Due April 2008 - new thread for November

[EllieG]

Hello all - new thread here!

OK, I´m sulking big time now. The whole of the sole of my shoe has just come off & can´t find the caretaker anywhere to glue it back on They were really nice shoes as well

Oh no soph! Very bad. [gives soph some chocolate and nice cuppa]

Thanks ellieg just what I needed

DH has just given me a Mars Bar so even better

Staple gun?

Maybe not.

lol @ staple gun scampmum

sorry to hear about your shoe Soph - but the mars bar (and choccy ) sounds like a good fix-it-upper to me

TMP-my scan is tomorrow as well.

we have had a hoo-ha here, dp accidentally OD on paracetemol and had to go to hospital for liver tests, he was only a couple of pills more away from staying in on a drip overnight and missing my scan - even more ! He has had mega bad toothache and can't see a dentist until tommorw.

i will post tomorrow afternoon on flavour - is this a Dexter William or not??

God I wouldn´t trust myself with a pencil in my hand at the moment, let alone a staple gun The mars bar lasted all of 5 seconds now feel peed off, guilty & better at the same time - pregnancy has got a lot to answer for

scorpio - sorry to hear that, puts my shoe dilemma in perspective Hope your dp gets better soon. Can´t wait to find out what you´re having

ooh - your poor dp scorpio!! lucky that he didn't have to stay in though - hope he gets his tooth sorted.

What time is your scan? Mine is 11.20am and have talked dh into coming home from work for an hour or so to accompany me! Good luck with yours and can't wait to find out the colour!! We aren't going to find out tomorrow (apparently) - but it is sooooo hard when I know that I could find out iyswim.

Oh, and it's my 2nd pregnancy and I felt v. little before 18 weeks and can't quite remember but am sure was feeling it earlier last time. Probably just a mellower baby!

So true about never connecting bump and baby! Whenever I talk about last time I still say 'the baby' rather than 'Poppy'. I love the coincidence idea... although my bump only started to disappear in a very microscopic sense on the day I gave birth, as my dear MIL pointed out. I was pretty close to pointing out that 31 years on she didn't look like she'd had her baby either but I just managed to keep my mouth shut .

how weird tmp-mines at 11.10! me and dp are going and then we are having lunch out together. He says he feels fine in himself, just the blood tests didnt feed back good info....but nothing serious forever, iyswim?

Glad to hear DP is OK, young slender Scorpio (sorry, that's how I think of you!). Good luck with scans tomorrow, girls. Really excited yet nervous about ours in two weeks (Fri 7th) - definite mixed feelings because of the DS risk/heart issue but I suppose at least we're expecting it to be bad news so we might be pleasantly surprised!

LOL at scampsmum. I can´t remember my bump disappearing it was just there one minute, gone the next ... not straight away though. I wore my maternity dress home from the hospital, I remember that much

Yep, good luck girls, look forward to hearing from you.

i used to be slender. there now appears to be a wriggly football up my t-shirt!!

I want a magic disappearing bump too. Am getting married 8 weeks after baby due and don't want to waddle down the aisle!

Poor Mr Scorpio - get well soon

After reading the thread, I am still trying to feel the top of my uterus. Mollyfloss says that your hand will push in if you use a slicing action - but my hand pushes in everywhere. Do I have too much fat to find my uterus?
Sorry to hear about DP, scorpio, and shoes, Soph. And good news on all the girls the list is getting now. Evens up my chances of a boy a bit!

My scan is tomorrow at 10:50 so there will be a flurry of good news tomorrow lunchtime (thinking positively!). My mum wants another granddaughter and dd wants a brother so someone's going to be disappointed.

I felt movements very early with this one but it's still very hit and miss, I often don't feel anything for a couple of days then get an extra big kick. Scampmum, I'm exactly the same, I always refer to my last pregnancy as 'the baby' and have trouble remembering that that's Abigail. I'm having trouble with the concept of her being a big sister as well as she'll always be my baby.

Hi everyone
Is it too late to join this thread? I'm due on 9 April which also happens to be DH's 30th birthday
This will be my first baby. I have my second scan on 30 November and hope to be find out the sex. I am so impatient I harassed the sonographer at the 12 wk scan until he gave me a view and he said in his experience there's an 80% chance it#s a girl. Yesterday was my half way mark but still no kicking. Can't wait until it starts- will make it more real I think. So far my pregnancy has been plagued by horrendous migraines that have lasted on average 3 days where all i can do is take parecetemol (useless!) and lie in the dark. Im now doing acupuncture every week and that's helped a lot so i have just started to enjoy pregnancy. To be honest I hated the first three months because I was in pain constantly which was no fun.

Hi Egyptianprincess. Apparently the headaches are a sign it is a girl!

We'll see.

What does the kicking feel like? Does it hurt?

Hi EygyptianPrincess, I'm due 9th as well, which was my dads bday, or the 11th depending on whose dates I take!

I too have had awful headaches, have one now actually, have you tried taking co-codamol??? I have spoken to my midwive about ti and she said its fine as did a few other docs/mw's of people on this thread. Be warned though, in sainsburys they didnt want to sell me it, but I was insistent, I prefer to listen to my midwife than a sainsburys pharmacist!!

Leave as much info as you want on the list (age, number child/pregnancy, area you live etc) in your next post and it can get added to our rather wonderful uber organised list

And no, kicking doesnt hurt, It's almost impossible to explain how it feels to be pushed and kicked from inside your body rather than the outside! But it is wonderful, the first feelings are great just cos they're the first but the best are as they get stronger.

Hi VictorianSqualor
Poor you-it's so frustrating not being able to take the normal migraine meds. I tried co-codamol once but it didn't really work and gave me a weird kind of hangover.
I was referred to the Neurology Unit at the Royal Free and initially I was told there was nothing they could do but I just had a letter through the post saying they had talked about my case and that there is an injection I can get in the back of my neck if the migraines get worse. So far though the acupuncture is doing the trick and I prefer tiny needles to giant ones!

Im 31 at the end of the month, live in Hampstead, London, having baby at the royal free. This is my first one. 2nd scan on 30 Nov.
