Have you tried slipping the bottle in during a breast feed? What temp is the bottle? Have you tried it as a dream feed? My boy was good on a bottle but many of my friends going back to work had issues. ]]> Tue, 03 Dec 2013 21:51:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43744&PID=5855656&title=bottle-feeding#5855656 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Bottle Feeding]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43744&PID=5855654&title=bottle-feeding#5855654 Author: _cat_

I have a 2 month old baby girl who has been exclusively breast fed. I'm trying to encourage her to accept a bottle of expressed milk. Whatever we do she just cries the whole time and won't even try take it. I've tried so many different bottles and nipples, flows and materials. I've tried as has my husband and other family and friends both with me there and out. I cannot even remember how much milk has been poured down the sink! Does anyone have any advice or ideas I can try, I am so desperate :(]]> Tue, 03 Dec 2013 21:31:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43744&PID=5855654&title=bottle-feeding#5855654 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5854161&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5854161 Author: Mummabear16

Hi there, I'm due on the 12th of Sept with our 2nd baby. After many years of unexplained infertility we tried Clomid then 4x rounds of IUI before becoming pregnant with our gorgeous wee son on our 1st round of IVF. I then staggeringly become pregnant naturally when our son was 7mths and we are being blessed with another boy. I'd love to join the private thread and/or the Facebook page if possible. Is anyone able to please add me? Thanks. :)]]> Fri, 19 Jul 2013 21:00:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5843017&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5843017 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5838392&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5838392 Author: squirrely

Hi All,
I’m new to this forum & would love to join this group. I’m due 25th Sept with our 2nd baby. My husband & I currently live in Australia, but are moving to Hawkes Bay in June/July. My husband is from Napier originally.

Hi Emily, I am due in August but I noticed your post as my husband I are moving to Hawkes Bay also in July, from Auckand. I am originally from there but I have been away for 13 years, so it will be quite change for us!

I hope your move plans are progressing well and calmly!

hi Sem,

great to hear from you!... yep, sleep... that must be the "pregnancy preparing ourselves for the baby and his/hers demands:-) Im up at least 2 times to go to the loo at night and when i get back to bed, i get lots of movements so it always takes a while to get back to sleep. By September i ll probably be "well trained" for night feeding:-)

Great that you are feelling well. This is my 3rd pregnancy and i never had much issues, but this time i have lots of varicouse vains. They run in my side of family....and my midwife s just refered me for an assessment at the hospital. The veins are not too sore but so unsightly, so i m glad it s winter....and i m hoping i wont develop internal veins too. But on the other side, i m well and enjoying having quite a lot of energy.

I havent started preparing for the baby yet.... but today, my collegue dropped off a capsule and 2 bags of baby clothes that her baby s outgrown...so it all suddenly very real ....especially seing the carseat in the house! SHould go and sort out all the clothes and undust my son's baby clothes:-)
Take care everyone1

Hi, keen to get this thread moving again too.

25 weeks today and feeling time is finally going by a bit faster. Can't believe we only have 3 more months to go!

Some days I don't feel pregnant at all, others I get the odd aches and pains but nothing major. Steel sleeping well too but do wake up occasionally and can't go back to sleep which is a bit of a pain.

Have bought a few pieces of clothing but am really wanting to keep it basic this time so won't be getting much more at this stage as I think I'm set for NB size.

Hope everybody is keeping well!

hi to all!!!

Mummytobe 16, me too id love to revive this thread. I have to say i ve given up on this thread but just today thought i ll go and check.
I ve never been a Facebook "fan", i dont have an FB account and dont want to create one, so I ve accepted that everyone s moved to Facebook it seems. It s a pity for this thread to stop....but maybe there's hope, maybe later, in the last months/weeks of our pregnancies, things might revive here... who knows:-)

Otherwise, hope that everyones pregnancies are going great and that the little bubbas are busy wriggling around, and everyone s well.
As to me, i m thrilled to be expecting a boy. I love feeling the baby move and watch my two other children (who are 4 and 6) being totally excited about having a baby brother on the way. They love feeling little kicks on my tummy and are just about on a count down on months untill the baby arrives. So sweet.

Well, take care everyone and maybe,
hear from you again,
iceland

I have had a few issues and been in and out of hospital, been sick from day 1 and it hasn't faded yet. I'm told it probably won't now! Also found out I have gallstones and will be having an op to remove my Gallbladder after bubs is born. It has been a scary start but to find out that baby is perfectly healthy and it's just my body reacting badly to the pregnancy hormones has been a huge relief. I found out I am having a little girl :)]]> Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:19:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42950&PID=5833619&title=due-date-list-september-2013#5833619 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Due Date List September 2013]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42950&PID=5833618&title=due-date-list-september-2013#5833618 Author: Farm Girl

hi everyone,

welcome to all newly joined.
I havent posted for ages.. guess, i just dont get to go online so often now. My hubby started working from home 4 days a week which is great, but means the computer s very much occupied. Also after the first trimestr, my energy is back, which is great. Guess i m not the only one who finds less time for this online forum now....or maybe everyone "deserted to facebook"...?
Also opposite to the first trimestr time flies so much faster:-)
and i can believe that i m already going to my anatomy scan on Monday.
I m so thrilled to hopefully find out if we are havind boy or a girl.
The whole family talks about it, my son wishes for a boy and my daugher for a girl.... nor surprising....so we ll see :-)
Take care everyone!! ]]> Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:05:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5833617&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5833617 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Due Date List September 2013]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42950&PID=5833614&title=due-date-list-september-2013#5833614 Author: charnelle109986

My new MW is so much better for me, she was really exactly what I was looking for, which was someone like my GP. I feel so much better with her. Phew! Such a mission finding a ne one part way through.

Good luck with your scan decision Sem, thats a real tricky one!
It's all well and good one of you finding out but they are inevitably going to let he or she slip and that'll be the end of the surprise lol

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted for ages! Have been super busy and just caught up on posts. Nice to hear how everyone is getting on. I'm 17 weeks this week and finally starting to show - still could be mistaken for a big lunch though! I only just let everyone at my work know today. About three weeks ago we had another scare with some unexplained bleeding which was horrible, but after yet another day at A&E everything checked out so I guess it is just one of those things. Hopefully things will settle now I'm well into the second trimester. I'm consciously trying to take things a bit easier too as I think I was guilty of trying to keep working at the same hectic pace I was before I was pregnant. I keep thinking I'm feeling flutters but then they don't happen again for days so I think I'm just imagining it! Looking forward to feeling movement for real. Thanks to those who shared advice about cloth nappies, I really want to avoid disposables right from the start if I can so will try to get along to a nappy lady seminar. I still havent bought a single thing - it just doesnt feel real enough! i think after the 20 week scan when we find out whether we are having a girl or a boy it might finally start to sink in! Hope everyone's doing well.]]> Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:22:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5832543&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5832543 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5832538&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5832538 Author: sem

Back in NZ after nearly 5 weeks away. Little girl has been missing her Daddy and it was so cute to see her being so excited to be back home!

Haven't done much baby shopping at all, bought a few onsies while away and have a Babu order coming soon. We still have a few things from last time and will borrow some stuff. But I am trying to keep it really simple this time as I hate clutter and I ended up having way too much stuff last time which I now find unnecessary. But it's so hard to know what to get first time around as there is so much stuff out there and everybody has different opinions on what is needed and what is not.

We do however need to buy new furniture for our 2 year old and move her into the bigger room so that is something I need to get started on soonish I guess.

How are you finding your new MW Kalika? Hope you feel more comfortable. I have an appointment with mine this week. Only the second this pregnancy, hoping to hear heartbeat. But I am finally getting kicks so am less paranoid now which makes for a nice change!

Scan is coming up in 3 weeks and still undecided if we should find out or not. I want a surprise, husband wants to find out!

Hope everybody is well and enjoying the second trimester a bit more than the first Smile

And welcome to all the new Mums joining us!

I am also definitely starting to show! I am quite tall and slight normally so it is quite obvious my tummy is now popping out. I even had a lady at work (who I don't know) talk to me in the corridor asking when my baby was due (didn't think I looked "that" pregnant until then)! Lucky for her I am actually expecting!!

We also haven't purchased any baby stuff yet but have been given HEAPS already - both our Mum's have gone a bit crazy with the shopping so have so many newborn - 6 month clothes! Hubby's work colleague has also given us their mountain buggy and high chair (only used for one of their kids a few years ago and both are in awesome condition) so that was a pretty good score!

So excited about the 20 week scan and finding out whether our bubba is a pink or blue!!

Hi guys, sounds like everyone is getting on ok! I'm going to a nappy workshop on Monday and am so excited! Have taken an unpaid leave day specially which is very unlike me.

I've also bought barely anything.. all I have is a baby record book, a Black Beauty kids picture book (early I know but I couldn't walk past that one!) and just yesterday, a toy lion with a rattly middle as my best friend says they are the best baby toys.

She (my best friend) on the other hand, who is 19 weeks, has basically got everything she needs!! I just find the choices so overwhelming.. I can't even decide on white or dark cot/furniture

First world problems lol

I have my first proper appt with my new MW on Monday, very looking forward to it, hope she uses the Doppler so I can hear the heartbeat. I think I felt some flutters the other night, it seemed like quite a bit of action going on in there so hope it is all ok!]]> Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:18:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831490&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831490 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831414&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831414 Author: Cupcake23

Hiya,
Hope you are having a good time over there Sem

I've never heard of anyone being unhappy with ittis before, lots of people swear by them I've never tried them myself though. Just shows that there is no one nappy that suits everyone. I've always been obsessive about re-sealing the Velcro tabs on my nappies so the velcros all look pretty much as good as new, even after over 2yrs of use. I also wonder how the cheap pockets will fit a newborn, don't think mine will, can't remember what age I started using them. The tots bots osfa can go pretty small though. And maybe ill partly use disposables for a few weeks. We will see I guess

I'm totally showing now, just since the weekend! I've even noticed my belly button is a bit shallower

18 weeks tomorrow!! Midwife appt on Tuesday so I guess after that I can pretty much book my scan for whenever, yay!

Has anyone done much baby shopping? I realized the other day that we haven't brought baby a single thing! Last time we were out buying baby stuff all the time, don't really feel the need to this time. Might get the baby clothes out in a few weeks though, after my scan, love looking over them

hard to believe my big boy ever fitted them!]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:36:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831414&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831414 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831306&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831306 Author: sem

I'm showing a little bit but am also eating quite a lot so not sure what is actually bump and what is food lol. Have not been on the scales for ages as still on holiday and I think the scales here a different to mine at home. But I hadn't put on any when I left.

I can't feel any flutters yet, still waiting for it and am starting to get a bit worried again. Next MW not for another 3 weeks I think.

Re cloth nappies, I used Itti Snap in Ones last time when I started with it and loved them initially. Then the started to leak and just never fitted right on my daughter. I ended up using pockets which I got really cheap from Baby Factory. But they are one size fits all and I don't know how well they will fit on a newborn?

I actually didn't want velcro on my nappies as they always get funny in the wash.

HI, thats a good point about the velcro Cupcake! it just made me realise the same thing happened with my hubby....He too wasnt that keen on changing the nappies after the 3 months cca when i swapped to cloth.
I agree that velro is easier for man then fiddling to find the right fit with poppers. Funny that. This time roung i m intending to do cloth right from birth as i just cant stand to see the amount of disposables going into the bin daily.
I agree that it s much of a trial and error with nappies for best fit for baby. Personaly I prefer snap in options to pockets and for me i found Pop-in nappies brilliant. They are on the "more expensive end" but OSFA so from birth to potty and they are the best night time nappies to I think. With the night time booster (or just extra bamboo insert eg from peapods) , they really did lasted the whole night even on my daughter as a toddler right up to toilet training.
Well, thats my experience:-)
Hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying the 2nd trimestr!
Im just thinking those of you due at the beginning of the month, you ll be soon due for the anotomy scan, isnt it:-) exciting!
Take care!]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:18:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831136&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831136 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Due Date List September 2013]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42950&PID=5831119&title=due-date-list-september-2013#5831119 Author: ARL

I remembered something else about cloth nappies.... My husband has always refused to use any of the nappies that have poppers on the waistband, he will only use the Velcro ones. The poppers are apparently too hard for big man hands to use and he just had too much trouble with them. So he would actually just not change a nappy if we didn't have any clean tots bots!! Lots of other brands have Velcro now too though I think.... I'm not sure if it was just an excuse though anyway.....]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:37:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831056&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831056 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831012&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831012 Author: Cupcake23

Hiya!
The nappy lady workshop is where I got onto cloth nappies, she's really good :) I was totally against cloth until our babe was born and I saw a weeks worth of disposables in the outside bin, was fully disgusting! And modern cloth is totally no hassle and not at all gross. I mainly use tots bots (they do laybuy too I think) they are I think on the expensive side but they are bamboo so very absorbant and totally worth the extra money. Easy for daycare too cos they have Velcro waistbands and are pretty much just like disposables. But I've got lots of others too, the pockets you can get off trade me super cheap are relatively good too, just not so absorbant so leakages were more likely. It was hard with such a skinny boy though, the cheaper ones often didn't have the best fit around the legs. Good to try out a few different brands though dos that's only my opinion....
Anyway, as of yesterday I only have one pair of jeans that fits :(!!! We were leaving to go out and nothing fitted, my 2yr old kept pulling out more pants saying 'are you going to be too fat for these ones too mummy?' So I just went on jeans west site again cos its too much hassle getting there and some of the jeans are only $20!! So I got a few, can't wait til they arrive cos I don't have a lot to wear as most of my old preggy clothes are still a lil big.
Anyone else having flutters yet?
Hope you have all had a good Easter break :) so glad I'm STILL off chocolate so no pig outs here!! ]]> Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:53:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831012&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831012 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5831005&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5831005 Author: Ditto

Kalika, have you considered doing a Nappy Lady cloth diaper workshop. I'm doing one tomorrow. It costs about $20 but as it is subsidized by the city councils you get about $100 worth of product and she has all sort of different kinds that you can play around with and see what you think will be best for you.

hi everyone,
great to read all the post...
as to weight, yes, hard surface is best and carpet can be missleading a lot. I m not sure how much i ve put on.... (last time at midwife appoitment at 9 weeks i did lose weight...)...as i dont have scales at home, i ll just wait till next appointement... mainly to use the same scales:-)
Im now 14 weeks and i do look pregnant... had to take my maternity clothes (mainly pants) out of starage ...already!!! i remember previously i didnt really show till 5 months much, so i m thinking....oh...what size i ll get by September!!!
But it s my third pregnancy and i ve just read that in subsequient pregnancies it s normal to show more and earlier then in the previous ones. I also still feel quite nauseus and off food in the evenings...cant wait for this to ease.
and so keen to able to feel the flutters! could be any time soon, as to what you wrote Cupcake!

Lovely Easter to everyone!!!

Hey Cupcake -
I went to jeanswest and got 2 pairs of mat jeans - one pair of coloured ones and one pair of normal ones. However, since Im a shorty they ordered me a pair of the short ones from Australia. I DID have to pay in AU dollars but then they did the conversion and I only paid the remainder for the pair in store - so I still got the 2 for 109 even thought it meant one pair was like 85 bucks... I only paid 20 for the ones I got in store... does that make sense? The pair from Aus came super fast too. :) Very happy with them so far!]]> Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:36:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830763&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830763 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830744&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830744 Author: Cupcake23

Hi everyone, I'm 17wks tomorrow! Felt the first flutters with my son at 17wks, so this bub was almost 2wks earlier :)

Oh thanks got the heads up on the coloured jeans Tui good, will have to try and make it over there this weekend cos I got told in the store a few weeks ago that when you order online you have to pay in AUD!? I was complaining that I couldn't seem to change the currency, but the prices in AUD are the same as the prices in NZ stores so after the currency conversion you end up paying more than you would by going into the store. Hoping she just didn't know what she was talking about....
If you need any advice on cloth nappies I've been using them since our boy was 4mths and I've tried tonnes of different brands :) although I probably haven't brought any in over 2yrs now and there's lotsa new ones out there. Pretty cool to think I won't have to spend any money on nappies this time round, got a pretty good stash :) might splash out on some 'pretty' ones if we have a girl though....

So disliking just looking heavy at the moment, can't wait to actually look pregnant. How much weight has everyone put on so far? I got out the scales but when I weighed myself in the hall (wood laminate floorboards) had put on 4kg so I took them to the bathroom (tiles) cos I was sure that wasn't right and in there I had only put on 2kg so then just for fun I tried them on the carpet and only weighed 45kg! So I'm not sure which is right (guessing the 2kg?)... Very sure on the carpet wasnt right cos there is no way I've lost weight!!]]> Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:36:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830744&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830744 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830653&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830653 Author: _cat_

Hello, I am 15 weeks now, still not really showing so other that the constant morning sickness that has not even slowed down, I don't really feel overly pregnant. I have signed up for my antenatal class now and I'm so excited, mostly about meeting more pregnant people! :)Everything is going pretty well for me, still can't get over my scan a few weeks back, dislike the fact that I have to wait so long to get another one!

Welcome ARL, I'm 14 weeks with my first too. It's all very exciting.

Went to Jeans West on the weekend and got some coloured maternity jeans for $30, they are clearing the summer stock so all around $30 and you can get other colours online and I'm pretty sure you can still pay for them in store and get free shipping.

Taking daddy-to-be to a cloth nappy workshop next Tuesday, it's strange to be excited about something that will create so much poop & mess, But also so much love. Also just signed up for aqua preggo aerobics, now to just get a swimsuit that will help cover the bump. ]]> Wed, 27 Mar 2013 11:11:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830632&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830632 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830604&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830604 Author: ARL

Hi ladies
I am due with my first baby on 24th September so I'm 14 weeks along! Hubby and I are super excited!!! So far all is well although I did have some bleeding last week which was scary but had an emergency USS and everything looked perfect thankfully!!!! Tummy is starting to expand rapidly so think I will be off to Jeans West this weekend to pick up some so of those maternity jeans! ]]> Wed, 27 Mar 2013 07:32:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830604&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830604 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830224&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830224 Author: sem

Hi all, haven't posted in ages either. We are on holiday atm.

Kalika - I am so happy to read your scan went well!!!

I didn't know Just Jeans did maternity jeans. Good to know though. I've bought a pair at H&M while over here and will pop back into town later today to grab another pair. They are quite cheap and they have heaps to choose from.

Am still avoiding bras where I can but it is so cold over here I need every layer possible so will have a look for some new bras or maternity singlets too.

No flutters here yet. I thought I felt something in bed the other night but nothing since so it must have been something else. Waiting for it very impatiently though!

Still undecided about finding out sex or not. Husband wants too I wanted a surprise but am not sure if I can hold out. I am considering finding out but not telling anybody if we found out and what it is. Not sure if that will work either though. I am terrible with surprises and secrets lol

Hey everyone!! It's so good to read everyones progress! :)

I haven't posted for ages, morning sickness, fainting, and tiredness - with an active toddler in tow, doesn't always leave me much time to post here, yet I seem to find time for FB! lol...anyway I am sorry to say that I will be leaving the September group, moving over to October! We had what was supposedly our 13 week scan on the 4th March, only to discover that I was only 9 weeks! One healthy bubba tho, due on hubbys birthday :). It was a bit deflating hearing I was only that far along as I was hoping the morning sickness would be ending soon haha...

Cupcake, I really like your plan for finding out/not finding out the sex - my Mum would come around and peak though!! Then she'd probably tell us lol!!

We have our 12 week scan next Monday - good luck for September everyone!]]> Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:55:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5830153&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5830153 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829721&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829721 Author: Cupcake23

Hey everyone

Yay we've had rain here! So now we are surrounded by mud instead of dust

I did a Facebook announcement, mainly for extended family and friends that we hardly see, told everyone important either to their faces or email/Skype for the ones that aren't local. Got our 2yr old to pose for a pretty cool photo for the announcement so that was fun

Oh it sucks being sick when you're pregnant! I don't know of anything you can take while pregnant, I'm the overly cautious type though! Your midwife might know of something. I just drank hot lemon honey drinks while preggers with my son, mostly cos they are yummy though

good luck for your scan on Friday!

Felt flutters for the first time yesterday!! I'd had a really sore tummy so it was pretty relieving! And so exciting!

So I think we have come up with a plan for finding out/not finding out the sex... Get the person doing the scan to write the sex on a piece of paper and put it in a envelope (without telling either of us) and then my husband reckons that if we stick it on the fridge I will open it within 3 days-haha which just gives me more determination not to! So I might get my way.... In a way]]> Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:16:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829721&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829721 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Due Date List September 2013]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42950&PID=5829720&title=due-date-list-september-2013#5829720 Author: Crystal108991

We wont be doing FB announcements but that just b/c of my SIL who is struggeling with IVF and we dont want to make her feel worse than she already does.
I also personally like the idea of telling people to their face, even though some of my friends might not find out till they see me and I have a bump.

Ivy, taking your mum for the scan sounds so nice. We have our first scan on Friday morning and are getting pretty excited/nervous for it. I cant wait to send the picture/video if we get one to my dad in Australia, he'll be pretty stoked.

I just developed the worst head cold/flu over the weekend but cant take any time off work this week so am living on tea with honey. Is there any safe medicines I can take that will help. I've never been able to take panadol as it actually leaves me feeling nauseaus a lot of the time.]]> Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:47:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829679&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829679 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829641&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829641 Author: kalika

Great news about the scans Kalika and Ivy!!!!
Im finally on "cloud 9" too....had my first scan this afternoon.
It was so great to see the baby is all fine, the heart beating away and the baby was moving and wriggling all the time... moving legs and arm all over the place!!!
I took my mum with me who s over visiting from Europe at the moment and as at her time there were no scans....so she too was beside herself to see the baby in live motion this early.
So, im soooo relived all is good and finally i will feel comfortable telling people that im pregnant!...

Also i told my 2 older children who are 6 and 4 and my daugher was saying "i knew there s a baby in you tummy"...and my son was already wondering where s the baby going to sit at dinner as there are only 4 chairs at our dining table.... chi:-) so, cute!

Hope everyone is doing well,... with morning sickess and nauseu fading away!!! and good luck for those who have their scans coming up too!!!

Congrats on your scans kalika and ivy! It's a pretty amazing experience huh, I'm such a dork always end up crying a lil!
Thanks for your tips about the jeans kalika, I didn't know you could get them at just jeans too. Last time I pretty much just wore pumpkin patch cos I didn't really know what was out there. This time around though I can definitely see the benefits in those ugly big stretchy bands.... There was no way I would even look at anything with those last time but I got huge (and still refused that kind of thing!) and towards the end I always had the buttons digging in, even breaking skin and I had to start wearing a long singlet tucked in all the time cos your tops start hanging off your bump and I was really scared of showing the bottom of my tummy cos that looks hory. And then in my last weeks (and the extra 10days, naughty bubba!) I started popping the buttons on everything....
So I guess that band would stop the risk of the bottom of your tum being on show, and no digging buttons.... Button and fly looks cooler though

Anyway, just my experience

Just in case there are any left that will fit any of you, belly beyond is having a sale and I got 2 hotmilk bras and a hotmilk breast feeding top all for only $10 each this morning! Don't think there is a lot though so good luck, hotmilk bras are so good and still cute and sexy, totally love them!]]> Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:03:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829302&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829302 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : scan updates]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43095&PID=5829268&title=scan-updates#5829268 Author: Supra34

Oooh lots of activity here!!

Wow so cool that people are feeling flutters, I can't wait for that, will be amazing. I had my 12 wk scan on Wednesday and I was blown away.. I haven't been overly excited about the pregnancy just in case it all went wrong again, and I had mentally prepared myself for bad news. Coping mechanisms I guess!

So when the ultrasound straight away showed a feisty little kicking, punching baby I was amazed! Speechless even lol I definitely feel like I can relax a bit now, just a bit

RE jeans.. I went and bought some maternity jeans yesterday and liked the Just Jeans ones best over the Jeans West ones. The JJ ones have little stretchy panels and still have a dome, zip and belt loops whereas the JW ones have no dome or zip, just pull up and down and have the big stretchy belly band, BUT they only have them in 'long' in the Riccarton mall store which was so dumb! Anyway Just Jeans were my pick. Just FYI for anyone due to go shopping

Hi all, sorry haven't posted for a while. Thanks for the tip about Jeans West maternity jeans, I bought some today and OMG they are so comfy! I never want to go back! I am 12 weeks 4 days today, had my scan on Tuesday. It was awesome to see baby, especially because s/he was very wriggly, and seeing movement was incredible! But also annoying as it took the sonographer ages to get the measurements she needed. I think the fatigue and nausea is finally starting to go, touch wood. I was feeling really amazing the other day until I realised, actually, I was just feeling normal, it's just been so long I'd forgotten what it felt like. Anyway hope everyone's doing ok, nearly through the worst!]]> Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:18:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829250&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829250 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829152&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829152 Author: Cupcake23

I live in a small Waikato town Krystal, only reason it's so bad here though is its a new house and we only moved in a few months ago so we never had grass in the first place and all the trucks turn our dirt into dust. Not everyone around here is surrounded by dirt like us! They've all just got ugly brown grass

we'll get there eventually...
Wish I had a pregnant glow, I got bad skin instead!
Good luck with your scan Tui Good

When I was at my scan the lady said my dates were all good but then when I saw my midwife she said the results said baby was ahead 5days but they only change the dates if its +/- 7days or more so my dates don't change, weird. Hopefully I don't end up with a baby who is 10 days late this time then because it would really be 15....]]> Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:02:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829152&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829152 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829114&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829114 Author: Mummabear16

Hey ladies!

I have been horrible at keeping up with this, getting way too distracted with the Facebook page lol. But it's been great reading through all the posts and seeing all the new members on here :)
Everything has been going great, have had my NT scan and it was awesome seeing my little bubs finally! Sucks that the next one isn't until 20 weeks though.. :(
Only annoying thing is that the scan gave me a different due date compared to the one that my midwife gave me :/
How is everyone going? :)]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2013 19:50:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829114&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829114 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829046&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829046 Author: Tui Good

I just rang Mama Maternity on Monday and they signed me up for a Monday evening class thats not even on there website yet, runs for 6 weeks from early July to mid-August. I know they have a few weekend ones but they do charge for them so we decided Monday evening would work for us even if my partner is a few minutes late to some.

When I spoke to them yesterday they did say they are having major IT problems at the moment but should be fully up & running again by tomorrow.

I'm not sure if Jody has a webpage, I dont think she does. I only know her through playing softball and she always helps my friend who has back problems. I know she specialises in the maternity/family side of things as I was doing up some new logo designs for her but then I had to have surgery on my shoulder and they never went anywhere, I should see if she wants to rehatch those.

I cant wait for the flutters and even our first sonogram, I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and seeing all the other September mom's who are due easrly September makes me pretty excited for whats to come. I've started to have less of the MS but it really depends on how much and what I eat. Still finding the right balance of what will leave me & the hormones in a happy place.]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2013 08:32:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829046&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829046 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829028&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829028 Author: Krystal107780

Cupcake, where are you living? it sounds less than ideal.

I'm 15weeks today :) Soooo excited for these "flutters" to start :) 6months is def a long time to wait but a decent time to plan the next 18years :p

The past few days i have had people from work comment on my "glow" - i love the upsides of pregnancy. If only the positives would stick around well after.

How is everyone else ? Any changes/feelings yet ?

Tui good, how did you get on with mama maternity ? I found alot of their weekend classes booked up until August. I'm yet to contact Jody- i have been super busy. Does she have a website? ]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:17:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829028&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829028 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829018&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829018 Author: Cupcake23

Haha thanks guys, I really hope it rains soon, somedays I can't even hang washing cos of the dust. And it looks like we live in the middle of a desert! Rain doesn't look too likely though...

What week are you Krystal? I'm at 14w 4d, my midwife said I might start feeling flutters around 15wks, I'm so hoping so! I love reading the weekly updates though :) last week apparently bubba would have doubled his/her weight, crazy how fast they grow but still 9mths seems like forever when you're waiting!]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:04:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829018&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829018 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5829003&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5829003 Author: Krystal107780

Thank you so much Tui Good ! I'll contact her later today to discuss- I'm excited for this pain to go.

I've heard mama maternity are quite good although it's a great idea to find one over the weekend so am on the search now :)

Cupcake, that sounds horrible - i hope you get rain soon. Hopefully we are now on the downwards spiral to winter.

I have an app that says my bub is the size of an apple today - i find the apps so wonderful to watch each day.

Hi, hope everyone and their little bumps is doing well and coping ok with the real summer heat....at least the sea is quite warm to cool down:-)

Im still "patiently" avaiting my next weeks scan appointement... still bit nauseus in the evenings, and now my varicous veins came up again...
I ve always had one already since early childhood (hereditory from mum, and grandma)... and now 2 new popped out and got bit more pronounced...and my legs feel tired quickly.
Must be the increasing blood volume.... in my prev. pregnancies i wore compression stockings which are awsome.... but it s just too hot to be wearing these now ...so i m starting to be quite keen on autumn:-)

Cupcake, it s sound so annoying all the dust cloud around your house! Hope it rains soon!!!
Even here its so dry that cracks that opened in our year are wide enough for me to fit whole my hand in it. Havent seen it this dry before...

Have a good trip Sem!! I would actually love a bit of winter right now so I'm a bit lil jealous

I'm so over living in this dust cloud, we got our front lawn leveled just as the water shortage started so can't grow any grass until we are allowed to water it -but that's fine, it's just hard dirt. But we are filling in a gully and leveling out the back so there are usually at least 20 trucks a week driving around out the back so the ground is just really fine dust, it's so disgusting! When it's windy the wind is brown and it covers everything

so over it, bring on winter, and rain please!!
Wow that was a big whinge, ignore it!

I used to have heaps of trouble even just logging in to the ohbaby website, would drive me absolutely mental. Think I emailed them and they fixed something and also told me to clear my cookies and its been no trouble since. Maybe try that?

How is everyone else doing? Good luck for your scan kalika

Does anyone else find it very frustrating to post in Ohbaby? I'll read, decide I want to reply to something, then it won't let me. I have to log out and log in again, then find the forum and where I was up to, by which time I often can't be bothered posting, and can't remember what I was going to say anyway!

Okay, rant over. :)

I've considered home birth. Part of me thinks its a great idea, part of me likes the idea of lovely meals cooked for me :) Will have to think about it more closer to the time.

Thanks for letting me know bout the pain, mine ended up possibly being an ovarian cyst

ended up having to get an impromptu check up at auckland hospital to see what's causing the pain. Was a relief to see baby and know bubs was ok , but now hoping the cyst decides to disappear soon.
I'm like west/central auckland, I just called birthcare last Thursday and signed up for classes in three kings beginning July 1st.

Hi Krystal, I didn't see your post yesterday. I am also in West Auckland and we did our AN classes through the West Aucklands Parents Centre.

You can also do AN classes that run over one weekend which may be more suitable for you guys?

Sorry I can't help with the back pain but I know lots of people who have or are doing pregnancy yoga which can help.

My belly button got shallower and shallower and then just vanished last time too but didn't show till quite late last time and think it will be the same this time around.

Hi Krystal
Welcome and congrats.
I'm in west Auckland too and was suggested to do an antenatal through Mama Maternity, they have 3 locations in West Auckland and lots of other locations across Auckland too. I'm due to call them tomorrow about the classes and get an idea of when is best to go for me too. My partner works crazy hours and isn't normally home till after 7 and the classes we are looking at run 7-9pm.

I also have a friend of a friend who is in the Mt Albert/ St Lukes area who is a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy and infant chiropractic.

I get the odd bit of ligament pain but nothing to bad.

Bummer about the mw Kalika. But yeah I would try and call a few others too. I called two last time and ended up using the second one. During the pregnancy I always thought she was ok but nothing special and that I probably would not use her again next time around. During the birth however she was fabulous so I called her immediately after finding out this time!

I don't really click with her as such but then I am not looking for a best friend, I just want somebody who get my baby safely into the world.

Another stunning day here today and I have energy yay!!! Doing washing and housework and am off to the hairdressers now. 13 weeks today so hopefully I'm over the worst now.

Hi all :)
I'm quite new to this - due with my first, Sep 3rd and over the moon!
We found out Christmas day and couldn't keep the secret between our familys very long and let it out midnight new years.
Touch wood, i'v had the morning sickness and it's passed which is great.
I did have a few tears last night when i looked in the mirror and my belly button had started to disappear. Brought me down to earth and i had quite of a shock that i'm pregnant - even though we have had our 12week scan and saw our little bundle :D. Is anyone else's belly button disappearing ? :p

I'm wondering if anyone on here lives in west auckland and has booked into any anti natal classes - or could recommend one. I'm quite nervous about booking into one due to doing them alone as my partner travels for two weeks and is only back 6 days in a month.

Also if anyone could recommend someone to help with back pain, lately i have been getting sharp pains in my lower right hip/back area. i'm not too sure where to start looking, either it be a chiropractor physio or something total different.

Loveeee the idea of this forum and sharing experiences :)

Congrats to all the other mums/mums to be for Sep2013 :D excited for this wonderful journey.]]> Sat, 09 Mar 2013 11:09:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828704&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828704 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828703&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828703 Author: Cupcake23

Oh that's a shame about your midwife kalika, don't feel bad trying a few out, it's so so important to have one you feel happy and comfortable with. I love my midwife, actually had a bit of a freak out when I got pregnant and had the thought that I might not be able to have her again because we've shifted and I told my husband to ring her and beg her to be my midwife! He wouldn't and luckily I didn't have to beg

totally would've though!
I'd been wondering if you had got to hear the heartbeat, maybe it was better that you didn't have to make the decision?

I've been getting pain in my lower back, mainly when I wake up if I've been sleeping on my back, goes away within an hour or so mostly though. Was almost too intense to cope with by the end of my scan though, was actually glad when it was over.]]> Sat, 09 Mar 2013 11:02:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828703&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828703 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828691&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828691 Author: kalika

Hi all, sorry for being a bit absent! So I went to meet the midwife, and she was 'ok'. I didn't feel I really clicked with her. Talking to my workmate (who knows about the pregnancy) afterwards and it turns out he and his wife had her as their LMC for their last baby just born in Sept last year and they felt the same, she was adequate, did what she needed to do, filled in the forms, but wasn't fab. So I asked if my GP was able to be my LMC and she can't

so I'm going to look for another MW. I feel a bit rubbish shopping around (as I have quite strong loyalties) but I know this is a big thing. She said 11 weeks was too early for the doppler too

Anyone wanting an invite to the FB group PM me with your full email address

Re homebirth: I haven't spoken to anyone specifically, but a girl I was friends with in intermediate had a homebirth in Tasmania, in primitive conditions ie no power (she lives a bit like a hippy) assuming everything was ok, her mother told my father the story. I have no opinion really as I know nothing about birth at all lol (after from it looks intense!!)

I haven't had ligament pain, but have a recurring sore muscle in my right bum cheek, very odd! My yoga instructor gave me an exercise to do with a tennis ball - looks very weird, hubby made sure to mention that

What else is happening with everyone?

May be a way to go if you want something thats not just blue or black.]]> Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:25:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828636&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828636 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828630&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828630 Author: Cupcake23

I just had a look on the jeans west website after you said you had brought some maternity jeans there Sem, they look really cool, there are even skinny jeans yay and coloured ones too :) good prices aswell, might just have to check them out. I wore patch ones last time, but I got huge and refused to buy anymore towards the end and ended up popping buttons in a few pairs

can't wait for the big belly!! Until it gets really big that is.....]]> Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:49:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828630&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828630 <![CDATA[September 2013 Babies : Welcome September 2013 Babies]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828624&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828624 Author: _cat_

I love scans! I just had mine and it was so perfect, the technician person said the baby was so perfectly placed that he wanted to use my photos to show others so I wasn't even charged for my USB movies. It was so great seeing the baby but now I have to wait 8 more weeks for another one :)I hope everyone elses scans are as exciting as mine was.]]> Thu, 07 Mar 2013 19:19:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42905&PID=5828624&title=welcome-september-2013-babies#5828624
