Feb 2011 - growing bigger, loosing our figure

[angels1]

Just a new thread as I noticed we are near the limit (again)!

Mark Lester, who starred as a child in Oliver! became an osteopath in adulthood. He was also a friend of Michael Jackson and (he has claimed and the Jacksons haven't denied it) is the biological father of MJ's children (also their godfather, I think).

But of far more interest to the world at large, he is ledkr's osteopath.

It's ashame that Oliver Twist isn't his real name. Seems quite appt for an Osteopath .

He was Oliver Twist in the orig version of it.He also came forward and claimed to be the sperm donor for M.J. s kids after he died.I have to resist the temptation to ask him about it all but dont as am far too cool.
I feel so upset about Lily Allen she was due in Jan so a bit further on than us.The press keep refering to it as "a miscarriage"which would really hack me off if i was her,far bloody worse imo.Makes me climb out of mt sense of security which i have managed to cultivate of late.

I think if she was due in Jan then it might actually go down as an official still birth with a death certificate for the child, I believe, so yes ledkr to call it a mc is not really doing it justice. Although obviously any form of baby loss at any stage is always going to be devastating. I have no idea what I would do if it was me.

sorry didnt read that guy fawkes was in the know. Yes my body has been touched by famous hands!!Hes ok a bit effeminate tho.haha

Always feel you dont get value for money tho as he sticks the needles in then f**ks off for 30 mins. He could at least tickle my back for 30 quid.

That would hack me off too, Ledkr because if she was due in jan she would have been further than 24 weeks.

My friend's SIL has just had her 20 week scan and found out that their baby has Spinabifida plus a growth on the spine. They've chosen to terminate. I feel so sad for them an awful situation to be in.

Well i eventually got over my mc as had never seen it or knew the sex etc. My mum lost my brother at full term and we have all never really got over it so i think far worse yes.Im sure it will kick off my worrying head now.I really dont know how people cope with it either. I feel no different with the baby now than my other children.

back to regular name, phew.

lol at ledkr - I used to feel the same way about accupuncture - you paid all that money just for someone to spend 5/10 mins sticking needles in and leaving you alone for half an hour (and my accupuncturist would get someone else in the room next door done while I was lying there - so I felt she was being paid double to ignore me most of the time - and once she dug the needle in my hand in too deep so I was in agony and couldn't move my hand but couldn't take it out due to other needles everywhere and she was next door with someone else so I couldn't get her in, I just lay there in pain wishing the time away). Still, you could have got some juicy jackson goss while you were there for us

was athread on here 2 weeks ago a girl had to have her labour induced at 18 wks and she described the whole thing. I cried so much i was nearly sick.My mate lost one at 22 weeks too and she always cries if we get on the sherbert. She has just had a little girl tho Kiki. Adorable so happy ending i suppose.

yes I still feel upset a year later by my mc last year - if I wasn't pg again now I think I'd still be struggling a little. To lose one now so late would feel so devastating, especially as we can feel it moving and many of us know the gender and have names etc. My mum lost a baby to cot death and I can see she still feels pain at the loss 30 years later - I get really really scared the same thing will happen to me and I can't imagine how I'd every get over it.

I had some needle pain angels. My ankle felt all weird and seized up and i could hear him talking about cars next door. What can you do shout "mark" or "Oliver" I was nodding off too and was worried i would roll over and impale myself on the needles in my back.
I should have launched into Umpapa at the top of my voice or told him i had some porrdge for him. Sorry couldnt resist it.

angels i have one of those monitors with the sensor. Love it. Had it with dd and its very reassuring.

I got over my mc as when I fell pg with DD and then she was born I felt like my lost baby had "come back," does that make sense? Probably not and that probably sounds ridiculous but thinking that way really helped.

My mum lost a baby at full term, 10 hours after his birth 41 years ago, long before I was born. They didn't have to have funerals then and it makes me feel sad that the only person who saw my brother was my Dad. My mum never got to see him, they whisked him away . My Dad died nearly 14 years ago so there is no living person with a memory of that little boy and I find that so sad. No scan pics, no footprints like they would have now...

Anyway... Happy thoughts people! We're all having babies soon! Yay!

L out loud at ledkr he he.

Would buy a sensor one ledkr but we already have a monitor MIL have given us which she keeps going on about how great and top of the range it is (has no sensor though)

just quickly before we get too miserable about mc's - I still often think about all the people on this thread who left us due to mc (knitternottwitter, chloe etc). Does anyone know if any of them are expecting again? It would be really nice to have some good news from the old friends on here.

Going back to the subject of weddings, can I make the case for a large wedding? We had two weddings- an Indian one that had hundreds of guests including a lot of people I didn't really know (that was mainly for my parents) but we also had a legal wedding in a hotel with over 100 guests that were all quite close family as I'm very close to all my cousins and aunts etc. It was actually really nice to have one day with everyone we love in the same place at the same time. It wasn't even as expensive as you'd think as we cut quite a few corners. My dress was a sari that was £50, and my cake was cooked by my aunt. So not all big weddings are that bad!

I wanted a bigger wedding Zero, but DH didn't. If it had been up to him it would have been just us so we compromised on just family for the ceremony and meal etc and then a party to celebrate with friends. I only have a small family, DH has a large one but his extended family are useless live a bit away and didn't want couldn't come. Your wedding sounds lovely!

Ledkr, I think if it was me I would automatically get "Oliver, Oliver! Never before has a boy wanted more..." stuck in my head and would have been humming it throughout the session!

I always fall asleep during my acupuncture sessions! Feeling a bit guilty at the moment as the dcs are not dressed yet after last night's halloween shenanigans - tis only 9.40 here though! Feel really sad for Lily too. It's made me more nervous about my appointment this week too.

Just got back from the doctor. She said the only thing I could do was take a paracetemal and that it was "just" my joints getting used to pregnancy :(

DD didn't get dressed till midday . No pre-school today!

Oh no, it's crap when they just say paracetamol! Glad they don't think it's SPD though, might be a chance of it easing?

zerominuszero Big weddings can be loads of fun, just wasn't quite right for us (lots of reasons, one of which is my current need to be in bed asleep really early cos of preggers-ness!!)

Baby has moved today but seems quieter than usual (am paranoid after reading the Lily Allen story). Any tips and tricks to make it encourage it to move?
