It's same amount of appts unless you are deemed higher risk Smile

21 I don't drink so didn't need to stop when ttc. I come from a rather long line of alcoholics and that's not a road I want to go down.

cd13 today - another flashing smiley (so glad I got them free!) finally managed to dtd last night Grin

That's good because I'd worry if I hardly saw my midwife. I imagine id be high risk because of csection and my early labour. If I'm not then on going to be very worried :s

Ducky they should not be taking ur high risk away! How stupid can they be?!! Did they give a reason to why they did that?

Ducky23 · 08/08/2014 06:47

As far as I was aware cupcake you have the set appts again like first time, then if your 'high risk' they squeeze more in (unless your like me and they forget how much they fucked up and take your high risk awayBlush)

Cupcake92 · 07/08/2014 22:56

Apparently for your 2nd baby u don't see the midwife as often as u did with ur first?
Or would I still see her often if I'm consultant led?
I still don't understand any of this haha

Cocktails sounds good me. I had my large glass of red it went down well.

Thats so sweet lulu I always thought the first movements felt a bit like wind haha.

Cupcake92 · 07/08/2014 21:38

Lulu that's so exciting! :)
And yum yum! I could eat some scones right now.

Me... I'm so jealous!!! I'd love a cocktail! Mmmm!

Me624 · 07/08/2014 21:23

21 I most definitely haven't given up alcohol while ttc! Just on my way home from after work cocktails!

LuluJakey1 · 07/08/2014 20:55

Yes, that is what it feels like Cupcake, popping bubbles. I thought it might be it but wasn't sure. That's really exciting.

DH has started his baking today after The Great British Bake Off last night. He made fruit scones and they were nice I have to admit. Tomorrow morning it is fruit scones and a Victoria sandwich cake with cream and strawberries. He is making afternoon tea for his mum and dad who are coming up for the weekend. He is very smug and pleased with himself. Said 'There's not much to this baking really. It is just following a recipe' . unbearable

Cupcake92 · 07/08/2014 20:50

On 21 migraines are awful!! Bet that was horrible for u :(

Ducky maybe ur right, I'll let u know once I find out the sex and if it's a girl that theory has to be right! :p

Lulu sounds like it could be baby moving!!! :D how exciting!!
When I felt DS it was like popping bubbles in my belly it was so weird!

LuluJakey1 · 07/08/2014 19:33

Me624- oh you are just a young thing as well! I am 35. and this is my first.

For the last couple of days I have had a funny feeling- like bubbles or very slight tapping - I think it might be the baby but I don't know how it feels when you first feel it move. Does that sound right to anyone?

Ducky23 · 07/08/2014 19:10

I still drank when TTC, think it was the only thing keeping me sane! Grin

I had headaches early pg cupcake Smile has been totally differnt this time aswell, maybe it's true about boys no ms and all that Smile

21questions · 07/08/2014 18:46

I did cupcake terrible migraines. I suffered with them before but they were worse and more frequent while pregnant.

Touch wood I've not had one for ages. Hope I dont suffer next time.

Cupcake92 · 07/08/2014 18:33

Thanks everyone :)
So glad I have this thread! And I'm glad most of us have stayed on after bfps :) before u know it the whole thread will have their bfps :)

21 I was supposed to quit alcohol whilst TTC but the red wine was just too tempting ! Make the most of it I say!

Anyone else had or gets headaches whilst pregnant?
I seem to be having one a day at least and get very dizzy.
All my symptoms this time round are so different! With DS I had practically nothing !

21questions · 07/08/2014 17:53

Oh been meaning to ask those still ttc on this thread have you given up alcohol?

I could really do with a glass of wine tonight not touched a drop since ttc but one glass occasionally can't hurt can it?

Ducky23 · 07/08/2014 17:50

Well cupcake, what ever you decide we will be here to cheer you on Smile I know it's a load easier said than done about leaving. Thanks

21questions · 07/08/2014 17:21

Hi ladies just catching up been really busy at work.

Hope you are all well Smile

Cupcake sounds like you are having a rough time with dh. You deserve better.

Me624 · 07/08/2014 17:20

Wow all you nice young mums! I'm 27 and if and when I get my bfp will be the first of my close friends to have a baby. DH is 35 so some of his friends have started having them, but none started until their early 30s.

iamdivergent · 07/08/2014 17:03

I was 18 when I had dd1; so was DH - we like to say that we grew up with dd1 which made the whole experience easier for us all Smile

Cupcake92 · 07/08/2014 16:56

We had a little chat lulu but I think it'll take a few more till he listens. But yes he has a lot more growing up to do. A lot.
I'm a very different nearly 22 year old woman! I don't think or act like a 22 year old at all. If u ask my friends and family they say I'm a 30 year old woman trapped In a 22 year olds body haha. I've never really had that stage of going out on the town drinking and things like that as I just never really liked it. I'm a bit strange haha!! I've always wanted family life tho :) I think that's the best. I love my son so much and will love this child just as much too. For me my goal was always to have children. I just love them haha.
I always cope Lulu. Got a strong head on me. :)

LuluJakey1 · 07/08/2014 14:35

Cupcake, I hope you took the opportunity to turn it into a conversation about what you need from him as a parent- financially and support wise. I think you are right- he just isn't mature enough yet but he does not have time to grow up; one baby is here and another is coming and YOU need his help.

I was telling DH and he says he was awful at 21. Had no idea what he wanted to do, worked on a project with disaffected teenagers (basically occupying them with sport) and spent his nights drinking and playing football. Did not want any responsibilities. Pulled himself together a bit at 23 and went to uni. He says he could not have managed a marriage and babies and it would have been a disaster.

You sound lovely, devoted to your little boy and really coping with whatever you have to deal with. I hope your DH grows up. You deserve better.

Good luck Siarie! How lovely that ur going to France bet that'll be nice :) really hope u are able to share some good news!

Iam, that's like mine, DS isn't as attached to DH as I've been with and done everything myself for DS since he was born. And a few days after being home after his was born I was rushed back to hospital and had to take DS with me and we were in there another week. But DH has spoken to me today and has said "I want to be more hands on with our next baby. As I don't think DS is close to me as he is to u"
I hope he is more hands on tbh.

As for back pain I went and got the hot water bottle! lol ! Feels a bit better now :)

iamdivergent · 07/08/2014 10:20

re your backpain, hit water bottle or one of those heat pads?

Another flasher today. didn't dtd last night, stayed up late watching a movie then fell straight asleep Blush thankfully DH did too!

he needs to pull his weight cupcake, it's not fair on you! my DH worked 12 hr days when dd1 was very small until she was about 2, he has a mich closer relationship with dd2 as he was unemployed when she was small. He said he found it difficult as I was bf so he couldn't help with the feeds, but he'd let me sleep for a bit in the day and did bathtimes and bedding when they got that bit older. It's difficult I think if maybe your son seems to prefer you but that will be because it's you who usually does go to him. It took my dds a bit to get used to it when DH took over iykwim?

OP posts:
Siarie · 07/08/2014 10:15

Backpain is the worst, a recent study is suggesting paracetamol doesn't really help very much if at all for back pain! Which is even worse because as you said it's the only thing you can take.

I hope you feel better soon and try not to stress too much xx

I had what's called a fall back rise today, I was really expecting my temp to sore but it didn't so then I frantically searched online and apparently fall back rises are normal? I hope my temp goes up tomorrow :/ I've been having all the signs of ovulation including pains randomly in one side.

I really would like this to be my month ladies, I'm going away to France the end of the month and I want to be able to give my parents in law some good news while we are on holiday with them.
