    I have my due date ultrasound on Monday. So exciting!

    I've been really tired and very nauseous here too. I'm just starting to feel a bit better again and hope it stays that way. And what you're saying, with a toddler you can't rest much. That's hitting me harder too. But hey, we'll get through it.

    I think it's such a hassle!!
    I have 8 bottles for each day.
    Today was the exchange day, but she forgot to put them outside, oops!!! So now I have double bottles, but they'll come pick them up next week.

    My memory is like a sieve!!!!

    Do you guys pee in the collection bag every time? I sometimes don't either, like in the evening, for example. Since I'm not forcing myself to do it every time now, I find it less of a big deal than the first time. And now with vacation coming up, I just don't want to keep thinking about it; we're probably going to be out of the house a lot anyway. So then I just stop using it.

    I try to collect as much as possible, but it also has to stay fun for me.

    No, I don't always do it..
    In the mornings I sometimes still have to do more and then I'm afraid I'll also pick that up

    2 or 3 times a day right when I'm home
    October 1st they're coming here for the last time

  5. DeeDee012 started this #25

    Here they come for the last time in early September.

    How are you feeling otherwise, my?

  6. My1987 #26

    That's great!!!

    As long as I drink enough, it's going well and I'm really starting to feel tired!! Dry eyes

    And you, how are you doing?

  7. DeeDee012 started this #27

    Yeah, much better. As long as I eat and drink well. I take it easy when I've just eaten, then everything stays inside. I've already got quite a bump too, although it wasn't flat to begin with, of course. Luckily, I'm free for now, and after my vacation, I'll tell everyone at work. Then I'll be 13 or 14 weeks. It's almost impossible to hide it now..

    Yeah, I'm really tired too! But that'll pass too. Have you had your first ultrasound yet?

  8. My1987 #28

    I'm working extra right now because of the holidays, doing sports 3 times a week.

    I have my ultrasound on August 17th.

    My work already knows.

    I'm not exactly the slimmest either, but I just lost 5 kilos, so that helps a bit.

  9. DeeDee012 started this #29

    Do you still manage to do that, exercising 3 times a week? I'm completely exhausted after work. Although I do cycle 3 days a week, 10 to 20 kilometers at a good pace. So I do get some exercise, but not really working out. I really don't even want to think about it now. I'm exhausted when I get home..

    Well, it's good, also for the birth later on. It takes a lot of energy, and then it's good to have a good fitness level. That's my experience..

  10. My1987 #30

    They recommend that at the gym too. I'm going from work, but it's only half an hour of exercise each time, which is doable. Later, I'll scale back to 2x. But as long as I can, I'll do it; I find it fun and important.

  11. DeeDee012 started this #31

    Oh yeah, half an hour is indeed doable. Do you also notice that your fitness is lower than before pregnancy? I notice that I get out of breath faster. A lot is happening in my body, of course.

    As long as you feel good doing it, keep on exercising indeed.

  12. My1987 #32

    Yeah, something like that, yeah.
    I couldn’t really muster up the energy today, but I still did it.
    Tomorrow’s Saturday, still have to work, and then a nice weekend ahead....
    And then I’m back at it, heheheheheheh, with my work—you can always keep yourself busy.

  13. Irma 1987 #33

    Hey ladies, how are you doing? How much do you get from "mothers for mothers"? I get a crate per week. I couldn't manage it during my first pregnancy; I was so precise back then.

    I just let myself go once (girl) Irma

  14. My1987 #34

    I find it such a hassle and I'm glad to be done with it hihihihihihih I'm not that strict about it.
    I have 2 crates per week, one clean bottle for each day

  15. Irma 1987 #35

    Just announced it on Facebook, hehe

    Yeah, and I have to drop it off on Tuesday
    And on Wednesday it will be picked up at that anonymous spot

    I didn't participate in my first one,
    but I did for my second.
    Unfortunately, I can't participate in this pregnancy either.
    I'm so busy with work that it just doesn't work out.
    I really feel bad about it.

  17. My1987 #37

    That's so nice!!!!
    It's lovely to read all those reactions; we posted it yesterday.

  18. Tamara #38

    I'm almost 9 weeks now and I'm going to sign up for it. Better to give a bit more until the 16th week than not being able to help others...

  19. Madelene #39

    I really wanted to participate, I just didn’t know how to combine it with my work.
    But anyway, I’m glad I did participate with my second one.

  20. My1987 #40

    I only do it at home in the evenings.
    Mornings are often a no-go because I have to poop right away.
