Hello girls,

its been a long time, I am writing here as I was busy these days. But, i make sure to login once in two days to read all your messages. Hope you'll excuse me as i was an active member earlier and slowly reduced posting my messages due to work load.

Well, I am now 33weeks and doing good. My doctor dindn't tell me anything abt babys's position last time when I met her, so i don't know about it. I am still seeing my doctor once in a month, so may be this is the reason why you don't see many updates from me. My next appointment is on Nov 8th, when I'll be 35weeks2days. Hopefully, i'll have frequent appointments from then.

Presently, I am suffering from constipation. But, I don't have heamorroids pain which I had in early pregnancy (and I have used colace medication for a month). I am not having daily bowel movement and it is very irregular which is making me uncomfortable. Can you please suggest what I can do to reduce it?

Did most of you are done with baby shopping? So which breast pump did you all decide to buy. I see many girls voting for Pump in Style by Medela...probably this might be the one which i will also end up buying for sure. Hopoingfortejas....what will you say about this? ...as it is mostly you and I, who were keen on buying breast pump from the beginning :)

I am happy for all you girls here ..for knowing that you are doing here...and sorry for I couldn't reply.


Takecare,
Belly rubs,

suchi replied. Hi..
im frm the nov board and im 36W3days pregnant and i have been facing severe constipation last 2-3 months...one thing that has helped me a lot is drinking half glass of prune juice..or u can buy prunes and soak them overnight and have them in the morning..it really worked for me..so thought of sharing it with u all...
hope it works for u...take care of urself and ur little ones..
good luck ritu replied. Hi Everyone,
Good to hear that all are doing well with little cutie pies.Blessed_mom,it was ur work which was keeping u away from this board.Now board seems to be silent.I think everybody is feeling more tired.
I am also facing constipation nowadays but i was thinking that it is due to diet control.For it i am having plenty of fluid and green salad,sometime it works and sometime it won't.
Nowadays i have craving for sweets,initially i was having for spicy and sour like pickles but now every time i want to eat sweet,may be its due to sweet control.
baby is kicking harder now.i am feeling shortness of breath,cann't do work for a long time.
I didn't start baby shopping yet but now i will do as i feel tired all the time.Only 5-6 weeks are there to hold our little one.Time is flying very fast now.
Take care n luv to ur little angles....

good to hear from both of you. Well i just had my doctors appointment today. I'm now 32weeks and doing okay. My doctor said that the baby is head down and so far everything looks good. My weight gain is also okay.

But i too have been suffering from constipation. I take psyllium husk with warm milk at night, which seems to help me. Also soak raisins overnight and eat them along with the soaked water next day. I hope it works for you blessed_mom!

Golden, i too have been feeling very weak and lazy and have all kinds of aches and pains... in my hips, abdomen and back... The dr says since i'm short it all would happen and is normal!! Shortness of breath is coz the baby is growing bigger and it pushes our lungs and hence it will be there till the baby drops down around 35-37 week... I too feel so thirsty, and feel very hot... and then i drink a lot of water and then keep rushing to the bathroom...

One thing that i have other than all this is a lot of itching on my stomach, i've got horrible red stretch marks on my belly even though i dont scratch it, and put a lot of cocoa butter and coconut oil +camphor it keeps itching the whole day, my dr told me to use hydrocortisone cream for it!so i hope it gets okay.

I plan to buy a manual breast pump harmony by medela even though i plan to be a full time mom. Blessed_mom one of my friends also used pump in style by medela and she was very happy with it.

Well, my friends threw a surprise baby shower for me. which was quite exciting!

So here's all my update so far.
did any of you finalize baby name??

Good luck and love to you n' your li'l ones,
poochy golden replied. Hi blessed_mom,

It's nice to see ur post after such a long time, and to know that everythings just well with u and ur baby.

I too am having some discomforts off and on and was wanting to gather other's opinion as well, but somehow coudnt. Suffering from constipation but am regular with the bowel movement. I feel very weak and lazy if i sit or stand or work for long hrs,there's shortness of breath,i feel very very hot these days,even if AC is on it doent affects me much, i have a wierd urge of eating clay/mud from last couple of weeks (but have not eaten) :)) plus i feel very thirsty too,sleeping at nights has also become very troublesome. I wud like others also who wud read this post to pl share their experiences and comment.

As far as breast pump is concerned so i have opted to be a full time mom (as no one to tk cr of my baby) ,so am not looking for one.

Baby gives me much stroger and harder movements these days :))

Tk cr of urself and luv to ur angel .

gud luck
golden
