Hmmm yes or half a bottle of vodka! I will resist the urge for now but I can't say if I'll be able to stop myself tomorrow! For now I'm going to busy myself with cleaning out the kitchen cupboards!

Congrats on your job. Are they making you work 7 days a week? How can you work so many days? You must get some sort of break?

im fine now thankgoodness....

The drive was fine, parked at dh work so i could relax in the cab....left myself an hour for the 10 min trip and then the bloody taxi guy just didnt understand where i needed to be even though dh had drawn a map i was so in the end i screamed at him to let me out, then i panicked and ran down all different streets trying to find the place while dh was sat in the office on google earth trying to direct me...the heat was just draining and knowing i was late didnt help

kate how was the hen night, did you feel as rough as me?

neeko you just cant stay away can you, i tried and lastest only one hour day! its addictive

jools i wish there was something i could do for you to help relax you, but since im hardly the queen on of relaxation there is nothing i can tell you to do on the plus side one of the ladies here is pregnant 14 weeks and she had a spare clue blue thingy that says the weeks...so i asked her to do it to see what is said ( i told her about you and it reading 1-2 weeks) and guess what hers said 1-2 weeks and she is clearly pregnant, had the scan just the day before! i think you should just pee into the toilet and not on anything else from here on in...deal?

vjay how is the bump? cant wait to see your pics, not long til the scan and we can find out the flavour!

mollie anniecam sabs blue i hope you ladies are all relaxing and taking care of the little beans.....

mm have you gone again? i have missed talking to you, will fb chat to you soon, hope you are well

so how is next with a bfp....im sure some of you are due to test soon? ill try to redo the list so we have it at the start of this page....easier to keep up!

Congratulations on getting the job barbie but what a fiasco getting there, are you OK now?
I might try ironing in the garden .
My eyes are stinging today, I was so tired last night I forgot to take out my contacts, now I'm suffering, dozy cow

i have tried to catch up with everything i missed.....no one else has had a bfp while i was away did they???

Mad mad mad weekend......red bull airshow in abi dhabi on friday, the one where they fly through things etc, you might of seen it on the tv, dashed back to dubai and then out for an all inclusive buffet on friday night.....too much tequila and the rest is history! never been so sick in my life [envy} sick face!...
Spent sat morning trying to come around from the effects of the tequila, still pissed....decided to go to the beach to sleep it off...finally faced macdonalds at 5.30pm that evening before giving up and going back to bed..

Today i had the interview thingy with mac, ended up parking the car and getting a taxi the last 10 mins as its a nightmare to drive, taxi driver got lost (took 45 mins to go just 10 min up the road!).....ended up getting out of the cab and running in heels and the heat with no idea where to go only that i was late at this point.....then i had a panick attack in the street so so scared, dh was on the phone to me and was so worried, thankfully he talked me through it....finally compossed myself and made it to the meeting 15 mins late, i should start work in a few weeks so at least something came of it.

vjay sit in the garden...ironing can wait!

Morning ladies,
jools I had cramps in the early days I was told it was normal, but it didn't stop me from worrying and going through a loo roll a day!
It's a lovely sunny day up here, so what do I do, ironing or sit in the garden?????

anniecam38 · 18/04/2009 18:37

Hi ladies, just popping in quickly as going on rare night out with DH tonight.

jools-Hope you ok and taking deep breaths and trying not to panic. I would leave the tests witn conception indicators well alone, from what ive read on threads from MN they cause nothing but panic. The cramping pains are normal, i also had them really quite bad with my DS, ive had them bad this time too, and i must admit, i too run to the loo every chance i get, to check my pants, its all part of pregnancy post mc.

Im in mild panic mode too has have had a constant dull period type pain and lower back ache for 2 days now, i had this for few days before my mmc was diagnosed too. Im going to hold out on contacting EPU and having scan till just over a week when i,ll be 8 weeks, as id first planned, as theres nothing i can do anyway, just pray and wait and see.

Neeko · 18/04/2009 16:55

Hey Jools Thinking of you. Have nothing really to add to what the others have said except I think all sticks that you pee on are evil!
So glad Mermaid and Doozer are symptom spotting too. It's much more fun with others. Lol at feeling yourself in public!![Grin]
I'm going to drink very expensive virtual champagne at the hen night.
Judging by my addiction I'll be back tomorrow
Have a happy Saturday night everyone.

Joolsiam · 18/04/2009 16:54

Thanks everyone Mermaid - I've been off the diet for a week now - Easter Sunday was a planned day off and I never went back to it because the diet produces ketones which are apparently a big no-no during pregnancy. It was a bit wierd going back to normal eating and I am still struggling with the concept of normal portions and normal eating, hence a GP visit planned for Tues as I want to be referred to a dietician to help me sort out how much I should be eating.

I think the cramps and the mood swings are making me feel like my hormone levels are rising, which is a good thing, although the cramps are a bit scary. I keep visiting the loo to check for blood

Have tried some deep breathing exercises and they seem to have helped. We are off out soon to a party as some friends of ours are moving away. Hopefully that will take my mind off things

Behave yourselves tonight girlies - no lewd behaviour on this hen night please !! Will pop in with my J20 and some spare L plates later

mermaidspurse · 18/04/2009 16:45

yep so agree with mls jools you are on heightened frightened watch you poor thing. Also and I am clutching at other straws but have you stopped the cambridge diet now so that your stomach is yo yoing a bit with different foods?
you are describing a very hormonal early pregnant woman imho
We are here holding your hands honey.x

monkeybumsmum · 18/04/2009 16:41

Got to go out soon so just dashing in to wish Kate a fab evening! Hope you have a wonderful time

Also Jools easier said than done I know but try not to worry. As my counsellor said - 'breathe in, breathe out and just let it flow'... Thinking of you as I know only too well how you are feeling.

Love to all x

MummyLovesSadie · 18/04/2009 16:35

Jools remember I said I had really REALLY(!) bad cramps with my dd. They started the week before my af was due & ended somewhere in the first trimester. A friend of mine (who is now due three weeks after I would have been ) has had the same pains in both her pregnancies & ended up at the epu both times. You should google 'abdominal cramps in first trimester' & you will see just how common they are. I think it is a mixture of bean burrowing & ligaments stretching.

Joolsiam · 18/04/2009 16:28

Corr I have my very own stalker Mermaid

sorry girls, I know I'm being neurotic, but I can't help it Since posting, I've had really quite uncomfortable cramps - worse than normal period pain and my tum is bloated. However, I've had intermittent nausea whenever I don't eat every couple of hours and am a sobbing / mood swinging / angry hormonal mess

Not sure what is going on really

*Barbie - hope the hangover is better soon but I have NO sympathy
