DUE MAY 07 PART 2 the sequel

[mummymelling]

there you go ladies its started

oh no! May not go then....what about burgerking?

ooh not sure about their toys. My sister took Jack to MacDonalds the other day and our song box plays reel to real's 'i like to move it'!!! very annoying!

I fancy a KFC!!!

Cant eat kfc but wont ruin it for you. I have to go somewhere cant even face making the a sandwich...useless mummy. Im sure they will be thrilled though. Ds has just read this over my shoulder and gone jumping all over the house telling them all we are out to lunch, god damn it the inconvenience of children who can read. They spell too, i used to say B.A.T.H. to exp and now they start yelling it out and running up the stairs stripping off! Soon nothing will be secret...
Will tell you all funny story later about that, but must feed them now, or there will be mutiny and im pretty sure there are enough of them to overthrow me

Hey Ladies,

Hope you've all had good weekends.

MKG, thanks for all the positive thoughts! Personally, I loved having a summer baby last time (June) and wanted another. My reasons:

• When you have to be up with newborns repetitively in the middle of the night, it is much less painful when you can see daylight emerging outside
• DS lived in a vest for the first 3 months of his life. It was far too hot for anything else. Thus the dressing/undressing/panicking cos they may be cold issues were removed.
• we spent the first few weeks having daily dozes in parks. It makes it much easier to go out for a 10 min stroll than when its p*ssing it down.

So, yeh May babies!!!!!!!

I've had a tough day. I'm getting really tired now and DH wasn't well at all today. Man flu no doubt. So I've had to do the majority of DS's care on my own. Not much fun when all you want to do is sleep. I realise I'm probably a big wuss and most of you do this through the week on your own anyway, but I've found it all a little tough.

Crossing fingers and toes that he is better tomorrow.

Hello everyone, soory to hear that so many of you are gripped by the sick. It is the worst thing about pregnancy, there are not many people who manage to avoid it. Im not too bad today as long as i nibble all the time.

I got a call from my midwife yesterday!
I see her tomorrow at 4 for my booking in appointment, so am hoping to grill her on the antenatal care i will get here. I cant wait, it will seem official then. Im 9+4 today

Talk to all later, have kids tea to do.

I just want to say the I have the sweetest ds. He's almost 14 months, and he's the best. This morning I was in no condition to do anything (I wake up tired). I put him in his jumperoo and put on sesame street. He was so quiet I was able to nap for about and hour and a half. When I woke up he was surprised to see me like he forgot I was there. Today has a been a rough day.

Hope you feel better soon mkg, it is awful the tiredness just takes over. Im in for it later, was yapping on the phone till far too late then read till 1130, bad news. Had prg insomnia kick in at 5 and that was it sleep over.
Am tempted to wear superwoman badge today, have raced around all day. Have to get kids at 3 and have an extra 4 tea tonight (well who would notice one more when i have 5 already)
The midwife comes at 4 too, so am cleaning. My blood pressure will probably be through the roof must calm down

afternoon ladies. Sorry to hear so many of you are suffering as well. I've had a hideous 2 days of it. DH got a 36hr bug at the weekend, so I was looking after DS on my own, which was a bit tough, then I caught the bug off him. Unfortunatly, it was hard to work out what was the bug and what was pgy. Bug symptoms included sickness, no energy whatsoever, urge to sleep overwhelming. I did use the opportunity to tell DH that he was lucky to have it for a day and a half. I'm stuch with this for the next 7 weeks!!

MKG, what's a jumperoo? Sounds like fun, especialy while watching Sesame Street!!!

Hi all,
Im glad you've said about the insomnia.I thought that was just me.Cant work out if thats why I ve got the creeping death tiredness or if thats just a pg syptom all on its own.Either way its not good at all.
I have early scan tomorrow as my spotting has continued.Had to have two Dr's appts to get it though.The first one was outrageous.He said, without even asking any questions, 'well you've probably had a m/c.Do another test in a few weeks and then we'll think about booking you in with the midwife if it comes up positive'.I asked him to book me in for an early scan, given my history of missed mc, but he claimed they 'didnt exist'Told him we'd had one with dd, and he said, 'i'd be very surprised if you did'.What a w**r!Anway I was so shocked that I didnt really retaliate.Then over the weekend I got mad and went in this morning...
Anyway sorry to rant but Im so cross just thinking about it...

Glad everyone else is doing ok today...

Jonah,

You don't have jumperoo's over there?

A jumperoo is like a god in our house. You know those doorway hangers that babies can jump in? Well a jumperoo is like that except it isn't in a doorway. It sits independently like an exersaucer but it is just where babies can jump up and down like fools. It has some toys and plays music and lights up. The best part is that we can put it in any room. So now it is in our bedroom so he can jump while I'm online or watching tv. He has outgrown the exersaucer but he still jumps like a fool. It has been the best thing I have bought as a new mom. (everything else given to me by my sister so it was only the thing we really had to buy).

Fisher Price makes it and it is called the Deluxe Jumperoo. It is great for active babies that don't walk yet. I started with ds when he was about 5 months. So we have gotten 9 months out of this thing.

Sorry to ramble.

Scooter,

You should have ripped into your doctor. I hate it when doctors dismiss people like that. I hope that you are fine and I send you baby glue. Relax and eat lots of chocolate.

Hi ladies

{whisperes} starting to feel slightly better on the sickness front. Although now i have said that it will probably be even worse! Despite the sickness fading i have now started retching! Very odd!

Have to say that i cant beleive how different pregnancies can be. Now totally appreciate what a fantastic pg i had with ds. I'm 9+5 today but look how i did at 4/5mths by the 3pm hits! (TMI) i havent 'been' for a week. I am eating loads, so where is it all going? and the list goes on!

I had a meeting today that lasted 2hours. No windows were open in a small room where 8 people were crammed! thought i was going to pass out at one point. Had to squeeze myself into a pair of trousers and thought that i would lose circulation in hte lower half of my body!

Hello all.

Mind if I join you? Im 38 and expecting my second in May - EDD 28th. Im so scared nd havent told a soul - not even my partner as I had mc in June and he was soooooooooooo stressed out worrying about me all the time.

Im just waiting for an appointment at the EPU and then the 12 week scan before I finally exhale.

You all sound so supportive, though part of me feels like im intruding or butting in on long-established friendships. I'td be great for me and I look forward to talking to you all to trade support, suggestions and anectdotes.

Ive been having some blood in my urine for a while now - its not urine infection, kidney stones or bladder, so im having camera investigation to check my urine tract in 3 weeks. Anyone any experience of what this could be? The waiting is killing me and im worried as hell that they'll advise me to terminate.

sorry to be so full on in my first post. I just look forwaqrd to getting past this 'not knowing' bit and to contributing some more positive postings.

Hey MonaLisa,

Welcome and congratulations

Don't worry about anything. What is, is. There is no changing it. The worrying will drive you crazy.

Enjoy being pg. Eat chocolate (that seems to be my advice for the day) and sleep.

Sending you lots of baby glue.

I see that there is a message on here that I had a mc. That's noyt actually the case. I thought I was miscarrying two weeks ago but in fact I didn't and the heartbeat was seen on the morning I was due to have the ERPC. However, the news was niot entirely good, the obstetrician told me that the size of the baby was a week too small for my dates. He gave me only a 30% chance that things are actually OK, saying that there is most likely a chromosomal abnormality (aneuploidy ie the wrong number of chromosomes) which is causing the small size. I have had to wait two weeks (very difficult weeks) not knowing what is happening, and have another scan tomorrow morning. This should give us some more information.

It's been a very difficult time. I've kept posting on the pg after mc thread, where I have been getting a lot of support, but just didn;'t feel right posting on here at the moment. I will let you know what happens.

Oh nicola i hope so much that you are ok and your baby is hanging in there. It must be awful for you. We are all here too, cant wait till you come back and tons of good luck for tomorrow
Monalisa im so so sorry to hear you are having a rough time at the moment. I cant believe you havnt told your dp yet, even if he did worry last time at least he could support you. Have you got good friends around you? We are always here if you need to chat, rant or anything else. Lots of hugs to you.
Mkg am following your advice choc is sooo great.
April glad you are feeling betterish (whispers) Hope it lasts for you. Am seriously debating whether or not to open the maternity clothes box...its just i have not seen dh for 5 weeks and wont see him for another 3 yet, if he sees me in a few weeks in maternity clothes he will either phl, run or die of shock

Forgot to say, scooter what a nasty doc you have, change immediately and put in a complaint. They should not be allowed to terrorise emotional pregnant women, i would have dissolved in front of him. You did very well to keep it together

Scooter, if you feel up to it I would really encourage you to make an official complaint about that doctor. Talking to you like that, and giving you totally false info to boot (early scans are of course perfectly possible and often very helpful), is just not acceptable. He obviously needs to learn and if no-one tells him he may go on behaving like that to other women. Please do complain!

I think I probably will complain.He was absolutely outrageous!
The good news however is that have just returned from my early scan and all seems well so far, though of course its early early days yet.Due May 24th for the stats by the way..
Im absolutely starving all the time.I dont think it can be normal to be this hungry..I actualy feel sicker if I dont eat every 15 minutes.I am huge!!

largeginandtonic, is your husband in the army?How come you wont see him for three weeks.Hope you dont mind me asking,i'm intrigued...

Sorry, forgot to add, Nicola, thinking about you and wishing you and baby all the best..

Hello ladies, long time no posting ,i know,but just seem to be sooo busy with everything at the moment and if im not rushing around then i just want to sleep or feel sick, still not really moaning it just reminds me everything is going well [i hope].just going to grab some lunch, i so look foward to mealtimes when i can legitably eat and stop feeling sick lol xx

Hi Mona, welcome to the thread, don?t think you are intruding, you are more than welcome!!!

Scooter, I am really shocked! That is terrible, insensitive behaviour from your dr. I?m not surprised you are so angry. I would report him for that sort of patient care. Like Nicola says, if he treats you this way, he?ll be treating other patients in a similar manner.

MKG, nope, never seen one of them (obviously had to go onto the internet to have a little peek). However, I tend to walk round all baby depts in a bit of a daze, which is good, otherwise I?d spend an absolute fortune. I?ve seen similar gadgets that the baby sits on a seat in the middle of a big plastic ring, but I don?t think they bounce. My DS loved his door bouncer but couldn?t use it for that long as he kept whacking his head into the door frames and getting (understandably) quite upset.

Nicola, my fingers are all crossed for you. Hope tomorrow brings you some good news?.

I?m feeling much better today. I?ve even managed to work all morning without havng to revert to my usual little snooze. Long may this last?.
