Think I had af 3 weeks after giving birth to Thomas. So I was due yesterday. Still no sign yet and no cramping or anything... I've always had a 28 day cyle since going on the pill 14 years ago, even after having DS1. So, I've no idea what's going on. I guess I'll wait a few more days and maybe test again if af still isn't here. Pregnancy tests are so flipping expensive here in Belgium though - ?8 for a supermarket own brand one! Think I might stock up when we come over to the UK this weekend!

Weather is rubbishhre too. I wanted to try and tackle some of our new garden today, but it's been pouring with rain on and off all day. Where did Summer go? Is this because I now have a garden I wonder?

ellypoo I've made a cake and I'm going to sit down now with some hot chocolate. Its a healthy cake made with branflakes. And an options chocolate.

Ellypoo · 11/06/2012 16:23

That's great news Orion, you must be really relieved.

When was AF due amyboo?

Can you go home and have hot chocolate & pj's Fan? Horrid crappy 'summer' weather :(

Great news orion

Whatevertheweather · 11/06/2012 15:11

So pleased everything is looking well Orion another hurdle overcome x

fanjodisfunction · 11/06/2012 14:02

orion so glad it went well, how is the news sinking in that's its a girl?

ellypoo I've lost a stone and a half need to lose half again to be the weight I was when fell pg with Fi. But really need to lose a further 2 stone to be in normal weight range.

amyboo AF sucks, but its not over till its here.

I am soaked!

orion3 · 11/06/2012 13:25

whatever that sounds nasty. I'm sure the baby will be fine but you must be feeling rotten. I hope you can get your feet up and rest.

My scan went well. The heart looks good so far but they'll obviously scan the baby after birth too. I was a complete mess in the waiting room again, quietly sobbing behind a tissue, not wailing. I just can't get a hold of myself in hospitals anymore. It's been less than 6 months since we lost Jude in hospital (sick kids but still feels the same) and as soon as I walk in it all comes back to me. I hope I can get over this before I'm taken in for a section!
Consultant confirmed that it's a girl too.

amyboo · 11/06/2012 11:53

Pah, no af but just got a negative on a pregnancy test. Guess that means that what I thought was af clearly wasn't. Sigh. So, now I'm not sure when we should be ttc. Sigh.

Hope everything goes OK today orion

Ellypoo · 11/06/2012 11:50

I hope it goes well today orion x

Oh that sounds horrid WTW, good that you've got consultants appointment tomorrow to set your mind at rest - I hope the amoxicillin kicks in and starts to work very soon so you start to feel better x

fan - I know exactly what you mean about getting back into diet mode, you have done so well so far, and well done on not gaining anything - that's really good! I have got about 3 stone to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, it just seems so unimportant, but I know it can only help with the whole TTC, so I have to put that to the front of my mind really.

Good luck today Orion let us know how you get on xx

Don't envy you today Fan saw some of your colleagues up by the health centre they did not look amused!! What powerful dream.

Well I've been full of cough and cold for a week or so now so went to the Dr's this morning. I have a bad chest and ear infection and low oxygen levels. Rubbish. So I've got a course of amoxicillin and have been signed off work for a week. Got consultant appt tomorrow - am glad because I'm now feeling a bit panicky about the baby Sad

fanjodisfunction · 11/06/2012 10:08

orion good luck today.

What Orrible weather, I'm drowning working in this, but I'm determined to keep going. Need to get back on the slimming world thing, I've not lost anything in weeks, but luckerly havnt gained, need to lose more!

AngelGeorgie · 11/06/2012 09:32

Good luck Orion cx
Spooky Fan !!! Xx

blizy · 11/06/2012 08:08

Orion- hope all is well today. X

Fan- dreams can feel so very really at times. X

orion3 · 11/06/2012 08:02

fan our dreams can feel very real can't they. It's disorientating.

I have my fetal cardiac scan this morning. I'm really nervous but I hope that it'll be okay because nothing was picked up at the 20 week scan. I think I'll just be worried about every single thing until this baby and dd1 are about 35!

fanjodisfunction · 11/06/2012 06:21

Had a dream last night that I had a baby boy, I went into labour in a corridor of a building but I passed out as it was so quick. We didn't know what to call him, I've woken this morning feeling a little lost, like I miss him. Very weird.

AngelGeorgie · 10/06/2012 22:23

Blizy gosh well done ... You re organised!!! Must do something with our stones xxx
Blue that looks pretty cx
Whatever off on Jemery Kyle are you???? Wink
Blizy have a nice time xxx( meant to say) xxx

blizy · 10/06/2012 22:11

Blue- I don't see why not.

Wtw- No idea where we will be staying!

Bluetinkerbell · 10/06/2012 21:29

Could the pebble be something like this ? Or not?

Whatevertheweather · 10/06/2012 21:12

Blizy Zoe's stone sounds just gorgeous. Perfect for her. Enjoy your break - you'll love monkey world Smile Are you staying in Weymouth?

To be honest - worrying about other people has totally taken my mind of stressing about this little one a bit! Am very grateful that she's an active bunny! 9 weeks to go.

Ellypoo · 10/06/2012 21:03

That sounds lovely blizy, and nice that you can/are making a break out of it.

Wow Wtw, that was one hell of a weekend. I hope everything settles
Down, and you can relax.

Angle- I'm coming down tomorrow, I'm just tagging along with Dh ( he is working in London). I will sight see when he works. He has taken thurs/fri off, we will drive to Dorset for monkey world and head up to Staffordshire on sat morning.

Zoe's stone is all painted, it is sky blue with a bright pink bitterly and her name and d.o.b written on. Much better than last years sharpie effort!

Ellypoo · 10/06/2012 20:58

Oh I can't even count the number of people who have asked me when we'll be able to/when will we start trying again - as if they think that's all it will take to make me 'feel better'. Although I do know that the only thing that is keeping me going is the hope that I will have another baby - I really don't know what I'd do without this hope but I have to say that as each month of ttc goes by, that glimmer of hope and positivity diminishes a bit and takes me right back.
crikey wtw, sounds like you've had a major wknd for fam

fanjodisfunction · 10/06/2012 20:21

Thanks angel I'm going to have to think about it and plan to see if I can come, I shall let you all know in a day or two. It would be nice to all meet up. Its a long old drive for me on my own.

AngelGeorgie · 10/06/2012 20:18

Think they re left there forever. We saw stones years old , last year ( think the garden has been opened 11 years) ... Can paint them any way you want & we left 2 for Georgie last year 1 from me & Ant, 1 from my folks.
SANDS do provide indelible pens etc at the service , that's where we got our stones from last year but they were grey & didn t stand out much. My mum has got some bright white ones from??? Somewhere for us to take this year.. Xcx
The garden is beautiful all designed with meaning. Very pretty & peaceful.
Although a sad day also somewhat bitter sweet but feel I owe that day to Georgie xxxc
