Thread n2 for those due in May 2013

Morning all.

panda very glad your GP rang you back. They sound like a keeper! How you feeling about it all now?

wilde it does sound like the pox hasn't been to bad for your DS. Just need some scabs and you can enter civilisation again. Well if you want to that is! And you're right, as much as we moan about pregnancy symptoms we don't really want them to go away do we? I shall hold onto that thought when I'm next holding onto the toilet :)

Talking of symptoms, I'm not too bad today. Just very very emotional. I think I've cried 3 times already today. There's crap going on at work that's upsetting me and as I'm not even back from maternity leave yet I think it's making it worse. When you're not there to hear things first hand or sort stuff out it's crap.

Yay, for good scans to RT and berri. Only 19 days until mine. Not that I'm counting or anything...

Terracotta Your scan must be near mine then.Mines 25th.

As for symptoms i am worried as i have pretty much none still.Just the urinating more frequently but even that isnt as bad now.I was really bad with sickness,headaches and tiredness with the DS's at this stage.

Beaut - I'd celebrate the lack of symptoms. Loads of women have symptom free first trimesters and ice always been v jealous. You've seen the otherside so celebrate!

Terra - I'm emotional too. DD1 just got an award at her assembly. I cried before she even stood up. Then it turned out it was for a poem about wishing on a star and she read it out and one line was "I wish for a tiny baby brother". She doesn't know I'm preggers and nor do the other parents so they were chorteling away and I was sobbing - it was so very embarrassing, I never thought I'd be THAT mum in assembly.

Awe RT bless you. bet all the mothers at assembly now think your pregnant...

I'm feeling so much better today. I went to bed about 9pm, woke about 5am for an hour feeling ill so I sipped lemonade ate some ginger biscuits and managed to sleep through till 9:30am! I feel human again.
And I fully intend to stay in bed until mid afternoon because in 7 months time I won't be able to do it for years and years so to hell with feeling lazy and guilty!

Plus I discovered that my MS is worse when I eat and my stomach actually prefers to be empty so my appetite has gone on holiday.

Spoke too soon about MS decreasing! Bad night last night - up many times with DS who's got a cold.... Awful nausea this morning. Thrown up more today than any other day so far. Groan!

beaut on another thread women said about how when they had no symptoms it meant they had a different gender of baby! This pg has made me quite sicky and into salty stuff so I wonder if am having a girl compared to DS when I sailed through with nary a symptom and loved cake! (and meat...!)

rhienne you poor sausage :( I really hope you get some respite and DS gives you a bit of a break today. will you have help over the weekend?

rt! aw!

I'm emotional too. Cried at DS liking the blackbird song by the beatles, and at a little girl giving her big brother a hug on a cbeebies programme yesterday. he looked after her so well and it choked me up.

thanks for pox advice! some are scabby but he isn't scratching so they just sort of seem to be deflating. We won't go out over the weekend but hope he will be ok to go to childcare on tues so I can go back to work!

Oh dear, I had to fight down a lump in my throat and tears reading your assembly story RT - I can't handle much without a wobbly lip lately

RTchoke Youve had a very emotional morning.I always cry at DS's assembly.Thats just because i am a big baby though.Since ive had children i cry at most things and im 31 so not a great look

10storey No not near Wigan.We are going to the one in Coventry.I live in a village in Leicestershire.

Wilde Thats what DP says.I think he is not so secretly hoping for a girl although i know he would be equally as pleased with a boy.
With DS's it was meat and salty food cravings throughtout,sickness and hearburn.This time no sickness so far and i bought my fave lightly salted doritos yesterday and couldnt eat them.Wheras the new mars caramel bars i cant stop eating.Ive had to avoid the shop.

9+0

wild he may not be accepted back into nursery unless every spot is stabbed over. Some nurseries are a bit OTT and will ban completely for a certain amount of time. But you could probably fight your case if all scabbed up especially if it's a private nursery and they want you to pay for the time he is out.

My DH would like a girl too, mostly because he had a troubled relationship with his dad during his childhood and teens. I'm trying to get him to realise that because his dad is an arse and not because they were both male.
But I know he'll be really please with a son too. Frankly any child that loves Lego and kinder eggs will be onto a winner with my DH as a father.

Starting to feel hungry but don't want to eat in case sickness returns. Oddly quite fancy some tinned hotdogs, I haven't had them in about 15 years! Surely there is nothing good in them that my body could possibily crave?

Forgot to add I'm 7+3

oooh little i really might be wrong but i think tinned hotdogs are out for preggers peeps?! could have that wrong though. quorn ones are pretty nifty if so?!

Thanks for the advice about childcare and the pox. DS goes to a childminder so will call her on monday. he only has about 10 spots and no new ones today (yay!). I wonder if they will have scabbed by tuesday, i was hoping so. fingers crossed - am in so much trouble with work having just got back from a two week holiday and then needing another week off! secretly not really caring though do need to get out of the HOUSE!

taybarns sounds amazing beaut :) I want, I want! or a harvester type place where everything is fried! have hunger shakes, hurry up potato waffles! :)

oh yeah, 8+0. I have some stretching pains today!

Bugger! No way would I eat Quorn i have serious issues them basically being synthetic food. [nerdy half vegan] Good thing is other than hotdogs I've completely gone off meat, dairy and eggs.
Actually I'm not sure I follow most pregnancy food rules anyway I have yet to see any proper scientific research on why most of them are unsafe outside of the stuff that may constrain listeria or unpasturised dairy.

Will have to look up hotdogs...that said not sure I'll be eating in today anyway I can't load the dishwasher it's making me sick to even go in the the kitchen.

Think I might visit my family today if they are free (probably not) just because I'm not sure when I will next feel well and it's a 90min train journey.

wild oh a childminder is much more likely to be sensible if he's scabbed over, fingers crossed that he will be fine for Tue.
As a nanny I've looked after many a CP child and it's soo not fun basically being grounded you have my sympathy.

There is a taybarns in stoke aswell, I was thinking do you live near me too ha ha
8 wks sounds so much better then 6!!
Not sure I really believe in all this craving a certain something or sickness for a gender tbh, it's surposed to be sweet for a girl salty for a boy and sick for a girl but not a boy but like you said Wilde you were sick and wanted cake last time for a boy so doesn't really fit, I also wasn't sick with my dd and I don't remember craving anything bar fanta? I was told by everyone it was a boy as I also had a small low out front bump, there's a 50/50 chance you'll be right though

Sorry beautician sick not you Wilde

i don't believe in general gender food rules no kitty but am interested in individual reactions to the gender they are carrying :)

my childminder is eminently sensible little and would have taken him a month ago as her family and charges had all had the pox, but now she has a new toddler to look after who hasn't! much better than nursery.

luckily DS is being utterly charming so house arrest isn't toooooo dreadful... and am so tired anyway... and i don't like to be far from my fridge! we are starting to bicker a bit tho, can't wait for dh to be happy clown for a bit so i can slope off to bath and bed!

off to google taybarn...

I will be aswell Wilde, I have been pregnant 3 times but as the last 2 were mc I don't know if would say you need to be pregnant for longer to compare but I know I felt very Ill last time before I even got a bfp but will never know if it was because it was a diffrent sex, I guess because I got fed up of people telling me I was having a boy last time because of this etc and because it didn't apply anyway that I take it with a pinch of salt, that and I dont really feel different yet to first pg with dd yet I think I may have a boy this time hmmmm

I don't agree with the old wives tales in regards to general pregnacy but I can see how a woman's body will react to different sexes.

I'm now craving a McDs haven't been in there in years since they stopped doing veggie burgers. WHY is my body craving crap! It's so annoying I love all veggies spinach,avocados, squash, sweet peppers them all so why on earth when my body could be doing with my usual healthy eating do I want to eat crap nutritiously void food?

Littlebairn I HAD to go to mcyd on Wednesday when I had brought a salad for lunch?!?
If our body want crap they want crap not that I don't love macyd all the time

I feel pretty similar to my last two pregnancies (the little I can remember of them, I think nature gives you pregnancy amnesia to ensure you'll keep procreating). It does make me think this is another girl. I just can't imagine making a boy. I don't think I have a preference either way: I love the idea of having a son but I also love the idea of bringing up three sisters.

LittleB - maybe your body needs salt. Or maybe you just need to pile on some weight and this is your body's way of trying to get you to do that.

I was wondering about the salt, I don't eat much of it usually and I know your need for salt increases in pregnancy. When eating fast food I usually put salt on the fries....

Problem being I'm now really hungry ( haven't eaten yet today) feel sick and their is no McDs near by. It's my own fault should have went earlier.

RT I'm really hoping for pregnancy amnesia I was really upset the other day by how much I dislike pregnacy and I want lots of babies!

Right I'm off to vomit.

RT trust me my body has padding if anything I could do with being slimmer.

I feel permantly like I'm on a boat. I usually like boats but I don't like this one.
