Situation sounds much more positive booty Drop the Butterdish always had me thinking that it was something of the ilk of 'dropping the soap in the showers in a mens prison' So yeah, what does that say about my mind?

silva i have started thinking along those lines now I might be getting a proper job next year again. Start back in March and get diffed the following month so there would be an 18 month gap. (pretty sure TB would be horrified if he knew that was what I was thinking) Not to mention I will have to have worked there 6 months for them to owe me ML or something like that. Or that it's as easy as that. All these butterdishers lulling us into a false sense of security.

Rocket it made going back to work just oh so slightly less painful knowing I was TTC again... Hideous feeling going back after #2 though

Glad the sooty went well Owlie and that things are moving in the right direction. At this rate the Owlet might arrive bang on time! Which scarily would move me to the top of the list, so maybe I should be encouraging tardiness on Owlet's part.... (because clearly that will have any bearing at all on when mine arrives)

Not exactly butterdish for our second diffment, but it did happen in less than quarter of the time of the first. We were extremely focussed and desperate serious about it though.

All sounds good for the HB, Owlie. I think you won't be long now. How was your BP?

All this talk of baybee's is making my hormones all strange. Surely is not possible to be broody with an 11 day old. Is just silly hormones. Don't feel like that can have been my last pregnancy though. But I should think another 2-3 year gap will do us. Don't know how MrG will feel about that. But IBaby is being very cooperative in generally being very well behaved and not putting him off. MiniG meanwhile is attempting to do the opposite

Wonderful, wonderful news, MrsFC. Sorry, will have to get used to your new name though I do like it muchly.

Nice to hear tales of quick wins after c-section. Alps advised to wait 6 months eh? That was going to be one of my questions at 8 week check up next week. Will still check, but at least you've given me an idea of when its "allowed"

Wol Glad the sooty wasn't too painful, hope it gets things moving along.

laurie It really does seem to vary, I've seen on mn that others have been told to wait 12 months, however yours was a planned cs so it's not as if they had to dive in with rusty tools.

MrsFC I've seen on the childbirth section (within the last 2 months) a woman who's just had her FIFTH section and all healthy ones.

I think okie's on to something, I think Gary Barlow made MrsFC's ovaries pop!

GG I've heard other people say the same thing; I am guessing it's definitely the hormones

BP is 106/69 when I do it and 152/98 when they do it. I've started doing it on two different BP measuring devices just to prove I am not making it up. Got another MW appt today to Review The Plan. There is no plan; I'm sitting tight until Owlet decides he's ready to appear unless I suddenly show signs of PE in which case I'm in that hossie faster than a whippet.

Nowt has happened overnight but am having epic branstons and general discomfort. Have not wanted to do any mad cleaning though so suspect we'll be waiting a while longer.

Occers dear, when is your check for upside-downness? Must be coming up in the next week, am I right?

Gary Barlow is clearly responsible for all the butterdish action (and yes rocket I also thought of soap and prison showers, disgraceful). Is someone going to write to him to complain? Should we tell the Daily Fail?

owlie Dumb question perhaps being as you're a medic and you'd have already spotted it - but are they using the right size cuff?

Tis a good question Pone (am not a medic though) - but yes I think they are, I think I just have a fantastic fight or flight response to doctors

Hmmm, maybe I will mop the kitchen floor. Maybe that will set things off.

I sympathise. :( When they were monitoring me they'd strap the damned electrical machine on and leave me for 30 mins +. The first reading would be high but OK, then they'd just get higher and higher and higher! And I'd just be lying thre thinking "don't panic, don't panic" whilst the fecking thing would start beeping because it was too high.

Whoop whoop! Does FC actually stand for 'Fertile Caaah'?! Well done that ESH! Bloody brilliant news and proper Beshpiration for everyone else.

Owly, am sending you lucky HB vibes, my lovely xxxx

I want another baybee... when T is gurgling with joy, cuddling me or fast asleep. Not so much when he's screech-mental or vomming inside my bra (he seems to manage it with bizarre regularity). I am a physical wreck! Having a baby as a 38 yr old CFS sufferer was not clever, but I'm soooooooo glad he's mine :) The look of joy in his little eyes when he wakes from a nap and I am there is the most precious thing in the world. Talking of which...

Score, Sounds like MrT (although vey, vey lovely) is what the Sears call a High Needs baby. I had one with MiniG. Is very tough but just keep reciting the mantra, "this too shall pass" and before you know it you'll be worrying about something else. But worth bearing in mind that everyone i know who had had a tough first baby seems to get an easier second. Just in case you were tempted...

Epic BH's sound good, Owlie. Maybe try a walk today? Not too hot at least.

I don't think he's High Needs, more that I'm Low Health, IYKWIM! I read the things that classify a baby as HN and they're not him (although he's currently going through a stage of needing to cling onto me or see my face no matter what he's doing, which is pretty exhausting). On the other hand, he goes to sleep at night for 6-8 hours, no probs, so I guess that's my reward? I think someone younger and/or healthier would find him an 'easy' baby. Know what his favourite game is? Pulling himself up to standing! Yep, last weekend, he was laid down grasping my fingers with his fists and just did it! He wants to do it all the time; all we have to do is provide counterbalance and not let him topple (this is not us making him do it, btw). Also, I attend to his every whim, so is prolly a case of 'rod for own back' :)

owlie just wanted to say I went into labour the day of my second sweep. I had it about 2pm, then walked up and down the entire stairwell of the hospital (down is especially effective apparently), then had massive steak and red wine, then went to bed and hey presto!

you know how I said I don't feel sick? I lied, feel sick.

Countdown to 12 weeks and another month of feeling shite.

honey With any luck it'll pass soon. I was pretty miserable from 5.5 weeks to 9, but touch wood been pretty happy since then! :) If it's bad though, get thyself to the docs for the magic cyclizine. I fear I'm starting to show. :(

I'm looking forward to showing! I've just eaten half a bag of jelly babies and a lemon lipton ice tea. I feel marginally better. :)

Still a bit awkward with work. Looks like I'll be signing the contract on the 17th - and a bit nervous about bursting out of normal work clothes by then - but not sure I should rock up in maternity. Obviously still haven't told work but think I really ought to do so within the next month.

Ooh, I luff the lipton iced tea. Especially the peach one.

Moo that is v. encouraging as I have second one on Monday. I shall try out the stairs plan too.

I know this is whingey given what others in here have been through but I am terribly depressed about all of it and hate the medical people for ruining this tiny window of happy excitedness before he turns up that I have been waiting for the whole fucking miserable anxious pregnancy and now do not get to have. I just wanted 5 joyous minutes of actually looking forward to it. That is all I wanted. :( Pliz someone chloroform me until it is all over and the baybee has arrived.

Pone - linen is the way forwards. Very, very floaty linen.

Scorps I defy anyone not to attend to his every whim due to his Utter Gorgeousness. With the exception of your mental inlaws, obviously.

oh Owlie, I hope it is all OK.

twittwooshoes I too hope it all turns out ok. It's shitty that you feel it's been ruined for you, but please try not to focus on it too much. My birth all went tits up when it was looking perfect right til the 11th hr and I was a bit peed off about it right afterwards (I probably clung on to my peed-off-ness longer than was strictly necessary or healthy) . But now it's a distant memory, Sprout makes all the trials and tribulations worth while with just one smile and owlet* will too, whatever way he gets here. I know its easy for me to say from t'other side but please believe that once he is here, you really will not care.

*so yours will go t'other way in a fingers up to the medical peeps way

score I don't think rods exist at this age. We also attend to Sprouts every whim and as a result have an extremely contented baby. How that could be a 'rod' I don't know. Hope you start to feel better in yourself soon, here's to more 'spoiling' our little darlings!

Come on owlet time to get out of there!

Owlie wishing you all the best. It sounds like you've had a shit time of it recently so hope it goes how you want it to. I'm sure meeting the owlet will more than make up for the rest of it. Can't wait to hear news from you!

Well I'm still diffed. Am taking it one day at a time. And I have bagsied myself an appointment with a consultant at 6+4. Hopefully that won't be too late if there is anything can be done. I need to have a second blood test in the meantime to see if I have APA or not. One positive test is not enough for them to crack out the heavy drucks. This is what happens when you get yourself diffed in the middle of your investigations. My GP wanted me just to book an appointment with a midwife. I was having none of that! last time I listened to all the breastfeeding/home birth/blah blah blah that all concerned having a real live baby and it was pointless. So I have put my foot down and got my own way this time. (secretly I just wanted a good dildocamming sesh.....)

Well done on the putting the foot down kat - clearly Owlie is leading the way for ESHes being assertive with medics at the mo.

Sorry to hear it's getting to you Owlie, tis crap. I hope Owlet gets a move on, and that all this soon seems like the distant past and insignificant compared to the wonder of having a real life baby.

Random question for the day - what do Braxton Hicks feel like? It dawned on me last night (being a bit slow on the uptake) that some of the changes in my bump may be BHs rather than just shifts in the baby's position, but I have no idea how I'd tell.

Good luck, Kat. Are you taking low dose aspirin? I did until about 20 weeks I think. If nothing else made me feel proactive. When will you get the APA results?

Owlet time for you to stop messing about and come out of your Mummy, sunshine. Hope you're ok, Owlie - as you know my plans all got a bit smashed to smithereens but still had a good birth. Hope you manage a good experience regardless. And chances are once Owlet is out safely you won't care that much about the method.

Having a lovely cuddle with my two babies. MiniG watching Fireman Sam snuggled into me and BabyI asleep on my chest. Feel very happy
