Uh-oh!Someone's flipped my broody switch!

Ha ha P bob brilliant news! Although definatly wait till you've moved house so you have as little stress as possible. We're moving house in July (fingers crossed) and i'm sure all my early problems were due to stress over sorting that out.
I am regretting being pregnant in the summer though, although it should be a little cooler hopefully by october when i give birth. I'm already having trouble reaching my legs to shave them for dress and skirt wearing.
I have to agree with Fran March is definatly a fab time to give birth!

Wait and see how we cope before you try, we'll all be nervous wrecks and you'll be coping fantastically with little Max.

Just go for it now! Yay xxxxxxxxx

15mths- Anyone else finding it bloody hard work?!

I'm really lucky Spencer is such a good boy, he sleeps from 8 til 7:30 every night then has two naps in the day as well. If he didn't have those day naps i don't know what i'd do now i'm 24 weeks pregnant i'm having to have a nap to! It doesn't sound like Spencer has as much energy as your boys. He's taken over the lounge with all his toys and that seems to keep him busy so i can get on with things then we normally go out after lunch for fresh air. He's not quite walking yet but he wants to and gets really stroppy if he's in his pushchair to long, he walks holding my hand so hopefully it won't be long although then he'll be a nightmare. He still only says dadda and mumma and a few unrecognisable words but he understands alot. If you say to him wheres abigail (new baby) he lifts up my tshirt and plays peek a boo with her.
I'm really worried about how i'm gonna cope with two i'm gonna be dead to the world!

what are you considering when purchasing a highchair??

My friend has that one and she loves it so it must be a good choice. I have the polly magic and a bloom highchair (rubbish). You won't need it till about 4 at the earliest. I used a bumbo with the tray first as the highchair just drowned spencer and the tray came up to his eyes x

Milk & Eczema

Hi girlie thanks for your replies.

Isn't it horrible!

Pbob it turns out hubby's uncle had it so i'll try and breastfeed for longer this time, i wish i could've done it longer this time but Spencer just didn't gain any weight and was to sick and i just found it so upsetting.

Siany ages ago we cut out everything containing milk except his milk which we changed to hip organic. So all his food was milk free when we told the dr she said that we shouldn't do that and to definatly not change his milk. So frustrating stupid dr's when i asked about different types of milk the response was well i breastfed my baby so i don't know anything about formula milk!!! There so rubbish there. I think it is affected by his teething and he hasn't got many more teeth to come thank god.

Anyway we're off to the dr's tomorrow to moan and maybe ask to be referred to someone who knows something about children.

Lots of love gem gem, Spencer and a pink bump xxxxxxxxx

Safety gate on bedroom door-thoughts

Oh i plan to have a gate on Spencers room in our new house as i'm hoping he'll get used to playing with his toys in there so i can happily leave him while i tend to the new baby x

Milk & Eczema

Hi ladies pbobs post made me think of asking this as Spencer has bad ezcema.

I have no history of ezcema and nor does hubby, i breastfed for 3 months but then changed to cow and gate comfort as spencer didn't put on much weight and was sick all the time. None of my friends breastfed and the only one who has a liitle ezcema is the little girl that had cow and gate comfort too.

I don't want my new baby to have it so i just thought i'd find out what milk you girlies used and wether your babies had ezcema.

Lots of Love
gem gem, Spencer and a baby girl cooking yay!

MMR reaction

Blimey well done for still breastfeeding! I really hope it's the jabs and not eczema. Spencer still has his and i know the warmer weather makes it worse. At the moment he scratches his legs so much they bleed so we have to tuck his trousers in his socks. We have alpha derm, diprobase and dermol 500 and we only wash his clothes in surcare. I just hope the new baby doesn't get it i don't know what i can do to prevent it grrr xxxx

Anyone Rhesus Negative.....?

I had no idea what it meant with my 1st so i thought i'd reply and hopefully help.

I'm Rhesus negative too, my blood is Bneg which scared the hell out of me coz i just thought i was O and didn't realise i actually had rare blood.

Basically your baby may develop positive blood and if you blood then comes into contact with your babies blood it will fight it. The injection disguises your blood so that it doesn't harm your baby.

Your midwife should arrange your injection appointment, you only get one now and mine was in my arm.

When your baby is born if it has positive blood you will get another injection.

It's very important to always carry your notes (my midwife wrote in big letters B neg on the front of mine) or a card. If you have and accident or have any bleeding you will need to get an extra Anti D injection.

Hope this helps

How are the pregnant marchie mummies?

Hi ya everyone hope you haven't forgotten me, i certainly haven't forgotten you.

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and i'm due 4th October. I've had some horrible times so far with bleeding and general stress. I bled at 6 weeks and had to have a scan then, then after my 12 week scan i bled for a week and a half and didn't tell anyone not even hubby so i was a complete nervous wreck. I finally told the midwife and she told me off in a nice way. I also bled at 16 weeks and had another scan then. They can't see where it's coming from and always say they'll be able to see more at the 20 week scan appointment (which i can't get yet coz they're fully booked - more stress).
This pregnancy has been very different from the first. Spencer was so easy i had mild morning sickness but was never sick. This time i was throwing up left right and centre and i lost a stone. Thats all stoped now and my weights stayed the same for the last week.
I have no idea how i'm going to cope with 2 but i just figure that spencer will still be too young to understand my stressy moments. I just hope he starts walking by then!

I say in general i've been a complete nervous wreck so far. Although i have to say sometimes i completly forget i'm pregnant coz i'm just too busy with Spencer.

I hope all gets better for you Siany and everything is ok with you other mummies
