January 2014 (Thread 7) - more excitement to come!

[Sultanajo]

The one where hopefully we are feeling less nauseous and knackered (although we develop hippo hands and feet due to the heat!), we are entering or are in our second trimester (phew!), we continue with 12 week scans and test results (ekkk!), we have 16 week midwife appointments and hear the heartbeat (OMG - aw!), we potentially see the beginnings of bumps and feel the first flutters of movement (wow!) and the 20 week scan for some is just around the corner!

Oh and we try to improve our diets after surviving on one food group during the first trimester!!!

Bring it on thread 7!!!

(pod hope I did you proud)!

No baby dreams here, plenty of just plain odd ones though

I haven't had anything like yours Mythree nightmares are awful tho, hugs

oops, I thought you said bad dreams not baby! I've had no baby dreams either though

I've had a few. Once was that it was a little girl called Beatrice, born with a ginger bob and already able to sit up. We hadn't told anyone I was pregnant yet and we didn't have any equipment at all.

Another that I was having a scan and we'd told the sonographer we absolutely did not want to know the sex. As soon as the put the thing on my belly, up on the screen was just a willy.

toby you have made me laugh out loud again! The one about the willy is hilarious!

That's me...hilarious :o

So funny toby!

No dreams here either!

toby I wish I were good enough at Photoshop to create a scan pic of just a willy. I'd so put it on my profile.

I've had some weird dreams about being out of control - usually trying to drive a car from the passenger seat. All v Freudian.mythree you have my sympathy (oh, and your 16wk Doppler thread - brilliant, particularly the mental feminist at the end ).

:o

Love breast pads it is then! Beginning to wonder if I should get some in just incase. I remember my mate telling me hers started leaking all over her light grey t-shirt at a dinner party for the first time!

Mythree that's horrible! Nasty dreams!

Babysham - you WILL be best friends! Lol! That cracked me up!!!

OMG Toby! That willy scan dream has just made my day! Frickin hilarious! Totally cracked me up! That is bound to pop into my head tomorrow at the scan! Hope I don't start laughing like a crazy woman again!

Well, if it happens to you, we will all know I'm psychic.

Anyone seen this? We could have Christmas babies or feb babies

I saw that yesterday. I was surprised it was news, considering that 'full term' usually always means 37 - 42 weeks. It has done for as long as I can remember

With dd I used to dream that I had given birth to (and was breastfeeding) baby animals. Most commonly a tiger cub. This seemed totally to my sleepy pregnant brain.

Blimey lilies! I've just ordered some breast pads in case [grins]

I'm glad you said that tarka. Last week I dreamt I had the baby but wanted to go to a gig with my mate do handed it straight over to my brother. When I went to pick it up, it was a ferret! I was happy enough about it (even breastfed it!), but knew it would be embarrassing telling everyone else, and was upset I'd have to go back to work early!

toby turns out Photoshop is easier than I thought...

Check my profile photos.

You are WELCOME.

I made myself cough with the laughing :o

Ha ha! Delightful Humpty! Although it does look a bit liked a pooh.

Argh, forgot to buy breast pads and going out for dinner to meet a good friend of dp's ... hopefully padded bra will hold it at bay!
Love the "we WILL be best friends"!!

It does look like a poo, because it is an ancient Egyptian penis. I couldn't Google 'cock' at work...
However, working for a small charity which does work on ancient Egypt has its perks.

Mummified willy :o

Those pervy Egyptians, they probably tried that at some point. They mummified snakes FGS.

Humpty, I get those dreams too, although I am often driving from the back seat and thinking "how can I reach the pedals and see round the front seat" or having to reverse all the way instead of going forward. We clearly have control issue!

Another entirely pointless midwife appointment today (16 weeks) - took bp, did urine sample, pretended she had talked to me about everything she needed to by ticking it in my notes when actually she hadn't and hurried me out.....I liked the "do you have any questions for me" said in a hurried tone, as in £you'd better not". And all the things she did need to explain she got wrong - e.g. breastfeeding and what protection it offers you as a female and didnt explain about anti d/rheses neg at all.....didnt even have the leaflet and just asked me to look it up on internet and sign the consent form once I had.

Entirely pointless. still haven't actually met my midwife but this one was a lady so didn't throw me as much as booking in apmt with the male midwife! no heartbeat listening either - boo hiss. Rant over!!!

That sounds rubbish Percy :(

I've had some strange dreams about leaving the baby in shopping trolleys or in the middle of the road.
