Hey girls. Sorry I have been away so long I have been thinking of you all but haven't even lurked for a while as we had a real scare and the last couple of weeks have been awful. After various scans, yet more tests, far too much googling from me and totally contradictory opinions from doctors, we were getting really worried about the baby. Anyway, we are a lot more relaxed now, they are monitoring things and all going well curlygirl will be popping out to say hello a little early just one week from today Thanks so much neeko, mermaid and cupcake for your texts and to everyone who posted xxx
It sounds like it's been a weebly time for lots of people but also some lovely news Congrats Monkey I saw you on the medium pants list and was so happy for you but then saw about your mum. I'm so sorry honey, it must be so hard right now. big hugs xxx
Lovely small panters it has to be good news for all of you next. January is hard enough, I just wish that this year would hurry up and start getting good for you all
moon I'm so sad for you a year after you lost your first little one I had very little to remind me of my babies too. No pregnancy tests, just one scan picture (to confirm my second MMC). The day I had the scan and found out that my lo had died, I had seen these two paintings that formed one beautiful picture of a seascape. So we ended up buying them and every time I see them on the wall I think of my lost angels. I feel guilty being happy now sometimes. Hope you are not too lonely without DP this week Sorry about the evil witch arriving but hang on in there in work - it will be worth it when you get up the duff which will be very soon honey xxx
mls the acupuncture sounds amazing. I have heard so many good things about it Sounds like it has been hard but has done you good. I'll be thinking of you on your edd next week honey. big hugs and keep us posted on news (12 dpo??). So nice to think you are smiling again xxx
jools I am picturing superwoman you go to the gym and still have energy to seduce DP I'm so smiling at hearing your positive self. Things are going to change for you soon xxx
Buddha hope DS's reflux problems have improved. Could an osteopath help? Though I may be gettin confused between reflux and colic
lbm Have a look at the NICE guidelines for antenatal care. I think they recommend 39 weeks minimum as the baby has a much better chance of not needing care in the nicu. Yay for it being a girl and for being in Paris
4ever you poor weebler. It sounds like it has been a horrible worrying couple of weeks for you We are going to have to build a nest made of cotton wool for you. Your little one will be fine just hang in there for a few more weeks and then it will get easier to believe. I hope you are feeling a bit more reassured now but I totally understand where you are coming from. I'm sending you the most massive hug and hope you are taking it easy honey xxx
blue I'm still laughing at your sound of music medley I think DH might divorce me if I resorted to such tactics
mermaid glad your AF is done with. When are you seeing the doctors about the fibroids? It must still be so raw for you. I hope you are doing okay brave lady xxx
neeko I still haven't packed my bag yet. I think I need you over here to sort me out. The cot finally arrived at least so we can put that up I'm so happy and sad for your friends with the premature baby. I hope they have him home really soon. Hope you are not worrying too much about the kidneys it is such a rollercoaster isn't it? Stay away from google though (says the girl who can't )
vjay a weekend away in Edinburgh sounds amazing. I can't believe Ajay will be six months by then I've only been to Scotland twice and both were work trips in the random end of nowhere. We are thinking of doing a road trip of a Scotland when the baby is a little older - it always looks so beautiful (on location location anyway )
barbie are you all settled into the new villa? I had a total melt at the thought of you in the nursery lol at your baby hiding her big bum - must be a girl Is the itching just around your belly? Ring the midwife especially if you are getting itchy hands and feet. Try not to worry tho.
lovely cupcake is it definitely sciatica? I've had really bad spd and it sounds quite similar - apparently it is often misdiagnosed as sciatica. Does it get worse if you try and walk it off, or turn in bed. Mine was mainly in my hips but also sometimes my back. Your gp should be able to refer you to a physio. Also if it by any chance is spd, keeping your legs together when you move in or out of bed, and clenching every muscle around your bum / pelvis also really helps - like a natural support belt. Also try not to put feet up or slouch on couch. Good news is that mine got a lot better and is now controllable. Don't worry we'll find another name for you How about Luca?
sabs the baby massage class sounds lovely. I'm going to try and find one locally and will definitely do mum and baby pilates too
lion so nice to see you back. Give that lovely little boy a big kiss from all of us. Total heart melt at his big sis entertaining him and making him giggle
iggy The bra thing can get kinda expensive. I found I was buying new ones every 3 weeks in the beginning. Then when my bump started growing I moved into the big mama ( . )( . ) territory. Can't wait to wear pretty underwear again though it will be a while I totally know where you are coming from with being uncomfortable about telling people about the pregnancy. It's so hard to be normal pregnant after what we've been through.
Anyone heard from baking or ginger recently?
Big hugs to gracie won't be long now
mrskate roll on the next three weeks. It will fly, believe me
annie big hugs to you. Hope you got through the anniversary this week ok Big hugs to Ellis xxx
Where is MM. Hope you are ok lovely?
And finally scamper my lovely neighbour how excited am I to see you back I was so worried that something had gone wrong and have thought about you many times. Congratulations on scampergirl. That is such wonderful news. Now don't go disappearing again!!
Gosh I'm knackered. It has taken me all day to read through the last two weeks but I'm so glad to be back. curlygirl is moving around again as she likes to at this hour. I so can't wait to meet her
Big hugs and lots of love to you all xxx
