In the Company of Pregnant Ladies (No1 Babies Detective Agency pt6)

Mistlethrush You poor thing - just hope the week gets better.

Gilly Thinking of you today. Got my letter about the HSG this morning so hopefully should get it done at the start of the next cycle as it's too late for this one.

Toomuch Congrats on the 12 week scan. It must have been great to see the picture.

Well, I finally managed to finish the hypnotherapy CD. Partly as the acupuncturist rang half way through which disrupted the relaxation a bit, but did mean I didn't fall asleep . Must try and listen to it all the way through without dropping off or being interrupted!

I was hoping I'd be able to get the results of my Days 2 - 4 blood tests today. No sign of them at the GP surgery. I had the blood taken at one hospital and the fertilty consultant's at another so no idea where they are though the receptionist did said she'd check with the doctor as to what the normal procedure is. As our follow-up appointment isn't until August (though will hopefully get a cancellation once all the tests are done), I really don't want to wait until then!

((MT)) Employers can be such ar$es can't they! Hope DS is better today after a good nights kip!

((Hobnobs)) Did you manage to book in another appointment? It sounds like the kind of thing I do all of the time!!

Good luck Gilly!! Let us know how you get on

Hey Nomore!! - big wave to everyone else!!

p.s. can't remember who asked - but I'm 12 weeks - had my scan yesterday and all looks good!!

This week not going as planned.

Had a work review yesterday. Had been promised a promotion last summer and had no feedback to suggest that it wasn't coming - but for my first review last summer apparently there were 'issues' that meant they wouldn't promote me. Pressed for a 6 month review of this which they accepted. Had that review - yes, you're doing everything we wanted, carry on and you'll get promoted in the summer. But WHAT AM I DOING WRONG NOW THAT YOU WON'T PROMOTE ME NOW!!!!

Then I had the allergy test today. They only tested paracetamol with the prick test - and it didn't come up which meant that they can't be entirely sure that its paracetamol - however, based on the information that I gave the consultant, he said avoid ibruprofen, nurofen, asprin and codine. In terms of paracetamol, the only thing that they can do now is to do a test whereby they give me a little and increase it gradually up to a full dose and see what happens I explained about seeing the recurrent mc unit (Thurs) and ttc - I can't do the test if I'm pregnant. However, that would potentially mean that I might be pregnant and not able to use any pain killers of any sort!

Then ds a pain this evening - lots of whinging, crying, being not nice - I think he'd probably gone without a nap at nursery and it meant that he was overtired.

So not feeling particularly calm this evening!

Hope you don't have long to wait Scorpio.

Toomuch Lots of hugs. Hope you feel better soon.

Good luck with the HSG tomorrow, Gilly . I was told that I'd have to wait for the hospital to contact me and then I'd need to ring them at the start of my cycle - she was a bit vague about how long that might take so hope there's not too much of a waiting list.

MT Belated happy birthday to MT junior.

Ready and Nomore Your pram shopping, well, playing sounds fun - you sound braver than me!

Well, I am officially an idiot. I found an acupuncturist who is about 5 minutes from my house and she's had some experience working with couples / women with fertility issues. (DH was a bit cynical and muttered something about placebo effect and as long as I wasn't expecting him to come along, he didn't really care ). We exchanged emails and voicemails and yesterday she sent me an email offering me a couple of times. So, today, I duly trotted off at 5pm, not had too much time to think about the prospect of needles, only to find she didn't turn up. When I rang her after 20 minutes, she said she'd not heard back from me - never mind, email must have got lost in cyberspace. So, having got home, I've just checked my email to realise that although I apologised for not being able to talk to her, I hadn't actually confirmed the time she'd suggested - was literally dashing out of the house so obviously got distracted.

I have managed to fall asleep listening to my hypnotherapy twice now - still not heard the end (probably not helped by being curled up under the duvet!) Might go and listen to it now and see if I can stay awake!

Hello everyone.. I've just dragged myself out of bed where I have been hibernating with a viral infection for a week - feeling very sorry for myself!

Have tried to catch up but my brain isn't working properly..

Have completely ignored all the talk of big babies {ouch}..

Gilly/Nomore - very excited about your impending appointments!

MT - happy birthday MT's DS!

Scorpio - hope she comes soon

sybil - I'm hoping for an average/small size too

ready/nomore - very jealous of your buggy shopping - I was going to go this weekend but was too ill - maybe this weekend

everyone else - big waves...

Don't worry Scorpio, I get it

Sorry, i am not moaning really, just tired and that makes everything worse doesnt it.

Here you go then..

I'll trade places with you Scorpio

Ready

I am miserable today, have had enough. very tired.

PLease, please no more talk of big babies! Lets all think 'average size, average size' for our new mantra.

Scorpio, I really don't think you will have too much longer to wait, fingers crossed you will get your little girl before the weekend!

nomore - my first was 6lb, hows that??

Still pg here, had a very bad nights sleep last night, have had a little nap so feel slightly better.

Don't worry, most people do have a manageable one!

I have a friend who a) gave up having a 'weeekend away without the child(ren)' in Feb and b) was really glad when her 3rd dd, also born in October like her other 2dd, was on time and not late, as this meant she was ONLY 12lbs!!!! (the other 2 having been later and OVER) !!!

Happy Birthday MTJunior

sybil....

My friend had 11lb 15oz baby last week vaginally.

I think Millie will be 8lb 4oz. Reilly was 6lb 11oz and Jamie was 8lb 1oz - hoping for a little gap, not a pound and a half like last time!!

8.8 ...Pahhh!!!! . Ds was 10.5 and he was a week early! Although I wasn't a size 6/8 beforehand, was ENORMOUS with ds - don't know what people were thinking when they saw me out walking the dog...
