Pregnancy after LT TTC #13

[MaggiePie]

This morning forgot to say, Good Luck Paula and hope everything goes well. Let us know when things start happening!

Beachbaby, hope the scan goes well tomorrow, fingers crossed for you.

Have a question for everyone that I keep forgetting to ask... You know how you are not allowed to eat soft cheeses, does this include philli cream cheese? Is this stuff actually cheese or is it just called that so we feel better about eating it because it is sooo yummy?

Also, I know alot of people are having trouble sleeping. I am having these amazing vivid dreams. I can remember having the same with other pregnancies as well. What is this about? Anyone else having crazy dreams?

Hi girls.Just popping in to wish you all the best and hoping that all is going well for everyone.Belly rubs to all.
Paula~ Am always thinking of you.Cant wait to hear of Tiana's arrival via FB.
Ellie is doing great.She is now 3 weeks old...how time flies! She is still so skinny and teeny tiny but putting on weight.She is just devine.We have just started on formula as after 2 weeks of painful breastfeeding,i ended up with mastitis and bleeding nipples but as guilty as i feel for not BF,she is so content and is on a 4 hourly routine with formula.She would easily sleep through the night but i wake her at about 3am,change her nappy and feed her.
You girls will love being a mum.Ellie is wonderful.Its been very tiring,and i dont get much sleep but since we worked out the feeding issue,things have been really good.
I dont have time to log on much anymore but will try to catch up on how everyone is doing.
Please feel free to add me on FB...my name is Alicia Toner and my profile pic is of my little bubba.
Take care.xoxox

You know how you are not allowed to eat soft cheeses, does this include philli cream cheese? Is this stuff actually cheese or is it just called that so we feel better about eating it because it is sooo yummy?

The issue with soft cheeses is that some places use unpasteurised milk to make them. Most (if not all) of the mass-produced cheeses you buy in the supermarket are made from pasteurised milk. The problem is that you can't be 100% certain the milk is pasteurised so they advise us to avoid them in case. But, even if they're unpasteurised, if you cook them, they are supposed to be safe (the cooking kills the bacteria that pasteurisation would have killed). I have no idea about the cream cheese. I suspect being mass-produced it is probably safe, but it's worth asking questions of those who know more about it and have reliable information (rather than my hunch).

airline, great news!

Alicia, good to hear you've got things sorted out. Sorry to hear you had some issues, but I'm glad they're behind you now.

Afm, my DH seems to be completely oblivious sometimes... He has bleached the toilet. It is in our ensuite at the far end of the house and I can smell it from here. He doesn't seem to understand that, if I can smell it from here, I probably shouldn't go to where the fumes are strongest... Men!! Doesn't he realise I need to pee (and the other toilet is out of commission)?

Juniper my hubby is the same.... Today he cleaned the shower with 3 chemicals. Easy off bam, mould killer and tile cleaner!
He also always sprays the toilet sprays like 10 times! Grrr
