Due in June/July/August 2016

[japes]

Mily I'm so sorry if this turns out to be boy #3. I hate that you are so upset and I've been reading along and trying to think of something remotely useful to say. It must be so hard but I do understand why you tried naturally and hoped it would work out. I hope this boy turns out to be something amazing and there is a reason for all of this. HT will be there for you when it's the right time. I had my boy then started stimming 8 months later. Big hugs to you. You will see lots of developments and learn lots more about HT in the interim.

Oh and Dreamofpink add me to the list of ppl who are very happy to hear that about Mathilde. Please pass on my regards! Congratulations to you too! Very happy for you x

[Dreamofpink]

@japes thank you very much! I shall pass on your regards too. Mathilde says she will try to get back on here and update when she can.

Three beautiful boys and my longed-for DD due in June 2016!

My doctors office just called and cancelled my anatomy scan because of the weather! Obviously they don't understand how anxious a NICU nurse is before this ultrasound:mad::sad:.

I am going to the cinema with DH tonight He had to insist several Times but I finally accepted. He's such a sweet DH💕💕 I know he's doing his best for me to get better and I Hope I Will very soon!
Thank u ladies😍

[luvmyfam]

It's icy and snowy. I rescheduled for next Tuesday. They wanted to get me in this week but I already had my schedule arranged to have it today so I had to schedule for next week. I really can't wait until winter is gone!

Mily have fun on your date night!

[missiz]

@Milybaby - I am so sorry to hear you struggling at the moment, it will get better I promise xo its lovely that your DH is trying to do things with you to make you feel better, enjoy the time with him xo

@dreamofpink - sending big congratulations to Mathilde, glad both her and bub are ok xo

I was laying in bed last night with my hand on my tummy and I thought I felt a little flutter but honestly, I cant tell if its the baby or just air in my tummy or my intestines moving around lol it will give me alot of reassurance when I finally do feel it. Hope everyone is going ok in their pregnancies, I have had some nasty hormonal headaches from transitioning to 2nd trimester, I got them in my last pregnancy too. panadol doesnt even touch the pain, it ends up making me feel quite sick :(

[hopper]

Mily I am so sorry you are going through this and feeling this way. My heart just breaks for you. I hope you can find peace, thinking of you xx

Feel better soon missiz! I too can't wait to feel baby properly, I've had some 'pops' here and there but nothing like on my previous kids but I know the reason is cause the placenta is anterior and cushioning any movement I'd be otherwise feeling. I think feeling movement makes you feel more bonded with baby so I really can't wait for it :)

Scan tomorrow ladies. In about 18 hours or so. Wish me luck! I'm pretty much ready for whatever the tech says to me. Enjoying the last few hours of the possibility of having a daughter lol - after all my moaning about wanting to give up the hope now that its here I'm hesitant but I need to know so I can just play the hand I'm dealt. Anyway, I will be sure to log back on at some stage tomorrow to tell you girls the outcome - positive vibes most kindly accepted xxx

[Dreamofpink]

Best of luck Hopper, I'll be thinking of you & checking in for an update 😀

Hi ladies! Not long back from the scan and tech confirmed it is indeed our third little Prince! I am surprisingly much more ok with it than I thought even yesterday!! He was absolutely gorgeous, especially in 3D! DH admitted he is more than a little disappointed which, honestly, made me feel worse but at least we are on the same page. So much so in fact that he said that IF I still want a fourth next year we can try again. I said that I would need to look into HT for a fourth to be an option so I might just get the info and at least have it there if we decide to go again and that another sway isn't for us (though I do think he would be more supportive in another sway attempt!) Anyway, I am good at the moment, had a small cry about an hour after the scan when I collected the boys from my mom's and she gave me what shall hereby be known as "the face" ( you know the one I'm talking about - the pity one that I just can't stand!) It's the thought of that face on my nearest and dearest that makes it harder but I'm sure over time that will matter less and less. For now I have to say I am honestly excited to meet this little man. I can't wait to hold him and cuddle him and just love him! :)

[hopper]

I'm in LOVE :) He is the image of my DS2 already!!! Hopefully not as hectic as him though lol ;)

What a cutie bum he is!!! Congratulations on your third little man :) I know it must be such a mix of emotions right now but you sound so happy and in love xx

[Fiya]

@Hopper: he's soooo beautiful in 3D. I'm glad to hear you're ok with this prince and I'm sure your hubby will be too in the end. Looks like the ladies on the nub page are really talented :) Is HT an option for your DH? Mine wouldn't agree with it, so I'm glad my sway worked. I was thinking about you all day and it's a relief to hear you're taking it pretty well. I think the nub prepared you for this news, didn't it? Why does your mom always put on her pity face? 3 healthy boys is a blessing :HH:

[yogi&booboo]

Your prince is absolutely adorable. Congratulations Hopper ♡ XOXO

So ladies, I got a big surprise today. I live in France, where it's very difficult to give birth to your little one and go home. They like to keep all women 3 to 4 days on the maternity ward. Today I had a meeting with an independant midwive to look at my options for giving birth and going home straight away. Home birth is an option, but it scares me.

And then, there exists something else... A midwive who comes with me to the hospital to give birth to my baby and she's one of the only ones who has the permission to bring me home afterwards and check on the baby. I didn't even know that existed, so I'm over the moon. The maternity ward is totally reimbursed by our social security system, but this is not. It'll cost me around 600 euros (or dollars), but I think it's worth it to have an as natural birth as possible and be with my family afterwards...

And then I saw the midwive had an ultrasound machine in her office, so I gave her my sweetest smile and asked her if she could confirm the gender for me and she was happy to do that. I finally have my potty shots :HH: She also tried to get a glimpse of her in 3D, but she was hiding. But she's sooooo cute anyways. I'm sooo happy to have this unexpected confirmation :)

Wow Fiya that's a great suprise! Love the pics and glad you got your potty shots and confirmation also x

He is precious hopper! I'm happy to hear you are doing ok. Let yourself have those tears if you need to. It's funny everyone on here says there's something very special about that 3rd boy and I work with 2 girls that both have 3 boys and they both separately said the exact same thing! I totally believe this 3rd little man of mine is meant to be. Congrats on your 3rd little prince!!:babym:

Fiya she's beautiful!! I think the idea of the midwife is definitely the best option! Congrats on the confirmation of your little girl! :XX:

AFM, I felt Isaac move from the outside today for the first time!! 3 times in a row! Then I called for DH and he felt him too!! Makes my heart happy!:awe::running:

[missiz]

boyzmommy im glad you got your confirmed shot and that its given you more reassurance :P enjoy the feeling

hopper im glad you are feeling ok about have a beautiful 3rd boy and are excited to meet him, it sounds as though he is very much loved already xx

thats great news about your options for birthing Fiya, I hope it goes well for you :) its nice that you also got a confirmation of your little girl, what a nice surprise!

luvmyfam that is awesome that you got to feel bub move!! what an exciting moment, and its so cool that DH got to feel it aswell. I know my hubby loves when he can finally feel them xo it helps us both with getting to know our little bean

I have still been feeling like crap the past few days, headaches, morning sickness coming back randomly?, feeling shaky, weak and breathless even when I'm hardly doing anything :( it sux! oh and I also have this weird aftertaste thing going on in my mouth?? has anyone else had that with their pregnancy, its a first for me and its really not helping the morning sickness. I eat something and then about 10 mins later its got this stale flavour in my throat which is just nasty... bah dont mind me and my complaining lol arent I a sook haha

[mammacass]

Luvmyfam how exciting you and your DH got to feel from the outside! Mine can't wait for that also - I'm so excited to see the look on the boys faces when they feel it move too [emoji4]

Sorry you are still feeling crappy missiz never had the taste thing myself but it's early days I suppose.

[netti02]

Congrats boyz, fiya on your dgs and congrats hopper for ds3 he is cute!!

Missiz thats been a common symptom of mine for the last 3 pregnancies and i have a hard time brushing my teeth and cant stand chewing gum or mints 😯

I had the anatomy scan today ds5 is super relaxed upside down in a rabbit style position with one arm out. Will get the pics tmro. He was too stubborn to get good shots of the heart so I need to go back in a few weeks to check otherwise right on target.

Feeling pretty good lately. Dh threw a spanner in the works though when i said something about being done with kids and he replied are we? Im having a stern word with him tonight about not pulling my heart strings 😂😂😂

Ive already thought about a sway. I wouldn't really call ds5 a sway as it was only a change of a few things and i heavily relied on my psychic being right. I would have a hard time giving up breakfast though 😐

Will catch up later. Organising and cleaning for ds4's 1st birthday tmro 😀😊💙🎉🎈

@luvmyfam: I can also feel her move on the outside, but she always kicks very low, in my underwear :) I told my mother in law and sisters in law they could feel her move next week when we go see them, but I'm not sure about them putting their hands in my underwear lol

Heheee fiya. Same here. I feel her very low. My boys were always in my ribs or on sides

Hi ladies, sorry I've been mia for a while now. My dh's brother committed suicide last month. It's been a very trying time for the family. My poor MIL found him so she's been needing a lot of support.

I hope you and your bubs are all doing well. I'm 17 weeks today and recently started feeling bub move. It's so sweet!

[mammacass]

Oh violet I'm so sorry to read this, it must be a very traumatic time, I hope you and your family will be ok sending lots of love xx

I think my 2 little ones may have chicken pox though. At first I thought it was mosquito bites but they are actually little fluid filled pimples. The thing is they had them last week and seem like they just got another batch this week but theres not very many on there body you could practically count them. They haven't really been unwell or with fever and ds4 is teething atm too. (both are up to date with immunisations). I haven't got any myself but ive done abit of reading and it doesn't seem too much of a concern atm. I am going to take them to the drs tmro just so they can have a check up.

Alright gals, how many of you have started your nurseries yet? I am too lazy to even think of a theme since im sleepy 98% of my day but i want to get on it sooner than later.

On another note, I had a past three days full of surprises. My dh's gay cousin announced she was expecting with her 3rd son and she was acting like a child seeking attention. She wanted to be the star of the shower and kept being snotty to many family members. She even said that since she can't conceive a girl, she is going to pray one turns out gay so she can get her nails done with him. My jaw dropped when my MIL told me the gossip. Not agains peoples sexuality but that is something that would not come out of my mouth if I had recently had a miscarriage and experiencng many complications with her pregnancy this time around. Her oldest is 17 and she is 40 years old. Her brothers wife's baby shower was yesterday (which is when I saw her gay cousin) and her water broke in the morning so she missed out on her shower. She finally delivered today. It was too much to take in but me and thr dh stayed on the low and said the least since we know his whole family is weird and nosy.

I also wanted to know how many are you gals ok with people rubbing your belly. I cant stand anyone other than my kids or dh touch me. I feel weird but I really hate it :/

[hopper]

@Fiya DH and I have spoken about HT since having the scan and have decided that most likely it is not for us. I would go with it if we could get the finances together quickly enough but DH really feels negatively about it and I don't want to force his hand, even though I know I could. I think pushing him into something he doesn't want would be the beginning of the end of our marriage and despite my desire for a daughter risking our family's future happiness isn't worth it :)
The pity face isn't just my mom, its the face I know a lot of people will make when we eventually tell them we are having a third boy. I got it a LOT on DS2. We were so happy coming back from the anatomy scan and couldn't wait to tell people and then 24 hours later when we had told most family and friends I was regretting the decision to say anything cause they said/did things that really took the shine off my happiness. I can only imagine how they will react to another boy. My SIL had her third boy last year and she took it very bad, the comments she got (mostly from my inlaws) were very hurtful and I don't need them to be directed at me. So we will not be sharing our news for now, not until I am able to deal with their views on top of my own personal feelings x
Also your princess is looking so cute! Great that you got the potty shots you needed hun, delighted for you :)

@mammacass/mommymachine/luvmyfam - Thank you ladies!!! Those words really truly help! I truly feel there is something special about him already. I have seen quite a lot on here that the third son is very special and I really feel it in my heart this little man will go a long way towards healing me. Maybe thats what I need - a little boy to heal my GD for a girl. XX's words really resonate with me - that we get the child we NEED! I obviously need this little man! :)

@mily thank you hun, I hope you are doing ok. I've been thinking of you xxx

@violet I am so sorry to hear of your struggles at the moment! Sending healing thoughts xx

@netti your DS4 is ADORABLE!! Glad you had a good day! Hope your other boys are ok, chicken pox aren't nice from what I remember x

@yogi no nursery going on in this house at all this time :( We are looking at purchasing a new house so theres no point in making up one here. The room I used for the boys is fine and just needs a clear out, though I reckon by the time this little man arrives we will be getting close to moving. Your DHs gay cousin definitely sounds a bit strange!! Hoping a son turns out to be gay so she can get her nails done with him?!?! Weird!! I wish my boys happiness whoever they find that with be it male or female but I wouldn't say stupid stuff like that. Sounds like she likes saying stuff for shock value! On the topic of people touching my bump - nope. I don't allow it. I don't mind if someone asks and gives me the option to say I'm uncomfortable with them mauling my belly but if they just presume they can touch me I get really angry. I might invite someone to have a feel if baby is kicking enough for them to feel but only if its someone I am super comfortable with.

[hopper]

Thank you so much ladies for your support on this entire journey, I know I surely drove more than one of you mental over the past while with my obsessing and especially nubsessing lol so thank you for putting up with me xxxxxx

I am actually more than ok with our third little man, I feel so much more at peace than I ever thought I would. I am SO impatient to have him be here in my arms but at the same time I don't want to share him lol. I feel so bonded with him already - definitely helped by the fact that he is moving so much the last couple of days as if to say "I'm excited you know its ME mama!" Also DH and DS1 got to feel him move for the first time yesterday. I'm so happy the placenta has moved out of the way, he's definitely all boy with this crazy activity going on lol.

We will revisit a fourth child, possibly through swaying next year. I will be turning 34 the week this little dude is due so I wouldn't want to wait too much longer especially with the history of Downs Syndrome in my DHs family, if we could get pregnant before my 35th birthday it would be ideal, thats IF we decide to go for a 4th.
I have an unfilled prescription for 6 months of Clomid 50mg and I think if I dropped couch potato and did the cardio it would make my sway stronger. I also think I would need to be on the diet less time, 30 weeks was too long and I wavered/cheated way too much at the end. I was much stronger in the first 10 weeks, even the first 20 lol. I need to look into it more to see what would be the odds of successfully swaying for a girl as a 4th child with these tactics. Anything I read online before now has said the odds of having a girl after 3 boys is close to 60/40 in favour of a fourth boy...not the best odds!
DH also made a valid point yesterday. He said that we were actively trying for all 3 of our boys, maybe we just need to drop the trying and wait for an "accident" to happen. In a way I see where he's coming from. A lot of daughers that our friends/family have are as a result of a drunken night or a missed BC pill. I probably get so "Martha" when actively ttc that it undoes all my pink effort and sways blue lol. He did say that was the way we should have approached both a second and third pregnancy and I didn't listen to him either time so maybe its time to just give up and let go. I don't know if I even WANT to have a 4th child but its great to know the door is open IF we decide to use it! :)

[Bluebooties]

Netti ... could not help but admire ur LO's picture.
I read ur post. U can aquire chicken pox during pregnancy leading to fetal varicella syndrome. Even if u have had chicken pox b4 it never hurts to talk to ur doctor. They can give post exposure prophylaxis

Hopper Super glad I am not alone and we are very much a like in all aspects. Im not comfortable with the belly rubbing unless they are someone super close. Yes Dh's family is nuts for sure, this is why I stay away as much as possible. I felt really happy with my third daughter after I found out. It was harder with my first and second but with my third I definitely accepted it with open arms. In the past i usually only bought gender neutral colors with the hope that the ultrasounds would be wrong since I never got a 100% girl gender. With my Zowie (Zoe)[emoji14]we spelled it different, I said I would go all pink if she was a girl. This time around I had already accepted a girl after i knew the sway was not 100% and I even had a name if it was my last girl. I think i was more focused in mentally preparing everyone else lol. Maybe my loose sway helped a little. I pray lots of health for you and your baby boy and that you that have a marvelous sway next time around and that you get your baby girl ♡

[mammacass]

Glad to hear the party went well Netti [emoji322] hoping the boys are better soon x

Yogi I would love to start our little girls room but we aren't sharing the gender, only DH and I know so have to wait! [emoji4]

Oh Hopper I know the pity face well, and the comments, and I'm sorry you are facing that. The best advice I could give is to not share gender? No one would dare comment once you have that beautiful little babe in your arms and if they do then hell hath no fury like that of a new mummy!
And hopper you have not drove us mental at all lol it has been great sharing this journey with you. You do sound very much at peace and if you do decide to sway again I wish you all the pink luck in the world xx I'm not sure the stats for a 4th are too bad - although I certainly felt going into this I probably only had a very sml chance of getting my girl. On In gender it says the chance of a girl after 3 boys is around 43.6% however I have read elsewhere that the probability of having 4 of the same gender is only something like 12.5%. But absoloutely even just in my area I have been noticing quite a few 4 boy families so who knows lol

[TaytumJ]

Violet: lots of love and prayers for you and DH's family. I couldn't imagine. ❤️

Netti: ds4 is so adorable!! I devour cupcakes too...we have that in common. [emoji6]

Yogi: we only have the walls painted (grey and white stripes). We're getting new carpet on Monday so after that we'll really be able to decorate and put up the crib, dresser and everything else! That's also really sad about your DH's gay cousin. I have some really great gay friends, but they would tell anyone that they wouldn't wish the discrimination and hate they feel on anyone else. So for her to wish for that...so sad. You'd think she'd also understand the struggle and not want her sons to experience it.

Oddly enough, I don't mind at all if strangers rub as long as they ASK first. It bugs me more that family just think they have a free pass to rub and touch when they want and that bothers me more. (Besides DH...he can do whatever he wants! [emoji12])

Hopper: so happy you are in love with your little man already!! I got teary eyed when you made the comment about little man wanting you to know it's him! So sweet! [emoji170]

We went to a birth class today with other new parents and that was fun...and interesting! I hope no one burns me at the stake, but I'm 99.9% positive I'm getting an epidural. I don't have that just real need to do it naturally. But, crazy enough, the only thing that scared me was the vaginal catheter they put in! Will they pull that out after the epidural wears off? Sounds like the most painful! [emoji51] Also, I think my baby is now traverse - I feel all sorts of movement on the right side of my stomach (not sure if it's feet or hiccups/hands?).

But it made us both excited for little one to get here!

Thats awesome Taytum! That's way more progress than me. My old cribs are sitting in my garage. I have been trying to bargain shop for a changing table. So far I have gotten great deals on a bassinet brand new for a few bucks and I just bought a car seat for a few bucks too. I really have to stop shopping to see what the showe will bring[emoji14]
I have only had one pregnancy where I felt some contractions I only remember having a catheter when I was taken in for my csection. They are super uncomfortable hut it was removed as soon as I was out of surgery..are you talking about the ones they put in your uterus to monitor contractions? I think those stay in until it comes out with the baby but if you get the epidural chances are you wont feel it or when it comes out :)

I really want to take a nursing class. I feel very strong about breastfeeding this time around and I want to make sure i do everything possible to get it right this time since I gave up with my 2nd and 3rd daughter because it was so painful. I also bought a medela pump so when its time to go back to work ill be prepared ♡

[mommymachine]

Yes Taytum, they will pull the catheter out after the epidural wears off. (At least they did with me)! It's not awful, just uncomfortable. I've had 3 epidurals so no judgment from me!!


Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!

[missiz]

Violet Im sorry to hear about the sad news in your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you atm xox

as far as people touching my belly, I dont really mind all that much but I have had a total stranger come up to me and that felt terribly awkward and intrusive!!! I think its fine when my family (sisters, mum, dad, aunty etc) touch my belly as i feel its their way of bonding with our little bean :)

@Taytum - I had a catheter in when I had my c-section with Eli and just like mommymachine said, it wasnt awful, just a bit uncomfortable for a second or two (TMI but the closest thing you could compare it to is pulling out a tampon? sorry lol tmi). In the whole process of giving birth, it was the very least of my worries as far as pain/discomfort lol and I also had an epidural with my first labour, it was a lifesaver as it allowed me to rest before I started pushing. You do whatever you need to, to cope with your birth experience, I think regardless of what drugs you have, natural birth makes any mum a super star.. its damn hard to do and I know i felt a certain amount of accomplishment at being able to do it. Also, nothing against anyone who chooses not to have a natural birth, I had to have a c-section with my 2nd for a couple of medical reasons I couldnt avoid.

[Violet Winter]

Thank you so much ladies for thoughts and prayers.

It looks like I have missed out on a lot.
Netti DS4 is a cutie, I hope the kiddies get better soon.
I'm not a huge fan of ppl touching my belly either. Makes me feel like a dog. Lol
Taytum I had an epidural with ds1 only because it was such a drawn out labour (34hrs!). I don't really remember feeling pain when the catheter was removed just a little uncomfortable. With ds2 he came so quickly that there was no time for the epidural. Ds2 labour I felt so proud of myself, I remember saying to dh the moment ds was born "I did it!" Not sure if I'll choose to have the epidural this time or not. One thing I learnt after ds1 labour is nothing ever goes as planned. Be prepared for anything and do what you feel is best. In the end all that matters is those very first cuddles with your baby. :happy:

[hopper]

Hopper Super glad I am not alone and we are very much a like in all aspects. Im not comfortable with the belly rubbing unless they are someone super close. Yes Dh's family is nuts for sure, this is why I stay away as much as possible. I felt really happy with my third daughter after I found out. It was harder with my first and second but with my third I definitely accepted it with open arms. In the past i usually only bought gender neutral colors with the hope that the ultrasounds would be wrong since I never got a 100% girl gender. With my Zowie (Zoe)[emoji14]we spelled it different, I said I would go all pink if she was a girl. This time around I had already accepted a girl after i knew the sway was not 100% and I even had a name if it was my last girl. I think i was more focused in mentally preparing everyone else lol. Maybe my loose sway helped a little. I pray lots of health for you and your baby boy and that you that have a marvelous sway next time around and that you get your baby girl ♡

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Its funny how accepting I am this time, seems to be the running theme for moms who have their third of the same gender. I wasn't super upset on DS2 as I just knew in my heart he was a he but on DS1 (as bad as it is to say when he was my first child and I really shouldn't have had a preference either way) we were team yellow so the absolute shock and sadness I felt when he was born still haunt me. I don't ever want to feel that way again. I think that might be some of the reason why I am so accepting and welcoming of this third little boy, I am so aware of NOT wanting to feel like that again and having to carry that guilt around for the rest of my life. I am going ALL out on boy stuff this time, I have bought some bits and bobs already and am really excited about it all. I never experienced that on my first two. I have a pink sleepsuit that I bought on DS1, I allowed myself one item in pink and one in blue and the rest was neutral. DS1 got the blue one and I have kept the pink one since, its under my pillow every night since then. I think I need to give it away and just let it go. I haven't yet but maybe it would be more healing, and definitely more healthy, to get rid of the things that make me think what-if.
Thank you for your best wishes in my potential future sway :) Enjoy your little man hun, boys are just wonderful (and boy, oh boy do they love their mommy!!) xxx

[hopper]

Glad to hear the party went well Netti [emoji322] hoping the boys are better soon x

Yogi I would love to start our little girls room but we aren't sharing the gender, only DH and I know so have to wait! [emoji4]

Oh Hopper I know the pity face well, and the comments, and I'm sorry you are facing that. The best advice I could give is to not share gender? No one would dare comment once you have that beautiful little babe in your arms and if they do then hell hath no fury like that of a new mummy!
And hopper you have not drove us mental at all lol it has been great sharing this journey with you. You do sound very much at peace and if you do decide to sway again I wish you all the pink luck in the world xx I'm not sure the stats for a 4th are too bad - although I certainly felt going into this I probably only had a very sml chance of getting my girl. On In gender it says the chance of a girl after 3 boys is around 43.6% however I have read elsewhere that the probability of having 4 of the same gender is only something like 12.5%. But absoloutely even just in my area I have been noticing quite a few 4 boy families so who knows lol

Thank you hun :) I think that for now at least we won't be sharing our news. If we choose to share it all over before delivery! I'm useless with secrets so really hoping I don't let it slip!!
And thank you for the reassurance that I wasn't driving you mad! I'll take that pink luck you are sending me and run with it ;) It would be a dream come true to join the "fourth child is pink" club ;) I was looking at those stats on IG and they are very discouraging. I think I also read the other one you mention, can't remember where. I know lots of same gender families (4+) and the only ones I see with their fourth being an opposite is online. I'll definitely look into it more though!! Its lovely to have the door left open though when DH was so adamant this little one was our last :)

[TaytumJ]

Thanks for the info, ladies!! The only person I had to ask was DH when he had back surgery and he said it was SOOO painful. [emoji849] Maybe it is for guys, but you're all right, I'm sure compared to the rest of labor it's a minor worry.

I'm definitely going in with an open mind. If I have to have an unplanned c-section, that's okay too. Just going in with the idea that at the end of the day, I just want a healthy baby out of me, whatever needs to happen!


Team green baby due May 21! [emoji170][emoji166]

[luvmyfam]

Violet I'm so sorry to hear you and DH's family are going through this. My thoughts are with you and your family!

I did get an epidural for both boys but I was induced at 41 weeks and pitocin is the devil😈. My first induction they ended up disconnecting it several hours before I delivered due to an emergency so unfortunately I had to deliver him with no pain control and pit at highest dose:sigh:. But with DS 2 my induction went well and I got my epidural right after my water broke and it was amazing! I didn't have a catheter.

I also drank Raspberry leaf tea through my 2nd and 3rd trimesters with him which is supposed to help the pushing stage of labor and I barely had to push him out. They kept telling me to stop pushing so they could get the doctor in the room and ready to catch and he was out in less than 5 min with me trying not to push!

We are thinking about trying again too hopper! Maybe we can sway together!

[yogi&booboo]

Thanks ladies! I am glad I am not alone :) I have contemplated buying a no belly rub tshirt but I feel I would be the rudest person in the world. I'll just suck it up and hope random people wont come and rub my belly without asking.

Thank you Hopper ♡ I agree amd i think that you will never have those feelings again because you have a big heart. Bug hugs to you.

Lol Taytum why did I think a catheter down there[emoji14]
I had an epdirual with my first with a catheter and a spinal block with my 2nd, 3rd, and probably with my 4th, no catheters. All have pain, and the extent of the pain depends on your pain tolerance. Once your numb you wont even feel it in there ♡ I had a 5 day headache from my last and was told I needed a second spinal for it to go away. Never knew it was a side effect but I got through it without the 2nd one. Good luck and I hope you have a smooth and as painless possible epdirual.

Lol luvmyfam your DS2 sounds like he was in a right rush! My DS2 was the EXACT same. I was induced at 41 weeks by ARM as I was already 2-3cm, 30 minutes later I was pushing and couldn't stop my body lol. He was out in about 3 pushes even though I was actually fighting to stop pushing cause the midwives in the room didn't realise it had all happened so fast!

Yay it would be wonderful to plan a future sway with you :) I reckon if we are trying again it will be sometime before May 2017, I'm counting on having babies closer together to add more pinkness lol. I'm currently not sure if I will even want to have any more but at the same time I'd like to be ready mentally if we decide its full steam ahead once little man arrives.

[luvmyfam]

Does having them closer together sway pink?

[mommymachine]

Does having them closer together sway pink?

Yes. I forget completely why though. Something about maternal condition.

Hi ladies,

@Violetwinter: I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I hope your DH, MIL and their family are dealing as good as they possibly can. It must be so hard to lose someone you care about knowing they didn't want to live any longer :( It makes me so sad. Luckily, you feel your little one move so you can think about something else from time to time. Sending you lots of hugs.

@Mamacass: I've looked into it for the dress, but they only ship to the UK :( But in the end, it's just a dress, so I'll just buy another one :)

@Netti: great the party went well. That's the cutest picture :HH:

@yogi&booboo: I've started the nursery about a week ago. We moved the furniture in the room, but we still have to paint the walls, so a lot of work still but I'm starting to picture her little room in my head. I work with colour themes instead of animal or other themes. My boys room is deep blue and lemon green. I'll post a picture once we're finished. My girls room will be soft pink, yellow and apple blue sea green (in pastel version). You'll find a theme for your little men, I'm sure. Now there's so many nice decoration items for sale online. I wish there weren't so many online shops, because they ruin me financially :bigsmile:

@Hopper: such wonderful words coming out of your mouth about your DS3. He's lucky and blessed to have such an amazing mum who loves him sooo much already. And about the swaying, I think the controlling factor actually plays a huge part in it. I also have a very controlling personality, but for some reason, I let go during my sway. I don't even know how I managed, but I did LE diet without any cheats and I never stressed about what to eat because I got used to it. I didn't stress about having a girl at that time either, because I was convinced I did the best I could. So maybe your DH is right and you have to let go a bit more. The control freak in me totally came back since then though, the wait until the gender scan was horrible and my DH is suffering a lot from my impatience to start decorating the nursery :running:

@Taytum: I was induced for my first and luvmyfam is right about cytocin being the devil. I didn't want an epidural, but it was inevitable. The induction took ages and I suffered a lot of pain because I was completely exhausted. With my second one, I had a different mindset and wanted the least medical intervention possible and I succeeded to push him out without an epidural. It was the most beautiful experience of my live actually. BUT this is you first, so if you're comfortable with an epidural, just go for it. A healthy baby is really all that counts in the end. And once you've pushed one out, another one will come more easily, so maybe you can try again without an epidural for a future brother or sister :)

Here, everything is just fine. Little lady moves a lot and I feel a bit less tired and nauseous, so that's a good thing. Tomorrow we're taking an 8 hour train trip to go see my family in law, so I'll be a little less online, but I'll be back the 1st of March. And I'll probably read in the meantime anyway :)

[netti02]

This is my third baby close together (all bubs were under one year) and still all boys 😂😂😂 im going to talk to dh about trying one more time and give the diet and cardio skipping breakfast a decent try.

Taytum i haven't had an epidural always begged for one but thats cause i was so close to pushing. I must admit id rather the pain than a needle in my spine but everyone's different.

I have my fisrt antenatal appmnt with the hospital this Thursday but hoping to do shared care.

I just emailed all the ladies in my pre-natal class group from back in 2010 when I was pregnant with my first son Zeek, we stayed in touch and had our 2nd children together aswell :P but apparently I am the first one to have a 3rd child!! gahhh never would have thought when I first started chatting to those ladies, that 5 years would have passed and we'd still be great friends xx

[Boyzmommy]

Ladies i have a question. I m having fever from couple of days. Is 100c is dangerous in pregnancy?


Mom to two princes
Princess in belly

[TaytumJ]

Boyzmommy - I'm no expert, but 100 Celsius converts to 212 Fahrenheit! [emoji15] Did you mean 100F? If so, I would probably just take some Tylenol and drink plenty of fluids and rest. My doc said anything over 102F to go in, but anything under to try to lower it and take care of yourself. Hope you're feeling better!

My BFF had her baby girl yesterday. [emoji7][emoji171] She is absolutely beautiful! It was her first and she was a week overdue so they induced her. I really hope my labor goes better than hers did though - yikes!! She pushed for three hours, that just seems like a lot to me!

She also said getting her epidural was so painful! She said she bawled and could feel the needle between her bones?? This doesn't seem right to me - I thought they would numb the area first. Does this sound right to anyone else?!

If you have had a fever for a few days, you may want to go to the Hospital. Its very dangerous during pregnancy. These are the instructions I am always given at the end my visits. Hope it helps and wishing you a speedy recovery ♡

Taytum Congrats to your BFF. Its normal to push for that long and longer for sunny side up babies. Did her baby come out sunny side up?

I was never numbed with any of mine. I am sure you can ask before they do it and you should express your concerns to the amesthesiologist before she/he does anything to you.

Re sunny side up - I have had one of those and was amazed with my experience as I have only ever read that they are more painful and longer pushing etc. I had no pain until pushing stage and pushing didn't last all that long either [emoji2]

[TaytumJ]

Thanks ladies! What does sunny side up mean exactly? Back-to-back? I'm not really sure how baby came out...I'll have to ask her when I talk to her next! She said she tore too so possibly?

Means face up so yes back to back - they usually come out face down :) tearing can happen with any type of delivery though :)

Congrats poptart! I can't wait to see your sway. Do you think your success might have been related to your thyroid? I'm starting to see a trend in my friends and I'm curious to see if it pans out

No I don't, as I had 2 boys before I honestly feel the sway did it as I was totally boy previously without knowing it! Xx

Congrats and welcome panther! :)

You poor thing Boyz. I hope you get better real soon. x

Feeling bub's movements getting stronger everday and dh and I finally agreeing on a name has gotten me excited about meeting our little man. I have a scan in 3 weeks and I can't wait to see him. :)

[hopper]

Flying visit ladies, haven't had time to keep up at all lately! Just wanted to say MASSIVE congrats poptart! I am absolutely over the blinkin moon for you!!!! Enjoy the pink :)

Taytum I ADORE your silhouette shot!!! I really must try do something like that, I feel this little man has been massively neglected compared to his brothers!!

Luvmyfam your bump is gorgeous! Can't believe you are over halfway there!!! :)

Welcome panther, congrats on your girl x

Has2 wishing you all the very best of luck at your sono! xx

As for me I've pretty much decided that we will give it another blast unless I feel different after the little man arrives. I am so thrilled he is on his way and healthy (having received bad news over the past two days about babies of two close friends its just re-enforced that feeling of luckiness that all going well DS3 will be perfect like his older brothers) but I think we will probably try again at some point next year once DS3 is at minimum 6 months old but no more than 12 months so if it happens in that time frame then we will be delighted to add a fourth, final and hopefully female child to the family (say that fast 10 times haha!) I'd be aiming for a similar sway to what I did this time except to add in cardio and aim to be on a less strict LE for a LOT less time thus inviting less opportunities to cheat (30 weeks on LE is just not feasible for me again! I started off veggie for 8 weeks and then slowly slipped) Also I have the Clomid the cons prescribed so I'd probably throw that in there. It's all theory at the minute, maybe I'll feel complete once DS3 arrives. Some days I feel content at the idea of a single gender family and being the only princess in the castle, then theres other days where I feel a big gaping hole where my daughter 'should' be. I dunno, maybe over time that will go away. A girl can hope lol x

Im thinking about one more try too hopper. I need to eat better as it is so working on that now and adding in exercise to lose some weight that has crept on. I found when i was a smaller weight my cycles were more 28 days then changed from 28 to 35. But ill be more sway aimed 3-4 months before attempt (im thinking August next year as these last 3 pregnancies have been close together).

Ive been reading through sways and its amazing how boy friendly i am 😐 the only thing i need to gather info on is the diet limits and what foods to avoid.

Congrats poptart.

My little boy has been on the move the last week. He's a squirmer now 😂😂

Hope you are all well.

Hopper I could have written your post. I really feel that we will try again unless we feel like we are drowning with DS 3. Im thinking maybe sept 2017 at the earliest. That would mean if we conceived right away that the 4th baby would be born a month before DS 3's 2nd birthday. I've never had babies that close and it scares me a little. So may push back until aug/sept 2018. Time will tell. I just can't see myself ever having a daughter or hearing "girl" so I wonder if that means I won't.

[Boyzmommy]

Luvmyfam i had the same feeling tht i could never hear. Its a girl. But dont loose hope hun. Its definitely possible

Is thyroid stuff SUPPOSED to sway any particular way? Expecting a girl and I have no thyroid (thoughI was being very closely monitored and treated prior to conception) -- hoping it doesn't have any negative impact on blue :(

Congrats on your good news though!!

[netti02]

I have no idea about thyroid if it sways or not.

Speaking of swaying i tried so hard not snacking today and it is soooooo hard. I ended up pigging out on some easter eggs that were in special 😯😯😯 im practising looking at food labels too which is an eye opener.

My eldest two are 23 months apart and it was a perfect age gap. DS2 and DS3 will be 2.5 years apart so I've never had a smaller gap but I think I like the idea of it. We had aimed on ttc #3 sooner and having around an 18 month gap but it didn't work out that way in the end. Hopefully on #4 it will ;) I think if we conceived when DS3 was 7 months (best laid plans eh lol) we'd have a December baby which I would actually love but might have a hard time convincing DH lol! I'd like to conceive before my 35th birthday which is next summer, 2017 though I suppose it will also depend on how long I BF for this time. I don't want to cut it short in an effort to ttc because I genuinely enjoy the closeness.

You'll be a pro when it comes time to sway netti ;) Its definitely easier to switch than I thought though I really would say don't go full on LE until you are closer to attempting. It is miles harder to maintain weight loss than to actually achieve it IMO. What's the age gap between your boys hun? x

[Fiya]

Hi ladies,

I'm back :running: We went to Paris for a week to see my family in law and we had a great time. We have 6 nieces and nephews we don't see often, so we enjoyed our time with them a lot! My mother in law, sister in law and niece felt the baby move and we got several suggestions for the name. Everyone likes to tell us which names they like, but in the end, she'll get the name we like so I don't even know why they bother telling us :rofl:

@Luvmyfam: great your anatomy scan went well and what a lovely picture of your little men. Your belly looks so cute. Mine is a lot bigger than yours I think. I'll post a photo right after this post.

@Taytum: that picture is amazing!!! You should do 2 more like that and then you could make a beautiful wall composition to remember your pregnancy by. Just an idea :)

@Poptart: huge congrats on your little princess :XX:

@Milybaby: Looks like a boy to me :) How are you since finding out you're having a thirth little man? I've been thinking about you a lot.

@Yogi: I think you'll be in disbelief until you'll have him in your arms, just like me. I've been told girl 3 times now, but I still have to say it out loud to believe it. It's so unreal!!!

@Boyzmommy: I hope you're feeling better. What big stuff do you need for your little princess? I only need some less expensive things so I've started decorating her room first and buying her wayyyyy to many clothes.

@Netti, hopper & luvmyfam: I'm glad you ladies are going to try one more time for a princess and I'm sending you all the pink dust in the world. I'm convinced swaying did it for me because I was just sooo boyfriendly before the sway. When I tell someone, they think I'm nuts, but i let them think whatever they want... I'm already looking forward to your pregnancy anouncements next year :) But first a healthy bub this year of course! And Netti, I must agree with hopper to wait to do LE until you're starting your sway, because it's hard! I was so depressed at the end when I conceived and was thinking about food all day :)

[Fiya]

Belly shot at 20w5d. I really think time flies...

Thanks ladies. Just trying to limit my snacking as i believe thats where all those extra kilos are from.

Thank you Fiya😍 That's So kind of you. I am feeling much better and just love this baby so much💕 Think There was a confusion in My mind about misscarriaging a girl and this Baby and It was really hard to go ahead at first but now planning My HT Journey again lol 😉

I would like to say that I had quite a hard sway with personnalized plan and that It didn't work... LE diet No snacking at all skip breakfast every day Clomid couch potatoe and olive Leaf for DH + every 4 days!

So I think I would not sway naturally again. The 4th is HT or nothing. I think I could feel complete with My 3 boys👍🏽 I Will see how I feel after birth and if I really want a 4th child?

Very Nice bump for you 👍🏽😍

Xxx

[hopper]

Gorgeous bump Fiya!! Love the suggestions for names from family members, we have been inundated with girl ones and have to say I'm laughing at how convinced pretty much everyone is that this is a girl. I'm enjoying my secret ;) We have him named already though - I shall share the name at a later stage though :) My favourite girls names are Lily and Emilia. DH dislikes both but I'm sure if we were to be blessed with a daughter I could talk him round :P

Mily I am so glad you are in a better place now :) Its very hard to hear the opposite when you had your hopes pinned on a girl but I think personally despite the heartache it's just been easier to embrace it than to overthink it (which I usually do with everything lol!) I also had a very hard sway, very similar to yours except I didn't have Clomid. I think for me the main reason I may have unintentionally swayed blue was not being able to let go. If I had started LE later and been less "Martha" about how I had put so much into my sway and was facing a time limit (self imposed) I think things may have worked out differently but as we say around these parts - what's meant for you won't pass you! So these third boys of ours are just destined for us :) I would LOVE to feel completed once he's born and all idea of having another put out of my mind but right now I don't see that happening. Hopefully it will be different once he's here!!

Oh yeah limiting snacking netti is definitely key to keeping weight gain to a minimum - I am so boy friendly right now lol. Constant snacking and no consistent meals! I really like your age gaps hun, I could be looking for advice on dealing with a 15 month age gap all going well! If we were to start trying this time next year DS3 would be about 6-7 months old depending on when he decides to arrive!! A friend of mine has 15 months between her girls and she says she wishes she had kept to the smaller gap for her third child cause it was just easier to keep going while already having one in 'baby more's lol. I love hearing different perspectives on it :)

Oh and speaking of movement - I felt DS3 hiccup for the first time this evening!!! So freaking cute!! DS1 felt him too :) Also my first "embrace the blue" buys arrived today! I also bought new clothes for DS1 and DS2. DS2 couldn't have cared less lol but DS1 was SO involved in wanting to unpack DS3s sleepsuits etc. He held one of the sleepsuits in his arms as if it were a baby and started singing an old Irish tune to it and then gently laid it down on a cushion and told me the baby was sleeping so to be quiet! My heart literally melted into a puddle!! :)

[yogi&booboo]

I got my results back from my doctor and they said my hemoglobin was at an 11. She just said to keep taking my prenatal. But when I looked it up on my chart it says normal range is 12-16. Should I be taking iron supplements? Any other ladies with experience?

Hello everyone!!!! Sorry it has been soooo long since I have been on, hope you are all doing well! We are all good, i had my 20 week scan a couple of weeks ago and everything is looking fine, they had a good look at his lips and heart as those are the two areas most commonly negatively affected by the zofran I had to take and all is looking ok. What a relief!!!

Mommy, what an absolute cutie your little one is!!!

Taytum - I had very low iron in first pregnancy and ended up having to take liquid iron each day (yuck!!!). For the last two pregnancies I have taken something called floradix from the start (a kind of gentle iron supplement) and my levels have stayed fine, so I don't think it hurts to top up a bit. How are you feeling? That is the main thing. I don't think having levels on the low side is a prob for bub, but if you are feeling tired and lightheaded etc it might be worth taking something extra? I felt soooo much better as soon as I had the iron, I hadn't realised how knackered I was until I took it!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[TaytumJ]

I actually haven't felt much different (other than a baby in my right rib! [emoji30]). I went to bed early the other night and I've been sleeping pretty soundly. No lightheaded or headaches and I don't think any more tired than my crazy week/3rd trimester has allowed. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't depriving baby of nutrients!

Mommymachine what a beautiful photo!!

I have my 20 wk scan in 2 weeks. I saw the hospital doctor today and she told me that I'm anemic! Normal feritin levels are 15-180. Mine was 6!! I'm in shock too Taytum because I've been taking my pre natals and feel fine. She told me to increase my iron but if it hasn't improved by 28 weeks I'll need a blood transfusion. Has anyone ever had a transfusion during pregnancy?

[Boyzmommy]

@mamacass i didnt do anything extra to update. 🤔

@fiya looking forward for a pic from anatomy scan. Hope everything is ok
@taytum my feritin level was at 7 n i started taking feramax but was not too regular.
My hemoglobin is low again in recent test yesterday. Dr started me on 300 mg iron[emoji37]
@foxcubblue good to hear bub is doing fine

Taytum I think most iron deficiencies can be corrected with iron suppliments. I'm guessing maybe that's why your doctor didn't seem too concerned. I'm hoping mine will improve with the suppliments because the last thing I want is bub to suffer and I don't want a transfusion. :(

I wonder what Your vitamine b12 lvls are.
The course for keeping iron lvls high here are three things,
Iron ofcourse, higher doses of folic acid and vitamine b12 injections.

[hopper]

@mommymachine - your baby girl is just GORGEOUS!!! What an absolutely fabulous picture to have, oh I'd say it has made you even more impatient to hold her :) I'm so wishing 3D scans were not a ridiculous price in this country, I'd love to have a more "fleshed out" picture of our little man!

@Taytum I have anaemia and am on an iron supplement long term (well honestly I've had to stop the past 7-10 ish days as it can become very hard on your system over time, I'll start back again in a couple of days) My latest pregnancy levels were at 10.8 I think and they said they were too low for this stage of pregnancy (but considering they were under 9 pre pregnancy I'm thinking I'm doing pretty ok!) and they will continue to get lower as the pregnancy progresses. Baby will not suffer through my low iron levels, it is just me that suffers through tiredness but the big downside can be excessive blood loss at delivery (luckily I've never been excessive and not needed a transfusion) If you are worried about your levels and want to slowly increase them maybe start an iron supp every second day, just ensure you get getting enough fibre to avoid constipation ;)

Ladies anyone notice an increase in back ache/bump ache around this stage (18+ weeks)? Is there a growth spurt coming up or anything? I just feel so uncomfortable the last 2-3 days with aches and pains everywhere. I'm really tired all the time too!!

[TaytumJ]

Good idea hopper! Maybe I'll ask at my next appointment. Perhaps since I was 28+2 at time of draw and got an 11 they felt that was fine? I'll definitely double check!

I keep waking up on my back [emoji51] And then it's so sore! Also had a dream I gave birth early and it was a little girl with lots of dark hair! Dreams can make you crazy.

Panther I have hypothyroidism and I have 2 boys and another on the way! I've been on synthroid for 9 years now.

Hopper and netti, that's nice to know you liked that age gap. Did you think it was hard being pregnant with a 1 year old?

Mommymachine she is precious!! Such as great clear pic of her! I've got my 4D ultrasound in April and I really hope I get a great shot like that!

I've been having some heartburn and Ocular migraines. I had the Ocular migraines with my last pregnancy too. Other than that I can't complain. I feel my little guy more and more each day and even with an anterior placenta I saw my belly move today when he was kicking 💙! I also felt him having the hiccups today! I absolutely love feeling him move around!

My oldest is going to be 7 in April! He's so excited for his birthday and we are planning his party. They don't't know it yet, but we also got tickets to take them to a monster truck show in the beginning of April!! DH and I are so excited to tell them!!

Also, any baby wearing mommys here? I am looking at some because I think it will be nice to have with his 2 older brothers not really needind a stroller unless we go somewhere for a whole day. I know I want to get a tula carrier and I'm also looking at the girasol ring slings.

Hope everyone is doing well!

[Dreamofpink]

Sorry I've been MIA for so long.
Luvmyfam - yes I babywear & love it. I only got into it with ds3. I have a Fire Spiral woven wrap, Lenny Lamb ring sling and a toddler buckles Onbu which is great for wearing ds3 on my back without a strap getting in the way of my bump. I'm looking for a shorter woven so that I can wear this baby from birth as I don't particularly want to buy another stretchy. I gave mine to my sister as she's just had her baby this week and it has a fleece panel sewn in - useless for a June baby! Tulas look lovely & if I wasn't a wrapper I think I'd opt for one of those tbh. 😀 I don't like Connectas.

Three beautiful boys and my longed-for DD due in June 2016!

Thank you sweetdream! I'll ask my doctors next time I see them.

Hopper not sure if there's a growth spurt is due but around 17/18 weeks I found myself eating everything is sight. My hunger has died down a little now so I've put it down to baby having a growth spurt. I hope you feel better soon. x

[hopper]

lol thanks ladies, glad to know I'm not alone! The bump ache has been horrible the past few days but then last night I felt him move much higher in my bump than ever before so I'm just assuming it was everything shifting around and him moving a bit higher :)

I had Hyperemesis on both pregnancies but it was horrendous on my second so the first maybe 14ish weeks were very hard for our family in general as I was constantly being admitted to hospital for fluids. After the sickness had passed I found it fine for the most part. DS2 arrived when DS1 was just gone 23 months. DH had to be more hands on than I would have thought he might have wanted to be but that can only be a good thing ;) The age gap this time will be 30ish months between DS2 and DS3. I'm loving it so far, pregnancy has been easier in general and the boys are great buddies and great for occupying each other so I can rest a lot more than I could have on my second pregnancy. The fact DH is more hands on this time round is a real help too :)

Sorry to hear you are suffering from migraines hun, they are so unpleasant! But yay on seeing belly move :) I'm so surprised by how inactive (even at this stage!) this baby is compared to his big brothers. I'm hoping its a sign of things to come lol. A quiet, easy baby would be such a change from my first two :P

Enjoy telling your DS about his birthday treat :D So cute!!! As for baby wearing I've done it on both my guys and I will again this time, though I have sold on all but one of my carriers. I wouldn't have survived the early weeks if I didn't wear DS2 lol. I just have a Boba left though, I prefer buckles over wraps and slings. Easier and less fuss with a newborn ;) I had a stretchy wrap on DS2 and I thought I'd love it but honestly it was just faster put him into and take him out of the structured carrier!

[hopper]

Thank you sweetdream! I'll ask my doctors next time I see them.

Hopper not sure if there's a growth spurt is due but around 17/18 weeks I found myself eating everything is sight. My hunger has died down a little now so I've put it down to baby having a growth spurt. I hope you feel better soon. x

lol oh this is SO me right now!! Just last night DH said that I haven't stopped eating lately, there's always food of some form in my hands!

[has2gentlemen]

Luvmyfam- I baby wear! I just got a Tula in the fall and I absolutely love it! It's the most comfortable carrier I've found for a toddler. I swear by my Rockin Baby ring sling for newborns though. I wore DS2 in it from the day he came home from the hospital until I switched him to the Tula at 20 months. It was quick, easy, and I could nurse in it.

Boyz my DS 1 was very active in utero and I think this one is on the same track as him. He walked at 9 months and was always on the go as a baby. DS 2 was so lazy in utero I had to do daily kick counts and he was a lazy baby and didn't walk until 14.5 months. It is normal and she can move a lot in her sleep.

[missiz]

gah so excited, hubby felt baby move for the first time on saturday!!! his reaction was so gorgeous :P I dont think he was expecting to actually feel anything when I put his hand on my tummy, but then little miss kicked him right under his hand haha how far along were you ladies when your partner's could feel baby move? I ended up being 16 weeks which I think is similar to my last 2 pregnancies

[mammacass]

I have always used a Baby Bjorn for mine and just love it :) perfect for when bub just wants cuddles and you need to get things done around the house, and also great when u go out and about and don't want to use pram :)

I can't seem to stop eating either ladies, have been indulging quite a bit :( oh well.

Sorry to hear your son is also sick boyz, it's been long and drawn out for you - hope you are able to get some rest x

Missiz my hubby and DS1 have just recently felt Bub move too at 18wks, loved DS1s reaction, it was just perfect [emoji4]

[TaytumJ]

I've been eating a lot lately too...I feel like from here on out it's going to be one big growth spurt and I better just get used to it! I do feel though that such a long time on HE diet for me has really turned me off to veggies and red meat now.

Hope your little one feels better Boyzmommy! I can imagine that would be difficult for your whole family!

Missiz - I think I was around 18 weeks (FTM) and that's what happened to me! I was feeling baby move and when DH put his hand up s/he stopped moving and all of a sudden let off a BIG kick! Spooked both of us! Haha

Speaking of moving in utero, I'm always wondering what I'm feeling? Sometimes it just feels like a swipe under my skin...maybe a knee moving a leg? I've been trying to figure out position of baby, but in assuming it's hard to know since s/he is could have legs up by head at this point?

Also, has anyone combination fed or know someone who has? For my own sanity, and DH bonding, I'd really like it if DH could give one bottle at night, even if formula at first. And I'll BF during the day while home. Anyone else know someone who has or done it themselves? I really don't want to get so worked up and overwhelmed by feeding baby and I always think if I had just one time break it would be good for me and then I can be a better mommy. Just wanted some thoughts since you all are the experts! [emoji177]

[yogi&booboo]

Taytum, lactation specialists recommend you bf as much as you can because babies are super smart and will only want whats easier for them. Sucking from the bottle may discourage them from trying to do the work for the breast. I think the dh can possibly bond with diaper / clothes changing and burping..that's my plan for my dh as I hope and pray I can exclusively bf. I am watching bf latching and all kinds of videos that may help me as It has been painful in the past for me :)

Hiya,

Congratulations to you all and loving reading about all your progressing pregnancies.

Just to answer taytum, I combination fed both my boys and they coped with it brilliantly. Mostly breastfed for first month or so but would give the occasional expressed milk to get them used to the bottle (used the same brand of teat as their dummy) I personally loved it as it took some of the pressure off me and allowed my husband or mum to have a shot at feeding them, which they loved doing.

I always stayed out of the room as apparently the baby can smell you and may refuse the bottle, also sometimes made me sad to see it (crazy hormones) it made me appreciate the next feed I would give him though even more!

My sister and sister in law also did combination feeding and all the babies were great with it .

Good luck in whatever you decide xxx

[Foxcubblue]

I also have done combination feeding twice Taytum with no issues. Starting at about a month, hubby used to 'dream feed' the girls a bottle of expressed milk at 11pm (I breastfed the rest of the time) so i could go to bed earlier, if I hadn't managed to pump enough milk we would top up the bottle with some formula, they both slept through (7-7!) from 8 weeks with this method! And also accepted bottles easily once i weaned. I think personally it is good to introduce bottles early as i have friends who have exclusively breastfed to 6 months and then tried to introduce a bottle and baby has absolutely refused to take it.

[mommymachine]

My older two boys were on both breast and formula, my 3rd was breastfed and bottle fed pumped milk and had some formula later on. (After 6 months I think...I was trying to get my cycle back.) DD1 was EBF and didn't take a bottle until nearly or over a year (I forget). And I don't even think I tried a bottle with DD2 until I wanted to introduce cows milk. So lots of different experiences. And challenges that go along with each of them. But I can say one thing with confidence...DH bonded equally with all of them :) so have no worries about that part!!

I've never given any of mine a bottle & DH has bonded brilliantly. He's always seen winding them as his job after a feed, when he's at home. Ds1 was ebf until 15 months, ds2 was ebf until 18 months & ds3 is still going strong at 27 months. I planning on tandem feeding him with his sister.

I did not want to go again without having my main necesities thats for sure. So far ive started on my shower centerpieces. Still undecisive on the final look. Going with the mustache theme.

Thanks for all of your insight and info ladies! My breastfeeding class tonight was really insightful and helpful. I do think I'm going to give BF an honest try and maybe only combo feed with maybe hubby giving one bottle at night after a few weeks. Or, at least attempt to pump and begin to build a stock pile. I think before I have any breast milk on hand I'll be anxious about what I'm going to do if grandma needs to watch for a few hours? I think my anxiety stems from knowing that I won't ever be able to depend on anyone else to help out. And maybe that won't be a problem...I need to just let it go and go with the flow! I seem to be able to do this with every other aspect of having a baby EXCEPT feeding! Gah!

Team green baby due May 21! [emoji170][emoji166]

For me, it was hard with DS1. Looking back, I had a bad experience in the NiCU. I spiked a fever during the delivery and he wasn't able to regulate his temperature and had a high C reactive protein level ( this measures inflammatory response in your body) . His should've been a 5 and was 500! Nothing was working. The nurse he had was not supportive of nursing and kept threatening giving him formula if I didn't produce the amount he needed. Finally after the neonatologist witnessed her behavior, he gave me a new nurse and allowed me to stay with him (I never knew that was an option before). Once my milk came in, his CRP levels were going down by more than half. The neonatologist told me that I was making what he needed to get better, since he hadn't been responsive to their treatment protocol. After a 5 day stay, he could finally come home! The stress of it all threw me into PPD in hindsight. I wish I would have let people help me more, even with feeding eventually since I had a stockpile of breastmilk.

Sorry for the long winded response! Do what feels right in the moment. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it or if others recognize you need it, even with feedings or anything else. The newborn phase is rough, but it keeps on getting better! Always trust your instincts and know that it will be beautifully imperfect- just the way it's supposed to be [emoji4]!

Cute pics fiya.

Ive been busy sorting boys clothing moving one size to one room and one to another 😂😂😂 the joys of recycling clothes.

My little munchkin moves alot now its lovely. Ive had a burst of energy so im hoping it lasts a while. Finally settled on a name aswell which makes me feel better.

Ive started keeping a food diary trying to track calories etc and its such an eye opener into the amount of cals i have been consuming 😐

DH is wanting to join the gym and asked if i wanted to aswell so im thinking i might. It would certainly be good for cardio if we sway in the future.

Hope all is well xx

Hi all,
Nothing new with me and my rainbow. I don't know if I said they spotted a potential kidney/bladder issue at the anatomy scan but they aren't too concerned.
I'm trying to stay positive as I approach the dreaded 28w but it's hard to believe that I might actually get a baby girl to take home this time :-(

Taytum - vitamin c helps with iron absorption. Also please don't pump until after 6 weeks except for a small amount to relieve discomfort on the day or 2 after your milk comes in.

Hopper - I'm 23w and I feel like baby is growing faster than my skin can stretch so yes I'm getting very taut around my sides

Luvmyfam - I will be wearing baby in a wrap sling as much as practical

Boyzmommy - massage can improve your circulation which will help with the night numbness but make sure that it's a therapist qualified for pregnant women

[Fiya]

So does everyone in this group know the gender of their sweet little baby or are there still some surprises (except Taytum off course)?

And when are the next scans coming up? I've just booked a 3D scan of our little one on the 9th of April and I'm sooo looking forward to that one. I did the same for both my boys with a DVD for them to look at later.

@Milybaby: How are you hun? Are you still reading here? Not much news from your side lately?

@Netti: Did you gain a lot of weight during this pregnancy so far? You can always try to limit snacking, but don't prive your little one of food :)

[netti02]

Fiya it was mainly weight gain from stress over the last 12-18 months. We sold our house the same time as ds4 was born but it was the best thing. Plus i think being able to finally admit i wanted a dd so much and telling dh was the biggest thing and of coure other stuff that just snowballed into a weight gain of about 40 pounds. Im hoping to watch what i eat closely and increase the exercise before i potentially sway. Plus i want to be teaching my older 2 about good eating habits etc.

Im due for a catch up scan friday as they couldn't see his heart properly in the position he was so comfortable in 😂😂

Boom my ds4 they were concerned with the tube in one of his kidneys but turned out fine

Fiya she's precious! Glad to hear her scan went well. U don't know if I already said this or not but I have a 3D scan on April 9th too!

So cool there's so many baby wearer's here! I really am wanting to get a tula and I'm looking at maybe the girasol earthy rainbow ring sling!

[Boyzmommy]

I think most of us know the gender already. Taytum is the only surprise left.


Mom to two princes

[mommymachine]

Is a Tula good for nursing in? I usually use a moby wrap for infants but nursing in it was a bit hard.


Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!

[Fiya]

No, nursing in a tula isn't great. A wrap is much better for nursing... Lennylamb, Oscha, Kokadi, Little Frog, Natibaby, Hoppediz, Yaro are some of the brands who have lovely woven wraps which are great for nursing

OR of course a woven wrap from Tula, but not a baby carrier with insert :)

Has any of u used Depends postpartum ? Any cons ? So far i am hearing all pros.

I have a question for everyone. I have been feeling kicks up very high. I had an appointment last week and asked my doctor about it and she said she didn't "think" she was measuring anything up that high and it's probably gas bubbles. Well my little guy is getting very strong and now others can feel his kicks and see him kicking from the outside. My BF last night felt him kicking and was shocked how strong he is and how high he is. She made a quick comment about fluid levels possibly being high. Everything was ok a few weeks ago at my anatomy scan, but now I'm just worried. I don't know if I'm crazy NICU nurse worried or if it's something I should actually be worried about. He's kicking me about 4-5 inches above my belly button! Just a little below my rib cage. He's also super low at times too hitting my cervix. I just don't know what to think.

[Violet Winter]

Hi luvmyfam, @ 22-23 wks your uterus will be sitting just above your belly button. I notice when I sit down the kicks feel higher. With my ds2 his kicks were so strong we could see them from the outside at 17 weeks. He was quite violent with his movements the whole pregnancy. I thought he'd be a terror but he is the sweetest most gentle little boy. I'm sure everything is ok but for reassurance ask for another scan. xx

[missiz]

I had been feeling my kicks very low, right in my pelvis. But now they are starting to move upward, not quite above my belly button yet though :) with my 2 sons, they both kicked me so hard they dislocated my rib twice... not pleasant I can assure you!

I have my 19 week scan booked in for the 23rd March so thats a little less than 2 weeks away :) im nervous about it and hoping it reflects the harmony test and our little girl really is in there xo

[yogi&booboo]

Definetly possible Luv. Maybe the baby is high up.

I actually had a slightly scary trip to L&D when they told me to come in after all day Braxton Hicks -- turns out they may have been triggered because my baby was head butting my cervix! They could barely get a transvaginal ultrasound reading to check my cervix meaurement because her head was so wedged in there moving all around (and boy did I feel it!). Everything's fine, but man... the cervix busting... she's as bad as her father! :rolleyes:

Otherwise, I think it's definitely possible you're feeling up high with no issues, Luv. Are you short waisted? I'm pretty short torso'd and feel like that's been why I've gotten kicks in the upper ribs at times more than other women I've heard.

Yogi I have a lot of movement very low too at times. It felt like he was dancing on my cervix earlier and then all of a sudden I'm getting jabbed up really high. WAY above my belly button. The cervix jabs hurt so bad and my OB calls them "zingers".

Panther, I am short wasted but have never had this in my other pregnancies. Im happy to hear your little scare turned out to be ok!

I called my doctor today and they scheduled me for an ultrasound next Tuesday just to make sure my fluid levels are ok.

[yogi&booboo]

Luv, Super happy your getting your ultrasound. I told my OB and she brushed it off to me as normal. I have my specialist appointment in two weeks. I'll ask him then since I have more confidence in his thoughts and advice. Good luck and hope all is well ❤

I hate when doctors brush you off. Even if it's nothing, you are worried and concerned and she needs to reassure you. Hopefully you feel better before your specialist appointment but if you continue to worry I would see if you can get into your specialist early.

Deep down I really feel everything is ok. I feel crazy and paranoid. But I know just seeing him again and hearing everything is ok will help me. I hope you get some reassurance soon!
