Morning!!! This thread moves so fast!!! I'm genuinely so not worried what I have?! Either would be just lovely!! Whatever it is I'll be stood at the sidelines watching them play sport or riding!! So long as its healthy I'm just so not worried!! I really thought I'd have a preference but I'm still in shock I actually got pregnant!!

Good luck today Horsey

Sniff sniff :( been sick again this morning. FGS. Its like being in the 1st trimester all over again.

To make matters worse, I have niggly pains in my right side, just above my groin. Fabulous. Gonna do a urine dipstick next time I need the loo might take a while not keeping any liquids in. Tut.

Supposed to be going out for lunch with DP. We never get any time together just the 2 of us these days. Just once can't something be straightforward!

Hope it goes well today horsey and that you get some lovely piccies!

detective :( hope it's just a minor glitch and you feel fine again soon.

I felt proper kicks for the first time last night :)

Good luck for today, horsey and sorry to hear that your still being sick detective hopefully it wont last for too long. I've been having pains today as well, lower abdominal discomfort rather than pains actually. It feels better when I lie down. But can't do that all day, wish I could.

Mmm, did I say that I thought I had a bad day on Monday? I take it back. Have just spent most of the last 2 days in paediatrics with DS who has a chest infection and has had breathing difficulties. Has been horrendous. Luckily he is much better now but is on asthma medication, steroids and antibiotics. They don't diagnose asthma until 2 or 3 (DS is 15 months) but it does look like a possibility given our family history and his symptoms.

I remember writing that it might be some comfort that chunky's niece may grow out of her asthma when she is older. I take it back, it is no comfort at all when you are watching a child struggling to breathe.

I don't know about anyone else but I am getting so tearful these days. My eyes well up at the slightest thing and being in paediatric A&E didn't help at all, seeing all of the brave but poorly / injured children made my eyes sting.

I've not noticed an increase in discharge (thankfully) but I have developed chloasma on my face. Right in the middle of my forehead and also above my top lip, just like a moustache. Nice.

I'll try and add myself to the stats page now, have not been able to do it on my phone but am on my pc now so it may work

Hope your DS gets better soon rowing

I weighed myself this morning and I've lost over 4lbs in about a week. shit. that can't be normal can it?!

Rowing hope he's ok!!

Detective feel better soon.

Apple have you spoken to the mw?

Thanks for all the good lucks!! 4 hours hehehe

Hi all,
Wow this thread moves so fast. It's good to hear everyones latest. I can feel the little baby wriggling most evenings now, its great. I went to the cinema to watch 'what to expect when you are expceting' last night and it was really load and it made the baby wriggle loads!

My DH is supposed to be organising our summer holiday this year and he just doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with it, as if it's too stressful for him to even consider. I have organised our holidays for the last four years so I was hoping he would sort something this year. Usually I book travel and accommodation arrangements myself but between the two of us we're just too busy and stressed so I was thinking we should book a package holiday instead. This might sound weird but I've never done it and I'm quite intimidated at the idea of going into a travel agents in case we don't like any of the holidays or can't afford it. Can anyone recommend a good place to go, whether high street or online? I'm worried that we'll end up not having a holiday this year otherwise and I'm sure it will be trickier once the baby is born.

Stuntnun - most of our holidays have been package.
I tend to have a scan around online, then go to a stre see if they better it, and recheck online before booking.
A good place to look online for deals is travelzoo, they look through lots of websites and put the best deals on there site and email you a top20 deals email every week.
We've booked in store through first choice (our honeymoon) but they only do all inclusive now. Last year we used cooperative travel, I was hesitant because we just wanted something not too expensive, we didn't mind where, we just had a couple of weeks we could fit it in to. I thought it was a big ask but the agent was really good and helpful and found us a really good deal that was £200 more elsewhere online.

Where are you wanting to go as some agents cover different areas?

apple I've also started losing a bit of weight. Don't think it's anything to worry about - I seemed to put on a HUGE amount in the first trimester.

Anyone else not feeling all too pregnant anymore? I'm only feeling the tiniest wee flutters - probably nothing but telling myself it's baby moving(!) - and sickness has finally gone tries not to tempt fate. Bar my new found complete lack of interest in sex (someone tell me this is normal?!) I feel exactly like I did 6 months ago, pre any thoughts of pregnancy, let alone being 16 weeks!

I'm not very well travelled so I don't care where I go as long as there's nice weather and we can keep the kids occupied and not have to stress out feeling that we have to see sights every day.

stuntnun we've used the co op travel before and found they've got us quite a good deal and kept in our price range and not tried to push us to spend more, if you go there they'll give you a summary of what's included, flight times, hotel that you could always take to another travel agent saying this is what you want but can they give you a better deal or search yourself online :)

Posted on both but another boy :)

Going to have a whinge, so sorry but need to get it off my chest. I don't do it to get sympathy (although always gratefully received) but am fed up with sharing with the same limited people in RL & whilst I don't think I'm being unreasonable but it can't hurt to check... :)

My FIL spent ALL day on Tues slagging off EVERYTHING about our new house. I mean EVERYTHING. He hasn't said 1 nice thing to me about it, and made me cry (he knows he did) whilst doing this and HASN'T APOLOGISED at all. Not even a half-arsed one. Nothing. This, I think, is bad enough, although appreciate everyone is entitled to an opinion, but for 2 additional contexts;

1. this was the same man that told me to 'calm down' and lectured me about getting cross, how it affects me, baby, DD etc because I expressed frustration at the money-grabbing bastards at BT. What does he think making me cry dies??!!
2. his own relative did EXACTLY the same to him and made his wife/my MIL cry when they bought their current family home, which was their first home together!!!

DH is trying to deal with it and I'm trying to ignore it as much as possible, but I really, really really want to scream at him "You ignorant, arrogant, hypocritical bastard!!! It's a lovely house, in an ideal location and was as much as we could afford. It might not be perfect, or even pretty yet, but in a few years, with a bit of TLC, it will be, but just now, its OURS and you can fuck right off with your negative shite". But I can't because we're staying with them at the mo

Wish we could move in there now but that wouldn't be sensible or practical :( so I have to suck it up!!!

Keep smiling. My fil is just a nightmare. Now mil has passed away he's like eyore!! I just want to shake him!!

Dh wants him to come on holiday with us. I've said he choses which one of us he goes away with!!!! I would kill him. Hes the same with us, same with my sil etc.

I just smile, occasionally walk out the house and just think, well at least his son is nothing like him!!

horsey yay! A boy! Congratulations!

chunky what an idiot he is (understatement) - don't let him spoil your excitement. He doesn't have to live there - it's your house and as long as you both like it, then that is all that matters. Bet it is lovely and he is just a bit put out that you have managed to find and purchase somewhere that you love - all without requiring his involvement!!! Congratulations on your new house - hope you and your family are very happy there x

horseylady Congrats :)

MissMummy on a day when my hips don't ache & baby doesn't fidget, I don't feel pregnant at all!! I think its natural to worry regardless - I worry that I'm getting too big, then when I put on some post-DD's birth size 12 jeans (not maternity ones) & they fit, I worry that I'm too small!!! And the sex thing, gone off it completely too.

Congratulations Horsey :)

chunky just try and smile and say well were happy and ignor x

Sorry to hear that Chunky. Shame that you can choose your partner but you can't choose his family. I'm sure he's used to your FIL's ways and just puts up with it whereas it really gets to you.
