July 2017 mummies to be.

[JulyBug]

Sounds lovely! I have had a bit of a chilled day too and my OH bought me an Indian, yummy

I have my 24wk midwife appointment tomorrow, looking forward to hearing him again! I'm hoping we'll start going over things abit more now as we haven't really discussed anything in detail yet! She just does all the little tests and takes measurements and that's usuallly it! xx

I think I'm going to insist on a re-do of Mother's Day next week

Ooh me so bad haha I've begun ordering squishs Christmas presents! He chose them himself when we had a look applejack from my little pony and an animation classic belle doll he saw one in Tesco on Friday and loved it so I've done that and he's got a kitchen set coming too I'm so bad for doing it now but it's Christmas stuff though I may get him the belle doll for his birthday xxx

 

[JulyBug]

That is prepared!! Christmas is the last thing on my mind ATM lol well done you though!

Midwife appointment went well this morning, lots of movement and heartbeat sounds good... scarey to think at my next appointment I'll be in the third tri!

I'm also having my whooping cough jab this afternoon!

I think I'm going to insist on a re-do of Mother's Day next week

Because it was so good? Or a total washout?!

A friend of mine was woken up by her kids fighting over who was going to bring her breakfast, and her day ended with both children in floods of tears because they didn't like the restaurant she had chosen to go to as her Mother's Day treat.

All this joy is ahead of me, eh?

 

[CoolNoMore]

Unngh my stomach is still stabby and my braces got tightened today...I would happily do very bad things to ve allowed some ibuprofen right now. Grump grump grump.

 

[SalisburyMum]

I've just signed up to a camping trip... On the 28th June (I'm due on the 22nd July. Must be mad

You're a bit bonkers haha but have fun I haven't been camping in years! Xxx

I LOVE camping. Have an amazing tent

It's not like a crappy two man tent that's from Argos and leaks? I remember waking up to a nice warm puddle in our tent! Turns out it was heavy rain haha I want one of those tree tents the ones you can have off the ground that'd be awesome xxx

It's a pretty uber tent!!

Total wash out. Woke up very uncomfortable in Southampton and had to pay an extra £20 to get home

Husband out painting a house all day

Children fighting

Then the dog rolled in a WORLD of fox shit that I had to deal with not good!

 

[CoolNoMore]

Fucking hell, I hate being pregnant. I just had a total meltdown and heard myself explain to my husband that I was sorry but I couldn't kill myself until after the baby was born, as though that's what he wants. He's fucking terrified, I'm a fucking wreck, july can't come soon enough.

Don't worry, I phoned the mental health team earlier, but they didn't pick up. I've left a message, will phone back tomorrow morning. I regret all of today. Today was a total, destructive waste.

Yep, that's sounds like a total washout! Sigh. Maybe Mother's Day is like New Year's eve, destined to be a total disappointment?!

Oh, nothing legitimate! My phone turned itself off in the middle of the night so no alarns went off in the morning. My cats normally jump on me at exactly quarter past eight, but nobody told them about daylight savings time, so they were an hour late

Combine that with Orthodontist Day, and I totally lose it, apparently. Sigh.

While I'm on a moany streak, my mother-in-law keeps offering to come to medical appointments with me. She's told me that she's happy to a few times, has told my Mum to tell me, and this weekend sent the same message via my sister-in-law. I've told her that I don't want her to, but the offers keep coming. I'm starting to think I should let her come to one, but she's an anti-vaxxer and the next one I go to is to get the whooping cough jab. Also...I don't really want her there. Do you guys bring people to appointments? OH came to the scans, but it never occured to me to bring anyone, even him, to standard midwife appointments.

 

[JulyBug]

My OH only came to the scans, I go to my midwife appointments on my own, Theres really no need to take anyone. I went to one the other week and some girl had her whole family there, I guessed mum dad and two sisters! Baring in mind there's only two seats inside and outside my midwifes office they all just stood there looking awkward!

 

[cassi]

I only take my OH to scans too. Don't think it's necessary to have people along. Just tell her you checked about people coming and they suggest you come alone or with partner but not necessary to take anyone else. I'd feel awkward taking MIL2Be(When he puts a fudging ring on it!) to an appointment.

Oh Hun I've had days like that too and don't hurt me but it is hormones it makes us so erratic I'm sending lots of healing and love xxxx

 

[JulyBug]

I think we've all had days like that.. I was so tearful on Saturday.. my poor OH thinks I'm insane. I literally cried my eyes out because he took me to Gregs (the bakery)and got me a chicken slice which wasn't warm enough.. I then burst out laughing mid hysterical tears in the car because he just looked and me like WTF, you're crying because we went to Gregs, i dont understand?? And I think I realised how insane I looked lol.. x

Desirable nappy help please girls We've decided it's time to go to cloth full time I've currently got a borrowed close pop in nappy on my son the v2, those who have used reuseable what did you find was the best? Xxx

Jakob used to have lots of different types but they were nappy then cover separately and found them really bulky. This time I've bought in tots bots all in one, they look much more compact!

I've tried tons and spent £100's on nappies.

The only ones I rate are Bumgenius flips. The waterproof outers are soft and cottony, they have a sport of large sanitary type pad that goes underneath and you can buy disposable I need so perfect for festivals and camping (outers can be washed under a tap and dried on a tent top)

They are slim fitting under clothes (I've never understood this paying loads for 'pretty nappies' that sit under clothes anyway.

They don't leak, they are easy to stuff for nighttime and they're not too expensive. I plan on buying a set of them and possibly some wrap around inners second hand for night time.


I looked T the other bum genius nappies but I'm not interested if I can't put the inners in the tumble drier and the rest on the line/over doors in the house.

This baby is kicking me like mad.

From 3-5am this morning and now again.
