Shagged Out Viroids Volume 4. Over here!!

[nickelbabe]

ooops, got a bit carried away there.....

sign in everyone!
let's hope we get some new graduates on here too!

I didn't find out the sex with the boys but am feeling tempted to this time. People seem to be negative about subsequent boys and assume I'll be desperate for a girl so id like to be able to say for example "we are having a boy and we are thrilled! " just going to have some bread and butter pudding to try and tempt my sweet tooth back

My girls were the only girls in this generation of my family, among 6 boys - but in the last 18 months it's evened out with both my sisters having girls and my brother's GF having twin girls six weeks ago. We'd sort of like a boy, as that'd be new for both OH and I. But then we both know girls! We have no 'feeling' about what we're having.

Exactly what teddy said!
I'd be more than happy with a 3rd girl, at the mo DH always refers to us as his girls and I can't imagine having a boy but that's what everyone will presume I want! When really as long as I have happy healthy kids I'm happy!

Oh and chocolate spread on toast is about the only sweet thing I enjoy!

The only kind of a feeling I had before was that I found it really easy to pick boys names and each time by 12 weeks we'd decided if its a boys it will be called ....... And right up until the end of each pregnancy we just couldn't choose girls names. Nothing ever felt right. Good job it was boys both times! It must be amazing to have twins in the family. 20 weeks seem so far away though a lot of waiting before we will know.

Hi crowette! I remember you! Congratulations on the BFP :)

We'll be finding out the sex. We did with DD too, part of me would like the surprise but I think realistically I'm way too impatient to even consider it! We also don't have any idea what we are having. But there were 3 magpies in the backgarden yesterday The only problem with having a boy would be we can't agree on a single name. We already have a couple of girls names.

Have booked in to see the midwife on Wednesday. It's all getting quite real! I swear I keep feeling kicks though. I should only be... 5-6 weeks by my calculations (assuming that half a day of spotting was a period - otherwise it could be anywhere up to 15 weeks!)

Unhealthy food is also off the agenda for me. Can't tolerate the idea of eating something "full and rich", including chocolate and cake For the past week, I've literally eaten pasta, salad and fruit. I've had to start experimenting with pasta to make sure I'm still getting a bit of meat and dairy etc., to see what will sit and what makes me feel nauseous. Still no actually vomiting yet though!

babylann good luck when you see the midwife. It'll be a bit of shock if you are further along than expected!

I spent yesterday feel g really grotty. I couldn't eat I felt so sick. Thankfully DH let me spend most of the day in bed watching tv!

Ah that's good. Usually dp is good with me when I'm ill or tired too, but he just wouldn't get out of bed with dd this morning even though I barely slept at all last night.

I finally got out of bed having a bit of a tantrum and he finally got up. Too late then though, I'm shattered now :( Really struggling with sleep and boobs are killing me.

I've been in bed all day, started being sick at 3am and this morning felt all hot/cold and achy, DH been quite good, the girls have ran in a few times but usually with sweets or cuddles to make me better! I usually work today so it's his day with them anyway! Here's to us all having a good nights sleep and no nausea!

Oh wow, just wanted to post to say hooge congrats to crow and babylann (speed reading, hope I have the right end of the stick!) And wow to miffles princess watermelon being so far along!.

Hello to other JSing grads too although I don't know you so well. .

Not much happening here. Had my HSG which seems to have given me an odd cycle. Now praying it has the pro-fertility impact it has the reputation for; and if not then its private IVF for us .

Will keep an eye on this thread to follow my buddies of old .

Fingers crossed Nelly!!!!

I'm now 8+2 - fingers crossed!! Most of the time I feel sick and tired, and on the days I feel fine I wish I feel 'pregnant'! On Saturday I spent most of the day on the sofa. I had a 3 hour nap this afternoon and woke up feeling icky and bleurgh.

I've asked my bosses to move me to a different dept at work, as I'm getting knackered with all the physical work and it's also worrying me I'm an old bird, and I want to be taking it easy! So I'll probably end up on checkouts which I hate, but hey ho, at least I get to sit down and not lug trays of fruit and veg and have to sort out the waste (goodbye 100s of broken eggs, off chicken and leaking yogurt pots!!)

A week tomorrow OH and doing our legal preliminaries at the registry office for our wedding, so I had to go to the courts today to get his decree absolute as he'd thrown his away ... £40 for them to take 3 min to search it on the system, print it and stamp it!!

How is everyone else?

Feeling shit :( Sickly, achey, ridiculously painful boobs, overly hormonal and emotional, not sleeping, tired, "guilt" dreams which make me wake up in the worst possible mood.

Argh I hate trimester 1!

I'm glad to hear from you Nelly. I was wondering whether you'd pop back to the JSing page at all, I still lurk there to see if you or Josie have any updates. Will you be coming here properly when you get a BFP?

Sounds like a good idea, crowette. I never did that in the job I had with DD (carrying around heavy parcels) because I was temp and knew they'd get rid of me sooner... definitely wasn't good. And then they got rid of me like 2 weeks later anyway.

I was doing a similar job when pregnant with DD1, but that was 19 years ago, I was 21, no threat of miscarriage and much more blase I suppose!

I'm lucky that my bosses are understanding, they know about the MCs and told me I have to look after number one :)

OH has been home, and promptly dispatched to the shop to get electricity, large pot noodle and a tub of Ben and Jerry's

Oh I love ben and jerrys the choc fudge brownie one! I'm right off sweet stuff still though. The nauseous feelings are getting worse. Now I'm wretching in the mornings, so ladylike! It seems to come and go in waves throughout the day too, grim. I told my mum today which was good. She was pleased of course not sure my folks don't think we are a bit mad for wanting more then 2 kids. Still seems a bit weird telling your parents. The connotation that they know you've been having lots of sex anyway glad they know. Can't wait to tell my boys. We went to friends at the weekend who has a 4 month old and my eldest was wondering round the house saying "why can't we have a baby?"

I had the Vermonster one, but it didn't taste as nice as it usually does I had a junk day yesterday - cheeseburger puff for brunch (ooooh it was lovely, and thankfully it means I have to go into a particular town to get it, one I don't usually have cause to visit, so I won't 'have' to buy one everyday ) two croissants after that, was I was still hungry. Then the pot noodle and Ben and Jerry's. Will try to be healthy today!

I wretch when I clean my teeth now, my gag reflex is super sensitive! I wretch when washing up, scrapping food off plates, sorting the waste at work, thinking/talking about wretching (was wretching down the phone to my friend when I was telling her about it being one of my symptoms!).

Am feeling ok today, so far. Slept well, got work at midday though - boo!

Oh, and the cat is being extra clingy to me. She's lying right next to me now, when I go to bed she follows and will sleep either right next to me or on my chest or hips.

Hi all! Hope everyone is feeling not too sick and wretching too much! I'm still feeling quite grotty but a little better than at the weekend. However my new pregnancy symptom is very greasy hair! Gross!

Morning!

Horrid horrid evening last night! A facebook friend has announced her pregnancy, she is due at the same time as me, but had her first midwife appointment yesterday and had a scan, so she posted her scan picture ... my stupid part of my brain started to think 'oh no, the universe won't let us BOTH be pregnant at the same time, she's seen her baby, I've not seen mine so it's all going to go wrong for me' I feel envious that she can be confident enough to share her news publicly, and I can't. I was getting very very mild cramping/stretching twinges last night and thought the worst, so went to bed so I wouldn't dwell on it. I woke up during the night and my boobs felt completely normal, and they also did when I got up this morning - but after standing around in just my dressing gown and no bra, they've started to feel heavy again (I should know this pattern by now, but it still catches me out).

I told OH my feelings about the universe not letting me have a healthy pregnancy just because a facebook friend (not even a close friend) is due the exact same day as me, and he laughed and said I was so sweet and lovely, but completely daft! I do feel a bit silly this morning.

Anyway, the good news is that from Sunday I'll be on checkouts at work ... it means I get a lie in on Sundays as I start at 10am rather than 7am :) They have to speak to my supervisor and manager to confirm my Sunday start, but HR and checkouts have no problem. My supervisor will just have to find someone else to do my shifts .... but then the colleague I work with is on holiday and I can see them panicking at the thought of two newbies doing a Sunday, as they won't know the procedure, hmmm.

I'm noticing a pattern with my nausea and tiredness, it seems to hit after lunchtime ... which is when I start work on weekdays after about 2.30pm I feel better.

Hope everyone is well!!

Glad you're feeling a bit better teddy.

crowette I'm sorry that's how you reacted to your friends' news. Obviously you know it doesn't work that way, I know when I was having DD three other friends were pregnant at loosely the same time, and nothing happened to any of us. My symptoms keep coming and going too, and my boobs seem to get heavier and heavier by the second if I'm not wearing a bra, and sometimes even when I am!

Congratulations on the better working hours :)

First midwife appointment today, wish me luck, I'm panicking - especially as I am now taking DD with me as my mum cancelled babysitting with a migraine.

Managed to convince DD to play in her room for a little while so I could shower and get ready efficiently. But she's playing so happily I thought I'd sneak into my room and eat chocolate and browse the internet for bump bands - I've heard they're good for helping with or even preventing SPD, which I had last time so am possibly at higher risk of getting this time.

Ah the things we put ourselves through

Yeah, I know it doesn't work like that, but try telling my stupid hormonal brain that I've been convinced that I'm no longer pregnant today, total lack of symptoms. My mind really is playing silly buggers, as is my body Boobs are a little bit tender in the last hour. I have no other reason to think it's all over, just paranoia. Grrrr.

I've had to loop a hairband to the buttons on my work trousers, as they're getting too tight around the middle.

Been told I have to start new dept on Monday instead of Sunday, as they have no one to cover for me, nor do they have anyone to cover for my colleague who is on holiday either, so I could be working alone. Hmmm. Not. Going. To. Happen.

Hope everyone else is well :)

How was the midwife baby ?

It was quite good. She's nice, the best midwife I've had so far. The only problem is she told me I'll be having a vbac. Otherwise it was great. I have a dating scan booked for tuesday as due to dates I could be anywhere between 6 - 14 weeks :) Can't wait!

How is everyone else? Nauseous and gone off food again :(

Glad the midwife appointment went well Baby I'm sooooo envious of those getting scans - I'm tempted to call the EPU and ask for one

All ok here - sore boobs have returned (hurrah!) OH had to empty the bin in the kitchen for me last night, as I could smell it from the bedroom (he couldn't smell it at all) and it didn't even have much in it. Nose is stuffy this morning, but other than that, I feel fine! Just had some malt loaf and grapes for brekkie and about to get ready for work - boo!

Glad all went well baby and that you are feeling symptoms again crow

I had my worst day yet yesterday. I had a migraine and that tipped me over the edge to actually being sick. I felt really shaky and weak. Hardly managed food all day. It was awful. Feeling a touch better today but exhausted. Think I can feel a headache returning too.

My scan is Tuesday as well baby I should be 12+3, probably due new years eve!

Tired take some paracetamol quick before it has chance to take hold, I've held off too many times and regretted it. Sometimes mine are caffeine related and I need a cup of tea or chocolate!

Glad ur feeling more positive crow these early waiting weeks are a nightmare.

After the sickness bug over the wkend (DD1 came down with it Monday) I now have a stinking cold! I'm blaming the warm but v damp weather (gets blamed for everything!)

I did what you suggested livismum thanks. The headache is still niggling. I feel really weak and like I am having palpitations. I hope this isn't how it's going to be for the next few weeks. I'm 8+3 so there's away to go til the magic 12 (or 14 ) when sickness goes away. I am functioning at such a basic level. My house is a tip and my children are desperate for me to be better from the "flu"!
