Due In December 2007, come over here!

[Caz10]

I hope this works! Here is a new thread as the old one was getting v long.
I hope everyone is doing ok. If I'm anything to go by you will be wandering around queasy and exhausted - isn't this fun?!

TMI alert!!

Hmm - sex ban = intercourse ban not 'making love' ban. We had quite a while when the beast with two backs wasn't an option, but it certainly didn't stop us enjoying each other .

At the moment we go for the 5-minute fix (blowjob/handjob for DH) as I'm too queasy/knackered to do much bouncing about. Keeps him happy, reminds him that tadpole isn't my only concern, and really doesn't take long/too much effort on my part

Worth a try anyway...?

saw skidadle and beckle posts about rude dreams is this common in preg as I had a very rude one last nigth and wished i didnt get up this morning to see how it ended (wasnt dp.. was a tall darkhandsome stranger.. and there was an 'observer' )

thelady - wont be letting dp see your post as i am enjoying a break from all the naughty business (except in my dreams obviously!)

TheLady - TMI ALERT again - surely a blowjob would make you feel even queasier??!! (well, that's my excuse - I can't wait to be past early stages as I remember feeling super randy in the middle trimester last time - all to do with the extra blood flow to the area )

I'm not into deep throat! Popsicles are good though....

apparently rude dreams = boys or so my mate has told me - i wouldnt know, ive got 2 girls!!!

not so sure JARM, I had very rude dreams all through my pg with dd, but maybe I am just a filthy pervert

Housemum - totally with you on the BJ queasiness, the very thought turns me green

My rude dream was about someone in my office - can't even look at him now but also can't stop myself thinking dirty thoughts about him and don't fancy him AT ALL - oh the power of dreams

PMSL @ skidaddle - name change time for you me thinks.. to filthy pervert!

I just felt so norty this morning exspect the ms was so baf as punishment for impure thoughts!

Perhaps I'm up for another girl then as my dreams haven't been perverted! Last night's was so lovely I almost woke up crying (bloody hormones) - I was sitting on the sofa feeding my newborn baby (funnily enough the dream didn't include painful fanjo, cramping stomach, sore nipples...)

Sh!t it has just dawned on me that im not taking my vits.

Stopped taking them when I thought it was all over and havent started again

EEK!

will this mattr?

will this affect pregnancy viability?

It will been fine Pecka - just start taking them again.

FWIW I cant actually take Foli Acid supplements, so havent taken them throughout any of my pregnancies, and i have 2 gorgeous healthy children!

Do you think they would sedate me until about 14 weeks?

Keep getting pains which Im SURE will be normal but coupled with the bleeding its hard to keep a calm head on it!

This is SO my last pregnancy - I loved it with DD and DS but now officially HAAAAAAAAAAAAATE it!

No JARM - I had rude dreams (when pregnant) and I have 2 dds.

Hi all,
Im now deffo in this months festivities, had my scan today and my dates have been changed from 12 weeks down to 9, so due 21 Dec. I suspected they would be as I have megalong cycles, but Im kinda disappointed that I have been put back IYKWIM. It feels like I have to go throgh an extra 3 weeks of feeling sick and tired when I thought they were nearly over.
Oh well, it was great to see a little shrimp inside me (all 2.3 cm of it!) and its nice to know that this isnt all some weird fantasy in my head. Also dh has got really excited now, he was a bit hmm before.
good luck to everyone ans all together now "morning sickness sucks"

Beanstermummy - the 25wk prior to 15wks prior to EDD - gets me all confused! I just quote what was in my HR mat leave policy! You're absolutely right though, it's basically "were you employed when you got up the duff"!!!it's just complicated jargen to get us pregnant women confused!

Yes, would love to meet up once in blooming stages, think someone is in Stirling which isnt far and (sorry ladies) I forget the whereabouts of the other North of the Border folk.

Welcome Flipflopper.

Beckle and Skidaddle - I'm glad you mentioned the crude dreams, I am shattered in the mornings from my dreams! none seem to involve DH either!

PuppyDogTails - hello. I know how you feel at being put back, I was also put back 3 wks with DD but it was at an earlier scan so 12 wks seemed a while away anyway. You'll soon get to back to 12wks again and then you can look forward to your next scan at 20 wks!

ok prob TMI feel free to read no further
Usually suffer IBS made much worse by wheat so eat v little carbs normally v small amounts wholemeal bread and pasta every few days and mostly well controlled..
Nowadays the ONLY things that help my horrid MS is lots greasy processed white carbs ....and as a result my bowels are terrible - windy smelly rushing to loo ....oh I cannot bear this...things with estranged dH and his demented pregnant ex OW are not so hot - why are some women so evil....first she tries to steal my DH and life gets herself PG on purpose and now he keeps trying to come back to me her sole purpose seems to make me miserable ...aaggghhhhhh
Sorry for moan and TMI

Oh Macdoodle - poor you. God I am so constipated that equally I keep doing smally farts - i try and blame it one the children!
So are you and your h not living together at the mo? He has another womam pregnant? Gosh that must be hard - sorry if I have misunderstood!

morning everyone

macdoodle - poor you, how horrible for you. Do you want to take him back? Is he no longer with the OW? What an absolute nightmare to be going through this when pg. Hope you have good friends to talk to and of course you have mnet

hello puppydog - very disappointing to be put back three weeks but welcome to the december thread

awen - great idea if only I knew how to do these highly technical things like change my name....

pecka - hang on in there

Have my scan this afternoon, can't wait to see him/her squirming around. And then i can tell everyone and people will stop thinking I'm some wierd teetotaller who never goes out and behaves like a lunatic oh the relief...

More dirty dreams last night following actual sex with dp and again no involvement of him in them - starting to feel a bit guilty about it - don't think I would be too pleased if he kept have rude dreams about everyone but me - mind you he probably does and doesn't feel an ounce of guilt so maybe I will just enjoy it

Ski, good luck with the scan. Have mine too at 2:45.

Have been having very randy dreams too. Involving a certain actor

Pecka, i havent had any vits either. I'm sure its fine.

Morning all,
I have extremely graphic dreams about having sex with my horrid ex who is the father of my first child and wake up in a cold sweat feeling violated - but funnily enough the sex in the dream is really tender and great. It's just the realisation in the cold light of morning when I realise it was with the wrong man that I feel all sick and wrong...
Macdoodle - what a shitty position to be in - did he get you both pregnant at the same time?! Are you going through this pg living alone and will be raising your baby as a single mum? Good luck honey - I was a single mum for 6 years without any support from ex at all and it was really ok. Have some fabulous friends which really helps and obviously you've found MN which I wish I had had at the time just to vent unspeakable irritations and emotions!!
I have finally spoken to my midwife and I do have to pay for a 12 week nuchal scan (£150) however I do get a dating scan at 14 weeks so am trying to persuade dp that we don't need to pay all that money as I am not in the danger zone agewise and I think I would be in a complete panic if I found unusual thickness for the rest of my pregnancy which I really want to enjoy. And we get to see little bean!!
MW was very lovely - she claimed to be very supportive of my having a home birth but I need to make sure I ask all the right questions when we meet. I want to know what the hospitals Active Management of Labour policy is and whether the community MWs have much experience of HB in this area. It'll be right bang on Christmas (well - don't know, it may be a different matter once I have the dating scan) so the hospital will be short staffed etc.
My best friend is a doula but she may be heading to warmer climates come xmas this year so I am thinking of the possibility of hiring a doula as I think it would be a massive support to both dp and myself.
Anyway - sorry for whittering on!! Thought I'd have a quick catch up. Any thoughts on what else I need to probe my mw on with regards to hb would be greatly appreciated

Morning all.
have just taken delivery of a top shop bump band - hopefully this will bridge the gap between my bloated tum and the top of my unzipped/unbuttoned trousers.
macdoodle - i have ibs too, which is usually fine as long as i don't eat ANYTHING wholegrain (no alpen, no wholewheat pasta etc) which is normally not a problem, but with the whole digestive slow-down thing going on i'm bloated as a, well, bloaty thing. you have my sympathy.
Right. Off to try out my new oh-so-lovely bloat-concealer.

morning morning

Niks - we're shelling out £200 for Nuchal scan next Wed but at 35 with one DD already we reckon to be prepared and know what's going on is worth it. Last time with DD we thought about it etc and decided not to as at 32 I wasn't excatly in the risk group.

Loucee - it's me who lives in Stirling but works in Glasgow!! I think Caz10 and TheLady are up this neck of the woods too -apologies for missing any others which no doubt I have - hands up all who's brain is turning to jelly

Macdoodle - I can't begin to even imagine how you're doing - happy thoughts and smiles for you though. Sounds like your hubby isn't with this OW so is there a chance you two will sort things out? Hope so.

True to form my scan date came through for June 1st when I'm in London - even though I had told the MW I couldn't go then . Just phones the hospital now and I cannot believe they only scan for the whole of Central Scotland on a Friday afternoon !!!!! We're away next Friday too and so it would be 8th June - 15 weeks before I could go. After a bit of pleading and fibbing that I was holiday not in London on a business trip (am prepared to suffer a day of MS for this white lie- possibly!!) they have jsut called back with a time next tuesday 22nd May So cool as a) that's my DD's birthday so my Mum and sister are over and b) will be day before Nuchal scan so we'll see Button twice in two days

Sounds like some of you are having a great time when asleep - had a few odd dreams - with a few old BF's which was disturbing at the time - but did dream I had a little Girlie but we couldn't agree a name?????

Thanks all feeling bit better today though long day in work...
He is finished with OW was her last ditch attempt to keep him getting PG she is totally immature and selfcentred and she is due in July...
Me and DH keep trying to get back together I am not due till Dec - but she keeps sticking her big fat selfish oar in - when will she get the message HE IS MARRIED - he was gonna do right thing and try and be involved in her babies life financially psychologically etc (oh he is not saint trust me complete prat TBH) - but guess I do love him we have DD age 5 and tried a long time for this baby before OW came along so her getting PG was way to get at me as well...so far we are living apart I really don't know where this mess will end up But at least I get my longed for babe at end even if I have to do it myself DH adamant loves me and wants to come home but lots lies and deceit and of course loony OW on scene

Has anyone else got a bump. I really can't suck my tummy in as much as I used to. My clothes aren't MUCH tighter but just I have a lump. I think it is really obvevious but no one has said anything.

I gave up being able to suck my tummy in years ago - well before DD came along.
But yes - even underneath all my flab there is a bump growing merrily - had to go into Maternity trousers for work this week as normal ones weren't closing at all and were becoming pretty uncomfy. Been pretty much off food really up until this week too - now sarvin' Marvin all the time
All very quiet on MN today - where is everyone????
