Emmsy's in weeble land....Where weeble's wobble but don't fall down!

Sending love to 4ever Vjay Sabs lion also.

Hope you all having nice weekend. I was on a dental course all day yesterday then out on a hen night last night in fancy dress, i was Snow White-lol! We went to a comedy club in Newcastle and had a great time, eveyone went off clubbing and i came home, it was way past my bedtime!
Im about to have a nice soak in the bath, well would be nice by myself but have a feeling DS will want to come in with me, off to see the Ladyboys tonight, they are great, seen them 3 times now.

Barbie-You do make me laugh! Glad you feeling baby move all the time now, its a lovely feeling.

Neeko-Hope you enjoyed your chinese, i love chinese but for some reason i cant eat it when im pregnant, makes me feel really sick, was the same when i was pregnant with DS.

Cupcake-Might be worth paying for private scan at 9 weeks if you cant/dont want to wait until your 12 week scan. I was in the same boat as you, they wouldnt give me a reassurance scan so i paid £100 for a private scan at 9 weeks.

MrsKate-Thinking of you yesterday on the EDD of your lost angel.

Big waves to blueGraciemermaidmoonLB&BakingQueen* and anyone else ive inadvertently missed.

Hello ladies...at work so thought id do a sneaky little post

Just back from doctors for 20 week check, everything ok and even met the midwife today, who is only slightly older than me, english and lovely.....

I have put of 4 kg since last visit but still under what i could of put on so its ok... although my work shirt do unbutton right to my belly button as i was walking around unaware in waitrose thankfully i had a vest on all be in very very low due to not covering my massive
(.)(.) boobies!!!!

Dh still away for another 2 weeks and i must admit the early dog walks are starting to tire me out now....

On the plus side im feeling the baby move every day, especially as im lying peacefully in the bath...happy days

I will get around to personal messages again come tues

Sending you all a big hug and hope you are all ok xxxx

Ah Neeko enjoy a well-deserved chinese! We had one last night and it was lush; I ate about 3 times more than dh

Hi. Really just lurking but wanted to send MrsKate a hug for today.

I'm having a very relaxing weekend as the doctor 4ever ordered. Hope you're all ok too.

MLS had a scan the other day and apparently saw 4 follicles about to pop so fingers crossed she'll be back in medium pants soon. The consultant also said there's no reason why she can't try again immediately BTW I have her permission to keep you all updated. She's not lurking ATM but plans to be back some time in the future and I'm giving her news bulletins from here too. That should keep me busy

DH comming back in 5 with a Chinese takeaway and a DVD. Hoping for a foot massage too. Catch up later. Hugs and baby dust to all who need them x

hi all ive had a great day gracie is the bestest friend anyone could ever have we went maternity clothes shopping and i did mark the occasion by buying a baby blanket for boris the bean lol . felt so werid but lovely at the same time

Hello
I've just been lurking, making sure you are all ok

sabs such a beautiful name

Back to lurking

Thinking of you Kate on your edd...also meant to say yesterday so lovely your dh has the scan pic on his fb, cos I remember you saying he wouldn't get excited about anything til 12 weeks.

Aww blue seeing you refer to babyCurly as her dd just made me a bit emotional, how lovely

Midwife was v nice but once again a firm no to an early scan she's booked me in for the 12wk scan on 30th and dh thinks I should just leave it as 'that's not too long to wait' might just call my epu myself and see what they say

Dh and I are off to see Toy Story redone in 3d at the cinema today, hehe, we're such kids!

I'm just up . DH and DS let me lie in and are at footie class just now - bliss!

I can just picture Sabs staring at Saara (beautiful name) and curling and uncurling her tiny fingers, precious moments to be savoured forever .

4ever - so lovely to read your post and how well you are being taken care of. I'm off to church tomorrow so will send a big thank you prayer upstairs and ask him/her to look over you and your lo . I firmly believe being seen/sanned regularly can have a positive effect as you feel 'looked after' which calms you down and sends the right hormones swirling around.

cupcake - hope your midwife gives you a big hand squeeze. Had to at your DH's comment about it not being a visit from the social worker . Us Mum's to be are very house proud!

Curly - had lump in my throat reading about you feeling your DD kick and finally starting to believe you will hold her inyour arms one day soon - just lovely.

mermaid - yes lazing about eating bacon rolls and watching kids TV goes down in this house too at the weekend .

Hey Annie - you next!!! Not long 'til your on mat leave - yay!

Kate - hope today goes OK, remember and stroke your tummy and remember how far you've come x

to everyone else xx

morning everyone so ace to hear that sabs and saara are counting fingers toes and smiles and wishing you a very speedy recovery brave lady thank goodness there is lots of help waiting at home xxx

great news on results kate cupcake hope midwife visit goes ok

4ever fab that you are so looked after

A little short have a headache after a 50th party last night - I think hoping is fine, just trying to embrace rl and busy.

Have a lovely weekend one of the better perks of motherhood I find

Another text from Sabs

"She's so beautiful and I can't stop staring at her x "

Call be hormonal but that had me blubbing!

hello cupcake hope you get a nice midwife it makes all the difference I can totally understand why you would want to wait till after 8 weeks, I think we all have our critical times that we need to get past before we can start breathing (a little) again.

Hope hoping is just busy and is doing okay. Give her my love if you see her xxx

I've been playing "This is the first day of my life" by Bright Eyes and the little one suddenly started kicking like mad. It has me blubbing like a mad thing I'm still so scared it will all go wrong but moments like this help to make up for all those horrible months of grieving and waiting and feeling like it would never happen. I can't wait till every single one of us is pregnant and turns into this same hormonal mess that I seem to be today. I really hope that doesn't upset anyone still waiting - I haven't forgotten how hard it is - but it's just sometimes I can't believe that I am actually pregnant

Big hugs to anyone who needs one and lots of baby dust all round xxx

Evening lovely girls my, lots of catching up to do!

Thanks for the reassurance about my pains everyone. Midwife is coming round tomorrow (been frantically cleaning and hoovering to dh's confusion- he keeps saying 'she isn't a social worker y'know' - men!) so will ask her about it, and ask for a scan. I wouldn't want to get one til after 8 weeks anyway as that was when we found out before and the waiting between 6, 7 & 8 weeks scans was horrendous.

Sabs massive congratulations, can't wait to see pics of lovely little Saara, beautiful name sounds like you've had a rough time of it but sure you are being well taken care of by your family.

4ever thanks for thinking of me hun but I am all the way over in sheep-land Wales with no walk-in clinics and lovely sonographers! Your story was lovely, so glad everyone is being so reassuring.

Barbie lush scan pics! And yay to believing you ARE having a baby

hi annie glad you are still around.

Neeko thanks for the update on MLS she is so flipping amazing, her strength always astounds me. Tell her we are thinking of her loads.

baking lovely news about your friend, another hope-giving story, and fingers massively crossed for you this month!

I emailed hoping about a week ago to check she was ok and invited her for a coffee or movie (we literally live about 5 mins from each other!) but haven't had a response worried about her. Gonna email her again so she knows we haven't forgotten her.

Waves to annie

I like the sound of the dress gracie. I've just ordered some stuff from I cannot remember where (pregnancy brain ) but I got a 15% MN discount!!!

Hello!

Curly beat me on Sabs text but I'll write it in anyway!

"Could you post an update on MN. Moved from delivery suite to post natal ward last night. Had to have a blood transfusion last night due to loss of 3 litres of blood when having C-section. Post natal ward is crap. Have paid 70 quid for a side room. Hoping to be discharged tomorrow. Have named her Saara after my Nan. She looks like me and my niece and nothing like DH! Unable to breast feed yet which I'm quite upset about but hoping to try again once I recover my strength. Missing you all and hope everyone one Mumsnet is well! x "

What a lovely name!

I bought a Red Herring maternity dress on Ebay for £7 yesterday, hoping to wear it for a wedding when I'm 30 weeks. Its just arrived and its actually really nice, I'm impressed! Its a bit big yet but you never know it might do the trick by 30 weeks!

Sending much love to Sabs, hope she is recovering well

Curly-So pleased on news that you having a girl, how lovely.

Update by text from the lovely sabs. She moved to a postnatal ward finally and had to have a blood transfusion last night due to loss of blood. She has named her little one Saara and apparently she looks like her rather than DH Hopefully she'll be discharged tomorrow but is just trying to get her strength back for now. A bit anxious as she hasn't been able to start breast-feeding yet but she's going to try again when she recovers a bit Gosh, what a start for the poor love, though Saara sounds just gorgeous

We're thinking of you honey. Can't wait to see the photos of wee Saara xxx

Lovely to see you back annie 32 weeks is wonderful, not long to go. Make sure you are getting lots of rest and don't worry about MN, more important that everything is ready for that lovely little one who will be here very soon

kate I'm only kidding, stay in those little pants for a wee while till your bursting out of them I'll be thinking about you tomorrow on your edd. I know it's weird to feel so blessed and sad at the same time. We conceived this little one on my last edd and I somehow feel that it was meant to be. Rub your belly lots and tell your new lo how she (yes I reckons yours is a girl ) is loved all the more because of your loss xxx Fantastic news on the nuchal scan missus and lovely to hear about proud dh. Things have come a long way since three months ago for you both

baking great news for your friend, and it's nice she was sensitive about it. It will be your turn soon

barbie i'm really pleased your placenta has moved. Hopefully mine will move by 34 weeks though my fango is secretly liking the idea of a c-section Hope you and your mum have a fab weekend together

Yay for all the symptoms 4ever. I welled up a bit when I read about your dream. I had a similar one a few months ago and I took it as a sign that this time even my subconscious felt that it was going to be different We haven't bought anything for the baby yet but I might when I'm in the states cos I love shopping. I spoke to the consultant today and he's fine with me flying so long as I find out where the local a&e is when I get there and take it easy. And no shagging for me for the next three months at least To be honest we are so overcautious after the MCs that we've not done it since we conceived the little one Make sure you rest well today and keep those feet up honey xxxx

Big waves to anyone lurking today and happy friday

Hello lovelies, i havent deserted you, have been lurking occasionally over last couple of weeks but no time to post properly, so massive apologies. Im so tired when i get in from work now, its shower, jamas on, tea then bed, im not sleeping well during the night, so i figure the earlier i get to bed the better. I just feel we are running out of time to get things sorted for this little one, honestly dont know where the time has gone, im 32 weeks on Tuesday.

Even though havent posted, have been thinking of you all, so congratulations on good scan results, glad everything good with you 4ever my lovely.
So happy to hear about sabs news, a girl!

Hope our lovely commando and small pants wearers are well, sending hugs where needed.
Much love to our medium and large pants wearers.

Great news about the nuchal scan Kate! Thats my next fear cos had bad one once.. Sorry to make you cry! Really pleased to hear DH is feelin proud & positive! Hope you have found a way to make tomorrow special for you, i'll be thinking of you xxx

I thought the pic looked 3/4D Barbie - must of been so magical! How long til DH back now? My mums gone to stay with my sis in worcs for 2wks & feel anxious about that even so kno it must be wierd for you - did you let mum buy some more baby stuff yesterday?! Am not worrying about that weeny spotting & do think its from over zealous checking wiping! xx

Lovely Neeko bless you crying at my post Glad to hear MLS took heed from my mail to her, I think of her often.. Yea that you can still get MN at work! Hope you have a chilled weekend planned?! xx

Lovely long post Curly! Knitting huh? What you making? Is it baby related? Big head? make sure you do the perineal massage then! Iv learnt my lesson in googling & honestly feel Iv googled all I possibly can anyway! MN only for me & lots of crap telly & catching up with sky+! By the time I get up & eat & bath DH gets in just after 4pm so does go quite quickly.. BTW any more thoughts on flying? As I said go with your gut instinct, am interested in what you actually do? Dont share if you feel TMRLI?!? xx

Lovely Jools been thinking of you lots, I was also nosily wondering what you do? You work so hard, whats the solo session you talked of? Im intrigued, but again if TMRLI then dont worry! Have you had that chat with DH yet? Its good to air it all out & I hope things work out, Im sure it will hon xxx

LBM you made me laugh posting in meeting! Thats the way to do it! Great to see you pantless & carefree! xx

Bluemoon Lovely to see you back, hope you enjoyed your trip! love your name for Curlys lo! xx

Bakingqueen good news about your friend & your healthy reaction to it! Im excited for you this month for some reason!!

Im extra tired today, having very wierd vivid dreams (Yea to symptoms! ) Also as did food shop yest with DH nausea kicked in big style (double yea to more symptoms! ). Im staying positive & have weekly preg calender that I used to sneakily peek at but when DH gets home at 1pm today will put in our recently decorated 'back room' We did room in easter, all neutral & adaptable for whatever, wouldnt get anything til week 39 tho I dont think! I did dream a few nights ago I had baby (& it spoke to me at a few days old ) but didnt have anything for it so rushed out buying steralisers & carseat!! Am debating telling 'bf's Feel quite let down by lack of sensitivity as mentioned, but on other hand dont want to hold onto bitterness or negativity for baby sake as truly believe I must be as calm, positive & cheery as poss for good outcome - dilemma?! xxx

hi all again

just got my letter from nuchal scan and was low risk im so releived . dh has put the scan pic as his profile pic on fb too hes a proud daddy to be now xxxxx

I cant begin to tell you all how much i have missed you over the last week or so...it feels like ive been in solidary confindment Ive been spending as much time with mum as possible and will be back posting as normal on tues

Thankyou for all your support yesterday and comments on the pics, i wish i could turn them up the right way
We couldnt find the scan place and i was getting all panicky that i would miss my appt, in the end we ditched the car, which i scraped the front of in my haste to park (thankfully it was dh and not mine ) and ended up running across healthcare city which is huge..only to find we had in fact driven past the building loads of times....doh

It was so weird, the room had a huge flat screen tv in which you could watch everything, of course i had my eyes closed for the first few minutes and my breathe held until i nearly passed out!

4ever the scan was across between a normal scan, a doppler scan and 3/ 4d...depending on where he was looking. 4D is sooooo strange, he could even see inside the brain! i have been given a dvd of the scan and you can see everything in detail. Shame i cant upload it.
Im so happy that you have someone looking out for you, you seem to be in safe hands. Im sure the bleed you had is nothing, remember i had loads in the first few weeks....i also cut myself when shaving down there few weeks ago and didnt realise until i saw the blood in my knickers! Im sure its just from over checking down there if you know what i mean. I have everything crossed for you that everything works out well

curly my placenta has moved now....but i asked my doctor about you! she said that she wouldnt advise any flying unless you really have too, the reason being if anything happened you would worry the whole flight and there isnt always someone on board to help you. Nothing to do with your placenta! Do what you feel you must but step away from google!

kate oh my 13 weeks already fab news.....i hope you get some relief from thinking about this lo today..you have everything to look forward too now.

Im going to finish this post later as my mum wants my attention!

Love you lots xxx

Prepare yourselves for a mammoth post... two hours later here I am

cupcake hope the pains have gone, try not to worry I think it's pretty normal (says the girl who panics at every twinge ). It's wonderful that you are seven weeks and 1 day today - get that scan girl!!!

Hope all our medium pants ladies are doing well. I'm so happy that the treatment went well 4ever and that you are getting signed off for a few weeks, and that the NHS are looking after you so well. This time it is going to work out, keep believing it and looking after that little one. I did find time at home crawled though so make sure you distract yourself with some non-googling activity (naughty curly has learned her lesson about googling )

iggy glad you are feeling better, I'm often the same around ovulation, which is not exactly great for getting you on form to perform I've a really strong feeling that we'll be getting good news from you soon honey I hope it is before your edd, but I'm sure it will be soon

moon It's nice to see so many smiley faces in your last post. The lovely 4ever is right, by xmas you will be up the duff. Don't lose hope honey I love your name for my little one thank you for letting me borrow it xxx

MLS I've been thinking about you. Brave lady, I hope we have you back with us soon xxx

Mermaid I love your suggestions for names for the lioncub I bet your a lovely auntie and you smell just fine to me

LBM lol at you entertaining yourself in dull meetings how are you doing honey? Are those curtains done yet?? thanks for the advice. Sometimes i need to just CALM DOWN about stuff

Has anyone heard from hoping recently. I've taken up knitting (not of the complicated pattern variety though) and think of her every time I do it

bakingqueen I've forgotten how long your cycle is? Are you on the 2ww? Hope that zen like calmness has returned

Jools hope the conversation with DP goes well and operation getjoolsuptheduff progresses well next month. In the meantime stop working so hard missus xxx

gracie I'm impressed that you still have no bump! Mine has just suddenly jumped out this week. Up to 20 weeks I just looked like I ate too many pies, now I am definitely pregnant

MrsKate and Neeko let's be getting you into those big pants soon. I got some spare stretchy ones if you like Sleep tight Neeko and thanks for the texts

Blue hope you have recovered from yesterday

barbie I loved the scan picture. Do you know if baby barbie is a girl?

How are you doing vjay and lion? Are you getting any sleep at all??

if anyone is in touch with sabs through facebook please send my love. I guess she will be in hospital for a few more days maybe. So so pleased to hear her news

Has anyone noticed that we seem to be producing big babies from this thread??? My scan yesterday had measurements against average and my little monster seems to have a big old head going on... eek

Big waves to mm (due soon yes?!!), fifi, Annie, Buddha and gingermumi and anyone I've missed
