Morning all!

Db- I haven't fancied it since lo was conceived in Austria (erm feb this year WE have had the 'you do still fancy me don't you?' talk as dh was feeling a little insecure. I don' mind if he 'does it himself' iyswim as he can't turn off just because I am the size of a house and don't feel like it.

J20 -You really sound like superwoman! I felt chuffed with myself as I'd put together 2 storage thingies for ds for behind the sofa (you know the place -shove it all there and maybe no one will notice it!) I wanted to do it as I wanted my ds to know that women can build things too -quicker, with no swearing and I use the instructions...

Well, today ds is off to Nursery and I am off to soft play with friends. Tee hee, not to play just to have coffee. Then I'll take ds swimming as I tried yesteday but he kept changing his mind so we didn't go and then we had tea at the gym and he saw the other children swimming and through a wobbler -really unlike him. Hopefully today should go better...(I'm going to chuck him in and pretend I didn't heard the protestations!)

Does anyone have 'dead arms/legs' in the middle of the night? I wake up not being able to feel my left arm quite often which, at first was a bit weird. Going to ask mv. I can imagine the conversation....'can I just ask a few weird questions?'
Have a good day all, It's sunny here!!

Speak later

MrsFish · 03/08/2007 07:43

Hi J20 - nope my iron isn't too bad, the mw said it is on the line for being just ok, I think it is more because it started off so high and has dropped so much that she is concerned about. She didn't mention supplements anyway so she can't be that concerned.

Well I had a better nights sleep, but am still tired, woke up at 11pm, 1am, 5am and 5.45, but at least I slept in between

Well need to pack again today and do some housework, so will be around on and off

lisad123 · 03/08/2007 08:58

Hi morning all

I slept fairly well last night apart from the waking for loo 4 timnes , but much better than the last few nights. I have Tanisha at home today and we are going to have to go inot twon to get the last of her school things. Im getting prepared incase im not here when she starts. Im so worried they will make me stay and lets just say my hubby is lovely but not well orginizied
How many of you are counting movements now??

My consultant recommended iron even though my iron levels were fine. Theres an issue with blood use and he thinks it would be better than have too much iron than too little. I have to confess I havent taken them yet as been on so mnay other meds, not sure if i can take with them, not sure if i want to start now

Hope you all have a good day, its lovely weather here

Wish me luck - just off to get ds's haircut

Pheebe · 03/08/2007 09:14

Morning all

Not been on for ages so only had a quick glance through

{{{hugs}}} for all, think we all deserve them now

Had my 28 week check yesterday, all is well, baby is spot on for size and head down at the moment.

les - the only advice I can offer is to trust your dp and what he tells you. his ex sounds like she's still very hurt over their breakup. I don't think its appropriate she talks to you about him though and perhaps you could tactfully say that to her. if she can't respect that maybe you should just cut the conversations dead, say you're dying for a pee or there's someone at the door...

DB, your post sounded sooo familiar from when I was pregnant first time round. Proper sex was ootq for both of us due to previous mcs so we found that exploring and erm handiwork could be just as good. Towards the end of preg when I couldn't bear to move or even get in a proper position for that we found that if I lay on my side, DH behind like the spoon position, he could erm get on with it kinda btwn my legs iyswim without hurting all my achy joints...sooo wish I'd changed my name for this . Timing wise, this time we tend to get DS in bed, let him settle then have an hour in bed together and then DH gets up and does whatever jobs he needs to do and I have a bath and settle down for the night

Best get off to work, will try and find time to pop back later

Have a good day everyone

phee xx

muppetgirl · 03/08/2007 09:26

got a thread here that might make you go eh? baskets full of crap and you are suggesting that we pay for it?

j20baby · 03/08/2007 10:28

Morning all

LES-sorry i missed you out last night, maybe its best if you don't ring dp ex anymore and let him deal with her, is it his(as in dp) mum that keeps making comments like that, about him already having 2 ds's? if it is, i think she's very insensitive towards you, do you normally get on with her?

mrsfish-didn't think about that, yes it is a big drop, off to the steakhouse with you

well i had toothache all last night, so annnoying, have took a couple of co-codomol to try and sort that and the pain in my back out.

am hoping to get a good bit of wallpapering done today, but my bf has just asked me to go and pick her kids up for a couple of hours while she has her hair done, in to the garden with them then!

have a nice day everyone

Morning all ... a quickie from me this morning ... it's unlikely I'll be on later, as it's our 11th wedding anniversary, and we're off out for a meal together tonight!

DH left both me and ds in bed snoozing this morning when he went out - I finally woke up at 8.45am ( ... got up, had a shower, crashed around a bit, then finally gave in and woke ds up at 9.15am - he's never slept that late before - and he was really grouchy when I woke him!

Mind you, we were both up quite a lot in the night - ds has been complaining of (variously) a tummy ache, a sore willy (started a thread on that here ) earache, backacke and generally feeling unwell. He's fine now .. although I am a bit concerned that he's not been to the loo yet this morning ...

hmmm .... think I'm going to have to keep an eye on this one!

Have a lovely day today!

WinnieThePooh · 03/08/2007 10:57

MOrning everyone,

Sorry I have not been on for a while. My mum is currently here from Scotland. I have not read all the messages.

I hope everyone is well.

This little one loves doing acrobatics in the morning. On Tuesday morning, DP wodered what was going on as my tummy was moving about in some funny ways. Also yesterday morning DP brought DD into out bed when he got up. She put her head on my tummy and her lirrle sister promptly booted it off..

I better go get my office a bit tidier. I doubt I will be about much until DD goes to mums on Sunday.

Take care everyone.

TheLadyEvenstar · 03/08/2007 14:08

J20, I have only met his mum once and that was when DP was in hospital very ill. Long story but when he left his ex his mum was against it and has never forgiven him. As far as I can see some relationships do break down I know mine did with ds's father..... But dps mum thinks he should have stayed as they had been together 22 yrs. Although when dp was 14/15 his mum walked out on him, his sister and his dad to be with her boss. And she is still with him now. So it was one rule for her and one for him. DP is not bothered by the comments but i did get really upset and DP and I ended up arguing until almost 6 this morning so my day today is very slow and exhausting. I only had 3 hours sleep from 6 - 9. As for his ex she is just being a bitch, she can be as nice as pie but she has a bee in her bonnet because we dont have the money she wants. She has booked a 2 week holiday to ireland for her and her ds and now wants dp to buy him a load of new clothes before he goes. as apparently he has grown out of everything......personally i don't see how unless he woke up in the morning with everything too small..a bit like tom hanks in Big lol. ANyways have to go out now and go back to the doctors as I have had a mare with the midwife who although she has given me an appt is telling me i have to go through 4 week assessment with physio before i can be considered for a pregnancy support belt....GREAT. and then it will take another 2 weeks before i get it...so i will have had LO before i actually get the belt...make sense???? speak to you all in a while.

ME XXXXXXXXXXXX

alicet · 03/08/2007 14:08

OMG can?t believe how much you lot have been chatting over the last 36 hours! Dh and I got a babysitter and had a night out last night so no time to post. We had a lovely time ? we went to have a massage together (which had been a Christmas pressie from bil and sil) and then for dinner. So a very late night of 11pm for me! A lovely time though?.

Unfortunately this am when I woke up I felt really really sick. Even lying down didn?t seem to settle things so I?ve not gone into work. Had hoped after a couple of hours I?d feel well enough but still feeling grim so back to my pit with laptop!

Floria ? sorry to hear you can?t contest the coroner?s verdict. Nothing really I can say to make it better is there? Big big hugs winging there way to you instead and hope you are feeling OK?..

MrsFish ? sorry to hear you?ve been sleeping so badly. Sounds like you need a big hug too!

Muppet ? think that?s a great idea about ds?s book. You?re right that he might want to read it before he is old enough to be able to understand but great to that he will get to keep to original for later when he is old enough to understand what you went through and to know that it bears no reflection on how much you love him now.
I wake with dead arms too ? I thnk with my enormous belly I don?t roll over without waking anymore so wake with dead arms instead! I wouldn?t worry about it.

LOL at all you and your porn food! At the mo the thing I miss most of all is cheese. Really smelly blue ?feet? cheese as I call it! When we were out last night I spent a large amount of time salivating at the food I COULDN?T have on the menu before making my choice? I have been eating prawns but chicken livers, pate and pink steak all got me going!

Welcome Charlie!

Welcome back inzi!!! Jealous as hell about you being off work now! Enjoy it and don?t go too mad with the diy!

Db ? your Cornish hol sounds like a dream and a perfect holiday to have before lo arrives as it probably won?t be the sort of thing you?ll do so much after! Dh and I are away in a week ? mostly staying with M&D but we have 2 days off in the middle on our own with no ds! So looking for similar types of places in and near to Herefordshire if you (or anyone else) knows of anywhere?
Don?t think you?re being selfish about the sex either. Dh and I could probably have counted on 1 hand the amount of times we?ve had sex since ds2 was conceived until relatively recently. Luckily for me he is as shattered and not up for it as me at the mo (variety of things with work and stuff) so its not a major issue and we both know it?s a temporary thing that doesn?t reflect how we feel for each other. Am with you too on the feeling freaked out by the lo moving! How we have got round this to some extent is to have Sat lunchtime ?dates? when ds goes to bed and we?re not exhausted. Wee both feel a bit more up for it when we?re not tired so this has worked well. You may find you feel better on holiday when you can get more sleep. Try talking to him about it before you go though ? he might well have been trying it on so often because he wanted you to feel attractive and now he knows this doesn?t help you might lay off a bit. It certainly sounds like you hve a fab supportive relationship so things will be fine honey ? just chat about how you both feel and try to come to a compromise which works for you both. But you are certainly not unreasonable to be feeling like this. I think most men would be prepared for the fact you wouldn?t be up for much after the baby arrives but don?t realise how being pregnant makes you feel?. Thinking of you!

LES ? sorry you?re having a tough time with your dp?s ex and you feel free to rant away! Can I ask why you have to call his ex and talk to her about money? I would say it was unreasonable of yor dp to expect this of you and that it was for him to sort out. Not sure that helps how you feel now though but remember she is probably bitter about how they split up and certainly not the right person to listen to about how he is likely to treat you!

Ejt ? hope you have a fab night out for your wedding anniversary!

Big hello to everyone else and will be back in a min to respond to the million cross postings that have no doubt been made while I have been writing this mammoth one!

Apricott · 03/08/2007 14:16

Hi all

DB - endorse what everyone else has said. I went through something similar with DH1, except that the real problems started after the baby was born and he expected everything to be back to how it was before instantly. Looking back I should have asked him to let me stretch him somewhere tender till he tore, then stitch it up, then demand sex! That might have got through to him . Talking has to help. I hope you do enjoy your holiday - it sounds lovely!

Ejt - Happy Anniversary!!!!

Katsch - it's me going to Italy, and I hadn't thought about insurance lately. I did have a look at some travel threads on here a while ago and found a company that was called green something or something green and that was owned by John Lewis/Waitrose and they offered insurance for pg women pretty late. Sorry I can't remember the details now. TBH I'll probably just gamble on staying healthy and baby staying put til I get home. I hate spending money on insurance.

LES - sorry to hear your story - Dp's ex sounds like a total nightmare! And his mother too.

Waves and hugs to everyone else!! I've just been into town and found myself on the verge of tears in M&S for no reason at all. Am seriously considering going home to rest this afternoon rather than stick it out at work. It's like the bloody Marie Celeste here anyway so there's no-one to notice!

Take care lovely ladies x

alicet · 03/08/2007 14:39

Sorry to hear you're feeling teary Apricott. This seems to hit me without warning too at the mo. Big hugs and hope your day picks up and that you manage to get home early if its quiet at work....

Forgot to mention that my mountain buggy that I bought on ebay arrived today! Very very excited!!!! Need to double check it fits through my front door then take the maclaren back at the weekend if so....

rek21 · 03/08/2007 15:22

Hello everyone, thanks for your welcomes!

On designer baby's TMI subject, I seem to have the total opposite experience to everyone else, my hormones have made me the one who is demanding and DH is not keen, because he feels there is someone 'there'! However, happily he still shows me that he fancies me, always stroking my bump very proudly and noting the progress of my growing bust with great approval, kisses, cuddles etc. So I have just had to accept that he's not comfortable with it, that's what partnerships about I guess! So I suppose I prove that its not so bad being told no really. It seems to have made my dreams particularly vivid anyway

TheLadyEvenstar (I love your name by the way), I'm sorry that your DP's ex is such a pain - I think everyone else's advice sounds very sensible.

Happy anniversary ejt!

I'm very excited, I'm being my best friend's matron of honour tomorrow and I have to say I'm feeling pretty matronly, but its not going to stop me putting on my pretty frock and high (ish) heels.

This may be one of those TMI questions, but how often do people do their pelvic floor exercises? I always forget and worry that it will cause problems after the birth.

Anyway off to the wedding rehearsal now, have a great weekend everyone.

lisad123 · 03/08/2007 16:47

Hi LES

I have a SPD belt that I cant use anymore as it doesnt help at all Yours welcome to it, I got given it by another MNetter. They do come in different sizes, im normally a size 14-16 waist, so if your about that size you can have it. If not you can buy them online, or maybe ask on Wanted thread. My physio department dont provide them at all and suggested i brought one, they cost £32!!

Lisa

alicet · 03/08/2007 17:14

rek - enjoy your friend's wedding!

Gutted that no-one has been around this pm while I've been in bed feeling sick and sorry for myself! Very inconsiderate of you all to be off doing other things and not on call to chat to me when I need it!

Anyway must drag myself out of bed now to go get ds from nursery....

Might be about later or might just go back to bed when dh comes home....

alicet · 03/08/2007 17:14

Oh and MrsFish hope you manage to enjoy your holiday after the initial dress rehearsal!!!!
