Hey Yellow Hen, I also eat a lot now
But really happy with that, much better than feeling sick, and I can enjoy a dinner with friends
I find yoga difficult. And it's just stretches and breathing, haha, can't believe I was running races just 6 months ego!
It's hard to walk uphill (our house is on a hill and I walk really slowly not to get out of breath)
Ah hope your veins will be fine - is there any cream that can help? I use aloe vera cream every day on my belly and boobs - they are so itchy, probably because they are stretching now.0 -
Morning Ladies, welcome back Yellow Hen The weeks seem to be flying for you, Let us know how the yoga goes. I still haven't started pilates yet maybe next week! Im going back to the gym 2moro just to walk and cycle. I was out with OH and dog on Sat morning and couldn't believe i was struggling to keep up felt so unfit!
YH - i think i may have got the restless leg syndrome last night, it didnt last too long but just even sitting on the couch was uncomfortable i actually had to lie down with legs out straight very weird, first night ive ever felt like that but thankfully only lasted about 15 mins then i was fine.
My veins are defo more clear and im getting loads of little bluey/purple treads around my knees and thighs not noticeable to anyone else but i can see them, ive just been using the stretch mark cream on them cant say i notice a difference. YH id say you can only notice the veins due to all the walking on hols, hopefully with plenty of leg rest they may go down.0 -

hi everyone how are you? bumps?
What can you do about vericose veins? i know my mum has them so i hope i dont get them eek.. would walks help or elevated leg rest help?
yellow hen- Pilates sounds good and maybe will help with the muscles. Have you gone to an ante natal class? or has anyone booked there classes? i still have to.. baby will be moving soon, I was reading a pregnancy book and basically it says if your gonna be doing the deed and the baby kicks it says for the OH to hold the bump till the baby stops..im sorry but if that happened i totally know i wouldnt be able to go on with it ..
Lilbe i know what you mean about the boobs and tummy being itchy..
I dont know what creams to use? im using e45, aquaeous cream and i have a coconut cream as well.. im noticing my skin to be very dry ..
I start work tomorrow and im really scared cos i want to hide bump for at least 2 weeks and i dont think i can, i think alot of it is fat aswell
i need to lose weight but i cant stop eating haha.. too scared to look at the scales..
Is this everyone's first baby?0 -

Jesus before i got pregnant i had great intentions of been really active if i was ever pregnant
Me too!!! In the end I think I was at my heaviest weight. At 19 weeks now I too have put on about 3lbs but any muscle I had has turned to flab and my tum and bum are huge
Re antenatal classes, the Coombe told me to book ASAP as they can fill up. I got about 4 different day/time choices so I picked a midweek class which starts at 24weeks for a further 5 weeks. Looking forward to Pilates tonight, will let you know how it goes.0 -
i read a study yesterday saying that two portions of fish a week can help reduce the chance of ADHD in your child by up to 60%!
Oh yeah saw that study too! Smoked salmon was one thing which I loved before pregnancy and which I was able to eat in the first two months, too! And love it still 0 -

Hi lilbe,my midwife told me to avoid all smoked fish and meat during pregnancy,i'm not sure why exactly and didn't ask,I love it myself but will have to do without it for the next few months:(0 -

I asked my consultant specifically what I can and can't eat, he said that I can eat anything. I even specified, if I can eat a steak cooked medium rare, and he said yes.
I guess each doctor has his own point of view 0 -

When you say smoked salmon are you talking about the smoked salmon that you can put on crackers and and have with salads like the raw smoked salmon? I love this but haven't touched it because like meggysmom i've read and been told not to eat smoked fish or any raw fish. The only fish im eating is prawns but i make sure they are well washed & cooked! I did have smoked coley at about 9 weeks and i was sick two or three days later so i put it down to that.
YH - I must have a look at the leaflet i got, because i do want to do them and i'd imagine it would be full quite soon considering i already personally know 7 people due around mid march!0 -

Hey girls,
Yes, I mean smoked salmon
Googled smoked salmon and pregnancy, and it says that in some countries they recommend not to eat it, as there is a risk of getting some bacteria from it. However in other countries they say that pre-packed salmon from a shop is perfectly safe. I guess it's just a difference in opinions, as well as food safety standards. Did not find anything on Irish websites, but NHS in UK says this:
"You can eat smoked fish, such as smoked salmon, and cooked cold meats when you’re pregnant.
Some countries advise pregnant women not to eat cold meats or smoked fish because of the risk that the food may contain listeria bacteria. In the UK, pregnant women are not advised to avoid these foods because the risk of infection is so low. However, if you’re concerned, you may choose to avoid them."
Here is a link: http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/eating-smoked-fish-and-cold-meats-during-pregnancy.aspx?CategoryID=54&SubCategoryID=216
So I will stick with my consultant's opinion that I can eat it 0 -

Hey YH good to hear about the pilates, id imagine the pilates will get easier, you will prob be even more achy tomoro but that's a good sign it means you worked those muscles
I have the blue veins all over but not protruding, id say the flight and all the walking and been on your feet while in the big apple was the cause of the protruding vein. I would have taught less walking would help with the veins maybe im wrong! My dad had really bad protruding varicose veins on both legs and had them removed a few years back and i have the his legs so im hoping as the pregnancy progresses the V-veins will stay at bay!!
I was looking at my body this morning after my shower as i was applying the stretch mark cream and just looking at how much it has changed, bigger boobs and belly popped with slightly wider hips but i love it, i just smiled and taught why was i so body concious before been pregnant when i was so much slimmer and why was I constantly trying to get the perfect body (which i don't think exists in the real world)
I am on my third bottle of palmers stretch mark cream already at 17 weeks!! Thank god its only €5 a bottle! 0 -
Hello girls!!! We are starting to creak a little aren't we?
I'm getting bigger!!!! Husband is fascinated-reckons I really look pregnant now-he's hilarious!
Ended up at the dotor the other day-thought I was getting a chest infection cos I was breathless. she had a bit of a freak out cos she said breathlessness could mean a blood clot!:eek: But we came to the conclusion it wasn't..... So keep an eye out for that one too ladies-as if we hadn't enough to worrry about!
I'm a big fan of Pilates as you all know, so yellow hen I reckon you will notice the difference. You will feel stronger all through your core into your lower back. Apparently, according to those in the know, it also helps in the bedroom department.....
All I know is-no back ache for me yet and I'm over 19 weeks. TOUCH WOOD!
Had a big birthday during the week girls-34.... Feeling a bit over the hill for baby 1!0 -

hiya everyone how are we? omg everyone is nearly at the 20 weeks elly we have another 3 weeks to go but its mad how fast the time is going? it'll fly once christmas is over..
happy birthday wicklori!!! hope you had a great time.. what did you do?
since you said something about the bedroom bit its getting a bit awkward with OH on top haha it feels like his squashing my tummy.. anyone else?
you know the whole thing what you can and cant eat, i think every doctor is different. like my doctor said i could drink like a glass of wine at dinner but some doctors are totally against it.and to have that cup of coffee if wanted. like I said before were not supposed to eat rare steak but as lilbe said her doctor said it was fine..like my midwife asked me was I eating red meat and I thought thats meant to be brilliant you know for the iron and all that and she was like maybe you should cut down on the red meat but I havent cause I think its good for you.. I think just stay away from sushi and raw chicken and we shall be graaand
guys i started work and thank god!! ive something to do and next week ive full days and no one suspects about bump.. think ill tell them around halloween xx
friends were up and they were well dissapointed they were like i thought you would be fat and i was like i am haha.. not fat enough apparently.. and thank you elly for your comment felt better but still to scared to go on the scales its actually sinking in that im pregnant and going to have a baby
hows everyone? xx 0 -

I just find it very difficult with the names, as every time I start liking a name it pops up in top 10 popular names... Guess I think the same as millions of other people! Just recently started to like one of the girls names and then found out 2 of my friends called their daughers that name. Boooo! 0

Wicklori - happy belated birthday glad you had a nice one lucky you going to NYC what a lovely surprise.
We had two names picked before i even got pregnant and we've stuck with those so far. But we will see, i defo think we'll stick with the boys name.
Ive been feeling really sensitive lately, if someone says boo to me i'll burst to tears. My body is also very sensitive, it hurts when the OH rubs my legs anyway hard even tho he's barely touching me feels like a deep tissue with lots of knots. He barely touched me yesterday and it really hurt and i said ive told you like 10 times im very sensitive and he was like grand i know you've told me no need to keep saying it and i just burst into tears.
My mother care maternity trousers fit me now. They're very comfy and keep the belly nice and warm. Will defo be buying more of the maternity wear with the belly bands!0 -

Aw poor thing.... Bloody hormones. They are just no fun. All of this is temporary, next week could be great and no such feelings! Try and stay positive.
ISn't it great that you are fitting into your trousers! That in-between stage is no fun0 -
Hello ladies!! Nearly 20 weeks now which is scary-how quickly the time passses! Great to be feeling good though!
Birthday was lovely, if low-key! And then wedding anniversary-for which Husband has organised Christmas trip to NYC!!!!!! I Can't wait!! He has never been and just think it will be great!
The whole names thing is a bit of a mine field-we have one or two, but I'm not sure! OH isn't Irish and he is very concerned when we move how people will pronounce all my favourite Irish names... :-(
In the bedroom- I think we will all need to be a bit inventive ;-) I'll be interested to hear if the Pilates is of any help!!
Thank you all for your kind wishes and helpful comments-made me feel better girls....
Are you me? I had my bday and wedding anniversary whilst away too! Sounds like a v thoughtful husband you have there. You'll just be around the start if the third trimester going will you? Make sure you get good flight socks, my legs swelled up loads on the way home.
Elly, I was a bit over sensitive for a while, it sort of passed but I'm still a bit unpredictable.0 -

hiya everyone how are you??
baby names- OH woke up the other day and first thing he said to me was "how about ____ if its a girl" it sounds like everyone is thinking of names can I ask ye a question does all your OH's know how many weeks you are? or know the exact day your due.. like our friends were up at the weekend and they're after a baby and the friend was like oh how many weeks is annette? and my OH was like oh she's due in march.. he didnt know and I dont mind that he didnt know cos its not like his not thinking about baby.. but just wondering about yer OH's..
also we were thinking when to tell my boss im pregnant cos they were saying they will be giving me full time employment if i take it after christmas!!! So I think I've to tell them soon and was wondering when is the time frame to tell them? I think its before 20 weeks and OH was like oh you've plenty of time how far u now 14 weeks? and I was like no ahm im 17 weeks and he got a shock and he was likke we have to start getting ready soon haha time is going really fast.
emotions/ hormones- Elly I know what you mean with the emotions. Oh caught me upstairs crying while our friends were over!! I was just upstairs crying!! Isaid it to the girl who had the baby about the hormones and she was like when she was pregnant she spent a whole day crying for no reason and her OH didnt know what to do, came up made her tea and she just couldnt stop crying haha.. So its normal and a good cry is always good for you, be worse if you try to keep it in how you feeling now with your body being sensitive?
yellow hen- congrats on the 20 weeks your baby is now the size of a banana have u been feeling any kicks?
wicklori- can I have your husband? i wouldnt mind going on holidays and are ye moving when baby comes?
im going into the docs today for a check up anyway have ye all gone to your doctor? and does he check for a heartbeat?
girls i do not know how you do it work a full days work than come home and not die.. yesterday I was working the 9 hours , I came home could not cook or clean just basically died on the couch , I was in soo much pain , my legs, my back andI ws asleep by at least 8.30 .. how do ye do it?i sorry for keep going on and on..
cant wait to hear from ye.. xx 0 -
I think my OH knows how many weeks, well at least he should i say it all the time but it wouldn't bother me if he didn't, that's just men for ya Its his Bday today and i wish i was still at home snuggled up with him. He's still out of work with the glandular fever!
im still very emotional, i wasnt feeling well when i got up yesterday morning and then after breakfast a cup of tea i was sick in work. so i was feeling sh*tty for most of the day. My boss always knows when there is something up with me, he asked me this morning what was wrong with me yesterday and i could feel myself welling up just saying id been sick and that i wasn't feeling 100% ive one or two blisters in my mouth and im constantly cold think i might be getting a bit of a cold, or im a bit run down. Think i will make a trip to the doc this week to try nip whatever it is im getting in the bud! My immune system is fubarred and i usually catch whatever is going!! I hate feeling like this!!0 -
Hey girls, I think my OH knows about pregnancy more than I do. He is very responsible in relation to it - reads books about pregnancy and goes with me to every doctor appointment
Elly I hope you won't get a cold! I get these colds all the time as well. Yesterday ordered a nice warm jacket online, and I eat so many fruit, should be getting a lot of vitamins from them, so hopefully that will keep the colds away!0 -
-
Hey Wicklori, I checked some real shops at the weekend, but the only ones which had warm jackets were Mothercare (sizes S or XL) or H&M (size L). Size S was hard to fasten even now with a relatively modest belly, and size XL looked like I stole a coat from OH. So went online and Asos and New Look both have warm jackets. Asos is a bit more expensive, so I ordered from New Look (and it's not black, wahoo!). Not very cheap either, but better be warm, right? I just hope now that the size will be right!
I think there is definetely a lack of proper maternity shops! At weekend went through several shops with a friend, and she was surprised how little choice there is - these few shops that do maternity only have one or two racks of clothes. And most of them are short sleeved dresses and T-shirts (hello, we are coming into winter!) and also most of them are either black or stripy. It's like a uniform. Argh, I wish Penneys had a maternity section - cheap and cheerful! 0 -

Thanks wicklori - im generally very positive, i was due to sit an exam in January that i only got confirmation that i could sit it last week which was 4 weeks after i requested to sit it and there has been one seminar already on it and i've lost about 3 weeks to get the first assignment done which is due the end of the month. I am a big stress ball when it comes to my exams so ive decided its best for me and the baby that I don't sit the exam while pregnant, i hadn't told my boss and it was hanging over me so i was feeling crap. But i told him and he completely agreed so i feel better now! Im in the middle of a degree but thankfully i can do the exams at a later date! Now the other thing that is also hanging over me, i hate asking for time off work even though i have 11 days holidays left to take i hate asking for them! I pretty much run the office and look after the 4 lads i work with, I'm like their mammy so i know they struggle somewhat when im not around so hate asking for the time, but just feel like i need a few days to relax, the weekends just go way too quick and there is always something to do!
Hopefully a good night sleep and i'll feel much better 2moro 0 -

Aw Elly you poor thing! My OH is doing a course right now so I can sympathise about the stress levels!
I think that tomorrow you should plan some annual leave. These boys will have to prepare themselves for when you are on mat leave anyway so you're doing them a favourðŸ˜႒0 -
Girls, have a look at this. I think it's hilarious

Hi girls, how are you all on this somewhat sunny morning (well at least it's stopped raining!).
I'm 20wks tomorrow and I think that I felt my first kick last night. I have a habit of holding my belly in bed at night and i felt something last night and about 5mins later felt it again. It wouldnt have been enough for my husband to feel but I really do think it was the baby moving. Am really hoping it wasnt wind
. Was so so excited!
Wicklori, I think we're about the same..have you felt anything yet? I dont have my scan until 22 weeks..actually this day fortnight. Looking forward to that. I am starting to loook into baby stuff and do my homework on what we need. I seen avent bottles with great offers and am thinking of getting them. I have friends who used Dr Browns etc and they said they were so expensive and baby still got colic so I think I'll start with avent and see how we go!0 -
Hey everybody!
Yes, the morning is glorious! The sun puts me in good mood straight away
Yellow Hen, so excited that you can feel the baby! How exactly does it feel? Last time I was at my doctors he asked if I can feel anything, and I said that I don't know what I'm supposed to feel.. I guess untill I can see baby kicking on the scan and feeling smth at the same time I won't know if I feel anything
I started to make a list of what I need to buy for the baby and myself before the little one is born, and what will need to take with me to the hospital... May be it's too early, but I'm just making a list, not buying anything yet, honestly! Hope to get staff at Christmas sales - probably everything will be cheaper
Also found this website - kind of anti-checklist - might be useful as well and help to save some money! http://www.onlinemum.com/baby/products/checklist-things-not-to-buy-before-baby-is-born.html0 -
That's a good website Lilbe. The first thing it mentions is bottles..I think we'll buy the avent micro steriliser which at least we'll have when we travel to the grandparents. I might just buy enough Avent bottles to get started and see how the baby gets on. Still hoping to breastfeed too but who knows.
The kick was just like a little flick inside me..could have been nothing but I genuinely think it was something. Im not sure if I havent been sitting still holding my belly, if I'd even have been aware of it. Anyway, Im sure in the next 2-3 weeks we should all begin to feel a little something 0 -
hiya everyone how are you?? Is everyone well?? Bumps? Time is going too fast its scaring me. Ill be 18 weeks sunday and i dont know how to tell the boss im pregnant, i told one if the girls and she told me to tell them asap or else they'll fire me for being dishonest..
Yellow hen im delighted for you, im expecting a big butterfly effect but i think the baby kicking is the flicks for me anyway
i think it is time to start looking into things, buy a few little things cos i will not be able to afford everything if it piles up.
so im now getting swollen legs, crying and i nearly fainted in the bank and u had to sit down and than an old man gave out to me! I was just about to cry until i realised that i couldnt cry in the bank hahaha xx hope all is good x 0 -

So... I'm 20 weeks today. I've been having funny feelings for about a week and a half to two weeks. To be frank- some of them are uncomfortable! Like something wriggling around my very deep insides. No one ever told me it might not feel the best!!
For the last couple of days on and off I have been having more definite movements-that are much more like what I expected..... I'd say it was definitely movement yellow hen! Congratulations!!
Our scan isn't for ages but I'm not a fan of the scans, hospital and the appointments anyway so not pushed....
Fair play to you all for the research..... I'm very superstitious/traditional/neurotic and so I'm putting off buying anything. I have been looking at pushchair/pram type things but purely for the research! I'm enjoying that bit but find mothercare a bit overwhelming! I also think I might be divorced if I brought bottles into the house or a steriliser! My OH is an extreme believer in the benefits of breast feeding..... I'll have to explain very clearly why any of that stuff is a wise buy!!
I feel a bit massive at the minute! But got measured in my gym and I'm up 6pounds in a month which is bit generous but not too bad!! The only inches that were up were tummy and a slight bit on the hips, so I'm happy with that. Every mother I know reckons I'm "very neat" but what else are they going to say?!
Oh and while I'm here-something made me vomit last night and feel all faint this morning!!!
Moan over!0 -
hiiiii everyone i just tolld the manager im pregnant she gave me a hug omg soooo happy she pregnant too so she understands ohhh my gooood m heart was racing she thought i was quitting the way things i was bringing it up haha but all is good and they said they'd prob be offering me full time after christmas and all thank goodness..

hii elly.. Glad u feel better,, its bad enough being sick but being sick while pregnant is icccck.. nothing like oranges and water omg it sounds like you wont be getting any maternity leave, they'd be lost without you.. You must be really good in what you do xx 0
-
I am most definitely getting a full 6 months maternity with full pay aswel My boss and another guy i work with are like my two big brothers, ive been with the company for 7 years and i look after all the administration work and the general running of the company so when im not here they have to do the admin stuff themselves which can be time consuming when there not used to doing it. There is 4 men in total the other two joined the company in the last two years and i get on great with them all im like there mammy . We are trying to get some one in for the maternity leave but they wont be doing my full job, they will just be doing the basic office work prob on a PT basis and sure I'll see how im getting on I might even do one day a week after the first 2-3 months i would prob like the distraction 0
-
are u the only girl working there?? Im sure ur OH loves that the place u work in sounds lovely, like a family sounds like a job u dont want to leave im sure yoy'll have plenty to do when baby is 2 or 3 months like catch up on some sleep cant wait tho for those times im sure the fellas will be counting the hours when u come back
had a docs appointment today, heard babys heartbeat aggain thank god, all is good.. And he called me tall and thin pretty happy with that 0 -

That was s nice compliment from the doc, I bet it put a pep in your step :-) great that you got to hear baby's heartbeat, peace if mind I'd imagine.
Yeah I'm the only girl but the lads are between 14 - 16 yrs older and all married with families and my OH gets on great with them :-) likewise me with their wives :-) like one big happy family. It was my first job did 1 yr in college and went straight working with them.0 -
Good to hear that breaking the news to work went well Annette
It is a worry that no one needs when they are about to have a baby! I'm going to go and visit a baby shop next weekend to have a look at a buggy. I haven't a clue how much things cost so some of budget would be good. Have a wedding tomorrow which I am dreading. Just not in the mood for it and I didn't buy anything new so I have to squeeze myself into something old. My bump is neat but I have defo put on weight, a big annoyed at myself for that! On the good side, I'm 20 weeks so halfway there!!!0 -
-
hiii yellow hen how are you?? Ya its a great relief to get it out and got a great response and i was nearly in tears thought i was going to get fired ahaha..
Congrats on the 20 weeks ur half way there didnt that go fast??? How do you feel?? Buggy shopping is exciting, you'l be surprised by the expense of them.
A lovely dress for tomorrow to show off ur bump its good that its neat cause neat bumps look great and not uncomfortable xx cant wait for OHs graduation i want to go into a nice dress that will outline the bump xx 0 -
How did your wedding go on Sat YH? Are you starting to feel regular movements at all yet? How is the pilates going?
I have been looking at buggie packages online and cant get over the difference in prices from one shop to another. Smyths have the Baby elegance neo package for €100 cheaper than the baby elegance store. Im defo not going buying anything big until January. Once i have my big scan im going to do a list of what i need, there is a few things that friends are passing on to us, but i want to buy alot of stuff ourselves because it is number one and we plan to have another and possibly a third so it would be nice to have the big stuff ourselves that we can put away. I am definitely not spending crazy money on a pram, considering babys grow so quick.
Well i went back to the gym today on my lunch break and did a 40min workout and feel great. I took my time and eased myself in, im going to go at least 3 times a week from now on.
We're training our dog to walk on the lead using the nose rope that clips onto her collar, she is unbelievably strong and as we never really had her on the lead much as puppy we never trained her properly but with the fact im pregnant id like to be able to bring her out walking with me when OH is not around so she needs to learn not to pull.
I feel like i have much more energy and im looking forward to doing some exercise.
Anyone getting weak and getting sick if they are on their feet for awhile? I find if im standing around for any longer than about 10 mins i have to sit down or i will vomit. Happened me twice at the weekend when i was at a hurling and football game. Wonder would it be that my iron levels are low.....hmmm must mention to GP on friday at my visist, hope he has a doppler to hear juniors heartbeat 0 -
Hey girls,
How are you? Elly, I also have so much energy, but I don't spend it that wisely - instead of working out I arrange dinners/meetings with friends, invite people over to our place for dinner or tea, and then find myself busy every night of the week But it feels good to be out again after being stuck at home when I was feeling so tired.
Annettea, I also put on a bit of weight - I'm now 9 kgs plus to what I was! I just keep telling myself that it's padding for the baby to make the little one comfortable 0 -

its so good to feel normal again isnt it, and feel like you have some sort of control over your life (for awhile anyway) I'll only do gym at lunch time which gives me my evenings
Im defo going to arrange some dinners with Friends over the next few weeks as i feel ive been hiding.
My mam has never met my OH's mam and they both keep asking when they will meet, i know they will get on great so im thinking i will organise a girly night out with my sis, the OH'S sis and both mammies to introduce them.
anyone have any idea what they might be having?? I was convinced a boy up until I read something yesterday and now i think it could be a girl we're going to find out.... if baby co-operates ... but we're going to ask doc to put it in a sealed envelope and we'll open it Xmas morning so it will be a nice surprise i have no preference what so ever, OH wants a little daddys girl but i just want a happy and healthy baby 0
