If anyone hasn't joined the FB group you can pm Tefiti2 and she'll sort you out.

Be back after all small people are tucked up

BBell2 · 04/07/2019 20:13

Thank you Karigan.
I saved a copy of the spreadsheet, I thought Twittle set it up, I might be wrong but it was her organising the first threads and it looked to be held on someone's Google doc :(

easterbuns1 · 04/07/2019 20:15

Thanks for setting up new thread, agree that's right thing to do.

Thanks for the new thread, good idea to memorialise the old one like that. Hope everyone is doing okay today x

IVEgottheDECAF · 04/07/2019 21:48

How is everyone?

Puglover88 · 04/07/2019 21:51

That’s a good idea to start a new thread and to leave the old one with the messages for twittle to read when she’s ready. Been thinking of her and little Roy lots today x

Sassy234 · 04/07/2019 21:51

Hey I've just found this group, I'm 28 weeks and due on September 25 hope it's not too late to join in the chit chat :)

KnobJockey · 04/07/2019 21:54

Hi Sassy, we've had a few people join recently so you're in good company 🙂

TheCraicDealer · 04/07/2019 21:54

Welcome Sassy234- you're the same DD as Ron (I think?!) and I Smile

PickledChicory · 04/07/2019 22:11

Just wanted to pop on and say hi again. I left a message for Twittlebee on the other thread (hope, I got that right) but havent posted on here for ages (though been on fb) and think I have nc'ed since then. Baby #3 for me, though nervous/ anxious despite all being well and having a fairly smooth pregnancy. Bad morning sickness up to 16/17 weeks and now the joy of heartburn, but been well controlled last 4 or so weeks with omeprazole. We had issues conceiving DC2 and nearly 2 years of trying, which made for a very anxious pregnancy last time round. Im anxious this time round as got pregnant very easily and dont feel I deserve this baby. I can identify with all those with low mood and I haven't bought a thing for this baby which is making me feel terrible. I have bits and bobs in some online baskets but cant bring myself to buy them, having a dd and a ds I dont really need too much. I feel bad everyone around me is so excited and I spend a lot of time feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of crying. I also hate my job, its very busy. I didnt put myself forward for a promotion as I was in the depths of bad morning sickness and didnt feel I could do the extra work/responsibility. Now kicking myself as Im doing it anyway cos we are so short staffed.
Anyway would love to hear how everyone else is getting on and any recommendations for lightweight and compact yet fairly robust for country paths buggies.

Just placemarking, thanks for the new thread. 30 weeks today which seems a milestone!

RonaldWeasley · 04/07/2019 22:28

Hi @Sassy234 and @TheCraicDealer yes we are indeed due date buddies!

My blood pressure appears to be creeping up, it's usually quite low at around 100/60 but it was teetering right on the edge of 'elevated' at the docs today. Bit worried about preeclampsia, not had any other symptoms but is it normal for blood pressure to go up like this? Doc said we'll keep monitoring it, I was only in for a fit to fly certificate and now I'm stressing out!

Hope everyone is looking after themselves today, I'm sure poor Twittle's news has shaken up some feelings/worries.

Sassy234 · 04/07/2019 22:37

:) thanks for the welcome, I'm ready for maternity leave to start now it's to warm to work. 😓

Fortheloveofscience · 04/07/2019 22:39

Evening all. Just placemarking.

Karigan195 · 04/07/2019 22:54

@RonaldWeasley what’s teetering on the edge of elevated? Mines usually 100/60 but was up yesterday and I just put it down to the fact I’ve been ill this week. Maybe I should have checked more?

Feeling really down today. Twittlebee’s news plus the thread that popped up earlier about the baby born at 23 weeks is just highlighting how fragile these little lives are and now I’m back to worrying again.

RonaldWeasley · 04/07/2019 23:01

@Karigan195 it was 120/78 which is still fine in theory, doc just said we needed to keep an eye on it because it's gone up more than 15 points since my booking appt. Sure if you've been ill that could have affected it, I've been pretty stressed because of house move so hoping it's just that!

Know exactly how you're feeling re realising the fragility of these little lives, think I was just starting to get confident of being out of the 'danger zone' and now it all just feels a bit shaky.
