February 2012 Baby Bus!

[m1nn1em0u5e]

So who is due February 2012?....

Im due 1st February with baby number 3!....Already have 2 Sons, age 8 & 4....

Found out on Monday :)

No word at all from midwife! Have rang EPU and they have booked me in for a scan on the 12th july, have said they will not do it before as they probably won't see anything

No bleeding, but still cramping.

Booked in at EPU tomorrow morning. Let's wait and see.

Good luck to everyone x

Bill and Stinky, my fingers are crossed for you both too. Wishing you lots of luck.

Not much to report from my end today apart from being TOO HOT. And that is all.

bill & stinky - fingers crossed for you both. there are a lot of posts on different threads saying that the mw doesn't get back to you - it would be nice if they'd just return your call even if it was just to say "I'm not ignoring you - I'm just busy - will call you back properly later" :(

babycarmen did you have your scan today? What happened?

Seriously fingers crossed for you all stinky and bill.

All the best, Bill and Stinky

I cracked and told my secretary today. Frankly it's easier for me that she knows. It's helpful that she understands that I'm feeling like shite and stressed (she knew about the MC).

Fingers crossed bill and stinky I know its hard :(

No, phlossie, my scan is wednesday, seen m/w today for booking in though. Went well but il be getting more scans then usual due to problems i had with DD, il need to have growth scans. Back at midwife in 2 weeks and will see consultant at 12 weeks.

Got lunch with a friend tomorrow then scan at 9.15 on wednesday when hopefully il be given peace of mind. (fx) Im kinda glad my symptoms are still bad as it must mean the pregnancy is still going, right? right. :)

Phew! Is this heat making anyone else completely exhausted? Haven't really had many symptoms so far but totally wiped out today. Not sure if it's the heat or me!

Am also really bloated today. Don't think I can be showing yet as only 6+1 but I look about 4 months

Also couldn't face nice fish dinner DH proposed. Settling for boiled eggs and soldiers infront of desperate housewives instead!

man what a day! been really gippy especially this morning. So glad i had the office to myself, could curl up and do as little work as possible. Couldn't stomach any food, just had to nibble little bits of ryvita and dry cereal. Then come 3pm i felt fine and was bloomin starving!!!! Just had a nice big bowl of spag bol complete with garlic bread :) mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Also attempted the gym today :oS oh dear :( So miffed cos before i found out i was well stuck into a 10km training plan and was doing really well. In fact the day before i found out i managed a 4 n a half mile run. Today 16mins n i was fit for nowt! Running makes me need a wee and hurt my boobs so much i felt they were going to drop off!!!!

well I've had my first proper meal in two weeks, no sickness tonight. Bollocks.

Wish I was feeling all sicky like carmen in the nicest possible way of course

melliebobs there's no way I could handle the gym right now. Haven't been for weeks. Just a bump in the road in the car leaves my boobs in agony!!

i managed to muster the energy for 40 minutes. I was a blooming wreck at the end of it though! lol Low impact is going to be theway forward i think. Ah well it's better than nothing!

Room for one more??

Dc2 due 3rd Feb (ish)

Hi Flapjack congratulations and welcome!
I hope everything goes well for you on Wed at your scan Babycarmen
Bill- thats great about eating a meal, hope you are feeling good later on.
For those of you who have gotten nausea already when did yours start? I'm 5+3 and I woke this morning feeling dizzy and sick, it was ok after a few hours, I'm also gone off food completely, I am having a piece of toast and microwave meal, even though the dog is getting most of it. I can't get enough of fruit though, especially oranges.

for me it started on saturday so would have been 6+1. Had good workout running up and down stair to stare blankly at a toilet bowl! But today has been the first day where i haven't been able to stomach anything apart from crispy dry things until later in the afternoon then all i wanted was stodge!

But DH has been in hospital today and in the waiting room there were a couple of pregnancy mags so he got stuck into a couple of them. When he came home he was like 'if you want to eat, eat. Just think about what your about to put in your mouth though!'. Also, according to him if i'm tired i'm allowed a nap! Bless him, he came home all excited full of information!

I'm 6+1 today and don't really seem to have had any yet...a few little waves but not sure if it's in my head because I'm terrified of it starting. I'm just following my instinct when it comes to eating or not. If I want something in particular I just have it and I have to eat the second I get hungry. Been snacking on watermelon which is healthy, hydrating and refreshing so don't feel to bad about all the pom bears crisps I've been eating!

OMG POM BEAR!!!!!! I've not had those in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages

Melliebobs have you tried swimming? It's about the best thing you can do while you're pregnant. My doctor told me to be careful about anything like running/ jumping, because "impact" activities aren't recommended during pregnancy.

Very mild sickness here, but I think it's due as much to the heat as to the baby. I swam v early this morning before DH started work, and ate a whole box of fish fingers for lunch and a whole bar of chocolate (the big, 100g ones) so I can't have been feeling that bad!

Any of the 2nd or 3rd timers use terry nappies? My old fold isn't woking for me, and I'm at my wits end with constantly scraping poo off G's clothes. I don't know what's the best thing to be using with a 11mo.

BTW Maltesers88, I didn't get any MS at all with my first pregnancy, apart from one morning when I felt a little queasy, but otherwise nothing.. Not everyone does- my two closest baby friends both escaped without any either. IME (which is limited, admittedly) the younger women of my aquaintance have been far less bothered by MS than the older ones.

Thanks needle that's good to know. Here's hoping I'm one of the lucky ones!

hey needle i like the idea of swimming, but, i'm cack at it!!! I only learnt to swim a few years ago and my technique is aweful i get really bad neck ache! Also my gym has an uber cool poolside area it will just be depressing that i can't go in the Zen Steam room or the outdoor hot tub :( Also if i aint dripping when i leave the gym i don't feel like i've had an effecient enough workout! I've always been active so just intend to carry on to the level i'd got at for as long as possible. But think it's just going to be cycling/xtrainer/rower and spinning before too long.

mellie- i'm not a good swimmer either, but you'd be amazed at how quickly you improve if you go semi regularly- I hate not being able to go in the steam room too, it drives me mad! See, i HATE the gym- I think I've been once in my life. I can't stand exercise when it feels like the onlyreason I'm doing it is to exercise. DH and I used to do a hell of a lot of dancing, but our social life isn't quite so active as it used to be, when we were swing dancing 2/3 times a week.

I hear you with the swimming thing, Mellie. I learnt as an adult too, and am still rubbish - have never mastered breaststroke at ALL, and my front crawl is seriously crappy. Quite like backstroke but keep bumping into things! And I'm still slightly scared of the deep end.

Mind you, I'm pretty scared of exercise full stop, even when not pregnant

Made a huge tit of myself last night. Heat was horrible, and the trains were well up the spout. I waited half an hour for a train that then got cancelled, and eventually had to tube it across London to get on a completely different train line. Which was also up the spout, so people were pushing and surging onto trains and it was like sardines. Once I'd got on the train, I went seriously wobbly and started shaking. I wouldn't have keeled over, because it was so packed there was nowhere to keel over to, but I really needed to sit down. So I said politely to the man next to me 'excuse me, would you mind giving me a seat? I'm pregnant and feeling a bit faint'. He completely ignored me, so I insisted, and he eventually gave me the seat. I was only going one stop, so he was only out of the seat for 10 minutes. I thanked him profusely when I got off, and said I was really sorry I'd forced him out of the seat, and he didn't say a word in reply. Then some twat on the other side of the train shouted 'You can have your seat back now, mate' and the whole carriage started laughing. As I got off the train shamefacedly. . Now I just feel like I was being a melodramatic nob, and worried in case he was disabled or something (though if he was he could have said...)

When I was last pregnant I got used to politely asking people for seats, but that was when I LOOKED pregnant. I now know it's not acceptable to do it when you don't look pregnant!

Er... littleboxes that has made me fume!!

Why are people such IDIOTS???? Not your fault at all. Think about it, if you had fainted then lots of people would have rushed to help you, that same people that laughed. You actually did feel ill, you weren't just faking it to get a seat.

And there will definitely have been lots of people who didnt laugh and were thinking 'poor lady' but didn't speak up.

Wish I'd been there, I'd have stuck up for you!!!

littleboxes that's awful! What a rude man!! I would definitely have stuck up for you too. I have to get a packed train home every day too and so far there have been seats but still pretty crowded and sometimes I just get the urge to shout at people to 'back off'!
Don't feel put off to ask for a seat if you need to. Maybe you could stick your belly out a bit and pretend you're a bit further along that you are (wink)
