TTC #4 - Join the madness... If you dare!!

[babyblue3]

Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

3kids, congratulations, have a happy and healthy pregnancy.x

How is everyone doing?

Thanks meanbean

I'm 17 weeks now - is going very fast! Just haven't really got much time to think about it with the other 3 keeping me busy!

Don't know where everyone else has gone - guess they haven't got much time to post with all those kids to look after!

Hi, I'm still around but guessing everyone is busy with their bumps. I had my 20 week scan yesterday, all was good and we are having DS 3.

I am delighted as it keeps DD as the only girl in the family also I can fit the 3 boys in one bedroom which won't cause any disturbance to the everyone.

All worked out for the best I think, just need to find a name now. Boys names are so hard!

Hope everyone else is keeping ok, would be lovely to hear some news.

HEllo! Long time no post. Sorry I've been busy, 4 kids kinda does that to me. :D

Pink! Yay a little man, you must be so excited!

3kidsnobump, you must be about 25 weeks now! I hope you are feeling well.

How are all the oldies doing? FB has taken over the world lol.xx

meanbean yes am 25 weeks now! I haven't posted for ages either - tis very busy with 3, can't imagine what it will be like with 4!

pinkclouds we have not found out the sex with this one, but I have a feeling it may be another boy, which would also give us 3 boys and 1 girl. The older 2 keep telling me they want a sister, but am trying to explain that these things don't come to order!

This pregnancy seems to be going really quickly! Only down side is have been told I have gestational diabetes with this one, which i haven't had with any of the others, so more problems with this one unfortunately. Guess at least I have been lucky with the others!

3kids Thats what my two eldest wanted as well, but have to say they came round very quickly and are now delighted to be having another brother.

I went to the midwife last week and she testing for GD as I am measuring two weeks big and had glucose in my urine, but I haven't heard from them yet so guessing the bloods must have been ok. How are you coping with your GD?

Fatbottom yes I'm sure they will get used to another brother if we have another blue baby!

It took them 3 days to get back to me and tell me I had GD - so don't think they are always that quick in getting back! Have had the finger prick machine thing since yesterday, so having to try and fit that in 4 times a day, as well as everything else! Guess it just takes a bit of getting used to. At least it is only for about 12 weeks (hopefully!)

How many weeks are you fatbottom?

3kids forgot I had named changed since last post was Pinkclouds. I am 29 weeks. The other thing is am exhausted nearly as bad as first trimester, and its driving me mad I want to be able to do stuff but just haven't got the energy.

How are you finding levels are they stable or all over the place? Have they given you any help with diet? Do you get an extra scan to check on baby ?

Ah - there was me thinking there was an additional nutty person preggers with no.4 who had joined the thread!

Yes, I am waiting for the extreme knackerness to kick in with this one, am hoping a have another few weeks of feeling ok-ish. It's really hard being pregnant and having 3 to look after as well - was bad enough last time with only 2!

Well only been testing for the last 24 hours, and all ok so far apart from after breakfast, which I gather is quite common (from looking on mumsnet ). Thought they would give more advice about diet actually. We tend to eat fairly healthy meals anyway, it's more the snacks I'm struggling with, in terms of what to eat that isn't too bad! Yes think they will be doing extra scans, but guess I will find out more when I see the consultant.
