Temping, Testing and Tantrums- We've got it all on THE TCC THREAD!

Well I know it's easy for me to say that and the early weeks are the hardest until you get your 10/12 week dating scan, and you can see an actual little person.

I feel it's perfectly acceptable to worry a little about the bean because although you're the home and protector for it, we don't do much (consciously) do we, there is still a feeling of powerlessness should something be wrong.

I know where you're coming from

I'm at work today, then a HE trip with Dd, then off to shops for a fancy dress outfit for Dh, then tea and if it's before Dirty, Sexy, Money that I get to sit down then Ill pop on.

Good temp rise this morning

Morning!

Squack I think yiu are right. I will stop worrying. I didn't have a single symptom with DS, I did wee more after about 20 weeks. But I had no other symptoms until I went into Labour really.

Thanks for helping me.

I'm glad the party went well.

Dh loves Galaxy, but it's too sweet for me. I'm rather partial to some G&B though.

Marmite is the sandwich spread of the devil
I love the recent ad's they've done though, the Paddington bear one is great.

NJI second not leaving the thread during a crucial time. The Pope does not go on his coffee break during mass ( no offence meant to Catholics).

Diege ear-tugging is ime usually a sign of ear infection, poor mite.

Kayz every women is different and each of their pg is different. I would love to be pg and not have m/s, sounds win/win to me. Take care of yourself, the stress of not having m/s is probably worse for you

See ya tomorrow!

Oh, party went well, everyone had a lovely time, muchos presents and cake and balloons, only just got them into bed at 9pm, off to watch telly.

Night from me too xxx

night night chatty ladies

I will do. I have seen a pair I like.

Good!! And I say spend it on shoes!!!

Yes I do. I will wait. I can spend £70 on baby clothes or shoes.

Kay DON'T WORRY!!!! Everyone experiences pregnancy differently, and even if you had been sick with ds1, you wouldn;t necessarily be with this baby. And it sounds like this pregnancy is pretty much like with ds1 (ie, no sickness) anyway, so you have absolutely no grounds for worry!!! Do you hear me woman!!!

My work was lovely. They are very used to it though as there is normally 3 people pregnant at the same time.

I really want a private scan. I have no symptoms and a few of the girls on the Due Dec thread that are panicing about no morning sickness. Its got me a bit paniced too. What do you think? I had no morning sickness with DS and I didnt worry then.

Night LL

Lol Kay, I think about it all the time and I'm not even pregnant . Night LL - sounds a rum business with your work - telling them will give you great satisfaction!

I can not wait to tell my boss I am pg. They stitched me up when I went back to work... cant say too much as I know some of them use MN.

Right ladies I am off now so will speek to you tomorrow....

Night night.

Yes I think about it probably every 2 seconds while I am at work. Roll on November!!!

Soak in the bath sounds good! I know it's a long way ahead, but have you thought about maternity leave etc yet? One of the great benefits of being pregnant, though wouldn;t it be nice is we were like workers in Denmark who get one years full pay!

My hair didn't change at all. I wanted it to go thick as I have very thin hair but it didn't. I might go and get my hair cut tomorrow. I only want an inch or so of the bottom.

I just had a lovely soak in the bath. It was so nice to soak my feet after working all day.

Kay, yes you're right, the funny colour thing is the only noted side effect (for some women), but my hairdresser did a strand test to make sure that my usual colours would still take (and in the same way).
LL, I still have wispy bits too, and dd3 is 2! Just at the temples but not so noticeable no that I have a fringe.

my hair went lovely and thick during pregnacy and the day after I gave birth it all started falling out. gutted. I now have short whispy bits where it is growing back... nice....

Diege, doesn't your hair go funny when its dyed while you are pg? My friend had her hair dyed and it went all patchy and she looked really stupid and then had to have it all cut off.

Hence the reason I wont dye mine. Apparently its very common due to hormones I think.

I never ever coloured my hair when I was expecting DS and I wont with this one. Thank god I decided to dye my hair brown a few weeks ago so I wont get any roots showing. I just can not bring myself to look like a fool.

LL I am so with you on the grey and dark brown business. My natural colour is very dark brown/mousy black, but I started going grey in my teens and have had the hassle of colouring ever since. After many years of splattered bathroom carpets and orange roots, I finally succombed to salon colouring, and now go every 3 weeks for roots, and every 6 for highlights. Tis my life's work, and even if I wanted to give up work I couldn;t - I am truly a slave to the salon . One of my panics is colouring in pregnancy. I know there is no scientific evidence to say don't colour in pregnancy (and I did it every 3 weeks anyway with all 3 dds ) but I'm still a bit about it all. I think it's because I know I can't live with grey roots even for the first 12 weeks and will have to just try and deal with the (unwarranted) worry!

I really want my hair highlighted again. I loved being blond but when I found out I was pg dp banned me as we couldn't afford £70 every 2 months (or so). So I died it dark brown.

I am now going grey and the dark brown makes them stand out....... I cant afford to get highlights soooooooooooooooo wish I could...

Hello! Well just got back from hairdressers can you believe. Had to rush and do school run mid-appointment (my hair takes ages to 'lift') and then go back to have my fringe finished off after...AND I forgot to turn the heating off in the house so we are roasting!! . And she cut 2 inches off !!!! Without telling me!!!! (knackered ends apparently, a bit like some of our dps/dhs at the moment , though not mine I might add .
Poor dd LL Could the ear tugging be a sign of a slight ear infection do you think? Was always a sign with my sister's dd.
Squack - how can you not like Galaxy? . Nat, you are not allowed to leave the thread during testing time, it is written in the group's constitution (there are exceptional circumstances, but our need is far greater than yours!!! Do you have a laptop that you could surrepticiously (sp??) take into the toilet with you while you test??? Without dh knowing?

5 minutes won't be enough - don't you know me at all by now??!!

Nat the first song that played on the radio at work was "If you don't know me by now" How spooky.

My feet are about to drop off. DS is in a bit of a mood. We have discovered he loves Jelly Babies. He has just grabbed my bag of them and eaten 2. Little monkey.

Right Ladies, I am off home now at a more reasonable time today . Speak to you lovely ladies tomorrow.

night NJ
