August 2011 babies

Well I am hoping that is what it is....

It's almost stopped now.......

TMI - now is slightly tinged coloured toilet paper as opposed to this morning which was stringy bits of brown.....

Hopefully mine is stopped now for good like yours Peaches!!!!

I think I'm just going to zip it and not post until I know for sure one way or the other..... or at least until after Dr appt tomorrow night...

This whole thread is me being a big drama queen.... me meeee meeeeeeeee!!!!!

What an old bore I am

You're not a bore KM! Fingers crossed that it is just the little bean snuggling in

I'm getting excited about my MW appt tomorrow now

.....and I was just a bit naughty and ordered some cute clothes from the Pumpkin Patch online store. They are having a sale. Love baby stuff!

just one wee listeria comment i know someone whose baby died from getting it.. and you are 20x more likely to get listeria or any other of those types of thing because you immune system is compromised..so while you can be too careful for me I just avoided everything i got told to for 9 months and that was that:)

anyway happy 8 months to you all this time next year you will have a 3month old:)

Maternity Direct looks good and fairly affordable....

KM, sounds good to me, sounds like it's probably implantation bleeding. Brown stringy stuff is what I have had both time.
If it's bright red blood then worry, but until then you're safe in my eyes! And feel free to say whatever you need to say. The whole point of these thread is to provide support in EVERY area of pregnancy.

KM - wow a bit to catch up on but sounds like you might be in the clear? Positive thinking - no point worrying about it anyway until you know. So just try and relax! *(easier said than done i know!)

So where is everyone around the country? We're down in Arrowtown - was up in Chch until around this time next year.

RTT - so wow you have an almost one year old! Cool - our age gaps will be similar for our little ones. I am also still BF'ing - and was planning on keeping going until she self weaned, but probably not past age two. but now I have number 2 coming before she's two - I don't know how it will all work - I know tandem feeding is possible - but is it really? How does it work! Does anyone know?

ooo hi mollymoo haven't seen you for a while!! Thanks took a while didn't it!!   

Morning ladies feeling like absolute a** this morning, woke up after DH had helped miss8 cook friend eggs for brekki, have been throwing up ever since, not good at all   hope you ladies are well and not too sick. Off to see a friend later today and her little bubba, hopefully I can get rid of this ms before I got

mimpoh - It is quite common for babies to self wean when you're about 5 months preggy cause the taste of your milk changes due to hormones and colostrum coming in. If my boy keeps feeding through I will be happy but I do know it will be hard work. I had planned to wean him around 18 months old though using the don't offer, don't refuse method, but we will see how I feel. Tandem feeding is very possible, I've seen it before and usually the toddler is only feeding once or twice a day anyway so it's not too much extra work. Our bodies are amazing things too and will compensate in any way they need to adjust to our babies needs.
I have heard that usually if you do feed them both at the same time (which is apparently great for bonding) the toddler lays on the bottom and sort of cradles the baby on top of him/her. So the 2 children cross over each other over your body.
Or your feed the toddler in a normal hold and feed the baby in football hold so their feet are pointing the same way. I am sure each mother finds what works for her and goes with it though

I am feeling a bit off. I have been getting hungry in the middle of the night and if I don't get up and eat I feel sick and then can't sleep. So at 4am I was chowing down a muesli bar

I want to keep this one as secret as I can for as long as I can. Will be hard I think but I just want to enjoy this pregnancy without anyone else trying to claim it as their own. First time mums - you'll understand what I mean soon enough.

I hope we get some more August mums soon.

RTT just curious who is my midwife in Hamilton?

That's sounding good KM!
Yeah, a week ago when I first got my BFP the line was a lot lighter.
