About to start / Just started TTC no.2 (part 3)

Oh Donna, that is devastating and heartbreaking. I am so very sorry to hear that. Your poor sister. How is she holding up?
Hi Windy and Toothpaste - Windy I'm still feeling the same but at least I'm at home and not working. Just resting as much as you can with a two year old and trying to get better. Toothpaste - sorry to hear you're poorly too. I am waiting to feel the baby move too. I know Donna has already felt some fluttering but I think it varies and depends on things like position of the placenta. I think with my DS it was 20 weeks or around then that I felt something. I'm 18 weeks on Friday and hoping to feel something soon. I reckon anything from 18 weeks onwards. Do let me know as soon as you feel anything.

just a quick one. my sister lost her baby im gutted for her she should be 10 weeks but it stopped growing at 7 weeks so sad xxx

Thanks for the birthday wishes and thanks ATruth for the tea and cake, they have been appreciatively scoffed. We didn't do anything major - even I can't be bothered with birthday celebrations so soon after Christmas and New Year. DH took me out for dinner on Saturday which was lovely, but the highlight of my birthday was definitely the scan!

ATruth, if DC#2 is born very close to DS's birthday at least you can do joint parties every year. It will be a bit rubbish for them, but half the work for you - I'm always looking for the silver lining.

Better, I think your attitude to family is spot on tbh. Sadly, it can be better for children if certain people are not in their lives, family should enrich your life, obviously they don't all the time, but if they're really toxic your DC are better off without them.

Hungry, sorry work are messing you about. A word of warning though, if you're too obvious wanting to be let go, that's the last thing they'll do in my experience. I hope you get what you want though!

Mrs, how are you feeling today?

Kt, have you done the digi?

Welcome newbies and good luck to all in the tww xxx

Kt comgrtulations?????? that's great and I think you're allowed to geta little bit excited. A digi test is the best though I agree.
Hungry I'm about to turn 37 (25 jan) and not happy about it!
I'm just turning 15 weeks now. So 16 week mw appt next week and I can't wait to hear heart beat. Haven't had the downs testing results yet but I think no news is good news.
Telling work tomorrow. Not sure they will be over the moon as only beenbackat work 4 months. I will work right up though as we need the money. Not sure whether it will make financial sense to go back after this leave though.
I also have a horrid cold, mrs. Not much u can do is there?
When do u think u start to feel baby move second time? I haven't yet and am desperate too!! Xx

Good morning All, still not very well so have rang in sick today and apologised that it is just after my Xmas holiday and said that I'll be back soon as I'm better. I did text my team leader yesterday to let her know I wasn't well so it would give her the heads up. I don't know why I worry so much but will bad when I go back, just hope they believe me. At end of the day , they can always speak to my gp who saw me yesterday. Anyway a day staying in today for me, lots of hot water and lemon drinks and keeping warm. Tomato soup for lunch etc (I love that at the moment, poorly or not)!
ATruth - how are you? How many weeks are you now?
Welcome Star!
Hungry - any word from work or advice from your friend?
Kt - have you booked an appointment with your gp or midwife? I know what your DH says is right, as it's early days but I'm still like that at 18 weeks on Friday. I think everyone is a bit twitchy until they've had the 20 week scan to be honey but be positive. You're pregnant and that's a wonderful amazing thing. I wonder how many weeks you are. That's what drive me mad, the not knowing his many weeks I was due to lack of period but you should have a better idea. I won't start buying things until after my 20 week scan but I'd love to start looking at baby things. One of my close friends is due with her first baby tomorrow and she has moved down South. I want to go up to Next and buy her a nice baby sleep suit and soft toy or something but I can't until she's actually had the baby. I'm just like that. She is nervous about the birth but I think you are more nervous with your first.

Hi

Also TTC Number 2.
Had DD in September 2012 and I am hoping for a little brother/sister.
8 DAYS PO.
Very tiered and period like pains. Not due to test for another week....
Can`t wait........

Ahh just did a long post and it disappeared! I thought the same atruth! ;) thanks everyone It still hasn't sunk in yet DH doesn't want me to get my hopes up though as its very early days. Thanks hungry will go and get a digi tomoz and hold out till thurs to do that one! lucy hope got your next! Will have everything crossed for you! I didn't really do anything different this cycle apart from DTD a few more times than we have previous cycles! Also I was a bit more relaxed this cycle cause of Xmas and new year, I know that's easier said than done though! & nope won't be needing my docs apt anymore hopefully!

How's everyone else doing? Sorry I'm on my phone so it's hard to go back read comments and remember what everyone else said!!

After not posting for ages, I thought I would make an impact.

Sorry to hear you're poorly mrs. Of course you shouldn't go to work until you're better! Please don't drag yourself in, it will only make you feel worse.

Windy/Utopian - I think DC2 will be born within a week of DS's birthday (my prediction is on his birthday) so I feel your pain with multiple birthdays at the same time!

Windy - Sorry I missed your birthday. Here, have some and

I'm still feeling ridiculously nauseous. Went back to work yesterday and have been staggering around school. I had to buy some new long sleeved dresses to cover the seabands (which make no difference whatsoever btw!) 8 weeks today

I think monster is realllllly pleased for you KT!

Oops. No idea how I managed that! Sorry.

Congratulations KT! Great news.

I'm in tww land which is about as much fun as I recall. Not much in the way of symptoms, a bit bloated but nothing more. I did have some cramping but that has settled. AF isn't due for another wee while so we'll see.

Am on my phone so a bit of a self-centred post.

Hope you're all well and recovered from the festivities.

I posted too soon!

Please your sickness has eased a little hungry, I feel exactly the same about mornings! With dd I was sick every morning for weeks and weeks but then I was working 60+ hour weeks and out driving to work by 6.30 each morning. This time, I've had next to no sickness and I really think it's just due to being able to take my time on a morning. I'm finding the tiredness a total killer this time though! Yes, her birthday is next week! Very exciting!

Just seen your latest mrs it sounds nasty! Did she tell you you could take any medicines to help? Definitely stay off until you're recovered, going out in this weather won't help you!

Hi ladies, good evening
Hi Better - sorry to hear you've had family trouble too and thanks for sharing and your advice. I hope we can reconcile things eventually but at the moment I just can't see how. I feel awful tonight, just eating the roast chicken I made for tea but throat is killing. The doctor had a look down my throat and listened to my chest and said it is an upper respiratory infection, or viral infection, so bottom of my throat and top if my chest. She said she could see a red inflamed side at the back of my throat. No antibiotics but she said to take it easy and rest and plenty of fluids and hopefully it will go and not spread to my chest but to watch out in case it does. I've decided not to go back to work until I'm better. I really hope it doesn't spread or get worse and that it just goes soon. If I miraculously feel better by thurs I will go to work but I don't want to make it worse.

kt that's brilliant!! Hurrah hurrah!!!

lucy it must be your turn now, are you thinking about having a break to fit in with dates or are you just going to keep trying regardless?

How did you get on at the doctors mrs? Sorry to hear about your troubles with your sister. We have some experience of reducing ( or in our case totally cutting) contact with family (my husbands parents) and I know how awful it is, it plays on your mind all the time. I hope you can find a way to let it pass over you (and if you do, let me know!!!) The only useful thing I can tell you, is that from our experience, there wasn't and probably won't ever be a way for us to reconcile BUT neither my husband and I feel that this is unfair on our little girl. People we've spoken to sometimes find that hard to understand, and at first (well for about a year) I also thought we owed it to our daughter to work to keep them in her life etc. but in the end I realised that she wasn't losing out by not seeing them, as they simply aren't nice people. I think it's easy to feel you should take the s**t that family repeatedly give you for the sake of the children involved but now I truly believe that's not the case. All that being said, I remember at the time thinking how much harder I would find it with my own family as opposed to my husbands side. And yours may be a totally different situation and you may in time feel able to forgive and forget. I hope you find the resolution that's right for you, your husband and babies :)

I did a digi the day after my positive FRER, Kt. You should be fine tomorrow. :-)

Your DH sounds like he's very excited! Has it sunk in yet?
