Kix - don't feel silly, I went in to be monitored two days before I had him and everything was fine! It is worth it to be safe! I had really watery discharge too that I thought was my waters and got the mw to check it! It started a few weeks before my labour so could be another good sign for you!

Hay - get walking and bouncing, you might be able to get him lower! I don't know how well it worked for me but the day before I had some strong braxton hicks so spent the morning pacing up and down my garden! Haha! Might be worth a try!

Little man was weighed again yesterday and he is now 7lbs 6oz - he put on 12oz in a week! So pleased as I was worried he wasn't getting enough to eat! He has some problems with his belly though - he is really gassy and has a hard time lying flat. I just spent £180 on a co-sleeper for him so that I can be closer but he is still much happier when in bed with me! Don't like to do that though because I can't use the angelcare monitor like that and I am completely paranoid about SIDS as I lost my sister to it. It's so hard! Just want him to be safe and comfortable!

What are everyone's NYE plans? I'm staying in!

[betty14]

Aww honey what a cutie! Looks like he loves it

So exciting all these babies so close!

Staying in nye here, we all gather and have party food and play singstar

Is that a dj booth honey? I want a bouncer for her and quite like the zoo jumperoo but they are expensive!

We tried everything to get Sophia to sleep away from us. So far with no success! Initially she only slept on me, she refused her Moses basket so we bought a crib which she still refuses so I've settled on her in bed next to me and I'm gonna sit up all night every night in Jan until we crack this because sids scares me so much. It must be so much worse when its effected you personally!

We have some family round tomorrow and have some food n fireworks then its back to reality and home to Norfolk!

 

[Abbi808]

Aw Samie - it's nice to know I am not the only one!! He falls asleep so easily on me but the second I move him he wakes up! I am so so tired! He is currently fast asleep on my shoulder - it is so sweet but not a position I can sleep in! I am going to persevere with the co-sleeper and hope he gets used to it but I don't see it happening....I need help!

Betty - that sounds like a great night! Hope you have a good one!

[Honeybear1976]

Hey girls,
Glad you're all well
Ollie is teething so has times where he is clearly in pain, don't like it He'll soon be biting me
NYE- We always stay in with the kids, Col is working so won't be in till 10.30pm
Abbi-I can't remember what your little man's birthweight was? Are you bf?
Samie- It's a Leap Frog Learn & Groove Activity Station.
Kix- Always better to be safe than sorry and always trust your instincts

Isn't it funny how u think u stop worrying when...then something else takes over like now the babies r here it's the worry of SIDS fingers crossed for all the babies. Ollie has set the benchmark for tough cookie babies!

I've been to epau again today. Woke up 'wet' feeling at 6-gone to loo and bleeding heavy-sorry tmi but literally pouring.

Had another scan little bean was waving to us!! They can't see an obvious cause ATM just keep an eye. Still got a light/ medium flow but no clots or major pain which she said is encouraging

Just got to wait now- really don't kno what to think! x

 

[Honeybear1976]

Ab- we posted at the same time
Forgot to write about co sleeping, all ours slept in with us, Brandon was still in with us (aged 2) when Sofia was born!!! They are much more content to be with you. I understand your fear about sids but as long as you follow all the guidelines (ie no drink(being drunk-not 1 glass of wine!), drugs, smoking) then it really isn't any more of a risk than them being in a cot on their own or indeed a room of their own. Put a soft blanket on top of the sheet in the co sleeper Abbi, they wake when they go from your warm body to a cold sheet.

[Honeybear1976]

Hey Anna, Thanks Ollie has certainly set a standard in the cookie stakes
Sorry to hear you are having probs again, so glad the scan showed no concern and hope the bleeding stops asap never to return until you are full term and delivered
xx

 

[Abbi808]

Honey - thanks for the tip about the bedding, I will give that a try! I love having him with me, it's just that having him in the co-sleeper means I can use the monitor which gives me extra peace of mind. I will try and be a bit more relaxed with it, I did let him sleep with me for an hour this morning but I would have passed out if I hadn't! Luckily neither of us smoke and we aren't drinking at all for a while so it is safe enough! We do have a memory foam mattress though which isn't the firmest and I read that the mattress should be firm! He was 6lbs 14oz at birth and went down to 6lbs 8oz, he is now 7lbs 6 which the midwife says is great - I am bf'ing so it's a weight off my mind that it is going well(ish)

Anna - sorry that you are still having problems, some women do suffer from unexplained bleeding during pregnancy so try not to worry! Just get checked out whenever you feel concerned, that is what they are there for!!

xx

 

[Honeybear1976]

Abbi, that weight gain is fabulous, more so for a bf baby cos everyone gets so paranoid about not being able to see exactly how much they are getting. Ollie puts on between 8oz and a pound per week now. You're doing a great job, well done xx

 

[Samie18]

Definitely persevere because I spent most nights sat up to sleep for 5 weeks, she started to go to sleep next to me until she got this cold, now if we put her down she coughs and chokes so I won't leave her there, so we're back at square 1. She also struggles to go down in the day, we were cracking it until we came to my parents and now she wants holding again!!! The baby bjorn has been a life saver otherwise I'd get nothing done.

Can't believe your bleeding again Anna =o( I've got everything crossed for a sticky baby xx
The worrying never ends the pregnancy is just the start xx

 

[annanouska]

i have learnt to ignore the spotting now but this was horrific im just taking it easy and waiting it out. it is easing a bit so im taking that as a good sign. only another 6 months ish to go lol!!!

Ive got to know a lady who lost her little girl at 18 weeks due to pprom and seeing how others cope has given me the strength to know i will cope if the worst happens. think the hardest thing is the guilt you have for feeling like you have let others down even though i know i cant do anything.

DH has made me stay in while he does the groceries feel like a naughty child! atleast hes agreed i can sit downstairs now rather than laying in bed, very boring when you dont 'feel' ill! thankfully i have the feline midwife party escorting me everywhere!!! got a bit teary a few moments ago and riddick (camp as christmas that boy) came licking my tears away- bit odd but very cute!

hope everyone is doing well- so exciting that there are babies almost here

if i do go a little quiet for a bit i will check up on posts but i dont want to burden this thread with woe and missery soif im having a bad time il keep a little quiet xxx

oh btw-if bean arrives safe and sound it wont be camera shy- had the consultant yday and due to my 'profound obesity' i need growth scans at 28, 32 and 36 weeks?! seems ott to be to be honest esp as i had to book them all in yday

they think im at risk of either a big or small baby due to obesity- i did point out i was just over 6 lb and DH was over 13 lb so may be weird anyway! Needless to say- they werent interested!

Wish i could stay at the epau the whole 40 weeks- ive been that much they are nice to me now!!!!

 

[Samie18]

Ahh Anna you don't have to disappear if things are bad!
The extra scans are pretty routine. Due to obesity your at risk of diabetes which if not picked up and controlled result in larger babies....but they will check for that. And per eclampsia which can result in small babies but your bp is checked regularly so don't worry about your size just keep healthy.

The docs do annoy me how much they make larger women feel bad, to hear how they go on obese women can't get pregnant anyway....which is proved wrong daily. Don't get me wrong there are increased risk but that doesn't mean everything won't end up normal.

Rant over =o)

 

[betty14]

Aww Anna I second what samie said you don't have to go

As for the obesity thing, it has irked ms because my booking bmi is 30 I have been sent a letter to a meeting to discuss healthy eating.... Er hello i have lost just over 3 stone I think I know how to keep healthy! And at 15 weeks of I have only Gained a pound!!!!!!

My midwife requested a consultant app to discuss my risk of gestational diabetes a because of pcos and b as both my parents have type 2..... Not because of my bmi!

I will be having words on tues

Ok rant over lol!

[AmeliaLily]

Glad you're ok Anna!!

I'm pleased things have settled down for you Sinn too. I think I'm reading this forum too much cos last night I had a dream where there was a boy called Ollie and I thought that's honeybears baby but this boy was about 4 telling me he was called Ollie and I was thinking but Ollie's a baby! Dreams eh lol

I'm on cd15 and still neg opk. What days did everyone else get a pos?

 

[betty14]

Amelia I got pos opk on cd 20 the cycle we conceived..... So you are still well in

X x x

 

[Sinn]

Fingers crossed Amelia!

I'm not sure where I am in my cycle since the bleeding-should I count it as a period or not? I should be due a visit from AF this weekend if it was mid cycle...guess I'll see what happens. DH and I had got our hopes up despite the bleeding and were disappointed with a BFN this morning. We thought we'd caught it this month before the bleeding started

Sinn x

 

[Samie18]

I got a pos on day 16 and the one cycle I had was 32 days so right in half but they vary so much!

It's difficult to say sinn if the bleeding was a period or not as it was mid cycle I'd just wait and see if AF comes. If its only due this weekend then you might not get a bfp yet.
