Morning!

Toilet Paper Tuesday - 9 and a bit (still!) although trousers feel a lot tighter.

Welcome Redkenny and try not to worry!

Not got much to say just dreading going trick or treating as its really cold here and keeps raining. I've told them we are not staying out long.

Hello ladies,

just measured and am still 7&3/4 sheets. Not quite sure how as i feel huuuuuuuge.

It is taking me ages to catch up on all the chat as i cant seem to get on line at work at the mo. ANd then by the time i have finished catching up i cant actually remember who has said what and cant think of anything exciting to say.

Feeling sick STILL why wont it just bugger off! Think i will watch Eastenders and Holby City (recording both as ds is late going to bed) and then might climb the wooden hill to bedfordshire myself.

Trick or treating all over, huge success for once. Love living on a naval patch, so safe for that kind of thing. There has to be some benefits to having a hubby who is away all the time, i may list them to make myself feel better, please induldge me am lonely and sad.
#1 family events great (except no Dh)
#2 Dont have to clean untill he comes home
#3 Dont have to shave legs till he comes home
#4 Can chat on MN uninterupted
#5 Can eat peanutbutter on toast only an hour after tea without anyone seeing
Hmmm have run out and just started thinking of the cons, fear that may go on and on though. Oh poo wish he was home, quite like smooth legs and a clean house.

Well my ds's had a great time trick or treating. This year ds1 went off on his own with 4 of the other children in our street and he came back with loads. In my group there was another adult and 7 lo's including cute ds2 dressed up as a spider. We only walked around the block this year whereas last year we were all out for over 2hrs, it was just too cold tonight plus we had a party to go to. Last year we had trouble geting ds2 to go up to the doors, this year he was the first through the gates and i didnt have to remind him to say thanks once. In one of the houses a teenager opened the door dressed as Scream and the kids just stood there in silence not sure what to make of it. Ds2 was once again at the front, he might have ben a bit scared but it didnt stop him from opening his bag ready for sweets though
Both boys were tucked up in bed by 9, ds2 didnt want to take his costume off so i ended up changing him once he had dropped off, luckily he had been wearing his pj's underneath (not that anyone knew). I forgot about it was tuesday today and as i have been pigging out at the party all night i will leave measuring myself until the morning.

Im sorry for making you all fancy sausage rolls, they are nice though. I managed to stop myself pinching any until the party but then once the kids had all eaten i tucked in. I personally dont see anything wrong with them the same with fruit shoots in moderation (pebble runs and hides) As long as people have a balanced diet and dont live on them.

Redkennedy, firstly welcome to the thread and congratulations. When i was pg with ds1 i didnt actually show any symptons until i was about 20wks ie still have AF. During that time i was almost constantly drunk (i was a student ) When i found out i was pg i was terrified i had damaged my baby. Even though the scan didnt show up any problems i still found it hard to relax but he turned out to be fine. I understand your fear, i lived it for 4months but try not to let it get you down. Talk over your fears with your midwife, im sure she can out your mind at rest. I know many people who never knew they were pg until they were about 8wks and they had been livimg life as normal ie drinking, having x-rays etc and their babies turn out fine. Unless it is a planned pregnancy no one can say 100% that they havent drank, eaten or done something they shouldnt since day one of conception.

I think i had better shut up now, this post has just gone on and on, sorry about that ladies. Anyway goodnight, hope you all sleep well

Well I had ultrasound 2 today. My bladder wasn't toally full so I had the vaginal probe (Not a bad experience by the way) This tech said that she though I had a fibroid, but too soon to tell and my ob will go over the results with me in two weeks. I'm a little scared because my mom had a fibroid which led to her hystarectamy. The tech said that the baby is not in danger because the "whatever it is because no one agrees" isn't close to it. So she think that this pregnancy should be fine. It would just be nice to know what exactly is going on so I don't have to worry.

I do have a pic of the baby. It looks pretty good for 10 weeks. Maybe now dh will really believe I'm pregnant. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Hi MKG. As long as there's no danger to your pregnancy, then I'm sure the fibroid can be dealt with later. They don't always lead to a hysterectomy. I know a few people who have had them removed in a very simple op and have had no further problems. Perhaps your mom's wasn't found until late in her life, when it had a chance to cause problems? And medicine has moved on so much in such a short time, perhaps they thought then that a hysterectomy was the ONLY way to remove a fibroid. Just making guesses here, but don't panic is the thing.

Morning Ladies, yup the inital is funny esp as my first name begins with S !!! so im SMelling ,so is my sil and so was DH sister til she had the sense to marry, and i beleive he has 2 aunts who are SMelling as well, trust me the baby wont be tho thats why its nickname is WALTER as in WALTER MELLING[watermelon]PMSL, i thought it was hysterical so do DH and my folks, DH wernt that amused lol ,we got our scan tonight ,really excited and a bit scared as well,im sure it will all be wonderful,apart from having to pay £200.00 for the priviledge xx

That's slightly unfortunate. Not quite as bad a certain P. Staines that I know...

Godo morning everyone and thankyou all for the kind words of reassurance. I shall try and put my worry beads away for now, and just enjoy the motion sickness I seem to have all day long. Someone farted on the bus this morning and I couldnt cope so had to get off and freeze my tits off and walk it to work. The smell thing at the moment is verging on the ridiculous, I can smell each persons aftershave, toothpaste, perfume, fags (the worst) BO, you name it I can spot it at 50yds. Im sure it could come in handy for something, maybe I could offer my services to the police or the army or something.

hello, haven't got too much to say (makes a change) just wanted to say Hi as I didn't get on yesterday.

Welcome redkennedy. lol at the madge thing!

Good luck with your scan mummymelling tonight and try not to worry for 2 weeks MKG.

Oh one last thing, I think toilet paper tuesday was supposed to be measurerd belly button to bellybutton. Just to clear that up for everyone.

Just found someone on the June thread is having twins!!!!!! Bless!! Still time for a few of us yet who haven't had a scan. And you do hear of them missing a twin on an early scan for all of you who think you are safe. LOL

Its true moomin, when i had the twins they didnt pick up the triplet (that i lost at 15 weeks) till i was 13 weeks and i had 3 scans before that. It was hiding behind the other 2, horror or horrors. Like ive said before (with evil chuckle) i cant wait for twins to show up here, hee, hee. Im allowed to be evil ive had to do it

Was so good this morning only had a piece of toast and then soup n bread for lunch, but then ate a donut. Will the torment never end, might just say to hell with it and eat for britain, trouble is i have a yummy new husband this time round

Dont worry MKG the first section i ever saw while training was a woman who had a massive fibroid in her uterus alongside the baby. They just cut it out while doing the section, it was nearly half the size of her 7lb baby (such a cute baby)Im sure it will be ok.

Thanks ladies,

I know that I am getting myself worked up over what could possible be nothing. I google fibroids in pregnancy and I know that there really isn't anything to worry about if I have one. I don't think I do because I don't have any of the symptoms that go along with them. I think the tech just told me what she thought before she had a chance to really look. She freaked me out a little. My mom scared me because that was the first thing she said when I told her. She said hers was so large that when they tried to do a d & c if they had cut it she could have bled to death. Nice huh. I wouldn't be so worried except that tumors run in my family. My great-grandmother had one, my grandmother died of uteran cancer, my aunt had a fibroid when she was pregnant and had the baby at six months (she is doing so well at 14 by the way) and my mother had her hysterectamy at 36. She always told us to have our babies young because if we wait we might have problems.

I'm sorry to rant, and in my mind I know everything is fine, but with my family history I can't help but wonder and worry a little.

Hello, just popping in from June 2007 to say thanks for the kind comments and offers of help from you guys in the May group! Although my due date is in June, my ob/gyn is fairly certain it'll move forward to May as it's twins (I have to keep saying it out loud so I'll get used to the idea!!), so I might pop in from time to time if that's okay? These are my first, so I'm pretty clueless on most things, but this afternoon I discovered a miraculous cure for morning sickness: toblerone. I always knew that chocolate was my friend...

Of course you are remembered, Welcome back megglevache, you are not gate crashing. Good to hear from you again. Good luck for the scan on Saturday, thats an odd day, is it a private one?

MKG 2 weeks is going to be agonisisng. Please try not to worry. A friend told me the other day whilst confiding in her my fears of this prgnancy feeling different and that I'm freaked by the prospect of twins (although, I wouldn't mind it still freaks me a little) that I read too much and know too much. She's probably right, I think the more recearch I do into these feelings, symptoms etc the more I freak myself over probably nothing. It is hard not to worry though, I'm sure!

lg&t I quite often, think oh sod eat what you want and enjoy every second, but then I remind my self that the more I put on whilst pg the harder I am going to have to work to get it off after. Sure your new dh loves you for you how ever you are anyway.

Hi marylou, Good point never thought about the liklyhood of you being early. You must be so thrilled and I'm sure we will all be delighted to hear about your progress. How many weeks are you at the moment?

God its crazy how quickly I can have a moodswing at the moment. This morning I was joking and jovial. This afternoon Im convinced that something awful has happened to my space prawn. My tits are no longer sore, and they seem to not be so full or taut anymore. I have actually lost 5 pounds (but hey maybe thats just from not boozing and eating properly). Got my scan on Nov 9th and all (!) I had been worrying about was either m/c before, or finding out there were defects.
Today though Im managing to worry about the fact that its no longer alive!
God someone give me a slap and tell me to get a fcuking grip, please!

Get a grip redkennedy!!!!!! well you asked for it.

No seriously it is so easy to freak but their is nothing any of us can do about our freaking out, so we should all try to stop it now. We can't change anything, what will be will be and I'm sure all this stress can't be doing our lo's any good. They'll grow up being the biggest worriers on earth.

Thanks moom, I'm trying not to think too much and I am reading too much. It's just hard when people say "well it might be this but wait two weeks to find out". I'm not going to talk about this anymore.

Ds has a really bad cold. His nose is all runny and almost every hour he woke up screaming because he would inhale and get flem in his throat. I got up to spend five minutes, put baby vapor rub on him and put him back in his crib. He looks so tired today. Anyway, I'm exhausted today.

Redkennedy, if you could read back on all our threads since we all conceived, and it would take you ages believe me so dont do it but you would see that all of us have had these fears. Its only natural, afterall until we reach 12wks and see our LO's on screen it all feels so unreal, the only proof we have that we are pregnant is our symptons and if they tail off we suddenly go into a mass panic. Its just another joy of being pregnant

I desperately need my scan date to come through. I was bored earlier and went looking on various websites that had info about how to tell you are carrying twins and i seemed to match every criteria so now im bricking it. I know ive probably read to much into it but i wont rest until i know for sure how many is in there. I would much rather moomimin was the proud owner of the May twins

My dh found out today that he may only have his job for another 6months and thats if hes one of the lucky ones. Thats all we need, he will be out of work just in time for when the baby comes along. If things go really bad he may be out of work before christmas. At the moment all he can do is wait and see what happens.

MKG talk about it if you want to especially if it makes you feel better, after all thats what we are all here for!

I have one word for you pebblemum. THANKS

Thats ok moomimin, thought you would be happy with that

Great to hear from you Megglevache,glad you are ok. The scan wait is horrid i feel for you. I too have had some bizzare dreams, lots involve my Dh being unfaithful, sure its just the separation thing doing overtime in my head. What are yours about?

Marylou so glad you poeed in to see us, please come back soon i promise not to scare you too much (hee hee)

Moomin was so lovely of you to say that about Dh loving me anyway, im sure he would. Its just the hideous body image we create about ourselves (or is it just me?!)

Redkennedy there is no get a grip in prg, we all turn in to blubbering, hormonal, slightly detached from reality wrecks. You are not alone

Pebble the twin thing is becoming an obsession, im, im thrilled Cant wait for your scan, can i come too?

Have been feeling ok all day and now suddenly feel like i have yuk cold coming, noooooooooo!Saw midwife this avo she was nice, took my blood (DD nearly keeled over, no doctor in the making there!) She said i felt big for dates and found the heartbeat straight away! I said the scan put me a week back and she just said hmmmm scans are not always right Dont i know it

Am off to eat my yum tea now sweet potato, lemon chicken and broccoli. Of course am trying not to think about the 2 donuts i ate today

That was popped not poeed Marylou!

So many typos, sorry

Like my new guy fawkes name?
