jan 2010 mommies :))

HI frens,

SHwetha: wow hat for the baby. its lovely to see newborn in handmade woolens. i am too preparing one baby blanket but i am not sure it will be complete by then.. Good your mom is coming. its great help and get pampered by mom. i am missing my mom too. my in laws are coming and i need to be lil mature in front of them.

Padma: Ya i am too experiencing heart burn in third trimester more often. its fine in morning but as soon as i have my lunch after that it takes a lot of time to feel normal from heartburn. Walking is good in this time. It must be getting difficult for you to manage work n home. Take care. Also feeling less energy these days.

Anitha: i was gaining 9 pounds in every initial months till 5 months now controlling but its like gaining 1 pounds in every 2 3 days. i think try to walk in between work schedule. legs swelling is worrisome so take care of it immediately.i have no idea what to do in legs swelling.(
reg weight my weight comes different when i weigh in gym machine and its different at doc office. but not much difference like 1 2pounds.


Buja: heheh no items for baby. well ya clothes for you a good idea also snan powder. hey this is gud ur mom n mil both are coming together. moms enjoy baby care a lot so u wont be having much sleepless nights after baby comes.

Hey one question to all, in night when you get up to pee do you feel sore mouth badly. when i get up in night i feel my mouth so sore that i need to clean it with water. is this becoz of constipation?

Anitha the weight difference happens to me all the time. Don't know which is accurate. But for me normally it is 1 or 2 pound difference. Food does not make much of difference at the most it can be a pound diff.
My legs(near ankle) are also a little swollen doc said nothing to worry about. It is normal just water retention. Try to limit your salt intake and also keep your feet at an elevated level. Not sure how you can do that in office at least in your house stack pillows and keep your leg on that. Also do some leg exercise like stretching your leg make a round with your feet.

Also everybody is talking about grocery to get from india can you give an example.

Akumar don't mind me asking why aren't your parents coming? I agree you need to behave in front of inlaws.
I remember you telling about the blanket how is done. I have no skill or patience to do that.
I don't think what I am having is heart burn because only my throat hurts. Heart burn starts from chest right. About sore mouth I have no clue about that.

Buja I don't know how I missed that mom and MIL at the same time not sure what to say .

HI Shwetha,

When i got pregnant it was like the case that my in laws will come. nobody asked me and secondly my parents still havnt applied for passport. But i will call them after my in laws will leave. My MIL is nice to me but she is having arthritis or other problems and cant work much so i am not sure how she will manage or how i will hold myself for not to work at that time. So i am getting worried for things but my in laws are too excited for baby so its like things will go on at that time. i think i am thinking too much.

i guess heartburn is acidity and u feel itch in throat too becoz of that.i feel that after heavy lunch or dinner most of the time.

heheh regarding that blanket i have stopped knitting that long time back and again started with croshey now as knitting is impossible for me now and needs a lot of patience .

Hi All .....

Make a pregnancy ticker

Hey Cool girl ........... drink one glass full orange juice n wait if ur baby moves, or eat something sweet and lie on ur left side. i think this time babies are active for some days and some days not moving at all.
if its more than 24 hrs and no movement at all then i think u should call your doc.

Akumar I can imagine it must have been hard. Don't worry everything will workout your hubby will also help. Have faith in God.
You are doing crotchet wow, by the way what is the ultimate piece going to be.

Coolgirl first of all relax. Some days babies move a lot and some days they don't. May be the timing is changed she might be active at night when you are sleeping. As Akumar said try drinking OJ. Do tell us what happened.
Take care.

Hi ladies ....


thanks a lot for your reply ......Lo started moving ......

finally relieved ........

Anitha - yes I am too having little swelling in the legs sometimes.It often happens if I sit for long time.In office I usually keep my legs elevated.Have kept an extra dustbin and covered it and using it for elevating.You can also try it out.

akumar - good that you are doing a blanket for LO.I also got the wool for doing crochet and making something for LO but I hardly get any time to even touch that.May be once I go on leave I will get some time before LO pops out.

Is anyone seeing any stretch marks?
I am applying cocoa butter right from first trimester but still I am seeing light stretch marks on my tummy.I immediately apply cocoa butter or olive oil.Anyone has any better solution to control it?I hope it does not get worse.

Movements of LO for me too is very irregular.I have heard that we should start kick counts after 28 weeks but I find it so difficult as its very inconsistent.Thinking of asking this to GYN.

ok gals...my mom is coming here for 15 days for helping me out with cooking and stuff.Finally I will get some relief from household work.It gets so tiring managing everything

Take care gals....

Akumar,
Some days I have heartburn in the morning, some days in the night, some days throughout the day. There is no pattern. Maybe if I eat late, I'm getting heartburn. My MIL made onion pakora yesterday and I was little hesitant that it will cause heartburn. But it was too good and could not resist it

Good to know that your in-laws are coming. It will be a big relief to get help at this time. Even your MIL will be happy seeing the baby and she will totally forget about arthritis.

Anitha,
I have heard that for foot swelling, you have to keep it raised while sitting. You can get small plastic stool in walmart. Even dustbin idea sounds great. I have a small projection under my desk which I use to rest my foot sometimes. Also take breaks and walk in the parking lot in office. I see lot of my colleagues doing that in the afternoon when it is not very cold.

Deepali,
Enjoy your mom's pampering for the next 15 days. I know how tiring it is at this time to manage everything alone. LOs movement is irregular for me too. I haven't counted any number of kicks so far.

Shwetha,
CPR class was good but I'm afraid I will not try any of those on an infant. It is really scary to give CPR for little babies. But there are some good points from the class like how and when to call 911, how to get help from others in times of emergency, how to prevent choking, etc. But most of the class, they taught about giving CPR only.
