Hey Lydia,
sorry to hear about the latest addition to the range of wonderful symptoms pregnancy has blessed us with. I too have been hoping I don't get one of those damned haemarrhoids (sp?) and heeding all advice to eat prunes I actually don't think they work that well on me but I love them so much anyway and figure it can't hurt. I am going to try the juice cos I googled "how many prunes is enough?" and most advise ooh, anything up to 6 prunes...hee hee, I have to stop myself at about 18!!! Still no action happens for a couple of days so I guess I'm just sluggish and slow (oops TMI).
OMG less than 30 days for you now, that's so great. I really hope you have a smooth birth experience and just get that little bugger to behave himself. Hope the last minute shopping is fun for you and not left til you are too big to get around comfortably. I checked out the Big Dub specials online and was going to make a mess of the pay account when we are in townsville until I realised DH's PhD scholarship money has been cut off..WTF??? God it's great dealing with universities and government departments. so here we are in limbo again for the third time in this past almost four years being cut out of the pay system...gotta love incompetency. the first time it took about 6 months to get it sorted again. Ha ha, i am now working the total of one Saturday shift so should be a great laugh for while. Luckily he has a side earner trapping wild dogs and has bagged 5 this week alone! anyway, there is always a spare credit card to max out in extreme emergencies (such as a Big Dub sale I only have to buy a car seat really too.
As for your hiccups, I was just saying to DH today that I wouldn't know if I felt them and he didn't know that babies get them inside, so fat lot of help that is. I guessed that it might be a bit of a regular kind of feeling but can you explain what it's like? I sometimes feel like I can feel her having a wee, if that's possible...just a tad freaky
I have experiences baby hiccups and trust me, you know it when it happens lol! It kinda feels like someone is having a tennis rally on the inside. Your tummy jumps up or spasms each time the baby hic's. Its totally weird. My baby used to decided to put his feet under my rib cage and sttttrrretttchhh every time he got the hiccups so I used to contort like a circus acrobat. I used to have to sit or lie down no matter where I was.
I think it happens alot if the baby is a thumbsucker as mine was. How crazy is it that they suck their thumbs in-utero!
Just thought I would drop in and let you know we had our last 4 hr anti natal class today. Learnt all about c/s births (which was really beneficial for me) and also got an overview on Breast Feeding, Wrapping Baby and Settling Baby to Sleep. They also discussed things like PND and even seperated the classes (dad's in one room and mum's in other), in the mum's room we discussed fun things like tearing and stitches, bleeding and what pad's to bring into hospital, 3rd day baby blues and contraception and resuming your BDing. I personally thought having a brand new baby and sleep deprivation would be the perfect form of contraception IYKWIM. DH told me that they talked about the change in roles for us mum's and about the physical & emotional effects having a baby has on us and they also discussed PND and how to look out for the signs.
So now we are all pepared with as much information as we can gather and now just have to wait patiently for bubs to arrive, although she was being a monkey again today in class and decided it would be fun to stretch her legs out but give me massive pains in my right side (like a stitch). I don't think she really likes me sitting around for too long and does these things to get me up and moving...
Anyway DH is taking me to the pub for dinner tonight to watch the footy. We have realised that we better make the most of these last few weeks as a couple as before we know it we will be 3.
Well hi all. Just checking in to see that everyone is doing fine. I am plodding along. got all of Campbells old baby clothes out today and have put them into soak for a day or two. they are very yellow as Campbell has chronic reflux. I dont know if i will be able to use them again. Which brings me to the hiccups. When I was preg with Campbell he always had the hiccups it becam quite annoying really. And now he still has the hiccups all the time. He is unfortunate in that the valve that closes of his stomache which usually matures around six months of age has not matured so any pressure on his stomach makes hi vomit even now, so I hope this is not a sign. I
was told it is from the baby swallowing fluid.
Went to the baby expo yesterday, got some bargins a nappy bag, a sling and a play mat. Also got a sleeping feeding bar, so wish I had of bought one with campbell. Have a question when did you start wearing maternity bras?
hey saph, poor little campbell. did the docs say when the flappy thing would mature??
as for maternity bras, I waited til 20 weeks and then went to DJs and got properly fitted. I went from a 12B to a 16C. I never would have gone up to a 16 if i didn't have a lady doing a proper fitting as usually I'm a size 12 and i would have only thought to go up one size at most.
apparently your milk ducts develop on the sides as well so you have to make sure the cup encapsulates the whole lot.
anyhoo, I bought 2 good bras for DJs (wasn't even taht exxy) and now just going to pick up a couple of cheapies and some materity singlets from big dub.
I was told at the fitting that your boobs go up and down in size and to make sure you still have room for a bit of give.
hello girls.
i hope your all having a good weekend.
