Hi, I'm good thanks! That's no good about your chest infection, hope it's clearing up!

Yeah fountain gate is hard to walk aroun when you are in pain! I had trouble at the end of my pregnancy too.

We have lived in the area for about 2 years now, we like it apart from as you said a few trouble makers!

Take care and talk soon I hope :)

Welcome AMARA and mum to one so far!!! :wave::wave:

Its great to see a few locals in the area joining!! :)

Im a mum of 4 ( well I will be soon) I have an 8yr old son, a 6yr old step son a 3yr old son and a baby due any day now....Id love to get a bubhub mums group together and perhaps meet at a play gym/centre in Narre Warren or something ( i know there is one at fountain gate and 2 in Hallam)
I will get on to this after I have had my bub as my 3yr old would love more little ones to play with!!

If you are interested in joining our BubHub mums group just let me know...I will add you all to my friends list to make it a bit easier to contact you all(if you dont want to be contacted please feel free not to accept my friend request, no hard feelings :) )

CLUKY Its so good to hear from you, I was wondering how you were going with your new little bundle of joy!! How is your step daughter with him? I bet you are smitten by that gorgeous little man :):smiliedance::babydust1:

I would be interested in that for sure. Of the playcentres that I've visited in the area I think Kidspace is the best. It's in Hallam. It has an enclosed area for bubbies with lots to keep them occupied & a heap of stuff for bigger kids. Massive slides. Adults get a free hot or cold drink with entry. Their food is good value too. They also sell kids books for $2 so I am always adding to the collection. I'd be happy to go wherever but just thought I'd mention what they have there in case others have not been to it.

Hi all I'd love to join you all in a play date :) lol

Mybump my step daughter is fantastic she loves him to bits :) we couldn't be happier in this house, our son is a beautiful, placid little boy who loves his food (little piggy), he put on just under 1kg and grew 2 1/2 cm in just two weeks. Its been found that DS is tounge tied so off to the doctors for us next Monday.

I'm loving every minute of being a new mum, I think it's cause I've waited for so long to be a mum.

I'm starting mothers group on Wednesday and hoping I'm going into a good group :)

Welcome to all the new members, just to recap I'm 32, DH 41, DSD (step daughter) 12, DS 6 weeks this coming Wednesday.

Those who are expecting shortly take care and I can't wait to hear the news on your new arrivals

our son is a beautiful, placid little boy who loves his food (little piggy), he put on just under 1kg and grew 2 1/2 cm in just two weeks.

Clucky - I thought my little man was a piggy, he feeds every 2 hours and eats a tonne. I cant keep up with him and have tried to push his feeds out to 3 hours but he knows what he wants.. I cant wait for the next midwife visit to see how many Kgs he has put on.

Heres hoping all goes well with your Dr visit and that your little one is all ok

Michelle :D

Cluky79

25-04-2011, 17:18

Hey Michelle,
I know what two hourly feeds feel like lol although I'm very lucky he only wakes once during the night and the again at around 7am but during the day oh my lol
He also doesn't like to sleep much in his cot so when Dh isn't home the baby bojourn (sp??) is my savior lol

I'm just making the lactation cookies now in hope that I can build more of a supply so I can express more so DH can do more of the feeds :) at the moment when we run out of express milk we give him some formula.

When's your next nurse visit, I bet your little man has put on heaps too.

I'm not looking forward to seeing the doc about the tongue tie but my sister will come with me if DH can't make it Feww, I think there will be more tears from me than him if they have to snip it.

Regards
Amie

Girlwizard

25-04-2011, 18:42

Hey Amie

Your not alone with the not liking the cot thing.. Logan sleeps solely in his basinette, makes it easier for me to wheel him around the house. He stays in the living room in the day and sleeps beside me at night. I must say that I do not like the thought of having to walk into another room at 2am and 4am in these cold nights we are having lately. Im such a sook, but we dont have the luxury of ducted heating :(

I too am formula supplementing.. I am not getting much supply either :( not with him guzzling it like he does. I worry that he is not getting the right nutrients, my husband keeps telling me he will be fine.. first time mother worries I guess.

My next nurse visit is this Wednesday - I believe they are a laction nurse as well. I just hate how some nurses try to make you feel guilty for formula feeding.. but we will see how it all goes!!

Let me know how you go at the doctor.. fingers crossed for you :fingerscrossed:

Michelle :D

Cluky79

25-04-2011, 20:19

Hey Michelle,
What hospi did you have Logan at?
I had Ethan at St John of god berwick and found out last week that I get a lot of services for free eg lactation consultant and baby massage class.
The city of Casey also have consultants just ask your nurse. I was worried that I wasn't supplying enough to Ethan as well but I suppose the prof is in the pudding lol.
I didn't tell my MCHN on our second visit that we were doing formula top ups because on our first visit she made me feel real bad for giving him formula, so now I tell her the bare minimum when it comes to feeds.

Girlwizard

25-04-2011, 22:15

Hey Amie
I had my screaming little monster at Casey, and they were fantastic. They also have lactation nurses onsite for free as well, they are the nurses that are visiting on Wednesday, but I am unsure of the other services they provide. I didnt really ask or get told, or if I did, I wasnt listening LOL

I also didnt tell my MCHN about the formula but I might have to mention it this time as I dont want to look the liar if they can tell he is formula feed.
We started formula the day I came out of hospital last Sunday because he was screaming the house down at 2am and I had had a rough night at the hospital on the Saturday night with the same behaviour. I was that exhausted that I was crying and my poor hubby was saying he couldnt feed him (obviously cause I was BFing) so poor Darren had to drive up to the 24 hour medical centre up next door to Casey Hospital to buy some formula - since then, we havent had an all nighter, so we figured that the poor little munchkin wasnt getting enough milk.. FORMULA IT IS!!! but these MCHN's are not keen on formula and I really dont want the 3rd degree about how good breast milk is.. blah blah blahhhh I dont take being lectured all that well... hahahahaha..

Amara

26-04-2011, 07:48

Don't stress about formula. My MCHN couldn't give a toss what I used as long as bub was fed. My son was on it from day one as top ups in special care and when I saw the nurse she said 'i will support you whichever way you decide to go'. She organised a LC for me and she told me it was totally fine to give up pumping (major attachment and supply issues) and that was at 5 weeks. This really shocked me as I had heard how pro BFing they all are, but this was not my experience at all so I guess it depends on the MCHN. Mine was also pro cosleeping which they are not supposed to be.

Girlwizard

27-04-2011, 13:18

I had the laction cansultant out at my house today and I told her what we were doing. She didnt seem to care either, said as long as he is putting on weight and is still on the breastmilk it shouldnt make a difference to their development.. HAPPY AS!!!! :hyper: However, I have been told to change formulas..

:) michelle :)

Cluky79

27-04-2011, 19:22

Hey Michelle,
Just wondering what formula she suggested, I have asked but my MHCN said to ask the LC and the LC didn't give me a proper answer.

I went to mothers group today and really enjoyed myself ooppss gotta go little ones crying :wave:

Girlwizard

27-04-2011, 20:14

Hey Amie
Well i was giving S26 newborn and she said that it wasnt the best as it was hard to digest. She recommended Karicare 1 Newbaby.. and if you want a suggestion, they are selling it at $17 a tin at chemist warehouse at the mo

:yes: yes I am cheap !!!!! but I like to save where I can...

Oh im glad you have a good time at mothers group, you obviously got a good group. I am hoping I get a good one too.. Where do you go for yours??

No probs :)
I am very very lucky, my hubby has 4 children to a previous relationship so anytime I feel that Logan is doing something bizarre I am like "Darren, is it normal that...." Poor Daz.. lol
It must be hard trying to get the balance right with your bubba.. Hopefully it gets better when he is weaned into solids.

I dont know where Rossymond is. I am at the MCHN on Fleetwood Drive. I haven't recieved my invite yet.. maybe soon..

I got a kindergarten list from the midwife and they told me to get him booked in ASAP, she told me that 4000 babies are born in the Casey catchment each year and that places are limited ARGH!! no pressure or anything LOL .. Darren and I are yet to sit down and decide on what we want to do. We are only renting here and we have no idea where we will be when Logan is of school age.. I want to stay around here, my mum and sister are in Cranbourne and I dont want to move to far away from my support network.

Jeez I just wrote you an essay.. Sorry :eek:

28-04-2011, 09:13

Thanks so much Michelle,
We started EJ on the S26 newborn then switched to S26 reflux he was really windy and the reflux stopped him from chucking but then he was all backed up for a week then I switched to novolac constipation that seems to work cause now his forever pooping lol but then I worry his pooping too much lol it's a bad cycle oh well trial and error I suppose :)

I'm at Rossymond for MCHN and mothers group it's a really nice and modern centre, I've also heard their good for kinder so I'm going to pop his name down there.
Have you received your invite yet for mothers group?

Hey my MCHN nurse was at Rossmoyne, my mothers group was through there and we still catch up and my dd1 is currently at 4 yr old kinder there. Let msay I am super impressed with the kinder. Her teachers are lovely and DD1 is really happy there. PM me if you want their names because I highly recommend them!!! Also Rossmoyne Kinder has the largest outdoor play area in the city of Casey, it is brilliant!!!
My issue now is which primary school to send her to, but I'm sure that is the last thing from your mind!!!!

bellangel3

28-04-2011, 09:23

Also I forgot to mention make sure you fill in you kinder forms and send them back to the council ASAP to get the kinder you want. I know of people who have missed out on where they wanted to send their kids because they didn't get on to it quick enough and have to travel further in the city of casey than they would like to. As you know there are sooooo many babies!!!! You will have the opportunity to change your preference at any time and that won't affect your position in line, it goes on the date you hand your form in!!!

Even if you don't know where you will be in 4 years, just hand it in ASAP as it will give you piece of mind and it won't cost you anything to pull out later on if you change councils.

Honestly when you have a newborn kinder is far from your mind, but it sneaks up too quickly and now I'm thinking about primary schools:eek:

I can't wait to start a bubhub-mums group for any of you that are interested.. it would be nice to meet some locals as I only know some of the parents through the school my 8yr old ds goes too, we have been in the Casey watchmen for almost 3 yrs, dh 36 works in dandenong and I'm a 26yr old SAHM with my 3yr old ds2, I have a dss who is 6 and he lives with us a few days a week.. and fingers crossed the sonographer was right and we have a little princess due anyday now.. the older 2 boys start auskick this weekend@ strathaird oval so I think dh will be taking them to that if I havnt had bubs already cos I don't fancy my waters breaking or going into labour at the footy lol.... anyway I've babbled on enough, its great to see so many locals in here, I look forward to chatting to you all soon :)

Re the kinda thing: if you will be returning to work you don't have to register for kinda as your child can do kinda at daycare. That's what my son will be doing. I never bothered showing an interest in kinda as I knew I'd be working. Just thought I'd mention it in case that is part of the plan for anyone here.

Hey Mel
He is going ok. I think he has a cold or something at the moment, he wont settle and is very congested, he is finding it hard to take a bottle because he cant breathe properly. All he wants is to be held :( I blame his father.. he is sick as well.. so I have 2 babies to look after LOL

I had my DS at St John of god berwick so I can't personally comment on Casey, I have heard good and bad reports from there.

congrats my bump.

Dee i had my son at Dandy so can't help with that but i found them great when my son had his op and all the necessary appointments there. i have heard bad stories about all hospitals in the area including the private ones. The only person i have ever known who absolutely loved her birth did It at Casey so Its possible to have a very positive experience there.

07-05-2011, 14:38

Congrats mybump, hope u and bub are settling into life at home and the feeding us going well.

Mum to one so far - best wishes for a safe and easy delivery of your next bub. Hope the next weeks go nice and quick for u! I wish mine would hurry up, would b a nice Mothers Day pressie!!!

Re the hospital, can't comment there since I am booked into south eastern for my 1st.

I didnt have any dramas at Casey. They were all very friendly and helpful from day one right thru the labour and the 4 days I had to stay. I saw about 10 diff midwives and they were all excellent.

Congrats on the baby mybump!!

Hey ladies, just letting u know that I had a baby boy on May 18 - Kai Ethan weighing 8lb 10oz. I was induced as I was 8 days over. He's very demanding during the day feeding every 1.5 hrs or so and very hard to settle but thankfully he's great at night and feeding every 3-4 hrs. He's such a cutie though, can't believe he's already a week old!

Mel1978

26-05-2011, 20:59

Mum to one so far- hope u dont go 8 days over like me. Hope you have an easy birth and that bub arrives soon for you, until then enjoy the luxury of not having to do feeds in the early cold hrs of the morning.

Good evening everyone.

I am a mum to a 20 month old and have just found out that I am pregnant again, so very excited. I was very glad to stumble on this forum as I would love to get to know some mums in the area. I look forward to sharing in your journeys.

Mum to one- thankyou for welcoming me. I am sure you are very busy. I rembember how busy I was with one let alone two!

Missytack- Congratulations! If you wan't to catch up one evening (I live in Narre South) to discuss, that would be great. Not that I am an expert or anything, just that last time I felt overwhelmed and this time it has been much easier to organise everything.

My update: I went to the obs yesterday (after only having done a home pregancy test) expecting to be 7 weeks pregant, and she thinks that I am 12 weeks! It was big, had arms and legs and was moving! So that has shocked me a bit. I am going to have a detailed ultrasound next week so that I can get a more accurate date. Weired because although I don't know the exact date of my period I have had one in the last 10 weeks! She didn't seem concerned though.

I hope everyone is well and has a good weekend.

Hello!
I am 24 and have just found out I'm pregnant!! Im due in April 2012...
I live in Belgrave but am constantly in Cranbourne as my DP family lives there. I'm really excited, surprised and a little worried... There is so much to learn in such a quick time frame!!! This Sunday DP and I are going to look at Angliss Hospital in ferntree gully, heard it's maternity ward is amazing!! So then I can go back to the doctor and get all my referrals and book my first scan... Any tips? Tricks? With everything!! Lol
Xx

Hi MissyTack...welcome:bigwelcome: and CONGRATS!!!:celebrate::smiliedance: I hope your tour of the Angliss was good, I had ds2 there 3 yrs ago and it was great!! }If you havnt had your scan yet, make sure you drink lots of water and dont PEE!!:freakingout: lol the more fluid in your bladder the better the scans are as they are clearer for some reason...

I found the forums in bubhub to be FANTASTIC even when pregnant with my 3rd so dont be afraid to ask questions of any type (us women have alllll been through this or about to go through it) either in here or find the relevant topic in the bubhub menu :) I hope you enjoy every part of your pregnancy and hope to see more posts from you soon :)

Hi Tooten :bigwelcome: and CONGRATS!!!:celebrate: how exciting to be further along than you thought!! I always dreamt of finding out when I was 20+ weeks along but unfortunately I found out very early on lol....and dont stress many women have "periods" when they fall pregnant, it does give us a scare sometimes but thats to be expected I guess..... I hope your scan went well and you got to see your "little person" moving around!! how exciting!! :smiliedance:

Hey Girls,
Sorry I haven't been in for a while, I'm now just starting to find the time to pop back onto BH.
Congrats to all that have had their bubs :)
Not sure if you are all aware but there is going to be a baby and toddler expo at the lakeside cultural centre next weekend, it looks like it may be a great event, you can find it on Facebook for more details.
I hope to pop back soon, till the take care :)

Hi I'm Steph I'm 27 and have 2 boys aged 1 & 3 I'd love to form some new friendships with other mums in the area so I can get out of this house and have some fun, I feel like I'm going bonkers and I'm in need of some friends to have coffee and talk about anything other than toys and cartoons lol!!

I have just started a new Facebook group, 'City of Casey Mums' for anyone out there with young children who would like to meet other local mums and make some new friends! Hope to see some of you there, please help me spread the word!

Tooten

05-02-2012, 15:16

Hi All,

I have not participated in the forum for a while, so just touching base. I have a 2 year old son and am 37 weeks pregnant.

I think it is a great idea to develop a support network of local women as it can be so easy to feel isolated. I look forward to participating in discussions and catch ups.

Hi Carmen! Welcome back, I am also fairly new here but embracing the forums with open arms! In another thread, 'looking for mums in Berwick/narre warren', we have arranged a catch up for the local mums at the Old Cheese Factory. The more the merrier!!

Hey all my names Vanina im 28 I have an 18 month old I 've joined cause i would love to meet some mums and hopefully be able to make some friends, cause i go crazy in the house sometimes and im in real need of some adult chat and some laughs :)

06-02-2012, 10:25

I am having trouble finding the infomation about the catch up at the old cheese factory (am new to using forums), please help! :-D

vv27

06-02-2012, 10:45

Hi Tooten if you go to forums and then scroll down to Chat with other parents & local groups playgroups and meets ups then under that you will see local groups and playgroups click on that when u see playgroup get togethers click on it and its in there. Its going to be on this Friday at 3:00pm hope that helped:)

Tooten

07-02-2012, 11:04

Thanks heaps, I have found it! Providing bubs decides to wait for a few days I should be able to make it on Friday. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone.

07-02-2012, 11:31

When are you due Tooten? Hopefully the weather holds up to its ment to rain i think for most of the week

aussiemumoftwo

07-02-2012, 12:34

Hmmm, you're right, the weather isn't looking great. The current forecast is for a cloudy today with isolated rain. Not ideal but there is a sheltered area right on the playground so we should be able to get out of the rain if it does appear. I am still keen to go but lets confirm on Thursday afternoon when the latest weather is revealed. In my mind, a little rain never hurt anyone as long as we can take refuge when needed but of course it is up to how the majority of people feel.

vv27

07-02-2012, 12:45

Yeah same here i don't mind as long as it's not to cold for the little one and it hasnt been really cold just humid so we should be ok. But will see what everyone else thinks.

IVFmumof2

07-02-2012, 19:37

I'm still really looking forward to it :) a little rain is ok if there's a little bit if shelter! I'll check in Thursday for details!

Tooten

08-02-2012, 08:32

I am due on the 23rd of Feb, but my son needed to come at 37 weeks so at 37 weeks and 6 days I am in new territory.
I am keen on catching up even if there is a little bit of rain. I am not familiar with the Old Cheese Factory, but if there is a little shelter it should be okay. If it looks like it will be pouring, perhaps we could re-locate to a play centre or a Mc Donald’s.
See you all on Friday!

aussiemumoftwo

09-02-2012, 08:39

Just to clarify, everyone is welcome to come along tomorrow! The only prerequisites are that you're a Mummy (or soon to be!) and that you are relatively local to Casey area :-) Hopefully we can forge some real friendships! Don't forget to 'like' City of Casey Mums' on Facebook for more information on local events and catch ups!! Can't wait to meet everyone tomorrow at 3pm at The Old Cheese Factory playground! We'll be there tomorrow regardless of a little rain!

IVFmumof2

09-02-2012, 12:01

Yep me & my boys are coming! Can't wait to meet everyone! Looking forward to getting out of the house and letting the boys run around and hopefully exhaust themselves lol!

aussiemumoftwo

10-02-2012, 09:51

Oh dear! The forecast for this afternoon is no longer 'chance of showers' but is now going to be thunderstorms and heavy rain! I am wondering if we should reschedule? I know how disappointing it would be but this is likely to be a little more than a few drops of rain! I don't want people to feel obliged to take their kids out to the park in potentially dangerous walking/driving/playing weather so am happy to postpone to next Friday afternoon if that is the preference? I know there is at least two other mums who are put off by the weather and it would be much more enjoyable if everyone could attend. I'd hate to go ahead with it and have people feel like they're missing out! What do others think?

aussiemumoftwo

10-02-2012, 11:06

And there is the sun! Grrr Melbourne weather! Maybe we just go anyway!? I just want to do what is best for everyone!

aussiemumoftwo

13-02-2012, 18:50

Just confirming that the next catch up is this Friday afternoon at the Old Cheese Factory at 3pm! Really hope to see everyone there! Any local Mummies or Mums-to-be are welcome :-) Updates/weather issues will be posted on the Facebook page if that suits people? Is there anyone here that doesn't have Facebook and needs updates via the forum?
