Man I feel like I have so much to learn. I also sleep on my back although last night I slept on my left hugging a pillow and hot water bottle to ease the pain and I slept like a baby. Lucuma, I feel so sorry for you with the lack of sleep. I sleep better now than ever before. Although the horrible groggy tiredness is lifting, Wuffly I'm like you, have to face out of the bed! Glad to hear your skin is clearing a little, I'm using lots of that Mama Bee oil on my boobs and stomach, I have gone up 2 bra sizes already!!!!! Shocking the size of em ... LOL! Is anyone starting to show, I have a mini bump although only visible if i pointed it out.
watch the hot water bottle, not meant to have it next to the baby/bump.
Thing is the experience of dealing with a newborn has redefined my idea of ''lack of sleep''
:D:D
When you've experienced what going 3 days and 3 nights with not 1 wink of sleep, not even for 5 mins is like.....it puts the expression ''lack of sleep'' into perspective. Therefore as long as I'm getting a few hours at all, even if broken, I consider myself to be doing ok.
I just noticed my boobs are filling out this week, hurrah! Hurrah for positive pregnancy symptoms, there are so few of them!0 -

Yes my husband scolded me for that. He is reading what to expect when your expecting. He likes to absorb information from books so Ill absorb it from him. What app are you using? My friend recommended the bump. I have signed up to the emails from babycentre.
On the boob thing, I just saw it as another thing that won't/doesn't fit me and I'm going to have to buy. I am hoping they stop there. I have heard people going up 3-4 bra sizes :eek:0 -

Thank Lucuma, it looks to have a nice bit of room underneath, although to be fair it probably looks big to a person that has no clue how much stuff a baby needs to travel with! lol!
I'd usually have all the baby's stuff in the nappy bag, which is hanging from the handles of the buggy. So the basket I use for my own stuff and shopping....which can be considerable
Found out sex yesterday another cailin for us....0 -

Ah right ok, that's your intestine, attached to rectum which obviously is below the bump. You meant stomach as a description of general digestive system, I thought you meant actual stomach as in the bit that food goes into where food is broken down, I was wondering how it would be under the bump when all organs get shoved upwards and it's up high anyway! 0 -

I dunno. I was getting food poisoning cramps under my bump anyway one day late in the third trimester. Only had them for 1 day and they coincided with other food poisoning symptoms (won't go into details) so I self diagnosed.
Your statement made me google a diagram of the various body parts and where they get shoved to in late pregnancy. As you say the stomach is above the bump, intestine seems to be squeezed in behind it!
So it must have been the very lower part of my lower intestine experiencing the food poisoning cramps that time then......
Either that or I was having Braxton hicks and put it down to food poisoning!
I thought I didn't get any Braxton hicks but now you're making me doubt myself!0 -

So having a may baby, really the last person who expected to have a baby
Really dont know how to react to it, like my heart nearly exploded when the baby jumped during scan. Right now Im just hearing every latin name from my girl before my surname to find the perfect one :cool::D0 -
Congrats Astonaidan! Hope alls going well for you!
I haven't been sick for three whole days! I am so excited! Still a bit nauseous but hoping we've turned a corner!
Gyne apt today hoping she does a little scan while we are there!0 -

Dont know the sex yet, we just have decided on the name for a boy alreadyCongrats and welcome to the group Astonaidan. You know it's a girl so?
Wuffly that's great news !!! Hurray!!! Honestly there's nothing worse than that all day nausea.....
hopefully you're entering the purple patch of pregnancy now so :-)
How are the back sleepers getting on? I'm using my Lidl body pillow now and tossing and turning to beat the band. From one side to another. What's interrupting my sleep now is that my nose gets blocked and I have to breath through my mouth and then I wake up from the dry throat and have to take a sip of water!
I remember this from last time argh..... 0 -

Thanks Lucuma, congrats on your little girl! Any names in mind?
Went ahead with the travel system, bit freaky, safely hidden in the spare wardrobe for now!
So which travel system did you go for?
I never got to go travel system shopping
Got two hand me down travel systems last time and one of em is an old Phil & Teds (double buggy) so will be using that this time. I said to my husband it's really sad I never got to do the whole shopping for a travel system thing and he said ''No it's not, we never had to pay for one!" which is a good point.
Yeah I have my names in mind coz my last one was a girl so the names this time around are the ones that didn't make the cut last time around. All irish names ...think I know which one I want but hubby vetoed it last time so I'm going to have to be cunning in how I get it through this time. I have a cunning plan !!

We went with my friends bugaboo and maxicosi cabriofix car seat, we didn't really go shopping just went and looked at a few the night before we looked at hers. I would love to go new but just can't really justify it, and if i went shopping I would probably set my heart on something mental expensive! She was really good and knocked more off the price so we're pretty happy with it. Should have seen us walk out with it, managed to whack a few doors, thank god there was no child in it :eek:
We're not going to find out but I'm thinking its a girl, mostly Irish names in mind, vetoing everything the OH is coming out with god help him! Good luck with the cunning plan!:D0 -

Are the cheaper ones any good do you kn I will Lucuma or would we need to be spending big money?
My husband is mad to get one
I'd say they're all the same. Get a second hand one on Adverts?
It's funny I didn't feel that one bit this time around (worried that nausea stopped) all I felt was utter joy and relief.
Once you're safely over the 12 week mark the chances of a miscarriage are extremely small, highly unlikely. It's totally normal for the 1st trimester symptoms to disappear as the placenta takes over progesterone production (from the corpus luteum) in fact it would be abnormal for those symptoms to carry on well into the 2nd trimester (except for the very unlucky few) so everything you've experienced is normal, normal, normal. You'll be grand!! Enjoy it and be happy those nasty symptoms are gone!! 0 -

which type of bugaboo? Did you get an isofix base with the Cabriofix? (only useful if your car has isofix of course!) I also used a Maxi cosi Cabriofix on my dd. It will get you to 1 year at least (unless you have a monster child). I assume the connector for clipping the maxi cosi into the buggy was included in what your friend sold you? I bought my maxi cosi (2nd hand from a friend) and I had to order the connector to get it to click onto the Phil & Teds from the Phil & Teds website.
My cunning plan is ....there was another name last time that OH hated....so I'm going to pretend now that my heart is set on it. He hates it and no way jose will he let me name the child by this name (it's the irish for my name and he thinks this is vain) and at the last minute I'll go OK SO ....if I HAVE to I suppose I could consider a different name how about X? (x being the actual name I have in mind) and he'll see it as lesser of two evils and go for it. Will this plan work?! :P:P remains to be seen....I've already started calling the baby by the name he hates-hates though just to get him going and get the plan started !0 -

I know you are so so right. I'm just letting my imagination run away on me.
I really should be enjoying this time before the discomforts of the third trimester are here!0 -
Lucuma, great news you are having a girl. Do you already have a daughter? That will be so nice, sisters are always close. I am finally over my kidney infection. God it was horrible and something I do not want to have again! I am slowly trying to sleep on my side, I bought a pregnancy pillow in argos and i find if i sleep on my left and hug my leg around it I stay on my side, otherwise I end up on my back again. I find no matter how little I drink before bed I always wake up around 5am to go to the bathroom, ALWAYS! I am also hugely bunged up and wake up gagging for air. A new thing for me is nose bleeds as my nose is so stuffy. I am hoping this is not something that lasts for the entire pregnancy.
I had to go in for a check-up this week due to some minor bleeding and got to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. It was amazing, the spine and bones have formed so it looked more like a human than my last scan. Not too long now to wait till the next big scan 0 -
