Anyway problem is he spits up BM the most not so much the formula no clue why. Can't put rice cereal in there lol
I would think if he had reflux it is still gonna come up even if you put rice cereal in there, the stuff he spits up would just be thickerQuote:

I have never exercised before in my life, well at a gym, everyday kind of thing anyway!!
I did until I was 4 months, I had to stop because of spotting issues
Do you feel it helped your pregnancy or birth be physically easier? Will you go back to it again or you happy back in your old lifestyle? I would stop too if I had spotting issues!!
Well it was my fastest labor ever, one push and he was out!Quote:

Way to go!! OK it's a plan then, stick to it as long as I can and continue after baby is born!! Thanks hon x
Im feeling good with my pregnancy, i feel the baby moving lots now and get braxton hicks a lot, i eat lots of junky foods though and soft drink where i never used to drink it, ive put on 7kgs so far, everything is pretty normal. I have been under a fair amount of stress though with other things going on in my life atm, so i have been crying a lot and i feel really guilty for letting the stress get to me because i am pregnant, i know its not good for the baby but i can help it, i feel like my whole world is crashing down around me and it now seems that the timing of this baby couldn't be worse :(Quote:

Cinss I'm so sorry to hear that your under a lot of stress. When I was pregnant I was an emotional mess, stressed all the time and my temper was unreal!! I would pick fights with everyone. I loved junk food and soda which is probably why I gained 55lbs! I still have about 14 more lbs to lose so hopefully when I go back to the gym it will come off. I hope things settle down for you and you can relax instead of being stressed, pregnancy is hard enough as it is without any added stress :hugs:
Oh Cinss I am so sorry you are super stressed at the moment and feeling upset/down. {{{BIG HUGS}}} Is there anything I could help you out with? Relax and enjoy your little man and don't let anyone else stress you or bring you down. You deserve this pregnancy!!
Cinss, can you get a massage or something? Feeling stressed during pregnancy is awful. :(
Hi gals, our little man is here!! Arrived on his due date of the 24th! Awesome birth at home in the birthing tub. Love him to bits!!! We had to run to L&D yesterday for a Rhogam shot (he is Rh+) so I'm wiped out from that, but otherwise we are doing great!
He's fussing to nurse so more later. He was 8lbs 12oz, 22in long and has tons of hair!!

Congratulations Skrimpy!! He is beautiful :)

He's beautiful Skrimpy! :)
Cinss, I am so sorry that you are stressing out about things. Those stupid crazy hormones! I've also been on a roller coaster.. pregnancy it's just a personal experience and even two of ours aren't the same. As soon as I got pregnant I was terrified, surprised..scared.. "What have I done.." and then later on feeling excited, yet guilty and all these other emotions.
You and I were lucky enough to get our dream but we still are affected by those crazy hormones! Even as I transition from 2 kids to 3.. from boys to a girl.. it still feels foreign to me. As I was washing all the clothes she was going to wear and actually having to make sure that the pants match with the appropriate top, and how much extra laundry I'm going to have..I started to feel overwhelmed as reality set in once again.
Don't beat yourself up for your emotions hon. They are normal. And trust me, your pregnancy will FLY by! Enjoy it, cherish it. I don't know if it's your last, but this one is mine. I am VERY sad about it, and every time I turn on the camcorder she stops moving.. I'm trying to capture what I can and I really have nothing.
I know you are going to be okay, Cinss.. and when that little man comes, you will be SO in love, with a bond that is so wonderful and sweet and indescribable and only comes from a mommy and a son. :)
I hope that you feel much better soon!! Xx
Skrimpy Congratulations :) He is so beautiful !
Thanks everyone for the support, i am really enjoying being pregnant, i love it so much! The situation i am in is just really bad and there is nothing i can do to fix it. DP made a huge mistake over xmas and got locked up for a few days which absolutely rocked my world i couldnt eat or sleep just cry because what he did was not good and thank god he is out on bail now, but he has court again in March and i think he will have to spend time in jail :tissue: So i dont even know if he will be with me for the birth of our son :( And he is just going to miss out on so much and i will be all alone with my kids, ontop of that we are now worried about others that were involved in that mess and have to move house which is a big stress too. I just want to wake up from this nightmare :(
Congrats skrimpy he is beautiful!!
I am so sorry Cinss, that sounds really difficult and I would be super stressed in that situation too! I hope things brighten up for you and he can be there for the birth of your little man!!
Oh Cinss I am so sorry you have to go through something like that, it sounds extremely stressful. Hopefully everything works out and you won't be alone when your little man is born. We are here for you :hugs: I wish we lived near each other I would wrap you up in a huge hug right now
Oh Cinss, I am so sorry hon. I had no idea! :(
Hopefully he will be out for the birth of your son.
Oh goodness Cinns this just caught my eye as I skimmed through the unread posts.
I'm so sorry Hun that you are going through what you are going through :(
I can't even begin to imagine. I hope you have a family and friends in real life to help you through.
Your little boy is going to be your shinning light through all this, and as hard as these times are at the moment they are only going to make you and your family so so so much stronger.
You strike me as a very resilient and determined women and I'm sure that in a few years time you will all look back on this trying and difficult time and think 'wow, look what we got through'
Don't hesitate to reach out to those of us here in the net or via Facebook, I know myself that sometimes just ranting to an anonymous face can make all the difference.
I hope things start picking up for you soon and that Dp doesn't have to go back inside. Always hope for the best, I'm hoping hard for you too! They do tend to be on the lenient side here when it comes to sentencing, especially for one offs and first offences, so with any luck he'll get a community service or a suspended sentence and you won't have to be without him at all.
Stay strong, this too WILL pass, and no matter how dark the night, the dawn will always break :)
Sending you lots of xo xo
Oh Cinss. I am so sorry you are going through all this. I know it can be hard but try to think as positively as possible until the sentancing comes in March, at the moment it is all up in the air and you could try and believe in the best possible outcome. Can you postpone the house move until things settle down. Hugs.
Thanks everyone i feel much better just having gotten it off my chest, i am really really just hoping for a positive outcome. I dont want to be a downer on the board, and i am so greatful i still have you ladies to share the good stuff with, all these pregnancies and babies do make me feel better :) Life does go on.
skrimpy-congrats he is so cute with that chubby cheeks! big baby! I want to see all that hair :-)
cinss-Im sorry you are having a hard time. Hopefully your DP didn't do something so bad that he have to spend time in jail.
If the moving is over just try to relax as much as you can .What ever happened is done can't change it now, right?
I know pregnancy can be so hard I had a very bad time. And now that baby is here is just so hard because Im all alone with no help and is just to much with 5 kids and baby want's to be held a lot ect. Some days I just cry...what else can I do ?
So just take it easy like you can and rest a lot before baby is here!
Skrimpy, I just saw this--I had been thinking about you and wondering when you would have him! Is his name Corwin? I love that! Congrats! He is beautiful! And a big boy!
Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Storms last weekend slowed us down for a while.Quote:

DD2 was Frank Breech and 8 pound 8 (57cm long!!) and a week early by caesarian. It was very liberating to have a completely natural labour and birth and I did it with no drugs! (ouch).
Flava, I have my nuchal and cvs in 2 weeks today!!! Am so nervous and feel like time has virtually stopped. I have a question for you....did you have any different cravings with your son than with the 4 girls? Actually, anyone with a boy and lots of girls can answer this. I am going crazy fro meat (in particualr big macs which I would NEVER eat but now fantasize about). I actually ate a leftover chop for breakfast!!!!!!! I am normally a sultana bran and low fat yoghurt girl so this is freaking me out.
POP, I have exercised all through my previous 3 pregnancies and have only put on minimum weight and maintained good energy. Despite being an older Mum (32, 34 and 36) I always found that I only had 3 KG's to lose after the initial 6 weeks post baby and that came off quickly once I started walking regularly with the baby. If you are enjoying it, it will be doing wonderful things for you. Keep going!Quote:

Yep, he's Corwin <3 I love him so much, he is the sweetest baby! He is a little chunk, too. I still feel amazed to have him!Quote:

I was definitely hungrier I ate all the time! For the first 12 weeks I was so nauseous every night, I never threw up but I felt like it, and I had a bad temper, all these things were so different for me from my girl pregnancies
I got m/s with my boy but also with 3 of my girls. And i was very sleepy to had to take naps a lot. But I had low iron maybe that's why? I always have low iron...I don't think I was hungrier this time but I was the biggest because of the HE diet.
I didnt have ms at all with DD i got it mildly with this one, especially if i would get hungry, hence eat all the time, that went away at about 10 weeks. I got heaps of pimples on my face this time around and napping a lot too.
Sounds like me this time Dloui - you are keeping my hope alive! MS and hunger are the same as you but I am less angry this time, was more quick tempered and less patient with the girls pregnancies. Had another dream last night where someone mentioned the twins room....!! I am sure it's just my subconscious anxiety over twins manifesting into dreams as my psychic ability is notoriously bad. I even considered pretending I've got cramps and going to hospital just to have an ultrasound and check there's just one there but even I am not slack enough to do that to the public hospitals - they are understaffed and overworked as it is. Sigh...am patient with the kids but it seems not this one yet...what are you little bean????Quote:
