we've smacked that rat now brooking for healthy pregnancys and sneeze births!

hope everyone finds me.

Failed on the work clothes front, but found some lovely soft skinny jeans in topshop. Most places either said go online, or had a tiny and/or v casual mat section. I am not going to work, or indeed anywhere, in tracksuit bottoms and a 'mind the bump' t-shirt. Hideous.

maybe just keep up your fluids. How about eating ice? Are you enjoying the job? I guess you've just missed out on mat pay then, have you?

I did wonder bout the topshop ones I looked at the in the oxford st store on Sat but didn't buy as I couldnt be bothered to try on. they looked Lovely. asos seem to have the biggest range. but overall I think mat ranges are a little disappointing.

Good buy Keep. I missed out in SMA but I will be entitled to SMA. Looks like the company don't offer a maternity package to anyone, so I haven't missed out on anything there!

There are some lovely maternity bits in some places Trix (not the high street shops, but maternity specialists) but they can be pretty pricey!

Maybe you poor thing, as everyone says keep up with your fluid in take, is there no chance you can go home?

Sweetie I wish our trust did that, that you did your bloods beforehand and get your results on the day of your scan.

Keep those jeans sound good. I can't really add to the debate on maternity clothes yet as I've not started looking for any yet. But I am going to Brent cross tomorrow so may have a look around then.

Glad you had a lovely birthday Trix

Penguin you're poor friend.

So we decided to tell the extended families yesterday, it was lovely getting everyone's response. They were the people I have been avoiding as they always comment on whether I've lost or gained weight so I'm sure they would have guessed had they seen me recently. In other news I'm finally weening off the steroids over the next 2 weeks, Yay!! I'm still on the clexane and cyclogest though, Boooo!!

didn't realise you were on clexane too solars do u inject it?
herapin (same thing as claxane) was on my treatment plan bit they crossed it off said I didn't need it. I was so relieved! I'm a wimp with needles.

Yes I inject Trix since the all the ivf I've got used to the injecting, I was quite terrified at first but now it's just part of my routine. Thankfully my gp is giving me the prescriptions as it was costing me a small fortune otherwise!

I bet! they were costing me loads on private prescription. but honestly you'll be off the before you know it.
so I'm looking on jojo maman bebe there's a pair of jeans £10 in the sale. their straight leg, I prefer skinny but I'm still v.tempted.

Oooo there's some skinny jeggings £7. there's a few bits on the outlet bit. not many sizes though.

ooh i didn't notice the outlet bit. Thanks trix! I'm gonna get those jeggings too, and also a wrap top. Do you know there's a MN discount code of 10% off and free delivery www.mumsnet.com/partner-offers/jojo-maman-bebe-discount

ordered! I wonder how long that code is valid, some of the sleep suits are so cute! bit pricey though.

awesome. me too - we'll match!

keep
oh I looked on Asda. only size 20 left. so they must be popular. did look good, really skinny in the leg and a nice colour.

trix no, no sickness yet. It's so strange, I'm just waiting for it to hit me some morning. It will probably be the day I have to start caring for my elderly neighbour again.

Oh quick question about that, I read somewhere that you shouldn't lift anything heavy, I just assumed it meant later in pregnancy but what about now as I do a lot of lifting with this elderly man.

maybe hoping you feel better.

penguin I think the main risk with lifting is that you injure yourself due to looser ligaments etc. So make sure you life properly, ie with knees not back. Here's hoping for no sickness for you this time, they do say every pg is different!

just read some bad news on my other thread. I can't believe it. shes had an awful time already and has just found out her baby has died at just over 20wks. I can't believe it

Oh trix That's so sad Poor lady. Just remember that it's a really rare thing to happen.

keep I'll get those things in the post tomorrow for you. Can't believe you don't fancy any slogan t-shirts! Bet you end up wearing yoga pants round the house by the end though - I used to love getting in from work and putting mine on!

Waves to all you glowing preggos!

Oh god trix this is all so hard. That poor poor lady :(

Today we are pregnant. One day at a time. I think we will all be better parents for having gone through all this, I know I will. I'm really looking forward to meeting some of you next month. trix are you coming?

So we move into our rental house today. Well, I do while dh is at work. No internet till next week, so don't worry if I'm quiet. Tomorrow we hire as van and get our stuff here, we've just had the one suitcase. I of course am not lifting anything, poor dh...

solars I'm brooking you get your perfect blood results soon, and sweetie for your scan.

Oh Trix how sad for that poor lady.

Good luck with the moving Keep. Yes no lifting for you! I wish I was coming up to the meet up, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

When is you scan Sweetie?

It's turned out quite grey today! Hope everyone has a lovely day x

where/when is the meet up? I think I'm not very near to any brookers.
I will admit it has scared me a bit even though as olives said I know how unlikely it is that it will happen to be. its just out of anyone I thought she would be lucky this time. she had a blighted ovum at the beginning of this yr and previously lost her little prem boy. its just not fair some times.

Trix that's so very sad. It's understandable to be scared. But things will be ok x

Keep good luck with the move. The best thing about not lifting, is that you can delegate. From the sofa. With tea and biscuits

Very grey here too Solars. I'm so excited you've told your family

Happy Moving Day keep try to let DH do all the heavy lifting. We managed ok until the new sofa arrived and DH was like "just get the other end of this" NO!!! I had loads of lists on the go of jobs to be done, but the top of every list was Sweetie - growing twins!!! Just got to keep reminding them.

I am very nervous about my scan on Monday it doesn't help hearing about people losing their babies I want to be excited but struggle to get past complete fear that something will be wrong or even that they won't be both still there. My tummy is growing so something is going on it there but I haven't felt much in the way of movement. I have had the odd feeling but nothing I could say was really definite.

I asked DH to cut my toe nails last night, as a bit of a test, they really need doing. Well there is no way that will be happening, he made it very clear. I am struggling with my sore joints to bend my leg enough to reach my toes. As you said yesterday keep - the glamour of it!!! So I am going to try to do them myself today and then hope they last. I am hoping aren't I???

Oh trix how awful. That poor lady.

Good luck with the move keep. This time last year I'd moved house and my Dps family wouldn't let me do anything. I wasn't even allowed to carry a pillow. So they proceeded to unpack and put everything in the 'wrong' place. I spent next few days moving it all around to the 'right' place. Was a pita.

Is grey here as well. Hopefully it will clear up a bit later.

Wow Sweetie, I think you really are hoping . Why won't he cut them?!

I know what you mean about the nerves, I can't stop thinking about Tuesday. But you will be absolutely brilliant. I just know it x

sweetie hope I haven't made you feel worse. I'm sure you be fine.
keep hope the move goes well.

Sweetie I've already told DH he will be cutting my toenails in the later months, he said of course but whether he does is it at the time is another story! How about a pedicure? I'm brooking your scan will be all good!

As will yours Maybe is MrM going with you?
