Hello,

Hello everyone hope you are all ok. Haven't been in this thread for ages apologies!

I'm still very, very sick several times a day and constant nausea. I'm 14 weeks now and no sign of it going. In fact it seems to be getting worse.... I've had it for 9 weeks now so pretty fed up. I'm not in the uk and food here is not great - no lovely M&S sandwiches (which I'm craving) so I'm living on tinned soup and pitta bread, and mostly beige food. But whatever I eat in the evening, I am sick so it doesn't seem to make much difference.

On the plus side I haven't put in a single ounce since getting my BFP even though none of my shorts now fit my expanding tummy!

Please let it go soon because I'm very fed up.

Hope you are all ok - I think I spied another couple of BFPs n the conception thread but it might be a bit early for them to move in over but I hope they do soon!

one we may just be lurking because we can't quite believe it! I'll be here stressing properly in a couple of weeks!!

Hello ladies you are all more than welcome once the bfp's have sunk in. And congrats to you!

one I hope the end isn't too far away for you. My sickness started to ease off at around 16 weeks I think. Now it's only if I get too hungry so I feel like I'm eating all the time! But it will get better, and then you will all but forget the nastiness as the kicking starts. Have you felt any movement yet?

muzzy I hope you and dd are feeling better now. My ds had a nasty cold but I think I've been lucky and got off quite lightly with it. I'm so looking forward to the dolls and dolls houses! I've still got a big silver cross stagecoach dolls twin pram in mint condition that I got for Xmas 24 years ago. So I'm very pleased its a girl and I don't need to sell it!

I had the 20 week scan this week and happy to say everything looks good. They did put on the report that the amniotic fluid was low, which has given me a bit of worry over the weekend. But I phoned them today and they says it's an error and it's all fine. I will be annoyed with them later but for now it's just a relief. I've also got the extra growth scans in the new year so I will get them to double check it then. The little monkey had her legs crossed again! So they couldn't confirm the gender. So I'm really glad we paid for the private scan. Although I'm worrying now that it may have been wrong and daren't buy too much girly stuff just incase! Something else to check at the extra scans I think.

abi where are you??? I hope everything is ok!

Hey, how is everyone?

All OK but a bit stressful here - baby is breech and I've a consultant appointment next week to book a section. There goes my waterbirth out the window! But as long as she gets her safely I don't mind. SPD is making me almost housebound at the minute so I am going to try and convince them to do it the week before Christmas at 38 weeks so hopefully all the stress will be over very soon. She is still measuring small but I'm in for growth scans weekly which is exhausting but reassuring.

How is everyone else doing? Hope all scans etc. have been going well and sickness has disappeared for everyone

Hey ladies!!! My gosh long time no hear, I am so sorry I started writing a post after my 20 week scan but got side tracked and now feel ive neglected here a little. :0 (

Winter - sorry to hear spd is causing issues and now with the breach too, I hope all goes ok with baby from here on in. So not long now then? What day is your appointment with consultant? I am keeping my fx that your section date is the date you want. I still cant believe 38 weeks for you will be the week before xmas!!!

Bart, muzzy, one how are you doing lovelies?

Did I see 2be lurking on here too? Are there any more lurkers? I hope you're all doing well? What stages are you all at now?

Well im 24 weeks today. Still get nausea and gagging but no way near as bad as before, that probably all really stopped about 18/19 weeks. Its mainly now diwn to lack of sleep and some food aversions! 20 week scan went well in that baby is all ok. But we had do many people interrupting and when she did the gender she didnt leave it up on the screen for very long. She said straight away oh definitely a boy. I didnt think they were allowed to be do confident with their answers? Anyway I struggled to come to terms with having another boy, but there were other reasons involved with why it was affecting me, down to fears of labour and nit bonding with ds within thd first 2weeks after he was born. I think ive conquered my fears (apart from thd labour bit) and feel a little happier now. What really helped was going for a private scan. She was really lovely. She said she thought it was a big too but never would guarantee it as its never 100% accurate. She said something as simple as a foot or umbilical cord can be mistaken for boy bits!! Has anyone ever heard ofaanyone having what appear like definite answers on tgd sex of baby anf then at birth it being opposite?

Xxx

Hello abi good to hear from you I was starting to worry! I'm glad everything was ok with the scan. Congratulations on another little boy! It's only natural that it takes a while to sink in. And any problems you may have encountered with the first aren't necessary going to happen again. I've heard that's it's more likely to get a girl prediction wrong than a boy prediction. Although I'm sure it happens both ways. But I would say if both say it's a boy then I would be pretty sure that it is. I always loved having a sister. I'm sure your ds will love having a brother

Things are ok with me. 23 weeks yesterday and eating lots of crap! Got a bit of pain in my right hip. It's ok most of the time but sometimes stops me in my tracks. It's lots better than the sickness though so I can't complain.

How is everyone else?

Hey Bartbaby!

Glad the sickness has disappeared! I still get nausea atleast a few times a week but its ddifferent now. So thinking im coping better! (I hope!) I am 24 weeks will be 25weeks on sat!!! Ahhhhhhh !! Yeah at least we save on budget for clothing ;) !!

Winter - have you had your consultancy appointment yet?? I hope all is ok with you? :0) x

Hows everyone else? x

Hey all,
Due to hopefully get my section date tomorrow as when I went last week they sent me to the breech clinic where I refused ECV then they told me I wasn't suitable for it anyway as baby is small, fluid is low and the spd could be a problem! I feel so much in limbo now so want everything sorted out ASAP. I'm 37+4 and really feel like little madam would be better off out than in because of all these problems.

DS has just woken up so I need to go to him - sorry I haven't replied to everyone but I do hope you are all keeping very well and looking forward to Christmas. Will keep you posted on the news here

Hey ladies
Hope everything goes ok winter. Sorry you've got all that worry....hopefully your date will be soon!

I would say 2 boy opinions are going to be right abi. Your ds will love having a little brother I'm sure. We had our 20 week scan last week and weren't going to find out the sex but she went right between the legs and I defiantly saw that it was a boy!! Although a surprise would have been nice Im so over the moon to have a ds to go with dd!
It's actually nice finding out isn't it...i feel even more excited now.

Hope you're well bart and one. Hope the nausea isn't too bad.

Happy Christmas ladies

Hi everyone - sorry it's been so long! I'm 39 weeks today (EDD was changed to 30 Dec) so just waiting for things to happen now - and hoping to avoid Christmas Day itself!

Hope you ladies are all well

Hello ladies

abi glad you're doing ok and feeling a bit better. Is t it just so much better when you don't feel sick constantly?!

winter did you get your section date through? How are you doing now? I hope it's not too much longer for you now.

muzzy yey for a little boy! Boys are truly lovely. I've found out with both DC now I really don't think I could wait! It makes it easier to plan aswell I think.

nomore how are you? So close!! I hope you make it past Xmas day, but that it's not too much longer for you. Please come back and let us know how it all goes

As for me I'm constantly tired, but feel better than I have in a long time! I'm 25+1 and have a decent sized bump so I'm starting to get a bit uncomfortable sitting or laying in certain positions. I know it's going to get a whole lot worse though yet so can't complain. It amuses dh that it's killing me already going up the stairs. Were in a 3 storey so have 2 flights and I'm totally knackered by the time I get to the top!

I am loving all the wriggling about and kicking though. I love just laying and watching my bump moving about, although it does feel quite weird, and I'm finding it a bit of a passion killer with me and dh... Ds is also being very cute giving baby lots of cuddles and kisses and singing songs.

I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and get some lovely presents

Hey all!! Just stopping in quickly as I need sleep!

Winter - hun I hope you have your date through by now? And that all is going better for you!

Bart - it us so much better not being sick every single morning for sure isnt it! I still havd food aversions but work around those! I am getting really tired now too am27weeks (sat 28th) and get battered ffrom the inside quite frequently! !

Muzzy - welcome to the boy team!! :0) im just going with its a boy anyhow. ( although how lovely would a surprise ov a girl be!! Lol )

Nomore - how are you now? I am hoping all is good with you and that you are either getting to the point if just wantinv to have baby or you've had baby! ! Eeeek how exciting! :0)

Big hugz yo you all? Xx

Hi ladies!

Yes I made it through Christmas so just trying to hold on for as long as possible now to hopefully get that separation between Christmas and his birthday - even though I feel like I'm the size of a house!

Getting lots of very painful twinges (like being stabbed in the cervix) for a few days now but nothing regular so I guess it's all part of the fun....

Also we still haven't decided on a name yet!

Ahhhhh nomore, your body must be building up to the big moment!!! Very excited for you, I am sending well wishes for a good and productive labour lovely!

Hey ladies how are the rest of you? Winter hun?

Xx

Hi all. Really sorry it's been so long! Hope you are all ok? Not long now for us all... I've been struggling a bit emotionally (depression & anxiety) but with good days as well as bad. I feel ok physically except for the usual aches & pains. Am now 36+3 and hoping I don'tgo as overdue this time as I did last time!

Smidge poor you! That must be really tough. I'm struggling to keep a lid on my emotions at the moment. I seem to be unable to 'have a word with myself' when I get anxious as I would normally so get myself really worked up over small things. So what you're dealing with must be so hard. Hope you feel better soon.

Hello all! Just popped in to let you know that our absolutely gorgeous daughter Nancy was born via a traumatic planned csection (spinal didn't work..) on Christmas Eve. She was 7lb 4oz so all that worry about IUGR for nothing! She's a dream baby so far, eating and sleeping well. We got home late on Boxing day and have settled in nicely. DS has been amazing with her and DH and my parents has been incredible at looking after all of us. I'm feeling a lot better but was frustrated and upset about how awful I felt for the first 5/6 days. Things are on the up now though and we're counting ourselves so lucky to have our family healthy and complete

Will read back when I get a chance to catch up with you all. Maybe we can get a postnatal thread together once there are some more babies so we can help each other through the pitfalls of dealing with 2. Thanks to you all for your support over the last 11 months - right from ttc to now! Hope you all had a great Christmas and are keeping well

Congratulations winter!! Glad you're home and feeling better. What an exciting Christmas!

I'm officially overdue today and, after a curry for tea tonight, plan to start on the home remedies tomorrow, which DH is quite excited about!

Congratulations winter what a lovely Christmas present for you and your family. Glad you are starting to feel a bit better aswell. I think there is just so much to take inane adjust to in the first few days. I'm definately up for the one baby has arrived thread. You will be an expert by April

nomore I hope it's not too much longer for you now. The week before ds due date we went on a long walk, had the curry, had the sex and I bounced on my gym ball constantly. Not sure if any one of those worked particularly but he was born a day early. But it made me feel better for at least trying!

smidge I hope you are doing ok now. The next 4 weeks will fly by.

abi I hope you are doing ok aswell. Up to now I love the getting battered from the inside although it is gettin a lot stronger now so I'm sure it will start being uncomfortable sooner rather than later.

And happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a good night. We didn't do much but I wouldnt have changed it. We have dsd visiting for the week so it was nice to just sit in and watch a film all together and eat sweets I also had a cheeky blue wkd aswell and I must say it was lovely!!

Congratulations winter! Love the idea of a postnatal thread re dealing with two, as well. Hoping it's not too much longer nomore...
How's everyone else?

Omgosh Winter! Congratulations! ! Very chuffed for you, and so glad that you feel more settled now too :) Nancy sounds like she had a really healthy birth weight :) how are you finding it all now? Sorry to hear about the traumatic c section though :0/

Nomore - hope everything is has gone forward for you now? How are you?

How's everyone doing now?

Bart - still being battered here and the amount of movement is insane! Dp and I think he may be early because he is so much of a wriggle butt!!!

28 weeks today here! Feeling very tired so think iron is low like it was with ds! Feel like we're stagnating at home because we really want to move, but we're not sure if we can do it. We viewed a place this morning which was fabby and perfect really but because dp hasnt been giving info on his possible wage rise due at some point in January and because we rely on housing allowance top up and im not sure if that changes if our rent increases and we would need to get the deposit from somewhere I just think we cant do it. Im gutted as it was a good place and im fed up of living here as we just dont know when its being sold. :0( so I think its back to square one!! Xx

James Alexander was born in a hurry yesterday morning! I woke at 6.30 having contractions (had been feeling them before I went to sleep but told myself they'd keep me awake if they needed to) and was told by labour ward to wait at home until the contractions lasted a minute. They then started to get pretty strong and luckily we called again and insisted we go in. By the time I got there and I was looked at I was fully dilated - I just managed to get in the pool before he crowned and popped out at 8.30, just 30 mins after we got there!

My hypnobirthing plan went a bit out of the window as the panic of the rush didn't lend itself to feeling relaxed but I'm so happy that I had the natural waterbirth I wanted do badly after DS1's traumatic birth.

Also, it turns out I'm a screamer! This horrendous noise just came out of me when he started to descend. I'm still cringing thinking about it now!

Yey congratulations nomore !! Lovely name too

It sounds like a perfect birth aswell. Just what I'm hoping for! Ha ha. It's lovely when everything works out just as you want it.

Hope everyone else is ok

Congratulations nomore!

Oh wonderful stuff nomore! Congratulations and welcome to the world little chap! I hope you're all doing well. Big hugz!

Hows everyone else doing? Xx
