Jue in June part 3

[moomin156]

We have now reached 2000 posts so need to start another thread.

Thanks for the comments, the nuchal scan isn't offered where I live as standard so would have to go private if I wanted it, plus as I understand I could only have it either next week or the week after IF my dates are right. The blood test here isn't until 16 weeks I think...

Evening everyone.......
welcome to any newbies and welldone everyone who has had good news and thinking of those who havent

My symptoms seem to have disappeared but i just seem to be getting fatter, i reckon about 5lb but my shape has really changed. Bought a GAP maternity top at the weekend, for the length more than anything, fed up of my normal t shirts showing my belly.

me and DH had test discussions at the weekend. He is woried about our ages and if we did have a Downs child then what would happen long term....i feel that i couldnt terminate. i think we will go for the first test and then progress if need be, make decisions if and when we need to.

At the minute i dont even feel pregnant, even had a wonderful afternoon in bed with my DH, he couldn't believe his luck :)

Lol moomin

motherofsnortpigs your family looks so lovely, your little girls are the sweetest things. Is the baby a boy?

Thanks for everyone's support.

OMG moomin - I have NO idea how you can be bothered with all that bed nonsense lol

can't normally sasamaxx, feel a bit sorry for him. its gone from as much as we can fit in to virtually zero. Today i have no symptoms at all and even felt in the mood, shocking lol, hoping its not my bodies way of telling me to get practicing again!

motherof your photos are fantastic, am sure my hormones aren't helping but you all looked so relaxed & loving together, your children are beautiful & it sort of made me want to cry a bit

And thanks so much for the ARM piece, it all makes so much sense now about the pain etc. Definately going to be pushing for being left to my own devices this time.

Well that was one nice roast dinner.

moomin how I dream of those long forgotten lazy Sunday afternoons. DH and I were so tired by 2.30 this afternoon we were both on the verge of tears. Hence the dinner a deux - time to reconnect. And don't worry, I am always much more in the mood when pg!

Thanks for all the kind comments about the photos. They make me cry every time Mrsbigw

I think DD2 is wearing a large Motherease Airflow wrap over an unfeasible amount of terry towelling sasamaxx. She has now progressed to Motherease Sandy's (sp?) with a booster, and has been dry two nights in a row, incidentally.

Yup, nursesunshine the baby is a boy. I found out when I put my hand between his legs as he was lifted up to me. He is now nearly 10 months old and very, very cute and funny.

All is love and fluffy in this household tonight (that could be the tiny glass of wine speaking). I wonder who will be the first to break the peace? Night all.

motherofsnortpigs - fantastic - dry 2 nights in a row. I dream of those days. Feel quite sad that I can recognise motherease PUL a mile off lol

motherofsnortpigs beautiful pictures, just what a needed to put a smile on my face. x

thanks for all your kind words, sory just needed a rant earlier. dp has been fab this evening in all fairness, cooked a lovely roast whilst i had a sleep and even let me watch friday nights eastenders on the sofa with a hug so maybe i was a little harsh earlier.

His families business is very new and quite frankly chaos at the moment and he understandably is doing everything he can to help + work full time + put up with my temper tantrums and falling down stairs meaning he has also been full time carer to our 3 month old puppy the last 2 weeks. It just gets a bit much, we are both off work tomorrow and i have threatened to turn his phone off - he gets 6/7/8+ calls a day and it's just a bit much at the moment.

I'm lucky to have family around, my parents live close and i have been at theirs all day, tbh honest it's my dad I'm worried about not me but time will tell. x

Here's to a better week starting tomorrow for us all. Hope you are all tucked up in bed by now

Aw bless him Banana glad you got some TLC it is priceless.

Sorry in advance to those of us that are at work or have to work today (please don't hate me I have done the working & pg thing before I know how hard it can be) but I am so tired I need to go back to bed already. I have never been so exhausted in my life. I don't look anaemic though so maybe I am just finding this pg hard work? I fell asleep for 3 hours yesterday afternoon & still couldn't wait to get in bed.

On a brighter note I will reach the Big Twelve Weeks this Thursday

Banana - sorry to hear about your nan, hope she passed away peacefully.

Nurse I am and for you. I really, really hope your not so DP wakes up and realises what a selfish, inconsiderate person he is - leaving with you no money or food
Thank God your mum and dad were able to help you out, your mum sounds like a very wise woman!

Motherofsnortpigs - thank you for sharing those photos, I love the one where you are all snuggled under the duvet - you all looks so blissful!

I think Dh is coming around to the idea of a HB. I would love to do it in the bath but main prob is that our door opens next to the non-tap end so it would make it awkward to reach me. I guess I can always take the door off

MS easing, but feel a bit worn out today. DS and I are going to have a pj day as can't be bother to gop out - going to be washing all day today!

Thanks Kara she was 80+ and had DVT a couple of weeks ago so they think it was a blood clot, if it was it would have been quick which is one saving grace i suppose.

I have today booked off work as holiday (just chance, booked in May to use up hol days!), was planning a little trip to the seaside with the new pup and dp but after yesterdays events have decided to stay closer to home.

Am currently snuggled up on the sofa with puppy, wish every Monday was like this

DP is still in bed and so far has already had 3 missed calls and a text from good old family (I confiscated his phone last night and left it downstairs so we could get an uninterrupted lie in, how sad is that?), despite telling them he wasn't coming over today and we needed a bit of space. Grr...

Oh well pma for the rest of the day and all that, he offered to take me out for lunch so just need to decide what I think i fancy for at least 10 mins before changing my mind entirely!

Ooh x-post Leroy, I'm going to ring the hospital today as have had no letter yet and am 11+2 today. Midwife was a cow when I rang 2 weeks ago and told me she wouldn't expect me to have heard by then so I'm going to try calling directly as someone suggested on here.

At this rate I shall be going on my own too as dp won't be able to get time off work at such short notice. (Having nuchal so was told I would have it from 11+3!)hopefully your DP will be a bit more comfortable with it all by the time 20 week scan comes around?

I had an odd dream last night, not sure if you would class it as a nightmare...I think I would...found out my mum was pg too! Very strange.

Hi all and thank you so much for your lovely messages and advice, it really helped.

Feeling better now and dh and I are fine, have been so busy writing an essay (which I should have had finished ages ago) which is worth 30% of my overall mark, anyway its submitted now. Phew!!.

Still having huge, huge hassle with work - have actually been offered a new job/ transfer but would mean I would have to be demoted and therefore (obviously) take a pay cut which really is unfair when I havent done anything wrong. I get the impression they are trying to put me off submitting my grievance tbh.

On a brighter note, I hit the magical 12 weeks on Saturday gone . I feel very pregnant but wont be completely happy until I have a scan. Still no word from hospital about one actually!!! , really think my GPs forgot to book me in (as they do it for you here) as I registered the pregnancy at 5 weeks pregnant (as I had to discuss medication I had been taking). Anyway, have doctor's appointment today so Ill enquire then. Hope it doesnt delay things too much though..

My hyperemisis seems to have completely eased off!! , I still feel sick /nauseaus at times, particulary if I dont eat often but I can definately live with that. long may it last.

Anyway, NurseSun how are you today? have you heard from him? My heart really goes out to you, in a non patronising way as I understand oh to well what its like not to be treated very well/ have constant arguements when pregnant and it is really horrible. Im sure you know already but if you ever need to talk.

Banana I am so, so sorry to hear about you loss and am so happy that your getting the kindness and support you need.

Motherofsnortpigs thank you so much for sharing your beautiful pics. Your children are absolutely gorgeous. To be honest though, am very, very jealous of how skinny you are immediately after giving birth!! You look great. Your DH, I think is about 3 days older than mine!!!

Petitech, I wont be having nuchal test. Its not routinely offered here anyway - (maybe it is if your older?, not sure anyway, as Im 25, it definately hasnt been offered to me.)

I know its not just age that is a factor - DH's uncle (at 28) and his wife (aged 26) had a baby with Downs syndrome but regardless, we wouldnt do anything about it, wouldnt terminate and it would just be a waste of time (for us, personally) so no.

Hope everyone is well today.

Ooh that is hard LeroyJethro, We love our dogs too and I would be devastated to have to get rid of one. That said, I would 100% completely agree with you, you cant trust any dogs around children. Its just not worth taking the risk.

We have a huge St. Bernard and a Springer Spanial but we live in the middle of the country with a stupidly big gardens and the dogs live in kennels outside so we're ok.

Hope your DH comes around soon. No doubt he will adore this baby though.

at your midwife

Grrr just rang radiology dept at local hospital (after 20 mins of trying to get through) to be told we don't deal with that and no I don't have the number for the department that does, I'll put you through to switchboard...

Switchboard got stroppy I didn't know who I needed to speak to and put me through to the Antenatal Scan Line, which due to "high demand" are now "only open" 2 afternoons a week, Monday is not one of them! No option to leave a message.

Had to ring switchboard back to find out what number exactly I'd put been put through to as she didn't bother telling me.

Just left a message on my MW's line where they promise to call you back... in 24 hours. FFS. Might get a scan before 2011 at this rate.

Anyone know how you book private scans and how much they cost generally speaking?

Fair play dp has suggested ringing them and bets they'd fit me in straight away if they're getting £££ out of us.

I'm not really early anymore and resent paying for it when I could have it this/next week I just don't seem to be able to get an answer out of anyone if I've actually been booked in / if my letter has just gone awol!

Sorry to hear about your Nan banana

Whereabouts do you live Banana? Perhaps someone may have some insider knowledge :)

I can't believe the hassle that some of you ladies have had with MW's. I feel very fortunate that my apt making has been relatively straightforward so far!!

Hello to all newbies and all the oldies. Sorry I can't reply to everyone individually but there are too many posts

Thanks neenewps haven't told family yet and am a little worried about scan clashing with the funeral which is now another reason I'm stressing about finding out dates!

I'm Cambridgeshire way. Daftly dp's mum worked in the radiology dept at the hospital until last month when she retired! My mum also works at the hospital but is signed off sick this week!

banana that is truly ridiculous. It was similar (but not as bad) here - I rang the hospital by getting a number from the internet, and then had to be put through to the scan line, which is only open 10.30-3. I rang at 2.30, and was on hold in a queue for half an hour. Then at 3 (when I was apparently the next person in the queue), it just cut dead! After half an hour of waiting! Grrrr. Then there were various switchboard mishaps of the kind you describe... perseverance is the only way!

My MW rang me on Thursday to say she would ring me over the weekend to make an appointment and, big surprise, never called. As she is basically uncontactable I am getting fed up now. Am actually only 8+1 but my LMP was 18th August so you think they'd bother to contact me by now!

leroy I reckon you can count nightmares as a 'symptom'. I have been dreaming really vividly every night and waking up at 4am every single day. I think I have only woken up at a normal time once since I have been pregnant. Last night I dreamt I went for the scan and they discovered I had cancer all through my back. Then my DH and I stole a baby from an American family and smuggled it home on a plane. The night before I had sex with Jason Orange, even though it's Mark I really want . Wasn't exactly a nightmare though, as he was pretty damn amazing ...

Anyone else with the dreams?

nursesunshine how are you doing? Did you hear from your (D)P? I hope you got through the weekend okay, crochet or otherwise!

at moomin and the afternoon in bed. Gotta give my DH some 'attention' tonight as he's going away for 5 days and sex has been thin on the ground. Don't want him to think I used him for his sperm and now I don't care

Sorry for not replying to each of you, am keepin up with your posts tho.

Has anybody used the Morning Well Cd for morning sickness relief? I just copied the cd to my iPod & have listed the cd on eBay incase anybody else wants to give it a go.
I have no idea if it works yet but am at the willing to give anything a go stage.

Would be good to hear if others have had relief from it.....
