Due December 2012 - feeling those kicks now

[gilsbubbles]

Here's a new link for us all to chatter on

Sorry to hear that secondsop, did they give you any explaination? Hope you're ok and resting up.

[Brew] weejo and bubbless and a comfy cushion on the sofa for you - I can't work out which is worse, all male work place or all female; some women can be just as 'grin n bare it don't make a fuss you're not ill' as men.

Bubbless, that was exactly what I was afraid for you. Can you two time it so that one of you sits then the other right after? However I know what its like in the chaos esp in first few weeks. we never get breaks at work and not even lunch breaks for the first term as so many kids need support at lunch and there's never enough people who know how to deal with the behaviour (distress related) so all hands on deck, gobble on the go. I usually spend September completely dehydrated.

Friend, I feel for you but it does make you get stuff done with a baby deadline! Get a priority list sorted pronto! Praying plumber makes some stuff work tonight.... ;)

Midwife was good today, got the next batch of bloods done. Still getting dizzy spells though bp was 110/60 ( bizarrely proud of my bp!) Oh and measuring bang on again for dates, she said there's always a little growth spurt around 27/28 weeks, which had happened last week so no need to worry about looking 'neat' or 'small' for 7 months!

!

Clarella that tea mug looks like it has a blue cannabis leaf on it! I'm sure that's not advisable for us.

I got told off at work today by women for carrying too much, but when I suggested they helped me, they stopped moaning! Bloody women!

2blessed I'm planning to start thinking about it around 30 weeks with all the good intentions in the world to get it packed by 35, but it won't be finished until a mad rush round an hour before I go to hospital! I'll probably do it in stages rather than all in one go really, just chuck stuff in as and when I get it, then once labour starts I'll repack it to make sure I've actually got everything I need.
Bubbles sorry to hear you had such a crap time at work, you need to stop thinking about work as much and once she's finished her ten minutes just say "I'm just going to have my sit down now", or just go to do it. Her pregnancy is no more important than yours.
I feel better about baby now a few people have said theirs has gone quiet too. I've been for a walk round town and now I've sat down he's having a little kick. I see my midwife next week, I think I'm just going to try going on some nice walks as he gets kicky if I exercise then sit down.
WeeJo hope the working week improves for you too.
Eggs I think MN are all for getting high with the cannabis leaf tea and the olympic 'torch' !

Hello, they couldn't see any source for the bleeding so we don't know what caused it. There hasn't been any more since then. I have, though, just had an episode of numbness on my left hand and also on the left lower side of my face. Rang them and I need to go back in tonight to be assessed again. It's one thing after the other! Can feel the baby kicking away so he seems ok though.

I've just read there's a house inside my mummy to dd, it's so lovely a nearly cried!

Seconds I hope everything is okay with you when you go back.

Bubbless, i think I'd have resorted to "is it my turn yet?" with a very pointed face, but then I'm a passive aggressive bitch like that

Seconds, fingers crossed

Does anyone else watch Hollyoaks? Is it me or does Nancy look about 7.5 months gone - she's bigger than me (27+4)!!

Bubbless sorry you had such a hard day, the next couple of months will fly by and remember you can finish sooner!

secondsop hopefully it's nothing, good that they're getting you in though.

I got told my baby is going to be really big today but some random man when I told him I'm not due until end of December.

Received my steriliser today and the baby wrap/sling thingy is waiting at the sorting office for me, can't get it until Saturday though!

seconds Hope all is okay when you go back tonight, thinking of you. Feel very guilty for moaning now! Will keep everything crossed that they figure things out quickly & it isn't too stressful for you.

Home now & hubby is taking care of dinner & doing the washing up. :) Think pain might actually be caused by the new back support thingy as my back is probably not used to being in the right position! Oh well, it's important I persevere. Hubby very insistent that I speak to work tomorrow about getting my screen at the right height, get a foot rest, etc - says it's "their bloody responsibility!" He's funny when he gets all protective (and lovely :)) He's right too!

Tonight is going to be all about a lovely bath, nice food and The Great British Bake Off I LOVE autumn TV! So excited about Strictly starting in a few weeks...might start a Pregnant Lady Strictly Appreciation thread!

Sorry for being a many old cowbag earlier & thank you for cheering me up :)

Oh secondsop, hope all is well, that sounds worrying xx

Giggling at the mug and torch, has reminded me that the pregnant bride at the wedding where everyone was pregnant questioned whether cannabis was an effective labour pain relief (its been a tough few months sorting a DIY budget wedding and doing up a house, plus baby has a cord problem) (she wasn't serious!) I think the conclusion was overwhelmingly no but I can't remember the specifics as to why.... it wasn't legality though!

I can't wait for the Bake Off, I have a bit of a crush on James, he's just lovely! Unfortunately for DP he's going to have to wait for his dinner when he gets in because I'm not missing the end just to cook for him [bad girlfriend emoticon]
It does make me jealous I don't have a Kitchen Aid or the creativity to think of all those yummy things.

bubbless it's much easier once the baby's there and there's a common ground. So people still judge but tbh they aren't worth the hassle! Just be approachable and smile a lot, they'll soon be falling over themselves to be your friends!

Whoever said about 'there's a house inside my mummy' it's a beautiful book! Both my kids love it (even when I'm not pregnant).

second that doesn't sound like much fun but fingers crossed all is ok.

DH out tonight and I nearly cried when he left which is ridiculous. But got told today he's going away to Bangalore at the end of the month for a week so I'm not very happy!

seconds good luck at the hospital

spotty what sling did you go for?

Well ive had a long day :( dh works till gobe 8 but is usually around to do the dd's breakfast but had to leave early this morning so ive been on my own all day :(

I had a massive dinner atvabout 4.30 and was stuffed now im starving again hmmm what should i eat

I know MyDaydream! I am in awe of their ability...I really like to bake and think I am okay at it but when I watch Bake Off I just thnk "Wow!" they are in another league!

I LOVE the great British bake off! Dp loves it too

ellie I got the Caboo one. Got it on eBay new for £45

Cant remember who is having acupuncture for spd but i have some questions :)

Omg friend that is a lot to do, you must be a brave woman

weejo and others sorry to hear you are in pain, I've been lucky so far and can only really say I've been uncomfortable. Maybe I'll be lucky and not get too much back pain (although I broke my back in a fall two years ago so am dubious)

On my way home now from what seemed like a mammoth shift! Be glad to put my feet up.

Ha ha spotty when I read the you had received your steriliser today, for a split seconded I imagined you can got hold of some sort of home DIY contraception kit

second good luck at the hospital hopefully everything is ok sending hugs x

cherry so sorry about your dog, I had a cat for 16 yrs when I had to put him to sleep I was crying for weeks actually had to take time off school I was that upset, had jess since I was 1 :(

Sorry been lurking not posting was at hospital last night as was having chest pains....turns out it was just severe indigestion felt so embarrassed to go in but I honestly felt I couldn't breathe lol they say pregnancy is easier the second time around ha!

lauraloo :o bless you, that must have been horrible indigestion!!

second fingers and everything else possible crossed for you! Hope all goes well at the hospital and they figure it all out! Sending you best wishes and !

eggs you really did make me LOL at the idea of spotty attempting a sterilisation.... especially at someone considering / planning it at this point in pregnancy :o - sorry Spotty I'm sure you're not... or at least I hope not...

Bubbless where do you live, maybe someone local on here and we can become rl friends?

Oh laura I saw your thread and wondered how you were! Better to be safe than sorry

Ha! Me and DIY don't go well together I'm scared of tape measures

Oh I just re read that and got it I'm so slow at the moment!

Just wondering has anyone gone for a 4d scan? I went for one with DD and have been contemplating going for one this time around DH said its a it unfair to do with for DD and not this baby but it's £140 what should I do lol

Honestly when they said it was indigestion I wanted to ground to swallow me up lol
