**March 2012 Babies**

[BevG]

i got a piece of paper in my booking in bounty pack off the mw with a label on it and invite to classes which i had to give her back later on if i wanted to go , then at like 25 weeks she asked about it and i gave it back....

I'm doing the nct ones as well as a water birth one by parent craft on Saturday they are definitely useful and really help you feel more in control, which is a big thing fir me as I'm a bit of a control freak!!

Bev surely they should have been in touch by now? Xx

 

[TashaWink]

i was booked in for mine at my booking in app. and they start next month (i believe) i will have to check with midwife as she said she'd talk about it more closer to the time.

I have mine with my midwife at our local hospital on the 28th Feb, then the week after we go for a tour of the hospital.

I'm not that fussed about going as I am really trying to have a positive outlook, and think about a water birth and hypnobirthing.

 

[BevG]

im asking my lateast MW on thursday next week at my app

I was just having a little look at my bump (and surrounding areas) and can offically say i have started to get stretch marks. They're not completely obvious yet and are on my hips. I first started to notice my hips were looking rather redish/purple about a week ago and just knew i'd be getting some. i think i have a few on my boobs too but not too sure really! Again its not that noticable! BUT i have 8 weeks left for them to grow!

I had a right little panic about 2 weeks ago about getting them but that passed!

How is everyone else with the stretchmark issue? Have you got them? are you worried about getting them?

 

[Nonabean]

I've got six super visible stretch marks from being overweight before I got pregnant. But fortunately so far I don't seem to have any new ones.

My Antenatal classes start on Monday. xx

 

[BevG]

ive got loads of stretchmarks on my tummy from being a fat cow , there are 2 on the top of my bump that have lil red bits on the end of them where they have stretched a tiny bit more but apart from that no new ones but really i think my tum was flabby and stretched enough for any baby to start with lol

 

[TashaWink]

Are you having the NHS ante-natals or private?

 

[wannabmummy]

I've got mega stretch marks!! Ie been putting stretch mark cream an bio oil on since the day I found out I was pregnant and still got my first stretch mark at 22 weeks!!! I don't mind too much because I know I tried to prevent them and couldn't, so at least I tried! Here's a pic of my stretch marks, just hoping they don't get a lot worse!! Xx

 

[TORino]

I'm gutted about my stretchmarks.

You cant see them just yet with the naked eye but they are there.

I knew my skin wasnt very stretchy cos I already have them but I was hoping my daily moisturising routine would have saved me.

 

[Rachel1509]

I've got stretchmarks, but none whatsoever on my tummy! I've got them on my boobs and a few smallish ones on my left bum cheek! I've got quite a few marks around my hip thigh area that look like veins to me, depresses me when I look at them but not end of the world I suppose ey! I keep rubbing cocoa butter and stretch mark cream on myself daily, in hope it's gonna work (but it doesn't really I don't think!)

Started with RLT today - it's rank!

 

[Esperanza84]

I haven't got strechmarks yet but they're probably just around the corner. At least we'll Get some beautifull babies - so it'll be worth it!! I'm so glad it's weekend now! Will relax and visit some friends tomorrow.

What Are you doing this weekend ladies?

Ps: will try rlt now - for the first time

 

[hugsy]

my stretch marks are mostly on my ass hips and back but starting to getthem on
my belly now i think, my skin feels so tight now dont think there much room for growing baby so expecting to end up with
lots more

 

[Nurse 26]

I dont have any stretchmarks on my bump yet or any new ones but have loads from when i was younger on my legs and hips, they are pretty fadded though so im hoping the ones i will get will fade like that.

When they go silver you can hardly see them, my skin is so itchy at the moment.

not up to much this weekend esperanza, having chilled day with hubby on his day off tomorrow and then cinema i think

 

[Rachel1509]

Ps: will try rlt now - for the first time

Verdict?

 

[TashaWink]

If my belly ends up like wannab I'll be happy because I think it looks fine! My sisters got LOADS and I really didn't want to look like that!

I've not really thought about the rlt.

 

[Applecider]

I am tempted but you can't have the normal tea bags? Is that correct? Do you have to actually get the leaf from a herbalist?!

Congrats Bev! xx

 

[wannabmummy]

Aww thanks A2M. I don't mind it so much anymore - just hoping I don't end up looking like a road map at the end of it all xx

 

[Esperanza84]

Nurse26: relaxing and cinema sounds great! Going to the cinema is really a lot of fun! I Think that will be something I'll put on my plan for NeXT week

Ac: I Think you have to buy it from a herbalist, but am not sure.

My verdict of rlt: not the best tea I've had, but it's drinkable! So will continue with it

Many of our babies Are the size of a squash now - how cool is that?? it!!!!
