Hi everyone. Congrats to all those who have new babies.
I'm delighted to be joining thread. We just found out we're expecting
- probably in early July but will need a scan to confirm. We have a 7 month old girl so this will be number 2 for us (with a 15 month gap). I was a lurker when pregnant with her but this time I'm going to do it all properly! 0 -

Yes have to get me a swimsuit... Or more like whale suit... Feel like I'd sink right to the bottom!! Haha! Def don't want a tight one tho - I did see fairly decent looking ones in mothercare recently also!
Still feel like I'm stretched to capacity! Hard to believe there's another 15 weeks of growth left!! Tonight I just could not get comfortable on the couch - felt I was stretching my self more and more no matter what way I went!! Although that may well have been the chippy.......

so no use to me!
Wear a black bra underneath, I did and it worked our grand to support the massive boobies!
TIGRESS, swimming is fantastic for pelvic pain, I had hip pain thru our my pregnancy and swimming did ease it, as did one of those fiddly odd shaped pillows that u can throw a leg over!0 -

Welcome aboard Javagal & huge congratulations! Just take it easy wishing you a healthy & happy pregnancy!
Ladies for those who have Pelvic or Back Pain I went swimming for an hour & a half today (by swimming I mean me just bobbing along lol) it was such relief I actually forgot what it feels like to be pain free! The pains came back as soon as I got out (btw my bump felt soooo heavy getting outta the water 
) but it was Sooo worth going! I'm gonna go every 2nd day from now on for as long as I can! Feel mote alive today if that makes sense lol my OH even brought me out for an early dinner so I feel great now hope everyone else is having such a good day! 0 -
With 10 days to go, I was starting to panic that we would never find a pram we like, but we finally bit the bullet and bought one today
Am feeling a bit more prepared now, as that was really the last 'big' thing we had to get.
Now we're just missing the baby to go in it... ''Come on out baby - your transport awaits!!'' 0 -

January my supply still hasn't dried up and Ella is 11 months old. I fed her up to 5 and a half months. I have attributed it to the pill that I am on (cerazette) it is a progesterone only pill and on of the side effects can be leaking lol. If you are on the combined pill it is less likely but can still happen. Of course this only applies if you are actually on the pill 0

9 days now --down to single digits :eek:
We got an Emmaljunga combi duo. It comes with a pram carry cot top and also a buggy chair, so it can be converted to a buggy when the child is bigger.
Now I had sworn I wouldn't got for one of the ''pram'' type things with the large wheels, but we didn't have a big budget and it was on special offer so here it is..:) Having said that, it's still smaller than some of the 'tanks' they are pushing around over here!

Oh no. You have just got me really wanting that pram. I absolutely love the old fashioned style. There doesn't seem to be many stockists in Ireland though.0 -
Aw wow I can't wait for that to start! I have been getting some flutters the past week or so & kind of ripples on my tum, but I think they're nerves rather than baby movements! Looking so forward to feeling proper movements thoughdublinlady wrote: »Just saw my belly move for some kicking for the first time!!! Live it!! So cool!!!!
January my phn suggested cabbage leaves on my boobs to stop the milk & it did the drink.
Smelled a bit manky the first day but as I was housebound for the few days it wasn't the end of the world!
Tigeress that's great to hear that the swimming worked for you, must give it a try 0 -

I'm not too bothered about it really because I'm not leaking... it's only if I try to do it it comes out...0 -

Thanks all for the nice comments on the pram. Am feeling a bit better about my purchase now
I guess it's just the big awkward chassis and wheels (I originally wanted something with swivel wheels) that I like the least. But yes, I am still looking forward to my first stroll with the baba in it
So 8 days to go and still nothing stirring. The waiting game is horrible..
I am hoping I don't end up having to be induced, as I have heard that's more painful than natural labour..:(
Looking forweard to my appointment with the midwife tomorrow. Am hoping the baby is still lying head down -- there's been so much movement lately! I thought the movements were supposed to decrease as the baby runs out of room - but not in my case

hi all. so lovely to hear bout all the movements. i mostly feel them in the evening in the bed, during the night or in the morning. i love it but sometimes they make me jump, not sure if its cos they are so strong or cos baby hits a tickly spot. I cant wait to meet my little one. technically in single digits now 9 weeks and 5 days left
i got a pram thats a 3 in one and one of the bits is like cuinning stunts. i thought i would never have one like this but cant wait to have baby in it. its red so will suit boy or girl 0 -
Cap it's definatley worth a try! I'm going again today hopping if I go every 2 days it might keep the pains at a more tolerable level!
There's something really nibbling at me at the mo.. I really wanna try breast feeding as I know it's best & the books say to get some nipple cream in before baby comes encase you get sore or cracked nipples.. So I went into Boots to get some & it turns out I can't use any of them I'm highly allergic to Savalon (serious reactions to it) and all the creams have one of the 2 main ingredients to Savalon in them.. I can't even risk trying a little to see if I react as I'd need hospital attention to stop the reaction.. So I don't know what to do now.. I'm still adamant on trying to breastfeed but don't know weather I should get the nipple gards to use instead as this stops the cracking but it's more fiddly! Any suggestions? I'm back with my GP next week so I'll ask him if there's anything else I can try if i need too.. Would rather know in advance! 0 -

My mum used vaseline on her nipples when she was breast feeding, I don't know if that contains what you are allergic to but it worked for her so it could be worth having a look.0
