Hello all

Mammyjo so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Loads of hugs to you.

Liath so sorry to hear about your gran, hope you are ok. Loads of hugs to you also.

I can't believe these people that lose or give away other people's things what a cheek.

I had my 16 wk scan last thurs. We only have 16wk scans here! All looking ok at the moment also saw the consultant cos of ds having IUGR amoungst other things last time. He (The consultant) was wonderful. When I saw the mw she said "with any luck he'll discharge you back to my care and won't want to see you til 36wks". Bear in mind ds started having problems at 28wks and was delivered at 34wks, I was really up for a fight

Anyway he said he wanted to keep "tight fetal surveillance (sp) on this baby" his plan which he has written in my notes is as follows

20wk scan after which he wants to see me. Hooray only 4 wks away

He then wants to see me at 26, 28, 32, 34 & 36 wks with regular scans in between I'm so pleased I didn't have to argue with him.

I asked if I still see mw, which I do, so I will now be seeing either mw or consultant every 2wks.

Sorry it's so long I wanted to tell people because I'm so pleased I was really psyched (sp) up for a fight.

Hope everyone ok today.

Meant to put "he HADN'T actually asked me"

Morining all. Sorry but I had a s**t weekend and it is time for a MAJOR moan.
I know the old hormones are going crazy, but I'm just sooooooooooooooo fed up!

I got bloody evil ex wife trying to make me feel like shit, we went to ss2 rugby match, the evil cow has never even turned up for one before, she spent the whole time ignoring me and walking off with DH when I was seeing to DD. And touching himall the time, he had some mud on his bum and she kept rubbing it to get the mud off. BITCH!!!!

(come on love your 44 stop acting like a teenager)

DH was good about it they ended up having a huge argument and then she came out and said "I" had ruined her life.

(hello you have been divorced for 12 years GET OVER IT)

At that point I had to leave my blood was boiling and I would have hit her if had stayed.

Aparently she was in tears and ss2 saw this and assumed that it was because of the twins thing, so he had the shits for the rest of the day and was a rude horrible little B*D, saying things like "you have ruined our family, you have taken my dad away from us I hate you and DD and the F*G twins"

I was in floods of tears and DH this time didn't help he, didn't even say anything to ss2 he just ignored the whole thing because he didn't want to upset the little brat any more than he already was.

Luckily DSS1 stepped up and told his brother a few home truths. This seemed to calm ss2 temper bit.
I however cried the whole way home.

one last peice to this moan is why does no one say "CONGRATULATIONS" when they find out I am having twins it is ALWAYS ("""GASP""") "oh dear thats going to be really hard work!"

(Yeah I am well aware of that thanks alot)

It is getting harder and harder to feel excited and positive about what is going to happen when the babies are born.

Sorry ladies moan over hope your all well. LOL

AngeG · 30/10/2006 10:53

Bugmum how awful for you. I can't believe the incompetance of medical staff. You need a treat now to calm you down

GGF can't believe your dh what a cheek! Make sure you make him make it up to you!

Runnyhabbit has he even apologised or does he just expect everything to be ok? Typical man just pretends everything is ok. Hope your day improves.

AngeG · 30/10/2006 10:56

1becomes3 - sorry you've had such a horrible weekend. Hope your week is better. Loads of hugs to you

runnyhabbit · 30/10/2006 10:58

AngeG - he's a man, so it's unlikely he will apologise, as we all know men are never wrong LOL.

Really need to get on with some work, but honestly cannot be bothered this morning. Just want to be with ds and his nana as they are making stuff for Halloween. Got ds the cutest costume.

mammyjo · 30/10/2006 11:02

1b3, you poor thing, what a vile weekend. Dont get down about the twin thing, it will be wonderful when the time comes. All babies are bloody hard work whether single or multiple!! Its weird how people seem to think they can say what the bloody hell they like when they find out you are pregnant!! I am sure they wouldnt make such insensitive comments most of the time to anyone else.

Wow!! AngeG - Bloody hell - where you actually talking about the NHS there!!!!!? I am soooo impressed - I am soooo glad they are taking you seriously and making all these appointments for you and keeping a good eye on bubs - Fab!! You make that consultant stick to his word now!!!!

1B3 - honey I am sooooo sorry this henious bitch runinedy our w/e - you have enough on your plate atm without all that agro, poor thing! Well Done you for walking away and not getting into a ridiculous fight - you are obviously the adult in this situation. Congratulations!! I for one am sooo pleased that you are having twins - I think it is going to be wonderful lovely and don't you think about what other people think - what matters is how you feel and if you are delighted to be having twins, then so should everyone else and if they are not - they should keep their sticky beaks out IMHO!!!!

Sory for waffle, but I feel for you honey - [[hugs]]

geordiemacminx · 30/10/2006 11:16

Morning all!!!

Mammyjo.. if you dont mind me asking what size are you? I bought two pairs of trousers of ebay that are a 14short arse but are too big.. I could send them to you if they would fit?

1becomes3, you have my sympathies.. DSD still isnt talking to dp. You just need to concentrate on your dd and the little ones. As long as they and you are ok then sod the rest of them!!!!

Dp hadnt shut my car door properly last night so guess who had a flat battery this morning... still at least I didnt have to do anything other than sit in the car while he pushed!!!

Sexonlegs · 30/10/2006 11:16

Morning all.
Mammyjo, I am sorry to hear you are feeling so low. I hope you feel brighter soon. Can't believe your sil either - what gratitude. We lent my dh's cousin a couple of things nearly 3 years ago, and haven't had them back. TBH though I don't want them back - their ds was very sicky!!
Bugmum, cannot get over the incompetence either - especially over something so sensitive.
I had something similar a couple fo weeks ago. I had given in 2 urine samples and the surgery phoned up, starting the conversation with "is it ok to talk at the moment". As you say a heart in the mouth situation as a million things flash in your head. Anyay, they too had not labelled the pots properly and I had to re-do the samples.
GGF - I would have gone mad if that was my dh. I am already hacked off with him as he is inviting people over left right and centre for lunch/dinner, and I really am not in the mood for entertaining. He has invited some friends for New Years Eve to stay a few days. I really like them, but last time I was pg we had friends over for NYE, and they all got blasted, made a total mess of the house, while I lay in bed feeling crap.
He is also talking about a ski-ing trip in March - taking dd with him which is fine, but it is a little close to D day for my liking!

Men just DO NOT THINK!

Sorry, rant over. I am feeling really peed off with dh at the mo as you can probably tell.

Anyway, am at work and need to again pretend to be busy!

Hugs to everyone else on this thread, and hope you are all well.

CaptainDippy · 30/10/2006 11:17

Oooooh, I am 14 + 4 today btw - Super!

Bugmum · 30/10/2006 11:18

CD - I have asked to have the blood taken at the hospital this time, and I am going there in the morning. I think I might have given the surgery nurse a mouthful!

AngeG - Great news about your antenatal care, and quite right too!

GGF I mean to say, How can he think that's okay???

1Becomes3 - my friend has a very ill husband, a lively toddler, and is now pregnant with twins; like you, she gets all the negative comments. When I told my mum about her, she said, 'Now they both have lots to fight for - babies are all the jewels.' Just thought I'd pass that nice thought on

Bugmum · 30/10/2006 11:19

And I am 15+1 - I think a second trimester thread is an excellent idea.

CaptainDippy · 30/10/2006 11:19

You go Bugmum - IMHO - she deserved it!!

"Babies are all the jewels" - Awww, that is soooo nice - yes, definitely worth fighting for!!

Bugmum · 30/10/2006 11:21

Sexonlegs - I think the NHS sometimes need people skills. And as for your DH: far too close to the day. Where do they keep their brains? Oh yeah, forgot - that's how we all ended up on this thread...

Bramshott · 30/10/2006 11:25

I've done the new thread here

Only then my computer went into a go-slow so someone else has probably done it too!!

bubblez · 30/10/2006 11:28

Hello all,

Oh 1becomes3! at evil, jealous ex-wife bitch and co. But at your self control.

Sorry to hear about your gran laith.

Sorry your having a time of it with you sil mammyjo.

OH and ggf give dh a swift slap on the back of his head from all us mnetters for being so inconsiderate.

Well DD has the runs so potty training is out of the question for now. Having to take her to the docs in ten mins as she has had it for a week and nothing I do seems to help. Now she has a bad nappy rash to top it all off, poor baby can't walk properly and cry's everytime I change her bum... I just hope the docs can help. Cos I feel so helpless and for her.

CD well done on your brave step into the world of potty training. As soon a lo is better I will be joining you with the pooey/pissy floor and clothes.

Have my next scan on the 21st of nov and will find out what sex the baby is. Oh and on wednesday have the downs and spinal abifida blood tests so fingers crossed all is well with bean.

17weeks

CaptainDippy · 30/10/2006 11:30

Can't wait til you join me bubblez - desperately needing some moral support!

Sexonlegs · 30/10/2006 11:33

Oh 1becomes3, I am so sorry I didn't see your post. What a shocking time you have had. I am really sorry and hope that things settle down.

I can't believe so many of us are fed up with their dp's/dh's this morning! Must be something in the air.

I told dh that I thought we had reached rock bottom over breakfast this am. We haven't really (been much worse!) but I feel like I am living with a lodger at the mo. No communication between us, no interest in what each other is doing/feeling. Quite sad really.

xx

weeonion · 30/10/2006 11:37

morning folks! workign art hi=ome this morning - cue loads of cuppas whilst still in my pyjamas - bliss. caught up with you all - a mix of weekends then for us all. heres hoping this week of our 2nd trimeseter goes well for us all . xoxoxo

GGF - u must be a saint! i'd have had a hissy fit the size of a mountain - i hope the payback is well planned..

bugmum - really sorry about yr blood test - its awful when we have the place so much faith / trust in the so called experts and then they balls up even the most basic of taks like labelling a tube. i know they might be over worked/ understaffed but come on..........

runnyhabbit - hope u r able to focus now babe. my boss ( a man!) is truly awful, my team just laugh at him now. he has no memory to speak of so i put everything in an email ie "further to the converstation we have just had over the kettle can i confirm that you told me i wasnt to bother with ensuring the mailshot went out before 12pm and that you would assume full responsibility for it...."

angeg - well done on getting what you wanted babe re the hospital. glad to see you didnt have to put up a huge fight. a bit at all yr scans. we only get 1 here - the rest we have to pay for....

bramshott - snap on the next scan date!!

1becomes3 - what a bloody awful day for you. its shocking what people think they can say / do to others. felt v v for you. hope yesterday was a better one for you. twins are fab - as you know we have themm in our family and when they were born - all those who focused on the hard work were teh first to "ooh" & "aah" at the 2 bundles. i am of u babe with 2 beans. xoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxo

mammyjo - dont know what happened for you over the weekend but hope it works out ok. xoxoxoxoxox
