Morning

Tink enjoy Mothercare shop

Diege, sounds like the conference was worth it

Glask glad MW's went so well I'm with you on the shitty night, contractions went about 11.30, got into bed, within 5 minutes DS2 started absolutely screaming his head off/crying, rushed into him, nothing seemed wrong, so settled him and got back into bed, but the jumping out of bed started the contractions again, 10 minutes later DS2 screamed again, worried about him waking DS1 up so I brought him downstairs and dozed on the sofa with him for an hour or so in between contractions, then DH came down and said he couldn't sleep knowing I was down here on my own, so we all 3 of us got back into our bed, and there was the last of my sleep, between DS2 kicking about and groaning every now and then, and the contractions think I managed about an hour in total.

Have just nipped into town again, needed a proper coffee! Went into this shop that I've never been in before, B and something bargains it was called, can't remember the something! Anyway, turned out to be a cheap tat place, but I got to the last aisle having only picked up a bar of galaxy (obviously!) and they had a load of Postman Pat toys - DS2 squealed with delight, so I have now bought more stuff for DS2 xmas, which means I have to play catch up for DS1.... t'is going to carry on like this till xmas isn't it?

morning Tink and Diege (and anyone lurking)

Tink- i'm of your baby trip today... i can't wait to be going buying... though i've half promised myself i wont buy anthing like bedding and clothes till i know the sex, so still another 10wks for me!!

Diege- Working from home??? dont you mean MNing all day???

As for me, not up to much today, just had a couple of things end on ebay this morning... have been very sick this morning so far so ended up taking a dose of my medicine again (only my second dose in 5 days!!!)

MW app last night went good... i'm perfectly normal, and not as overweight as i thought... as i am a little over my recommended BMI i'll be needing a glucose test later on but i'm sure it'll be fine, i'm no bigger than i was when pg with DD. Should get my scan date through the post within the next week so getting all exited!! DH has said he'll buy me a doppler too!! (getting the same one as you Tink!!)

Right i'm gonna slob on the couch all morning, hoping i can get a sleep later, had a rough night last night!!

Morning!
Enjoy your trip to Mothercare TINKS It's a lovely time buying bedding etc - have fond memories!
Working from home today, but have builders here putting down boards in the loft so is very loud! Sod's law I do actually have stuff to do too with this new commission .
Right, best get on - hope everyone has good days

morning

tumbleweed city again

glad conference went well diege
we are off to look in mothercare this morning looking @ getting bedding

diege glad you had a nice time!!

evening everyone you have all been very quiet today. Hope you are all well...

Hello!!!!! I'm back from London - had a fab time fitting in the touristy things as well as attending the Conference. Interesting conf - did you know that by 2009 the gov are promising one to one care with the same midwife from booking in to labour?
Will read through the posts before bed, but just wanted to say hi and stop that tumbleweed in its tracks!
Am on cd 10, and got a neg tonight from opk, but will keep on trying to catch the egg this month!

yeah i feel great now i'm off them!!

hope you mw app is ok, i'm all exited for mine!! hopefully she'll book my scan app there and then too as its in the same waiting room aswaiting for her!!

hi glas

sounds like you are doing very well
it is very daunting stopping taking them isnt it.
good luck with midwife that is exciting.
sounds like you are having a great realxing week
i am 24 weeks tom and have midwife tom @ 2:45pm everything she will be doing they did before consultant appoinment yesterday

Morning all!!

not been on all week as been trying to get used to no meds... hasn't been half as bad as i expected!! only taken one dose since sunday!! doing very well so far!!

Got my first midwife appointment this evening (god knows why its so late!!) and i'm 10+2 wks today!!

DH is on a weeks holiday which is nice as he's been doing the nursery runs with DS and i've been having mainly lazy days with an afternoon nap!! its been heaven!!

morning

ses - not long till scan now try not to worry

nat lol @ dream how funny
i have been moody too felt tired yesterday now i feel even more tired.
dropping dd @ nursery then doing food shop in tesco and then relxing infront of t.v
our 3-d scan is a week scan this time bean had better not have legs crossed.

have set up cot in room when is it ok to put bedding in baby wont be going into cot till they r 6 months. just looks alot nicer rather than matress in plastic bag

I know it seems like a lifetime away till the scan, but it will go quick enough. Can you plan something for each day? Kind of stepping stones?

I really must go and get DS2 ready, will be back later no doubt!

BTW, if the Sky+'ed chinese wasn't so strange, I would have been ing at me tipping her plate up, I'd be more likely to scrape it in the bin, think of the mess of rice everywhere....!

Morning

Ses try not to worry, sickness isn't a good sign to go off, some people can be really sick with girls, and none with boys, or just different pregnancies equals differing amounts of sickness. Having sickness unfortunately doesn't mean that all is well, and as others have said (I think you included) even after things have gone wrong you can still get symptoms for a long time (I had a big bump from the day I lost my baby, and it stayed for about 2 weeks before it started going)

Besides, silly dreams are all part of pregnancy, I had one last night that we stayed at my mums house, one of my sisters was there (we have a long running fued between us, we kind of stay polite for mum's sake but do our best not to see each other if we can help it) we were all having a chinese take away and my sister was dishing it all out for everyone, she gave my DH a tiny spoonfull of rice and gave herself the rest of the rice, argument started, I tipped her plate up in temper, and then DH realised that we'd Sky plussed our chinese at home so we would have it the next day anyway.....

So sorry for scarpering so quickly LB, and especially after settling down for a proper catch up, DH was earlier than expected and I was trying to rush round doing my 'making it look like I've actually done something today' thing!

Tink glad the apt. went so well

Heebee, Good luck for Thursday, I will be thinking of you

Anyway, am now going to eat some dinner and relax for a while before bed! G'night everyone xxx

Evening all

LB - ouch re the abscess!!! I hope it clears up soon and I agree would be more of a risk not taking the antibiotics than taking them..

Tink - glad to hear the appointment went well and great to hear about the water birth!!!

NJ - never mind the hormones, just having had your weekend would have reduced me to tears - I hate the house being turned upside down/cleared out.

Finished taking the clomid for this month. DH has reported I have definitely been grumpy/pmt'ish, but other than that (so far) I seem to not have too many side effects. Off to the hospital on Thurs so will report back how I get on then!

hi consultant went well

has given me the go ahead for giving birth in our local birthing centre will try this time for a water birth which is what i was going to have with dd.
nurse took blood pressure all fine,analyzed wee sample - fine,listened to baby and measured which we werent expecting all great!!.
have put dds car seat in the car is much better
and cot is in dds bedroom ready for the baby

Thanks ses hope you get your laptop sorted soon........

night NJ have a nice evening...

Yes, those hormones are playing up a bit here as well... DH said to me on Sunday all very concerned "You're getting a bit upset very easily recently, is it all the hormones or is something wrong?" me "me? upset? Oh no, I'm fine, I don't mind my house being upside down, my hips not working without clicking, my uterus feeling like it has a lead weight in it, my back feeling like a wrecking ball is hitting it...." yada yada yada... LOL Bless him, I went on for so long I even ended up laughing at myself

DH is home, we are off to Tesco - again

Have a nice night everyone xxx
