Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Hi girls,

Kimika- did you ever come right with the PMB application? Sorry only catching up last few pages.

Lucy- MM is right, it's the PMB out patient form and then make sure you're only submitting it with numbered codes i think they're like 4 digit codes because my gynae's lady wrote some codes with letters in and Discovery denied the application, i tipexed out the lettered codes and just left the numbered code like 0190, 0192, 4188, 3615 & 3617 and suddenly they accepted the application and agreed to pay out of PMB funds.

as for leaking breasts, in my 1st preg it started from 17w but this time only in the 20+w. I mainly feel a bit damp at night like if my arm brushes my nipple in the nude but when i take off my bra at bedtime i have a crusty residue whch is from the colostrum. Some have it some don't neither way means you will or won't have tons of milk but the likely hood is good that your flow will be fast if you do leak during pregnancy. Do yourself a favour and buy those gel breast packs you can heat up because you may well suffer engorgement on day 3 and heat is the best thing but after a C'sec it's pretty hard to just jump in the hot shower everytime your boobies swell. The packs saved my life, I'm taking them into hospital with me this time around because day 3 for me was laying in hospital and waking up with rocks on my chest!

Lucy W - you need to fill in the PMB out patient application form! It syas that clearly on top...think that is what the problem is! (I hope)

Good Luck..will be back later work calls!

Tazzy - I agree... not touching that subject rather... gona get burned eather way. People are more than alowed to have their own opinions, but you'll always have someone throwing it out of context... Keeping my opinions to myself then rather.

Where are everyone today? Not that I can chat all the time, LOL, but its real quiet.

Rakker - sorry that you won't be able to chat during the day anymore... it just sucks when your company monitors your internet use.
Keep the faith! ~ one of these days your going to start feeling your little angel kick and squirm in there! Time flies when we're not looking.
Hope you'll be telling us baby's gender after Thursday!

Hi guys! Still alive... In future I will only catch up on what's going on on Moomies in the evenings. I found out today that our internet usage is being monitored and I am in the top 5%. Not good. So this will be the last time that I will even take a peek during work hours.

So, no personals. (It feels like I am being watched, LOL).

Kimika, my next scan is 25 November. The gender scan, hopefully. Only 2 more sleeps, then I can start dreaming in colour, as in pink or blue .

Obout paranoia you can not tell me anything. The one day I saw 3 dead pigeons, 1 dead turtle and 1 dead snake on the road. I saw this as a sign that something was wrong with the baby, more specifically that it had died. At least I had the doppler handy to put my mind at ease. And I don't even believe in "signs". That's the problem with the honeymoon phase, post-MS and pre-kicks. You don't feel sick any more and you still don't feel the kicks. So you tell yourself something must be wrong.

Don't know when I will have my baby shower, but hopefully this time it will be before the birth, and not after it like last time, LOL. I must say, the people did enjoy being able to see and touch the one that the whole baby shower was about.

Why does the whole csection vs natural always cause such a stir..... I'd rather keep my opinions to my self. Its way to touchy.

Lucy - I had the same experience with my first pregnancy. I started leaking colostrum early on too and yes, it did get a bit worse, not LOTS worse, just a bit, but I also had LOADS of milk when my milk came in! So yeah, if you're keen on breastfeeding, prepare yourself, you might just have really swollen boobs by day 3 after birth with lots of milk for expressing too.
Look for the thin makes of breast pads and get yourself some to wear a bit later on if you feel it bothers you or becomes noticable on your clothes.

Lucy - no it really shouldnt gush out. I think small dots on your pjs is normal. It should never leak as much to soak your bra.
Even when you feeding your baby in the first few days before your milk arrives, its only tiny bits of collustrum.
Dont panic!! You're normal!
