I took raspberry leaf tea from 36 weeks with Connie and still had 43 hour labour lol they didnt work for me. I will still probably take them this time though 2nd time lucky!

 

[molly85]

My MW insisted the capsules were better but you end up on 6 a day I also take thyroxine and I was taking a multi vit and calcium pills! with pain killers I was like a waddling maraca! I'm rubbish at all the pill taking as I can't have multi vits with my thyroxine so did the FA for 12 weeks + then semi gave up and will start calcium soon as I can take that at the same time. No idea if RLT worked once they popped my waters abby was out in 5 hours they timed delivery from putting the syntocin up.

 

[misse04]

Yeah I only had capsules.. they repeat on you too erggg! I plan on winning the health lottery yesterday..Also Ive got a football bet on for £296 so if all goes to plan i'll be £100296.00 richer by 10 oclock tonight HA!

 

[molly85]

[misse04]

Is anyone else getting bad Braxton hicks? Theyre killing!x

 

[molly85]

i have them if i try and walk like a normal person or do anything

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Yeah i've been getting really bad baton they've been so painful at times I've even considered calling the hospital but then of course they stop lol. She gave me a bit of a scare yesterday as she wasn't really moving and when she was it wasn't nearly as strong as usual. Finally after some prodding she started to wriggle a bit more so i went to sleep and decided if it happened today i'd go get checked out but i woke up this morning and so far she's been her usual wriggly self.

 

[misse04]

Ahh good. Well I didnt win any of the £100296 I planned on winning!

I have a lazy baby. I remember my LO never stopped moving!! This one is much quieter throughout the day with maybe 3 active periods of half an hour or so! And just the odd movements in between.

I have had enough of pregnancy this time! I feel like my body is really being pushed to it's limit I'm big, tired, sore, uncomfortable. I have zero energy - in my bed at 7pm some nights And napping during the day! And my pelvis is killing me. Plus now I have a stupid infection in my chest, throat and ears. I don't want to rush baby but I'm so tired and just fed up. I hope it passes quickly.

How is everyone coming along with the baby preparations?

I've been making myself a little "To Do" list for when I finish work.

Rest of stuff to buy - cot, carseat, new changing bag, breastfeeding sling, breastpump, 0-3 vests, 0-3 sleepsuits, 0-3 outfits, socks, mits, bibs, dummies

Plus I have my hallway to finish and might do the skirting boards in the kitchen and living room before baby gets here just to freshen all up again. My spring cleaning and decluttering is done at least It's so hard to get anything done cos once my toddler is in bed I manage a bit of housework and getting things ready for the next day but then I'm so exhausted I end up in bed or vegging on the sofa all night! And she has a good nap of 2hours a day when I could get stuff done but I'm so tired I fall asleep as soon as she does! I wasn't this tired last time :-S

 

[kmbabycrazy]

well stardust we still have to find a house so our baby to do list is quite substantial lol. To be honest we actually don't have that much left to get for baby. Bedding and changing mat, changing bag and all the little stuff like nappies toiletries etc but apart from that we're pretty much sorted x

 

[molly85]

Oh god we're approaching the shove a packet of nappies in the weekly shop stage aren't we! How did that happen already. Badger needs some bedding to and I'm sure many other things.

 

[misse04]

Weve still got quite a bit to get but at the moment I'm focused on getting a different car and sorting house out and getting organised. Once I hit 30 weeks I'll start to make sure I'm getting finished. I still need to send the lettering back we had for his room but just dont seem to get round to anything... actually note to self will do tomorrow!

Connie has her first tooth today! So excited! x

 

[stardust599]

Aww how cute. My LO has 14 teeth now. Just 2 top canines and the molars to come in!

Damn nappies Bloody expensive things. I normally buy toddler milk 1 week and then nappies the next week. Now I'm also going to have to add formula milk (if I use it) and newborn nappies!

I meant to say I got my OBaby Xi, I love it!!! Big bit and cumbersome for me but it'll do the job for walking the dogs etc.

I'm making Sunday Roast, I should be washing up the dishes etc. just now but I just can't be bothered. OH has taken LO to the shop so I'm just having a wee rest!

 

[Mosnippy]

Hey ladies

I am happy to say we have all the big stuff, my friends giving me loads of her baby's clothes, just nappies an all those things , creams etc but otherwise I think we sorted... Shockingly . Other then some extra sheets etc for Moses basket an cot

I mad chicken roast for lunch luckily oh washes up... Lol

Feeling very achey bumps just full of aches an cramps

 

[misse04]

Ohh I'm dying for a roast Thinking we might have 4D bonding scan in the next few weeks. I'm putting Connie onto cows milk as soon as she turns one otherwise our weekly shop would be very expensive! x

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I know how you feel constantly feeling crappy and ache and have an ache back and pelvis. My mum was nice enough to point out i still have another 3 months left like i wasn't already painfully aware lol. Ahh well only 5 weeks left until maternity leave! Happy days. Then i'll have to do the nursery and sort the house. Hopefully we should hear from the estate agent tomorrow so keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[molly85]

*snigger to ones self* Abby tried to wean her self from about 6 months she's been bottle and formula free for months. I know most people question this but Paed was really happy for her to do it. we have sussed out she has reflux and an intolerance to dairy so can't have more than about half a pint a day this includes formula so why bother when she hates it and eats like a toddler (which she nearly is). The hand holding is killing my back ouchy, looking forward to cracking out the reigns. I picked up one of those reclining high chairs today for badger If he's as good at sitting as his sister he'll be in it from about a month so can watch the world go by.
