August/September 2011 mommies to be

Hee, Happi - our first real pregnancy craving for the group

Tracey - was it you who was getting the blocked ears? I've been getting it really badly every few days or so now for the last 2 weeks. It's usually just my left ear but can be blocked for hours! It's so annoying!

Ankia - not long till your scan! You must be excited!

Candi - have you quit your job? Sounds like it from your facebook status. If so, we want details

Afm, started seeing my tummy move yesterday...so cool! Oh, and popped in to a second hand baby shop with my mom this morning and ended up buying a rocking wingback chair. Had been looking for one on gumtree for ages last year and just couldn't find one. So rather chuffed

thanx Tracey, Ive also heard the same but the vits that im taking have iron in them it could be that its not in the recommended dosage.

Will check with the doc though.

Hapi, I read that cravings for soil can be due to an iron deficiency

Maybe check it out with your doctor.

Lovely hearing from you CandiBez.

I have a strange craving for soil and ash, anyone experiencing this ?

Hi Ladies, hope you are all well.

Flu getting better finally. Doesn't help when work won't give you off, but all good now.

Laliek, i'm struggling to sleep even with my sleeping tablets. Last night, having my DH having one of this best snoring sessions, super duper loud, and i got him nose spray to try help, and my dogs being restless. I couldn't sleep at all.

Little Z is kicking me in odd spots, it kinda makes me nargh, but i love it. LOL. Walking around town yesterday, and she gave me a good thumping, had to stop dead in my steps and just had a gasp of air. LOL. I looked like a lost nerd for a second.

Anywhoo.

Lemme be off

Chat to you ladies again! xxx

Good Morning

I do not get up at night, but i do toss and turn from side to side. I am so used to sleeping on my stomach, that it is very difficult to get comfortable on my sides.

Otherwise I am doing great. Going for big scan on Monday, then I will be 21 weeks, I can not believe how fast the time has gone.

Have a great day

Hi Everyone,

Laliek, I also toss and turn at night, but I find that I'm only comfortable with a pillow under my tummy, so everytime I wake up to turn over it's a big drama to have to move the pillow from the one side to the other. Earlier on in the pregnancy, I used to frequent the bathroom quite often (pregnancy bladder). So I've kind of gotten used to having to wake up al the time, maybe it's preparation for when the baby arrives, lol.

I'm really not in the mood for work today I teach maths once a week as a second job and that kept me busy till 10pm last night
So I'd much rather be spending the day in bed.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day.
