very nice nursery presh-i love the wings! sorry to hear it has been tough-I can't even imagine going through a pregnancy let a lone a tough one with another child to care for! But I want 3 kids, so I better prepare myself!!! hahaha. Hope you feel better-it must feel weird when your body is saying lets have this baby when it is way too early!

Hi ladies.

Lovely nursery Presh. Sorry to hear you're feeling like that, hope you start to feel better soon.

Hope everyone else is ok?

Afm, had my first ante natal class yesterday which DH came. He found it really interesting which I think surprised him. We did stages of labour, what to look out for, support from father, when to go to hospital, pain relief options and physiology of labour. Next week is what are the options if things don't go to plan and third week is how to care for your baby.

Have a scan friday morning at 32 weeks so should know if baby has moved. Let's hope so!

Hi lovelies, glad to see your ok.
Love the nursery Presh! Hope your feeling better now, I really need to get my blood test done coz I'm sure I'm very anemic too. I've got midwife next week so I'm looking forward to that, wonder if I'm big/small?

Sonia, bet you can't wait to see your little man again, wonder what he weighs? I guess you will know which way your heading- early birth, etc.

Hey Almost, how you doing? Your pregnancy is going quick!! How your feeling?

Elz and sunshine, glad your ok, fingers and toes crossed for this month.

Hope all the beautiful babies are well and thriving xx

 

[almosthere]

[Soniamillie01]

Yes can't wait, should know more then you say about size, weight and being early, position etc. hope you're ok x

 

[almosthere]

GL at yuor scan friday sonia!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks ladies.

YAH good news, DH has a new job! He went for an interview today for a job that he wasn't really interested in but really liked the company. They then called 15 mins afterwards and offered him a better job as night shift manager, starts tomorrow

 

[almosthere]

oh wow congrats to your DH sonia wonderful news!!! =)

 

[almosthere]

have any of you ladies who are pregnant used stool softener? I had severe shooting pains and cramping and gas for 20 mins in a row, called my nurse, and she told me to take stool softner-but then the pharmacist said there have been no studies on pregnant woman taking it and to prob not take it often....so now I am worried if I should bother taking it or not :/

 

[shradha]

Almost- you must try and have lots of water. I was advices by my doctor to increase my intake of water to avoid constipation. If you already are suffering from it you can have milk of magnesia.

Sonia- all the best for scan and congratulations to your dh on getting a new job.

Presh- hope you are feeling better. Loved the nursery.

Jembug- how are you?

 

[iow_bird]

lactulose is safe in pregnancy. xx

 

[Jembug]

Well done Sonia on your husband, no more stress now have a lovely scan, can't wait to hear how much he roughly weighs.

Almost I've tried all sort apart from lactose- which I've heard it good? Nothing work for me and so I have piles- ha ha, maybe I will try lactose too.

Hi shradha, I'm good on the pregnancy front just a bit of heartburn.

Low bird how are you?

I'm pure stressed, had no car for over two weeks and I find out today if it can be repaired? So that means a new car and being major tight whilst on maternity leave and if we have to get new car it means I can't save for this business plan I was hoping to do with my step mum in September. Grrrrrrr, just feel we are a decent family who work hard to have what we got and everything seems to be in our way. I'm never like this always see the happy side if life but um struggling at the mo.
I'm grateful I have my health and our family are all well.....
Anyways, hope your all have a fab day xx

 

[almosthere]

thanks for all the advice ladies-have steered away from the cvs brand stool softner I bought for now-think pooing once a morning is good enough, no? That is what I have been doing hmmm

sorry to hear things will be tight with baby jem-I just found out some icky news-since I got denied disability at my new job, no 6 months partial paid mat leave for me-so I will be out of pay for 4 months =( Why in the world is mat leave not separate for disability?! I am going to call and ask why I was denied if I ever find the numberrr!! MY boss did say I could skip out on my other two vacations and get paid in may/June for 2 weeks (whenever I am out of work...) But weeks off at the very end of my pregnancy could be nice!

Stool softeners are safe. Your body doesn't absorb them, they just lubricate your digestive system or whatever. So you can take them. BUT. If you continue having issues with this, up your fiber intake so you can avoid taking the softeners, just to be safe. I had MAJOR issues with it early on in this pregnancy. So I started eating FiberOne cereal and some high-fiber fruit for breakfast and I haven't had to take a softener since! Isn't pregnancy wonderful?!?! lmao

Hi ladies.

Jem - sorry to hear about your car, hope it gets sorted.

Had growth scan and all is ok. Measuring in schedule now, he just seemed to have a growth spurt in the middle as opposed to now. He has long legs like his daddy, lots of hair and is weighing in at 5lb, had gained 2lb since last scan which they said is normal, 1/2 a pound a week. Have been discharged from consultant so no more scans but no more consultant x

 

[Soniamillie01]

Here he is xx

 

[Jembug]

Your photos are amazing!
Glad all is well.... Isla was 6lb at 36 weeks and was 6 days over her due date but still only weighed 6lb 12oz at birth.... So who knows?
How can they tell he has hair??? That's amazing! My two were born a loads, so I'm expecting this one will too?

As for car.... Broken forever! So I'm having a glass of red wine to make me happy.
What's everyone up to this weekend? Xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Oh no, sorry to hear about the car.

She showed us on the screen. Fluff around the head - she said it was hair. Was amazing.
Xx

 

[sunshine82]

Thanks for sharing the lovely pic Sonia- awwww amazing, pleased everything went well- cant believe your ticker just over 50 days left!

Jem- im so sorry you are having a tough time- grrr at cars they are so expensive when they go wrong- hope it all works out okay for you and gets sorted soon.

Almost- how are you doing- sorry to hear about maternity pay hope they can sort that for you my dear, its hard going when no mat pay. Hope you are feeling better

Elz- how are you doing?

Hi to everyone else hope you are all well.

AFM, cd4 had a shorter cycle this month af arrived cd40 (beats last two which have been 45 days plus!) so my cd 15 smiley didnt seem to be right on my digi opk- prob geared up to ov but didnt with all the stress of car written off etc! Hopefully though i can get my cycles shorter and more regular they are getting better!
Anyway its a fresh cycle now and new start! I have started my cbfm s hope that helps! not going to over think anything this month if it happens it happens because i have had enough! lol! maybe the change in attitude to whatever will help me instead of me being so precise and analytical! well see lol!

My mum rang the other morning so happy she was saying she had just had the most wonderful dream - she said we were all at the hospital and i had just given birth to a lovely baby boy with blond hair- she said it was so realistic and how happy me, oh and all the family were- brought a tear to my eye- would love to make that one come true- but like i said above i have to stop trying so hard and it may sort my cycles out and happen if i stop the stress! I didnt realise it could be ttc and stressing that is the thing thats messing up my cycles- sorta catch 22! but i promise to be good this month!

Catch up soon!

Lots of love xxx
