Superpenguin are you feeling sick or being sick? Glad you have dh looking after you and I loved your honesty about the housework, we were exactly the same but I was shocked at how far we let it go when I was going through the early pg crippling tiredness. I wouldn?t worry too much about losing a bit of weight when you are feeling this rough, ice lollies made me feel less queasy, might be worth a try?
muser, superpenguin and aly i hope we get some more frolicker graduates through soon to boost our numbers after the August, September, October baby boom!
addie 28 weeks of ms! Wow so glad that is over for you, my friend had to get signed off work for chronic ms and kept getting told not to worry it is the sign of a healthy baby. I hope bunnygirl?s logic is right and she is a healthy length rather than weight alone!
novemberali glad your scan shows the placenta has moved, that must be a relief but ouch about the uti, I had one a few weeks ago and discovered a whole new world of pain until the antibiotic kicked in, hope it clears quickly for you.
ozzie all your alternative options sound great, can you let me know what the theory is behind raspberry leaf tea and when should it be taken? I am keen to naturally encourage the baby to come on time or a wee bit early to avoid being induced before Christmas. Pregnancy is also making me sample the ?woo? side of life as I have signed up to start pg yoga in a couple of weeks. I did pilates once and got bored as I was a spin class addict so not sure how I will take to the yoga!
spirael thanks for all the tips and for hanging around, you are such a natural.
pixie did they tell you if the baby measuring two weeks ahead will make you more likely to go early or have a potentially bigger baby?
worrisome was your mw appt today? How did it go? Well done on (nearly definitely) deciding on your boy?s name. Was it easier to think of a name once you knew the sex? I could name a girl 100 times over but struggle to find options for a boy. My hospital won?t reveal the sex anymore because they got sued!
bunny you are so organised getting your pram and all the other bits and pieces. What pram did you go for in the end? Do you think you will play netball again after the little one arrives and you have settled into parenthood?
fudge i hope splodge is continuing to gain the ozs, thinking of you.
hermya sorry you didn?t get the clarity you wanted at the gps today. Maybe if oneof8 is lurking she could give you advice on when the last time before your edd that you can put in a sick line without being forced onto maternity pay? Oh and if you could copy the sensible list of required baby kit that would be great. I joined which? for a month for a £1 today to give me even more info to feed the car seat / buggy obsession research
I hope I have managed to cover everyone. I am looking forward to / panicking a bit about my 20 week scan next Wed and at last I am feeling like a normal person again with lots of energy so have started going swimming in my attractive special swimsuit that I made dh buy me and went for a monster cycle ride yesterday although I don?t think I will be cycling for much longer. Hurray for topshop too for making nice maternity work trousers and then putting them in the sale, tomorrow is my first day in proper maternity clothes!
