Pregnancy after Long Term TTC #2 - 2009

[Kaydee78]

Woo hoo! New thread... Sending to all.

Quick question for those girls who have baby bits stuck under their ribs.. any clues on getting bubs to move a bit to make things a bit more comfortable? Been in a fair bit of pain all afternoon with something stuck up high in my rib cage.

Have a great week everyone.

Hi all - just wanted to keep subscribed to the thread so I can keep track of how you are all going.

Big congrats to Megan on Noah (love the name). Sorry haven't been in here earlier, but as I am sure you are aware - life is a little hectic at the moment!

AFM - all is going well. Jasmine is a very good baby, but like most bubs her age, has been suffering a little with wind, so has been a little unsettled. Apart from that BF is going well, she is not refluxy which is great and she is just too cute for words. Can I just say to all of you still waiting the arrival of your miracles, there really is nothing like holding your own little baby in your arms - it is MAGIC.

GL to you all and I am keeping a close eye on how you are going.

Just jumping in the new thread, think I over did it today at the shops and be thinking it's time for June Bug and I to catch a few Zzzzzz.

Hi girls

Janie, Jasmine sounds divine.

Hello to everyone!

Does anyone know if it is safe to get a massage? I have heard conflicting views and don't want to do the wrong thing. Thanks girls.

after 13 weeks it's generalkly ok Neptune - but i'd be getting myself to someone that specialises in pregnancy massage. tehre ARE trigger points in odd spots that can cause pre-term labour. from what friend (masseuse) said, the preference is for you to be feeling movement before you get a full massage as you can feel the baby get worked up if blood flow to uterus increases too much

Hi Grub

A Belly band is an elastic type of strap that you use when you can't do up your button anymore on your pants. You use the band to basically be able to do up your pants as your belly grows. They have 2 different sizes of bands in the pack and when your tummy gets really big you also have material that you thread onto the belly band to cover the gap up as you can't do up your zipper.

I also have bought a couple of waist bands as well (they are the one's you are talking about) but at the moment I can get away wirth just having a long top over my work pants or jeans to hide the belly band.

I found mine really hard to find, but I live in the country and we only have 1 maternity shop (which is closed on Sunday's) so ended up getting it from Bra's N Things. For a $30 investment and not having to buy maternity jeans or maternity pants for work, I think it was a fantastic investment.
