Ooh Cupcake, I have my fingers crossed for you! I know you'll have another beautiful baby brother or sister for DS, it will happen even if you have to wait Flowers
Ducky, I don't know about bleeding after pregnancy but could you call your HV and ask her maybe? Maybe it's just some leftovers from the birth? Very glad to hear your little man managed to feed more. I'm so sorry he's been so poorly, poor little chap Flowers

Ducky23 · 20/01/2015 09:42

Cupcake I am crap at organising stuff! I wouldn't be able to do it if it was simple! As if it's poas time already! That has gone quickly! Grin

Lil, I had spd, awful isn't it Confused they offered to refer me to physio but I was told by other people it doesn't help much and it seemed like I would be in pain getting there for no result.

My little man is still very poorly (I know, I know it's only been a day!) but he managed two full feeds in the night and one this morning. Smile

I have no idea if this is AF or not. (Tmi warning) it started yesterday as stringy bright red blood, now it's kind of a very light spotting, almost stopped :-/ seems quick after lochia for AF, last time there was a 3 week gap but it's a bad sign if lochia stops and then you get bright red isn't it Confused

Cupcake92 · 20/01/2015 08:54

Heyy lilla!! Sorry to hear about the SPD! :( it's awful I really do feel for u! It's the worst when it gets to where ud rather not walk as its too painful! As for moving, well done! I moved when I was 35 weeks pregnant, it was so hard! Lol! Glad ur settled tho :) and it's nice to hear from u!

I've only just realised I'm due AF today!!! Omg that's come round fast! Can't do a pg test tho as I don't have any! Haha! And if I ordered them they won't be here till Wednesday or Thursday so I guess I'll test then If no AF? :s this cycle has flew by

Hello everyone! I've just spent the last 3 hours catching up on all the news. Sorry for going AWOL for so long.
Massive congratulations to Lulu and Ducky on your new little chaps! Thanks Thanks I'm very excited for the next new arrivals!
Cupcake, I was so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. You've had such a hard time, I really hope this is your year Thanks
Siarie, I've been suffering from SPD as well - just got diagnosed today. I'm so sympathetic, it's really uncomfortable for me to walk as well, not to mention putting my trousers or shoes on and even getting in and out of bed! Did your doctor recommend anything? Mine said the midwife might refer me to physio (although it doesn't sound like that's going to be much help!)
I'm 28 weeks now and getting very, very impatient to meet my little man! He's been very, very kicky and wriggly for the last two months! I think he's going to be a boisterous boy Grin
We've just moved back to Nottingham, where we're originally from, in order to be nearer to my mum. Had a nightmare move but starting to get settled in our new house now.

Cupcake92 · 19/01/2015 21:16

I'm trying to organise a hen do for my bestie for next month, we have a day event, meal and a night out in nottingham.
She's asked nearly 30. And then left it up to me and her other bridesmaid to organise what to do and surprise her... Well... 3 people have said they can come to the day event ... Me, the other beidesmaid and the bride!!!! No one else will go! Then the meal only 14 people are coming that's including the bride and us and the night out only 9 people!!! So much for being friends! I'm so angry as she's going to be so disappointed :( even her own sisters and mom have said they aren't going. What a night lol!

Hope everyone's okay :) and hope DS is feeling a bit better Ducky

Cupcake92 · 19/01/2015 19:28

Ducky in the 1st year of a babies life he will get lots and lots of colds. But they do tend to sleep more as it helps them get better quicker :) don't worry tho he'll be alright the poor little thing. Flowers

And Siarie iron tablets are awful they made me feel so so poorly I was so glad to get off them!

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 19/01/2015 19:17

Oh Ducky, he is in the wars isn't he! Hope he feels better after the calpol.

Ducky23 · 19/01/2015 18:00

I phoned the drs and they said it's probably a cold, but then he's been asleep all day and I've had to wake him for feeds so called the HV, they said it's probably a cold but get him checked over, so I went back to the gp and they checked his temp and everything and have prescribed calpol. My poor little man Sad

Siarie · 19/01/2015 12:23

Oh Ducky, it's one thing after the next isn't it? Cake

I'm struggling with iron tablets at the moment, I stopped taking them a couple of days ago as they were making things a tad slow Blush, I was literally storing up days and days of food! But now I feel funny again and I'm pale again so need to start taking them again.

I've got a blood test next week for iron, thyroid and also my glucose test so should be able to see how well I'm doing with it.

Ducky23 · 19/01/2015 11:32

Well, it looks like he has a stinking cold Hmm

Siarie · 19/01/2015 09:42

Yay for long sleeps Ducky! Boo for the cough though. I've got one emergency dummy in the cupboard just in case. I want to try soothing using blankets first, both me and DH had a blanket.

Only reason for that is because my niece has her dummy still and she talks with it in. It's hard to hear her, so I'd rather have something that I don't need to wean away. I had my blanket for a long long time! But it doesn't harm so I was left to grow out of it.

I'm 26 weeks today, my app says just one more week left of the secondary trimester now. I can't believe I'll be in the final stage soon?!

Ducky23 · 19/01/2015 08:10

Well he slept until 7.45 Shock but since waking up he seems to have a cough Hmm he seems fine in himself though. There's always something Sad

Cupcake92 · 19/01/2015 07:50

Wow Ducky that's amazing! Well done DS! Can u tell him to teach my DS to sleep like that? lol he was up at 3:30am :( so I'm going to be very tired for work.
And yeah they've always sort of not liked him because of his past and how his family are etc. they always say that he'll never be able to support me and DS. They are all quite old fashioned, belive the man should provide and take care of the family etc, where as Im the one to pay for most things and I do everything.

And Lulu she's the one who keeps being late and has him waiting outside in the cold for ages and loosing him money! I said to him u should be mentioning This to head office as its really bad to be opening the shop up an hour late and more than once. All he said was "no I like her she's really nice so I ain't gonna say anything otherwise they won't let me work with her. Besides she's buying me some fags to appologise" I just said he was pathetic.

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 19/01/2015 06:15

Cupcake - constantly texting and talking about a woman at work. Don't put up with that. Stop him mentioning her. I hate mentionitis. It is pathetic. Call him out on it and see what his reaction is.

7 hours!!!! Ducky that is amazing. DS has managed a 4 and a 3. You must be over the moon.

Ducky23 · 19/01/2015 05:05

SadSadSad Cupcake he's an ass.

You mentioned your family wouldn't approve if they knew you were married, is that because they don't like him?

My little man just slept 7 hours straight!!!! BlushBlushBlush

Cupcake92 · 19/01/2015 04:43

That's my biggest fear Lulu. There's a lot of things that if we separated would be very hard. If it was as easy as saying bye bye and him just going I would but it's not that easy :/
He seems to be getting close to a woman at his work anyway as he's constantly texting her and talking about her.
Life is rather hard lol!
But ive made my mind up, once this cycle is over no more TTC until I know what im doing.

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 18/01/2015 22:24

He would not get custody of DS. He is blackmailing you by threatening that Cupcake.

Cupcake92 · 18/01/2015 22:09

I think TTCing may be put on hold if this month isn't successful. As much as I want a baby so so bad, maybe loosing 2 is a sign not to have any more with DH? I dunno. N it's not easy to just go. I'd have to move out as he wouldn't leave n I can't afford deposits n he said to me today "if u ever divorced me u do know I'd take u to court for custody of DS" n I said over my dead body, no one would take my DS away from me, so he said "well that's because u won't divorce me"

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 18/01/2015 22:09

Can't be easy Cupcake but he is what he is. He might grow up as he gets older. You can just hope.

DS is lying on our bed in his sleep suit quite happily kicking his legs and waving his arms. No sign of tiredness or wanting his bottle. Grin

I have been watching Last Tango in Halifax. I love it. DH came up stairs with the baby and left me to it because he was annoying me singing to him and playing with him. Smile

Ducky23 · 18/01/2015 21:15

Yea they have the flat bit Grin ds has the plain hospital ones and some fancy white ones, need to get more as his hospital ones are on the way out!

Stupid DH Confused I know everyone said about accepting him or leaving him but I completely understand that that isn't always possible Hmm

Cupcake92 · 18/01/2015 21:12

Can't stand my DH atm he's so moody recently and being purposely annoying! He needs to grow up. Seriously.

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 18/01/2015 21:00

Teat * not test haha

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 18/01/2015 20:59

Yes Ducky! DS only had nuk ones! Micky mouse ones haha Grin I kept loosing them or they'd get all mucky and id have to go and buy the exact same ones! Do they have a flat bit on the bottom of the test? (If u know what I mean?!)

Lulu it'll feel weird the 1st time going out with out him, I guarantee u'll keep thinking uve left him somewhere then remember he's at home with DH Grin

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 18/01/2015 20:58

I found most of them too big for their little mouths, I had the nuk ones as he got them from the hospital. They gave them to him as they put the pain killers on them when he had his canula in and things.

LuluJakey1 · 18/01/2015 20:52

I might go up to town tomorrow and get him one. He is on the sofa on DH's chest now, snuggling. I can leave him with DH tomorrow. First time I will have been out without him.
