Hi, this thread is nearly full (think you cant add any posts past a 1000, and this one will bring it to 996)

Have started a new thread for us.

new jan 2010 thread here

Hopefully you can follow over!

aww sersi i wish you all the best for tommorrows scan! let us know how you get on.

As for the cat sweet pets are great arent they! I'd keep the stick insects well away urgh.

pepa I have no idea how I am going to get someone to look after my youngest when I go for my appointments but for the reasons you have described I must find a way. your post made me smile though.

The sister from my local EPU phoned me back and was absolutely lovely. She told me I could go for a scan tomorrow morning which is a relief. She laughed at my doctors suggestion of bed rest and wittered on about it all just being so matter of fact for many male GP's and they have no idea of what women go through etc etc. I still have pains but the bleeding has slowed down so keep everything crossed for me.

iateallthecremeeggsyummy - I have a cat, a normally very grumpy and not at all friendly cat. Since before I knew I was pregnant she has been sprawling accross my tummy at any available opportunity, purring loudly.
Also have stick insects but I don't give them any opportunity to crawl over me.

Wow a girl goes away from MN for 4 days and I've got 10 pages of this thread to catch up on!!! Man we can talk!

Sersi keeping my fingers crossed for you. If you are like me with two uncomplicated pregnancies behind me I just feel like I am chancing my luck with number three...makes for one super paranoid hormornal woman!

bethoo congratulations and welcome to the thread. Glad to have another MN expecting #3 here! We can panic about the logistics of 3 together!!

Well the update from this side of the pond is that I had my first midwife appointment this week. My midwife was really nice (not the same lady as I had for my previous two unfortunately as she is on mat leave but still nice.)

The appointment itself was a disaster though. I made the mistake of taking my children with me and they ran RIOT!

There was no-one in the office so the midwife said that they could play in the waiting room with the toys as we went through my medical history - BAD IDEA!! The 3 yr old was just loud (playing the "drums" on any surface he could find) but my 21 month old daughter DISMANTLED the place! (and I am not exaggerating) Books were thrown off shelves, posters ripped taken off notice boards, business cards strewn everywhere you name it she destroyed it.....the m/w kept saying "no really it's ok" when you know she was actually thinking "And you've created another one like these two - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WOMAN!!!!"

So needless to say I will not be taking my little devils darlings back to the midwifes office again!

yayy managed to post some pics!

awww what lovely pics!! such a cute little boy you have there! as for the boxer they both exactly like mine! ill see if i can stick a pic on here and you can see.

So you will have 2 dogs and 2 little ones! gosh your brave!

iateallthecremeeggsyummyi also have a boxer ,he is at work with me now. we recently bought a cavalier king charles spaniel puppy who is the bane of my life . i had two boxer (brothers) but the other sadly past away a couple of years ago, he is on my profile page if yu want to see.

bethoo yep my work trousers are resigned to below my belly even though my belly isnt growing, strange isnt it!

hi Biccy, sounds very similar to me, when i had mc i didnt have cramps just the bleeding so was slightly worried but like you its nothing like period pains thankfully.
Its def nerve wracking because im tempted to go to EPU for a scan but i know i musst wait for the letter to arrive. I was told by midwife early scans are ussually done within 6 weeks of first bfp, well today is 3 weeks so i know i will be scanned within the next 3 weeks.
Im so tired right now i might even go have a nap, or stick a dvd in, grab the duver and snooze a bit. Im still in my dressing gown! Lazy i know but im not doing anything today or seeing anyone so i can get away with it!

Does anyone have any pets by any chance? My dog spends most of his time lounging across my belly which isnt that good as i end up lifting my boobs where there being squished! Hes a boxer dog and very very big, so nope its not that my boobs are on the floor yet...........

Now what to watch..... Dirty dancing me thinks, although i'll no doubt be blubbing when he drives of in his car, then comes back saying 'Nobody put baby in the corner' sob sob sob.

Hope your all crying at silly things to! Best has to be blubbing all the way through BGT final week every night i was a wreck! lol

you're right Biccy - it is nerve wracking. I didn't worry at all about pregnancies 1 & 2 but had nothing to worry about. No unusual symptoms. However, I also didn't know anything, didn't use mumsnet or anything else of the like, and didn't really read any books - ignorance sure is bliss!

bethoo that is somewhat reassuring - hopefully I have had the same thing. although concerned about the pain - fingers crossed it is just ligaments or whatever.
