Go Bicnod !! nine to beat.
It could be your lucky 2 lines if you keep it up!

Lemony I really admire your 'guts' for being able to function with all the puking. It is hard to keep happy when feeling totally and utterly shite during pregnancy. The prize is worth it just hard to remember that when feeling crap.
Do you put on any weight or is it hard to keep anything at all down, just enough to function?

Well tried the seasickness bands and any thing else there is to try but I'm just one of those ladies who sicks alot! Medical name hyperemesis something. Was sick a bit worse with dd and was still being sick when I was in labour.

Some days it really gets me down but I'm just so grateful to have got this far , after three years and mmc, so even when I'm crying because I just can't eat I'm saying sorry to dh.

Well enough about me someone pass me a can of warm skol!

Forgot to say nine times wow sore bits must be sore

Bicnod · 27/07/2010 20:14

Umbongo sorry nothing's happening yet you are definitely allowed to stay in the pit for a bit longer. It's looking quite nice in there now I have to say, I like what you've done with the carpet. Can I have warm stella from the can instead of white lightening (that was my beverage of choice at sixth form).

Louja when you seeing GP?

lemonylady sorry about the sickiness - I found eating salt and vinegar crisp sandwiches helped keep the nausea at bay. Also, those seasickness bands helped a bit. And lucozade sport.

notheroldie - keeping fingers crossed for you - and toes and other bits, but not my legs and it's SWI time for me

NOTHEROLDIE · 27/07/2010 17:12

Nice to see you Lemony sorry to hear you still have you head in a bucket. That sucks! I dont know how you cope.
gives large pat on back for sick bucket stamina

Umbongo sorry things STILL havent happened. I really hope they can be sypathetic when advising cos it really is a horrible thing to go through. Hope DH is strong for you. Hugs for tomorrow.

I have gone off chocolate! This HAS to a sign!
AF due any day, tho all a bit vague after MMC and ERPC. I have a heavy womby feeling, iykwim.
Fingers crossed its just a diddy baby getting itself comfy.

Icedlemonmuffin · 27/07/2010 13:28

UmBongo give your dh a list as well, my dh remembered more than me. I was crying too hard to even think straight. Big hugs for tommorow.

Loujalou · 27/07/2010 11:01

FiveAlive you are allowed to lose the plot. I would be. But maybe having a list of questions to take with you just in case your head totally falls off.

UmBongo · 27/07/2010 10:46

I do venture out of the pit for increasingly long periods at the moment, but still haven't miscarried so will no doubt dash headlong back in when I do. Scan tomorrow, so will know more after that, as I will hopefully keep my head screwed on a bit better than last time when it fell straight off, and be able to ask a few more questions!

Loujalou · 27/07/2010 10:15

Maybe LemonMuffinTop you should have asked for more hours at work to get out of the way of your DH! You could have had a break

Youngy if you are ever feeling lonely again you can give this place a spring clean. That is what I usually do - though I would never do anything like that to my own home!!

Icedlemonmuffin · 27/07/2010 09:37

< Lemon stumbles in with sick bucket in tow >

Hello I'm here!

Slowly being driven mad as it's school hols, dh got a week off work and it's raining! Oh and dh got slightly obsessed with painting the hallway, I just want to lie down and feel crap in peace.

So I will join you in the pit, but will keep sick bucket a safe distance from everyone.

NOTHEROLDIE · 27/07/2010 09:01

HELLOOOOOOO......

ANYBODY OUT THERE??

LOU ..?
BICCIE ...?
UMBONGO.....?

are you all still hiding in the pit

NOTHEROLDIE · 26/07/2010 08:57

nearly 9am? yep not too early to start glugging the white lightening.

The pit is getting full there. I'll sling in some toast and butter, and a few decorative wall hangings.
Comfy
Dont worry you wont be in there forever.

Loujalou · 26/07/2010 08:51

[Passes over the extra strength white lightening and a new batch of bloody mary cocktail muffins]

Makes herself comfortable in pit. Maybe we should get some pictures of some good looking men and ear plugs so we can't hear our kids (if we have any).

NOTHEROLDIE · 25/07/2010 22:20

Said to Dh I felt a bit queasy this morning...(hope of all hopes), he replied with yeah I felt a bit sick in the night too.

D'oh and double D'oh!
and I thought it was an early symptom. PAH!

UmBongo · 25/07/2010 22:09

Nothing wrong with being shouty grumpy mummy! There is only so much that nice mummy can take before she goes away and leaves her fishwife twin to take over! Sorry you are having a tough time with sleeping at the moment.

Sorry you are in the pit lou and biccie I've got some comfy cushions and lots of white lightning down here, so pull up a cushion and make yourselves comfy! I am just getting pished down here as nothing has changed in my world!

NOTHEROLDIE · 25/07/2010 17:33

hmmm 2 1/2 hours of returning my little monster into bed 1000 times last night makes me a rather SHOUTY GRUMPY mummy.
Plus its only a few days til AF. And if its not AF then I'm just a shouty grumpy mummy!!
(grumpy faced, not very smiley)

Loujalou · 25/07/2010 09:35

Yay to baby Biccie sleeping. My friend said there are some nice farms in London - one in Kentish Town and one in Vauxhall (or something like that). I need to try them out but we have Whipsinade so close by.

We have been (touch wood) quite like with Adi and his sleeping. Though now he doesn't go to sleep til about 9, unless he doesn't have a nap. Though he usually is happy enough in his cot. Am in no rush to put him in a bed though. At least he is secure in cot and its now at lowest level. Well that is until he climbs out.... then all hell is going to break lose.

OP posts:
Bicnod · 25/07/2010 09:20

I'm there too so at least we're in good company.

Had a good day yesterday as well - lunch with friends then trip to farm park which DS loved then DS slept through last night for the first time in months which was a bit of a Brucey bonus.

Loujalou · 25/07/2010 08:02

Am in pit just hiding it well.

We went to Whipsinade Zoo yesterday and had a fab afternoon and watched Ocean's 13. Lets just say Brad, George and Matt Damon all in one movie makes a happy girl. Who cares about plot or anything stupid like that!

Bicnod · 24/07/2010 20:18

Louja glad you're not in the pit - good idea to go and talk to GP about it.

I know the doc is right, but I've just invested in some more OPKs (ebay cheapies) so will use them until they're used up then try and be brave and go without. She said just SWI every other day from CD10 and you'll be fine - oh if it were only that easy!

umbongo you ok? sending hugs

Feeling very today. My lovely friend told me yesterday that she's 6 weeks pg. Very happy for her but had to paste on a smile which makes me feel like a really shit friend. I honestly am happy for her but just gutted that it hasn't happened for me yet.

Loujalou · 24/07/2010 10:15

Biccie got you a name - kind of MrsGingerNut not cos you are ginger but you are married to one. Anyway was stalking you on the bus and agree with your doctor. Spend money on sexy clothing instead. Better use of money or something from AS. If you want some interest ask lovelybutnaughtylia about her secret drawer

Youngy am going to try to get beyond six. Not sure I could get to 9 but when we were on our honeymoon we would sometimes do it 3 times in a matter of hours. Bics I completely forgot about them. They were orange or were those the boy ones? You can see

Fivealive hope all is well with you and the doctors are looking after you.

Lemonmuffintop hope you are seeing less of the sick bucket!

Am using Fireman Sam whilst I type. Its great for getting a break.

NOTHEROLDIE · 23/07/2010 22:48

Lets keep it up and we could both possibly win 2 lines again. BINGO!
Fingers crossed X (when you're up to it of course!)

UmBongo · 23/07/2010 21:45

Most we managed was every 3 days, that was what won the 2 lines last time I think.

NOTHEROLDIE · 23/07/2010 21:33

And yes 9 is rather excessive but its the doing it everyother day thing. The notches start mounting.

NOTHEROLDIE · 23/07/2010 21:31

I'm trying to type whilst watching the Mentalist. I LUUURVE him. Anyone else have these lustables? Not a real word I made it up

UmBongo · 23/07/2010 21:10

I will nother, I've got some white lightning too. Might as well come down to the park, as there is nowt going on here. (by the way 9 times in a month!!!! Haven't managed that in years!)
