Londonmiss - Just wanted say that I know what you mean about not feeling PG anymore... I felt the same at roughly the same time in my pregnancy... I had no symptoms and no movement and I was really worried that my scan at 19 weeks would reveal something terrible so uch so that I wouldn't put the MCN's on layby that I wanted until I had seen that everything was ok... Which of course it was.. As for feeling movement... I didn't feel any until 21 weeks because my placent alies straight acroos the from=nt of my belly which cushions it all for a bit longer... Loving feeling all the movement now though.. And what a lovely thing to do for your Mum.. A couple of hours by Darling harbour doesn't sound too bad either...
Lise- Lansinoh is the lanolin cream I think Saph204 is referring to.. It comes in a purple and mauve tube...
Smithy - Your video is super gorgeous.. You can hear the wonder and love in your voice.. Thanks for sharing that and Miss Charlie is gorgeous just like her Mum...
Murph01 - Don't you hate flippant comments like that.. I hope that if you do look into it more that there are some answers to be had... I think you need another Bub in time.. You have too much to offer to just bring one little Murph into this world...
Miss Magpie - I hope that motherhood is still bringing you mountains of joy...
BDT - How are you going sweetie.. I am thinking of you constantly and the girls and I hope that you are not too uncomfortble.. How did you find the heat today on the coast.. It certainly knocked me for a very Aussie six...
BOC - How are you doing Hun... I love reading what you are up to cause I am so close in dates to you...
Greeslw - Hmm... Missing Huh? Sending happy vibes for whatever you are doing... I hope that there is some movement in the Green station...
AFM - Does anyone else get or have gotten bad rib discomfort.. I feel like the ribs straight under my BB's are being crushed.. It usually starts about 3.00pm in the arve and doesn't go away until I go to bed.. I also get the skin in the same place feel like it's raw and have a burning feeling... I bought 2 new maternity bras cause I went up a size but can't wear them.. Even the lycra singlets with the light elastic lining hurt.. so I'm running free in an unsupported lycra singlet at work now.. Oops.. poor work mates... Best news ever though is that I am cutting down my work hours from eight hours a day to six as of tomorrow... Woohoo... It has been starting to take it's toll and I want to look after lil Kracker and myself as much as I can...
Hi to everyone I have missed and Happy Australia day.. Aussie Aussie Aussie...
Oi Oi Oi..
lise...the cream you want is lansinoh.......it is pure lanolin and the only one you can use on your breasts and not have to wash off to breastfeed....I have been using it for a few weeks now and it is truly awesome...you use such a small amount one tube should do your whole breastfeeding journey......
further thing re lanisoh cream - is you can use it to protect your wool nappy covers if you go clothe.
i just used homebrand vitamin e cream all over my body to help with dryness and itchiness.
oh and LM - that time after the 12 weeks scan and before movements are felt is torture! i felt movement about 17 weeks as well. And you are not crazy. even at my 32 week growth scan i was worrying they'd not find a heartbeat or such. After years of everything going wrong all the time, I think we just come to expect it and have real trouble accepting this wonderful thing is actually happening to US! Isn't having babies what everyone else does??? iykwim.
ooh, hope you are all correct about green!!! go lady fingers crossed for safe and sound delivery.
Hello all. Excuse the possibly exceptionally stupid question, but is pawpaw cream actually made of pawpaws? And what else? I think I like the sound of that better than boiled wool oil!! I've got my first hospital appt this afternoon and [this is soooo 'pregnant'] I've got new shoes, best undies on, shaved bits that haven't been attended to for weeks and weeks and weeks. And I've got make up on and blow dried my hair, neither of which has happened for about, oh say 15 weeks and 5 days.....Ha ha. I'm turning into my mother, I'll be wearing good undies in case I get run over next.
I bet Green is pushing now as we speak.... te he he how exciting
Hahahaha Lm that's classic! I did the same before my first Ob appoitnment, but in the end it was a waste of time LOL. Oh and as for the shaved bits, unless there is a problem i.e. you're bleeding or something, they generally don't go down there. Mind you enjoy being able to do it while you can, I can't even see my bits anymore (nor my feet ), and with really bad eyesight and a big belly that can't get close enough to the vanity mirror I can't even use the reflection to shave anymore. I tried to con DH into being my official "deforestation expert" but he told me just to go to a salon & get a wax same goes for painting my toenails.
Not sure what the pawpaw ointment is made of but I would say there are some pawpaw in there some people also recommend Cocoa Butter too. I use these as I have an allergy to Lanolin oil (which apparently is quite common?) and the last thing I want is blistered, rashy nipples.
Enjoy your appointment though! The first one is always the best. I was really glad that my Mum came with me to mine, cause the Ob started asking medical history questions and I had no clue, or no memory and it turns out some were important to note (i.e the family history of breech births and my Mum having had pre-eclampsia with both me & my brother)
Thinking of our little Greenie and hoping she's holding her precious bundle right now!
