Oh, I plan to get pandered to as much as possible! DH is already looking after me - we're going out for a meal tonight to celebrate. He gives me two kisses as I go to work and asks how his two babies are. Is that or ? I like it for now! He's banning me from my exercise classes though - legs/bums/tums, which I can understand but also badminton. Think that's a little OTT TBH.

Sounds like you've got the beginnings of a plan with the shop - but what about 2 weeks after the birth?!

Had a quick peek over at the grads thread....BB had her twins only a little early, but they were in special care. Oh bless. She seems happy with things and coping. I'm a bit concerned we might have twins, as I doubled my clomid dose this month - may have ovulated twice! Although the chances of nothing for months and months and then 2 fertilized in one go are fairly slim. :)

nickelbabe · 28/10/2011 16:58

it is but we'll forgive you Grin

don't give up your exercise classes - they're very useful for the pregnancy and the birth - but do make sure you tell your teacher (I still went every week, but stopped when I felt tired, or jut generally didn't do too much - anything high energy i missed out, or did the low-energy way)
I have basically given all housework and care of everything to DH. In the first trimester, I was too tired, and made him do everything. In the second trimester I (eventually) felt full of energy and it was great, and I helped out, and this trimester, I just want to sleep (especially at night when don't seem to be able to Hmm

I'm hoping the baby will be 2 weeks late (but I'm not so sure, if it's engaging now, it might be on time)

MIFFLES!!!!!! WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!!! Grin (can you tell I'm happy for you?)

Nickel DD engaged before due date and still managed to wait until just a few hours before I was due to be induced to arrive.

nickelbabe · 29/10/2011 11:12

my book says they can start to engage at 36 weeks, so I'm expecting that. I'm just hoping it means Isbn is the right way down and isn't going to flip again...

PS PPS if you're not sure who the hell was yelling at you so loudly yesterday, I used to be NoMoreChocBiscuits xx

PrincessPoppySeed · 29/10/2011 12:08

Aaahhh!!!! I have seen a Fanjo person around, but didn't realise it was you, NoMore. I felt really bad, cos you were obviously pleased to see me, but I couldn't recall you properly! Now it all makes sense!! Thanks, you made me feel all warm inside! xx

How far are you? I'm 5+4. Am going to see the GP on Monday. What will they do?

nickelbabe · 29/10/2011 13:13

GPs tend not to do anything - mine didn't even want to see me, just got told by the receptionist to book in with the midwife.
That's all the GP will do - tell you to see the MW.

Sorry to confuse you PPS. I had PGP for the full 9 months, so changed to COAachingFanjo. Changed to werefanjo after DD was born and I realised how um, untrimmed I actually was down there. DD was 17 weeks yesterday Grin.

Yep the GP will refer you to the MW.

ConfessionsOfAWereFanjo · 29/10/2011 13:32

PS. Nickel I may not 'visit' very often, but I have this thread on my watch list, so can drop in when anything exciting happens (or you start to get to lonely [hwink])

PrincessPoppySeed · 29/10/2011 13:44

PGP?

PrincessPoppySeed · 29/10/2011 13:45

And congratulations on your DD - wow, time flies!! Hadn't realised it'd taken me so long to catch up!!!

nickelbabe · 29/10/2011 14:03

aw choccy - that's lovely :)

PGP? got to be something painful, right? Confused

Congrats Miffles! Baby2b here Grin Really pleased for you. x

PrincessPoppySeed · 30/10/2011 14:55

Thanks baby2b. Have you had yours? Totally lost track of which viroids are where! Still not quite believing I'm actually pregnant.

ConfessionsOfAWereFanjo · 30/10/2011 21:04

Pelvic Girdle Pain also known as SPD (Symphasis Pubis Disorder), Also known as, 'How did I miss someone kicking me in the fanjo? By f*ck it hurts'

CuriosityCola · 30/10/2011 22:29

My little boy is nearly 10 weeks old and gorgeous Grin

Have you had any morning sickness or other symptoms yet?

nickelbabe · 31/10/2011 10:28

I don't want that, then.

I've just been telling those on the wordgames thread...
Isbn is definitely the right way down, and definitely engaged (I assume not fully, but it's in the gap!).
I was being all paranoid after the bump dropping down last week that it was sideways. Anyway, Junior Chorister's mum is a MW, so I got her to check for me after the service yesterday Blush
she got me on my back in the Tower Room and prodded about - she said its head is engaged, and showed me where to feel for it, and she also said that the spine was on the left, and bum here, and legs over there on the right. Lovely. She said it was in the perfect position for the moment (obv spine forward for the birth we hope), and that it will rotate on its head, but shouldn't come out of position now.

(i mean, i've got my MW appt on tuesday, but have been so worried, that it just couldn't wait till then!

Exciting stuff Nickel! Can just imagine you grabbing a random lady and pressing her hands to your abdomen! At least you chose a MW!!!

Congrats Curiosity - I bet he is gorgeous! What have you named him?

No morning sickness....sore boobs and some cramps still. Oh, and vivid dreams and restless. So tired and not sleeping well. DId others have this?

BamBam21 · 31/10/2011 10:40

Miffles!! (Or Poppy!) So happy to see you over here!Grin Glad you are keeping well too.SmileWine

I am 25+6 now (due 6 Feb), and, like nickel, I have kept well and problem-free so far, except for a horrible virusy thing which has kept me lying low the last few days.

Glad to hear everything is moving in the right direction for you nickel. So exciting that you are so nearly there now!Smile

I'm off to clean the total health hazard that is my bathroom now.Blush I have done nothing for ages as I have felt so crappy, so wish me luck, I'm going in!!Grin

nickelbabe · 31/10/2011 10:46

I didn't grab a random woman! I knew she was a midwife Grin

I am very excited that it's so close, but I am really quite enjoying being pregnant! It's weird - like I've got the cuddles from the baby without the looking after it part. I risk sounding like a soppy sod, but it's quite lovely.

OP posts:
nickelbabe · 31/10/2011 10:47

miff - so tired and not sleeping well... Oh yes, that'll follow all the way through.
Every time I see my midwife, she drills into me that I must rest while I can. So, naps on the settee in the evening, naps at lunchtime (like I can do that when I'm at work!)

OP posts:
nickelbabe · 31/10/2011 10:47

oh no! Bam - mustn't use nasty cleaning chemicals! Make your DP do it!!!

OP posts:
PrincessPoppySeed · 31/10/2011 10:54

BamBam Thanks for the welcome. But I will decline your kind Wine thank you Grin. Am currently being super good - even only allowing myself 2 cups of tea a day. You've still got a little way to go yet then - have you found out if you're having a boy or girl?

Def stay away from nasty chemicals - even I know that one!!

Great - being tired for the next 8 months. Oh, and then a crying baby!! I dreamt last night that Matthew Crawley was in a wheelchair becuase he didn't take his allergy tablets. Hmm (Downton, in case you don't watch it!)

Having said I'm being good - on the day we found out, I thought I'd treat myself to a delicious wholesome soup at lunch. Spicy tomato and chorizo. Yum - but forgot that chorizo is on the black list!! Oops, fail on day one!

BamBam21 · 31/10/2011 11:30

It was alcohol-free Wine poppy (can't decide what to call you yet!)! Well done on not even having much caffeine though. I know it's bad but I can't get along at all without my tea and coffee. I got a really lovely lemon and ginger tea though, so I'm trying to make myself drink that.

It looks like I'm having another boy poppy. The sonographer wasn't sure, but sure enough to put it on my notes! I was really upset at first, as I had dreamed of a wee girl, but feel excited about it all now.Smile Do you think you'll want to find out?

Cleaning chemicals. Hmm. I've been using a Dettol spray, and some bleach down the lav. I feel okay and am just doing short bursts at a time. Maybe I should borrow my mum's steam cleaner as a chemical free alternative. You see, DP is lovely and would do stuff like that (he's even taken over the cat litter, which makes him seriously boak!) but I just feel bad, as I'm a SAHM and don't really do very much with my time other than look after flat, son and cat! It's not like I'm out working every day. I know that sounds daft.Blush
