I finally realized my main pregnancy craving is orange juice

I cannot get enough I have four jugs in the fridge right now! I am drinking Tropicana pasteurized orange juice. But I’m worried about all the sugar intake. But it’s like a tick. I’ll be sitting on the sofa and literally taste it in my mouth. I’ve been balancing it out with filtered water! But that’s ALL I’ve been drinking equal parts orange juice and water 😂

Lol that’s so funny! I’m literally sitting at a gas station right now and sent my boyfriend in to get OJ because I started craving it and was like - is this my first pregnancy craving?!

Same here I’ve been craving orange juice and I usually don’t drink it I woke up at 5 am and wanted orange juice

Maybe it has something to do with the Vitamin C?? 😅. Either way I’m so glad I have a Costco membership. You can buy Tropicana in bulk of 4! 😂

My husband really likes the Crantropical version of Cranberry juice! And usually I do too! But recently I have such an aversion to the smell! I’ve never tried Cranberry Apple, but it sounds so good 🤤

You’re so right! It dilutes it just enough to be enjoyable! Lol!

You know what is so yummy! It’s really yummy to freeze orange juice in a mug and after about 4-5 hours it’s like a frozen treat you can pick at with a spoon. It’s makes it fun to eat, plus it taste goooood!!!

Same? Orange juice and apple juice have really been my only cravings besides one morning crazing syrup

My first pregnancy was mello yellow but this pregnancy stg it’s water. I normally Despise water but I don’t want soda nor juice lol

Im about to buy those plastic popsickle makers I had as a kid and try this! Such a good idea!

I feel like there’s some sort of science behind this! 😂 🍊🧃

Lol SAME! But apple juice! Never been a juice drinker but baby can’t get enough of it. I’ve switched to just fresh pressed but I mix it with water so it’s not too much sugar. Every morning my partner brings me a glass of aj without asking anymore 😂

Hospital Bag?

Hey everyone! When is the right time to pack your hospital bag and what on earth do I need? I see so many different websites and advice on social media that it all gets very overwhelming. Thank you so much for any help.

C-section

Hi ladies, how long does it take to recover from a c-section?

Things you wish you’d do before C-Section

I’m having my section on Sunday, and trying to write a bunch of ‘self-care’ type things I want to do before hand.
Now I’m not talking the practical things like setting up changing or feeding stations etc. I’m talking things for you like shaving your legs or dying your eyebrows 😂
I know from my last section that I’m not gunna feel my best so I want to do everything I can to feel good! I’ve got a fresh haircut already!
So what are some things you did / wish you did before your c section?

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Help!

Stuck on names, I have an Ollie already.

We were set on Hugo but I don’t like any of the shortened nicknames for Hugo and don’t feel it’s as easy to say as Ollie! What do you think?
