I have no idea! I'll let you know afterwards though.
Oh here, something else, has anyone thought about their birth plan yet? We're months away but someone mentioned it to me the other day and I realised I haven't even given it a though. More to the point I don't even know where to START!?!?
:pac:
Doubt I'll have one. Certainly none longer than 'trust the health professionals advice to get baby out as quickly and safely as possible'. Maybe after the ante-natal classes when I know more about the hospital facilities and procedures I might have certain preferences but not at the moment.0 -

Re a birth pkan I was sonprepared fir my 1st had my plan ect and I d8nt think anyrhing went to plan xx and this time no pethadine for me, didnt like tge way it made me feel x0 -
Hi girls - sorry been away for awhile doing exams. Absolute nightmare trying to do exams and throwing up for 2 weeks - but I got there in the end and I think I may have done OK as well. Anyway...@sciencebod that must be such an amazing feeling! I'm so looking forward to that happening.
I'm 16 weeks and 5 days now Jerrica and the flutters are a lot stronger now and always start around 11pm. How about you, have you had any movement yet?

You are lucky - landlord sounds fab, when are you moving ShashaBear? We are renting too. We're in an apartment which is OK enough but with baby on the way now we looking for something with a bit of an outdoors now, so hopefully we can move and be settled before the birth.ShaShaBear wrote: »I'm 100%! Officially showing now, still no pains or aches, no sickness, no aversions to food, appetite for food and intimacy are exactly as they used to be,
Oh so envious of you - I'm STILL being sick every other day and the only time I'm not nauseus is for a few hours in the afternoon. Even get it through the night. People keep saying 'Oh it will go soon now', but I'm not so sure - think I could be high risk for having it till I give birth because I suffer with motion sickness and mum had that 'hyper' thing and had to be admitted to hospital 4 times when she was having me. Oh well - I'm not complaining - very happy to be pregnant but it's so hard when it drags on for so long and there's things you gotta do.Ocean Blue wrote: »Happy Days! I'm the same, feel fine these days. Don't really feel pregnant at all. Though don't know if that's a good thing cos I've got very complacent with diet & exercise!
Hi Ocean - yes exercise and good nutrition went straight out of the window with the sickness. Even had my first McDonalds in 5 years the other day and a nasty sausage roll - oh my they tasted good - lol. Have started doing lots of walking again though and there's more good things in my diet then bad as well. So shocked at how much processed food is as well - it really put the food budget up for a few weeks.
Everyone's talking about birthing plan.... I mean is it even worth planning for - lol. All the women around me that have been through it are saying, 'Don't bother' oh and 'There's no way I'll be able to cope without the epidural' and 'Forget breast feeding, you won't last 5 mins with that'.
Well I'm gunna try to do it naturally and I'm gunna try to breastfeed and I'll see how I go shall I. Oh yes - the advice is coming thick and fast now :rolleyes:
Anyway 1st antenatal is this Thursday morning so I'll let you guys know how it goes. So excited - got my Combined Obstetric Card from the GP today. Never thought I'd have one of those.

I had... something?!?! the other day and I don't know if it was gas or movement
How is everyone? I'm developing a proper bump now, just loving it. Betsie_xr3i don't be hard on yourself with the moods, it's largely out of control at the moment and it's not like you're doing it on purpose.
I ate a WHOLE LOAF of soda raisin bread last night. If heroine was a food I imagine that's what it would taste like. So delicious. I was craving savoury stuff in the first trimester and now I've gotten a huge sweet tooth.
sciencebod how was the antenatal class? You're some woman for one woman for doing exams in the thick of all this!!0 -
Lol at the whole loaf Jerrica. I've had a Cadburys creme egg EVERY evening for the last two weeks! My husband laughs because every time I have something naughty I tell Mr. Merkin that it was the baby who told me he or she wants it, notwithstanding the fact I'm only 14 weeks and in utero communication at that level would make me a medical anomaly
How was the massage?0 -
It wasn't a brilliant experience unfortunately. The masseuse brought me into the treatment room and asked me to strip down and lie on my tummy until she was finished up with another client. Straight away I was thinking "asking a pregnant woman to lie on her tummy and her sore boobs? That's a bit strange...". When she came back and said "so, what kind of massage are we doing?" I straightaway told her I was over 14 weeks pregnant and sure she hadn't been told that at all. Apparently the place I went to don't do pregnancy massages, but I had a gift card that explicitly says "pregnancy massage" handwritten on it (and it's a proper gift card, not a piece of paper!). Anyway, she went off and spoke to another therapist and said that she felt it would be ok to proceed if I was happy to do so and she'd do a reduced pressure Swedish massage (what she though she was meant to do). I was naked and under a towel at this stage so I didn't really feel much able to argue
The massage was good but I wasn't fully able to relax because I was worried in case there was something she was doing that she shouldn't have. Bit of a lesson learned on that one and it was my own fault. I'm fine and I'm quite sure bump is fine, but I'll be double and triple checking that whoever puts their hands on me next is qualified. I'm booked in for a treatment in Monart in March and I know they're very accomodating of mums-to-be, so that should be nice.
Also, I'm absolutely getting a creme egg on the way home 0 -
Oh you poor thing, what a terrible experience. I can totally understand how you'd be apprehensive when the lady wasn't really prepared etc, defeats the purpose of a relaxing massage doesn't it? Isn't it just as well you're a smart girl? Maybe someone much younger and with less cop would have rolled over unquestioningly.
A Swedish massage would have done you or bubba no harm whatsoever so don't worry. Such a pity though!
I am bursting to go to Monart! They are very accommodating to Mother To Be's apparently - you've given me a great idea to twist Mr. Merkin's arm now!
Creme Eggs are seriously addictive so just be wary that you might be opening a whole, gooey and delicious can of worms!0 -

It's started that way for me - flutters and not being sure - but yes it def is movement because it's getting a lot more obvious now and and always seems to start at about 11pm every night. Hubby can't wait to feel it too and he keep's saying, 'hello, hello, hello,' to my tummy - lol. My latest craving is baked potato and with lashings of peanut butter on top. The first antenatal appointment was just getting me booked in on the system. Good first impressions of hospital and meet a lot of the staff on the maternity ward. Lots of support for first time mums and they're very big on things like 'skin to skin' contact, Rooming-in' and lots of help with breast feeding etc. They were very happy with my weight, blood pressure, iron levels, vit D levels etc. Consultant quickly did a scan to look for heartbeat and found that no problem. I was given numbers to get booked for local classes and on breastfeeding and antenatal classes which will start in May. I have my official scan booked for next Thursday on the 25th. Let me know how you get on with your first appointment Jerrica. 0 -

Booked our gender scan for Saturday 22nd after my 20 week booking appointment.
Don't know why I am so nervous about the scan, baby kicks now and even though I don't always feel it, I can watch him/her move when I take a shower by directing the water, and my partner has felt odd little protrusions that suddenly disappear and reappear elsewhere if they feel the warm water move
But all the same, my nerves are shot, suppose it's because I've only had one scan and it was almost 5 weeks ago! I've been terribly geared up for a boy. I don't feel I would be disappointed with a girl, but a boy was the first thing that came to me when I found out, my partner is also convinced it's a boy (and he says he would equally love to have a girl, but a private chat I wish I hadn't seen suggests subtly otherwise ). I'm worried that if I get told its a girl, I will feel disappointed - or worse - my partner will. I only want a boy first because I've always loved the idea of a big brother for my girl(s).
I let my partner pick a girls name (quite pleased with what he came up with) in the hopes that it would help, and I asked him to pick the first baby outfit when we know if they are an Elliot or a Lori - all going well I'm making a mountain out of a molehill!0 -

The thing is though, once you catch first sight of that baby the chances are you aren't going to care if it's a boy or a girl - if it's healthy you'll be happy I think it's quite normal to have preferences for one gender or another, but from speaking to other new mums the only thing we'll really feel when we meet the new arrival for the first time is overwhelming love and happiness.
The movements of your bump sound amazing 0 -

Youre most likely right. Watching the movements, feeling them, buying babygros all make me cry with excitement. Guess im glad I can find out all the same so I can adjust my way of thinking if it is a little girl. Her name is Lori Alexis, which I think sounds really sophisticated for a man who would prefer a boy :P0 -
-
Just had two short and very obvious kicks in a row, with another equally obvious one about a minute later.
So right Jerrica, I'm sitting here blubbering like an idiot and singing to the baby that I love them and I can't wait to hold them. My heart feels like it's about to explode. I really don't care if it's a boy or a girl any more, I just feel so utterly overwhelmed. It's finally sunk in that I made a tiny person, and my son or daughter is just after getting my attention with a prod 0 -

Isn't pregnancy just the most worrying time of your life!??! Baby is only about 5 ounces in weight now so if you're not showing any major gain on the scales I don't think it's anything to worry about. Weight gain is so, so individual for each person, if you're feeling well otherwise and all was looking good at the 12 weeks scan I think (and I'm including myself here!!) we have to trust our bodies and our babies to do what they're meant to do 0

I've a massive bump!
Was a bit self conscious of it because of the weight gain and didn't want people thinking I was proudly showing off a beer gut, but apparently it's quite obviously a pregnancy bump!0 -
ShaSha my bump is starting to explode in size now too so you're not the only hugemongous one in here, and my bump is only 17 weeks old as of yesterday
Went to visit friends of ours yesterday evening who had their fourth baby last Saturday, she is gorgeous and both Mum and Dad are two of the kindest, most level-headed warm and open people who could wish to meet. Had a lovely cuddle with the new arrival and had lovely chats about the birth and pregnancy in general and it did me the world of good. Talking to other mums is so, so cathartic.
Mind you Lulu does love to make his/ her presence known - I woke at 3am with the most awful period-like cramps that lasted for about two hours. I was on tenterhooks waiting to see if a bleed would accompany it, but thankfully it all settled down and I can only assume it was round ligament pain. I'll call the midwife this morning to confirm. Oh and prune juice has stopped working its magic. I am crucified on the loo every three days. Ugh.
But despite my endless moaning, I'm feeling good - I trust my body and I trust my baby and everything is going to be fine (Guess who's been listening to their GentleBirth affirmations :pac:) 0 -

Hi ladies, glad you're all well! I'm 16+2 and have also developed a proper little bump almost overnight! I can't stop rubbing it!
Jerrica, I am glad you're in good form and feeling positive. Have you tried Fybogel for your bunged-upness?! It is very good and should be able to help things along. Just have glass of it at night before bed - the orange one actually tastes good! I eat a lot of pineapple and it's not something I'm suffering from thank goodness so maybe you could try some pineapple as well? It's rich in fiber and its absolutely delicious!0 -

Oh I am a connoisseur of constipation treatments Even before pregnancy if my bowels got so much of a hint of a change in diet or situation they would clam up like a bear trap. Fybogel, psyllium husk, fibrous greens, warm water, lemon, pears, prunes, fybogel - you name it, my bowels have been given it. One of these days I'm going to write a Big Fat Poo Guide based on my experiences
I eat well and I exercise, there's no major gaps in my behaviour that have caused it, it's just down to progesterone from what I can make out. Unfortunately fybogel doesn't tend to be strong enough for me, but I just had a lovely chat with a midwife and she suggested getting Duphalac to try and soften the stools (pretty much what the problem is right now). It's more than a little embarrassing to say, but I have to inspect what I pass fairly regularly to see how I fare against the Bristol Stool Chart :pac:
Anyhoo, I also chatted to the midwife about my pains and she said that in the absence of fever, diarrhoea, vomiting or bleeding it's nothing to get too worried about, but keep an eye and call A&E if it happens again and gets worse. So it was most likely Lulu stretching his or her legs and having a little midnight party in there!!0 -

I might just check in here too. I'm due on 23rd with my first too.
But I'm afraid I'm on opposite camp than all you are... Yes, you guessed it right. It wasn't planned. Myself and my OH aren't mad about kids at all. We're opposite to that really. We seriously don't like kids, especially me. And the smaller they're the more I don't like them. My maternal instinct is nonexistent. We talked before about having one, maybe in two years time or so but honestly it probably would never have happened at all. Anyways, we're stuck with this one now and there's no way out. So lets looks at the brighter side of things...
I always had long menstrual periods of 30+days and they weren't very regular either. It allowed some "room for error" and there we have it. I wasn't aware I was pregnant for about two months. I had my last period when I was pregnant already. I went to see my GP in beginning of January, told him I was about two months along but he insisted I was far more ahead. I went for a private scan and his suspicions were confirmed, 14 weeks, that was over two weeks ago.
So now I'm at around 16-17weeks, nearly half way through and what can I say... I've been very lucky so far. I have no major symptoms like feeling weak, nauseous, very sore or sick in any other way. I feel as normal, ok say "as usual" apart the bump... I don't crave any particular foods, I might be eating a little bit normal - I've gained 3-3.5kg (7lbs) to this day - right on target here. Here's my baby bump:
Of course, there're few annoying things because of the pregnancy, you know it: peeing very often, too often! and getting tired quicker than usual. I feel knackered now, and it's only 10pm and I got up at 10 this morning - short day! My low blood pressure doesn't help here either. me too get an odd cramp or nagging period like pain sometimes but I have that under control now due to taking extra magnesium supplement. Or I just got used to and don't notice it anymore :cool: One more moan: my close-fit style wardrobe is turning obsolete at a mad pace, I have almost nothing left to wear!
I can't wait for the weather to pick up that I can be a little more active. I go to the gym 2-4 times a week and do some weight lifting. Nothing mad, I can't do certain things, I know, it just moving around makes me feel less miserable and less depressed. and I have a lot of free time to be depressed. I don't work at the moment. I quit my job I went back to college two years ago in a bald bid to change my career (in recession times, mad!). I'm doing my final exams this may and I should be looking for work to gain that vital experience to become qualified in my chosen field but... now it's all out the window. I'm feeling very down because of this
I have an appointment in Holles street this wednesday and I'm absolutely dreading it. First thing is getting there for 8am! in the morning. It's a long long ride on the bus from wicklow - I'm too terrified to drive in. I've read their instruction they've sent me - they sound a lot of like Ryanair: go there, do this, sit here, queue in the the q marked X, go back, sign this and that, it's mad! Going to the hospital itself makes me feel sick, seeing a person in white lab-coat sends my blood pressure soaring. it's terrible terrible terribly terrible!!!!0 -
Hi jane and j@utis Jane you'll find plenty of other pregnant worriers here - it's the one thing theyd ont really warn you about!! Congratulations on your pregnancy and enjoy the journey.
j@utis being pregnant is stressful enough as it is, but if this was unplanned and not an ideal situation then it's extra distress for you that makes it a bit harder. But like you say, here you are, and whatever about your conscious mind, your subconscious is doing a damn good job of preparing you for motherhood - your symptoms so far seem as normal as anything
There are quite a few stories around the forum of women who had unplanned and reluctanct pregnancies. Every story has a happy ending but that doesn't diminish from the confusion that you might have now. And don't be afraid to voice any fears or doubts, even the most planned pregnancy comes attached with a lifetime of worry.
Oh and I hear you on the form fitting clothes At 17 weeks I've "graduated" to an almost exclusive maternity wardrobe. ASOS are a godsend - New Look do a good range of Jersey maternity fitted tees and sweaters, and the ASOS Maternity brand does a range of skinny maternity jeans called Elgins - I'm a big fan.
Great to have you here on the forum 0 -

WoollyWoman wrote: »Hey folks, just wondering if there was someone who was an expert in getting comfortable in bed at night time? :-/ I was reading somewhere that you should try and sleep on your left hand side and not sleep on your back as this can reduce the oxygen supply to the baby. I have always slept on my front so it's proving difficult retraining my body into this new position, so much so I don't think I'm going into a deep sleep at all as I feel 'aware' the whole night through. Last night I was surround by 4 pillows and I was as stiff as a poker when I got up. Does it really matter what way you lie??
I agonised over this the whole time I was pregnant! No matter what way I went to sleep, I'd often wake up flat on my back. Which was funny, since I never used to sleep that way before I got pregnant.
Every doctor and midwife I asked about this assured me it was fine to sleep any way I wanted to.
I could never get comfy on my left side anyways, so I used to go to sleep on my right and often wake up on my back. I did this right up until I gave birth, and it doesn't seem to have done the baby any harm!
From what I've read online about it, it usually gets to a stage where it's too uncomfortable to lie on your back. But if it doesn't, it's because the baby isn't in a position where it's interfering with blood flow etc. I know mine was always well over to one side, so maybe that's why I wasn't affected.
Maybe mention it to a doctor or midwife, and they can reassure you. But I wouldn't worry about it!0 -

One of my best mates is also pregnant, with her second, and is a few weeks ahead of me. As soon as I did the test she sent me a link for one of these and said it was an absolute God-send for when baby starts to grow and sleeping becomes uncomfortable. I tend to sleep on my left side anyway (although often wake up on my back and I'm not unduly worried) but I have it on good authority that these are the business! Hope this helps.

I was given that pillow as a gift at Christmas, it's my most favourite thing in the world right now!! I'm another tummy sleeper but had to stop as soon as I got pregnant because of my sore boobs. I started using the pillow on a whim last week and even though my bump is still small enough, I really feel a difference to the way my hips are positioned when I sleep. So so comfy and cuddly 0

So, I had my first anti-natal visit at holles st earlier today. I booked for public care initially but after seeing and experiencing the mayhem today I switched to semi-private. The waiting room was jam packed with pregnant ladies and their support teams, most of them first time there like myself, not knowing where to go and what to do, loads of misunderstanding, wrong names called at the times, some names called at the wrong times etc... My urine and blood samples were taken in very rushed manner, chat with midwife was brief too and to top it all off: I saw my consultant for about 5 mins maximum and that was after 1.5hr wait because he was an hour late to arrive to work. He took my blood pressure and did a quick 15 seconds scan - fetus heartbeat present, expected delivery date correct; that's it - bye and see you in 6 weeks time(no thanks). I'm so glad I don't have to go back there again, I'll be seeing a consultant in a satellite clinic closer to where I live. I'm wondering how visits in semi-private care are like?
Also while waiting for consultant to see me, the lady broke into uncontrollable cry in the room (well it's more cubicle than a room) beside me. I'm afraid it wasn't good news she was given. Staff tried their best to comfort her but she went on and on, for about ten mins or more, very chilling experience
Few things I forgot to moan about in my previous post: breast size and sex drive. My sex drive took a complete nose dive the moment when I saw "+" on my pregnancy test. I'm amazed how my whole desire and enjoyment of sex is more psychological than physiological. It just doesn't feel like anything before, it's not pleasant anymore, I can't relax, my mind isn't on sex anymore, it's on the baby. So sex is a no no since last xmas. My OH says he understands, oh god bless him, it's gonna be a long period of abstinence.
My chest size went up by one cup size, now I'm a generous B and almost spilling out of it. I used to be an A, sometimes B, depending on the bra brand. What I have to say: I absolutely hate my big boobs. I will never ever understand ladies going for a boob job and aiming for a size D or more! it's crazy, my Bs are so in the way all the time, they're so awkward and ugly, I want my small boobies back!!!
I'm wondering if you crave any foods? I'm having this weird craving for I don't know what for a about two weeks now and I can't figure it out! I eat a nice, healthy meal and after it I'm still not satisfied. I think my body is looking for something in my food and it isn't there, so it sends me raiding the kitchen but it just isn't there. I don't crave sweets, treats, deserts or any of that kind of stuff, I don't eat any junk food, so I don't crave that too...
Couple months ago I was so "attracted" to dark leafy greens, like spinach and rocket salad leaves, I could take a pack of these and eat them straight! and I felt great afterwards. I googled it then and it said folic acid in the green stuffs - and that was right - folic acid was in great demand in first semester. I'm wondering what is it now :rolleyes:
I bid on those hormones to kick in at the right time! otherwise... I don't know... when I see crying child on the street I feel like picking him up and giving him a good shake and keep shaking him until he stops. Btw, I've never done this, I just feel this way!WoollyWoman wrote: »J@utis, I think a lot of people aren't fond of babies/children but when it's your very own wee girl or boy looking back at you, you may feel very different (especially when the hormones kick in!)0 -
I'm private in the Rotunda and the appointments system is pretty well run. We've never waited more than a few minutes in a comfy room with tv and newspapers, and the midwife had lots of time to spend with us on our 12 week visit. Although I see the same consultant every time, I still only get 15 minutes with her, but I imagine if there was something wrong that would be extended. If everything looks good we're shepherded out pretty fast I have to admit that for me personally going private is worth it for the comfort of my prenatal visits alone. 0
