are normal we felt them with DS!! Then it hit me like oh yeah! Hiccups!!
 
What do hiccups feel like? I've had these weird sensations, assumed they were somersaults, but who knows. It's like a rolling feeling, more than just the usual jabs and kicks.

It feels like a little twitch like you get in your eyes, but in your uterus, and it has a rhythm to it too so you don't just get one, which is good cause you'll get to notice them after a while! I remember going into labor with DS and at the hospital they hooked me up and I heard this tick tick noise I was like oh his heartbeat sounds weird!? Then I was like no those are hiccups once I felt them in my uterus.
 
19w! I have my big scan Wednesday.

I plan to bf. I did for at least a year with all of my children, with the exception of the youngest. I bf for 7 months and finally had to stop due to his allergies. I was dairy, egg, nut & soy free for almost 2 months for him. It was brutal. It also did not clear up his issues, severe vomiting & skin rashes that turned into staph infection. Plus I had unexpectedly become pregnant again and was so sick. It was sort of traumatizing to me actually, but he is doing much better on soy formula.
 
Hi ladies- anyone not waking up to pee any more? For the past 2-3 weeks I have been sleeping until 5 or 6 (I go to bed around 9-10). I do toss and turn during the night and feel like I could get up and pee, but I usually just fall asleep again. Is it because the pregnancy moves up higher and away from the bladder. I know I should probably just relax and enjoy sleeping while I can.
