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

loopys - you don't need us to talk you back into it.... you know you want to have the fun of night feeds and nappies again

kat - you can't possibly mmove house with such and impractical husband, I would be too stressed to think about it. Looking fat after christmas is totally ok, and you will be sprouting that bump just after the house move.... not long now.

I am 5weeks 3 days, still in the danger zone, but feeling ok at the moment.

Just rescuing us from relegation to page 2

Meanbeans... hang on in there, the 2ww is hell but it'll all be worth it!

Scorps - Lacey is just scrummy, I want mine NOW when I look at your pictures. Your H is a twat and not worth your tears. He's the one losing out ultimitely.

I'm ok, 23 weeks but fed up because I just look FAT. I long for a nice neat bump but I'm so tall and hourglass shaped so the baby kind of settles into my big hips but my waist fills out so I look like I've eaten too many pies. I'm mainly just wearing size 16 trakky bottoms and longer tops, the maternity stuff is too big!

I do get a bump eventually and I know I'll sprout in the next few weeks!

Baby kicking like mad and seems to be lying breeh and trampolining on my bladder which is interesting.

Move in 11 days, my house looks like a bomb has hit it and DH keeps putting things in boxes and sealing them when we still need to use them grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr he's so impractical!!!

Love to everyone xxxxx

babyblue4 · 11/01/2010 04:50

Scorps - Remember... if you need to talk, Msg me on FB. How is the bonding with Lacey coming? She is such a cutie, I'm sure it wasn't too hard!! LOL. As Means said, dont let him bugger this time up. She is only a baby for a short time, so enjoy it! He is not worth it.

Means - better get those cheapies ready

Meanbeansmum · 10/01/2010 16:45

Scorps, massive hugs. It will all be ok, this will make you stronger but I wish you weren't having to go through this right now. Just enjoy your beautiful new baby, don't let him ruin that.xxxx

2ww is a nightmare! I am not very patient! Each month is sooo long!

Scorps · 09/01/2010 10:50

I'm still at my parents house have uterine infection and anaemia bit poorly

others are at mine with h. I will go home soon and he will leave then. Twat. I'm hving very bad times and some ok times in the same day.

Meanbeansmum · 09/01/2010 10:44

Yay a POAS addict lol!!!

3dpo and I swear the urge to POAS is building.....how am I going to wait another 6 days!!! Arrrghhhhh!

QueenFee · 07/01/2010 07:45

well I always have to test at least 3 times before I (or Dh!) believe it. Besides as Af is MIA no other way of knowing this time.

babyblue4 · 07/01/2010 03:41

QueenFee - Haha... are you a POAS addict too?? We were going to start a support group here a while back since we had quite a few addicts present When I was TTC with Marco, I bought the ebay cheapies and went nuts. Was lucky and got preggers on the first try, so didnt get to use too many (they got passed on to friends since my shop has closed!).

Rainbow - how are things going???

QueenFee · 05/01/2010 21:16

thanks for a lovely welcome
kat I also hate the getting your life back comments. I love my life since I had kids!

As Alfie is still BF then I have no idea whether or not I am ovulating so it's a bit of a stab in the dark here (no pun intended ) I am not expecting it to happen any time soon.

I did however buy pregnancy tests today well I saw them for 3 for a £1 how could I resist!

Meanbeansmum · 05/01/2010 19:18

BB, I am lol, poor dh...lol.

Not that much snow really but the UK grinds to a halt with 1" and everything freezes, the gritters don't come out, cars slide down roads and all hell brakes loose! It's total madness. I hate driving in this weather, it scares me silly.

Scorps, how is Lacey settling in?

Kat, how is baby bump? Are you feeling well at the moment?

babyblue4 · 05/01/2010 16:05

Sounds like your side of the world is getting more snow than us this year! Cant say I am sorry, or even that I feel for ya!! LOL better you than me!!!!! We are just getting the bitter cold here, with a few flakes falling throughout the day. Not even enough for the ploughs, just the sand trucks.

Spent yesterday doing absolutely NOTHING!! Babies were co-operative, so it was a rare, relaxing sort of day. Am trying to finish reading a novel I borrowed from the library. Its due today and I am only half way through! LOL... looks like I will be paying out the late fees.

Means - shag away baby!!!

Meanbeansmum · 05/01/2010 10:44

Hi Queen fee, welcome aboard! I'm a mum of 3 aged 7,4 and 23 months (tomorrow lol). 2 boys and a girl We are ttc number 4, darn hard though, had some loses last few months but giving it some welly this month. ;)

All is well here EWCM galore....I'm a very busy girl lol!!! Prob won't ov for another day or so though....still nice to get the practice in. ;)

Snowing here, just had a call to get the boys from school!!! I haven't done my weekly shop yet.....sainsburys are meant to be delivering here at 12...will they make it or will I have starving kids and get snowed in lol!

katnkittens · 04/01/2010 23:30

Welcome Queen. Nice to see another loon in here I'm 22 weeks pregnant with number 4 (dd3).

I haven't actually had too many negative comments... not sure if it's because I have the age gaps so it doesn't seem like I'm popping babies out every year (no offence lol). I know many people don't understand why I would want another one when I have a son and 2 daughters all healthy and at school so I 'have my life back'. I hate that phrase is sounds like you can't have a life with DCs..

Anyway, I'm fine. Been sopping today with dd1, was nice although she's a good spender that one, I must have taught her well!!

Hope everyone is ok and new bumps are snuggling in nicely!

Scorps - hope things are getting better for you xx

babyblue4 · 04/01/2010 23:01

Welcome QueenFee

Our thread is a little quiet at the moment, but as I mentioned, we are a mixed bunch and very supportive

How is everyone else???

Scorps - Lacey is just gorgeous! How is she? How are the other DCs adapting to their newest family member??

Kat - how are you feeling??

Rainbow - scan yet??? Still wishing you lots of sticky baby vibes.

QueenFee · 04/01/2010 21:44

hello
I may be a little late jumping on this thread but it would be nice to chat to someone who understands why i'm TTC no4 instead of raised eyebrows.
(Mumsnet friends not included in that comment - hi baby thanks for inviting me in here!)
My 3 are 5 , 3 and 6 months.

babyblue4 · 03/01/2010 23:27

KAT - oh! I know exactly what you are going through. My sister went through the exact same thing few years back. She cant take birth control pills because it makes the cells grow faster. She just went for a pap last week to see where everything stands. Her and her new 'squeeze' want to have a baby together, so they are planning to get her IUD removed next year. She just wants to make sure that the cells are normal so that any necessary treatments can be done before they start trying. In her case, its a form of HPV she has (courtesy of her ex-husband).

katnkittens · 03/01/2010 22:41

Oh the colposcopy thing... it's to take a biopsy of the cells in your cervix. The Dr didn't do it in the end, he just had a look and said the bad cells were still there but no worse and I am booked in for the lletz (loop burning cells thingy) in August after the baby arrives.

katnkittens · 03/01/2010 22:39

Ooooh So excited for you scorps... LOADS of PMA for you and sticky vibes.

Hope everything is ok with you and the beautiful Lacey Scorps... it will get easier and she is worth it!

Nearly 22 weeks here, feeling loads of kicks, I never get tired of it, it's amazing. Lily (6) felt her kick tonight and she went running over to DH shouting that she'd felt Ava kick. Jess (11) kisses my stomach every night and says night night Ava.

Aren't my girls lovely! DS (13) grunts and says I'm getting fatter. But still gives me a sneaky hug when he thinks nobody is looking!

V excited for the 22nd and the bog move although also v scared by the sheer amount of crap we have managed to accumulate in a 3 bed semi!

babyblue4 · 03/01/2010 17:11

Happy New Year to all you lovely ladies!!! May 2010 bring us everything we desire!!

CONGRATULATIONS Rainbow!!! Lots of sticky baby vibes your way!!!

Scorps - your DD is a beauty! I LOVE the name Lacey! How are you doing? Why did you need the hospital visit?? Hope everything is ok.

How is everyone else???

Meanbeansmum · 02/01/2010 20:56

Rainbow, whispering a massive congratulations to you. Sending you some sticky glue.xxx

Scorps, what did you name your gorgeous bundle? Is she Lacey? She is beautiful!

I'm soooo broody lol!

rainbowdays · 02/01/2010 17:53
