I think I'm going to end up bald soon My hair has only just settled and stopped falling out in handfuls after having ds last year - now it's started falling out again!!
My nails are all breaking as well - I hate this bit - you can see them slowly sucking all the goodness from you!!

SF - mine have gone realy hard as well - normally soft.

how's things now with the land lord and that?

500 still to go! By Monday. Bit scary! At least I hope it's 500, dp is going to saee what he gets paid today so waiting for the text of doom!!!

oh bloody hell - well the land lord has to give a bit surely - to get u guys out and new ppl in would take time - if u show him a proff lettter form DH's work would this not help?

Any nail probs I work in nailcare so if you want to CAT me your addresses I will send you some free strengthener!!

HI all

Munz...I have been in my "fat" clothes since week 8/9!!! When I put on maternity jeans they gape too much and are too big but my normal clothes are too tight! Hate this stage...where you just look fat, not pg!

Ladies with more than one....I have been worrying and worrying about this and not sure how to put it, but do you have enough love for 2 (or 3!) children? I know I'm being silly but DS is the centre of my universe (and DH's) and I'm worried about a new baby, will I feel the same? Will DS feel pushed out? It's making me wake up in a sweat! The other night when we had our false smoke alarm going off I was worrying which child I would go to first in case of fire etc and could I get both out? Deep down I know I'm being daft, but just feel bit vulnerable and teary about the whole thing!

Sorry such a long post!

THats brill jackstini -tyhanks!

Hi lizzylou - I had exactly the same worry when I was pregnant with ds. DD was then my whole world - and if i'm honest, for a while, I hated being pregnant because I didn't want anyone to come between me and dd. As soon as ds was born it was brill. All those feelings went away and he and dd absolutely adore each other.

Funnily enough, I'm actually starting to resent number 3 in the same way at the mo!

Thanks Swiper
Glad I'm not the only one!

Swiper and lizzylou.
Feel the same too.This will be my third and I feel a tremendous amount of guilt towards DD2.Shes such a confident little girl, am scared this will change her good nature!!Silly i know but cant help the guilt!

I was thinking the same girls! but sure it'll all be ok, so long as dd takes to the new arrival....she's currently going thru a phase of trying to keep ss away from dh.....as he's her daddy only.....ss is luckily old enough to understand tho, and is good natured about it, so hopefully dd will be better than that with bump and the rest of us, fingers x'd......

Munz you daft bat! of course you've put on weight give it another 4 months, then take a good look at those pre preggers jeans, then you'll be crying!

I feel guilty because ds was only born last year and I feel like I'm taking his mummy time away too quickly!!

I'll get over it though!

well girls this is the 1st night since I've been pregnant that I could do with a nice long cool G&T! ho hum, only 25 weeks or so to go! oh God that sounds like a long time.....

morning girls.

Last three times tried to use my doppler haven't been able to find anything other than my heartbeat ! Shan't panic yet, but would quite like some reassurance from the bloody thing! WHY oh why did i get one?!!

Off camping in surrey today. Will report back soon. Have a good and healthy weekend everyone
xx

morning girls,

how r u all doing today? hope everyone's ok. does anyone still get the odd tinge of blood when they pee? - i could hav esworn I saw a tinge of red after wiping today - probably being paranoid but i've been checking whilst wipin since day 1 really. no pain or anything. (apart from my boobs are like foot balls)

oh DH has a question for u girls - when do u get 'milky' boobs? - I think he's thinkin if we run low he can tap into my supplies for his coffee! lol.

going to try and sort out the nursery today - looks like a bomb site, not to mention it's where the comp is - althou that will have to stay put till next week - DH's mate's decided he need to come stay with us from sun - thurs whilst on a course, then DH is away on thrusday night (not keen on being in the house alone over night with friend but DH isn't bothered) then he goes away next sunday for 3 weeks, so this week only really fri night and sat I'll see him, and sat he'll be packing feelin a bit down right now. hoping it's just these bloody PG hormones. and to cap it all over DH's blinkin knees not improved - so 3 weeks away at rehab for him, just hope it's not around my scan date.

Hi guys - I'm being really silly and need someone to tell me to get a life! Got the scan coming up this Monday and was feeling really excited plus stopped feeling hung over for first time in 12 weeks so was feeling really positive. But yesterday my SIL told me she was also PG and her doc has advised paying for a nuchal scan and triple test combined as TT is not much cop on it's own. Apparently it's TT only here, you have to go to Leeds for nuchal. I may have considered doing this (I am 33) but apparently too late now as it needs to be done by 13 weeks and too late to book. SIL is only a year older than me and it seems her doc and midwife are quite concerned about age etc.

Also I got a result of a smear I had done just before I fell PG which says I have abnormalities but I can't have another smear to check until 6 months after babe is born, as there will be changes in cervix cells apparently. Nothing I can do but adds to worry as Mum had cervical cancer at similar age (all clear now thankfully). Can't find any info on whether even if worst case cancer it would affect babe.

I know I'm being stupid but I've been awake for hours worrying that I'm not doing the best for little tyke and haven't taken it seriously enough, horrible dreams last night about alien babies in me etc. DH says I should have checked sooner as midwife mentioned nuchal but I did not know what it was then, she really played it down as I am 'only' 33... so I did not ask any more questions, just accepted it.

Sorry I'm being really incoherent but just have to get it off my chest! SOmeone tell me to shut up and stop it

oooooooh piffle - u're in leeds my FIL is from there (DH is a BFD boy thou)

now, abnormal cells as far as I know won't neseccarility mean that u it will go into cancer (my mum, aunt and nan all had them) althou they are ment to be burnt out arn't they? anyhow, not sure the effect cancer wouldhave on a baby - tbh i'd speak to ur gp/mw about thhat, as we'd only be stabbing guesses I think as everyone's individual - I know thaht's not of much help to you now, but it's probably the best route - and it's what they're there for - to reassure u.

as for the scan - I didn't realise there was a cut of date of 13 weeks? hopefully touch wood ur scan on monday should go fine, and tell u everything's 'normal'. can you not go to the BRI or something instead of leeds to squeeze you in (althou I know BRI don't tell u the sex of the baby) surely you could get an emergancy apt? what is your m/w's view of things?

(((((((hugs))))))

Hi everyone

Piffy, honestly - I would try not to worry. 33 is not old, I thought the risk of Downs only really went up after 35 anyway, and even then the risk is still very small. Every area has different policies and does things differently. I'm sure once you've seen your little one wriggling around at your scan on Monday you will feel reassured. You can worry about so many things during pregnancy, there is always a risk that something can go wrong, regardless of age or tests. I know some one who had a Downs baby at aged 25 and a couple who's scans showed no abnormalities, yet the baby was born with an incurable bowel condition. I'm sorry, I know I'm not being much comfort! I guess I'm trying to say that pg is a worry for everyone - there is always a risk, yet MOST pregnancies result in healthy babies. You just try to keep that at the front of your mind. You say you are worried you are not doing the best for your little tyke - well the tests cannot enable you to do anything better for the little one, only inform you of certain information and perhaps give you time to prepare yourself. This pregnancy lark is a rollercoaster ride, that's for sure!

(((hugs)))) to you regarding your smear test results. Fingers crossed it is nothing serious, but a worry you could do without right now, that's for sure.

Munz - I know things down there can get extra sensitive and delicate when PG, perhaps the blood is coming from a slight scratch or graze when you wipe? I know this happened to me a few times when I was pg with ds. Re. milky boobs - this varies from woman to woman. I have never leaked at all during pregnancy, and incredibly after the birth either, yet I bf dd for 18 months! You might leak, or your might not. Sorry, can't tell you when it might begin.

DHW - put the doppler in a drawer and try to forget about it! I'm sure you're little one is just hiding from you - try not to worry.

Well, on Thursday I stupidly took my kids to Sainsbury's and pushed them around in a big double toddler trolley ( to keep them together and with me ). I felt fine on the day, but woke up Friday morning and I couldn't move. I couldn't even bend down to put my knickers on! Feeling slightly better today, but it's made me realise how dodgy my pelvis is, so it's no walking, no excercise, no lifting, no supermarket shopping! No hoovering etc etc until the baby is born - yikes, how am I going to cope for the next 5 and a half months??

oops, double post.

lol @ RP - that's why we made DH's! mine already takes the hoover up/down stairs and the linnen basket. - god knows what wil happen to upstairs hoovering when he's away! he also lifts the shopping in (we do online) so all I have to do is tick and pack!

Thanks everyone, I seem to have turned into 'paranoid PG woman' overnight, I think maybe SIL is ultra paranoid and she has scared me when I was feeling so positive, the misery!

Have just been on phone to doctor and she was v lovely and v reassuring about smear (esp considering its saturday!), she said if the hospital thought there was a major risk they would have suggested more tests despite PG as there are things they can check. So try not to worry (!) She said it could even have been caused by minor infection that has cleared up. Phew... I think.

I'm going to go and have a sausage butty and just look forward to seeing tyke on Monday! And NO hoovering or lifting shopping(ha ha, DH is gong to love that one!)

Thanks again for all positive vibes, I'll upload pic if I get a good one

Hi everyone

Munz has told me off for not posting (thanks munz!) on here so am back and am going to try not to moan!

So glad your doc reassured you piff, enjoy your sausage sarnie (I'm jealous!)

Things are still very quiet here, have been scanned again and everything still looks ok, no abnormalities which although the consultant didn't mention it, I knew would be possible due to the restricted space. Am 15 weeks today so have got much further than anybody thought I would. Am just making sure I'm very busy so the amount of time I spend worrying is minimised!

Glad everyone else is doing ok, dhw put the doppler away!

anchovies - u just keep relaxed honney - and we're hear no matter what happens - we all need to support each other - after all we're all in the same boat here arn't we. have u got a m/w apt comin up for 16 weeks?

(((hugs)))

Hi anchovies. I'm glad your pg seems to be progressing normally - everything crossed for you!

Thank you both! Have got a mw appointment a week on tuesday, seems like ages away!
