Shock at your dreams TTL. I take it that this Jason Orange fellow is from take that (honestly I have no idea who he is).

Last night I dreamt that I was at some event thingy and my stalker ex turned up and I spent ages trying to avoid him, then I had to do some running, then I was really upset because Miles from Home and Away didn't love me anymore and was ignoring me (WTF?). And I then had to go home on the losers bus.

Not in bed today , but it does feel good to be washed and dressed before midday for a change.

A little jealous of all the loving that's been going on. Even when I'm in the mood I still feel to ill to actually do anything.

Afternoon ladies!

Some of your mw's are rubbish aren't they. We have to book ourselves in here for a scan so I did that a couple of weeks ago but still had to wait until 1st as they are so busy (so I booked in a private one for tomorrow afternoon as I am impatient Grin).

moufflon - sorry, not had ms so have no idea if it works but fingers crossed it does for you!

One of my strangest dreams was the other night when I was told by an old friend that another friend (who she doesn't know incidentally) had died. She had accidentally killed herself when she tripped over her bag at the top of the stairs while trying to leave her husband for another man. This was then followed by the information that of her 3 children, only the middle was one her husband's and the other two were by different men Shock. There was then the conversation with her husband and various other bits, all very strange Hmm.Oh and last night a friend who I lived with at university and died 10 years ago made an appearance. Strange but nice to see him again (in a weird, know this isn't real sort of way). Wonder what tonight will bring . .

Just realised my recent ones seems to be about death. I want TTLady dreams, much better Grin Grin. Incidentally TTLady, did you get tickets?

Right off to do something before school pick up. A friend is having an early scan today after 3 miscarriages and a termination on medical grounds. I have everything crossed for her!

neenewps · 15/11/2010 14:34

sorry moufflon I haven't and I don't know anyone that has either. Hypnobirthing on the other hand I do know someone who has done this...

Dreams :) they are very strange at the moment. My MIL (in real life) has just made us some beautiful curtains for our living room. In my dream I dreamt that the parcel arrived and as I opened it up I thought.. hmmm, these are waaaay too short. Then I realised that my MIL had made me a matching jacket and skirt combo out of the leftover material!! :o I woke up giggling with that one.
I have had heaps of others too but can't remember them right now Hmm

misshoohaa · 15/11/2010 16:03

Hi all, sorry for the me, me, me message but just freaked myself out over something and wondering if anyone else was experiencing it.
Basically I don't think I am weeing more than usual, like today I've had a litre of water plus a coffee and juice and apart from the standard morning wee have only been once. I'm thinking perhaps this means my uterus hasn't grown/ baby hasn't grown = PANIC!!!!

I'm 10+6 today so was expecting to be a bit more frequent?

Any thoughts?

knackered76 · 15/11/2010 16:04

Bad news from my friend :( So devastated for her. She's had enough now, after 4 miscarriages and a termination I'm not suprised.

mrsbigw · 15/11/2010 16:22

Knackered how awful for her :( not suprised she has had enough of it all.

misshooha you need so much more blood & amniotic fluid etc at the moment so maybe that's where it is going, plus your body temp is raised so you will sweat more. I wouldn't worry in the absence of other symptoms.

Moufflon I've never tried it but let me know if it works please!

Loving the mad dreams, I only remember what I dreamed when I am falling asleep the next night but I know they are a bit offkey. Definately not getting the sex dreams though so am feeling a bit deprived Grin

NurseSunshine · 15/11/2010 16:26

Hey everyone,

misshoohaa, I've been worrying about that, however I was under the impression that towards end of 1st trimester you stop having to wee so much and then it begins again towards the end of pg? Not sure if that's right though.

Knackered, sorry about your friend :(

Well done on finishing your essay Barbie*, I love the feeling of submitting something you've worked on for so long :)

Oh no jethro, that's so horrible about the dog :( And I really hope your dp comes around. Is he just very shocked?

I had my first day of placement today and made a right fool of myself in front of several doctors, my mentor and a patient by nearly fainting! Other than that it was a good day and I think I'll enjoy it there.

The man who used to be my "d"p is not coming back. So. I'm not totally sure how I feel about it yet as am going to have to worry about practical things first such as finding somewhere to bloody live. How I'm going to afford it on a student nurse's bursary I have no frickin idea. I guess once that is sorted I will worry about other things such as giving birth alone. Woohoo

neenewps · 15/11/2010 16:43

knackered your poor friend. What a trauma for her to go through once again. Are they able to identify what the problem is and can do or are doing something about it to help her?

nursesunshine Glad your placement went well despite the fainting. You never know the Doctors might have been quite flattered and saw themselves as quite the George Clooney :o
As for your situation.. mate, what a worry for you. Are you able to go into some kind of student accommodation? Or how abouts a shared house somewhere? I have a feeling that you have said before that you are in the Southampton area?? I might be way off there.. Hmm and confusing you with someone else??!! If I am confusing you with someone else and you live in the Sussex area I have quite a few contacts around that area that very often rent out rooms. It may only be useful for an interim period as I'm sure you will eventually want your own place. Also how about some form of help from the government with housing? Can you speak to your local housing place, council or housing association??
What a git your ex P is Angry but you are probably better off without him..
Sending you big cyber hugs and hope you get sorted very soon.

NurseSunshine · 15/11/2010 16:49

I'm in sheffield neenewps, so you're only off by a couple of hundred miles or so! Basically I have just contacted the landlord of the teeny tiny flat I am in now and can stay a bit longer even though I've given notice as they've not found anyone else for it, so that gives me some time. My flat is so small I literally would not be able to fit a baby in it! The cot wouldn't fit, nevermind the pram and all the rest. I couldn't share with anyone as I can't see anyone wanting to live with a baby that's not theirs! And I wouldn't want to anyway tbh. And student halls with a baby?! Not a chance. So I'm going to have to find a flat that is bigger than mine but doesn't cost more which is going to be hard! Also I obviously don't want to leave it too late as I'd rather not be 8months pg and lugging boxes and furniture around. Yes he is a git. That's a very nice and polite way to put it!

neenewps · 15/11/2010 16:57

Oh god.. I clearly am confusing you with someone else nursesunshine sorry - baby brain has struck already :)

I can see where you are coming from with all those points. I wouldn't want to share with someone else either.

And you were so excited about the new flat you had found :( lets hope you find something else asap which is perfect for you and your little one.

evs34 · 15/11/2010 17:39

Hi all, hope your all doing ok today. I too am struggling to keep up so sorry for not replying to individuals. Bonus day at home to today as poorly toddler - though i think it is easier at work! As 11 weeks today I plucked up the courage to listen in with my Angelsounds doppler - I could hear our tiny beans heart beating away - amazing to hear and felt so relieved as scan not until next week. really happy tonight despite a whole array of preg symptoms. xx

KaraStarbuckThrace · 15/11/2010 17:56

Nursesunshine - Sad is there any financial help you can get? Can you talk to CAB to see what you can get in the way of benefits?

Knackered Sad so sorry about your friend, she must be devasted. IS she having any investigations done into what could be wrong?

Sorry to hear some of you are not getting any support from your MWs, that is crap :(

The AN care I had with DS was excellent, but they have made changes up here and from what I have seen they are not for the better...

bananarama05 · 15/11/2010 18:08

nomorechocb your dream has had been giggling away like a mad woman, love it!

so sorry for your friend knackered don't feel there's any more i can say that will help so will leave it at that Sad

NurseS i'm with Kara's train of thought, the CAB must be able to point you in the right direction of some help you would think. Do you have any course/work mates or close friends in the area you would consider sharing with?

evs congrats on the heartbeat, good to have some good news :)

After this mornings ridiculousness I rang my GP's surgery secretary and begged for inside information, she gave me the number for someone who could actually help at the hospital and it turns out my scan is booked for Tues 23rd! Yay, only 8 days of torture to wait! Just hope it doesn't clash with nans funeral, am debating telling my parents now to avoid issues but seems a bad time considering recent news, what do you think?

NurseSunshine · 15/11/2010 18:16

Yes am going to call CAB on thursday as that's the only day their advice line is open. As I'm a full time student I don't think I'm eligible for housing benefits or anything, though I think that would change when the baby was born. Really couldn't live with anyone else as newborn baby too much for anyone unrelated to deal with.

NurseSunshine · 15/11/2010 18:17

Am being very negative and not doing any good for anyone else so am off for a bit. xx

misshoohaa · 15/11/2010 18:35

Thanks nursesunshine and mrsb i'll try not to stress too much!
Sorry to hear about your break-up nursesunshine I hope that things work out for you soon.

Have a good evening everyone!

Mummynumber2 · 15/11/2010 18:49

Banana I'm so sorry to hear about your nan.

Leroy I think nightmares and strange dreams do count as a pregnancy symptom. I've had a few recently. I had one the other night where DSD was on the X factor and I couldn't remamber her name so I couldn't vote for her! I woke up feeling very angry!

Barbie It's great to hear that you're feeling a bit better.

Knackered your poor friend, I expect she must have had enough of it all now Sad

evs I've been wondering about getting a doppler. Are they easy to use? I expect you're over the moon at hearing the heartbeat!

nurse I'm so sorry it didn't work out with your p. I just want to say that you always sound so sensible and lovely in your posts. I don't think think I would be able to deal with this nearly as well as you are. I agreee about going to the CAB. My midwife also gave me some info about various benefits you can get in pregnancy today. Did you get that leaflet? Also can you get yourself on the council/ housing association waiting list? I'm not too sure how it works but the CAB might be able to help you with that too.

Thanks for all your kind words about my bleeding, obviously you all managed to wish it away as it's back to very light spotting now! Finally had my 1st appointment with a very lovely midwife today. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow!

petitech · 15/11/2010 18:52

Hello ladies, sorry to hear about your last few days nurse, spend lots of time with people who love you and get as much TLC as you can. Sometimes in retrospect these things turn out for the best don't they although it's always hard to see that at the time. I'm sure you don't need someone negative like that around you at a time like this.

On a more positive note ladies I have to share with you that I have had a lovely Next delivery today with some fantastically comfortable maternity jeans and black trousers. Felt so nice to put something on that actually fits although I can't quite believe I've put on so much weight :( Keep promising myself to swim lots when I stop feeling less sick.

How is everyone else's Monday? x

Mummynumber2 · 15/11/2010 18:52

Sorry x posts nurse. I really hope the CAB are able to help. Also just read may last post and realised it might have sounded a bit patronising, wasn't my intention!

mrsbigw · 15/11/2010 18:53

Nurse I hope everything works out for you, I am glad you have a good placement :) & I bet your mum will make a fantastic birth partner as she sounds lovely so try not to worry too much about that.

Yes Banana I would tell them. Your scan is the day before mine & I am so over excited, more than I ever have been before for some reason?

Barbie I'm glad you are going ahead with grievance & that your sickness is easing, here's to happier days ahead!

evs34 · 15/11/2010 19:16

mummy -yes it easy to use though takes a bit of finding at this early stage. i really loved having it last time around - was so good to just listen in every cpl days - for reassurance and bonding with babe.

knackered76 · 15/11/2010 19:32

Nurse not any practical advice unfortunately but want to share my thoughts on your xp what a £&*"$%£ and a total )&%(%($%^()££_$. Glad your placement went well today and agree with petitech to gets lots of tlc from those who love you.

Banana - hooray, a scan date finally for you :)

Mummyn2 - glad the bleeding has stopped :) Dopplers are really easy to use and I have to say were great (I found so anyway) inbetween the scan and the time movements were felt. Just gave me that reassurance. I know there are people who don't want to use them due to soundwaves or something like that but for me it was brilliant. Only precaution is when you can't find the heartbeat and it sends you into panic mode!

evs34 - it's so lovely hearing the heartbeat isn't it :) I have a doppler but can't pick anything up at the moment. Trying not to worry as didn't manage until 14wks with dd.

MissHooHaa - I remember clearly over analysing my weeing! I think that the reason you wee more early on is the hormones, which start easing off around 9 wks, and then later on you wee more because you have a baby bouncing on your bladder! In a roundabout way I'm trying to say don't worry about it :)

Thank you all for your kind words for my friend. She has had all the tests under the sun and there is nothing they can find wrong which is hugely frustrating for her. I'm going to take her dd when she needs time and leave my shoulder for her to cry on.

Scan tomorrow afternoon (private one) and now super nervous as last time my friend and I had bad news in the same week. Well, there's always worcester sauce crisps and chocolate to fall back on Grin.

Enjoy your evenings. I'm off to try and do some more studying .. . . now where did I put that book?!

Banana - so sorry to hear about you nan x

Nursesunshine - Oh god, what a crap time you're having. Tbh you are probably better off without him, but I understand all your worries about finding somewhere to live. COntacting the CAB might be a good starting point - best of luck xxx

DH has booked a scan for saturday, I just desperately want to know that I am pregnant and that everything is ok so far. My big scan with the consultant is in two weeks but DH clearly knew I couldn't wait that long (don't think He could either).

Felt rough as a dog today, a colleague told me I had a strange green complexion! I think a few of them are starting to suspect...

moomin156 · 15/11/2010 21:50

Evening everyone.
Sorry to hear about your partners nurse and leroy i dont really think i can say anything to make you feel better........but i do know that life can change for the better when you are no longer in a relationship that brings you down.....i am a very good example :)

Good luck for those with scans, i really cant wait for mine. Just wish i had a date. I have easy access to a doppler but am too scared to try just in case i dont hear anything and then i go into panic overdrive........
