Angel - phew, I am soo glad it's not just me.... I have been champing at the bit to get going again... I could be crazy though but at least we're in good company together.
Reet - sorry I missed you in my round up... how rude, not intentional though. How's lil Yogi? DH's and their pram wish list.... at least if you get one he has some say in, he'll he happy to push it.... that's why I got a neutral colour, at least then he won't be put off by some bright pink thing. LOL. PML re teh mental image of people in the waiting room thinking your Dad was your sugar daddy.... I didn't even think of that. I took my mum to an appointment once, she happened to be visiting and I needed some checking out, and she seemed a bit uncomfortable and even when she heard the baby's heart beat, she didn't seem that enthused. It kinda put me off inviting anyone in for appointments. Glad your invitee was suitably excited... know what you mean about being a hermit and isolated.... I am still on here heaps... my self imposed limit starts on Monday... I will only be allowed on for a certain amount of time each day... LOL let's see how that goes. What else am I to do while Hannah is asleep, certainly not housework that's for sure.... was hoping for a longer nap time today so I could, but I missed my chance to nap cause I was on BB. Oh well, time to suck it up princess for me.
Ferrals - hah, stalk away... I am so keen. You'll have a date soon.... so so cool
Mildez - glad they're only BH and that you've got a new obs ( sorry the last one wasn't much to talk about thou) LOL re no DTD. It's only a short drought.
Forshelby - hiya.. bet you're so over the whole baby bump now..... not long sweetie.
Got to run. toodles

Hello ladies!
I'm still stalking this thread but as I only have my iPhone to post on I can't really do persies so I feel bad and don't post at all! Sorry! I have been reading though!
Just wanted to wish Ferrals and Forshelby all the best for the immanent arrival of their precious bubbas! Can't wait to hear the exciting news!
I'm 18 weeks today. Still finding it hard to believe. Wish I knew a way to get over the fear and just enjoy it but I really don't think it's going to happen! Scan in 6 days.. That will reassure me for a bit I guess!
Have a great day ladies xx
-
ok attempting persies from memory.
Dory- I have flip flop style slippers for hospital. Do you think I should have rubber thongs for the shower? 4 to a room sharing the bathroom. And yes, I am over it lol. I told bubby last night to get out of my tummy and go to their room. Lol.
Reet- Here's what I packed in my bag.
Slippers, breast pads, maternity pads, 3 nursing bras, singlets, 3 pairs of trackie dacks, 7 pairs of knickers (lol), hot/cold breast soothing gel pads, socks, spare change, toiletries i think thats it.
As for buying nursing bras I was told as long as you can get your hand flat in the top of it near the strap comfortably, thats enough room for growth when your milk comes in.
Everyone else, hi, hugs and belly rubs :)
AFM- I had a rough night last night. Couldn't sleep until 4am because of this sucky cold! Dp has been lovely tho, and is picking up everything humanly possible for me to get better from the chemist. In tummy related news, I think I'm having more BH than before, things are ummmm moving VERY well in toilet town (lol) and I AM READY. Please come out, baby!!
-
Sorry for not posting but i have been reading i promise :)
I also want to wish Ferrals and Forshelby all the best, so exciting & i can't wait for your BA's.
-
OK ladies i have a date the 18th of march so 14 days to go not 12 but i am happy with that as it's a friday and then i wont have to worry about DH taking the boys to school ect over the weekend.
So forshelby its your turn next unless you go a few days late.
Mildez-glad you swapped OB's seems your last one wasnt quite on the ball.
Reet-glad i could help on the hospital bag just one other thing i have done is to have extra clothes for me and bub at home ready for DH to bring in if needed and the bottles and forumla if BF is not possible i have put them all in the same spot so if i need them i can tell DH and he doesnt have to go searching the house for them and maybe even end up bringing the wrong things in you know men:rolleyes: just trying to be prepared i am even going to have a weeks worth of uniforms and easy meals ready for my boys so DH can spend as much time at the hospital with me and the boys will be all good at home they wont spend much time at the hospital they get to bored.
Angelfish- i know i am counting the days now.
Alish-13 weeks now the fun bit when you start to look pregnant thats the best.
Stoked- 18 weeks awesome i wish i could say something to help with your fears but to be honest nothing anyone says really helps until we hold our babies in our arms safe.
Forshelby-not long now! my toilet habits have changed to i find it very easy now.
AFM-Car capsule is in soooo exciting saw the OB booked my c section date he checked bub she is very happy OB wanted me in hospital until my c section i said no chance i have had no bleeding so i will be fine at home he has given DH a doctors certificate for centrelink so he dosnt have to look for work or do any courses until after the 30th of march as he doesnt want me by myself incase of going into labour early or hemorrage he said bub is looking very ready to be born and he had a quick look at the u/s and it showed the placenta 8mm away from the cervix and my cervix has shortened and is starting to thin out so getting ready for labour he just said rest rest and try to get to 38 weeks.

What a cute belly Ferrals :D
Hi to everyone im so tired i have read everything just doing a selfish post before i head to bed
Is it normal for bubs to have hiccups alot? he seems to have them heaps
Now its freaking me out it might mean something is wrong. I just want to see him on monday we havent seen him since 19 weeks to know hes growing okay
another question about 32 week scan a very dumb one i was to embarrsed to ring and ask them. Do i need a full bladder like the earlier ones or its dosent matter now hes big :redface:
-
kellbell, no to the full bladder and DS had the hiccups from the minute i conceved to the minute he was born, it was weird that molly didnt have them much. and i can promise you there is nothing wrong with ds! hugs
-
Ferrals- Oh ur tummy is tiny! and ur frog is so cute! :) Woohoo 14 days to go!! Good that u cld convince the ob not to put u in hospital for the remaining time... that wld be so boring!! Make sure u just take it easy at home tho.
U really are all organised for ur hospital stay! I think if i need extra clothes ill just get dh to take some home to wash. I dont think ill worry about the formula backup plan.. ill be so sad if i cant b/f. Have u had troubles in the past??
Dory- Pls dont apologise for forgetting me in ur last post u silly duffa! I always forget ppl! plus i hadnt posted in so long i dont blame u for not remembering me :) Little yogi boy is really good, altho we have found out he is a huge sook! Yesterday i heard an awful really loud crying/howling noise coming from the backyard, i raced out expecting to see a snake eating him or maybe from a spider bite or something but nope.. when he got to me i was looking for green ants attacking him or something else only to find he had a bit of poo hanging from his bottom! He mustnt have liked having it stuck to him! He had been eating wallaby poo down at a park so it must have been a bit of a grassy poo... I cldnt believe it! He was jumping around crazily whilst crying and managed to flick it off, he had a sniff of it and went and laid down and just looked up at me all sad! Hahaha i cldnt believe it! He's getting his 16 week vaccinations tomoro, it will be interesting to see how he goes with them!
I dont mean to be negative but i dont think ur going to be able to keep off bb starting monday! :) I have found whenever i have made plans to stop or start something from monday onwards, it never happens. I was meant to start exercising on monday... hmm around 40 mondays ago tho!! I dont see any reason for u to cut back ur internet time anyway, u deserve to be doing something that makes u happy.. some good quality 'you' time! Cleaning can wait.. :)
Stoked- All the best for ur scan in 6 days!! How exciting!! I still manage to scare myself with bad thoughts so i really dont think the fear goes away... i guess u just gotta go with the flow and appreciate every day that ur growing a healthy little baby!
Forshelby- Thankyou for ur hospital bag list, ill add the things to my list! Have u heard that the breast soothing pads are good?? Ive never heard of them, do u just get them from the chemist?? Did u also get some nipple cream??
Oh if ur going to the toilet heaps baby is on its way! Well from what ive heard anyway! Is dp on a strict no alcohol ban this weekend just incase?? :)
Angelfish- Is ur dp keen to start ttc again?? How are his kiddies with little Miss Honor??
AFM- DH is home for his week off! Yay! Not much else happening. Hopefully going to go and do some baby shopping tomoro, i really want to buy a cot, change table and pram so i feel a little organised!
Dh being home also means DTD daily, which im happy with, it wld actually feel a bit weird not doing it daily when hes home since its what we are used too. But what i dont like is when baby starts kicking around during it.. its kinda off-putting! I actually had to stop dh a few weeks ago cos i just cldnt handle it! I honestly just feel like a baby making machine now, my bbs arent leaking or anything but i still dont really like dh going near them, and theres no way he can go 'down there' with all this CM (TMI!!) Dh loves foreplay but with my baby making machine body a lot of things are a bit off limits! Poor bugger! Oh well hes still content by the end of it.. :) Anyway enough of that talk!
Have a good weekend girls! xxx
-
Kell- Sorry i just took forever to do that last post and missed urs, kept getting interrupted!
My baby gets hiccups atleast 3-5 times a day, it feels really bizarre a lot of the time cos when i sit down it vibrates thru my bottom since baby is head down! Its normal.. and apparently it isnt annoying for them like it is for us.. thank goodness! And no to the full bladder! :) x
-
Thanks girls
Have fun baby shopping tommorow Reet
I know what you mean i get turned off when hes moving around while were mucking around and my boobs are too sensitive so off limits. Poor man think hes dreading the first few weeks after bubs is born as no action for him haha :p
-
Reet~ have fun baby shopping.
kellbell~ Hiccups are normal before Honor was born it was like clock work everyday when she would have them. Even after she is born she still has them it normal just think about it as your LO is practicing breathing that is what i got told by the OB its from.
Dory~ i know it will be hard but i dont want honor to be an only child
-
sorry for what im about to ask ladies butttttttttt
im too scared to have sex with dh :( i know it wont hurt the baby but will i be sore or bleed? i feel really sorry for him, ii mean 12 weeks with no action must be hard for him!!
-
Kellbell-Hiccups are a good sign that bub is drinking the fluid and practicing their breathing every day this last couple of weeks little miss has them and at my u/s the doc said she is a little guts and is always drinking.
And i had to have a full bladder at 32 weeks for my scan which was silly because then they made me empty it as it was pushing bub out of the way and they couldnt get a good shot i would say dont be full but dont be empty just have a normal glass half hour before you go.
Reet- my 3 boys i got mastitis really bad i was just to engorged and the bubs couldnt latch without tearing my nipples to pieces i tried expressing some off before but it made no difference i got really sick i had a rash all over my chest and temperatures i was in agony even the midwives brought me frozen cabbage leaves and a bottle of formula but this time i am taking breast shields and going to try again but i know how sick i got before so just being prepared.
And my frog was cute now it's the size of a toad lol lucky i have no stretch marks to ruin it.
And DTD while pregnant is still great but not as good we can only manage the one position and it's getting boring as everything else is just to hard or my belly is to big and the cm isnt a problem DH loves it EEWWWWW! but my boobs are so not sexual at the moment and i hate him touching them it feels really annoying if he tries to so i just distract him to down below:lol:.
Dory-God i forget to reply to some of the ladies at every post sometimes i just have nothing to add dont feel bad sometimes we just need to post without persies.
Reet-i forgot the nipple cream everyone is swearing by is lanshilo in a purple tube not the cheapest but it is suppose to be awesome and dosnt need to be removed before feeding bub.
Alish-if you have a normal healthy pregnancy then no sex will not harm your bub it is actually good for the uterus when you orgasim the uterus receives extra blood flow i have been a nympho with all my pregnancies i cant get enough of it but with this bub i have had to be gentle because of the position of the placenta but we still have sex and i have orgasims the baby is protected so as long as you have no pregnancy complications dont hold back this is a time for you and your DH to be close before bub comes and have some intimate time together and the orgasims can be more intense when pregnant a great side effect of pregnancy.
AFM-13 DAYS and counting.
-
oh my god 13 days ferrals you must be so excited!
thanks for your advice! i never knew it was good for you, well i knew it was good for you haha but not in that way!
when we had sex with the ectopic it made me bleed and be in a lot of pain! i know its not even the same things but im just a worrier thats all!
cant find the motivation to get off the couch and do my housework today, someones stupid dog barked ALL NIGHT last night and im having really intense dreams i just want to sleep all day :D brett wouldnt be impressed haha!
did any of you ladies have a bassinette for the baby when they first come home? we have a cot in the next room but im debating a bassinette?? is it worth it? im leaning more towards no but there is always that little voice saying get one!
have a great saturday everyone! yay! i love weekends! finally the weather is nice here! xoxoxox
-
Alish-like i said as long as it is a normal healthy pregnancy then its fine there are women who have m/c and blame sex or something they did to cause it but if the pregnancy is normal and healthy they will stick i have had whooping cough ,chest infection , knee surgery a really bad flu you name it i have had it during pregnancy and nothing will budge my bubs when its a normal pregnancy and then i had a pregnancy i m/c at 7 weeks with and there was no reason just wasnt ment to be.
And i have always had a bassinette or cradle for the 1st few weeks but my bubs started sleeping through the night after only a few weeks so i moved them into their cot in their own rooms not long after i have a beautiful cradle for Ella in our room i hope to get at least 6-8 weeks use out of it.
AFM-NESTING HAS HIT WITH A VENGENCE!!!!!
I have cleaned the laundry done all the washing and ironing cleaned out under the stairs cleaned the shoe rack got rid of all the shoes no one wears anymore i have even ironed a weeks worth of school uniforms for the kids i have stripped our bed and washed our sheet's cleaned out the linen cupboard cleaned the coffee machine and now i am forcing myself to have a rest before i start again.
-
just a quickie!
Reet- I got the gel breast pads from bras n things for 5bucks, bargain! If you dont have a store near you I'm happy to get some and post them for you. I dont have nipple cream yet tho, hmmm. And yes, DP is on a strict no drunkness regime lol. I said he can have a couple of beers but needs to be under the limit jic. Daily DTD? I'm worn out just thinking of it! We can't remember the last time we got it on, but luckily he's fine with it. I told him if he wants to I will but neither of us really feel sexy right now lol.
Ferrals- yay getting so close! 9 days for me omg!!! I'll check out your tummy pic as soon as my internet is up and running again.
Kellie- enjoy your scan, I didnt get a 32 week one, spewing!
Alish- go for it woman :)
AFM- having some really sharp twingey pains around the cervix type area, and peeing like a trooper! Our friends came over last night with a cake with 10 days to go on the icing :) soooo sweet!! I'm getting all edgy just waiting for things to happen, argh! Oh and my man flu seems to be easing a little bit thank goodness!
