hi everyone, hope your all well

greedy, nice to have you back!

well i ended up going for a scan yesterday, because i had such a feeling of dread, my stomach had dissapeared and all my symptoms of pg had gone, so i tried to get in with gp, no luck, then rung the antenatal clinic, just to see if i could speak to a mw and they where really nasty and told me 'not a chance', so i ended up ringing the epu in a state, crying, and they let me go in, everything was ok and baby's growth was spot on, but i got chastised slightly as 'too many scans is bad for the baby, due to the heat' and i need to see my gp, if i'm having problems.

well i know that, but i can't bloody get in!

so i feel slightly better in myself today, although i have had to go and see a lady from the womans aid to try and get help with a house move, due to xp threats, so i need to log this with the police and a solicitor.

oh what i wouldn't give for a quiet life at the moment, although its possible i am blowing everything out of proportion.

anyway, hope everyone is good, and the morning sickness..etc is starting to ease off for those that are suffering x

J20BABY · 15/03/2007 14:53

i mean log the threats, not 'this' whatever it might be

J20BABY · 15/03/2007 17:04

OO i'm such a thread killer, sorry!

just felt good to write it down, won't happen again.

Mumpbump · 15/03/2007 17:06

Pleased you got some reassurance J20. Sounds like you've got an awful lot to deal with at the moment. It would be hard enough without pg hormones to add to the mix... Good luck with the legal aid!

KezzaG · 15/03/2007 17:09

J20 please dont think that! I just didnt write this afternoon as I have actually been.....wait for it....working!

this is exactly where you should write it down. I am full of admiration for how you are coping with your situation, my hormones are all over the place so god knows what yours are like.

I also think pg women with concerns do find it hard to see the right people and to be taken seriously. Im glad you eventually got a scan and all is ok.

I hope you have something nice planned for the weekend to take your mind off it all. Ooh in fact its mothers days isnt it, cups of tea in bed all round then, even if we have to make them ourselves.

Mumpbump · 15/03/2007 17:11

KezzaG - making tea ourselves - isn't that the reality of it?!?

J20BABY · 15/03/2007 17:17

thanks all, think i'm feeling a bit sorry for myself!

i don't have my dd on a weekend so don't know what i'll be doing, possibly sleeping!

hope you all have nice sundays, any effort made would be nice, wouldn't it x

Mumpbump · 16/03/2007 09:50

Morning all!! And what a beautiful morning it is!!

I shall be picking up dh on Sunday from Heathrow, but might manage to see my mother in the morning if she is out of hospital. Typically, ds now has a temperature so I have to come up with some way of ensuring there is no contact between them even though dh is not around to look after him while I go to see her... Oh the joys of motherhood, hey??

fifitheflowertotslayer · 16/03/2007 10:47

morning everyone!!

hows everyone today?

got my scan appointment yesterday,for next wednesday at 2.10.also got my booking visit on sunday.mw is coming here so dh wil have to get up and get the kids ready and out before she comes!!!couldnt cope with trying to concentrate on mw with 5 kids running around my ears!!!

starting to feel really well now.every now and again i feel queasy,but havent been sick for quite a few days now.yippppeeeee!!!

am really looking forward to seeiing my baby blob on the screen,more of a reassurance really!i still dont "feel" pg,despite having ad morning sickness,and ever growing belly,i guess im worried that it'll turn out that im not actually preggers!!!ive also been feeling some shifting about going on inside.i know its too early to be the baby (thats if my dates are right) but every now and again i feel a little movement inside.cant explain it,but feels like a little flick from inside.am wondering if its just muscles moving about,or even wind!!feels odd when it happens.its really gentle,so if it turns out i am further on,then maybe it is the baby!

anyway,hope you all have a great weekend,got bil coming to stay for the weekend so doubt i'll get on here at all.

fifitheflowertotslayer · 16/03/2007 10:48

oh and happy mothers day to you all!!!!xxxxx

Mumpbump · 16/03/2007 10:49

I think I can feel the baby moving!!! I didn't feel ds until he was about 19 weeks, so not sure, but I think it might be...

fifitheflowertotslayer · 16/03/2007 10:50

oooh mumpbump!!!is it feeling little little flicks every now and again??

am getting excited now that maybe i am feeling it move!!!

fifitheflowertotslayer · 16/03/2007 10:54

when i was having dd1 (baby number 2) i had hyperemisis and was in hospital from 10 weeks to 14 weeks.iat 11 weeks i asked the mw if it was too early to feel the baby move and she said that if you have had babies before you know what it feels like so it is possible to feel it earlier than first time pregnancies.

so maybe we are feeling them have a wriggle!!(still wondering about muscles and wind though!!)

Hillbilly · 16/03/2007 11:16

Hi everyone - lovely new thread and love the name

Must have a catch up. Happy Mothers Day everyone

Mumpbump · 16/03/2007 11:23

Fifi - I had funny bubbly feeling before a few weeks ago which I definitely put down to gas despite my wishful thinking, but this is quite different and remind me strongly of what it was like to feel ds move. I just really think it might be movements. Hope so! It would be massively reassuring to be able to feel the baby move from time to time.

greedyforbabies · 16/03/2007 14:08

i cant wait to feel my little babba moving! it is so reassuring isnt it? didnt feel ds till 22 weeks though and dd till about 19 wks so could have some wait yet!!!

j20 - i havent been keeping up with whats going on with everyone, but whatever it is you are going through it sounds like hassle you dont need!

we are currently planning an extension which i have a feeling will be enough stress to push me over the edge when it all starts! as long its over by oct 5th and we have our extra bedroom i will be happy!!

think my dh has forgotten it is mothers day! a few subtle hints might be in order i think! mind you i did forget fathers day last year (not for my own dad, just for my dh! whoops!)

aprilmeadow · 16/03/2007 15:09

Just wanted to pop in and see how the lovely Verso is doing.... Pop in to the April '05 thread and let us know how beanie is doing. My bean only has 7 weeks left to grow before its being served an eviction notice

Congrats to you all x

ejt1764 · 16/03/2007 15:40

Afternoon all ...

greedy - good luck for the scan on WEdnesday ...

J20 - I'm glad that bean is well and that you're getting somewhere with keeping you and dd safe. Don't worry about writing stuff down - I've told you lot things I've never breathed a word of except to my closest friend!

fifi - hiya - good luck with your booking appt / scan / bil!!

As for Mothers' Day - dh has been under strict instructions not to make ds get me a card - a pretty picture drawn by him will be plenty! I've never done Mothers' Day, other than as a church thing - my mum was always adamant that she didn't want anything on Mothers' Day - in fact, it's the only day of the year I'm allowed to be nasty to her. I shall carry on our family tradition of phoning her in the middle of the Archers to wish her Happy Mothers' Day! All the women get flowers in church on Sunday, and the Sunday School make presents for their mums, which I think is lovely! Mind you, I haven't been to church for nearly 2 months because of the ms - and as I'm the Sunday School teacher, I'm not sure what the kids will have done for their mums this year!

Also, because I'm adamant that we don't do it, dh has to think for himself - and he thought it was last week, so arranged flowers and card for his mum a week early! Made me giggle!

Big day for me tomorrow - I'm singing at the match in the choir! Means I probably won't post on here this weekend, as I'm wiped out now from the rehearsal last night - and tomorrow is going to be a looooong day!

take care all ...

Aprilmeadow! How did you find me?!

Congratulations on your baby's impending eviction and best of luck with it!

I'm doing fine, thanks. Occasional wibbliness and flashbacks from the last time (but have already been banned from discussing that on here lol)... but otherwise peachy. Bit unreal still - despite occasional nausea and an ever-tightening waistband First scan is 13th April - DD's 2nd birthday!

Anyway - sorry for thread hijack... and thanks for remembering me!

aprilmeadow · 17/03/2007 08:32

So pleased that you are doing well.. Your scan is the day i go on ML. Best of luck and take care of yourself xx

J20BABY · 17/03/2007 12:03
