Welcome to yet another instalment of TTC#1 grads. Warning! This thread moves fast so blink and you may miss a page or three!

All are welcomed with open arms and TMI whether you come from our sister thread TTC#1 or just want a safe and friendly place to share your journey.

we have ladies from all stages of pregnancy from T1ers, trying to go cold turkey on their POAS addiction, to T2ers wondering where the heck their pregnancy glow got to, to T3ers wondering if that funny feeling is the start of labour or just a fart building.

So jump on the boat, join the pink or blue baby battle and enjoy TTC#1 Grads thread #8!

Only two days left potatoes! Hope your feeling better today.

How're you today shelbta?

Shelb the pressure might actually be baby's head... Since turning round Potato is constantly pushing on things down there

Canters your journey sounds like a bit of a pain. Glad you've arrived safely now though.

Leonie we voted first thing this morning I think the result could go either way, exciting!

Soda good luck with the scan

Feeling much better today. I'm still a bit hurt but I've got a bit more perspective. These people don't really matter and I'm not going to see them for 10 months if ever again. Plus, I work in projects so there's a good chance I won't be working with any of them when I get back.

Sat waiting for my consultant appointment. I'm the first appointment at 9am, how late do you think the appointment will be

Have you been in yet potato? I'm guessing an hour. If I manage to get first appt my wait is usually an hour. After that it's usually about 2.

Soda I nearly died of shock when I was called in 6 minutes late that must be a record!

All was good, blood pressure is the best it's been (I wonder why)

potato mortgage acceptance and leaving your basted work colleagues behind is obviously good for you!

OH decided to come to bed at 1am after catching up on his programmes and drinking 7 cans so he snored all bloody night I had to be up at 5.30 so I'm exhausted. I'm overly emotional today and cried on my way to work because the bay watch theme tune was on the radio. Fucks sake!

canters have a lovely time! I should be in Greece right now, too I'm still a tad salty about it.

miley dh came in and woke me up, then farted all night. He fucking stank! It was bogging. He was worse the night before but when i actually woke me up because I was wretching in my sleep! No jury would convict! His days a numbered! So I feel for you.

Don't forget to vote today guys!

Hi ladies, hope you are all well!

Lots to catch up on. Still enjoying our hols though I burnt a bit yesterday despite spending most of the day in the shade and covered in factor 50.

For ladies who are travelling soon - the plane journey massively bunged me up, so beware of that possibility. No poo from Sunday to today, but I've been force feeding myself prunes at breakfast and they have done the trick.

Shelb, hope you are ok. Have you been discharged yet? Was the bleeding connected to the uti? And holy crap on baby's head being engaged

Canters and Planet, hope you both have amazing times on your hols.

Indi, you look incredible!

Potato, I would be hurt by that too. I hate being the centre of attention so would be mortified if they did a presentation for me or anything (common in our office), but it would be nice to get a fully signed card and a nice goodbye.

Re knickers and bras - I'm just wearing my usual m&s bikini knickers, they sit nicely under bump. For bras, I got measured at bravissimo and then bought four from m&s which I am just rotating. My boobs are huge now, so I needed to go up a few sizes!

Re bum holes - there will be no massaging of mine, either by me or OH No doubt I'll regret it but I just can't bring myself to think about massaging there!

Re DTD, miley, four times a week is impressive! I'm not massively up for it at the minute, OH is more than before though. That said, we DTD the other night and then it's all I could think about, seems that afterwards I am like a woman possessed and just want more

Is anyone else in T3 constantly going to the toilet? I'm drinking a lot of water on holiday to try and stay hydrated but am literally weeing every 30 minutes! It's ridiculous! Don't think it's a UTI as no burning or anything.

Pink yep, to constant weeing... I'm starting to think I should just move everything I need to the toilet and stay there! And at night I'm shocked if I'm not up 4 or 5 times

Sorry to hear you ladies have been kept awake by OHs. Here it's me keeping OH awake as I have a habit of throwing gooseberry the pregnancy pillow at him every time I turn over or go for a wee

I'm supposed to be working from home today but I just want to look at sewing patterns and nap

Afternoon

Miley - ha, the bay watch tune. there's nothing worse that working tired when preggo. OH risked his life yesterday - I basically butt shuffled to get across the bed, he went: 'wow that was ladylike'.

Waves to everyone!

Pink - yes getting better thanks.

If we're talking about husbands nearly getting murdered ...Dh said "latch on" during sex yesterday. I was nearly sick on his face, we'd been talking about breastfeeding but there was NO excuse for shit like that!

Oh my god stark!!!! What was he thinking?! Ha.

X

That is a record potato!

Glad you're feeling better shelb

Just had my 28 week growth scan and everything is looking good! All pretty much 50th percentile except the head which is bigger so really pleased

Am late to the new thread party!

Hope you are all having a good week am having a mentally busy one yet again work is manic and had things on away from home each evening too. About to go to NCT on my own as OH is at year 11 prom then I am expected to show my face there afterwards. Then he is off on a school trip all weekend. And I can't poo. 6 days and I am so bloated and yucky feeling I cant eat and just feel sick. Proper stroppy today haha!

Hahahaha stark, that's made me proper laugh.
Great news about the scan soda

Hi ladies it is so nice to read your posts with lots of exciting things happening.
I am finding the first trimester boring and full of worry

In bathroom having a mini melt down! OH asked if I wanted to go back to Dubai to see his friend and wife in July but it's 40 odd degrees, not to mention the fact that it's illegal to be pregnant and not married and if anything was to go wrong I'd have to show proof of marriage before they'd even entertain treating me and I could get into serious trouble! So I've said I don't feel I could do the trip. I've told him to still go as it'll be the last chance for a while so he's looking at booking up now and I really don't want him to go and leave me but I don't want to stop him. Major hysterical crying meltdown in 3...2...1..

Managed to pull myself together. OH asked if I wanted him to stay home and I managed a smile and told him if he wanted to go it was ok. Because it is. It's only 4 nights and I'm being utterly ridiculous. Bloody hormones and tiredness.

soda brilliant news about your scan

stark Christ your DH is bloody brave!

Tell him to stay home or to whisk you down to the registry office, Miley!

Aww miley! I felt the same when oh went away with the lads a bit ago - you do right not going in that heat etc, maybe think of it as his last blast?and say he can take you to a spa (if thats your thing) to say thank you to you for your understanding, generosity, and kind nature!!

X

Miley, you're not being ridiculous at all!

I had no idea it's illegal to be pregnant without being married over there. That's crazy. And it definitely makes sense for you not to go - if anything happened, it could be so scary (more so than it would be already!).

Hopefully he's back quickly and gives you some relaxing time by yourself

Thanks ladies, I think I'm just over reacting because I'm exhausted. lisa you're absolutely right and knowing my luck I'd go into premature labour! He doesn't know I'm upset about it and is still humming and harring about leaving me. I do want him to go and have a good time but I also want to go and have a good time!

Right. Self centred post over!

ever I can't stress enough how jealous I am that you're finding the first trimester boring! You may just be one of the lucky ones

Miley I'd be exactly the same as you. I think you're right not going though.

I am addicted to sugar. I can't stop. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

indi you're absolutely not the only one. 2 cookies and a magnum here today.

Strawberries and fresh cream, 4 viscount biscuits, jelly tots and 2 funsize dairy milks I've been terrible all week!

I want a magnum now miley
