I totally get the tiredness thing - I’m just short of five weeks but I’ve been having to take naps on the daily5 weeks pregnant and already feeling that this time round is going to be a whole different ball game having a toddler too! I’m so tired already. And I work full time.
Well done! I never managed. I’m still in hospital (all ok but being observed) and baby is two days old, colostrum would have been handy as ive not been able to express more than 0.1ml and milk hasn’t come in yet. Baby has had to have formula which is fine but wasn’t the plan! Just bring it with you to hospitalAny tips for colostrum harvesting and how to use it? Managed to do 2.5mil tonight for the first time so dated and chucked in the freezer. Feel so proud!!!
oh congratulations 🩷 it seems like 5 minutes ago we were chatting on the TTC thread! Hope all is wellWell done! I never managed. I’m still in hospital (all ok but being observed) and baby is two days old, colostrum would have been handy as ive not been able to express more than 0.1ml and milk hasn’t come in yet.

M&S fizzzero is gorgeous!I've actually found a nice non alcoholic drink... they've improved since I was last pregnant in 2020....
Aldi pink greysons non alcoholic gin.. actually tastes similar to real gin.
Still can't find a nice non alcoholic wine.. nosecco still vile
I'm sorry - I've been suffering too. I had a week of waking up constantly with hands that had pins and needles so I got wrist supports. I thought that was bad. But now it's just pain in my thumbs and middle fingers, not got full grip, and it takes me hands a while each morning to not be stiff and sore.I could actually cry with the pain I’ve got from this carpal tunnelI feel like chopping my own arm off
I'm a bit more of silent follower on here but have been thinking about you. Glad to here your home.I think it could be okay?
I wouldn’t let my partner go away that late personally but we also have a toddler already so for me it mostly just sounds tiring parenting alone
Ive seen these too. Such nonsense. I had plain toast for breakfast because I still feel nauseous despite my anti sickness tablets.Seeing so many reels recently of 'what I eat in a day pregnant'. Starts the day with a lemon in hot water and piece of fruit for breakfast, snacks on carrot sticks until lunch when they have a green salad with a morsel of chicken. Snacks on nuts until dinner of a flimsy piece of fish with a single chip and a sad looking piece of lettuce. No mention of eating like this due to nausea etc
Fuck oooooffffffff. That isn't enough to sustain a child, let alone a pregnant woman. Just admit you've wolfed down a family sized pack of chicken tenders smothered in mayo and cheese because it's your latest craving like the rest of us and have a day off.
we have told everyone not to kiss the baby (my in laws will just do what they like) and I’ve already decided if anyone kisses the baby they just won’t get to hold her again.Saw my mum yesterday and we were talking about who I wanted around when I give birth. I told her I was happy for visitors but no kissing baby and she looked stunned and then in a really moody voice said she'll maybe just on the top of the head and when I said no she said well you'll have to remind me or the emotions will just take over and I won't help myself. Had a feeling she would be like this. MIL was instantly like whatever makes you guys comfortable
I'm not a snacker usually but I've had to have a little something every couple of hours otherwise I feel like I'm going to faint. I try to snack on fruit, veggies etc but come dinnertime I'm feeling sick from hunger. Hunger for me is painful. It's not the usual hunger pre-pregnancy, I'm painfully hungry. I'm getting hangry and I've never had that before!Ive seen these too. Such nonsense. I had plain toast for breakfast because I still feel nauseous despite my anti sickness tablets.
Side note: does water make anyone else feel sick? I'm trying to drink enough but it makes me feel nauseous.
Anyway back to those videos. I just don't believe them. I'm 35 weeks now and so little food would not sustain me for any length of time and I'm vegan so tend to eat a lot of fruit and veg. But it's about surviving the last few weeks now and I need more food than that.
Def good to make those boundaries as clear as possible now.Saw my mum yesterday and we were talking about who I wanted around when I give birth. I told her I was happy for visitors but no kissing baby and she looked stunned and then in a really moody voice said she'll maybe just on the top of the head and when I said no she said well you'll have to remind me or the emotions will just take over and I won't help myself.

I don't know if you are using anything, but you need a wrist support that has some sort of metal bar in it, like this Amazon.com: FEATOL Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace Night Support, Wrist and Thumb Brace for Dequervain's Tenosynovitis, Tendonitis, Arthritis, Thumb Spica Splint Right Hand-Small/Medium-Women and Men : Health & HouseholdI could actually cry with the pain I’ve got from this carpal tunnelI feel like chopping my own arm off
We have the Bugaboo Donkey Duo - it has done our first 2 girls a treat and as we have such small gaps between ours we are sticking with the same and we've just ordered the comfort wheeled board as we'll have under 3. That being said, we've never travelled with it. We have a Cybex Coya and we will use that when we are flying anywhere as you can also attach the car seat.Hello ladies. Does anyone know what prams/travel systems they are going for yet?
We went to the baby show this weekend and despite our efforts not to, we have fallen completely in love with the Bugaboo Fox 5. I found it looked the nicest but it was also the easiest to put up and down.
We are planning on travelling to NYC when baby is 4 months old (crazy I know!) and have been advised by multiple couples we know that the YoYo would be best for this.
My question is- do any of these ever go on Black Friday sales? And are there any other prams we should be considering.
Yes to black friday sales.Hello ladies. Does anyone know what prams/travel systems they are going for yet?
