May 2018 Mummies Trimester 3!

Oh yeah the contractions are by far the worst bit. the pushing part i could do all day. At least you know something is happening. The contractions you just feel in this horrible timewarp where pain keeps coming and nothing appears to be happening. I also have only ever used gas and air and i dont think it does an awful lot. But I dont react very well to a lot of medications and i would not like to risk a bad reaction and also they have an effect on the baby and how soon you can get out of hospital . I know i am fine immediately after delivery so i wouldnt like to take something that means i'm dozy for hours or anything. The thought of an epidural doesnt appeal as i would be concerned that it slows things down leading to more likely having a forceps birth etc. So I am just hoping the contractions pain is not so bad as last time. My first birth the pushing part was 15 mins and the second 5 mins so i'm pretty confident with that part lol. Its just the contractions that have me terrified.........!

Ps nice name Miguelita! I'm sure you will be overjoyed with your little boy. i always only wanted girls and my first was a girl. I was devastated when i found out my 2nd was a boy for some complicated reasons but sincehe was born I have been enjoying him so much i have been a bit jealous of you girls expecting boys!!

I'm a bit scared of the thought of having a boy I'm so used to a girl , we would certainly need to be quicker at nappy changing if we have a boy lol

 

[GBLiz]

i have NEVER been peed on by my little boy...

My cousin gets peed on all time with her little boy and has been pooped on, she says pretty much every time she goes to change him mid cleaning him he wees little bugger she puts a finger across his willy now so it doesn’t shoot up if he does it

That's why I wanted to go natural so that the medicine doesn't affect baby and also so I bounce back quicker after birth. I hope your contractions aren't too bad this time and I'm praying I make it through my first round of contractions ever lol

My partner says it means son of god or god's son He is our little blessing! I love the name as it's unique but not difficult to spell or pronounce. That's what we're looking for in a name.

Thank you I can't wait to meet him. I thought I would've been sad when I found out he was a boy but I was still happy. lol I'm jealous of you! You have a boy and a girl I hope my next baby is a girl so I can have a mini version of me. But I heard boys tend to be mama's boys so I'm looking forward to that. I have no experience with either since this is my first child so I'm excited about baby boy coming in May.

 

[miguelita426]

I've been told to hold the diaper (nappie) over his little winkie until I'm ready to swap it out to avoid the misfire of pee lol This is my first baby so I don't have experience with either boy or girl. I will keep that in mind but I hope he doesn't pee on me lol

boys are definitely Mummys boys. Mine is still stuck to my hip and he's 4 in June. My little girl is 5 and she's miss independent although she does love her cuddles

 

[claire_louise9]

My little lady is defiently a mummies girls , she goes to daddy for playing and mummy for cuddles and to feed her lol

Urgh! Just had my gestational diabetes test, starving myself wasn’t the worst, it was being stabbed 6 times with needles, curse my tiny little deep veins! It took 3 midwives 6 tries to get the blood from me. Are there lots of needles during labour? Really hoping not!

Oh no sparrow you have been a pin cushion this morning then. I'm not saying a word of what needles I had or attempted to fit in me when in was in labour

Have everyone had there whooping cough vaccine yet? I've been trying to book it but I've been ill for the past 2 and half weeks and I'm still not better but it's booked in for next Friday .

Were you at high risk of GD? Sounds horrible!

No needles in my labours, i'm not sure which pain relief needs needles? only epidural?

I'm starting to have troulble sleeping. Perfectly tired until i go to bed then my brain wakes up and baby starts doing somersaults...
