Due October 2007 ~Piggies into Porkers~

[muppetgirl]

Have I started a new thread?

Hi everyone - hope you're all well this morning.

Buffy you certainly sound like you've been through the wars...my DS is asthmatic; you'll see such a difference once your DD starts reacting to the becotide (we rarely need the ventolin now)

J2o, have you tried floradix? it's a booster liquid when yo're tired with low iron, not sure whether you can have it in pregnancy but can't see why not cause it's pretty much homeopathic...great stuff, would thoroughly reccomend

off to London now but will hopefully catch up later. have a good afternoon

buffy sorry to hear you had a hectic week, hoping next week will be a lot calmer

nellie, i am going to see if i can get something like that on prescription next time i have an antenatal visit.

Lisa-misdee is your sister i think? i haven't posted on her threads, but if she seriously needs someone to take her children for a couple of days, i am willing to drive down and collect them and bring them back to my house? hardly an ideal situation for any of you, but i seriously mean this from the bottom of my heart, its only me and dd at my house and they could treat it as a hol? i can give you my email if you want it? i will also sign up for the transplant list.

J20 yes shes my big sister, sparklygoth is my other big sister. Im sure she'd appriacte the offer but think they need to be with family right now, i will pass on the offer anyway.
My mum helps when she can, she and dad came home early from their holiday, and have the girls today. I help when i can, and the girls were here on friday.
I think its come at a terrible time too (not that anytime is good) as school holidays start next week, and she now has to spend time up and down to hospital and its a long hard day for all, and not nice for the girls to see their dad in that state.
Fingers crossed he pulls though again.

Lisa

its so sad, i am thinking of them, well the offer is there, if i can do anything for them let me know, it must be hard on you too. try to take it easy x

Hi All
Sorry you have been so down J20 (hug)
Alice; I'm glad you had such a lovely day yesterday....it really did sound wonderful.
Buffy; What a week! I hope the girls have a relatively easy time of it and get over their chicken pox soon.
We are having a busy weekend, yesterday buying a new electric sander and borrowing a compresser (and taking my mother out to lunch )so Dh could sand down and spray paint all the doors in the house (14 of them!) today... previous experience has taught us that this is the quickest easiest way of doing it (with the added advantage of no drips!!!). He is also doing up an old dark wood 1920s bedroom suite...stripping it and painting it cream for the nursery which he decorated last week...the new patio doors come on Weds and Thurs and the new boiler on Sat and Sun....it'll be like having a new house by next weeekend!!! I've got a check up with my consultant tomorrow and will pop in and let you all know how it goes but please forgive me if I dont get much chance to keep up with you all over the next 7 days....and dont forget to put up a link to the next thread for idiots like me...pretty please..
Like the piggies at the trough one!!

FT thanks for the hug, and good luck to your DH with the decorating, i've still got lots of doors to do, but been putting it off

lisa - thinking of you and all your family ...

Buffy ? I hope your daughter gets better soon; it must have been pretty scary for you to watch her struggle to breathe. It sounds like a week of hell, especially trying to convince bloody doctors receptionists that you really need to see a doctor.

Floria ? I hope the consultant?s app goes okay tomorrow

Lisa - I?ve been on the thread and left my best wishes, I?ll also join the donor list. I?ve been meaning to as before I was married my dad absolutely no way and he was my next of kin but my husband is all for it so I?ll get him to sign up too.

Well, yesterday seems a bad day fro a lot of us. We went to John Lewis in Bristol as we had to take something back. Whilst I was there I said could I get measured for new bras as my old ones don?t fit. We were told there would be a wait of an hour and they handed us a pager. Well after an hour I went back to ask how long it would be as ds had turned into demon child from hell and was whinny and clingy with dh. I was greeted with ?we?ve been trying to page you!!? to which I handed her the pager and apologising asked if I had missed it and she said no it hadn?t gone off.
Once in the changing room she measured my chest under my boobs and went off to find some bras. She came back with a 34 d which once on she said fitted although I felt uncomfortable, checked the elastic round my chest and found I had red marks where it was so tight. When I pointed this out she said that it was fine and supposed to be tight and that obviously my old bras hadn?t fitted me properly and that this was fine! She also said that as my tummy was bigger with the pregnancy they would be tight (This I really don?t understand!! That?s why I needed new bras as the old ones don?t fit due to tummy growth!!) I still said I wasn?t happy and she said we could try going up a size so she got a 36 c and this fitted more comfortably but she said it was too slack but it was up to me.

Now, was that a correct fitting having never been fitted for a bra before?
Should bras really be that tight that they leave red marks after only a couple of mins wear?
Is there a difference between maternity bras and normal bras?

Muppet - the girl who measured you sounds like she didn't know what she was on about. I would try somewhere else. have always got a good service at m&s.

floria - good luck with your decorating!

Lisa - not had a chance to go on that thread yet but from the sounds of things your family are having a rough time... Will go catch up but in the meantime thinking of you....

Good afternoon everyone... well my mood improved a little yesterday and we went to visit friends in East Yorks, ds's mood improved a bit as there were loads of people and my friends dd who is 4 to help occupy him, but I still seemed to miss out on a lot of socialising sorting him out, DH meantime managed to get happily pissed without having to help Finally managed to get ds to bed by 9.30 and could try and wind down a bit. I am now absolutely exhausted though... went to bed at 2am but was still awake at 5am due to horrendous heartburn which made me feel really sick, I think I managed to doze (sitting up) for about an hour in total before getting up at 7.30 [yawn] but I was so uncomfortable, and my ankles have started to swell up over the past couple of days too

DS has hit the terrible twos with a vengeance this weekend, flying into a screaming fit over the slightest thing... very wearing especially when I am tired and have no patience.

Right will now go and catch up on what I have missed since yesterday

Inzidoodle - I'm not leaking yet (unless I have a squeeze but as Dal said, don't want to stimulate them, the longer they stay dry the better

Dal21 - hope you had a nice evening with Daniel

Alicet - thanks for your kind words reg my bump For once it must be a flattering picture because being 13 and a half stone at just 5ft 3inches, aint a good look I just hope I can get rid of the excess weight after, seeing as I am not breastfeeding for more than a week this time round...horror, think I'll stay off THAT TOPIC

Winnie - how is your husband today? Hope he isn't in too much pain.

J20 - sorry you are feeling down, I guess we will all get days like that at the moment though. Oh and I like the idea for the topic title, we'll need to start that soon And good luck on the eating better front. I have decided come tomorrow morning I am going to keep a food diary... write down what I eat and when, how long till the heartburn kicks in and how bad it is... see if I can find 'something' to eat that doesn't result in agony.

Lisa - so sorry to hear what your family are going through, it must be incredibly difficult on all of you. I am already on the transplant list, did it a couple of months ago.

Buffy - Really hope you have a better week this coming week, it can't get any worse surely???

Floria - hope your day has continued to be so productive... Good luck for tommorrow.

Muppetgirl - I would go somewhere else and get measured again to see what the difference is, it doesn't sound like you were measured right to me... you can't be expected to wear a bra that is uncomfortable and leaves red marks surely...

Hope I haven't missed anyone out.

Heres to a better week this week. Only 11 more weeks to go for me

Lisa just read your sister's thread. I had no idea you were all going through such a truely terrible time. My heart breaks for your sister and her family - I can't imagine many things worse than having to watch your dh suffer in this way. I have a donor card but would love to sign up for the online transplant thing - do you have a link / web address I could use?

Big hugs to you all - if there's anything I can do then please let me know xxxxx

Thanks for the support, its been going on so long, and they are still so young Their youngest is only 2.

Its national transplant week this week too, heres the link to sign up www.uktransplant.org.uk/ukt/default.jsp

L

going to register now xxx

I've just registered.

muppet-that is definately not right, go somewhere else or measure yourself.

oh i've forgotten what others have said again, sorry!!

just quickly ask you all before i forget, is anyone else getting burning pain in there upper back? i felt like i'd been stabbed in the back in the middle of the night the other night, dd says i've got a couple of holes there, like bites but its really hurting all my uper back, wonder if it was a spider.

also, posted a thread earlier about being swollen down below, anyone else?

and.....i seem to have put on half a stone in the last week don't know how when i still have stomach problems and can't keep off the loo!!

mrsfish, thats a good idea, i think i may be intolerant to cherries as after i've had them i get bad stomach ache...don't suppose your meant to eat the whole punnet though
oh and you should have popped in for a cuppa if you where in East Yorks

If I knew where you lived I might just have done

was (well still am) hungry but decided to just have a cup a soup for tea as I am so knackered I want a good nights sleep no heartburn... thought a cup-a-soup (minestrone) would be quite harmless... no such luck, heartburn has just kicked in, pretty much half an hour exactly after eating it

I realy can not see me finding much to eat... it will be interesting to see after a week if there is anything that doesn't bring it on.

Oh hum... off to go and get my peptac.

i live in Hull mrsfish
poor you, i don't really suffer heartburn or indigestion yet, but when i do its awful, so you have my sympathy!

i've been keeping a list of what dd eats in the last week, its not good, am going to post a thread about it.

any of you got dc's around the age of 7ish? .........

i've started a new thread cos i'm struggling to post on this one! here it is

sorry if i've spelt trough wrong
