[LadyTophamHatt]

Here we go then ladies.....

Hooo-Rah!! 2nd trimester is just around the corner

hi
re double buggies i'd highly recommend a Phil and Teds. we got one ds2 was born and it's been fantastic, can hardly fault it. Ds1 was 21mnths. it's a double buggy but the width of a single. it's kind of double decker style. designed by NZ outdoor company so really tough. ds1 was still needing daytime sleeps when ds2 was born so on a day out ds1 would be flat in the baby sling bit and ds2 on the top seat napping. (the top seat isn't mega comfortable for any quality sleeping but def. fine if they are desperate for sleep and home is nowhere near!). any questions feel free to ask, i'm a convert for sure! can also look on www.philandteds.com then go to products and buggies. you can buy it all over the place now if you go online and usually find soem great deals.

ok, so i should have previewed my message! i meant to say ds2 would be in the baby sling and ds1 on the top seat!

oh, one more thing. i'm 5ft 9 and have the handle on the lower height setting. (it has two settings)

Saw the mw today for booking app, she said that 'stretchy' pains and occasional sharp pains are normal, as long as they are occasional and not prolonged.
Becks - lol at sneezy pains....I've been getting them too (hayfever) so I'll do anything to avoid sneezing!
If you hven't got one in the bedroom already, a fan going at night worked miracles for me.
Also found out that my local birthing centre is closing down, probably before January. As of yet no-oe knows what the alternatives are going to be.

Loubie I think we're feeling the same. I have woken up with yet another ear infection - feel rotten and so run down. Which antibiotics are you on as last time I just did ear drops as they gave me erythmycin which made me feel very sick so i had to stop taking them.

Happy Birthday LTH!
How did it go this morning?

Bye girls. scan this morning showed a missed miscarriage. Just trying to come to terms with this. Good luck to the rest of you.

Becks5109 - I'm on the same antibiotics as you and they gve me terrible tummy trouble too - the only problem is, if I stop taking them my ear infections don't clear - I don't know which is worse....I might see if I can have a different sort thats kinder on the tummy. Hope you feel better soon x

I hope you have good people around to help you get through this. Don't forget all the support available on mumsnet, if you don't want to post here other sections might help. Sometimes it can help just to post the stuff you don't want to or can't say in real life.

so sorry to hear indignatio. I know how heart breaking missed mc can be especially late on as mine was not discovered until I was 15wks pg. If you want to talk feel free to cat me take care of yourself hunny and take it easy

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and hugs
I have a great bunch of friends taking care of me - guess you also realise how lucky you are with your friends at times like these. Boy do I miss my Mum - she died almost 5 years ago and fathers and mils are just not the same.

Indigito, I'm so sorry to hear your news. The sentence about your Mum brought a tear to my eye...you poor thing.

I hope you have so happy times ahead soon.

Indignatio hun I am so sorry for your loss xxxxx

indignatio, so sorry to hear about your loss

for you

Hi girls, I felt abit bad posting this yesterday after reading indigitos news. She read about it on another thread and has asked me to brighten the mood abit

I've just copied and pasted it....

Had Fab birthday!!!
I had a scan this morning after Gp referred me to EPU.

Sonographer was so pleased with the images that he bought forward my nuchal scan booked for next week and did it all today.
Best results I've ever on a scan and had 1/2099 for Downs and 1/6745 for the other thing the test(can't rember waht its called). He said those results put me a age 15!!!
Not bad concidering it's my 33rd birthday!

-----

I can't tell you how relieved I was. I still felt a bit freaked out by the whole "OMG theres a baby in there" thing but he gave me 4 photos of the little person because it was my b'day.
We went shopping after and shoppd til we almost dropped. Almost missed the train home to collect the boys from school...I had to run !!!

and almost gave myslef a heart attack doing so....christ it nearly killed me!

anyway, thats the scan news....I am now in the 2nd trimester...Hoooo-rah!! the sonographer has bought my dates forward a little too. Neww EDD 9th Jan.

That's lovely news LTH - what a great birthday present! How exciting to get your due date bought forward too! Really lovely of Indignatio to want you to share your happy news too.

Fab news LTH, and congrats on reaching the 2nd trimester!

I hope my levels are as good as yours - although I'm 38 so not expecting them to be brilliant!

Loubie xx

Hey...isn't it great to see an Due in march 2007 thread on here??

Makes ours seem old now

It seems to be going fsater than I thought which is great at the moment. I keep seeing stuff I want to buy but still feel it's too early.
I was the same with dd4 and left it so late I didn't have everything coz she came at 33 weeks

Magnolia, how many people have asked/said to you "Ohhh I bet you want a boy" or "Ohhh you might get a boy this time!!" or words to that effect??

I get it all the time!!

(although obv the say girl)

Hi Everyone, not posted for yonks but have been lurking. Sorry to hear about those of you who have lost your precious babes.... sending you all a big ((((hug)))

Makes me a bit guilty to post my news that I've had my nuchal scan.... and (unbelievably!) I really do have a baby on board. Measuring spot on for dates, so EDD is still the 3rd Jan - and everything looking fine so far. "Relieved" just doesn't come close to describing how I felt when we saw our little bubba for the first time

Sickness went away for a couple of weeks but is now back again .... and the tiredness is still completely overwhelming. Really looking forward to the "blooming" stage!

So, just got to decide when to start telling everyone. I want dd to be the first to know, so hoping to keep it quiet for a few more weeks. She's got a 5th birthday coming up soon, so want to make a big fuss of that... and save the much-requested sibling news till after that.

Good luck to everyone else due their 12/13 week scans and lots of (that's envy, not sickness vibes!) to those who have started to bloom
