Viability Day 💛😍

What pram did you go for??

I'm undecided.

It is real quiet, I think we're all so busy with work & other things. Perhaps the tri 3 thread will be a bit more active.

25 weeks today for me. Not feeling the baby like I did with my daughter which is unnerving. It turned out I have anterior placenta. X

24 weeks yesterday for me.

I'm using my daughters iCandy Strawberry, I loved it with her and still do so looking forward to using it again. She's two so I'm trying to get her used to walking more rather than using a pushchair!

I was just looking at the whooping cough vaccine thread, has anyones midwife mentioned it? I don't see mine for another 4 weeks, I wonder it she'll talk about it then.

Hello!

I went swimming this weekend for the first time with a full on bump.. Oh my goodness was it difficult! With less lung capacity and being midriff-heavy, it was so tiring. It didn't help that I squeezed into a small size speedo swimming costume that could only just cope with my new found bulges.

Ordered a roomy maternity swimming costume now, can't wait for it to arrive

Is so quiet on here compared to thw last group i was in. Makes me sad
Would anyone prefer to make a fb group? Some find it easier to interact on there?
I can make a private group if people are keen?

Very quiet now in here girls. I still pop on for a quick read while I'm getting ready for work sometimes!

How is everyone feeling and getting on with preparations? Xx

 

[Starchild]

I feel like we haven't prepared at all. We're planning our wedding at the same time, that, both working, looking after the toddler & doing up the house leaves very little time for baby prep.. which is quite sad actually but it's making it fly in.

I can't wait for maternity leave! Lol xx

 

[Cati]

My significant other always says he's very impressed with how organised I'm being... In reality I've just been given a lot of things by a lot of people and pretty much addicted to shopping, so it's been a breeze!

Hi ladies,is anyone suffering with the heartburn already? its been a couple of weeks for me already, I do carry very high though. Time ia flying esp with the children having finished school.

 

[Cati]

I've been having really bad heartburn recently, mostly when I'm in bed
Nothing seems to help

 

[April4415]

Sounds busy busy starchild! I loved planning my wedding although I didn't really have much else on!

The only things we've been given is a baby bath and bowl that I'm waiting for as my friend moved down south to a RAF base, and a few outfits as gifts. Everything else is new.

Not had any heartburn although a few in a fb group I'm in have been suffering.

When is everyone planning on starting the nursery? I can't wait to do ours! Xx

 

[knopk@]

I feel for you. Esp bread, fruit and coffee seem to trigger it.
I am not doing the nursery as the baby will be with us for a while lol

 

[Mayflower85]

I'm not doing a nursery as will probably be moving in Sept/Oct and then will share with my daughter when she's big enough. My daughter was in my room until she was 8/9 months old.

I didn't bother with a Moses basket, I had a wooden crib for my daughter and I'll be using that again. My daughter stayed in it until she was about 5 months then moved to her cot bed. Hoping to do the same again.

 

[Starchild]

Heartburn has started for me too, probably a month now. Worse after drinking something fizzy.

Our daughter was in our room until around 1 year old. Mainly cause my OH worked nights & I was scared of using the baby monitor. This time I hope baby will be in his room before 1 yo as it was hard for me to let my daughter go after so long lol

I've been in so much discomfort today at work, my stomach feels so full all the time, & I keep getting a full ache on my lower right side. I'm exhausted too, I'm wondering how much longer I can cope with work.. getting up & ready for the 7am starts is hard enough & then coming home to my daughter & the cleaning/cooking/washing.. next time OH and I are off together to give each other a break is 2 weeks tomorrow! Ugh lol xx

 

[Mayflower85]

What's everyone decided about maternity leave?

I'm going at 31 weeks, which means I've only got six weeks left! It's earlier than I'd like, but I'm doing 40-50 hours a week, 7.30am -6pm nearly every day plus looking after a 2 year old. I'm just shattered all the time. Work haven't been accommodating about doing shorter days and less hours, so I'm just taking my maternity leave.

We're going to have a holiday mid September and gives me some quality time with my daughter before baby arrives.

 

[rachelb]

My mat leave officially starts at 37 weeks but I am leaving at 35 weeks as I have some annual leave to use up!!

 

[Starchild]

I still need to sort mine out. But planned on working as long as possible. Although I'm so tired during work now, I think I need a sit down job.

Been having some discomfort in my right breast & had a feel (it's lumpy, had a biopsy almost 2 years ago which was fine & told I had fibrocystic changes.. ) I dunno if I'm feeling anything unusual but swear I felt a little hard lump near my nipple. Now I can't seem to find it? lol I get breast changes are a part of pregnancy but can't help worrying

Anyone else have fibrocystic breasts? X

After my last post saying I'm not doing a nursery - I've just won a cotbed, wardrobe and chest of drawers on eBay... It's all the same collection as my daughters cotbed so they'll have a co-ordinating room. I'm so excited!
