due MARCH 2007-thread no ?????

[divastrop]

i cant see a new thread so i thought id start another one!

Lunar / Amie, enjoy your swimming tonight!

Rainbowgirl will be thinking of you today when you are moving, I hope you can get through it without too much stress.

Jay congrats on your "anniversary"! Are you doing anything to celebrate? Dh and I deliberately got married on the 4th anniversary of when we first met so we only have one anniversary to celebrate now!

Evenhope nice to see you again! I had a brief moment of "omg I'm going to have a baby and I know nothing about babies" when Callie had hers but that moment of has faded a little now!

TheBlonde if you feel up to going, why not? It will be the last chance you'll get in a long while so grab it while you can!

Piffle I don't know whether I will be early or late having no previous form in these matters, but my "gut" feel is that I'll be late... (couldn't tell you why on earth I think that though) Who are tidyjane & cath, don't recognise the names?

Eids you're probably nearest to me then!!

Hi everyone. After a manic few days, all my stuff is now on a container and winging its way back to England . Predictably it was not straightforward.... we had an 8 1/2 hour power cut the day before the container arrived , so all the last minute washing etc I had planned went to pot. Yesterday a team of 4 removal men arrived... one when sick and another fell down an open drain and hurt his leg . Anyway it's all done now, Flyin back on Sunday. Rainbow - hope your move went smoothly and that you got some help.

Stretchmarks - well - all part of motherhood if you ask me........

Just looked at stats thread - Rosy - our boys are due the same day. Apart from the suprises, boys seem to outnumber girls 2:1

OH WOW!!!!! I have just read a bit further down and seen that Callie had her baby! Wow, I've got goosebumps all over and am crying! I am so happy to hear that the baby is healthy and that Callie is doing OK, it must have been such a shock for her!
Does anyone have anymore news?

Hi All, I don't suppose you remember me?

I was on the very first due in March thread, but have had a bit of a nightmare time, and didn't want to bog you all down with my tales of woe, so sloped off and have been a lurker since

If it's ok with you all I would like to join in again? Magpie.

I have added my stats to the new stats thread.

(14th March (girl))

Welcome back Magpie, nice to have you on board again

Hi Magpie

Tales of woe are very welcome here
Tales of joy too
Dr Who talk has been kicked off onto another thread though

How are you doing now?

Hello 1973magpie, I wasn't here at the beginning I'm afraid but joined at about 20 weeks and they've not been able to get rid of me since

Laidback can't believe what a catalogue of errors you've had so far with the removal... if karma is anything to believe the rest of the move should go incredibly smoothly!!

Hi Kitty / TheBlonde,

Thanks for the speedy replies

I think I was suffering from antenatal depression during the first half of my pregnancy, I had to take anti-emetics to stop the horrendous morning sickness, then I got SPD at about 17 weeks, and have just found out that I have gestational diabetes too (joy!!)

However, I am now resigned to the fact that I am not designed to have children (am certain this one will be my last), and am actually very cheery about the whole thing

As for Doctor Who, I have only recently started watching it, as it always used to scare me witless , and I have to say the episode with the tv and the gas masks was very creepy....

Hi Moss, I was only around for a short while, I was all fed up and paranoid, so decided to be a lurker instead

You all sounded like you were having so much fun that I thought I'd brave joining in again

Yes I remember you Magpie, sorry to hear you've been having troubles there's a few people around who've been struggling a bit too.

Laidback I had noticed we were both due on the 11th! I've been 5 days late with each of my other three but I'm not presuming anything about this one! You sound like a trooper managing your move so well, hope you get a well deserved rest soon!
And you too rainbow!

I had one busy day yesterday and today I'm a wreck!

I am thinking about Callie too, we'll all be in a dither again when she comes back on to tell us about having her baby! Has anyone had a prem baby before? she might be in shock a bit?

I am now totally confused about what to get for baby to sleep in.

We should update this a bit....

Welcome back Magpie, sorrry you've had a tough time, but great to have you back!

Well, I've just updated the list so I'll leave you to add yourself to it!

1973magpie, it does sound like you've been having a rough ride of it. And then just to add icing on the cake people say things like, "so when you gonna start blooming then?"

I was out on a bit of a limb with my DW obsession so I started another thread here and actually discovered that some people are even more geeky than I am. I showed dh actually. He just shook his head and tutted.

Magpie you are certainly not the only one to have depression! I, for one, was totally depressed but thankfully mine shifted after the first trimester, and coming on here definately helped me!

Where have half the people on this list gone? I occasionally look to see if they are still posting on other threads. i wonder why they have left this on.

I'm v, cross with dp , during a heated discussion, alright row, yesterday he told me that I had a small life. Lovely, bring up 5/6 of his kids full time, having given up my career etc and he thinks my life is small. Actually I don't think my life is small at all, he obviously does and that's a BIG problem.

for you, what on earth does that mean that your life is small???

Because going out to work for a petty-minded boss with horrible colleagues sitting in the same chair every day staring out the window at the same fecking view when you're not on the computer or telephone, trying to make money and hit targets, working stupid hours for silly money, yeah, that's "big" is it?

Sorry for butting in - I was on here when this whole thing kicked off too, but you all talked to much and I couldn't keep up so I gave up.

If you don't mind, I know some of you suffered/are suffering from ante-natal depression and someone has posted on the pregnancy thread asking for help as she's new to MN and feeling very low about being pg. I just wondered if anyone fancied popping over to offer some support??

Nova 29+1 with a surprise

Kitty, my life is full but small as in, the nature of having babies is that you get very focused in every way on this important task. Maybe he feels his life is small?...people often do that, they accuse others of what is their issue???

There is a great big world out there to explore but just right now isn't a good moment We can do everything but certainly not all at the same time! Can you hire a temperory replacement for him and send him on retreat? Holy Island, Taize or ....Corrymeela Ballycastle! (NI)

Rosy, almost in the same breath he muttered something along the ,lines of people like him living in the real world, dealing with big problems etc. Sure my life isn't about making millions and it's focused, but most people's jobs are. He couldn't do my job.
What has upset me is his attitude to what I do. He obviously doesn't consider it to have the same worth as his. Up until now i also believed we had equal value in his eyes, now i see very clearly that we don't .

Nova I'll have a look, do come and join us again

had to get in at the end of the thread! maybe one day we will get broadband (we've finally got the laptop) and then I can chat to you all some more.
sorry, I've only flicked through the last few messages but have been lurking a bit as well.

How is callie boy doing? hope she and little one are doing ok. Is there a separate thread?

hope you all had a good Xmas and new year. We're ok. Baby seems fine and kicking well right now, very squirmy. Over Xmas we saw lots of little newborns and it was sooo cute to think that's more or less what's inside my tummy. I held one friends baby and it was like I could feel all the same bits and she squirmed just the same way (does that make any sense?)

My pelvis is still a bit wobbly but not too bad and I can walk ok, it's just not very glam or comfy. I've got an exercise ball in the sales and it is so brill, I watch telly leaning over it every night.

all the smellies I got for Xmas have made me skin go rashy and itchy so that's not so good back on the sensnitive skin stuff for me

mum had her lymph gland out over Xmas and we're waiting for the result to see if the melanoma has started spreading. consultant was optimistic it looked ok.
gdad is not doing very well (he has motor neurone) and seems quite depressed. I wish I could go to see him more

lots of other random news but don't want to overwhelm you all! anyway, you can see why I don't get much chance to post stuff these days.
hope you're all doing well

My dh is forever saying totally sexist things. Honestly he's like a charicature of himself sometimes! But I don't give a fart! Ignore him! That's what I say (he's only a man )

Rosy, is it an asian thing , this sexist crap or do all men do it?

Morocco, great to hear from you and best wishes for your mum and Grandad.

Kitty, it is dh's culture but irish men are similar. It has it's advantages though, dh expects me to be a 'woman'... hormonal, curvy and incapable of providing for myself...what's not to like And with my upbringing I am probably equally sexist! I think men are 2 dimensional compared to women and much as I love them, can't do without my girly friends and sisters!

Novadandypowder, I never got antenatal depression, can't really help I'm afraid, but I did feel worried that I wasn't as elated as I expected to feel.

Morocco nice to hear from you again! Hope everything's okay with your Mum, and your Grandad.

I suffer from the same problem with sensitive skin and allergies, normally it's not too bad but since becoming pg I haven't been able to wear perfume and especially on my face I have to be really careful!

Rosy my dh sounds very different from yours, almost opposite! He expects me to be every bit as emotionally resiliant if not more so than him! However, I do sometimes wonder how he's going to be when I am at home with a baby all the time...

Still if he even dared to say anything negative it wouldn't be me he'd have to answer to... his Mum is like one of the original bra burners!!!
