Pregnancy #49

[easyliketuesdayafternoon]

My husband has strict instructions to go to the M&S below the midwife led unit and purchase a packet of salami and a can of full large coke once I've given birth can take or leave alcohol

I've told my partner I expect a box of doughnuts and / or cinnamon rolls to be delivered as soon as baby boy is out. Gestational diabetes has got me neeeeeding them so badly

Sushi is fine to eat if you’re in the uk!

[freddofrog]

Is that right? I don’t eat sushi anyway but have been avoiding smoked salmon as didn’t think you could eat raw fish?

 

[Tui]

I miss sushi, I know you can eat it if it’s been deep frozen but I just don’t trust it and would rather just go without. Really miss have steak as I have it medium rare. It’s a crime to over cook steak. Also wine, the non alcoholic ones are rubbish. I had the very occasional tiny glass of wine (like a sherry glass) with dinner once in third trimester with my first (like once or twice a month). Only 9 weeks here so enjoying my non- alcoholic fruity ciders from Aldi

Yeah the guidelines are really confusing. I had no idea about the deli meat thing and polished off a tray single handed. In fact I made a number of pregnancy food faux pas. She’s fiiiiine.

Question for those colostrum harvesting???

I've just started today, collected 1ml so feeling very happy but unsure how much I should aim for??? Also one boob definitely was doing most of the work for that 1ml!

When I did some harvesting before mine turned up I had the syringes and they were 1ml syringes so I think you’re doing pretty well. They have tiny tiny tummies when they are born. I think I did about ten syringes - we did try and use one but she wasn’t having any of it at the time but thankfully we didn’t have to rely on it either. I still would have rather have it as insurance than have felt frustrated to need it and not have it x

I didn't have time with my first as he came early but my supply came in late and he also ended up with Jaundice, ended up having a low supply and had to pump pretty much from the start. So wanted to try and get something for this one just in case.

But no idea what I'm doing, I got some 1ml syringes from a friend that they didn't use and looked online for videos but no where seems to say much about how much to aim for.

Definitely put my mind at ease a bit with knowing I've managed to collect 1 syringe!

I would recommend following Olivia Lactation Consultant on instagram - here is a link to her colostrum harvesting video that she did


she also talks about storage and everything after

I ate pheasant (fancy work meal, other option wasn’t pregnancy safe) and mine seems fine too

Smoked salmon can be eaten if it was frozen but I never risked it. Also had one coffee a day after 12 weeks which probs explains why she doesn’t nap

I think I’m the only one on this thread that actually really misses alcohol don’t get me wrong, going out without it isn’t half as bad as I imagined and will probably continue going to more events sober even after baby is here but my god do I miss my wine and cocktails

What type of bag is everyone planning to use as a hospital bag? I can’t remember what I used last time. Tempted to take a little wheelie case with packing cubes (labelled) inside with different bits in.

 

[CallMeHollywood]

I’ll be taking a small hold-all for each of us. Husband won’t be allowed to stay overnight, so he can always bring the bits I need from home.
