Hey mum 2 3 my first week of maternity leave this week soooo nice!
Lady Laura I'm hoping for August too she just needs to be 6 days early her brothers were both late lol!
Knackered the whole time can't believe I could have another 14 weeks ;-s I'll be dead
The boys were super well behaved and really enjoyed the day I was dreading it but they were so good it was lovely!
Super cute boys fish!
Fish: I hope she comes a little earlier for you then, I was induced 18days early with my first DD due to pre eclampsia, im sure though with being due 18th Sept theres no getting away from the fact shes going to be at home for the extra year. I take my last 3 weeks of holidays at end of July, then maternity kicks in mid august :D im so excited x
I'm also hoping for a late August baby. My doc has always been happy inducing me early. However I've always waited until 40 wks. This time I'll be telling him as soon as he is happy for her to come out I'm on board!! So I'm hoping that's in my 38th wk which would put me at the last couple of days in August. Will wait and see I guess!
Oh salsa lucky you, here in uk don't think they will even if I beg ;-s
I would personally wait for the 39th week because of brain development... Here they will not induce or section unless medically nessisary before 39 weeks... NBP posted a big article about the brain development and why to wait til 39 weeks and it's very compelling...
I heard even 39th week can cause dislexia and learning difficulties.
Isnt it strange how different countries work. Im in the uk, I was induced at 37 weeks with my little girl due to pre eclampsia. Fair reason but if all is well and babys late they wont induce until atleast one week over due, they mostly try a stretch and sweep and if that fails they will thrn book an Induction date for around 42 weeks.x
Wow! 42 wks!! The longest they leave you in one piece here in Aus is 10days over. Never 2 wks! That would be awful. Well if it happens on the date I want I will be 38wks and 5 days. Will wait and see closer to the time. Here in Aus if you need a booked c section they do it at 38wks.
My friend had a beautiful baby girl this morning Emily Ava, interestingly an accidental shettles sway 5 days before o, makes a pigeon pair for her but you'd love her so its okay and she does know how lucky she is!
Awwww that's wonderful fish!! Congrats to her! How exciting x
Yeah it's really made me more excited about this lill lady, I really want them to be same school year.... Her lill boy is two days older than my ds1!
It's unbelievable they made me redundant today just 3wks before maternity leave. I can't believe my luck plus how is this even allowed. I have an official meeting tomorrow when they are going explain the package. Still now I will have a year longer gap on my CV which is not ideal if I want to find a job later in the future. I am quite upset about it let's just hope the baby won't be affected by all this stress.
Oh girlsway how stressful where do you live? In uk I think they still have to pay your maternity plus redundancy, do you think it's cause your preggie?
Oh gosh poor you :hugs:
Xx
I think so because I can't do 14 hrs a day as some guys do. I will see what the package is tomorrow but it better be good.
Might be worth contacting an employment lawyer if they are getting rid of you cause your preggie it's sex discrimination
Hope they offer you a nice cash payment tomorrow - let us know how it goes xxx
Ah could I ever do Le again ;-)
Breaky yogurt blue berries and granola
Lunch avocado and motzerrlla salad
;/)
All good on the redundancy front and they offered me a great package, and as I wasn't planning on going back it worked out financially much better.
How is everyone these days, it's been v quiet here.
That's great news for you!!!Quote:

I'm sick, but nothing big, just a really sore throat and body aches. My biggest pregnancy issue right now is that I can't hold my bladder for long, so if I am not near a bathroom when it hits me that I need to pee, I have a little leakage, so embarrassing!!! My bladder can't hold much and I truly can't hold it if I need to go, does this happen to anyone else! Luckily I haven't had an issue with it in public!Quote:

Thorz I am suffering from the same problem. I had a nasty cough which make my blader leak and its so embarrassing. I noticed its worse in the evening (not sure why) and I often have to change my clothes.
Fish cute sleep suit, very practical, you will get a good use of it.
Thanks girlsway trying not to go too mad! Anyone else been shopping?
So I found out that my OB is leaving the practice on Aug 1st. I picked her because she has a good reputation with surgery as I have nasty scaring that has to be cut away before they can get to the baby. From what DH says last time they had to take my uterus out to get to DS2. Anyway, so now I am frustrated to the point of tears. The only other OB in the practice that I would trust to do the surgery only has one day (Mondays) and one time (12:00) to do my section. So now I have to move up the birth from Friday to Monday (which is harder due to getting DS1 and DS2 to school) and I have a much later surgery which means I can't eat or drink anything until late afternoon. Plus I haven't even met this OB and I really hope I like him!!! Sorry to get on here and rant... I am just really frustrated with the situation!!
Oh wanting that's awful. I'm so sorry you are going through that!! I'm sure it will all work out for you, but it's stress that you certainly don't need at this time :-( and you can't follow your OB to where she is going?? Not sure how your medical system works. My whole household is sick with winter colds - it sucks!
Fish that outfit is adorable, ive been mad shopping lately bought loads of second hand items off a lovely lady for my little one. I think im nesting now with only 12/13 weeks ubtil due date, im feeling the need to get everything complete and prepared. Im also off to a nearly new sale today which is hopefully full of plenty of winter items, cant buy any new this time of year and I like to be prepared for upto 3 months. Is every one set on baby names yet, we have changed our girls and decided on Nahla-Rose pronounced like Nala of the lion king xx
Me too! But I had it with DD3 and it went away afterwards so I'm hopeful it'll come right afterwards. Ditto my horrible varicose vein(s) on the right and in fact my body in general!Quote:

I love seeing the clothes everyone has bought, I'm not a huge shopper but I'll get there eventually. We don't need much really though I'm trying to convince DH we need a new double stroller.
Girlsway glad everything worked out for you in the end
Thorz sorry your not feeling too great, i've been suffering really bad with hayfever and i'm lucky if i get 4 hours sleep a night a the min.
Well we are now in the full swing of house buying, its so new to us but we seem to be getting there. Really hope we get somewhere bought and in by the time the little lady is born.
We had a 3d/4d scan done yesterday too and it was amazing. She also confirmed she is defo a girl (so happy :D) . . . Pics too follow, its been very hectic here so ill try and pop them up tonight, shes beautiful.
We are also off on holiday on monday for a week which i'm really looking forward but it means more chaos, i dont think things are going to chill out now for a good few months.
Hey I haven't been on in ages! I too suffer with this thorz only noticed it this week, been sneezing with hay fever and have a little leak sometimes, never had it before with my first 2! Just hope it does go!
I've brought a few things not loads though as I'm still scared my little one might have grown a willy, sometimes the news you get just feels to good to be true!,,
Is anybody else massive I feel so big! I spoke to another pregnant irk the other day who had only 4 weeks left and I'm sure I'm her size but I'm not due till end of sept!
I still haven't picked a name , what does everyone think of Emmi, my partner likes it but I'm not sure, ???.
Omg I had a dream last night my baby was a girl! I woke up crying I was so upset.... So now I'm a little freaked out as I didn't see his penis... He better still be a he! OMG only 66 more days to go! Tht sounds soooo close
Oh wanting sorry to hear extra worry sure the other guy will be fab!
Wag oh poor you I've had a few dreams that the twin have arrived the first moment you wake it's amazing then so gutting so sorry for you
Mel I'm not buying anything more just in case it's a boy lol
Daltag so pleased re house move
Can't remember who it was but yes I am the size of a house and cannot bear the idea of another 11 weeks ;-( fx for an early bird!
I want to comment on everyone's recent posts but I'm super duper tired so I will have to do it later tonight. I just painted a bench that I found at a garage sale for $5 it's a bench/toy box for the nursery!
So has anyone else noticed that Northern is back on here and is TTC?! I hope she is doing well and wish her the best of luck!
Oh no I only check this board on my phone that's cool xx
Tried to do some catching up, glad to see some of you posting more regularly again... have missed everyone!
Thorz I have had the bladder issue really bad this time. During the beginning of Spring I had to wear panty liners because every time I sneezed from allergies I would leak! It's gotten a little better now but still have to be careful when I sneeze or cough lol.
Wanting, I'm sorry about your OB leaving. That is an added stress you don't need!
Glad everyone else seems to be doing well and I'm sorry for not responding to everyone but I have read through to see what you ladies are up to.
As for me I spent some time in the hospital a little over a week ago. I had gotten severely dehydrated which kick started a lot of contractions and ended up in L&D for IV fluids. Once the contractions got into a pattern of every 2-3 minutes they started getting pretty painful and I was worried this little guy would be coming at 27 weeks! Luckily several rounds of terbutalin shots finally calmed things down and I've been back home. So far so good since then and I'm hoping to stay our of the hospital as long as possible.
Oh southern my gosh how scary, my dh is away this weekend on a stag do and I suddenly thought oh feeling a bit crampy omg what if I go into labour.... Feel fine now but must be so stressful for you to be on edge all the time ;-(
So pleased to hear your home hope he stays put this really would be very early
Thanks Fish. Glad you and your little one are doing well too. Love the adorable outfits you shared!
Perineum massage anyone?!?
I did with both and had an episiotomy and a 2nd degree tear....... Anyone have stories to motivate me ;-)
Oh Fish, I just had a little giggle as I read your first sentence! Wasn't expecting that! Lol....
I never did any sort of massage.... I have been very fortunate and have never needed any stitches. Hoping I stay on this lucky streak! I don't know why im so lucky as my babies are all so big at nearly 10lb. I do know that my doc always says make sure when I tell you to stop pushing you stop!! Apparently all the midwives say my doc is very kind on the perineum and has a great success rate of in tact peri's... So maybe all my advise would be is to really listen to your doc when it comes time to push, but I also just think alot of it comes down to the size and shape of bubs head
