****July 2018 Mummies - Tri 2****

[Shanivy]

Honestly I am counting days down for this winter to end!! I want spring... I want warm sun... I want to be able to go for a walk and enjoy it! I want the colds to be over!!! Only few more months...

Oh Shan I can't believe you are still having sickness, that sucks I think you are definitely having a boy lol. Hope DH doesn't share the bacteria! x

I am celebrating a little victory with DD... Last night was 4th time in a row when I was able to leave her in bed after 10min of cuddles, say good night and actually walk away from her room without her crying!! This is such a big thing for me after having to stay with her until she fell asleep and then knowing she would wake up and cry for me after 1.5hr max! I hope this lasts... I still go back to her room at night as she dreams a lot and wakes up looking for me but one step at the time x

Aww that's fantastic!! Hopefully a few more days of it and she'll be set! It's so hard to begin with but she sounds like she's coping brilliantly. I still go back to DDs room too when she wakes and she's almost 4, but I think that's fine as they're still young really and they need us.

Sickness isn't as bad as before but I was sick before my scan yesterday. It's sort of comforting...a little lol. With dd it was so different, this one has to be a boy! Lol

Oh and I hate winter too, especially with all the winter bugs for the kids to catch! Though I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy the summer being so heavily pregnant haha! Xx

 

[KHTW]

Lol good point!!! I am saving all my holidays up so I can leave work sooner and spend my days sitting in the garden while DD plays outside (yeah right!) x

 

[PeanutButter]

I liked being pregnant in the summer with dd. Last year was one of the hottest years to. The only thing that botherd me was the sweat lol. X

 

[Shanivy]

Dd was born in January so I just spent winter toasty warm complaining about the heating being on haha. I remember walking home from bonfire night with my coat off and everyone had hats and scarves on.

I hate sweating. Think I'll be miserable then lol. What is labour like in hot weather?

 

[JemRose]

I'm okay today thanks, the pessary and cream feels like it has started to work.

I'm back to work today and I feel absolutely awful, my ear is still bad and the antibiotics are making me feel so sick as soon as I take them. Last week I struggled to keep them down, being sick after taking them. I really don't feel like they're making any difference and been on them for 2 weeks now! I really don't feel like I should be at work, but my manager is already telling me she needs to have a chat about my sickness.... ugh I really don't need this!!! Needless to say nobody has covered me in my absence so I'm drowning in work. Today is not a good day

 

[Shanivy]

Sorry Jem sounds like you're having a rough time of it lately.

I'm not sure if your infection can be classed as pregnancy related but check with doc. Any absences for pregnancy have to be separated. You can't be disciplined for sick leave to do with being pregnant. She'll need to suck it up. Why did she not have anyone covering for you?

Hopefully, at least, the thrush will improve hun. Might need to go back about your ear though if it's really not improving at all xx

 

[JemRose]

Yeah don't think it can be pregnancy related. So annoying. And they never cover me, even if I'm on holiday I get no cover
Yeah think I'll have to go back to GP about my ear x

The fact that nobody was covering for you is their fault not yours. I'd get myslef to GP and ask to be signed off for a week or two. Any infection is bad for your body and right now your body is growing another human. The fact that antibiotics are not doing anything for you is worrying. Go see your GP and forget work, they will have to deal x

Me too!! DD was born start of October so I was like a whale all of the summer lol but I didn't mind. I can't remember sweating either. This year we will actually get our babies at the start of summer so fresh air and loads of walks for us x

They have air con and fans lol. I was fine I love being warm hate the cold so was perfect heh. Plus if your hot put a Hosp gown on and don't tie it, get air to your back lol.

 

[PeanutButter]

Jem, I think it would be classed because you can't take stronger anti biotics cos your pregnant! Ugh they obviously need you so they won't get rid of you dw

Snap! Hate being cold! I remember Hospital was very toasty and while all the other pregnant ladies were fanning themselves with magazines, standing next to Dyson fans or practically hanging out the windows I was in 7th heaven haha

 

[PeanutButter]

LMAO. While in labour they kept checking me temp and was really high so kept putting really cold flannels on my head, when they left took it off LMAO

You are so right, but I'm so worried about being off more and losing my job :/ I know if I get a note from the GP they can't contest it, but it's so worrying lol x

 

[JemRose]

When does this whole warming up thing start? I am freezing cold all of the time, I always have cold hands, cold legs, cold everything lol. I keep putting my hand on my stomach where it's firmed up and that's always cold too, I worry about baby being cold x

 

[Shepherdess]

I'm boiling all the time and it's so annoying. usually my husband is the warm one and I like cuddling up to him but atm I can't cuddle him in bed without feeling suffocated

it just makes me feel gross. tbh I feel pretty gross anyway, my books are massive right now but not in a nice perky way, my nipples are huge to. my husband is lovely and says he loves them and is excited to enjoy them but I feel so unattractive right now.

last time I was heavily pregnant in April and it was gorgeous weather. I stopped working at 37 weeks to help look after oh and our lambimg time staff but spent pretty much 4 weeks sitting in the garden. it was heaven. hoping for the same again as DD loves the garden

 

[JemRose]

Me too Shepherdess, I feel gross as anything. Went for a meal last night with my family and someone took a pic of my niece who was next to me ... all I can see is a horrible stomach poking out hate it, I don't look pregnant just extra fat

 

[KHTW]

My OH commented yesterday that my belly was poking out now, and he is right. I look properly pregnant now. But I don't mind. I love having a belly.

My work now knows that I am pregnant but I told one of my male colleagues yesterday since he was on hols and he said to me 'no wonder you are glowing' which was so unexpected and sweet!! I am not glowing. But it was nice to hear that.

I am really really really waiting on my energy to come back! Everything else I can put up with x

 

[JemRose]

Wish I was glowing!! Got infections left right and centre and I just look like shit haha. Ear infection, thrush, think I'm getting a cold today

 

[Shepherdess]

aw KHTW that's a lovely comment to get! I agree with you I do love my little bump just the boobs I'm not enjoying. yesterday I had on a bra, vest, top and jumper and you could still see my nipples. I put some breast pads in to go out for lunch

really hoping after another year of breast feeding I can lose a little extra weight and tone up and hopefully get them down to a C cup

aw Jem I really do feel for you. have you rang the GP?
