Morning ladies , its quite on here I'm currently being poked in the nether regions and feeling like I've to go to the loo constantly ! A weird sensation ! How is all the new mamas doing ? I love hearing your updates and all the mums in waiting ?? I am saying a prayer that Santa brings a few BFP with sticky beans in his sack xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

I don't miss those feelings lol but I do miss the lovely kicks and rolls etc can't believe Brooklyns just over a month old already where is the time going, we are getting much more sleep now, he went from 12 til 8.30 with a bottle at 2 and straight back to sleep. Xxxxxxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Awh such a good boy how is his mum doing ?

 

[Oasis717]

Much better now my tear has stopped hurting. Don't know now it split open like that hoping it's healing over now though as it's stopped hurting! Life is still mad and I don't get a minute but I love it!!!! Xxxx

 

[dancareoi]

Regina sounds like baby Sean? Is making you know he's there. How many weeks now!

Becks, glad you're healing.

Caitlin hasn't been well over the weekend and has stopped taking bottles. She has developed a horrible cough and yesterday after every feed she coughed so much that all be milk came back up!

She was asleep by 10 last night. She kept coughing in her sleep and I woke her at 10 this morning. She had a temp earlier of 38.6 but is was back to normal this evening.

I had to throw some of my expressed milk out today as she hasn't drunk it.

I am taking youngest DS back to docs tomorrow so she can check his chest, I'm going to ask her to check Caitlin over as well. Different doc from last week so if Caitlin does have something she may prescribe antibiotics.

 

[josie1234]

Hope they both get better soon. Bless them x

 

[josie1234]

Hi all just off to work so will write more later but finally pos opk. Dh goes back today boo hoo but FX.

 

[dancareoi]

Jo, good timing though for DTD

Taking Caitlin to docs again tonight.

Gutted because 100ml breast milk in fridge that needs to be used today and will have to be thrown out as she is not taking the bottle

 

[Oasis717]

Poor Caitlin, that's what I'm worried about as we all have terrible coughs and I'm praying Brooklyn doesn't get it xxxxx

 

[crazymam]

poor Caitlin, hope she is perking up soon. We spend motnhs worrying about falling pregnant, 9 months worrying all the way through our pregnancy , and then worrying ofr the rest of their lives, my oldest is 20 and I still worry!

Hope everyone else is doing fine.
Baby Brooklyn seems to be settling well you lucky thing x

I had contractions sat night for few hours, ten mins apart, then they stopped!
had a show this morning, but just a small one, been having cramps in tummy and back all day on and off now. seen midwife this morning for check up, head is 3/5 engaged, and booked in for a sweep next Monday, hoping something happens before then though.

 

[josie1234]

Ooh Crazy hope it happens tomorrow for you. Sooo exciting. My step son informed me and DH that his fiancee is pregnant. Only early on though. They are due to get married in March. They are early 20s. I am really pleased for them but feel a bit strange about it. We don't see them too often and she will be about 4 months when they get married so i am feeling a bit funny about it all.

 

[Left wonderin]

Firstly crazy sounds like things are on the move for you not long now !!!! Ill be stalking !!

Jo I bet that is weird ! Hopefully all will be good with the pregnancy . Yeah for the +Opk lets watch those temps rise over the next few days . It will take you some time to get your head round the news . What will,it make you a step nan ???

Dance I'm 28 weeks tommrow , and he certainly is . Feeling the movements is the most reassuring feeling in the world and thankfully he obliges most times first thing in the morning for reassurance for mammy hope Catlain cough gets better soon and she is on the mend its so not nice seeing them unwell poor mites

 

[josie1234]

Sorry, Lisa - hope Caitlin gets better very soon. It is a constant worry eh? Like Crazy said, you think it is a worry when you ttc but it never stops. You think it will get easier as they get older but my DS is now 13 and I do worry lots. When they are poorly (especially when they are so young), you feel so helpless.

Blimey Regina, that has gone so quick, hope it has for you too. It is nice to have that reassurance. Yes, I do feel weird about it (which is strange because I haven't felt funny about other women being pregnant for a while), maybe because it is 'the family' but they are a lovely couple and fingers crossed for them, they will make great parents. I think I am just worried about seeing them but to be honest, although they only live over an hour away, we don't see them that often due to hubby living away and work. Hopefully I will be fine. And you never know, I may be pg by the wedding myself lol. How funny would that be? Yes, I will be a step-nan but seriously that makes me feel old!!

 

[dancareoi]

Regina, I really miss those movements. Mine started at about 12 weeks and it was such a comfort.

Jan, hope baby doesn't keep us waiting too long

Karen, any news?

Becks, hope Brooklyn stays well, there's nothing worse than a poorly baby

Jo, that news will take some getting used to. Your DH could have a grandchild older than a child! Step- nan, whoa!!!

Doctor, after much deliberation, has prescribed antibiotics for Caitlin, she didnt say anything specific just that its more bronchial than what DS had and is on her chest.

She has only been sick once today, but the breast milk has been thrown away.

She's had two lots of the medicine so far, so really hoping she starts to pick up. She was due to have her first lot of jabs on Wednesday (already cancelled once due to being away and will have to cancel again. She is booked in for 4th dec, so hoping she will be better then)

 

[Oasis717]

I hated Brooklyn having to have antibiotics at just a few days old but he really needed them and the infection cleared up so quickly, I'm v worried about him catching what we have as dh says it's the worst cough he's ever had. Praying he stays well. Xx
Jo I totally understand how you feel, when I had my first loss last year a good friend was just ahead of me but hadn't told me due to me loosing my little one. It was hard when she gave birth this year as I couldn't help thinking of my lo lost. Although I was v happy for her it was hard xxxx

No news from me. Still have a full cervix so don't hold your breath. 39 weeks today. I'd really like it to go to full term so next Tuesday is my goal. I don't sleep much, but classic Fm keeps me company all night!

 

[Oasis717]

I would rather go over than be early! So don't blame you got wanting to go all the way. Last bit is hard but you're nearly there! So excited for you, I can't believe I was scared before giving birth, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat it really was a wonderful experience and I def won't be scared if I'm lucky enough to be able to have another xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi ladies,

Hope you are all well today. Lisa - hope the antibiotics work quickly so that Caitlin is feeling better and feeding again. Bless her.

I am crossing my fingers that those still ttc on here get a BFP before Christmas, wouldn't that be fab.

I am looking forward to the pic of the next baby but I understand the wish to go full term. My DS was 10 days over, had to get induced, lazy boy, nothing has changed now he is 13 lol.

Hope the next 7 days go quick for you Creative. I bet it is relaxing listening to Classic FM when you wake up.

I hope my temp rises from tomorrow. FX.
