Morning ladies!!!!!!!!!!!

Mustang- Great to hear from you! sorry you had such a scare but glad all was good !!! Your baby looks I agree with steph!!!

Steph- 12.30??? OMG! I strongly advise you put your feet up frequently during these long days! You do work long hours

thank you for all the great tips ladies....I tried a cold banana milkshake last night and avoided all errant foods, NO heartburn

I have also found a medicine same as gaviscon ( we dont have the exact same brand), I just need to clear this with doc now. The chemist said it was cool, but because its not Gaviscon just want to be sure. I see my doc Saturday for some shots..Ow!!

my next target for this weekend is uploading a bump shot...hahhaa. there's something about me thats just lousy with technology

I'm a papaya Man, i feel huge!!!!!

 

[steph1505]

Happy papaya day kbkb!!! Im a peach today! Lol a papaya seems so much bigger! Yay i cant wait to see ur bump pic! I wanna see it!! A few people have commented on my 'bump' which i didnt think was noticeable!!

Oooh thats good u managed to avoid the heartburn!! And good u found a gaviscon alternative! Prepare for it to be ur best friend for the next few months! Haha! I took a bottle with me whereber i went!

Aw...wot shots r u gettin on sat?? xxxxx

 

[kbkb]

Yayyyyyy for being a peach! I am not sure what shots, the doc told me but I've totally forgotten! baby brain!

WELCOME TO 2ND TRIMESTER STEPH!

 

[smiley330]

Hey girls!

First off, has anyones BnB gone weird?? All the writing is centered and making it really difficult to read fluently!! Maybe I need a computer restart...

Mustang! nice to hear from you, great news you got a scan and all is fine though!! I'm going to guess boy (I don't know why, just mixcing up the votes!)

Certain - Ohh yes! I have been highly constipated since forever. I have no cure, but if you find one - I would love to know

Steph - Yes defo look into the Quinny's, they are so easy to work! One of my friends has a diff one though which I loved - but I can't remember what make. Need to ask her!! Wow you are working long hours, I don't know how you are doing it!!

Oooh I am a plum today!! We all move up a fruit on the same day

kbkb - Glad the heartburn eased off yesterday, hopefully that doesn't last until the end of your preg now! Oh and Booo to shots!!

I'm not sure if i'm going to get the flu jab... I keep putting off making a decision about it

x x x x x x

 

[CertainTurton]

Morning!

Mustang - was wondering how you were doing. what a scare for you but im so glad to hear all is ok and what a cute picture. Glad to hear LO was moving loads. Im afraid im rubbish with guesses but would prob say team pink. Keep rested and get rid of that UTI

kbkb- glad the banana milkshake worked, i hadnt thought of combining them...good idea FX it stays away or that you can use the gaviscon type thing. Looking forward to the bump pic!!

Im jealous of all the fruit movement, im in the middle... congrats! So I tried lemon in hot water (DH made it for me...was v.sour!!) as i had heard that might work and it seems to have helped a bit...we shall see
I also havent decided about teh flu jab but will prob go for it - ive had flu a couple of times and it is horrid!! I cant imagine having it and not being able to take sudefed etc...urgh!

Have a lovely day ladies!

 

[kbkb]

Yes, my BnB has gone all weird...all the writing is centered, its such a pain to read! i thought I was the only one! Yayy for the plum, Smiley!

The best cure for constipation is loads of fibre, increase your intake of fruits like bananas and veggies ,whole grains,try to eat something with bran, lentils...that is very good insoluble fibre.

Omg Certain- you're 2nd trimester too sorry to have missed u in the welcome! You could try a spoon of honey in the lemon water, that works for me usually

 

[smiley330]

Certain - Yes, add some honey to your lemon water - much nicer! Although I quite like lemon water when it's bitter

kbkb - are you using internet explorer? I've opened it up in Google Chrome and it's back to normal now!

All this talk of banana milkshakes is making me REALLY want one!!

x x x x

 

[kbkb]

Yes I am in explorer....Ok, let me give another my mozilla firefox a shot! Go, get a banana milkshake add some whipped cream for good measure!!!

Afternoon ladies!

How are we all today??

Steph - Have a look in Toys R Us for Quinny's, they have quite a good range there!

I met up with my friends yesterday (4 of us, who met from going to the baby groups with our babies who are all the same age) - and one of them announced she is pregnant as well - and is due like 2 days after me, how exciting!!!

I have also booked in a gender scan for 4th November!!! Eeeeekk!! Still haven't decided if we are going to tell anyone (obvsiously you girls don't count ) but I am SO looking forward to it. I can't wait to be able to buy gender specific things and be able to call him/her - him or her!

So that's my exciting news for today Hope you're all having a lovely end to the week, nearly FRIIIDAAAYY!!

x x x x x x

 

[CertainTurton]

Yey smiley, gender scan is so exciting! You will know before me...so jealous! But I am relived we are excluded from the secret...gosh that would be hard not to bully from you...

It must be lovely having a friend who is also preg, im the only one in my group, and the 1st actually (im only 25) but my cousin who im close to has a 2yr old and is TTC so FX for her soon

 

[smiley330]

Yeh none of my actual friends (that doesn's sound right, cuz they are my friends, but they my other "mummy" friends that I've only met since having DS) have any children, so i'm the only one in my group. One of them is trying though - so i'm hoping she will be preg and be able to go through it at a similar time!

Ooh I was going to say i'm 25 too, but alas - the other week I turned 26. BOOOOO!!! x

 

[steph1505]

Hey ladies!! Certain...when will u find out the sex of baby? Mine isnt til 17th of november!! 6 weeks today! Sooo glad ul tell us smiley haha! What makes u unsure about telling people? I wont be able to keep my mouth shut!!

Aw im the baby so far...im only 24!! Im the only one of my friends who has children! My SIL and I were due on the same day when I was pregnant with Brandon! There is 3 weeks between the two boys! But no1 i know is pregnant or even trying (that i know of) so looks like il be the only one!

Ive had a pretty sad day today...my absolute best friend in the world told me today that she has decided to move to Australia...next month!! I knew she was thinking about it as her mum and dad moved there last year, but i didnt think she would actually go if u kno wot i mean! Il be totally lost without her!

Anyways...hope uv all had a good day!! xxxxx

 

[kbkb]

Good morning girls!!!
OOoh, Smiley- 4th November is less than 1 month away... Yayyyy!
