The addictable wagoners have abandoned the waterlogged field back to the safety of the Wagon (with Spa facilities). Thread for those waiting to TTC, those TTC now and other graduates alike!!

Does sound like you need to say something then if she keeps re-emphasising. Maybe next time she says something say something like "You have made that clear to me already. I understand and have told you that I don't expect you to be involved but we have had that conversation now so can we just agree that you find the idea of me being pg and having a baby difficult and I understand that and don't want you to have to be involved. Now can we accept that and move on so that we don't have to have the conversation again?"
Don't know... you may have already tried that...
It must be sooo frustrating for you.

And thanks for encouragement with scan. Just not sure how insane I'll be feeling after another 3 weeks!

Hi GYo!

Your friend does sound like she is a bit eccentric and as if she just totally doesn't understand the idea of having a baby. The fact that she's behaved in this way with other things though suggests to me that she may suffer with Aspergers. I don't normally like making judgements like that but it does sound possible, in which case she really probably doesn't realise how she's making you feel and she could be concerned about how the dynamics could change with you being pg and then with a baby.
Not condoning how she's reacted because it's been inappropriate but it really does ring bells of Aspergers.
I don't think you are being unreasonable. How do you think she'd react though if you said something to her to try and reassure her that you don't want her personally involved although you hope she can understand it is exciting for you and DH. What does your DH think?

Just home from work as my afternoon meeting was cancelled and my mind's just not on the job. Going to catch up on my emails from here.

I phoned the EPU and they just phoned me back and have arranged a scan for 1st October - that's a whole 3 weeks away!!! I'll be 8 weeks in theory then and I appreciate it will be 4 weeks earlier than my scan last time round but it just seems a long time away. They said they don't see you before then unless there is a sign that something could be wrong.

I ended up watching all the tennis last night. Following my afternoon sleepathon I wasn't really sleepy and then couldn't go to sleep. Murray did play really well and I think he has a chance against Federer. Not sure whether I'll be staying up tonight though.

Not long to wait now TINKS, though I tell you it's a girl! .
Phew, just done Davina's boxing workout - only 30 mins but quite good and not so tough you won't do it. CALS, I used to do cross-country and have also taught aerobics, but now just do videos and lots of walking. That think about ovulation...hmmm, well it has a grain of truth in that atheletes who train excessively and have a very low body mass index can fail to ovulate as their body isn't healthy enough to sustain a pregnancy, but we're talking running 50 miles a week and in the gym day and night...so ermm think a bit of gentle exercise would be fine (unless you are planning a 50 mile run ). I'm trying to get fit now and into the exercise habit so I can carry on without too much effort in a future pregnancy [smug emoticon]

(But secretly a bit releived as am rubbish at doing girls hair!!! )

Oh Tink - I do think its such a shame when you can't find out at the 20 week scan, but think its quite common not to - the other ladies must have been very lucky! Roll on 3 weeks, what is your gut feeling? I read somewhere that 9/10 women can correctly predict the sex when hypnotised - which I think means that inwardly we must know, IYSWIM?

I knew DS was a boy but didn't want to say anything in case people thought it meant that I would be disappointed with a girl, which I wouldn't have been.

Diege, do you normaly do much exercise? I could do with losing some weight but (and no, this isn't just an excuse) I thought if I started now it could have a negative effecct on ovulation, or have I just made that up so I can continue being a lazy cow?

(Please be kind ladies )

i so want to know what gender i am carrying seem to be only one on both threads who hasnt managed to find out 3-d scan is in just over 3 wks cant wait

Thanks Cals! I'll give 5live a shot I think, and see how long I can keep awake sitting at the laptop . Of course I could go old school and turn the radio on so I can lie in bed, though dh might not be too happy!
Right, I am going to do an exercise dvd as my weight loss has stabilised and I need to shift another half stone..

Is this any use Diege? Perhaps you could listen live or again whilst MN?

Nah, nor me. Plus 10 pm is hours past my bedtime .

Nor us . Not sure I can be arsed with the radio tbh!

Yeah, that's no fair! Think it is on Sky Sports but we don't have it

Enjoy your pampering Cals

Can't believe BBC aren't televising US Open tonight . Will have to listen to 5Live instead - hardly the same thing

I think I ought to get out of bed....

And maybe have a shower...

And have something to eat...

I've been promising myself a lazy day and after a manic weekend (at least it felt it as was first 'normal' weekend since mc) thought it should be today.

I'm starving though so am going to have to give up my cozy sanctuary and have a shower, and get dressed or I'm gonna miss my appt!

Ok - I'm holding you to that Diege!!

Aww Cosmo - you will get tp that blooming stage I promise, and it will be hard remembering how awful you felt - strange but true!
Well fridge is huge!! Didn't realise it had to stand for 12 hours so back to the freezer packs for another day!

Hi ladies,

Thanks for scan congrats. So glad we went for it.

Nat - our scanner is on the blink so haven't been able to upload the images.

Playing - sorry to hear you are still suffering - that is rubbish . My mw did say it should settle by 16 weeks. I still feel like poo (11 weeks tomo). Luckily work have been pretty good so far and after having two weeks of being signed off I have been told I can work from home until I feel ok to go back in. What meds are you on? If mine gets worse might have to go and see the GP, but because my MS is mainly nausea and dry heaving, not actual throwing up, I don't know if they would be able to give me anything.

Still haven't been able to face a hot dinner yet and tend to go to bed at about 7 most nights! Can't wait until I get to the stage where I might actually be able to enjoy being pregnant!

Cals, they have a great website where you can download all their leaflets, plus other useful bits and bobs. They also have e-mail contact details and responded when I e-mailed them within 48 hours. Was very impressed tbh. maybe worth a try for you? [smile[.
Arghh, fridge van is here

Diege I know! DH hasn't twigged yet and I'm hoping when they call on Weds to narrow the window that they will say afternoon. I am very, very excited at the prospect of my new mattress and mattress topper I only hope it lives up to my expectations.

Playing, good to hear from you, was beginning to wonder if everything was OK with you. Sorry its been so hard for you, and hope it gets better soon.

Diege, I got some leaflets from the MA, and DH rang them to find out if there was anyone I could talk to, and he got some phone numbers of some people around my area - but that's been it - is there something I'm not tapping into?
