Mermaid-Thank you for thinking of me today hun, you are so lovely.

Big waves to everyone else.

Well i thought i would be coming on here with a birth announcment in the next couple of days. Last night i went to the toilet, after id pulled up pants, felt a small gush and pants were wet. Sorry for TMI, but smelled it to see if was wee, and it smelled slightly sweet and was definately waters. I put on a pad, and waited. I was leaking but only when i moved, all last night, and during night. I was sat on my birth ball bouncing away chatting on FB to a couple of my friends, one of which was our lovely sabs-who kindly kept me company for ages, which was so lovely of her. I was getting mild contractions and backache, but contractions were all over the place. I went to bed about 12, and everything stopped! Still ended up having disturbed night though, as apart from lying there expecting big contractions any minute, DS had a sickness bug during night, so was up seeing to him, he was sick loads bless him, only once on himself and bedding, and rest of time he made it to toilet, good going for a just 4 year old i think!
Hes a bit peaky today so off nursery, my friend will look after him when i go to crematorium to lay flowers, then have my consultant appointment, will take hospital bags with me, just incase they keep me in!

Catch up later!

i was at my family for tea unable to get to computor im sorry xxxxxx

Oh x-post, so I didn't spoil the news, cool

Lol Neeko- don't worry my social life isn't exactly 'happening'- I went to see the film on my own

I had a text from Kate earlier saying baby is fine and she's having a boy didn't want to spoil her news earlier but no I've seen you're worrying wanted to put your minds at rest!

sorry girls

i didnt mean to worry you .scan was great amazing lo didnt wanna be seen at first then ta da a little winkie she said i couldnt see it . im having a boy dh is sooooo happy

Moon This threads just as much for downs as it is ups. really sorry about the BFN Could work being bad be stressing you enough to delay AF? Sending you a huge hug.

BQ Thinking of you tomorrow. Hope you get some ideas/answers and feel a bit more in control. Take care.

Annie Thinking of you too.

Buddha Poor you you're really suffering. Hope it all ends soon and your LO takes the pain away.

Iggy Glad you feel better now those decisions are made.

Vjay Nice to hear your little soldier is fighting fit

Cupcake are you never in?? Quite right too.

Kate we're worrying. Please let us know that baby's ok.

Barbie Sleep well.

Had a MW appt today. All well. After discussing with her I'm convinced that my decision to have the swine flu jab at 24 weeks is the right one for me and my circumstances. 2 weeks to go Wriggler Made some visible movements last night so that's reassuring.

i tested this morning, still bfn and still no af. i am so cross with my stupid body, can't even do this right, what's going on? i'm so and of everything and everyone

my boss had a chat to me to see if i was ok, she clearly knew i wasnt but it was kinda nice to be asked, even if it was a mega struggle to hold back the tears. i said i didnt want to talk about it and she left it at that. work is crap at the minute too. i hate being me sometimes.

know im not making much sense, sorry, and also sorry to be the one who brings the thread down.

bakingqueen write it all down even if its all confused. It may help clarify some of it for you as well.
Most importantly if you go blank with fear/nervousness/panic you have a sweaty bit of paper with you.
Its a horrible place to be lovely lady and I will be thinking of you tomorrow. You can have some more clomid though can't you? I know what you mean about IVF it sounds so very final and the stats look scary.
what about that mega amazing chinese woman? Some consultants are working with her now and she gets ace results, I did put her web site up a thread ago or so. Thinking of you masses.

kate did it go ok?

annie thinking of you tomorrow for your mum

4ever way up there on cloud 9 with big grin helllllooooooo

gotta go x

Quickest every message as it's bedtime story time!

4ever I'm so pleased for you - even better Downs odds than me! Being an emotional pregnant person, I even welled up for you. Which if anyone knew me in reallife would know is as far from normal me as you can get!
Fab, fab news...

Love to all - back later, Biff and chip call

Congratulations 4ever so pleased things are going well

Glad 4d scan went well Barbie

Appointment tomorrow afternoon getting rteally nervous think I want consultant to give me an extra few months clomid but mind changes every few minutes know I have managed to get pregnant on my own before but not ready to give up on help yet but don't want to go to ivf as would be too upsetting to fail. See what I mean my head and my heart need to descide all this by tomorrow! Thanks for all your messages sorry not making individual posts but hopefully after my appointment my zen like calm will return love to you all xxxx

too tired......... to write

Congrats 4ever....crystal ball was right again

Just had 4d scan, will upload tomorrow and type more then.....just too tired!

Back tomorrow, thinking about you all

love b x

Thanks MLS Hope you had a good break x

annie that sounds like serious nesting!

buddha i like writing lists when I am bored - that or reading!

neeko you right - couldn't help but blame self if somethign goes wrong and I haven't made cahnges..

vjay glad you little ones are better!

cupcake I will try to chill - is not easy tho is it!

waves to all xxx

Afternoon girlies..

Firstly 4ever, I know I've sent you about a million gushy texts already but just for the record- SOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU AND DH!! I'm actually happier about your 12wk scan than my own! You deserve it so so much xxx

Moon we are all waiting with baited breath here...

Iggy I know everyone's said it...but honestly, each pregnancy is so different. I have felt really really different this time round- not as much nausea in the early weeks then loads between 8-12 wks and extreme hunger/thirst which I didn't have the last time. Please relax and just remember your body will do what it needs to.

Vjay Don't think I'm quite ready for big pants yet! seems so weird.. I think 16 wks is becoming the norm for joining the ranks now cos we're all chicken! I don't look in the least bit pregnant yet (apart from my ever-increasing boobs) so feel a bit of a fraud! Love the little list update though with the countdowns so many babies to come soon! Can't wait to see if we have boys or girlies.

Blue no words typed yesterday or today as beavering away in work (and went to see 2012 last night ) ...anyway, I am an old fashioned pen-writer and type up after.. only about 2000 words of book done, something tells me it may not get done before baby

kate thinking of you for scan today- make sure you pop by sharpish to let us know if we're expecting a niece or nephew!

Hi MLS hope your holiday was fab and better weather than here!

annie I love the nesting stories house will be all clean and sparkly for the new lo.

Hi bq hope you're feeling ok today

blue yay I'm gonna go check out your names thread.. dh and I haven't discussed it properly yet but there is one girl's name we're quite set on and we don't know any in RL. Can just bet someone we know will name their child that before ours is born though

Right, back to work before I get caught on here

Annie You're just making me I wouldn't be bored if I could nest properly and clean etc, but all I can do is tiny little things and then rest, I can iron 5 things a day and then I'm in tears! It's pants!

Morning,
bhudda ds1 is back to school today, fighting fit and raring to go

moon have you tested yet?

Right off to do housework, but will be lurking

Morning all, im off to meet my friend later for a girlie lunch and a good ol' gossip. Her baby is due 3 days before mine, so we,ll look a right sight waddling around together

MLS-Glad you stopped bye. BOO hiss to AF arriving this month but ive got a good feeling bout next month for you.

Buddha-I cannot believe you are bored on maternity leave!! I am loving mine so much, theres not enough minutes in the day to cram everything in i want to get done. Im making the most of the rest of this week and all next week, as the week after DS is only in nursery 3 mornings a week, will be good to have him with me, but limit somewhat what i can and cannot do. He is a typical 'man' and hates shopping, unless he gets something out of it

Moon-will be lurking later to see if you have tested, everything crossed for you!

Neeko-Hope the 12.5 weeks go speedily by for you! Thanks for the hug for Thursday.

Sabs-Gold star for you and Saara for being so brave with your jabs.

Blue-I havent yet had look at your thread re names yet, but will have a nosy later.
Ive had to put my lovely clean pram back in the garage as no room in nursery, it looks like mamas and papas in there . Theres the cot bed, crib AND moses basket, car seat,baby rocker, rocking chair, nappy bin, and other bits of paraphanalia plus the wardrobe and chest of drawers. Ive got DH to lay a big piece of cardboard on the garage floor for my pram to stand on, then covered the pram completely with a clean dust sheet and a duvet cover, job done!

Its becoming a standing joke amongst my friends my sometimes extreme nesting urges. Im a clean and tidy person anyway, but have gone into overdrive!!
I had DH take off the mattress on our bed and upend the bed completely so i could scrub the skirting board behind the bed and hoover the floor thoroughly, he just thinks ive lost the plot .

Enjoy your day, catch you all later.

Neeko It's a deal but she'll probably run rings round me on my crutches

Buddha you can look after my DD if you like

4ever I am so pleased all went well yesterday, fantastic news!! Just the kind we all love!
mermaid Unfortunately physio couldn't do much yesterday, in too much pain and she's a bit worried to do a lot due to that and the low lying placenta so not seeing me until after the birth, she also told me it could take a while to disappear afterwards bum!
Vjay How are your little ones?
Blue I checked out your name thread and was thrilled to see our choice for a boys name there too - Ewan, we seem to have the opposite problem to you, sorted a boys name unable to settle on a girls, is this an omen
Moon Have you tested? I'm holding my breath for you and may turn a little blue x
Iggy Good decision
Neeko What crap news about the CM, I bet you have the 12.5 working weeks marked out on a calendar already

Second day of maternity leave and I am so BORED! I know I won't be in 3 weeks time, but I am so limited as to what I can do, weather is crap, DH is away on a course so I feel very unsociable need to give myself a good shake I think!

Hi just popping in to say 'yay' for 4ever & double 'yay' for Iggy!

Moon Only my boobs felt different before my BFP so you never know.

Iggy well done on making big decisions. I think you're right as motherhood and impending motherhood is a big enough guilt trip without adding to your woes.

Mrskate good luck for tomorrow.

Blue any further forward on the names. I'd forgotten bout the pre-school jab. That'll be another sobfest here

Mermaid Thanks for asking - wasn't too tired last night but exhausted today. Brought home a huge pile of marking but had to give in. Making it my aim after Christmas to set lots more work that can be marked in class but I'm a control freak enthusiastic teacher so it'll never last.

Buddha Hope your first day of mat leave has gone well.

MLS welcome back to Blighty. We missed you.

Sabs Clever Saara and even more clever Saara's mummy

Curly are you out there or have you and Gracie found a cosy cave someplace?

BQ Hope you're doing ok. Your turns a coming.

Jools Hope work's not too manic and you're managing to keep some of that peaceful equilibrium you found.

Barbie What daft thing have you done today?

LBM when are you moving into big pants? They're very comfy!

Annie Hope you're bearing up ok in your difficult week. Big hug for Thursday.

And lastly another big and yeah for 4ever and her magic little bean. Are you able to post some pics or are you a technophobe like me?

My SIL/childminder got a new job today and they want her to start on Nov 30th! Her DH can take over for the hour that our jobs clash every second week but I'm going to have a bit of a childcare hassle on the other week. Roll on Mat leave - only another 12.5 working weeks to go!

moon I know - is so hard tho!

I have taken the decison to stop riding and to stop box fit - I can't risk blaming myself for anything going wrong, so going to just do swimming and yoga.

I didn't feel pregnant before testing either - if it helps?
