Welcome to our new home! Right, time to get that baybee out lazy!

I think Vicks on soles of feet is more for coughs...

I cannot stop burping. Is this just me or is it a symptom of a differ?

Dor poor LM. Bet it's quite scary.

I have struggled with the gas both ends jeffers! I found the only thing that helped was having a daily probiotic. I used to have activia but all through my diffment I have found the thought of yoghurts . At about 10 weeks I actually retched walking past them in the supermarket so Yakult have done the job.

The burping is getting embarrassing. It's like I get full really quickly as well. I've started to not want to eat loads of stuff this past week which is definitely not like me. Still, I've not had any puking so am counting myself lucky.

I have had that the majority of my diffment (occasional days when I can't stop eating but) generally full really quickly, small meals are the way forward. I put a combo of that and the fact that I'm so active at work down to why I've only gained 8lb by 32 weeks! :)

Well went pram window shopping today....the oyster was the first one I saw and I think I've decided already! Mr df loves the fact I don't faff...same when I picked my wedding dress, I always know what I like right away! He sort of preferred the uppababy vista bit he really didn't like the price! Going to hold off till the gender is revealed and pick the colour!

I've gained eight pounds already...worried as i'm the same size as the other girl st work and she's a mirth ahead!

Don't worry too much about how much you gain. As long as it isn't excessive you will be ok.

I trued going back on Slimming World but the amount of milk I was producing reduced significantly. I am trying now to eat healthily, avoid the cakes and do plenty of exercise.

I would rather be able to feed my darling boy than be thinner!

blue don't worry too much about weight - I was obese when I got diffed and advised to try to gain up to a stone max.

I do think the oyster is a good choice. We chose the red colour pack with a view that we might be really lucky and win a second baybee at some point.....

X-posts dor (started writing one then changed location before finishing it). Did doing SW really deplete your milk supply? I didn't realise it could affect that! I'm sure minimal cake and BF will be good for you and obviously is best for little mister!

I've had a nice evening. MSB is out on the lash (have warned him he will need to stop drinking soon in anticipation of driving to the hospital) so I went to my sister's. had cuddles/watched Toy story (2 for a change) with DNephew then watched a comedy DVD when he's gone to bed. Very civilised! :)

I don't know whether it was a coincidence but I definitely felt like my supply was affected.

Part of me knows bit to worry about it but the other part keeps thinking I'd just finally got to the size and toned shape if been dreaming of for years! Although its easier for me in some ways...the girl st work has always been slim and so now if anyone mentions the bump she gets upset and says she's fat and yukky!

I took me a while to find the balance between trying not to lose control but also accepting that some weight gain is inevitable. I've been dieting (well in the last year following Paul McKenna) for so long that it actually felt liberating to not be on one, not to feel bad if I did enjoy something. I am still eating too much sugar but have tried to cut down a bit! Your concept of 'healthy' changes when you're pregnant. It's not about being super fit or skinny (although there's no reason why you can't still exercise and eat well), its about eating well and listening to your body.

We have our first ante-natal class today - midwife who comes to the house. I'm nervous/excited! Might go to the tour of the maternity unit this afternoon so we feel prepared!

Oh that's exciting! ! mr df is keen to do the nct class...I don't want to spend the money! He's not very sociable and doesn't tend to gel with other men...as far as I can gather most people use them mainly for the social aspect...I've been arguing the nhs ones will do the same job...

No NHS ones here! NCT wanted an 8 week commitment and two week day sessions which just wasn't practical so this was our best option. 1:1 sessions. I'm getting quite nervous about the labour so hoping this will reassure me!

How much are you local NCT classes?

We did the equivalent of the NHS classes which were pretty good. I also couldn't be arsed to fork out for NCT although I have heard they are very good.

The weight thing is a tough one, I can have quite an unhealthy body image so it took me ages to realise that the weight gain was an essential part of the process. I just tried to eat relatively healthily..

I'm not exactly sure but I think it'd be a few hundred! I just think if we get the nhs free then surely that must be enough!
The weight thing is a head thing...mr df is loving the bump and keeps touching it...also so far it hasn't put him off the sechs! I was worried as he was never as bothered about starting a family but he's taking it all well so far!

All I've gained from a girl at work is you meet what she consider to be a better calibre of people at the nct...quite the snobby attitude that put me off actually. I live in one of these places that has its had so far up its own arse! What she doesn't seem to click is that my background is somewhat different to hers and I don't judge people on whether they have money or not.

That attitude is exactly why I didn't want to do the NCT classes!

Yeah i'm happy with most people but I can't be doing with the competitive element that posh people bring...you know the whole what brand of baby clothes, we've bought a thousand pound travel system as the spare type thing

Yeah I've heard the same with NCT. I obviously won't meet people through my classes but I plan to go to babybels (musically stuff) and the mother and baby group at the village church so will meet people through that.

The session was good but am facing the reality that I am actually going to have to do the labour part!

Some of my friends have met lovely people through NCT.

I'm already worried about putting on weight. I've always trained really hard, running, boxing, circuits etc. stopped hardcore exercise 2 months before I started IVF & only walk everywhere now. It's weird knowing my body is going to change.

How you feeling jeffers?

MSB is back in bed He had a big drinking sesh last night - you know it's not going to be pretty in the morning when he rolls in at 1 saying I'm home but I'm going to eat my kebab before I come to bed! He's preparing for a couple of weeks' time when it'll be minimal booze intake in case I go into labour!

Faith I feel totally exhausted! Fine when I get up until after lunch then it's a struggle to keep my eyes open. Had my booking in appointment with the midwife last week. It's all starting to feel a bit real.

I'm still petrified something might happen. A lovely girl at work had a MC last week at almost 9 weeks. Makes me panic. I'm trying to shut myself in a bubble & not think about it but when it's that close to home it's horrid. She's such a great girl. My heart breaks for her.

Just keep hanging on to the fact that your scan showed a baybee with a pounding heart jeff....it gets a lot easier when the baybee starts kicking the crap out of you on a regular basis :)
The exhaustion is crap. I became a little too reliant on coke on my shifts! Probably not recommended though!
