He sounds like a good strong boy there faythe! Well done! X

 

[moter98]

hope it clears up for you soon rooster

good here. SO hungry this week i just can't stop eating! crazy. had a scare the other night as i kept getting bh every 3-5 minutes. was gonna go to the ER, but i googled it and google said try drinking water. i did, and the bh finally went away. sure was scary.

 

[moter98]

Hey ladies!

Sorry to hear that hon. Hope you feel better soon

I'm ill with a stinking cold. Jacob had his first jabs y'day. He is totally bullet proof. Not got ill from my cold I've had since last week, and he's right as rain despite his immunisations y'day.

go Jacob! that's great! the last think you want is a sick newborn when you are sick too.

 

[rooster100]

I know it's not the same but when I have lots of cramps I find drinking loads of water helps!
I wonder how Sarah is? She has been quite recently

 

[moter98]

That's a good idea. I'm gonna keep that in mind anytime I get cramps or bh. It's good to know!
Sarah, hope you are doing well. Is that severe MS still hanging around?

 

[rooster100]

Moter happy 30 weeks! I'm pretty sure I have been writing this every week since u were 6 weeks! I just can't believe yr on the final stretch! What a journey we have all been through together!!
Sarah happy 19 weeks! I hope your busy and not sick and that's why you have been away a while
Hope faythe and baby Jacob are doing well! Xx

 

[moter98]

Thanks rooster. Happy 21 weeks to you and 19 weeks to you Sarah.

We had a blizzard over the weekend. Over a foot of snow! Def looks like winter now

 

[sarahuk]

Hi ladies!! :wave:

Sorry I have been quiet! I have been MIA from the forums Congrats on being weeks closer to your bundles ladies!!

Tina that must have been scary! I did read that dehydration is a bugger for thse BH!

Im still trundling along Morning sickness is still daily, still medicated and have accepted thats prolly just how its going to be for me now I dont mind it so much now. Ive gotten so used to it.

Plus..baby is a wriggle machine and kick machine now! There is no mistaking his moving around which is pretty much a lot of the time atm. Feisty little things arent they at such a young age in there! LOVE it!!

Hope you are all well? xx

 

[moter98]

Glad to hear you are doing well and managing the ms Sarah. Aren't those kicks amazing?!
I'm feeling some pretty strong ones now, along with body parts being shoved into my ribs. Gets uncomfortable at times and he's still gonna double in size yet at least!
Been doing pretty good pregnancy wise so far. However, my terrible two toddler is giving me quite the runaround. I'm exhausted lol

 

[rooster100]

Hi girls! Have missed our little thread so much!
Glad to hear the m/s is a bit more controlled Sarah! That's crap though! It's great feeling baby moving! I'm working so much at the mo I only really feel baby when I stop which feels like never!
Tina I don't know how you do it with a two year old! Well done! Only 9 weeks to go for you! Or maybe less! Are you getting excited!
Afm I am working loads, having scan tomorrow to check baby! Really hope it's ok! Getting quite big now! Had to change to the maternity uniform! Yikes! It's starting to feel real! X

 

[moter98]

I've been working on getting ds into tip top behavior shape before baby comes. My is it exhausting! But he is doing well I'm hoping I have less than 9 weeks. I'm just about ready. Getting awfully uncomfortable. Sleeping is even a pain as I have to keep shifting position to try and get comfy.
Glad all is well rooster. Looks like we are all coming along nicely ;-)

 

[Faythe]

Hi lovely ladies!!!

Oh my Tina, you're almost there! So excited to see your little boy

How're you feeling Rachel?

Aww Sarah, you poor sausage. Can they not change your medication at all?

I've given up expressing. Out of nowhere my supply (that was already an oversupply) went nuts. Was pumping 10oz+ each side just to try and empty as if I didn't I was getting engored. Then tried lowering the amount to bring it back down but it wasn't working and I was in agony.

So I've taken a medication to halt my supply. Took the last tablet yesterday... still producing a teeny bit but the engorgement is going down slowly. Can't go out as leaking badly but it should stop soon.

Jacob's switch to formula has made him sicky. Been using my freezer stash of BM to give him atleast one bottle a day to help the transition.

Feel guilty but EP'ing was so hard and getting me down. Atleast now we can get out for the day etc.

 

[moter98]

Don't feel guilty faythe! You've done your best and nothing wrong with formula IMO. I didn't bf ds for more than a week! And I'm not planning on this one either, though I will try it out again and see how it goes. With formula, sometimes you have to try a few different ones to see which works best for baby. Like for Aden he had so much gas and projectile vomiting that the only formula that he could tolerate was one designed for babies that frequently spit up. But, make sure you give him a week or two on the formula to adjust before trying another kind. In most cases that's all that is needed. You could even mix the formula with half bm to help him transition a little easier.
And wow, that would e so difficult to just do everyday things when you have to express that much! Good for you for sticking it out so long. I don't think I would have made it that far, you are tough

 

[rooster100]

Hi girls! How are we all? Happy 31 weeks Moter! The time is flying!!
Are you all prepared yet?
Happy 20 weeks Sarah! Half way there!
Faythe sounds like your having a tough time with the bf but you did your best and that's all you can do. Jacob looks strong and healthy so your defo doing everything right!
Afm I had my 22 week scan on fri! Went well baby is measuring massive! About 2 weeks ahead his abdominal circumference is huge, was bigger then the average!
It's a big big baby! I am just convienced it will be a boy! We didn't find out but I'm just sure of it! Going to get a massive suprise if its a girl! Xx

 

[moter98]

Rooster, I am READY lol
Got my hospital bag all packed already. Nursery is ready too. Just in case he comes early. I had a ton of bh again yesterday. Almost went in but they calmed down finally. Maybe I just have an irritable uterus, but the pressure and bh are something I will mention to my dr at my appt Friday.
Maybe a big baby means you will go a couple weeks early! Can't wait to find out if its a boy or girl.
Sarah, really hoping that severe ms is letting up for you

 

[moter98]

Faythe, want to see a pic of baby Jacob

 

[Faythe]

The penguin hat is too small lol

Happy 31wks! Wow your pregnancy feels like its flying by!!

Its amazing that people ribs dont get broken!! I have to admit I am a little scared of when those kicks will be with much more force and at the ribs! But they are damn amazing! Its never still in there these days!

Aww sorry to hear that Aden is exhausting you! Is he testing your boundaries? xx

I wish my dear But the three sickness meds they have me on now are the only other ones available. I did wake up today and was not sick so maybe things will improve!

Oh hun You have done a bloody AMAZING job expressing, and for all this time too. That expressing is a full time job! And just look at him..you did good! I know it must have been a hard decision for you to switch but, I think youve made the right decision. Hes had the best start in life from you, but with all the things that came with the expressing, I think it was the right time to transition to the formula. I hope that the last of the milk dries up soon so that you can get back to normal hun.

But well done for all this time!! x
