Morning all! I've noticed my nausea seems worse (or at least is starting earlier) this time around than with DD. Not sure whether it's just that I'm older, or I'm more aware of it, or just because it's a different pregnancy, or what.
I've broken out the sea bands already, which seems to be controlling it ok for now. Hopefully no-one at my work will be able to put two and two together. Fortunately I work in a very male dominated team, so they probably just think it's some kind of weird fashion statement!
Nibbling rice cakes seems to be helping too. And is hopefully better than the
I went for last time. I'm hoping not to gain too much weight this time around, it took me a year to lose it all last time.
No history of twins in either side of the family, which is good. We're going to be destitute enough with another one! I'm on basic SMP, so maternity leave is going to be frugal. I'll be back at work at 9 months, if not earlier.
DD was moved from the moses basket in our room to the cot in the nursery at about 3-4 months last time. In part because she hated being confined and liked sleeping like a starfish, but also because in the same room we all ended up disturbing each other.
We've moved house since then so could fit a cot in our bedroom now, but I'll probably aim to do the same again. Depends on feeding schedules though, I was lucky with DD that she would feed frantically all day but then slept through relatively early. If I'm still feeding multiple times at night, might be easier to keep DC2 in the same room!
I've noticed there's a sale on maternity clothes at Mothercare. I'm wondering whether to wander over in my lunch break and see if I can find any bargains. Anyone else bought any clothes yet?
