******August 2014 mummies******

[Weezy]

Hi all
Sorry i'v not been around much. Congrats to everyone who has had scans already and good luck to those who have them coming up
Terrible news for Eryinera- my heart really goes out to her. And mummy midwife I hope things are easing off a little now? Must be so frightening I can understand why your worried but good news you are not dilating, small constellation I suppose.

I've been in/out of physio.. Confirmed PGP as opposed to SPD, honestly i'v never felt pain like this in my life, I usually have a high pain threshold but this has me in tears every other night. Looks like I'll be on crutches soon and god knows when I'll need to stop work- still hoping to get upto 38wks but we'll see. OH is not working at the no so only really have my income, bit scary to think how we'd live off ssp and SMP if it comes to it.
Also yet again have the cold for the 5th time in this pregnancy! Frustrating!! So back to sleeping for 12-13hrs a night
My best friend has booked us a hair/nails/facial/makeup appointment for tomorrow then we'll go for dinner. Bless her, really looking forward to it hopefully will be just what I need.
Another friend has told me she's taking me to a spa for my bday, so to book a day off at end of next month.
Feeling horrible but Atleast I'm blessed with great friends

Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend xx

Ladies I made a little scan video and put it in my journal I keep welling up when I watch it but it's keeping me nice and positive.

Got consultant tomorrow morning and another private scan on Saturday, nervous but excited! xx

 

[mum2b410]

Thanks Lottie ...... Don't stress about work- like u say, family first! U won't b the first person to go back off quickly- nor the last!

Leesey- for some reason I can't access the journals section on tapatalk but will def have a look when I log in via internet site next!..... Really hope all goes well with consultant and your next private scan! Saw your latest bump pic too in July mummies (think it was there?) U look great!

Feeling a bit sad and lonely today girls had a few tears too! Think its coz hubby been working a lot recently so getting back late and I'm still going to bed early coz of tiredness! Not having a great time with my parents right now (long story) and haven't had much energy to do anything except look after Ethan recently, and money is tight so can't always get out and do stuff with friends as much as I'd like- so guess its multifactorial!..... Hoping for a brighter day tomorrow!

Morning all. Hope you're all OK.

Mum2be, hope you're feeling better and brighter today, sounds like a combination of things got to you all at once, hormones don't help either do they? X

Went to see a comedian my OH loves last night, seats were sooo uncomfortable I was in agony as couldn't move to a comfy position with bump in way. Bless him he said "shall we leave" in the interval so we came home. Looks like theatre trips are out for me, let's hope cinema is ok on Saturday.

Got a proper, feel on the outside kick yesterday, hurrah.

Hi girls, sorry for the absence, I have never felt so down in my life, it has been a difficult week emotionally, ended in triage a couple of times after last post, ' labouring' away with gas and air and then settling; but thankfully cervix remains closed and baby safely tucked up in here. I have never cried so hard, so worried but the last 2 days I have been fine and no more cramping or contractions.

Thank you so much for all your well wishes, you are all so lovely and thanks for bearing with me read it all !

So sorry you are going through a rough patch weezy, PGP is bad hope you get some relief soon?

Mum2b, I am sorry you were having a bad yesterday And hope you are having a much better day

Hope everyone is ok xxx

[Kaffee]

Oh mummymidwife, you poor thing sounds awful, I don't blame you for crying. Good news on your cervix being closed still. Hoping bubs stays in there for weeks to come yet. X

[lottielou]

Hello everyone . . .

Mummymidwife. . Oh no im sorry to hear that you have had such a poo time!!! And im really praying that your little lady stays put. And that the contracting stops. And begger off!

Mum2b- thats also total poo!. Really hope this weekend cheers you up too.and hope mummys day is lovely! Im feeling a bit of baby shopping in order for me.

Hope all other girls have a wonderful weekendand are doing well with bumps!!

Ive gotten super excited all of a suden! But do any of you know what you wear to breastfeed in public. I plan to buy a wrap /cover. But what top and bra do you buy so that i dont get all flustered getting my boobs out in public haa! ?!
( maybe a weird question lol)

xxxxx

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

I'm not going to feed in public, only because I'm not comfortable with all the negative reactions people seem to have. I am getting a wrap/cover to use when I'm at my mums or the in laws. Personally I'm not really comfortable with covering my child while she feeds :-/ maybe I'm the only one that feels this bit I just don't want my baby's face and head covered, I want to watch her and look in her eyes and soothe her .......... U can get tops and nursing bras that just unclip so u can feed

 

[mum2b410]

Hi Lottie! Thank u!

Re bf- last time I bought some cheap cami type tops to wear under normal tops and pulled the outer top up and the cami top down so that way I was pretty much covered! It does take a bit of practice tho! I used nursing bras with the clip tops too. U could buy nursing tops but they r pretty pricey iny experience so I only had a couple! Other than that use a pashmina or large muslin to cover up whilst u get latched on etc!

I wasn't v confident at feeding in public last time I have to admit! Gonna try much harder this time xx

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

I don't mind expressing it and using a bottle instead while we are out x

 

[lottielou]

I found a cover my sil has that has like a wide hole that mum and baby can see each other and all the rest of it but noone else can peek!. I ddidnt feed in public at all. But i was embarassed going into other rooms. And im going to make such an effort this time. I want to be able to sit with people. I admit i wasnt comfortable last ti.e at all but i will do it. If it kills me.

My sil does it and i think wow. You cant even tell shes feeding him. But from her position she can see her lb feeding and she still gets that close bond of looking at each other.

I feel personally its important for my personal confidence to do it. But i admit im bloody terifoed and scared about breastfeeding!!

Thanks for the tip mum2b i will have a look and find some!!

Xxxx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Thank you lottielou , me too

I BF in public no probs and never felt umcomfortable about it, most of the time I had normal tops on and just discreetly pulled them up and held baby close so nobody could see any flesh , there are some really great feeding tops in the high street though if you prefer them , like h&m etc xxx

 

[mum2b410]

Omg! I had the most horrific dream about having my little boy last night! Woke up trying to scream and crying coz it was so awful I won't share the details coz I don't want to upset anyone but please God I don't want to have another dream like that! Not the best start to the weekend :-/
