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

[caseysmummy11]

Also forgot to add I had the craziest dream this morning, that I had babies both healthy and weighing over 4lb but they were both boys which don't get me wrong it wouldn't bother me if they were I was more worried that I had nothing really suitable for them to wear and couldn't take any of the pink back to swap as id removed all the tags! so im not sure if that's a sign I need to buy a few neutral bits just in case lol. They check as every scan and ive seen myself that there's definitely jo boy parts lol. It was really vivid and im more gutted that ive woken up and they haven't actually been born yet lol xxx

 

[Durhamchance]

Those dreams always mess with your head Casey, it's probably something at the back of your mind wondering if they've been wrong at each scan. You could always buy a couple of white sleepsuits to take with you if it makes you feel better?

I've had two dreams about giving birth now and one was a girl and one was a boy! Just shows I have no idea at all FIL made me laugh the other day and made the statement that we obviously knew the sex of the baby and are just keeping it to ourselves! I had to swear right there and then that we categorically did not know lol!

 

[Mayflower85]

There seems to a bit of a baby boom on my Facebook at the min, everyone's giving birth! All the newborn pics are making me emotional. I can't wait to see and hold my babby girl!

 

[caseysmummy11]

Yeah I think I might get some Durham. Im going to ask them to double check again today if they can lol. Don't get me wrong id love 2 more boys but ive gotten used to the idea and named my two girls and feel like I've bonded with them.

I can't wait to see their little faces now mayflower, so I know exactly what you mean. I want them to stay in and be healthier before they come but at the same time I want to cuddle them in my arms and see what my little boy thinks of them, he can't wait to be a hig brother so it will be interesting to see the dynamic between him and babies, as he hasn't really seen a baby since he was around 1 and a half when both of his cousins were born. He was very good and loved cuddles with them then so hope he's the same now. Xxx

I don't think I've had a bad pregnancy, I have uncomfortable and tired days, but generally I feel pretty good. I don't know if we'll be able to have another so I want to make the most of it, and obviously I want her to be born healthy and at full term, but I just can't wait to see her.

 

[NatEvz]

Not had chance to catch up properly yet. But I hope everyone is well. My little boy has woken this morning covered in chicken pox. Great timing for the Easter holidays. I have my 34 week midwife appt tomorrow. I'll get down on bended knee and beg her for something better to help with this acid. Drinking the gaviscon they prescribed me like it's going out of fashion and having to take rennies or gaviscon tablets in between sometimes too. Bit of SPD kicking in now but apart from that I'm enjoying my pregnancy still xxx

 

[bigbee]

Flosi, that's hilarious but sorry you have to wait another day

Jessie, enjoy shopping!!! I'm stopping myself from buying anything now. Well, apart from a few crib sheets that we actually need.

Speaking of baby dreams. I had one the other day where I gave birth to a white baby!!! Was absolutely gob smacked and devastated that the baby wasn't brown haha (basically there is noway my partner and I can produce a white baby that's why I was so upset!!!)....

The week is slowly going past... Cannot wait for the weekend as I need to catch up with sleep!

 

[caseysmummy11]

Hello ladies, back from my scan and appointment. Babies are weighing 3lb 11oz and 3lb 7oz and hopefully have my date in a couple of days. They're going to ring me and let me know for definite it will be between the 24th and 1st depending on the diary of the hospital. So hopefully can finally start to get sorted! Im excited to find out now! I know the sonographer was slightly concerned as baby bs tummy hadn't grown much but i explained about the steroids and she said it was probably a growth spurt she had last time and she's just leveled out now. So im going to try to keep eating lots of healthy foods and pregnacare to see if she catches up again but there not much out of each other xxx

 

[Elliott]

Aww all sounds great casey excellent stuff and look forward to hearing when your date will be! X

 

[buttonbear]

So so tired today, still managed to go out with MIL and little man had a nice day even though i STILL have heartburn!! Jessie I'm normally on meds for a stomach ulcer but Dr wont give me anything else.

caseysmummy glad babies are doing well!!

 

[blueeyes34]

Hi All,

Thanks fot the advice re swelling Button, Tashawink, durhamchance

Sorry to hear you had such a bad night with heartburn Buttonbear

Hope you have a better night with your little boy tonight Durhamchance

Flosi did you have some retail therapy in the end today?

Jessie your SPD sounds awful, my back pain is getting me donw, but is nothing compared to what you are having to cope with.

Hope you're not feeling quite so exhausted now caseysmummy. Glad your appointment went well.

NatEvz hope your little boy gets over his chickenpox quickly

Bigbee we all seem to be having strange dreams at the moment. I dreamt that my milk had come in and my nipples had little caps on them like a sports bottle lid, but as soon as the caps came off the milk was squirting across the room and hitting the walls ha ha very strange!!

I had some blood test at 10 this morning and by 3pm had a call saying I need to collect prescription for Iron. Went to collect it this afternoon but pharmacist said there is a manufacturers problem with what I had been prescribed and doctor would need to prescribe me something else, so got to collect it tomorrow now.

Still suffering with very swollen feet. Think It's going to have to be OH's flip flops for work tomorrow.

Got my growth scan and consultant appointment tomorrow. Hope all is ok.

Night night all xx

Some of our May babies will most likely be April Babies...cannot wait to see who will be blessed first! So As it is Officially April (a few minutes past midnight) they will start arriving this month!

And MOST of us will have our babies by the end of next month!

 

[Durhamchance]

I was thinking exactly the same this morning Tasha, we really are on the final stretch now.

I want to say we had a better night, we didn't think we would as Blake had been crying every hour or so since 7pm by the time we went to bed. He actually slept through after that but I was awake every few hours on my own I got up at 5:30 as I'd had enough and I'm feeling really rough now.

My cat is acting very strange around me and sat with her paw on my bump earlier- I've asked her if she knows something I dont?

 

[Elliott]

Morning also was think this month could get interesting!

What does hiccups feel like? I'm getting what almost feels like a heartbeat in my bump it's really odd, had it last night in early hours and just started again. It's quite quick, once every few seconds ish.

[Mayflower85]

I've had two days annual leave this week, but back to work today! it's been so nice just pottering around at home. Roll on the 17th April!

 

[Flosi]

Morning!

Unfortunately no shopping for me yesterday, although the way I feel at the moment a couple of days doing nothing won be a bad thing! Currently getting up 4-5 times a night to go to the toilet, driving me mad.

Hope everyone else is ok.

It is all getting scarily close now, I'm very excited for everyone and look forward T sharing the last leg of everyone's journey!

 

[Durhamchance]

That does sound like hiccups Elliott, it's usually a rhythmic sensation down low (if baby is head down of course)

I also finish work this month! 18th April can't come fast enough

 

[Elliott]

Thanks durham, is rythmic but not that low down and she was head down last week, Hmm we will see

Exactly a month until I finish work now on 1st may. Can't wait!

Whooping cough jab today and s trip to the vets for the bunny rabbit.

Urgh, my step cousin? Has posted an April fools pregnancy announcement on Facebook and is trying to deny its a joke. She gave herself away by saying its a boy due in November and somebody else has pointed out that if it's due in November she wouldn't know the sex yet.

There were loads of posts yesterday stating what bad taste it is to fake a pregnancy announcement, but these seem to have passed her by.

Luckily I've not seen anything like this yet today, I don't find them funny at all.
