Hi Playing! Thanks!

Nice to 'see' you! Hope all is well with you.

Diege · 10/10/2008 16:28

Hi Playing!! I had a bfp on Tuesday, but my period isn't due till Monday so very nervous! How are things with you?

Playingthe9monthwait · 10/10/2008 16:16

Hi all, haven't really read the thread just having a quick peek and a sly post when i really should be working.

Deige - do I gather you got a BFP? If so, congratulations!!!

Kay - you're back!! How the devil are you?

Gruf - well doen on your Merit

Hi everyone else

Diege · 10/10/2008 16:15

Thanks girls . I know that nothing I do or think will effect the chances of this one sticking, so will just try and ride it out. If anything does go wrong, I'd far rather it did next week than at 10 weeks like last time anyway! I may pluck up the courage to join the knicker-checkers thread in a week or so so I don't bore you all to death .
Out of interest SES when did you make appointment with GP this time round?

Fantastic news Gruff! V impressive!

Diege - just think back to some of my paranoid posts here over the last 5 - 6 weeks. I know exactly how you feel and if it helps to post your worries and anxieties here then do.

GruffaloSoldier · 10/10/2008 15:11

oh dear I just dropped off there for a bit

Seemed to have gone a bit worse again - yuck.

Anyhow, yes Im pleased. No plans to celebrate as yet. Will probably wait to the worst of this thing is over. then organise something.

Diege, I have been anxious from the moment I got my BFP so dont worry at all, you are not crazy its all normal - especially as what you have been through! Anyway, theres no way whatevr happens you could ever let any of us down!Try and keep positive and just wait and see

Diege · 10/10/2008 14:39

Excellent news GRUFF You must be so pleased as that's a brilliant result .
Any plans for a celebration tonight?

Well my anxieties have started already. Nothing to suggest it but after reading some threads about faint lines I'm getting paranoid that I'm going to have a chemical pregnancy. Really scared to test again in case line gets fainter rather than stronger . Will try not to test again until next Friday when af will be 4 days late - really don't want to let the wagon down by posting bad news after everyone's been so lovely . Does any of that make sense or am I going crazy?

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 10/10/2008 14:28

Wow Gruff - well done Congratulations

GruffaloSoldier · 10/10/2008 14:26

Hey!

Curiosity got the better of me so I phoned my department for my results as found out via email that they only went out today.

Anyway... I got a Pass with Merit which is equivalent to a 2-1 so Im happy! Dont know my exact percentage but should hopefully get that in the post tomorrow!

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 13:42

Bravissimo dont use tape measures. They go on how the woman describes the problems. God knows!!!!!

I'm wearing a 38DD now but I've been that size since having DS 19 months ago. I've ordered some 38E's and I'll just have to hope they fit.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 10/10/2008 13:39

I'm no expert, but wouldn't expect someone over the phone to give you the right size. If you are measuring 40" on the tape measure, then why would they say to get a 38?

I have never ever been measured in a shop, I go and try them on (even if I have to do it sneakily and take other clothes or something into the changing room). Even if you get measured, bras are just like other clothes, what fits from one shop, won't always fit from another shop.

Am quite lucky in that pregnancy doesn't really effect my boobs, I have gone up one cup size but that's it so far, BF is a different matter, last time I had a whole spectrum of different size bras for different days, sometimes hours!

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 13:31

I rang Bravissimo and they said they think I just need to wear 38E or maybe a 38F as its not too tight but the cups are too small and the wire is very unconfortable now.

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 13:29

No 40" I think it must be adding 4" to the number.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 10/10/2008 13:26

Are you actually measuring 44" on the tape measure?

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 13:24

It could be Nat. I measured myself and when I got that size back I got DH to do it and got the same size.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 10/10/2008 13:21

Did you measure yourself or get DH to do it? Maybe the tape measure wasn't straight or something? I just can't see how a piece of material 38" long would fit around 44".

Another thought, a few years ago, they used to add 4" to the back size, they don't do that anymore, but maybe that site is programmed the old way?

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 13:17

This website did. I put in my measurements and thats what it came out with.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 10/10/2008 13:14

Kay, who told you you are a 44D? You'd never get a 38" band done up around 44", it just wouldn't fit.

Diege, LMAO at spelling test You're poor DD, you have to keep it till she is 18!

Diege · 10/10/2008 13:03

Afternoon! Class was good, and now having a large bowel of fruit salad as trying to get my 5 servings of fruit and veg a day .
NAT - thnaks for the thread links Have saved to faves so will have a good read later. It's like getting a big pile of gossipy mags .
ON that note anyone want a new unread copy of Junior Pregnancy and Baby? I have 2 copies (don't ask) of the new edn and will send to first who asks (free postage too) .
GRUFF, agree lots to think of re: work, and lots of people will tell you what they think is best for you!Agree, Phd and young children are a tough mix - I did mine in my nearly 20s straight after degree, and tbh the thought of starting one now makes me quake .
GYO sounds like you have a great job there - maybe you could apply for flexible work - it's a legal entitlement to at least apply and maybe they could add some degree of flexibility for you? It does sound very demanding though!
Great going on clothes-front TINKS . You do know you're going to have to have a 3rd baby to keep up the shopping momentum.
KAYS - I will swop you my boobs for a day (A-B cup, rising to a moderate C when pregnant). I don't envy you, as even though you won't know my worlkd of chicken fillets and padded bras, I can imagine from what my generously-endowed) sister says what a pain it can be .
Right, beat try and get bleedin' cockatiel back in his cage .
Oh and I keep meaning to mention this. Dd2 can 'cornet' as one of the words in her spelling test. My juvenile sense of humour was triggered when I saw that she's written C*nt instead

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 12:58

Bravissimo seem to go up to a 40 back in maternity stuff.

I dont think it can be right 44D. I'm still having to wear my 38DD normal bras. Its so stupid.

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 12:56

I must have missed those Gruff.

GruffaloSoldier · 10/10/2008 12:49

in their maternity bras that is

GruffaloSoldier · 10/10/2008 12:48
