Hello ladies. 2010 is proving quite busy....!
Just in case I'm not the only one suffering from Mos bites, here's the response I had to the question I sent to the pharmacist who deals with such questions from neurotic mothers to be!! Hope it helps
"Insect repellent is not usually recommended to be applied to large areas of the body. Apply to small areas only and cover up with light coloured long-sleeved clothing to prevent mosquito bites. Alternatively clothes could be sprayed with the insect repellent.
For bites, you could use hydrocortisone cream (eg Dermaid) to help reduce itch and swelling, or for an antiseptic you could use Savlon antiseptic. One of the ingredients in SOOV bite I am unable to find safety information on, it is unlikely to be a problem, but the ingredients in Savlon are safe.
I am unable to find information regarding safety data of Pawpaw ointment, it is unlikely to be of concern however. It may be used.

For a tip on what to put on mozzie bites - Try vicks vaporub.. it's awsome... Works pretty much on all types of bites too, like ant bites or midgies... Sorry no tips on repellants... HTH..
Hi Girls.I have been so annoyed the past 2 days.My lovely big belly deflated after i went to the toilet sorry (TMI) and now im not so big.I never thought constipation could have caused so much bloating!! I even cried yesterday saying to my mum "There's probably no baby there!! Im so flat now and i want my belly back". (I know,what a sook i am)
This paranoia is driving me up the driveway to a nut house!! :shakehead:
Im at that stage where symptoms are only,frequent weeing,weird dreams,sore nipples and not feeling movements yet.( I thought i did last week but that must have been wind):redface:
I dont get another scan til 19 weeks and i cant stand it!!
Mum understands my paranoia as with all i have been through to get here but DH thinks im being silly.He says "You have 3 scan photos showing us a healthy baby...what more do you want?" I could strangle him for his insensitiveness. (He hates it when i cry,he gets quite annoyed) PLUS they both say i clearly look pregnant,but i think my tummy has always looked chubby to the rest of my 47KG frame.
My question is did anyone else feel this way until they were comforted by movements.?
yes me! Look a few pages ago, I got lots of good advice, and it really helped. Dare I say it, your DH is right. You are pregnant in the absence of information saying otherwise! If nothing is going wrong, you'll just be growing away quietly. Distract yourself with other stuff. I've been working out when 150 days is, 125, 100 and so on.
:hug::hug: aww my pooor sweet heart, what you are feeling is very normal TRUST ME I KNOW i was just the same and always worried about my belly size and i to am only a tiny girl.i think its taken us sooooooo long to get here we just never relax until we see thoses beautiful babies in our arms,i worried every bloody day and cried most of them to just from worry,though it helps that your mum is there for you what a good mum.so in my opinion you are not being silly at all and i truely hope you feel better soon and your next scan is an awsom one,im here holding your hand always ok take care sweet girl love smithy xoxo:
NOW LITTLE BUBBA BE GOOD FOR MUMMY AND GROW VERY BIG AND STRONG ;)
A BIG HI TO YOU ALL.
woohoo saphso glad for you.xxoo xxoo
i love to read the preg after LTTC thread, i imagine myself posting in here, this is my year.
Thankyou Londonmiss and Smithy~ Its soooo hard at these moments.
London miss~ I looked back and read your posts and the support you received.You sounded EXACTLY like how i feel.Its good to hear that its a normal emotion.
Smithy~ Your note brought me to tears.thankyou for your support.Im feeling much better now.
Im so glad i have this forum.xx
Awwwww Wantbaby :hug: what you are feeling is exactly 100% normal! I was the same, and while I got movement early the gap between U/Ss was excruciating.
Oh and believe me, try as hard as you can to enjoy the little tummy, I exploded really early and it is just as horrible when you're already tired, emotional and worried to have everyone you see tell you how huge you look on a daily basis. I tell ya, if one more person asked me "how many" I was having or said "how an earth are you going to make it to full term you're so huge already!" I was gonna slap someone :lol:
Just try & enjoy every day, make the most of it.
So when is the big scan hun?
Boc~ Thankyou.My scan isnt until March 9 but i have my next antenatal 25th Feb so i might get my ob to do a quick scan.He doesnt like scanning much but seeing as im a nervous wreck normally and im paying sooooo much,i should be a bit more demanding.I have just started sculpting again.I took a few months break from working due to a mental block so that, and baking chocolate cupcakes all afternoon has taken my mind off things for a while.
Now im heading back to the kitchen to cook Chicken Chasseur with Potato and Fried garlic Zucchinni...yummy.
xoxoxox
Wantbaby: when you're done wanna come to my place and cook our dinner too :rofl: I just can't be stuffed today, it's chicken & salad for us tonight :lol: You are so good! You make me look bad woman :dance:
Hi girls, Feeling so much better today. Quickly do my birth story, I had the prostin gel put on at 4 pm and contractions pretty much started straight away. They sent me down to the birth suites at 10 to have epidural in as because of my pelvis they wanted it started early. So that went in round about 1 am and as I rolled onto my side so it worked on oth side not just one my waters broke. I was examined and was only 3cm dilated we were all taking bets as to what time. Concences was about 5am. Well in just under an hour i was fully dilated and with a few good pushes he was here. It was the most wonderful experience having him put on my chest still covered in goop. We didnt have this with Campbell he was rushed off to intensive care before i got to hold him. The worry I had with the two boys bonding was a waste. Campbell came in bypassed me and wnet straight to Xavier and was patting him and touching him and kissing him. It was the the most beautiful thing to see.
Now for the gorry bits. I had a large blood loss and so last night had three blood transfussions, but /i feel wonderful today. Maybe home tomorrow we will have to see as Xavier has an ultrasound at 4. He is feeding well.
Hope everyone is doing well.
:clap:way to go saph so glad your feeling better today hun and thanks for sharing your birth ,your one clever girl sweety.
wantbaby,your more than welcome my darlin you hang in there ok and know were here for you any time..big hug for you OH AND CHOC CUP CAKES OMG YUMMO :clap: drooooooll

me..better go help my wonderful dh whom is cooking us pork chops and chips on the bbq im suppose to be getting the salad ready..woops lol.
Saph - congratulations on the birth of Xavier. Thanks for sharing your birth story and I am glad to hear you are feeling much better. I bet it would have been beautiful to see Campbell being so loving to his little brother.
Wantbaby - glad you are feeling better. Your baking sounds delicious! And I agree that you are paying the specialist a fortune so if you want a quick scan he should oblige.
Greenslw - Congratulations to you to on the birth of Lincoln. Good luck with the breast feeding I hope it is getting easier for you.
BDT - good luck tomorrow. I look forward to hearing your news.
AFM - I am a bit behind on the whole finding out gender discussion. We are having our 20 weeks scan in about 2 weeks and we won't be finding out the gender. DH was adamant about not wanting to know so I guess I never really had to make the decision. I am happy with that though and think it will be a lovely surprise at the end of all that pushing.
A big hello to everyone else!
BDT...
GOOD LUCK FOR TOMORROW HOW EXCITING HUN YOUVE NEARLY DONE IT WOOHOO:cheer::cheer:
follow this link girls... lets cheer our girl on for tomorrow

Hi Girls,
Just popping in to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Saph and Greenslw on the birth of their beautiful boys :dance::leap: Hope all is going well and look forward to speaking to you in the parenting thread.
BDT - Wishing you all the best for tomorrow morning. Its been a long time coming and finally your beautiful little girls will be here tomorrow. Hope all goes well, will be thinking of you. xx
:hello: to all the others girls and big belly rubs :D
Goodluck tomorrow BDT.... I'm so excited for you... Jumping out of my skin... I was going to ring but I figured you would have more than enough excited family doing that... But i'll be thinking of you...
Hey all. Good luck for tomorrow BDT, hope all goes well for you. Saph - thanks for the birth story. I'm liking the theme of very short births ever since Poppy started the trend! Hopefully it can continue for another 5 months!
Smithy - what's a PIG? I'm intrigued.
Nothing new to report here. Been to pregnancy yoga and my back feels better. DH flies tomorrow and back Thursday 4.45 am. :dance: Hope you are all well. x
BDT - all the best for tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and DH and looking forward to reading the happy news :)
;) its a post it girl hun were you do a friends b/a:
Aaaah! Now I understand!!! Sorry was having a blonde moment.......
:ROFL: LOL DONT WORRY HUN I HAVE THEM ALL THE TIME LATLEY
i used to think the same "whats a pig " ?
have a wonderful day girls .
Hmmmm wonder what BDT is doing right now??? Can't wait for the news!
Sorry it's a bit of a "me" post. Got the attention span of a goldfish today and persies just weren't working LOL but rest assured I am thinking of you all and hoping everything is going swimmingly in your worlds!
AFM: Had my Ob visit yesterday. Got a big NO to GD (Yay!) and a big NO to Factor 5 Leiden (Yay!) so very relieved there. Cookie is still measuring +3cm on fundal so if still that way next fortnight they're booking me in for another 3D US (Yay! Well not that it's big but at another 3D US cause our 20 week one was crap due to a certain little someone misbehaving!)
And we're still very much a breech, hasn't budged in over 5 weeks now! So been told the big decision will be made in 5 weeks and to prepare myself for the likelihood of a caesar. I'm actually quite comfortable with it, surprisingly. Maybe because I've had time to prepare and thought it all over in my head. Anyway as long as Cookie arrives safely that's all that matters!
Our antenatal and our Breastfeeding clinic are all finished now. DH loved it and it was great seeing him get so involved. I really got nothing out of antenatal, they really didn't tell me anything I didn't already know but the Breastfeeding clinic was fantastic! I would highly recommend it to anyone who gets the option, even if it's not your first as there has been lots of changes in research over the past year.
My physio is starting to dread me I think, now it's not only my back but my coccyx and right hip have packed it in too. Ahhhh not long now and hopefully it will get better. DH says he just needs a bullet to fix it :lol:
So the countdowns begin, first cab off the rank, 1 week & 4 days to our 1st anniversary and our holiday YAY! Then 8+6 til EDD double YAY!
:bellyrubs: to you all, hope everyone has a great day!
:clap: MISS BOC.. im soooo luven your ticker pic
and what a cheeky little breech bubba,you sond like your on a high hun and so you should be YOUR GOING GREAT and lots of woohoos to come for you in the next few weeks ,ill be here the hole way my friend .

Hiya!
Just a quick one...
To all you lovely ladies staring down the barrell of a caesar, something to think about. This article was posted on Facebook by none other than our fearless leader, Belly Belly Kelly! I have printed it off and am taking it to my next Ob appoint to discuss the possibility of this should I end up going down this road.

SMithy: thanks hun :hug: I am loving my big round belly at the moment and trying to make the most of these last few weeks! Poor Coops, make sure you eat a nice big juicy steak in front of him tonight :rofl:
Thinking of you BDT! Go you lil mama you!
Oh wierd - not sure I could do that! I see she's a nurse, it probably makes her braver. It's not the baby bit that I couldn't do, it's watching someone cutting me open. I think it might make my heart rate panic the aneathetist!
:clap::clap::clap: oh wow ,boc i think this is awsom how beautiful hun ,thanks for sharing that ,...just beautiful:
Hey girls!
I havent been able to post for a while as I have been moving blimin' house. It was a snap decision but had to be done before Blue arrives and thank goodness we did it! No way in HELL could I have managed it will with a newborn. Anyways we are all moved in and I love the new house. I have discovered that not having the interwebs or foxtel is a form of torture to a 32wker with a seperated pelvis lol.
I cant catch up on the persies but am so happy to see that everyone is going great guns :)
SO excited for BDT!!! Surely not long to go now!
And you too Smithy! How wonderful! She's just gorgeous :)
Wow. It just struck me how quickly the time has gone. Its quite scary actually... sometimes I am still shocked that I am preg. STILL doesnt seem real. Am I nuts or does anyone sometimes feel that its just SURREAL?
Big huge hugs everyone,
Sammie

Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for your well wishes.
OMG I am in heaven. Our baby girls were born yesterday, 3rd Feb at 8.34 am and 8.35 am, Aria weighing 2.3kg and Sophia weighing 2.8kg. The C-section was so quick and smooth, both girls came out beautifully, we had skin to skin in recovery, were in the nursery by 9.00 am, and they both had their first breast feed right away. It was divine and I can not have hoped for a better birth experience by C-section. Both girls are perfect and no troubles at all, so good in fact they are rooming in with us and no time in special care nursery. They are both having a good go breastfeeding, and it seems like I have a good supply of colostrum so far, am just about to start expressing.
I can't believe they are finally here and they are ours, they are beautiful, Aria a little more like me, and Sophia a little more like DH in looks. I am so in love with them already!
Here are some pics on facebook. Login | Facebook
