berri Grin at waking up exhausted from all the dream shagging!

LittleBairn · 30/09/2012 16:33

Well the sitiuation with H hasn't improved much.
He didn't come home till midnight, slept in the spare room and has ignored me all day until just now when he asked me to walk to M&S to buy him food " I though you might like the exercise..." let's just say he got a few choice from me.
Thank god the baby has no ears it never want to leave my womb.

LittleBairn · 30/09/2012 16:36

tweety just seen your posts I hope you and the baby are ok.

fertilityFTW · 30/09/2012 17:22

Ooh littlebairn! Sounds like he'll have a long, long clamber out of his pit of shame! The mood of the H on this end has been swinging wildly - every time the pendulum shifts to 'reasonable' I quickly offer some positive reinforcement. And no, I do not apologize for it sounding like puppy training Grin you have to do what you can to manage 'em.

LittleBairn · 30/09/2012 17:47

That's what I've been doing fertility being really calm and giving lots of happy smiles and positive reinforcement bit like you do with a tantruming toddler.
Yet it's just made him worse.
Since I lost my temper ( I admit I can have quite a temper...) he's been much better he's went to M&S and made his own dinner without a fuss and has even said a few words.
Confusing it would seem like he like it better when I take a firm hand of the situation....maybe I need to get a wip while I'm at it.....

LittleBairn · 30/09/2012 17:49

Whip I meant. Wink

A sound strategy

fertility, Grin at that link

PMSL!

rachywhite83 · 30/09/2012 19:57

Well I feel about 9 months pregnant already. So bloated Sad

Got my booking in with the midwife tomorrow. Bit scared I might forget something. DH can't come so my wonderful mum is coming. Bed time for me

Keep smiling all x

EllieBuffalo · 30/09/2012 20:04

Fx Tweety, hope you're ok.

Loving some of the strange dreams, I'm quite envious, they sound like one of the better symptoms Grin

kittykatskumkwat · 30/09/2012 20:12

Wilde really good news about your scan, I can't wait till I have mine and see if everything is ok, it must feel amazing!!
Tweety so sorry your having the spotting, it's always a worry but turns out fine in alot of cases, I have to disagree with any advice about going to a & e though, not all hospitals are the same and when I went ( I was actually miscarry ing I was made to wait 3 hours) then was finally examined by a doctor who said he couldn't tell and there was no one there who could scan anyway, the whole experience was one of the worst I've had and I wouldn't go again, phoning the epu direct was the best say I found as they are lovely and can reassure you etc, a&e should be a last resort massive bleeding etc thing
I'm whacked had dd running around all day and has just got me done in, I'll be asleep before 9!!

Picklep · 30/09/2012 20:39

rachy good luck for tomorrow! I've got mine on Tues. I have no idea if i should be preparing??? Let us know how it goes :-)

LittleBairn · 30/09/2012 22:34

Oops I seem to have just lost a long post.
The highlights version is DH are talking, we aren't having the 12 week scan, I'm pleased about this it was really for DH sake.
DH it seems is a bit freaked out about the whole medical aspect and having our privacy invaded with the personal questions from midwives and home visits.
I am going to have to slowly walk him through all the steps with him and not jump to far ahead to help him relax.

tweety89 · 30/09/2012 22:44

I had written quite a long post but probably my internet didn't like it and lost it. :( Angry
wild very happy for your good news! :)
kitty I wish I had read your post before I decided to go to the A&E. In a nutshell because I cannot write everything again: we were at the hospital 5 hours in total (A&E and EAU), I had more discharge after 3pm that's why we went, my tests were fine but they cannot say anything until I do the scan.They'll call me tomorrow morning from the EPU. We came back just 20 min ago, DD exhausted, we haven't eaten anything...
Logging out now to get some things done for tomorrow and I hope to have this scan done!
Thanks for your support! :)

tweety89 · 30/09/2012 22:48

little we were probably trying to post at the time! :) Very good news about DH! Tbh I'm the opposite (I had 5 scans on DD!) but I can understand your point of view as well.

LittleBairn · 01/10/2012 00:23

tweaty sounds like you have had a long stressful evening I hope tomorrow is a lot less stressful with happy news.

Just re-read my last post and I wasn't clear, I'm going to have the scan offered on NHS which is just a basic dating scan just so I can prove to myself that I really am pregnant and not dreaming. Grin
It is the private Nuchal scan we have decide against. It was really for DH benefit, which was why I was stressed about it in the first place, luckily DH has now decided he it's unnecessary as we wouldn't act on any info gained.

CheerfulYank · 01/10/2012 03:45

Just popping in to say hi, will properly read everything later. I am so tired. Anyone else? I just feel like I'm dragging all day.

Picklep · 01/10/2012 07:46

Can anyone tell me whether the midwife will take blood at the booking in appt? Or is there another appt for that? I'm a fainter when it come to blood tests, EVERY time without fail, so trying to prepare myself. (I feel sick!) :-(

Picklep · 01/10/2012 07:47

cheerful me too!! I feel like I'm dragging and the hours are dragging!!!

Hooya · 01/10/2012 07:49

Having never properly joined (didn't add myself to the stats) I'm already leaving Sad - scan showed it's not developing and will mc.

Very very disappointed but it was only our 2nd month of trying so it could be much worse.

All the very best of luck to you all for lovely, uneventful pregnancies!

Picklep · 01/10/2012 07:55

So sorry Hooya! Thinking of you. Take care of yourself and plenty of luck for next time x

IBelieveInPink · 01/10/2012 07:56

So sorry to hear that hooya. Hope you have someone there to look after you. Sad

DizziDoll · 01/10/2012 07:59

Oh no hooya, sorry to hear that. Look after yourself and FX for another BFP soon.

Hooya, I'm so sorry Sad
Tweety sorry you seem to have had a very similar experience to me in a &e, as you found out its not worth it, wish I had posted earlier for you but hopefully you will get it sorted out today and get the reassurance x
