*****August 2014 Mummies*****

What are you expecting when they test the mum2b? Hopefully they can try something else anyway to at least make it a bit better. Sounds terrible. By the time your hols are over you will be quite close at least.

I've been watching my teenage cousin and his mad dog his weekend. Been fine though to be honest. How has your weekend been?

Don't know really Alan! Still don't have my haemoglobin level from 28 weeks! My baseline in January was 11.8 so think that's OK but lower side of normal even then........ If my levels haven't picked up from the 28 week bloods I think they will just up my iron dose and c how I go?

My weekend has been ok- got a few more bits from hospital bag Saturday and went out for a hen do meal Saturday night- nice but felt v full v quickly and didn't manage more that two thirds of my dinner, no starter or pudding!..... Today got our food shop done and just been trying my best to play with Ethan and do some chores but hubby has done most of it!

Got bloods tomorrow, CBT Wednesday and mw Friday this week- so a fair few appointments! Need to keep getting bits ready for holiday and baby and keep my little man entertained! Makes me tired just thinking if it all.......now if I could just get comfy and go to sleep......! Xxx
 
Morning all.

Hating my pregnancy pillow this morning. Rolled over to left in night went to lift leg over the pillow so it would go between both legs and was hit with an excruciating pain behind my knee. Tried to stretch leg out and couldn't and then very bad pains starting radiating from knee in waves every 30 seconds, just like contractions they'd intensify then stop. Ive never felt anything like it, woke OH up who thought something was wrong with baby as I was crying. Thankfully it passed, think it must have been muscle cramps from too much DIY in day. It now makes me wonder how I'm going to cope with contractions if I was in a state just after that.

Off to docs in an hour to talk itching, might mention leg thing incase it happens again.
 
Oooh I hate the leg cramps, I get them after a long shift at work. My hubby thought I'd gone into labour the first time they happened. Then your leg feels tender all day.

In other news,.... Has anyone elses boobs started leaking? Mine did yesterday, makes it feel like I'm actually going to have a baby, but is a bit gross.
 
Ouch! Cramps can b really nasty :-/

Boob leaking- happened a while back now, just some moist residue and a few spots in bra, wore breast pads for little while but it eased off again and now I just get a dry white substance round my nipples at the end of the day- not a lot though!.... Its weird coz I never got it last time! X
 
Morning all, much better night's sleep last night thankfully. Had some sort of viral thing the last couple of days but feeling much better today, just going to take it easy. Got the whooping cough vaccine booked for this afternoon but I am going to postpone it as don't need it on top of the virus I have had. How did you feel after you had it done?

No boob leakage yet, just dry whitish stuff occasionally - isn't it glam!
 
Hello ladies!
Hope you're all well?
Not sleeping well at the mo, grr. Good job Im no longer at work! My maternity leave officially started today!
Have a week off with the OH this week - todays plan is to drag him shopping for hospital bag essentials! Fun fun lol.
Seriously forgot how much we need to take!!

No boob leakage here yet! :)
 
Having a lazy here today feeling totally shattered again. Appear to have a stinking cold too!

Was hoping to get out shopping for some bits of my list but oh well.

No boob leakage here yet - not looking forward to that lol.

Donnah - had my wc jab on thurs and other than painful arm for a day or two no other issues.
Happy84- whoop whoop to your mat leave starting.
 
Donnah- hope u feel better soon! After jab I had sore arm for quite a few days (bad for 2 days then not so bad) But whether it was a coincidence or not I got this phlegmy cough the day afterwards that lasted well past a week!! So I think def postpone it just incase! They say its a dead vaccine though and the side effects r minimal but it was a big coincidence and I know someone else that felt the same!

Happy- congrats on official mat leave! :-)
Enjoy your week off and going shopping!

HanSam- feeling so knackered too :-/ Hope your cold clears up soon!

I'm so scatty right now I hate it!! Usually so organised :-/ Went to get my bloods done earlier and forgot my notes!! Had to rush back home and grab them and rush back- with Ethan in tow as well!! So annoyed with myself! Keep doing stupid stuff! I find myself going into rooms and not even knowing what I went in for!! Grrr! Anyone else? Xx
 
Don't think that's too early hun.....u can start it gradually and do it bit by bit until u r done- at least its then ready in time and u won't have to worry about it!..... Last time I did repack mine several times- but that's coz Ethan was soooo late and I was bored/forgot what I had put in it! Lol! X
 
afternoon ladies & alan. Boob leakage here sounds exactly like Mum2Bs, just little drips and white residue on right boob - left boob is not playing ball at all so wondering if it'll cooperate when its needed?

Got some menthol aqueous cream from docs and my bloods taken to check for OC, so least I'll know tomorrow if it's that, but I don't think my symptoms are severe enough for it reading from other people's experiences.

Bought a few more bits and pieces in town today, got some nice organic baby washing products / lotion - should last a while. Also got some shorts and a floaty summer top in H&M maternity section, might take shorts back though, despite them being 2 sizes bigger than my normal size I wear they're still a bit tight.

Been searching but still haven't found a nice going home outfit for bubs. I don't want anything too fussy like an outfit, just a a nice baby grow - seen lots of nice ones for girls! Anyone bought something special for their little one?

Waiting for OH to get home from work, despite us both supposed to be off work this week he's had to go in to sort out some contracts that his new team members couldn't deal with. Least he might be able to add a day to end of his pat leave to make up for it. Booked hotel in north wales for thurs night for a little mini break, just hope weather stays nice - I'm not holding my breath!
 
Everything went well at hospital today. GTT was fine just a boring process, got to have our fetal assessment in between but then once the GTT was done we had to wait for the consultant who had me down for tomorrow not today!!! Argh!! Booked us in for antenatal classes and 34 week scan which is only just over a month away.... Eeeek!!

I'm not doing my hospital bag until 34 weeks at the earliest x
 
Hi all! Also feeling very tired and heavy now. Disent help that I've developed varicose veins on my groin which mSkes standing and walking very uncomfortable. Will be glad when this baby finally arrives!

I didn't go mad with my hospital bag last time and only packed it once I was on mat leave at 36 weeks. You don't actually need much, the lists I have seen going around seem so long! I ended up in for 3 days but got hubby to bring me in a few bits and pieces when he came in as needed.

Happy cant believe your on mat leave, it makes it seem very real! I'm not getting maternity leave as I work for myself so will just be taking it a bit easier for 2 weeks and then will need to get back to normal. Not quite sure how I'll manage to do the school run, look after bubs and work but guess it'll work out somehow!! X
 

Very handy list, I feel like getting it ready just now. I should maybe let the wife do it though I don't want to face the wrath of a woman in labour for forgetting something.

For the stuff you need, does it make any difference how far you are from hospital? We are like 10 mins away. Not sure if I will be there all the time or if I get sent home.
