***** May 2015 Mummies to be *****

[buttonbear]

Yes me me I'm watching OBEM i just love it

Is anyone starting or started on the RLT yet? Or planning to?

 

[bigbee]

RLT?

 

[caseysmummy11]

Raspberry leaf tea? I haven't started not sure If I plan on it as didn't use it last time, what does it do? Xxx

 

[buttonbear]

Yeah sorry its raspberry leaf tea, it tones the uterus mainly which helps during and after labour

 

[Durhamchance]

I'm taping OBEM, I was eating my tea and didn't think it would be a good idea to watch just yet!

I started on RLT at 37 weeks last time as I was told it could start labour off. Not that it did!

 

[Elliott]

I'm still not in a place where I can watch OBEM, not sure I ever will be!

Yoga class tonight seemed to trigger done more movement so feeling positive but also still pleaded to have the follow up check tomorrow.

What's the old wives tale about leg hair relating to the babies sex? I realised today that I've not shaved mine for about ten days, but there's nothing on them! It's stopped growing lol x

 

[Mayflower85]

I've not heard that one Durham!

 

[caseysmummy11]

They say with boys you need to shave more often I think Durham. The position I have to get in to shave my legs is hilarious. I can't stand to do it as it hurts my hip so I have to do it in the bath and get my leg over they side of the bath, luckily mine aren't growing very much, I do feel like saying stuff it and leaving it til babies are here though.
Might have to start taking some rlt if they help after birth too as I had a uterine infection last time so maybe it would help things go back to normal better! When's the best time to start taking them?

I loved obem, I really want to these last few weeks to fly past now so I can see my girls! Xxx

 

[buttonbear]

Yeah girl = less hair growth, boy = more hair growth(apparently as more testosterone?!

Durham I've only had 2 shave 3 times so far this pregnancy!! Haha

 

[Elliott]

I'd not really thought about it but yeah my legs aren't all that hair really, not compared to what they can be like...Hmm wonder if there is something in it

 

[TashaWink]

My leg hair is hardly there and I'm having a boy...I couldn't actually tell you the last time I shaved (I think I had a quick buzz over 4 weeks ago)

Had my 28 midwife appointment today. Got there and they asked if I had drunk lucozade for the test. I hadn't been told anything, I was told I wouldn't be having the test but on my booking in notes it says yes. So ended up having the glucose test and I actually really enjoyed the drink, I usually hate it.
Urine fine, measuring 28weeks and they couldn't decide how baby was lying - as he was like a ball (I'm still certain he's head down) I had a trainee - which I actually love to have. Everyone needs to learn somewhere.

My hip is hurting so much! I've been walking and swimming and yet there just no easing it. Calling chiropractor up and hopefully they'll be able to sort it. I miss being able to click where it hurts!

 

[Mayflower85]

I woke up in the night and my boob felt a bit wet, didn't think much of it so rolled over and went back to sleep. This morning there's a lovely damp patch on the sheet! Leaky boobs (or one at least) have arrived lol.

 

[bigbee]

Morning All.

Tasha, sore hips are annoying! I get sore groin, usually in the evening/night. Seems ok during the day.

Whoopsy, mayflower... Leaky boobs don't sound fun.

I had calf cramps last night. A bit sore. I've had lift ones for a couple of weeks, but last night they were a little painful. Was able to stretch the legs out without fully waking up. I think I will start to stretch my legs before I go to bed. Hate how everything has seized up since I've stopped working out Anyone else getting these??

 

[buttonbear]

YES bigbee major leg/calf cramps!! Had a bad one where it stuck in spasm!!

 

[Durhamchance]

I had a leg cramp this morning! I had to jump out of bed and put weight on it for it to stop. Jumping out of bed isn't easy right now either lol!

I think I might be slightly bonkers girls, I'm entering my next cat show at the end of April when I'll be 36+5 it's an hour from home and a day long event. I'm trying to be practical, so have researched the nearest hospital with a maternity unit, I won't be going alone and have made provisions for the cat should we have to leave quickly. I'll take my hospital bag and notes too obviously. Is there anything I'm forgetting? Should the worst come to the worst there is a team of vets at the venue on the day lol

 

[cers123]

Durham im the exact same. Hardly any hair to shave and i remember with my son being super hairy lol and normally i would have d shave more often pre pregnancy...

How r ur hormones at the moment girl?... im starting to feel like a crazy woman. I woke this morning and was crying for like half an hour just feeling relatively shitty and hormonal x

 

[Mayflower85]

Durham, it sounds like you've thought it all through! And at least it's only an hour from home rather than 3 or 4. My best friend is a vetinary nurse, we've been joking that she's used to delivering dogs and cats so if I get caught short she'll manage fine lol.

It's my grandad's 85th birthday the weekend before our due date, and all the family are having a big BBQ at my aunts house. It's about two hours away from home. Think I'll decide closer to the time!

Awful leg cramps here too, I can usually stretch it off in bed and it's ok, but I had an awful one the other night. My OH had to get up and help me stretch it out as I just couldn't get rid of it. My leg ached for about 2 days after!

 

[buttonbear]

Mayflower that was exactly same as me, it ached for ages after!

Durham I'd agree and say you've thought of everything, fxd nothing starts lol! Bit off topic here but you should get Darcy into cat commercials?! (Just watched a sheba advert haha made me think)

 

[Durhamchance]

Aww Button, she's gorgeous, but I don't think she has the personality for commercials she can be very standoffish with strangers and growls if she sees people walk past our house! Showing suits her perfectly, who wouldn't want to spend a day on display with everyone commenting on how beautiful you are and awarding you prizes for it?!

Hormonal here too, I feel like a right beast as I seem to be spending my day shouting at Blake everywhere is a mess, nobody helps, I look like crap, aargh! Isn't pregnancy wonderful
