I cant believe its been a year!!

[Mrs. Turbo]

yeah, that is what I thought..... I might have had one working in the hospital in the last 10 year, but can't remember. Oh well, hopefully I don't hobble too long. I feel like a big baby but it hurts to walk on my flat foot and if I tilt my foot or walk on the heel I get a leg cramp

....ahhh the joys of being pregnant.

What all do you have left that you still need?


Baby Wash, Wipes, alcohol ( not the drinking kind)

socks, changing table cover, water proof lap, safety pins, extra bassinet sheet.

My husband took me shopping today for a nightgown and slippers for me, and a diaper bag and receiving blanket, and a coming home out fit for the baby.

I really need to stock up on chicken food too so it will be here because no else here will take care of the girls unless I do. I need to teach my husband their names also so they are all accounted for at night when he locks them up on the days I am not here. I am so worried about them they really need a lot of water if it is hot and I usually have to check it 2x a day because they will knock it over or fill it with dirt. Then my run it really just a temporary one because we moved in April and I have not had time to make it secure. My silly white leghorn gets out everyday so I have to put her in the dog kennel with food and water. I am sure the pit bull that lives behind us will gladly eat her if it has a chance. We live in a neighborhood with a smallish yard.

There I go stressing again. Sorry about that everyone.

Try to resist stretching if possible.

For leg cramps try to eat a lot of bananas and do not stretch by extending your toes, point your toes toward your body not away from your body.

This varies person to person. Bananas cause me to have leg cramps. I need to take magnesium for relief from muscle cramps. I take an extra 400mg a day when not pregnant and my body just started alerting me that I need more pregnant. I have really bad TMJ and even asked a dr to remove my jaw. Luckily he wouldn't and I found out about magnesium. I have been taking 500 mg a day for 3 years. Most Americans are magnesium deficient. Check out all of the problems related to low magnesium levels on mgwater.com

I used to have TMJ also when I was a teen. I thought it was due to my teeth grinding at night but it turns out it was the filled cavity that was not done right and my teeth grinding eventual solved my problem by wear down the filling. I remember it as extremely painful and and I lived in fear of hearing that popping sound. I am so sorry about your pain.
Good to know about the magnesium.
I know that when I am low in iron I begin eating ice constantly. I told a friend about the relationship between eating ice and low iron. She loved to eat ice like me She went to the doc and sure enough she was low in iron. We do not eat meat at our house usually so we really have to try and get our iron from other things like broccoli. I also take my prenatal vitamins. My doc has encouraged me to take Tums for heartburn because they also have a lot of calcium. prenatal vitamins do not have enough.

I think I've bought everything I need to start with... well, I may still need some more of the covers for my cloth nappies (diapers) but 5 should be enough to be going on with, they dry really quickly so should be ok.

I do need to do laundry though - the nappies need to be washed 3 times before use and I keep putting that off.

if I've forgotten something, I'll just have to ask someone to get it while I'm in hospital.

Well last night I experienced contractions 7 mins apart for 2 hours....then they went away when I went to bed

This morning I woke up to lots of pressure, soreness and some cramping going from the front to the back. The cramping went away when I got up to feed animals, but I still have that heavy pressure feeling and lots of soreness/achyness down there....

 

[wildorchid053]
