pixie many many congratulations! Well done for the mammoth labour - and not giving up and going home :) Gorgeous name too!

MrsW we went for dinner for Mr Crazy's bday last night and the woman in the restaurant said 'hmmm well-done steak and no wine, do you have some news for me?'. I actually quite liked it because I could show off :)

kurly pleased to hear you have a RL baby buddy, that's great. I bet you can't wait to be able to break the news. And she is a month ahead so can warn you of what's to come at every stage :)

flick & bunny thanks for the Friday 13th reassurances Wink it seems like SUCH a long way off!!

In all honesty I am finding it quite difficult at the moment, I am so tired, so sick (of feeling sick), getting a cold, and to top it all off the hormones are creating havoc. I am trying very hard to stay positive as I know in time it will get better but I'm finding things quite tough. I wish I could curl up in a ball for the next 2 months till the sickness is gone (please!).

Hope you are all feeling a bit better than me! xx

cherrycobbler · 30/09/2010 13:38

Pixie huge congratulations!! What a lovely name. Sorry about the huge labour (feels like a very very distant land to me) but glad all worth it in the end to get your beautiful daughter

crazy sorry you are finding it all a bit much at the moment - it does seem like a long hard slog doesn't it? Don't have any experience to say when it will all get better but I do feel for you - having waited and wished and prayed for so long to fall pg I am feeling guilty at being as miserable as I am. Am similar to you in that I am just sick of feeling sick all the time, and so tired and overwhelmed by everything! Sending positive vibes your way, and focus on the minibutterfly you saw at the scan!

kurly hope you've had a better couple of days sickness wise and yay for telling your best friend and having RL baby friend too :)

hermya - v impressed by you having finished off all your baby shopping and having everything all ready for the LO - does it feel very real now?!

Not heard about a booking in appt or a scan but suddenly realised its because I'd not told my GP where my chosen hosp is yet. Eek! And no idea when I'll do it as they're only open office hours and I share a room with someone....

Sun is shining in London today - hope it is where you all are too! (prob not as sunny as the lovely Oz sunshine bunny and others are enjoying though!)

WorrisomeHeart · 30/09/2010 14:16

Yayyyyy pixie, brilliant news! Many congrats to you and the new arrival!

Still no news from me.. can't seem to get the baby to listen to my rational arguments about coming out a week early!! Hope everyone else is well.

Spirael · 30/09/2010 16:28

Just popping in quickly to say I've (finally) created a postnatal chat here for the graduates to graduate to. :) Looking forward to seeing you there!

Many congratulations to all the new Mums since I last posted... November, WhiteRoses and Pixie!

And, of course, a special mention for Fudge. :( I'm so sorry for your loss.

addie81 · 30/09/2010 17:37

Well done pixie! Sorry to hear labour was dreadful but delighted that your little girl has arrived safely!!

No progress here. Bp up and protein in urine so have been in and out of hospital. Don't quite meet criteria for induction yet. Have to go in tomorrow to be reviewed. I think my uterus is too comfy! She shows no signs of coming out on her own!!

Thinking of fudgecat. It is Elliot's funeral
today. X

MrsWajs · 30/09/2010 20:27

Crazy I don't mind random strangers asking me, in fact the woman in Tesco when I bought my pregnancy test even wished me luck - which seemed nice rather than intrusive - especially since it was a positive, maybe she was good luck!
No, it's certain 'friends' (I say that kind of loosely as they are more friends of friends IYSWIM) who are annoying me. Mainly most of DP's friends partners - who are all around the 21-24 age group, not hugely younger than me but it shows. Well a few of them have noticed that I've either been staying in a lot or not drinking when I have been out and I've been informed that there is a lot of speculation going on - although none of it directed at me! So on Saturday past I was meeting a few of them for drinks at one girls house and we were going out later. To try and quell the rumour mill a little bit I went to great pains to acquire an empty vodka bottle to fill with water so that I could pretend I was drinking!!! I can tell you, water and fresh orange all night was excellent! Anyway thought I had pretty much fooled everyone there until we went out and another of the girls kept saying to me "have you got something to tell me?? we know you haven't been drinking" blah blah I was sooo annoyed, why not a) just say nothing or b) ask me discreetly what she suspected! Anyway we have another house party next weekend which is an hours drive from where we live and we are expected to stay over which I will NOT be doing so we are going to tell that particular group of friends then!

Phew - kinda ranted on about that a bit!!

Congratulations pixie on baby Tegan - I really like the name too. The birth sounds like it was pretty taxing tho - poor you.

Hermya It must be such a relief to have everything bought, it's the one thing I'm dreading - it's only 3 months(ish) til Christmas which obviously is a pretty big expenditure in itself and then once that's over and done with it's only 4 months til babyWajs appears - how will we have saved enough money for everything we need by then!!!

The sun was shining up north today too cherry :) I know how you and crazy are feeling with the sick of feeling sick comment! I hope you get lucky like me and it passes soon, my nausea really only lasted about 3 weeks quite early on although at the time it seemed like the longest 3 weeks ever!!

Hope everyone else is feeling fine today and of course thinking of Fudge on a very difficult day.xx

bunnygirl80 · 01/10/2010 00:04

pixie congratulations! Sorry to hear you had such a mammoth labour, hope you're feeling a bit more normal soon Smile

hermya it must be such a great feeling to have everything ready. I thought I was really organised, but my to do list is still one side of A4 long!!

MrsWajs People speculating about you is so annoying, and quite rude when they do it to your face. A few people managed to guess I was pg before we announced it, but at least they were nice enough not to mention their suspicions until we made an official announcement.

addie hope you get your BP sorted, and LO makes an appearance soon

fudge you're still in my thoughts, yesterday must have been so hard for you.

I got a message from one of my friends yesterday announcing that she's pg. I'm so happy for her - they started TTC at around the same time as me, so it's taken nearly a year for her to get her BFP. I know she was starting to feel quite down about it all, but she's always been the first to ask me how I'm getting on, even though it must have been hard for her hearing about my pg when she was still TTC.

chancewouldbeafinething · 01/10/2010 02:03

pixie Congratulations!! i hope you are recovering well and enjoying the time with Tegan. Cant believe they let you go 3 days! would love to hear more when you can xx

addie sorry to hear you are having problems, maybe they will induce sooner rather than later?

worrisome, addie are you having any pains very low down? i have had some shooting pains which could be the cervix thinning apparently, feels different to the ligament pains....ahhh i am hoping i will go into labour before tuesday then i wont have to worry about being induced.

mrsW oh people can be a pain! they should just let you tell them in your own time. Tell them to bugger off!

cherry you will be happy to know its overcast in sydney today:(

bunny fantastic news about your friend, heres hoping she has a smooth pregnancy from here. I am sure she will be happy to have you on hand for all her questions. Is she in Oz or UK? when are you heading to the baby show? DH wants to go to manly to the Jazz fest this weekend, i am not sure if i want to be that far away from my hospital....i might go and make him put the hosp bag in the boot just in case, it might actually bring labour on by tempting fate.

Hope you are doing well hobnob cant wait to hear from you!!

Off to have my scan soon to see how huge this baby really is (really hoping it isnt much over 4kgs but i think that is wishful thinking)

bunnygirl80 · 01/10/2010 04:15

chance I was supposed to be going to the baby show today, but DH has now decided he wants to come with me to help Hmm so I'm going tomorrow instead. I think it's actually a case of him wanting to make sure I don't spend too much money Grin

Which hospital are you booked into? Good luck with the scan - hope it shows an average sized baby

SaorAlba · 01/10/2010 08:42

kurlyvoice · 01/10/2010 10:10

Morning girls,

I've managed four consecutive days of school but today was just too much, so I'm watching TV.

Fudge, I stalked you a little bit and read about Elliot's funeral, which sounds beautiful. Here's wishing you strength over the coming weeks and months.

Huge congratulations to pixie, and serious respect to you for surviving three days! Hope you're enjoying home time with Tegan.

It's nice to get up in the morning to read about exploits from other side of the world, chance and bunny. Hope the scan didn't show a 10kg baby, chance, and that you're excited about us getting into October to get two thirds of the due date on the page (10/10)!

MrsW, I'll be so cross if anyone is found to be muttering rumours about me before I'm ready to tell them, so I'm sorry that you've been on the receiving end of it. When's your second try at the 12 week scan?

Sorry that you've been pulled into - and out of - hospital, addie - hope the review today goes ok.

Cherry, thanks for being a sweetie. I've tried to be more determined to get to work but it was just too much today. Am trying not to feel too bad! And crazy, I too am sick of feeling sick and tired and achy, but mostly am sick of worrying that I am the 1 in a 100 who is going to have an mmc and won't find out until the scan.

Oh, and the scan has finally been given a date - 14th October. Not the early one like we had hoped for, and my MW had asked for, but after trying to persuade them to change it, I have had to give up and settle down for the long fortnight wait.

Off now to find something small to eat to keep the sickness at bay...!

MrsWajs · 01/10/2010 11:24

kurly second scan is on 12th October, so can't bloody wait for that although according to my last scan I will actually be 12 weeks next Saturday so don't know whether we should make it official then or wait for the Tuesday after the scan. Don't want to tempt fate!!

I think I'm going to email the girl who I was speaking about from the weekend. I just know DP will be soo disappointed if he announces it next Friday and she's sat there giving it "ha, I knew it". Not sure quite how to phrase it though??

Anyone else having trouble sleeping? I have had a hellish few nights just past, can't sleep at all, I'm either too hot, not tired (!?) belly feels bloated, etc etc. So annoying.

crazybutterflylady · 01/10/2010 12:23

kurly good for you being at home. I would have tried today but all 3 others in my team are off so I had to come in. Feeling ropey but am stuffing my face and pretending not to notice. Your scan seems quite early anyway, you'll be just under 10 weeks I think? Make sure you ask if they are planning on a second scan for the NT test because I am not sure if that one will be too early? My first NHS one is at 12+3, on 1 November. And try to stay positive, I feel a bit like that sometimes but then a wave of nausea hits me and I think it's the bean telling me I am being daft - as long as you have symptoms I think you should stay positive xx

mrsw I am a bit like that with sleep, I wake up and feel like I have got indigestion or can't get back to sleep, or am too hungry. I am sure it's because our minds are whirring. Maybe try having a bath before bed??

chance Shock 4kgs? eek. fingers crossed for you... another baby imminent, it's very exciting!

luckyseven · 01/10/2010 17:30

I am back after 2 months in the no internet wilderness and whilst I have tried to keep up on the phone so much has happened that i need to go back, make notes, type it up in word and do a proper catch up with everyone!

Congratulations whiteroses and pixiestix, so great to hear your experiences and it just goes to show how no two people are ever the same.

I am 29 weeks today and things are going great,I should have shares in Gaviscon as my consumption alone will help then weather the recession, not a great deal of movement, hopefully because of the anterior placenta but when baby does kick it is nearly always around my right boob so it must be a boy given the boob fascination. We aren't finding out the sex, the hospital won't divulge even if we wanted to but we have picked our girls name and I think we have chosen for a boy but there is a very close second too. I know we don't usually discuss names but would you guys be willing to help me choose by expressing a preference or would you rather sit on the fence?

One more week of pg yoga left but i am going to start using a dvd i bought off amazon for the rest of the time as it is too hard to motivate myself on a Monday night to go and the tutor is quite annoying to the point of being rude.

Just collected our car seat from our local Boots and i got all teary when dp walked round the living room carrying it as i always melt when i see men in the hospital car park going in to collect their baby and this time it is going to be us!

chance i hope the last few days pass quickly and look forward to hearing your news. I hear the sun is shining in oz right now, not long til you can stroll in the park with your little one enjoying the sun!(jealous!)

cherrycobbler · 01/10/2010 21:25

welcome back lucky !! Happy to express name preferences but I am the most indecisive person ever so I fear I personally would not be much help (but would love to be nosy about your names tho!)

kurly I am the same with the worrying - sometimes I think too much information (and google) is a bad thing.

mrsw I am Shock at the rudeness of your friend hinting like that! Either suspect and shut up or suspect and ask outright! (pref the former). Its not like we all keep it a secret for the sake of keeping secrets either. What did you decide to do?

crazy hope you're feeling better esp now its the weekend.

chance hope the sun comes back out for you this weekend! Its tipping it down here. How did your scan go?

hope everyone is doing well. I am up at silly o clock tomorrow for long-planned day out with some mates and bit concerned as always feel extra sick in the mornings and being tired and sick and on the train = head in a sick bag and miserable cherry, I fear. Off to get some sleep. Happy weekends all xx

mumnerves · 02/10/2010 22:30

Just poped in and so much has happened! Shock

Congratulations to Novemberali, whiteroses and pixie you all sound so content and happy with LOs that all the births were more than worthwhile..it's quite inspirational! :)

cherry sorry to hear about your train ride, it's hard to believe but I did feel like you at one point and it will go...hope it wasn't too miserable x

lucky I can't stand gaviscon and have to have another brand called peptac instead. ARe you feeling short of breath too?

MrsWajs sorry you didn't quite manage to fool your friends, if that were me I'd be tempted to turn round and snap 'mind your own business' Wink Nevermind, at least you know it is true and soon you'll have a LO and put all of it behind you!

fudge thinking of you and your OH x

Have been really busy with decorating, nursery is done and I just love going in and feeling all warm and fuzzy, just need to get DH to get round to bulding the cot bed and putting up curtains!

HAve a nice weekend everyone! x

bunnygirl80 · 02/10/2010 23:15

kurly and cherry sorry to hear you're still sick. Just remember it will pass eventually.

lucky 2 months of no internet Shock. Hope the heartburn's not too bad. I seem to have been lucky enough not to get it much, had one bad week around 28 weeks when LO had his head in my stomach, but once he turned head down it went away. Maybe the same will happen for you.

I might actually have to kill DH today.Grin Got up at what I thought was 7:30 ready to go to aerobics at 8:30, put the TV on and spent a few minutes wondering why the programmes were all the ones that would be on closer to 9am than 8am. Then it dawned on me.........the clocks went forwards last night and I've missed my gym class. Went and expressed my Shock to DH that for the first time in my life I've managed to completely miss the clocks changing, only for him to tell me that he knew it was this weekend. Why oh why did he not say something, or actually change the clocks himself Angry So I'm up early for no reason, have missed my class, and lost the money I'd prepaid for it because they won't refund if you don't turn up. And to top it all off it's raining!!!

NovemberAli · 03/10/2010 10:24

Wow, well done Pixie - three days eek! Hope you are on the road to recovery now and you are able to enjoy the first days with Tegan.

Hermya321 · 03/10/2010 12:30

Hello my lovelys!!

How are we all this fine rainy morning?

Well I've had a bit of a time of it, I went to the midwife on Friday for a check up and the midwife thinks that LO might be breech. I say thinks as she's not sure. I've got to have a presentation scan next week to see what he's up to in there. It's a bit annoying though as if I go into labour before the scan I won't be able to go to the birthing centre, I'll have to go to the hospital in the next town over. I'm not really keen on doing that, but I understand that if it's necessary than I'll have to go. At the end of the day, he either is or he isn't. I just hope that they don't hang around too long as I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and they'll have to get stuff in place quick sharp. I've been reading into EVC's, I think if he is breech I'd give it a go if they offer it to us.

In other news, the labour bag is packed apart from the coming home outfit. I have ordered it and it arrived, I opened it and stupid people have sent me the wrong flipping outfit. I rang them up and it turns out it was a misprint in the catalodge. I think they should have sent me the replacement for free, maybe I should have complained a lot more Grin. Oh well, the replacement is on it's way now.

My friend gave me a box of baby stuff to use for when LO is born, in the box she included some reusable nappies. Now in our conversations about these nappies it was sort of said, 'oh I'll chuck them in the box and you can give me something towards them' we never really discussed how much she wanted. So it's partly my fault for not asking her how much she was thinking. Anyway I got a FB message from her yesterday and she said 'oh me and DH were thinking £40 would be a good price if thats ok'. Now I was a bit taken aback at this as in my mind when she said this I was thinking 'something' meant around about £10 - £20. She did put in rather a lot and I know a lot of this is down to miscommunication, but I still can't help but be a bit annoyed as I now have to have a conversation with her where I say that 'thats a lot of money, we can't really afford it'.

I think it's annoyed me as it's come at a time when I'm still reeling from my midwifes appointment. I've decided to delay the conversation until after I've had my scan and I am in a bit of a better frame of mind.

Oh a little tip for those suffering from achey backs and ribs, my midwife recomended those heat pads things to me. So I went and got some of those cura heat ones that attach to your clothing. I have to say they're fantastic. They're no different to a hot water bottle, but lets face it you can't really lug a hot water bottle with you around Tescos can you.

Sorry this is a very lllloooonnngggg post.

bunny I think in this case the courts would understand the need for murder Wink.

Mumsnerves Can we see piccys of your nursery?

Cherry How did your day out go?

Lucky Gaviscon is hideous, if your heartburn is that bad. You can take zantac, you can get it over the counter. A lot of people on the October thread have recomended it to me.

MrsW How rude is that, maybe pull her aside and have a quiet word in her ear. I made a list of things we needed and then every month I bought a few bits and then ticked them off, it helped me not to panic and also helped to spread the cost a bit. Seriously ebay is your best friend, I haven't bought very many things new. I've got a lot of our stuff second hand.

Chance 4kgs , eekkkk! I hope the scan goes well.

Addie I hope your review went well.

Fudge I read about the funeral, it sounds beautiful and I was in tears. I hope you and your DH are getting all the support you need at this time. I am so sorry and you're in my thoughts.

Hi everyone, just a brief post (got my boy fast asleep, curled up on my chest, and I want to try and get him down so I can shower and have lunch before it all starts up again!)

Anyway, hige congratulations to Pixie - three days - wow! And you say I'm the better woman - I had it very lucky, it would seem! I don't know if I could have kept going like that for three whole days - I'm NOT a big fan of labour, safe to say! You did amazingly well - it must've been awful. Though, as you say, sooo worth it! Grin Congratulations! xxx

Spireal - looking forward to checking out the new thread soon - thank you! :) x

Hermya321 · 03/10/2010 21:01

I've just discovered that Verbaudet do underwire nursing bras and they're actually quite reasonable, I've gone ahead and bought some. I don't know how good they are, but I thought I would let you know of my find.

clicky

mumnerves · 03/10/2010 21:25

Hermya I'll post some piccies when it's done, promise, won't be till nov though as need to wait for FIL to put some curtain rails and shelving up (DH is useless at DIY) Thanks for the verbaudet tip, will have a look at them when I need some nursing bras :) It was a bit cheeky of your friend but were they new ones? reusables are really expensive. Hope LO turns before it's time, apparently they can still turn quite late. x

whiteroses you sound so content, how lovely :)

chancewouldbeafinething · 04/10/2010 02:33

HI all - MN keeps losing my posts so this is just a quick one...

Scan went ok on friday, was told baby is too big to get a proper measurement now anyway- no news until i see the consultant tomorrow though. And no signs of early labour here :( I just got an iphone4 so at least i have something to play with until LO arrives!

Hope everyone is doing well xxxx

crazybutterflylady · 04/10/2010 13:27

Hi everyone just a quick hello during my lunch pause (have to eat a bit then wait, then finish... stops me feeling sick for some reason?!).

Hope you've all had a good weekend - shame about this awful weather Hmm think winter is going to sneak up on us quite soon! I love the cooler weather, it's just the rain I can't handle.

hermya that's a bit rude asking for money for stuff - perhaps just apologise and say you have already blown your budget so can't afford it and suggest she puts them on eBay? If it were me I would be pleased to get shot of clutter and help a friend out at the same time... hey ho.

cherry sorry about your Saturday train journey, hope it wasn't too bad? I am looking forward to the weekends so much at the moment because it means I don't have to get a train anywhere. It's bad enough during the week. I was really lazy this weekend and stayed in the whole time except for a trip to sainsburys to stock up on anti-sickness measures I'd forgotten in my delivery (warburtons toastie, lucozade, ribena).

kurly hope you are doing ok too. I also found out a good friend of mine is 11 weeks pg this weekend, am so happy! Although when I spoke to her she was so blase about it all and said she was feeling sick all the time but laughed it off. It made me feel like I'm behaving a bit dramatically if I am honest! Not good :(

chance not long now, so exciting...! glad you have an iphone though so you can let us know when it all begins :) haha!!

I am still feeling really sick and really tired... counting the weeks till it goes! I have my booking in appointment tomorrow... do I need to know anything or ask anything?! I am rubbish at this Grin

Hope you are all well xx

Mumsnerves Yeah they're practically brand new, she never used them. I know they're expensive and I really didn't mind giving her something tbh, but I was a little taken aback at the amount she wanted. I have messaged her back saying that we can't really afford it at the moment and that I can post them back to her for her to sell on herself as I don't want to mess her about. As I said, I think this one was a case of crossed wires. I don't think it helped that I got the message when I was still reeling from being told LO was breech.

On that note, I've got a scan tomorrow to check his position. I feel quite relaxed about it, I have a feeling that whatever happens it'll all work itself out in the end.

I'm spending my day watching Sense and Sensibility on DVD, I also watched North and South yesterday. In all my hormonalness I have rediscovered my love for Richard Armitage, he is lovely though and quite quite single Wink.

Crazy You could ask what your trust offers in terms of testing, my trust didn't offer the nuchal fold test so I had the quad test in the end. It may be worth asking about what your choices are for hospitals/birth centres are in your area and what type of classes the NHS offers. If you wish to do NCT classes, I would suggest booking them sharpish as they fill up super fast these days.
