Due March 2007 - No. 3

[novadandypowder]

Ahem - allow me....

Sorry to gatecrash have just come to say hi to kittywits, we have kids all the same age and are both prg with #6. Madness i know....
The mercedes does look great, i had friends who had them and they had no complaints. Not sure our budget will go that far so am looking at alternatives. Whats the ergo carrier, surely not a new product i have not heard about?! Am totally addicted to baby stuff, and babies come to think of it...
Am so jealous of all you ladies being so far ahead, im only 10 weeks. Good luck to you all and sorry to gatecrash. Like kitty am off to feed the mini demons

Well I've just fed the dog. Do you think it'll be ok to just shove the baby's food in a bowl on the floor? Sure the kid won't mind.

Diva: sorry your appointment was horrible. I think SS (appropriate abbreviation sometimes I feel) are so worried about letting kids 'slip through the net' that they forget they're supposed to be working with families and treat parents like the enemy.

HI all
Keep going away and missing loads, Can't keep up with you lot.
16 wks today, was still sick this morning though will it ever end? March is looking so very far away....

X posts Penny. Sorry you're still sick. I felt like you, but if it's any consolation I'm 18+3 now, and I've been feeling hugely better for about a week. Fingers crossed.

Penny - sorry you're still sick

Diva - WTF have your relationships got to do with that guy anyway - patronising so and so? Maybe you should've asked him about his "relationships"

Evenshope - well done on the amnio result. Relax and enjoy your pregnancy now - and that's an order

GP was great - we agreed I have urinary infection - which is why my lower abdomen feels tender and sore.

Regarding the blood, he has faxed over a referral to QC ante-natal for a scan and told me to call them tomorrow to make sure they're on to it. Listened to my anti NHS rant as well

He explained that up to 12 weeks the hospital will see you, but only 'cos they're scared you may have an ectopic pregnancy and die on them. Then after 20 weeks they'll see you because if anything happens, they might be able to save the baby. When you are 12-18 weeks, you are merely another gyneology patient to them.

Charming eh?

Hi to everyone else

DS wants me to do one of these:

Gyneacology I mean

DS wants me to do his now: , ,

Diva thats awful. I had hoped it would have been a positive thing today. How olds your ds? One of my sisters is having a terrible time with her 6 year old boy and cant work out why at the moment. She is always blaming herself but she is a really conscientious mother

Fatfox- glad you are finally getting some answers!

Fatfox: sorry you're in pain, but glad it's only a urinary infection! Was thinking about you this afternoon.

Hello! Feeling much better today. Am surrounded by boxes and nearlhy all packed. Am just girding my loins for the final push (and looking forward to the takeaway which always comes with moving house - chinese tonight, indian tomorrow and fish and chips friday. I will be the size of a house by the end of this pg!)

WHere to start - Evenhope, that is such good news, so glad it went well.

Fatfox, I am thinking of you and hoping it is all working out and you are getting info. Thank GOD for Kitty and her wealth of advice - second the point about Kitty staying to keep the rest of us sane. Honestly, Kitty, you should charge .

Fingers crossed for your results Leo. Hope you are resting well.

Very jealous of all the ladies with lovely hair - mine is shocking on a good day, and pg is not helping. Can't wait to have it coloured as I am very grey at the moment.

Hola Dixia - if I get insomnia, I get out my day book (where I write all my lists and things - since DD born brain shot to pieces so I have to keep a note) and write down everything which is worrying me / stressing me / pissing me off etc. I then sort out what I can do and that often calms me down. I read "closer" or something equally intellectual til I feel snoozy again. That or a large glass of wine.....

Diva, I am sorry you feel under scrutiny - I expect they are just trying to get some background info to understand your family dynamic or something like that, but I agree that it is not always the most pleasant experienve being quizzed.

So sorry you are still feeling bad Penny - hope it passes off soon.

Mat leave - I get 3 months on normal pay, then 6 months on SMP. I went back when DD was 7 months old and would love to stay off for a year this time, but I doubt we'll be able to afford it. Mind you, i only work 2 days a week and the odd
saturday so it's hardly arduous!

This will be my last post for a while as I didn't sort out Virgin in time so will be internet free until next week. I'll check in on momday at work to see how you are all doing. Love to all XXXX

Good luck with your move Dolly

ps. Thanks Kitty - your advice worked.

Did anyone see the godess Durga on TV yesterday - the Bengali godess representing motherhood? She has 10 arms and eyes in the back of her head

Hi Rosylily

Good luck Dolly!

Where are you moving to?

Thanks Dolly ,that's very kind of you! Tell you what how about you donate some of your ample boosoms to me? .
fatfox, so far so good then? Make sure you give them a ring tomorrow. I'm on antibiotics for a possible infection in my mouth, tooth, somewhere anyway. They always give me thrush have to up my dose of threelac.

Diva, these sorts of services are never up to much imo. What probs are you having with your ds if you don't mind me asking? Have you thought about starting up a thread here? It's good to find out if others have the same experiences.

Right have to go off internet wellie hunting now for the boys. Can't find any boys' wellies in the shops, lots of girly pink ones though

Evening . Feeling a bit tired and emotional today. DS2 woke up very early for him and then was sick, so I have been walking around in a tired daze. Found out that DH's cousin has just give birth to her baby at 31 weeks amd he is in SCBU at St Thomas with breathing probs. This has made me fly into a bit of a panic. Now thinking about all the what if's ??? If my baby was born early ..... well - SCBU's in Sri Lanka are virtually non existant. Honestly ladies - despite the NHS failing from time, I think we are blessed with a fairly good health system compared to most developing countries !!

Now seriously thinking about coming back to the UK after Christmas incase anything goes wrong I hate the weather in Jan and Feb. Don't know what to do for the best.

Sorry for self indulgent ramblings. Fatfox - glad you know whats going on with your bleeding. Hope everyone else OK.

Kitty got DS2 some v. cheap Blue wellies in Woollies last week £2.99 or something x

laidback-im sure your friends baby will be ok.there was a baby who'd been born at 25 weeks in icu at leeds when dd2 was there.he'd been in and out of hospital bt he was doing well.i dont like to slag off the nhs,i know we are lucky in this country,it just seems the doctors and nurses work is being made harder cos of clueless management and stupid policies.

rosy-ds1 will be 9 in january.
booboo/kitty-i was advised by his school to have him refferred to the child psychology team as they think he displays some mild autistic tendencies and i thought if there is anything 'wrong' then i could find out the best ways to understand him as ive always found him very challenging.
fatfox-it made me feel like shit cos my mother and my xp(ds1's father) both say that any problems he has are due to me having had so many different men.ds and dd1's father was an abusive b**d and ds2's father was a pathalogical liar.im supposed to have stayed on my own forever after i split from xp i think.

i tried to start a thread on special needs last night but i didnt get any replies

laidbackinasia, don't think of all the things that could go wrong!! There are millions of them and if you worry then you will stress your baby!!! I can understand considering coming back to blighty though. Weather is truly crap at that time of year though

Got some Hunter wellies in the end, bit indulgent but dp is paying

fatfox-glad u were listened to at the doctors and hopefully u will find out exactly whats going on

hi guys, haven't been about for while what with one thing and another which i wont go into right now and its just too much of a daunting task to even think about reading up on this thread so i wont pretent i have. To be honest when i saw how many posts there were since i last posted, i nearly didnt come back, its a bit like being off work for a month and wondering how you will fit back in to the swing of things, what you have missed out on and wondering if anyone will welcome you back or have they formed new aliences! Dont mind me i think too much and have gotton over sensitive about loads of things this pregnancy.

I do hope everyone is well, and the pregnancys are developing nicely. I cant seem to even think about food at the moment without putting weight on, saw my MF today and she weighed me, god i nearly had my baby there and then. Feeling very sorry for myself at the moment wondering how much i will end up putting on and if i will ever shift it afterwards........ .... but i did get to hear the heartbeat for the first time so that cheered me!
Right will leave it there for now, dont want to dampen anyones spirit, hugs to one and all xx

Jaysecond, don't be silly !! It's lovely to have you here. I don't think anyone has formed any alliences, infact I know we haven't , we're just supporting anyone one who's here. We are all here for each other. Some people like me spend far too much time on here and don't do other jobs in the house!

16 weeks today

Kitty, i know i am bein silly, god i used to be a sane normal(ish) 35 yr old.. now i am an emotional wreck! Promise to start pulling myself together

You can fall apart here if you like .
Anyway I can guarantee that no one is as paranoid as me, though I'm working on it !!

Jaysecond never worry about your weight now! I think I'll be joining one of those losing weight threads next year...I want to be lithe and lovely after all this baby producing but in the meantime pass me the cakes....

I am so wrecked today I had another cr*p nights sleep with ds2 being ill. So today I don't even care if I get dressed and if I can't get a nap later I'm going to cry.

Diva I'll have a look at your thread!

17wks 4

Hi Jaysecond - its great to hear from you, we were worried about you. I know what you mean, when i am having a normal work week I find it impossible to keep up and lost track of everyone, but this week is great as I'm at home resting so getting to know everyone a bit better ! And don't worry about the weight, when you have two toddlers to run around behind you will be sure to lose it all again !

Divastrop - bump your thread, it may have just been a bad time to post.

Fatfox - have you phoned the hospital yet?

Greatnews Evenhope ! I have to wait 10 days for my results. Not at all worried though, more worried that I'm not feeling the babies move as much at the moment - well I probably am but because I'm nervous I just think I'm not!

Laidback - I can understand your nerves, i'm bloody nervous about the whole pregancy, birth and safety of the babies and live in a country with one of the most advanced health services in the world.

Hope everyone else is doing well today !
