January 2010 babies!

bexandantz heartburn has hit me with an absolute vengeance over the last week. I spoke to my mw about it yesterday (more complaing about it than anything because I know there's nothing she can do) she offered to prescribe liquid gaviscone but I already take gaviscone and quickeeze and it only stops for a while then returns so I didn't bother.

My peeing is also getting really bad again - the people in my building who see me walking to the toilet 20 times a day must think I have serious issues.

I too am high risk for GD as had it with Rhyley so i am talking myself into the fact i may have to have another ceasar which I really don't want - I would love Dh to experience a Natural birth (Josh and Brooke are his step kids)and Brooke really wanted to be there too! I just dont want all these hopes for a VBAC and then be told towards the end - sorry you have to have a ceasar!!

yuck heartburn I remember it well - so far haven[t got it but I will - always do!

I see my midwife on the 10th of sept - must admit the visits seem to come up pretty fast - its september next week - I rememberr saying that when it was august and that didnt seem almost a month ago.

I just spent $110 that we dont have on that PP site - DF is going to kill me  But 10 items for that price, how could I not.

 

 

i've had really bad heartburn since the beginning :(

I haven't been avoiding any foods, but i have icecream, or chocolate milk before bed, hehe.
I also bought Titralac which worked for awhile.

I think it comes on if I haven't eaten for a couple of hours, which is a pain cos I'm not hungry but I can feel it coming on now.

Congrats on all of the healthy scans!!! I'm getting so excited now. I can't wait until summer, I feel like lying in the sun, eating tzatziki chips and guacamole, and a new baby would be nice too :)

So what sort of things should you avoid? I had cheese before bed could that be what caused it... funnily enough I had ice cream before bed but still woke up with it real bad lol!

I'm looking forward to summer, my maternity leave happens to last from start of summer to end of summer though I'm sure for awhile I will be too tired and busy to enjoy it!

haha, I just ate chocolate now.  I thought it has milk in it, shouldn't cause heartburn. Ahh, wrong!  I have icecream after dinner too, as I always get heartburn after tea.  Icecream settles it though.  And I get it when I'm hungry too.  Can't win.

 

Also when mum came around she bought me 2 packs newborn nappies.  I haven't even bought any myself yet!  And she offered to have G & J on Monday for the morning, sounds good to me!  And she'll bring dinner over on Tuesday night since Dh is away again from Monday til Sunday.

Bex - I am looking forward to Maternity leave too - I leave at the beginning of dec (as using 4 weeks annual leave) and don't go back till the middle of June so all summer and autumn at home

Why do all these people care so much what the sex is when you have a healthy baby??? They need to hush up.

I've had a helluva time getting this site to work today and now I'm very behind.

When I have heartburn I love eating Tums. Only I'm not sure what they call Tums here in NZ ... I think generic name is calcium carbonate.

I have to stay far far away from greasy foods or the baby (rather belly) blows up like huge nasty gas balloon and slowly deflates all night long.

heartburn is rank. i had it soo bad with ethen, well actually i had reflux with ethen - 'heartburn' doesnt involve the food and acid actually coming up into your mouth and down again! EW. nothing helped (sorry!) except avoiding acidic food.
DONT try slippery elm as my MW suggested - its disgusting and just came up and down too! stick to the gaviscon, mylanta etc!
didnt get it so bad with oliver, but i have it again this pregnancy.
afterward, ethen had reflux as a baby - well he still kindof has it, and it made me VERY sympathetic toward him! so it did me good to have it! hahahahaha.

i looked at that PP site, went a little crazy and put lots in my shopping bag, got a case of the guilts and closed it before i spent any more money!
LOL.

ok dinner time! best go.

italiah - your mum ROCKS! tell her to come visit me! hehehehe.
