Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

ps what is health in pregnancy grant? I didn't get that with DD3 (born end of 2008)...

Hi Charlotte! Glad to have more slightly insane people around!

So sorry to hear of MC's for you and Loopsymummy. I had one in 2007 .

But I think it would be a shame not to try again until the EDD is passed. You would still remember the EDD whether you were pregnant again or not..

Completely agree that feels greedy to be on the tccing boards - I felt that way when ttcing DD3 with twins already!

I think if we did have another child, sadly I too would chicken out and explain it as a bit of a suprise..

So any symptom spotting today?

I had big waves of nausea on school run and my boobs are sore. However, have learnt that some months when I know am definitely not pregnant that I can have nausea/sore boobs etc as part of normal PMT - so trying not to get at all excited!

Thank you for the welcome! I am trying not to symptom spot but it's hard to break the habit! ...

What ages are your first three kids? Am I mad to be considering 4 under 6??

Can I join please? I have twins who turn 5 in a few weeks and a 19th month old. Can't get a fourth child out of my head.

Monday night after a "romantic evening" we decided against me taking my mini-pill. I think that was about day 14...am now analysing every twinge. Got pregnant first try with the twins, our youngest girl took about 8 months but I had an undiagnosed underactive thyroid which has now been sorted out with medication.

Part of me so desperately wants another child. Part of me thinks I am totally loopy to even consider it - I don't like being pregnant and I hate being woken up in the night!

So reassured to see others at the same stage of children who are considering more!

Hi guys!

I'm still around when I get the chance. I'm absolutely loving Ava, she's such a placid, contented little thing now we have the milk/pooing thing sorted. She's 8 weeks today and full of smiles, she sits in her bouncy chair grinning away and 'talking' to me and her toys. The only bugbear is her inability to fall asleep on her own or stay asleep if not being held but I'm sure we'll sort that out eventually.

I'm not one for letting them cry (especially at this age) and if I put her down to sleep awake she just screams her head off whereas she drops off so easily when I cuddle her.

She occasionally falls asleep in her bouncy chair by herself so I think she is learning. She still sleeps in bed with us and she is so bloomin aware even in her sleep if I leave her she will be awake 5 minutes later.

I've never had one like this so any advice would be appreciated

Means, nearly on the home stretch now! So exciting!!!
