Summer Peaches... going to be ripe in late July/early August!!

Really? Am I allowed to stop sterilising? lol

 

[molly85]

lol your her mother you decide. If it's cleaned and rinsed I'm fine with it I don't change her bib every 2 hours and they have milk vomit beutifully colonising on them yuck so after the shoe eatting that was it lol

 

[misse04]

When we go to baby group connie puts all the other babies feet in her mouth she's so weird and i was thinking the other day that I wash her bottles in really hot water anyway and she has more food than mik now and none of that is sterlised I'll carry on til shes 6 months though, OH just said he heard a thing on the radio earlier saying about babies stuff being over sterilised is why they get so many illnesses and allergies etc

 

[molly85]

He's been listening to Absolute. We do over clean a sterilise stuff I'm from a very much dirt is good back ground lol no tummy bugs here

 

[misse04]

I've been doing some research and most things say 6 months. One dr said theres no need to sterilise at all as it was bought in when we had bacteria in our water etc so now its so monitored so it's ok now. Not long left, i think the same, children need some germs to get their immune systems up

 

[molly85]

I actually cheated i only sterilised teh teats 5-6 months then that was it we were using teh sippy cup and she eats everything

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I stopped steralising at 6 months. I too believe that bacteria is good. My LO is 4 and had 1 sickness bug ever!

Also i pood in labour but it was cleaned away really quick. Both my mum and OH at the time were there and didn't even notice. In fact when people asked him if i did he asked me because he didn't know. Of course i told him i didn't lol. Definitely gonna try and have a pood before i go to the hospital this time lol. Especially because it will just be me and OH and he's likely to be a lot morrow helpful than toby's dad who just sat there all the way through saying nothing. Thank god i had my mum eh

Molly~ I had a really nice birth pains started at 10:30 pm on my due date just as we got in bed. I told my Dh that i was going in to labour he said can i just get some sleep 1st so i went down for a few hrs and came on here went to the hospital at 2:30am after my DH saying i guess your waking me to go to hospital lol. Ten every thing went really well had G&A until pushing then didn't want it had him at 9:30 am no cut or any thing. My 1st was 9lbs3 and 2nd 8lbs3

Misse~ That is a big cute bump you can really tell it was a girl bump.

Newlywed~ It is common to poo when in labour but you will not know any thing about it. Before you go in to labour your body normal empties your bowls so that it dosn't happen but some times it dose but i wouldn't worry about it. But saying that i didn't want to push with my LO incass it happen DH would never let me live it down lol.

Stardust~ You really was tiny but very cute. I would love a small baby. I tried with my 1st but her wouldn't latched so i gave up. Then with my 2nd tried again and he would latch so i pumped for about 6 weeks then got bad PND so gave up and i was so much happier for it . I am not going to this time as i will have 3 kids and it will be easer on me. I always think baby's should fit in to the family not the family around the baby.

I stopped sterilising at 6 months as soon as they are going around the floor putting there hands in there mouth what is the point in making sure every thing else is sterilised it is good for babies to get some bacteria.

I sterilized until a few weeks okay but only cos OH made me And actually because we "forgot" to do the dishes for a few days in a row quite often and the milk goes all mouldy and curdled so they really need to be sterilized before I poison LO

I am relaxed with the other guidelines though - my LO slept on her side from a few days old as she just didn't settle on her back (reflux). Even on her side she didn't sleep great except when I put her on her tummy but I was so paranoid I watched her constantly! This time I am putting baby to sleep on tummy if it works better and will buy myself an Angelcare monitor for reassurance!

I'm giving breastfeeding another shot but not too stressed about it. If it doesn't work out again I'll do what I did with LO and express for a little while.

tmr1234 - thanks! it was a cute bump you don't want a small baby though! she had a teeny tummy and needed fed every 45mins-2hours for months. i'm aiming for a little fat chunky monkey this time and gna have him sleeping through the night by 2 weeks at least, that's what i'm telling myself!! Eeek why did I say "him" :-S

So is anyone having a home birth???? Meeeeeee maybe :-D

 

[stardust599]

Oh, I nearly forgot!

I had a scan today!

Saw a little worm with a heartbeat

Was a bit peed off at the scan, firstly before the scan she tried to convince me it was too early to scan as I'd probably only be about 5weeks (I haven't had a period since mirena and have no idea when I ovulated) but I insisted it was impossible as I've known for 3 weeks so I'd be "2 weeks" pregnant (so before my AF would even be due) and getting BFPs. And then she tries to tell me that I couldn't have been getting positive tests as you can't tell until 4 weeks from ovulation not LMP Stupid. You can tell from roughly 2 weeks after ovulation which makes you 4weeks pregnant going by LMP but of course it varies depending on your cycle.

It was really rushed and the screen she used to take the measurement had a really blurry, faded pic of the LO which she measured at 6w6d which I know is wrong!! I am at LEAST 7wks3days. So now they've booked my nuchal scan for 12weeks6days (their dates) which will really be 13weeks3days so too late to do nuchal measurements

I am a bit worried about measuring behind and I also have a bleed coming from inside the uterus but outside the pregnancy sac which they said shouldn't affect the pregnancy but I will probably carry on bleeding.

The whole thing took less than 2mins and she didn't even take a picture

 

[misse04]

I want to be in hospital, and I was saying him for a few weeks but now I don't know, I dont feel pregnant anymore, really want a scan! Connie slept through from 8 weeks hoping thats the case with this one x

 

[misse04]

Stardust my friend had bleeding and she had a scan and they put her back a few weeks (which also made it impossible) then had her "12" week scan and was put forward to nearly 14 weeks. Think all babies are different at different times, don't worry about it

 

[stardust599]

Thank u Ur baba is fine, symptoms don't mean a thing hun!

I wish I hadn't had the scan TBH, it's just made me more worried!! I guess the positive thing is there was a beanie and heartbeat so that's all I should concentrate on

I am off anyway, got to get LOs bag packed for tomorrow and my work clothes ready as we are out the door by 7am for my work Neeed some Zzzzzzzs

 

[Mosnippy]

aww stardust that sounds like a great experiance! Not!!!! and silly woman 4 weeks from conception??? really? then you could only test 2 weeks after you late..that is just silly lol

i been feeling really low and well crap! not sure if its the flu vaccine i had yesterday...but just couldnt get out of bed and iffy tummy with diarrhea sorry tmi!

i have my xmas do tommorrow and its black tie, so now i am dreading it as i am gonna feel crap! but cant not go as OH bought a tux and he looks so smashing! so will see how i feel

 

[molly85]

Eugh rubbish appointment.

Slap on the war paint have 1 redwine and enjoy

 

[kittylady]

Morning ladies,

Spoke to the midwife yesterday and I have an appointment for next Wednesday morning, she says she'll turn up between 9:30 and 10:30 so now I have the compulsion to clean my house as we've always been a bit untidy and are worried what she'll say I just have too much in my house that needs to be put away or got rid of

 

[misse04]

Mines at doctors surgery, would much rather she came here! I'm struggling to keep up with housework just feel rubbish!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Don't get to see my midwife for another 2 weeks. On the other hand my sister is coming home from uni on Saturday and I finally get to tell all my family. Plus I haven't thrown up this morning so far. I felt really sick about half an hour after waking up but after a close call and almost being sick (but wasn't) I feel better. I have gotten through the morning by nibbling on a tuc cracker every 20-30 minutes. I don't feel sick at all now.

I'm going to be brave and try drink a cup of tea. It might be the first morning cup of tea in two weeks that doesn't make me throw up. Fingers Crossed.

 

[Koolmami]

Well, straight after my last post, I went to the loo & I was bleeding! This time a bit heavier than when I was 5 weeks.

I saw the MW yesterday who sent me straight to hospital where I had an early scan. It was all very scary and I was praying for good results. Luckily it's all okay. I saw the little blueberry and the heartbeat! I'm much happier now.

Apparently I was 7 weeks exactly yesterday which sounds about right (not sure when conception was). As I haven't had my proper MW appointment yet, I'm seeing her next Wednesday again.

Hope everyone else are okay. You girls are already planning breastfeeding, labour, etc? I can't even think about it yet although now it all seems more real. x

Almost crashed my car this morning

Was driving to work, came round a bend and the whole road was flooded with a car randomly stopped in the middle in road. I managed to skid/aquaplane and ended up bumper to bumper with the car and 2 cars behind me swerved into oncoming traffic and ended up facing the wrong way. Scariest moment of my life.

Got sent home from work at lunch time as we have severe wind and rain here, I'm hoping all the stress and panic doesn't affect baby!

Koolmami they put my dates back a few days too but I think it's cos it's so early on, I reckon they'll get moved forward again. Did they give you a reason for the bleeding? Apparently I have a subchronic haemotoma or something!
