****December 2014 mums to be! Christmas babies!!*****

[nikb]

What a day! So glad it's over.

I can't wait to start feeling baby move and I think it will be even more exciting when OH can feel it too. I felt something like lots of tiny bubbles popping the other night but never thought much of it as I thought it would be way too early. It's not a feeling I've had before but I know our bodies change lots so never thought it would be baby but maybe?

What has everyone bought so far for baby?

 

[Lilac14]

Goat- I'm in north London, which yoga class can you recommend?

I can't wait to start feeling the baby! I was walking around in a crop top last night as I was putting oil on my stomach and my husband was so shocked at my bump. He was like 'oh my god you're really pregnant!'. Lol It has really popped this week.

Goat, the nappies were my first proper purchase for baby I suppose. When I was ttc I bought a lot of clothes (both boy and girl stuff) and when I had my losses but this time I haven't bought clothes or anything because I want to find out the sex first. We went pram shopping at the weekend but only to work out which one we want rather than actually buy so I guess this is my 'wow we are actually going to have a tiny human in the house' purchase!

Feeling rubbish this evening. Had an awful day at work, loads of problems happening that involve me sorting them out and a totally unfounded complaint from a parent about my classes this year. Came in and fell asleep on sofa from 4-6, woke up feeling super groggy just as OH came home from work to tell me he was going straight back out again and that he will be gone ages and I should eat dinner without him. Which I got unreasonably upset about because I had expected him to mind read from me telling him earlier that is had a crap day that we'd go out for dinner (it's also Wednesday and we usually go out on Wednesday). And he was also confused by how groggy I was and not impressed with his totally random decision to go out so obviously I did the natural thing and started crying because I'm fed up and the poor guy was then totally at a loss as to what to say other than leave me alone to sulk that I feel rubbish! Some days I actually just feel like a slightly crazy person x

 

[Esperanza84]

I think I feel flutters as well. Especially in the evenings. Like small bubbles or something

 

[nikb]

Oh dear Rose! I know the feeling. I had a rubbish day at work too and having basically no voice didn't help

 

[Rose83]

Aww nik, at least I have my voice, I lost it in January for a week and it made everything so difficult so I feel your pain! Only two more weeks til the summer holidays and I literally cannot wait to be free of the place. I've been so fed up this year that I wish I could just quit! X

 

[nikb]

Lucky you. I'm in a private nursery. No holiday closures for me

 

[Baker_Baby]

Rose I had a totally irrational crying fit on my husband the other night. Knew I was going completely over the top about something insignificant but I just couldn't stop myself! Bloody hormones!

 

[Goat]

Lilac, this is the lady:

I've got a consultant appointment next week and if she says I can do it then I'm def going to go to the Saturday class.

 

[Cariad Bach]

I've had a few too so your not alone. I just warm hubby now when I'm ratty that it's not really me and I can't help it. Bless him he just says ok.

Rose order yourself a takeaway and get it delivered! Order your favourite. Wish I could do that but no takeaways in the sticks deliver for miles and miles.

I haven't bought anything yet but I almost ordered some tommee tippee bottles today, but I need to check I'm looking at right teats for use with breast feeding too. I just want to get them for expressing or emergency formulae feeding if I experience problems with it. I'm just worried that I'll need things when the shops are closed over Christmas and new year. I always have to plan ahead during winter because of where we live with nearest large town 18 miles away and there shops are limited.

I think I'll get a pack of the pampers too. Planning on going window baby shopping in few weeks to look at prams just to try and sus things out as we haven't a clue! Plus it's not often we'll get the chance to look as the better shops are 60 miles away! Luckily we can stay with family near there.

 

[Cazzie11]

I can't feel anything except a few twinges and lots of trapped wind! I think you could go crazy thinking "is that the baby?", esp if it's your first! Saying that, I'd love to feel baby just to check everything's ok!

Goat, my 20 wk scan is the 17th, is it ok if you put it up? Thanks hun! Xx

 

[Rose83]

In the end I ate some chilli I had made the other night - healthier than a takeaway at least. I'm still grumpy though! New series of one born every minute starts tonight at 9 though - no doubt I will be blubbing happy years watching that! X

 

[SaraLouise]

So glad OBEM is back! Love love love it, although it took me 8 months after having Harrison to be able to watch it again, it was all too raw before thatw.

It's being filmed in Bristol (not in the hospital I gave birth in, but one that I went to alot when I was pregnant) so it's nice recognising the midwives & even some of the couple's sometimes!

 

[Cariad Bach]

Ah yes so it is! I just don't know what I want to eat in the evenings. I could just skip food tonight altogether with this heartburn I keep getting. Nightmare and so uncomfortable

 

[Baker_Baby]

I'm waiting for OBEM too I love it! X

 

[Rose83]

This is a bit disgusting but does anyone else feel like after they have eaten that some of it is sitting stuck in your throat? I get this feeling like there is a little shelf in my throat where a lump of food is just sitting and not going down. It makes me feel like if I were to retch I would bring up a lump of food and then it would go away. I've been taking the tablets the doctor gave me to stop reflux but am still getting this weird feeling x

 

[nikb]

Sorry Rose can't say I've experienced that. It sounds very uncomfortable.

I am trying to make a list in my head of everything we are going to have to get but I really think I'll have to write it down lol. We have a few things, mainly the big stuff so really need to list all the other bits and pieces

 

[Goat]

Cazzie, I will do!!

Just watched Obem and absoloutely loved it. It's made me do excited. I just hope I get to experience labour as I didn't last time but it looks doubtful!

 

[Rose83]

I watched and was thinking, oh my god, what was I thinking how am I going to push one of them out of me! And the c section twins looked like a blood bath! I know it will all be fine really but it does look terrifying! X

 

[JaiandLeigh]

Can't wait to watch OBEM - I've recorded it as I can't stay awake past 9pm haha... & also Rosei have been getting a similar-ish thing but more a feeling like its stuck somewhere between my throat & chest and just won't go down but I just presumed it was linked to my constant sickness but maybe not?!

I'm 14 weeks tomorrow & thought my sickness may have gone it hasn't yet but I think it's easing I was very sick last night but think I are too much & prior to that I havn't been sick since Saturday (which lasted all day) but usually I'm sick everyday so this is much much better FX it stays away xx
