October 2012 - where we all bury our heads in the sand

[pinpan]

We have been DTD once a week until this week. I did kinda want to but moving in bed is difficult and my hips ache so dh had attention instead. After 15months TTC with several times a week I guess it is a bit of a shock to dh to get so little.

I think baby has had hiccups but not very often.

I think (I hope) i'm avoiding piles just hope labour doesn't find them.

We have only dtd a couple of times since getting our BFP... Df-eeek!! doesn't appear to be too bothered which I'm pleased about.. Ah well, the end is in sight now!! 4.5 wks left for me!! can't wait to find out what flavour my bump is!!

I don't fancy dtd either dp moans about the lack of it every day but I just don't feel like it this time.

Nothing much going on here. Just going to try and pick up the last bits I need.

Kids are back at school next week and I am looking forward to the rest! It's been hard work.

Hope everyone is well and not suffering too much

Well, we dtd last night. Think I was encouraged at the thought that it could bring baby on. Not that I want any thing to happen yet, but I'm bearing it in mind. I wasn't too comfortable afterwards (sorry tmi) Felt as though baby was squished into my back. Baby got it's own back by kicking me (and DS) when DS came into our bed at 4 am.

Working from home today to get a diploma qualification finished before I go on mat leave. Haven't even opened the folder yet.... But I am watching Heir Hunters

My friend and I are going to the Baby Show on Sunday. I'm hoping to pick up some freebies. Although there's nothing I actually need to buy.... I suppose I could treat myself to something!!

The piles have got better ie not painfully hurting me anymore but they are still there, i tried a couple of creams that were prescribed to me by my GP but to be honest, i do not think they helped much. I lived on paracetamol for 3 days, takign 2 every 4-6 hours... it wasn't a pleasant experience and the thought that they will come back, possibly worse, after labor, really worries me...

other than that, everything seems to be goign fine, baby is very active, but head down and hopefully will stay that way. nursery and everything else is ready!! i literally have 11 days left at work and 4 weeks in total to my DD. Exciting!!!

now, we have DTD quite regularly during pregnancy, until a coupel of weeks ago when as a result i had a tiny little bit of light pink bleeding... I tried to stay calm on that evening but given that tehre had been a bit more during the night, i decided to go to the hospital and have it checked out. It turned out that everything was fine, baby is safe etc but during DTD, one of the tiny blood vessels was provoked causing the little bit of bleeding. It was great to be reassured that all was ok but what a blow! Doctor recommended not to DTD until after labor, which right now suits me fine :)

That's funny ST82 as I had bleeding fairly regularly when I was pregnant with DS, always after dtd. I spoke to mw a couple of times but never had any further bleeding so didn't get checked out. This time however, nothing. I wonder whether I am more "hardy" these days. There's a nice thought for the day.....

Oooo my dresses have just arrived for my friends wedding. I ordered 4 but one is huge and terribly unflattering! Had a little try on and it is between these 3:

Very Red!

Maxi

Simple

Planning on buying a new pair of these which are what I have been wearing to work all summer and new accessories

Any thoughts? I am going to do my friend a fashion show later (we are both working from home today and she lives across the road so are planning an extended lunch break !)

Oooh the red one!!! I love it!! Have had my eye on it for a while but not happy to show off my swollen ankles in it! Def go with the red one! I'll be very jealous!

We are just getting ready to leave for York. Has taken DH over an hour to get organised, kinda dreading when we have a baby to organise as well!

I'm struggling to find time to get a spray tan due to travelling a million miles for this damn wedding so need to check I can pull it off looking pale and interesting.

Enjoy York, I love it there.

I like the red one best of those. I'd like the long one better if it wasn't in black, mind - but the virulent purple option isn't any better IMO. [fussy]

Yeah, I know...All black looks a bit extreme. I'd have to buy lots of accessories

I was thinking it might be easier in a maxi dress if I have to wrestle DS. Less chance of pants flashing and the like!

I vote for the red dress too - it's lovely! Maybe you can wear red pants too and then no one will notice if you are wrangling DS with rather more gusto than elegance.

2 days of work left, and man, I'm so ready to not be there. No idea how I'm going to get through my to do list, but I don't suppose I will care by the time I'm walking out of the door.

newtonupontheheath i bought the red one too, in a size 12 and it is SO lovely and flattering!!! i am wearing it at my baby shower this saturday and at a wedding next saturday... i am gonna try and pair it up with a pair of comfortable high heels, but will have my flats handy too, just in case..

The red one is gorgeous but personally wouldn't suit me as I have broad neck Is the neckline a style you'd usually go for if not pregnant? If so, I'd go for the red as its gorgeous.

If a v-neck style is usually your thing, then opt for one of the other styles. I wore a black maxi from New Look recently but blinged it up with gold/black sandals & big gold jewellery. It didn't look too bad for a whale

Thanks guys... I'm so undecided!

The red is my favourite, but think it'll make me look pale without a (spray) tan.

I'd love to just accessorise the black maxi but it is very black and quite thick material. I'm still thinking it might be warm mid September despite today's hail

But DH prefers the blue one!! That's right, DH who never has an opinion on any clothes I wear!!

Think I might take a trip to the Trafford centre tomorrow and see what accessories I can come across to inform my decision

Feeling a bit rough this evening. Can't get comfy, headachy and a bit sicky. I know dinner will make me feel better but the thought of food makes me (that's sick,not envy!)

I like the red one best, but I'm not the best person to judge as I can't actually remember the last time I wore a dress I'm more of a jeans and t-shirt/hoodie type, formal occasions are my worst nightmare :o

I have a uh... TMI question...
I have nobody else to ask without being greeted with 'eeeew!'...
I'm 35+2 and I seem to, this evening, suddenly have very thick sticky discharge I don't remember this with any of the others and I have no idea if it's normal or not!

Hetty I've had loads of discharge since the early days of pregnancy, so much so that I wear a liner daily otherwise things just feel too damp down there

Hetty I have had a discharge throughout my pregnancy but I wouldn't describe it as sticky... (well, you did ask ) but everybody is different so it could be. Mine has been continuous. Sometimes it changes, the consistency or theres more/less. It's all normal

When did you last have your wee checked? Does it smell? Possible UTI ?!

I think it just shocked me, hardly had any and now there's loads of the fecking stuff! Wee was checked a couple of weeks ago, don't have any of the symptoms of a UTI but might get it checked if it's still happening tomorrow.

Why haven't we evolved to make pregnancy shorter, less painful, and less icky? Can't be dealing with all this aching, leakage and wondering if I'm going to pee myself when I sneeze

When I had that awful cough a few weeks ago, wee kept coming out.

Was very attractive.

Haven't had leaky boobs yet (yey!) but they have been feeling a bit tender, so I bet that's the next treat

Hetty I wouldn't worry too much about UTI unless it's smelly...

I've had lots of discharge throughout and recently started getting sore achey boobs-and last night they leaked..... It's a lovely time isn't it?!?!?!

I'm going to hit the next person who says to me that it's "such a magical time." Glamorous it is not! This is how I feel:

Anothe liner dailyy girl. Between t he discharge and the sneezewee...

Oh and the boobs r getting sore for sure. Maybe I should go pick up some breast pads before I start leakng too oh screw it I can always cut one of my pant liners in half in case of emergency

I also like the red or the bluue... But go with whstever is most comfortable!!!!.

Just had my antenatal and have aparently lost a kilo since last appt. runs off to eat brownies and some tums if I don.t catch up in next 2 weeks they will send me for.a growth scan cue worrying about too small baby

I've been using a liner every day since about 10w, when my allergic rhinitis started to cause the weeleakage.

Boobs haven't started to leak here yet either, but they're definitely on the increase again in size.

Still can't believe I can get much bigger...

I'm with you thumbwitch I can't believe I can grow anymore either.

Another liner girl here no boob leakage yet tho but my dh says they looked bigger again altho bra seems to fit the same.

Ah well no more than 7wk+1 left
