jade I feel the same. I feel really down and lonely. Spent most of last night sobbing and don't feel much better today. Have never suffered from feeling like this before never had depression or low moods but I feel so sad, lonely and down I just want to lie in bed all day. I have support from my mum dad sister husband. Then all my extended family care about me and this baby so much and want to be there every step of the way even though there 300miles away...but I think it's because dh is training most evenings for rugby or Is at the gym and then last night stayed at the party at his db til 2 which is fine as they hardly see each other but u feel like I'm just sat in this house all on my own most of the time. Sorry for self indulged post.
ready all the best for tomorrow really hope it's as stress free as can be!

I can't see the Fb link guys

Mrs chatty I know exactly how you feel.. Dp does k1 fighting.. He has a big fight coming up 5th sep and has been on a strict training promgrm me for about 8 weeks now.. He is hardly home.. But because he is cutting weight as well when he is home he is super grumpy.. And he is usually such an immature carefree guy who always cheers me up and makes me laugh.. So I think his bad mood is rubbing off on me as well as not feeling 100 and think I'm feeling worse today as exhausted from yesterday.. Fingers crossed we both feel better soon.. Iv never suffered depression or low mood either.. I thought I was depressed a few months ago but Dr just said I just have a little bit of anxiety which sinse she said that has played on my mind a bit.. Hope you feel better soon..

What's everyone's views on baby monitors? Have them or don't? Just the voice ones or video ones?xx

Hi all. I'm definitely keen on the FB group. I might even be able to keep up with it!

Midwife and consultant for me next week and 20 week scan 7th Sept. Can't wait to see her again at the scan.

I painted our spare room last week and have started buying a few things but want to hold off until after the scan.

As for the bbq's - I've had lots dh loves a bbq and its on any chance he gets. Even in Scotland, in the rain

frozen can you Pm me the link?
Smyth my family are the same our bbq always go ahead no matter tge Scottish weather that's what gazebos are for haha

I can't see the details sheet frozen, can you DM me please?

Jade we're getting one of the video ones. SIL has one and it's brilliant for knowing if they're ok when murmuring and crying without the risk of waking them up by going into the room.
Nephew was playing up something chronic last night, a real little grinch so he was put to bed and we could all hear him screaming for Mama - SIL would have been up and down but the video showed he was just sat in cot having a paddy because he wasn't allowed downstairs to smack people!

Can someone pm me the FB link as well? Ta muchly!

jade we gotta stick in there!! I've just had yet another cry to dh. Need to get myself out of this mood!!!!!

frozen i've added you

Looking at the stats list made me realise i've not seen gouda or joey on for a while - i hope they're ok.

I am having a lovely lazy morning; dh has gone to the tip and food shopping and i have actually managed a lie in! My sons are at their dad's until Friday so it is going to be quiet this week and we will make the most of the free evenings after work by visiting some restaurants we've not been to. I love eating out but find the food restrictions/no wine with meal most testing! And then on Saturday fly to France - i am really looking forward to relaxation time.... it's the last time i have booked off before Christmas so need to make the most of it. Must find kindle charger and download many books before I go.

I've been looking at monitors too - i think i'm going to get the Angelcare AC1100 which is a video monitor. Things have definitely moved on since my very basic Tomy monitor with the boys!

Had loads of parcels yesterday, have nearly got all of the nursery decoration stuff now. So next is Snuzpod and monitor; i made a list i bloody love lists and it was nearly two A4 pages long. It is nice to tick things off, and i don't want to leave everything until the end. And need to think about Christmas too (sorry).... i don't want to be heavily pregnant and faffing with buying and wrapping presents so may have to do what my mum does and start in September and have everything wrapped in October. Also conscious that baby could arrive early!

Hhhhmmmm it sounds like our mix of hormones at the moment is a slightly anxious one again. I have a feeling of impending doom that I can't shake. Hoping that everything is ok at scan on Tues. I was pretty sure I felt some kicks last night, hoofing me towards my left ovary, so felt a bit better after that. Ready I would secretly love to discover a BOGOF deal, but at my IVF clinic they had a really thorough search for embryo no. 2 with no success, so I don't think there'll be a second.

Have remembered that DH is dieting which prob explains some of his tetchiness, we need to have a chat later - I don't want me or baby getting stressed like that.

Melon that meat thermometer is a genius idea. Very professional

sleepy I read your typo as "he lights it every day"

ready hope things go well tomorrow, and that the process supports you as it should.

Back is still in spasm. Physio tomorrow....

Hi ladies how do I pm on here? X

On desktop site at top is a little envelope it's from there I believe frozenblackandwhite good on you enjoy your time off!

Happy to join the fb group too, but can't see a link.

I'm a bit stuck for monitors- we have one for DD as we can't hear her from downstairs. Don't have any plans to get rid of it, but baby will be sleeping in our room for the first however many months so what I really want is two monitors but just one base. Don't think they exist, though!

I've been more relaxed on the alcohol front since the second trimester; mainly because the thought repulsed me before hand. I'm not going over the NHS guidelines but did the same with DD and she appears to be fine!

In other new, I've just bought a bargain on eBay- a Bednest for £45! I'm pretty pleased with that

Frozen there's a link next to each person's post called "message poster"

I've sent you a friend req on fb from my new cat profile!

I've pm a few of u. Can u all pm for fb details. I'm taking my toddler swimming so will deal with more requests later. Have a fab day x

jademarie well done on giving up smoking, my DH finally managed to quite after 20 a day for 10 years in 2011 so I know how hard it is! Have to admit I hate hate hate seeing pregnant women smoking. Even if they only manage to quit for the 9 months they're pregnant, I think it's so selfish not to.

Also I'm with you on the feeling down, but I know mine is because of my anxiety unfortunately. Hormones don't help either surely!

kep Gouda is on another thread and she's fine as far as I know. Haven't seen joey though.

With the FB group would it be easier if we all PM frozen our real names and if possible a link to our FB page, save having to search for everyone?

I seem the only one so far in the fab group with a secret profile. V embarrassed

Blackandwhite I'm not fussed about people seeing my real profile!! Feel like we're all friends here!

I might just get a Facebook account for this group only.. I have no idea what my password or even email address is for my old account which I deactivated about 4 years is! haha.. I don't wanna miss out on any thing going on and I think I will if I don't make a new one.. but I think it will be much better! right I'm off to make one

Ooh and on baby monitors, I've decided on the Angelcare sound and movement monitor. A girl in work said its worth getting a video one, but I'd already decided I didn't need one plus the Angelcare video one is £250 whereas the sound and movement only is £80! I'm happy to just walk up my one flight of stairs to check on the baby rather than relying on a vid monitor

Juniper i have a summer infant video monitor which i love. We have one video monitor screen and two cameras, one in each of the kids room. You can set it so it automaticaly switches between cameras, showing 8 secs of each camera, or can choose to watch one camera or another. It has invaluable for us because we cant hear kids from ourbedroom. I think you can link 4 cameras.

Sorry to hear some of you are feeling down at the mo. I've been feeling pretty flat and low quite often, I think a lot of it has to do with hormones and hopefully it'll pass for everyone

Like you missm I deleted my FB account a few years ago but will attempt to figure out the group thing... Thanks frozen for organising!
