We made the trimesters pass quickly!

Mummy I had a lot of movement down low with Riya head down. I just thought it was maybe her arms moving around or her headbutting.

Thanks kiwi.

How's the little angel doing?xx

She is doing great!

Hi ladies, hope all is well. Welcome BB.
I also find myself feeling more and more panicked that something might go wrong. I've kept the tags on everything we purchased for baby. I feel so guilty because I haven't really set up his space at all. My next appointment is Thursday and I'm still paranoid about weight gain. Hopefully, I've actually gained at least a pound. I'm trying to eat more food, but then terrified of my sugar getting out of control . Looking forward to these last 12 weeks to fly by .

Awww , I am sure everything is going to be ok hun!

Morning ab. I am so tried this morning I snoozed my alarm around 8 times, don't know what's wrong with me, OH rang me up told me to get my bum out of bed I could barley open my mouth to speak to him I was that shattered so he said he will pick up M from nursery this afternoon and take her swimming so I can get some sleep. Bless him.

It's stormy here too, I'm thinking there isn't much point doing my hair to take Madeleine to nursery lol xx

 

[ab75]

Ah bless him, thats so sweet of him.
No, defo don't do your hair lol.

Hope you enjoy your afternoon nap. I had a good sleep last night xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I can't believe how windy it is!

I'm so jealous of your lovely sleep, I bet I won't end up sleeping later, sure I will probably clean instead lol.

I think I might give the midwife a call later I've not felt much movement from Archie, he's still moving but not as much and they're really gentle movements xx

 

[ab75]

You are always cleaning lol.

Yeah be better to phone. Best to get checked and put your mind at rest. Hope you get some sore sharp kicks soon lol xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I know, OH is always telling me to calm down on the cleaning but I've always been this way, think it may of got a bit worse since been pregnant lol.

Thanks me too xx

Morning

Clear skies here but bloody horrendous wind.

I forgot to ask you girls, have any of you used Tommee Tippee closer to nature bottles, what are they like? I'm looking at MAM or the closer to nature ones (because they're pink ) I'm not going to get breastflow because Jay was fine with avent. I will be BF but want to express for other people to feed her.

After getting the flu jab I've had an awful dry sore throat, I'd rather have a runny nose

Baby girls movements are mainly all at the top of my stomach and round my belly button, she's head down. Now and then I get the feeling like she's shaking her head and bouncing up and down which feels really strange down there x

 

[ab75]

Morning ub,
I bf but used Avent when I expressed because that was what sterliser mil bought me. But it was a tommee tippee pump I had and we got a couple of bottles with it, were just much the same. I keep looking at the tommee tippee closer to nature bottles now but will probably just pick up whatever is on offer lol as I'll only need a couple xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

We had avent bottles. Did you know you can get them in pink and blue too? Xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

We used the tommee tippee with katie and never had a problem, everyone I know has used them too. We've got the tt manual breast pump this time so we can use tt bottles again if needed.
The weather is horrendous here too today, iv taken katie to nursery and been to asda. I got a box of 80 breast pads for 50p! If oh had been with me I would have bought more boxes as they were reduced from £2 xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Wow that's a bargain Carly. Have you started on your hospital bag now? I need to start picking things up as I go along. I can't remember when I started buying my hospital things with Madeleine. Xx

 

[ab75]

I struggled with pumping so I sold my pump. I was able to express by hand better. I might try a manual pump this time if I need one.
Soooo excited, we have bought tickets for The Bodyguard in march. Dh jokingly mentioned it as he has a thing for Alexandra Burke, so we got tickets yesterday. Should be fab xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ab - what's bodyguard ?

Ooh Alexandra Burke, I'd forgotten all about her, where has she gone? xx

 

[ab75]

The Bodyguard is a Whitney Houston movie. Am I really that old that you have not heard of it? Lol.
I am going to start my bag this week, now that all the Christmas presents are wrapped and back in the loft I can get into Owens wardrobe now and get things out xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Nah I haven't really mummy, i've only bought breast pads
I had an electric pump with katie but only used it twice I think then I stopped bf at 5 weeks. I'm hoping to go longer this time but only got a manual pump just incase I need it xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I've never heard of it!! Could just be me though.

What sort of things will you be packing in your bag if your planning a home birth ab? Are you going to get one of those blow up pool things to go in? I've seen those on pregnancy and birth programmes xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

I'd love a home birth! Just so I could cuddle up with oh after and have a Chinese xx

 

[ab75]

Lol.

I'm going to pack in case I have to go to hospital. And of I don't well at least everything will be in one place to save dh having to look for everything. I am only planning on putting pj's for me, breast pads, maternity pads and towel and toiletries. Sleepsuit, nappies, cotton wool and vest for Owen. Still need to buy a little snowsuit for him xx
