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

[Koolmami]

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!

Sorry to hear about your accident. I am glad you and baby are okay though.

Regarding my bleeding, they just said that sometimes that happens for no reason. They couldn't justify it, they just said is the body getting used to it. Bleeding stopped today so it all sounds good. It was amazing seeing the baby and little heartbeat was so cute! I felt like he was waving saying hi, mummy!

Glad your ok stardust!

Still not been sick today SO HAPPY.

Stardust- so sorry to hear about your accident but at least you get the rest of the day at home relaxing after that. Must have been so scary.

Koolmami- It's easy when you've been through it before to say what you'd like to do different this time. I didn't give labour a second thought with my first one until MW said it was time for a birth plan. And breastfeeding is the same.

We had our names already picked out. We have two girls names we really like. We were going to call the first girl and Anya and if we had another call it Lily. Now the more I feel convinced it's a girl, the more I feel like it's Lily not Anya lol. But OH said he is fine with calling it Lily if it's a girl and we'll save Anya for if we have another girl.

 

[Koolmami]

That's true, kmbabycrazy. I suppose ignorance is good for first time mums as we haven't got a clue! Less to think and worry about I guess...lol

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Yep with first one I was just like yay pregnant lol. This time i'm constantly worrying. I don't know why. I'm just so paranoid that every niggle in my tummy I think "Oh my God what's that? Is something wrong" because I don't remember feeling that last time but every pregnancy is different and I probably get these niggles because I've been through it before.

I don't know, it's definitely easier the first time round. Ignorance is definitely bliss lol

 

[molly85]

Lol I feel less worried this time my biggest worry is early labour but saves on worrying about going overdue lol

Ouch on the accident this weather is bad.

Aww lily my friends jst called one of twins that and it could be one of our middle names this baby is my turn to name

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Lily-Mae is what we'll name it if it's a girl and Connor-James Christopher if it's a boy.

 

[stardust599]

I like Riley for a boy and Charlotte for a girl xxx

 

[misse04]

Like all you names! well apparently news travels fast. Have told a select few people and still its gets around, why can't people keep their big mouths shut! My nans friend has just rang her saying 'Have you got something to tell us'...Now Nans friends daughter is with someone that OH knows but hasn't told, yet someone has told him? I suppose thats what I get for telling people but still you would think there were people you could trust! Why people feel the need to pass on pregnancy information that isn't their own when they've been asked not to is beyond me! Oh well doesn't matter now just having a bad day!

 

[kittylady]

Hey

Hope your ok stardust

I am a bit OCD so I have already thought about a birth plan and breastfeeding, I have already typed the letter for my boss to do with maternity and have
pretty much found everything I want for new baby (just not bought it yet)

I like isabelle for a girl and we have edward, william, thomas, or timothy for a boy, no doubt we'll toy with names for a while, but we aren't finding out until the birth so we will probably debate it when s/he is born.

I'm finding out beforehand so I can be super prepared!

I'm also having a home birth. OH is not happy a single bit but my birth was so out of control last time and I had every intervention so this time it's on MY terms only!! Giving breastfeeding a shot again too.

Isabelle is beautiful, my OH won't let me cos I'm obsessed with Twilight!

What's in your birth plan and what stuff are you buying for new baby? I'm as OCD as you - I have spreadsheets about the stuff I'll buy, the babies sleep, my birth etc. haha! xx

 

[kittylady]

I haven't read twilight - a sin I know, I just couldn't get into it so I didn't notice the reference lol

I have a list at the moment of the pushchair (I want a silver cross surf but OH doesn't like the price, I'm hoping theres a sale somewhere before bubba is born lol)

I'm debating whether to get a medela, tommie tippie or advent breast pump as I want to breastfeed but I want hubby to have a go too. I want a britax cowmooflage car seat

I would keep going forever lol I think I'm driving OH mad

As for the birth I want water - as in a water birth and minimal pain control, I do have quite a high pain threshold and I think I'd get worse worrying they were administering the correct amount or doing it right, I prefer to deal with pain myself. I know this might change on the day

 

[molly85]

leave the pump til after just put the cash aside hand expressing is far better once you get the technique right. Expressing straight off reduces the amount you produce theres plenty else for OH to do lol like feed and water you. I got a pump and barely used it whe we were trying to express you spend all day cleaning them grrrr. lol.

Stardust~ My 2 where big baby's well LO was big in size but was in weight but grow out of cloths really fast and still are my 7 yr old is in 10yr old cloths and my 2 yr old is in 3-4 yrs Rueben my ES slept through from 4 weeks for 6-6 and Lucas slept through from 8 weeks 6-6 but now it has gone 6-5 es still sleeps 7-6. I would love a home birth but DH said NO he worries to much for it to be a happy thing. I would complain about your scan and get them to do it again she really did not know what she was on about so go to the head and demand for them to redo it.

Mosnippy~ Hope you are feeling better.

Kittylady~ We need to sort this house out it is being over took by toys there is LOADS in every room as we have never got rid of any when any one comes down i have to clean all the way though i clean the house top to bottom every day and it is never untidy apart from toys bit i still have to do that little bit more when any one comes. I have to go to a kids centre its not to far away so not to bad.

Kmbabycrazy~ Yay for telling people hope it goes really well. We have already told every one that needs to know and Rueben has told his hole school lol.

Koolmami~ Congrats on the scan hope the bleeding is nothing.

My nice is called Charlotte We can not find any names we both say yes to as we sort of like odd names and as my DH is rasta he likes it with a bit of a biblical meaning. It took us for ever to find a name for Lucas.
I am not doing a birth plan as i did with my 1st and it didn't go the way i wanted it to so last time i just went with what ever came and i LOVED it.

I expressed with my Lo and i was over run with milk i had to take some to the milk bank as it would of gone off. But if you are going to Brest feed don't express until you are fully going with it or you will end up with to much milk. i got a advent hand pump and it was brill you just have to do 1 boob until it stops then go to the next and then back to the 1st take a bit of times but it is fast 1s you get going.

Wow long post.

Sorry i havn't been on in a few days not been to well with m/s felt fine yesterday for about 1hr after i got up then i felt ill all day any thing i ate came back up (tmi).

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Oh ladies this is bliss. I know it may only last a few days but it's lovely...

I haven't been sick!!!
For the last 2 days I've been sick free...barely even felt queasy, just first thing in the morning. Steering clear of tea still just in case, and probably will until 2nd tri lol.

I know this might only last a few days and i'll be throwing up again next week. But it's the best I've felt since before I found out I was pregnant (nausea was one of the signs for me) so here's hoping lol. I don't know whether it's because it's stopped or i've just found a way of controlling it. But I have a terrible tickly cough and I'm quite phlegmy (gross I know) so I though I'd be more likely to throw up.

Anyway really nervous about this weekend and telling everyone. Looking like it's OH's Dad who will be told first as his Mother isn't in tomorrow. Then my family, then his Mum on Sunday.

We have to tell them this weekend because I keep nearly slipping up and saying something about me being pregnant or that is somehow related and I definitely don't want them finding out because I accidentally said something lol

 

[tmr1234]

I wish i wasnt being sick i havn't ate a mael and kept it down for days now.
