barbie I think a lot of the time your body makes sure it is clear both ends when you go into labour. I was copiously sick and had to have a No.2 before everything happend.
Sounds like you hahve a good weeknd planned too, hope the aches and pains are better.

barbie1 · 04/12/2009 13:04

Rushing in quickly, just back from the dubai rugby 7's...left an already pissed dh there while i waddled back to get ready for a hen night....

mermaid you would love some of the rugby players that i have been ogling looking at today, yummy..tight shorts and nice bums

Back to rugby tomorrow as saturday is the big party day, although not as much fun when you cant drink i must say!

moon well done brave lady, im sure that you are now nearly past your edd you will be the next for a bfp...fingers crossed for you.

Pereniums and tricky poo's

mermaidspurse · 04/12/2009 12:48

moon such a big shiny star for you today. It is such a good sign to be able to buy baby stuff for someone and give hugs and shed tears. It is the hardest thing to do. I will think of you and your dh tomorrow.xx

jools It could be worse you could have a broken cam belt or a head gasket
Your planned weekend sounds absolutely what the dr ordered. And a big round of applause for dp too

cupcake hope that assignment gets done and have a good weekend.

mls ouch at your poor dd, I hope it isn't too uncomfortable and she gets better soon.

So I am going to the drs this afternoon and will flutter my eyelashes for some of this cyclogest stuff, very relieved to read that your dr prescribed it 4ever thank you for that.

iggy the point is we will know how glam our toes are girl! Usually I get rushed in wearing 2 odd socks and hairy legs which would rival that rugby player in the bed. So I am going for the femme fatale look this time

so this is a week to all pat ourselves on the back.
small panters and commandos - for bravery in general, coming back to threads hooray cos we missed you - facing sad anniverasries and for having a lot of fun - thats especially for jools the pre christmas party girl

medium I am not sure if I am one? am I? that is quite exciting... for still being brave even when scared and wobbly.

large panters - for being large - wow ladies we are impressed and for being extra brave in massaging pereniums (scuse spelling) ha I can just imagine barbies face
oh yes and for having tricky toilet procedures, thats for you blue

saggy pants - for sticking around and still being here we love you all loads but especially love our little cyber nephews and neices.

iggypiggy · 04/12/2009 10:16

moon that is so nice that you were able to buy her some baby stuff.. to my shame I still haven't sent a card or present to my friend who got pregnant on the first try on honeymoon and was due a week before me

Joolsiam · 04/12/2009 10:02

Will be thinking of you Moon - and well done for braving baby things

Well, DP and I managed to resume relations last night for the first time in around 3 months, so things are looking up Too late for this month, but promising ...

I like the concept of post EDD baby dust - my final EDD comes up this month - not sure exactly what day it is and don't want to look it up, but am pretty sure it is the same as Scorpio Maybe that means a January BFP for me

Right, must focus - gotta pack and get the car in for its MOT / Service / CAM belt change aka money pit.

cupcakefairy · 04/12/2009 09:43

Moon I'm so sorry too. That is lovely that you could have a hug and cry with your colleague though- am glad she hasn't been the insensitive pregnant type. Well done for getting through that, honestly.
Am hoping and praying the magic 'past the EDD' babydust that worked on 4ever and iggy will for you too.

Working on my assessment today but will be lurking if anyone wants a chat

CurlyBigPants · 03/12/2009 23:18

moon I'm so sad too for you EDDs are so hard to get through, and the build up to them is so hard, particularly when you are not pregnant. How lovely you are to buy baby stuff for your workmate even with everything you are going through. You are so strong even if you don't know it, and it will hopefully get easier after Saturday. I have a really funny feeling that it will happen for you soon and that we are going to have more bfps by xmas. I'll make sure I lurk on my phone on sat in case you need to talk. In the meantime have a massive hug and be very very good to yourself this weekend xxxx

Lots of love also to mls and everyone else

MummyLovesSadie · 03/12/2009 21:18

Oh Moon so to hear about your edd on Sat. This 9 months have gone so quickly, I clearly remember your bfp followed by your last mc like it was just a few weeks ago. Hopefully when both of your edd's are gone the pressure to be pregnant by a certain date will lessen too.

BlueMoon1981 · 03/12/2009 20:29

just checking up on you all

my 2nd edd is on saturday, so feeling very crap this week. the last pg lady at work went on maternity leave today, big speech from her boss, and there was me sitting there (2 desks away from her) biting my lip and suddenly not being able to see and not daring to blink. tried to brave my demons by buying her some baby stuff on the weekend for her, which she was hugely appreciative of as she is one of the few who knows about my mc's. i walked out to the car with her when she left and we had a hug and a cry together. thing don't get any easier do they....

sorry for me post, had to write it down.

cupcakefairy · 03/12/2009 19:41

Aww MLS how nasty hope she's ok poor little mite.

joolsthejetsetter have a lush weekend!

4ever yes you say it every week, but every week IS a milestone and we all know it

iggy and mermaid yay for symptoms galore

monkey that's hilarious about the edible glitter! Sparkly poo!

blue love that image of you as Vicar of Dibley next you'll have to start scoffing lots of Terry's chocolate orange. (I love Dawn French.)

Glad you all enjoyed LA last night...we loved it too and has def made me feel Christmassy. Welled up at lovely Liam Neeson though as he has since been widowed in RL poor man.

Right, gotta dash...home group tonight. Hugs and kisses to all! xxx

MummyLovesSadie · 03/12/2009 19:05

Blue rotfl at you delivering your tricky poo!

My dd has hand, foot & mouth.

Off to do loads of googling now of said virus.

Joolsiam · 03/12/2009 18:41

Just racing in to say hello and offer hands / toes and anything else ppl would like to hang on to for support

I'm off to Berlin tomorrow afternoon for a long girlie weekend perusing the Christmas markets and drinking copious amounts of mulled wine

Will probably lurk from time to time on my phone, but posting is difficult, so rest assured I'm thinking of you all

I get back Monday afternoon, unpack and repack to go to Gloucester on Tuesday morning for 3 days teaching - tis all go here and I have NO idea when I'm going to start finish my Christmas shopping

bluesatinsash · 03/12/2009 17:53

oh MLS - your poor DD. Least it will be out the way for Christmas!

Just a quickie from me as I'm knackered and have playgroup comittee tonight (I'm so Vicar of Dibley sometimes ). Was also on playgroup duty this morning which exhausted me (being enthusastic for 2 hours in front of 24 3-year olds really takes it out of you!)

Loved LA last night , 'God Only Know's was one of my wedding songs and I always well up when it comes on and everyone's hugging at the airport.

4ever - 14 weeks tomorrow lady!!!! Hand will be held on Monday and for every week you need us

Iggy - glad your sickness is back

Mermaid - glad you're knackered

Neeko - LOL at your Tena liners - ai its all sex, drugs and rock and roll

Vjay - enjoy your weekend 'home'. I'll try not to pop at the weekend but had a practice run earier when I 'delivered' a very tricky poo and had to use my breathing techniques . My constipation is something else just now!

Lovely to hear from you monkey - enjoy your champagne

barbie - only 11 weeks - WOW! and . So glad you're finishing up soon as you need to rest missy!

Love to everyone else, off downstairs to make dinner x

MummyLovesSadie · 03/12/2009 16:27

Hi all, just a quickie from me as dd is ill, covered with a spotty rash & I'm taking her to the docs later. I have a feeling it might be chickenpox.

Iggy yes well remembered about what my consultant said. Monkey my dh said to him that he thought I was obsessed as he sees me temping every day (little does he know about the obsessive cm checking, use of pre-seed, drinking of grapefruit juice & studying every minute detail of my charts !) but the consultant said "No your wife is not obsessed she just knows what she wants"! Cyclogest are progesterone pessaries, they help you not to bleed as they thicken the lining of the womb. I was taking them when I had mc number 3. I didn't bleed until about a week after coming off them (I came off them as I'd had a scan which confirmed the baby had died at 5 weeks)

Will try & post more later.

iggypiggy · 03/12/2009 16:21

panic over - think am gonna be sick

iggypiggy · 03/12/2009 15:54

hello lovelies - am feeling better today - am hoping is just cos symptoms kind of come and go... but guess can only wait...

mermaidmushroomfreak that sounds a good sign! I will do my toenails before scan on monday - although am wondering how they will see them?!

neeko I am grabbing your fourth finger and little finger - mermaid can have the rest

monkey I think MLS's doctor said something good to her DH about obsessing? Something like 'your wife isn't obsessed she just knows what she wants' - is that right mls? Sorry if not!

4ever that scan sounds like big milestone - they all are really aren't they? Are you having weekly scans all the way through?

barbie sorry you uncomfortable - hope gets better soon.

VJay · 03/12/2009 15:46

Afternoon all, did we all enjoy Love Actually, well those that watched it anyway. Think I'll get another viewing in cos DH still wants to watch it

Right I won't be back on til Monday as we are away back home to deliver presents and see the vicar about Ajays christening. Blue don't pop til I get back .

Have fab weekends everyone

monkeybumsmum · 03/12/2009 15:08

Oooh Bruges is lovely 4ever You're bound to be nervous for Monday, but everything's been okay so far which is really good. I think I'd be just the same as you if we ever get that far again... I think we spend so long thinking it'll never happen that it's almost impossible to believe when it does.
Can I ask what cyclogest is?

Barbie 29 weeks That's amazing!

Mermaid hope you're having a cozy snooze and enjoying the rest x

Had a bit of a melt down last night after dh accused me of becoming obsessed I did point out that it's been 22 months now since we started trying for number 2, and how can I not be thinking about it all the time? Didn't really help... Bless him though, he was sad that he'd upset me so we're going to open some champagne tonight to toast the life we do have, and I'm going to try to chill out a bit. Difficult though...

Hope the weather in the UK is better than it is here, blurgh...

barbie1 · 03/12/2009 14:38

4ever im 29 weeks today!!!!

4everhopeful · 03/12/2009 13:07

Thankfully i slept thru from 11to10 this mornin (+ several trips to loo) but do feel vaguely recharged, albeit v weeble like My sis is down from worcester staying at mums, not seen her for a few months so will be takin scan dvd round later

mermaidspurse · 03/12/2009 12:34

Hi barbie thank you for all those grins glad you took the day off, remember guilt is man made and nothing to do with us women!
Hope your aches ease.

I feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired and sooooooooooooooooooo dizzy and lots of pains shoting around. So I am clinging to them as symptoms. and mushrooms I just have to keep eating mushrooms.

4ever hope you are ok today another week nearly crossed off. Is it a scan day for you on Monday? Hope you have nicely painted toes now too. Thanks for the info on cyclogest. Mt golfer hasn't called back so I will have to go to the gps tomorrow and see if I can sort something out.

I have to go and find the sofa for a bit.x

barbie1 · 03/12/2009 10:08

I'm considering myself well and truly told off by neeko Sorry small panters...didnt mean to piss you all off thinking you might need to wait until march for the next bfp...prove me wrong and get one sooner!!!!
mysticbarbie was mearly thinking out loud and believed that this thread is so lucky that we are bound to have another bfp in march!

I hope you all enjoyed love actually, dh tried to download it last night for me as our original copy is still in storage in newcastle however all the download sites have been shut down so im going to have to go any buy a copy to watch it again.....

Last night i felt really guilty about calling in sick so decided against it, however i had a rubbish night sleep and woke with a headache and backache so i really do have an excuse not to go today, instead i took the dog for a walk and promptly feel asleep when i can back. The midwife tells me that between 28 and 32 weeks the baby has a huge growth spurt which can upset the hormone balance again so its normal to feel crap at this stage....

im glad monkey is back

mermaid how are you doing today? even dh was smiling when i told him about you, he even said is that the cornish one who gave her things away a few weeks ago i guess i talk about you all too much!

mls i feel left out with all the christmas talk too we are going to go and buy a huge inflatable snowman for the garden this afternoon, and will put the tree up next week, still not the same though....

iggy loving the fact you are feeling sick glad you took your head out of the sand to post...

blue yeah for making it to december! Its the month both you and mm will get too meet your precious lo..11 more weeks for me, how can my tummy possible stretch any more

Im really struggling to get comfortable so im going to leave it here for now, sorry to those i have missed..you are not forgotten i promise you!

Ill be back soon xxx

4everhopeful · 02/12/2009 22:12

Ah just drying my eyes! what a lovely film, got very emotional & hormonal at the end! Brill! Big waves to everyone, will catch up properly 2moro, im gonna snuggle up to dh now & try & sleep thru the night! X x x x x

MummyLovesSadie · 02/12/2009 21:36
