Welcome to our new home! :)

ps Toast?! I didn't get no toast. Is this a Guernsey thing maybe? You have to produce a baby before you get NHS toast (although tis the best toast ever).

I'd take a healthy sandwich for after. I didn't & had to buy something crappy from the orspital shop which made me feel rubbish. (Poss indicator that I had GD?)

They do seem quite keen on toast over here! You're so right about post-delivery toast. Just divine! I had two rounds!

Yeah I'll take something. There's little in the shop I can eat.

10 weeks already?! Is he smiling at you?

He certainly is - I tend to post pics of him looking grumpy cos it's cuter but I'll have to do some smiles too. The best is at night after I feed him and he is obviously trying to make my face out in the dark - when he sees me I get a massive cheeky grin. Then and mornings are the most smiley times - post 6pm you'd think he was the poorest most put upon child in the world.

Awwww I'll never forget the first time I saw DNephew smile, it was awesome! I can't wait for that bit myself! Definitely want to see some pics!

I'm trying not to overdo the fb photos. I think working with a bunch of babyhaters has made me assume people don't want to see them (also ESH sensitivity to friends who can't or haven't had children). But people seem to like them when I do post them. So maybe I'll post a few more soon.

Fairy snuff about not going overboard. I do have friends who are OTT....but one lickle smiley is allowed! :) I try not to put too many 'Ooh pregnancy related' status updates etc. tis irksome!

To advise pliz- re abdo pain. I've had this the last couple of evenings. Right side, under boob/rib. Its only just started again, no pain all day. It's uncomfortable but not agony (but I'm on regular painkillers for something else). Last night it settled at bedtime. It's a bit disconcerting but I have no other signs of pre-eclampsia - mild headache, not like anything that is described on net. However advise says not to leave it but get seen ASAP....I'll take some gaviscon in case it's digestive related. Should I be seeking advice? Can it come and go? I've realised I should be seeing my MW tomorrow for a 25 week appt so I will ring first thing to try and book in. D'you reckon it can wait til then?

Rang 111 who advised OOH so I'm off in a minute. What fun!

OOH? Hope all's ok.

They've only bloody admitted me! Think its inflamed gall bladder. Am on surgical ward. Scan in morning. Daft cos they won't do anything...grr I don't want to be here! Ah well, I best try to get some sleep....

Oh and there's a woman in the side room wailing like a banshee..... Even with ear plugs, she's still loud!

hope you managed to get some sleep faith! and hope you get some answers today, though as you said they are unlikely to do anything about it! I'd offer to visit but I can't drive. Anything other than pottering around the house is agony and setting off all sorts of pains and discomfort and I'm a bit scared that I'm going to go into labour if I push it. (i feel like I did before my waters broke with DS). I'm 35+1 and I am crossing me legs until 37 weeks.....

Hooray, can go home! Since pain has eased they will scan me as outpatient. Could be gall stones but they won't do anything til after I have Pickle anyway!

Sorry you're feeling rough queenie. Keep those legs crossed so you can have the home birth you want! :)

Gosh I missed the drama. Glad you're home Faith. Did you get to see the baybee?

Keep those legs firmly crossed Queenie.

Nope, no such fun! No scan overnight or anything. Just waiting for discharge papers (who knows how long that will be?!). Even when they scan me it'll be high up so I doubt I'll see baybee (unless they give me a sneaky peak?!).

Hooray, am home. So very tired!

hope you're napping now Faith, i went back to bed a slept solidly for two hours. feel almost human now....

Oh faith just read all that...hope your ok! Get plenty of rest and watch this Weeks grand hotel!
Well I went for the early scan today! Was a but panicked as I had some blood (just a tinge) in mucus last night but today got to see the wee bean! Heart rate 162 and they say 7 Weeks! Was amazing!
Guy is apparently the oldest working ultrasound guy in Scotland and what a character but so lovely...I was still trying to see it and he already had checked everything! An expert!

Fantastic bluer, how wonderful... Look forward to watching your progress.

I have stayed up, though mostly on the sofa. I feel I have achieved so much because I cut my fingernails and had done a load of washing yay me!

Congratulations bluer, that's wonderful news! It's the most amazing feeling, isn't it? I got all weepy hearing Pickle's heartbeat again today! Good to be more certain of your dates too!

Thanks blonder! What stage are you at?

Mr df keeps laughing and saying he wished he had a picture of my face when I heard it! Big cheesy grin

Hello there, long lost luffs! Sorry for having been totally AWOL but have had lots of ups and downs and was avoiding whimpering incessantly about it all.

Am still tracking down all the action packed adventures in PESHland, and will hopefully be caught up soon! Congratulations on the new arrivals!

EDD moved up to 15/5 - so am 22wks today - getting lots of inside action from a very active young miss - yep, it's going to be a girl!

Had some bad times with the (not-so-D-sometimes)H - and the stress was taking a major toll (need to avoid as have had clinical depression/anxiety in the past and reeeeally don't need it now) - so I went off on a two-week adventure, did something I've been wanting to try for years and while doing that stayed with some relations. Did a world of good - and the absence did H a world of good too, so things are loads better and only a couple of minor hiccups in the general mood. Hurrah!

FTWoo! How luffly to see you! Sounds like you've had a busy time but I'm glad things are settling.

I'm 25+2 now :) baybee is growing, wriggling, kicking! It looks like mine is a girl baybee too, we are redressing the balance with the boys that we've had in the PESH!

Ok, IABU! Someone I went to school with has just celebrated their DS' first birthday but he was premmie. She's just announced she's diffed again so presumably about 12 weeks?! So I am torn between 'two under 2, rather her than me' and 'Blimey she's got diffed twice in the time it took me to win two baybees' (They got married a while after us and I very much doubt they were trying to win a baybee before that). I can be happy for people who have tried for a long time but this bitterness still lingers, doesn't it?

Good to see you fertility and glad things are improving.

I am absolutely shattered today. Edward was really hard to settle last night, he was just wide awake and wanting to feed all the time! It didn;t help that I would just about get him to sleep (on my chest usually) when The Mister would whip him off my chest and into his crib because he doesn't him getting used to settling only on me. I do understand that but I think if he had left him a few minutes more then he would have been in a deeper sleep and would have gone into his crib. Inevitably he woke up every time! So, I feel knackered and The Mister is still in bed snoring away.:(
