November chit chat thread for ladies due in Sept./Oct./Nov 2012

Hobber - try not to stress too much about those newborn tests. I'm sure they would have called you if there was anything to be concerned about. Here they never call if tests come back normal. The general rule is 'no news is good news'.

Same here, we don't hear unless there IS something wrong. I barely ever heard results of the blood panels they did for NICU and I was sitting there all day long!

Every time I think we have names sorted, then DH seems to be unsure and coming up with new ones, or names we have already crossed off the list. I am sure it will be a matter of seeing what they look like this time around. Most likely for a boy (lol) is Hayden Jett. For a girl, I love Sasha Belle or Sasha Michelle (my middle name). DHs favourite girl name is Zoe and he likes the idea of using my middle name. Time will tell. Hoping she looks just like a Sasha!

Thanks for the reassurance. I am mostly worried because no one seems to even have a copy of the results--not our regular doctor, and not the doctor I saw during pregnancy and delivery.I don't know who would have even seenthem to determine if they were normal or not.

Peony, Zoe is my neice's name. I like Sasha, too.

Has anyone heard from TTC5? I wonder how she and baby Daniel are doing?

[pinkin2011]

No havent seen her post in a while and what about HappyLea???

[PeonyPrincess]

I miss Happylea too. Have been wondering how she is going.
Just bumped into a mum at school drop off who is a physio and does acupuncture. I mentioned that I may have to be induced (again) in 10 days and she suggested having some acupuncture done as a form of induction. I had already looked into it and considered it, but have come straight home and booked in some appointments. Man, I will try anything not to be hooked up to a drip and monitor all labour again!
Off to the accountant now. Tax return time. Trying to get as much out of the way as possible so I can enjoy this baby when she arrives.

UGH, my Domperidone got lost at the NY sorting facility. I ordered it a MONTH ago when I was starting to have milk supply issues. What am I going to do now??

Seriously so close to giving up on BFing.

[PeonyPrincess]

Oh Lynxie, you must be at your wits end. Is Ivy unsettled as she wants more milk from you as well? The only advice I have is to never give up at night, as things are often different in the morning. And I read recently that night feeds increase your milk supply more than day-time feeds (I will remind myself of this when I am up at all hours feeding shortly!) Well done for feeding her for this long as well. Every bit helps, and you have not had an easy time of it.

Oh gosh, so sorry Lynxie! The only thing that seems to help mine is oatmeal everyday and LOADS of water....which I'm sure you're already doing. I've heard the hops in non-alcoholic beer helps...? Hope your package gets there quicker for you!!!
