Thanks Puppy, I've posted congrats

Thanks for info Norms!

Glad everything is okay Puppy.

Been to drs today to get Gavisgon as indegestion has already kicked in. This happened last time. I had just stopped throwing up when the indegestion began!

Saw freinds new baby yesterday which I found really hard (my baby should have been due in two weeks but I mc'ed). Cried lots and then had dh saying I should be fine as now pg. I went balistic. Today he seemed to be a bit nicer.

Glad all the scans so far are going well. I wpon't hear the heartbeat for another two weeks when I will be 16 weeks. Unfortunately it is on the day the baby should have been due and had horrid dream last night that this one died too so not much sleep was had after that.

Sorry for being depressive but just feel that way at the mo.

Awwww benjamins mum It's difficult isn't it, my 'due date' is coming up soon may 10th, I keep thinking I should have a big bump now, I m/c in early sept. I'm sure you will hear your LO heart beat

I have now popped the other scan pics up, one of them you can count the babies toes its a really fab pic, they are on the same link as before. I would be lovely to see some of your scan pics.

benjaminsmum hope you're feeliong better soon that must be hard +++++

Puppy, how adotable is that second picture? all snuggly and cute. Will try to upload mine later.

ADORABLE!

hi everyone, feeling a little bit better now but so tired still. had sad news today about my sister. she has been trying for a baby for over a year now. she started fertility treatment to make her ov, she released 4 eggs and they told her she couldn't get pg from that many. however she did and today she went for the scan, there was only one baby but the sac was the wrong shape and although there was a heartbeat they aren't holding out much hope. they kept asking again and again had she been bleeding at all and they're going to scan next week to check the size of the baby to see whether it is growing. i'm so sad for her, there was a month between us and it would have been lovely. i was upset at the thought of losing my baby as i've already had a mc and to see her have a baby but it's the opposite way around and this is so horrible. she really doesn't deserve this to be happening to her. she was very withdrawn when trying for a baby, then she became her old self when she got the bfp and now i'm worried she could get really withdrawn again. life is so unfair.

Puppy, They are wonderful pictures. I'm so pleased for you that everything is ok . Did they say if the low lying placenta would cause problems for delivery or is too early to tell?

Pol, what do you mean by sneazing probs? I'm having a few but I wanted to know if we mean the same probs

Benjaminsmum, it must be really really hard for you. Especially with pg hormones racing around. Men are so insensitive sometimes.

kreamkrackers, your poor sister. It must be really hard for her to cope with

Have spent the last hour and a half sobbing for no particular reason. Feel very hormonal today. Hope every one else is ok xx

Compo, I thought I was turning the corner but oh no not yet :( Like you have to eat regularly & the evenings are definitely the worst for me. I get home & DH says, so are you just going to lie on the sofa again & watch crap on TV? Would you like to do something else? Err..yes, I'd love to do the housework whilst heaving into a bucket!! Arrghhh I've also started getting really hot again, driving everyone at work mad as insist on the windows being opened whilst others pump up the heating to 25 degrees.....I can't help it!!!!

I don't know whether it was a mad hormonal moment but last week I had my hair all chopped off! We're talking a good 5-6 inches in a 20 minute frenzy. The hairdresser tried to talk me out of it but I just yelled "GET RID OF IT NOW"....I'm glad he saw the funny side..:o

cori -you sound just like me!! My dh is driving me mad at the moment!
Sorry to hear that you've been feelign down Benjaminsmum and sorry abiut your sister Kreamkrackers - hopefully things might still be okay

calvemjoe - YES those sorts of sneezing probs..... driving me mad, guess they are right when they say do your pelvic floors... lol

[whispers] Pol, I just cross my legs and stand still when I sneeze. Doesn't work all the time but does reduce those 'little accidents'

Lol calvemjoe I usually doo too except unexpectedly had a sneezing fit today... Think i'm gonna become a tenna mum...
the joys of this baby lark!

morning everyone!
hope evryone's ok?
I am on an emergency mission in to town today to buy bra's.
My boobs have taken on a alife of their own. I thought my 34E bra's would be ample, but apprantly not....so got to get measured. Wih m luch I could come out of M&S with some steel re-inforced construction....

benjaminsmum and kreamkrackers - lots of hugs for you both and your sister KK, it msut be a really tough time and just tyrying to stay positive for is difficult enough!

Calvemjoe - hormones! tell me about hormones! Stupidly watched a show about Great Dane dogs being rehomed and one being in a shelter for 7 months because it was deaf and they had to teach it sign language - i was bawling within about two minutes luckily DH was late at work and not there to witness it...

Mabel1973 are M&S any good (do they still look nice?) as I'm in need and could do with some advice on where to go.

Have a great day everyone and remember it's the weekend tomorrow!

Hi all.
at size 8 jeans. Hmpphh I *was an 8 before xmas but put on 1/2 stone and went to a size 10. Never lost before I got pg. In baggy size 12 hipsters (very comfy under bump) and a apir of top shop maternity ones size 10. If I don't jack in the junk though, I'll be a size 24 in no time

How's everyone?
Great pic puppy. I'll see if i can upload my last one (9wks).

Got a pic up of my 9 wk scan. Can't do links though (crappy keyboard has no backslash).
It's on Member profiles: HellKat's Beanie

Morinng all ladies.

Lysettes - totally with you on not being able to watch certain programmes due to risk of sobbing. Basically anything with an animal in will set me off. Even walking past a homeless man sat begging with a dog was enough to raise a lump in my throat.

That's a beautiful piccy Hellkat.
Only 6 days till I get to meet mine.

Hormones were ridiculous yesterday. Was watching ER and a lady died of terminal cancer and she had to say goodbye to her children and in my stupid hormonal head I had to compose exactly what I would say to ds if I was in her position. Obviously you can't put into words how much your children mean to you and I stressed over it for hours whilst sobbing my heart out. Even rang dh at work and pulled him out of a meeting to promise me that if I died he would tell my baby boy every day that mummy was watching over him. Ds was in bed for most of this and when he woke up (bless his little 23 month old heart) He said 'mummy sad' and kissed and cuddled me and wiped away my tears, which obviously made me sob twice as hard. It really bothered me that I couldn't get the words right, wasn't even worrying about dying or anything just needed to compose my speech

Morning ladies!

Great news puppy! Love the beanie piccies although I'm not sure I have the technology to get mine online. They all look so georgeous and I think its seeing the tiny fingers and toes that gets me!

{{hugs}}} to all the hormonal surges and emotional bits - being pg raises such issues of vulnerability etc. I even had a weird dream about losing a cat I once had and having a motorbike stolen... think issues of loss and my independence are coming up. Thank goodness I like looking at my dreams - they tell me so much about my inner goings on

Coriander,

Sorry to hear that there's been no magic relief of sickness for you yet.

I Could be you with the lying on the sofa from 8pm onwards, not even interested in T.V. though, just dozing off. My dh is rapidly pi55ing me off with his rudeness about how "we are not coping as a family".

I get ds up in the morning, breakfasted, washed and dressed, feed the cat then we play for an hour or so then I take ds to nursery on the way to work, work a 6 hour day, pick ds up on the way home, play/watch cbeebies together and have supper, do bathtime and bedtime, tidy the bathroom and them grab some toast or something light before I get settled on the sofa. Dh comes home well after 8pm sometimes quite late and no, I don't cook him an evening meal because I have a hot meal at lunchtime if I can, vomitting permitting. I can not cope with cooking a hot evening meal for him at a moments notice even before I was ill with hg as he drives an hour to get home, if he called me before he set off I might oblige as I'd have some idea when he'd be home but I ceased bothering when he couldn't be bothered to let me know he was setting off.

Major moan here but I don't think I am lazy and I hate him inferring that I am taking the pi55 by lying on the sofa and not moving when he gets home.

I'm not doing housework at the moment but he didn't agree with having a cleaning lady when we did have one and so I didn't replace her thinking he'd do his share not just moan at me for not doing it.

Sorry, I'm really upset and he is stressed about his job so we are not on the best of terms at the moment.

Oh dear Norms, seems like you need to sit your DH down and have a chat. Sometimes men just don't get it unless they have spelt out to them!
Its bad enough feeling crap in the evenings without feeling guilty at the same time!

Normsnockers your dp needs to be a bit more understanding, hope he chills out soon. I hope you feel a bit better soon too, must be awful++

kk, sad news about your sister+

CalvemJoe, i cried at E.R too!

DD1 got a Headmasters certificate this morning for being "a joy to have in the classroonm every day" (she's 5) and i nearly cried there too!!

Norms you must be in a state! {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} sitting your DH down and talking to him will really help. Even if you end up in tears, he will see how his behaviour is making you feel. Without pg hormones his being stressed at work might not affect you so much but now he needs to realise how you are feeling.
I have been trying to cook a batch of chilli or curry or similar so it lasts and can be defrosted quickly, and doesn't require any effort on my part
Chin up! It's the weekend nearly...

hiya

Hellkat love your beanie pic, its really clear.

Awww norms , i agree with bella and lysettes ith sitting him down and have a good talk, I know what you mean about the meals my dh does not have a time he is home everyday so I make ds and mindees tea at 4.30 and save some for him to reheat himself, not everyday though as its hard.

KK sorry to hear of the tough time your sister is going through

Angeliz thats fab bet your dd1 is really proud

Benjaminsmum I hope you are feeling better today

just got back from booking in appointment and the midwife remembered me from last time which was nice, bp fine, heard lo heart beat just to think about having the triple test done which she mentioned will discuss with dh tonight.

Hey Norms,

You have my sympathy. It really is so very hard for all concerned. I think as men can't possible understand what is happening to us (& sometimes I truely believe that DH thinks I'm making it all up) they feel unnerved, out of control themselves almost. Maybe in some ways they also feel guilty themselves for being the sole cause of our temporary misery?!! Men are never good in a crisis anyhow are they? I'd just like to think that he'd do things without being asked & not to expect much else at present (sex included as he's been moaning he's not had any since we conceived...some 13 weeks ago!!!).

My DH does take the piss about how ( & I quote) he's carrying the deadwood in our house...now I know he doesn't really mean it but nevertheless it bloody hurts & annoys me as I know I've been nothing other than useless recently & I feel our of control which I hate ( & I don't need reminding). The house is out of control, work is just about bearable but I feel my relationship with DD is suffering. Now, this want be forever...will it? Today I'm really low as I feel rotten again & tonight we're supposed to be going over to friends for dinner - I don't want to let them down or DH but whilst I could have faced it better yesterday I'm now sitting here panicking about what they are going to serve up. Arrgggghhhhhhh

One thing is for sure, I'm not having anymore babies after this one :)
