Babies due June 05 Thread 2

[welshmum]

Here's a new one for us chatty ones

hee hee TB!!!!! Poor things - they probably have such great hopes as children - if only they knew what fate had in store for them!!!

DS1 once wee'ed in my cup of tea that was on his changing table!!! With DS2 i didnt waste any time - i was so quick changing that he didnt have time to wee on me! (In the mouth!!! - i think you would see it coming!)

Oooh, little boys are brilliant - straightforward and uncomplicated. Usually a football will keep them happy for hours. Little girls, on the other hand, are a complete mystery to me.

sweetheart - what a coincidence! It seems like we both have girls, convinced we will have boys, and terrified of them... ooh, and I was looking around the boys name thread and saw that you like the same name I picked for my bump if it is a boy... Lucas.

Finding a name last time was soooo hard!!! My first language is portugues and all my family is in brasil, so we wnated a name that works in both english and portuguese. DH and I like have a lot of names that we both liked, but we couldn't agree on one that work in both languages. I decided I am not talking about names until the last month , so we'll argue for less time this time around, but I just can help thinking about it... so I'm sure I am going to break my promisse !

Never had wee in my mouth either, although he did manage to wee in his own mouth once which really made me laugh. Serves him right for playing with his willy mid-wee

The fact that I am always complaining abot men is what worries me about having a boy.... I would be responsible for this one behavious if it turns out to be a boy....
I think it is pretty funny that my husband agrees with me!!

hee hee hee MrsW!!!!!

Thanks everyone - you've put my mind at rest!!!

Lua, if you had a boy you could bring him up to respect women and behave the way every woman would dream of!!!!!

Of course you do run the risk of him turning out to be either

1. a mummy's boy - and women hate that don't they OR
2. gay!!!!

I don't believe any of these generalisations on gender. I think girls can be rough and ornary, and boy can be peacful and agreeable. All Children have different personalities. And most of those personality traits come from their parents. So I think if you have a boy, and you are both laid back, he probably will be too. We are both opinionated strong willed adults, and our darling daughter is no different. It will be an intersting house in a few years!

I also don't believe that your style of parenting has much chance in making your child gay (although I know that you were just kidding SH).

Uwila,

I was just kidding - and our house is very much the same as ours in that we are both stuborn and opinionated (When we want to be) - my dd has it in double measures!!!!

Although my dh and dd both have a quiet laid back side too - they are both Gemini's
We all clash terribly as I'm a pisces and both personality traits irritate the hell out of me - you can imagine what fun our household is!!!!!!

The bump also runs the risk of being a gemini as well I'm hoping it will miss it though!! I can't take any more!!!!

You're right of course Uwila. Although when I'm sat on the settee watching my whirling dervish of a son charge round the room at 100 miles an hour I do sometimes wonder who he inherited his energy from .

Hi gals, you've been chatting loads as usual I've caught up but am too tired to make any comments whatsoever!! Geez.

I agree! I've just come out of a meeting to this barrage!! Catch you all tomorrow.

I don't mean to complain... but! I am feeling less sicky today Well, I still felt sick but am able to think about food. Think I mentioned this earlier confused look oh well I'll just shut up and stop babbliing!

Hi everyone. Didn't make it to chat after all yesterday - but here I am now. MrsWednesday, I'm sorry you're having discharge, it is such a worry isn't it. Throughout this pg, since about 6wks, I have had tiny pink, brown and occasionally bright red spots in my discharge (sorry TMI!) and have been so worried about it but a reason has never been found and so far things are OK. I really hope they will be OK for you, and you too, Sophmum - thinking of you.
Just had a really weird/unsettling experience and wonder if anyone can empathise? I went to a reading with dh this evening. We got there just before it was due to start. It was a really popular event in a relatively small space and people were getting out chairs to put in the aisles and we were sitting squashed up near the door, unable to see anything, with people climbing over us. Now I didn't feel particularly comfortable, plus the air was awful, but that wasn't it. What it was was that it reminded me so much of a very similar situation - a very popular concert in our small town where we'd had to sit basically outside the room cramped up and couldn't see anything - four months ago, two days before my m/c. And I just associated it with that event and (completely superstitious and stupid, I know) began to get really paranoid I'll have an m/c a couple of days later this time too. We left early in the end - excuse was needing the loo, but I was glad to be outta there. Tell me, is that really silly or what? It was just like this really strong sense of deja vu with all the associated negative emotions this whole period has now got attached for me... I'm also paranoid cos I think someone had been smoking in there before we came in, and if there was still smoke in the air could it have harmed the baby? (I know, I know... there was a thread a while back called 'Am I the only one who worries about everything?' or something - does anyone remember it? - I found it yesterday and was nodding vigorously saying 'that's me' all the way through it!)

Hi Berolina,

That sounds very similar to what I'm having, and it's reassuring to read everything is ok with you. It is really unsettling though, isn't it?

I can completely emphasise with your experience tonight - having a m/c and being pregnant again has made paranoid and superstitious too. It's understandable even if it is irrational. I'm finding it impossible to stop worrying, even about the smallest things and I am in danger of sending myself mad. So you're not the only one - honest!

LM, you're probably just getting used to the hormones - I bet you'll feel sick again tomorrow as the levels change again (I've read this somewhere, can you tell?). I've had the same thing, my symptoms come and go too.

Mrs W - I just had to post. I have been lurking for a while - am due 22 June. I have had 5 mcs in the past sa well as one dd. I had 3 of the mcs last year - which hsa been shitty so far. Anyway, they disgnosed Favtor V Leiden as possible cause for mcs and I am injecting myself every day with heparin to treat this condition.

This week adn last I had some bright red bllod plus pink and brown - only a very little. Each time I phoned my GP (EPU here won't accept self referrals) and he did the necessary paperwork for me to have a scan and all is fine (latest scan today after spotting on Mon). I expect my GP took pity on me cos of my history but if he had not sone so I suspect I would have thrown a wobbly on him and pleaded pity due to the events of the last year. Scans are good as they tell you what is happening but they are scary too. I am sure you know what is right for you. I will continue to read the board and i wish you all the very best - as someone who partially understands what you are going through.

Jezebel, thank you so much for telling me what happened to you. It sounds like you've been through an awful lot. I am tempted to do what you suggest and just throw myself at the mercy of my doctor and see what happens. Knowing what I'm like though, they'll probably tell me 'it's just one of those things' and I'll weakly agree and leave, just as stressed as I was when I went in!!

You must be so relieved they have found a potential explanation for your m/cs - knowing that you are doing something to prevent it gives you a tiny bit of control over the situation at the very least.

Many thanks for all your help and kind words. You should de-lurk more often

hello everyone.

had my scan today and i saw my tiny tiny bundle of joy with a nice strong heatbeat.

the only bad thing is that im only 5 weeks so im going to be having the baby in june so guess i'll have to go to the july thread

No way. Am I really the first one to the thread today? Everyone must still be sleeping (or wishing they were) or maybe puking...

Oh well, good morning all!

Morning ev3eryone! Congrats pandagirl

I wish I was sleeping, I'm delaying washing and ironing - the house is a pigsty

BUT!! I managed breakfast this morning for the first time in 2 weeks!! Hurrah!

Morning all,

Really good news about the heartbeat Pandagirl03, but sorry you're off to the July board.

How is everyone feeling? Uwila, have your headaches stopped now?

Sophmum, how are you getting on? I am thinking about you lots.

I'm sooooooooo tired today, really struggling to do anything this morning.

Morning all!
Lipstick - i am also feeling less sick and more like food today. I still feel nauseous and feel really crap in the evening but i feel like the initial rush of sicky hormones has settled down. I have become very emotional in the last 24 hrs though. THese are the things i have cried at since last night:

1. Coronation st. Ashley said "Josh can open his prezzies xmas morning and watch daddy and claire get married in the afternoon" - Suddenly this great sob lurched out from my chest (much to the amusement of my family)
2. Watching Musicality - when they announced the ones who have made it to the next round i sobbed
3. 11am the 2 min silence. I cried the whole way through!

Hope everyone else is ok today! Good news about scan Pandagirl - btw if my scan puts me into July (its touch and go) i am still staying on the June board if thats ok with everyone

I can't imagine anyone kicking you off this thread if your scan dates you due in July Tessie!!!

I went to the Docs this morning, more a formality really, although despite feeling like I have hardly eaten anything, I seem to have put on weight! Here we go... My scan is not till 12 weeks though, the nuchal. Apparantly my dp told me that this county is changing it's "20 week scan only" policy and we will now get one at 12 weeks too on the NHS.

I am finding it hard to keep up with everyone, am very sorry. Mrs W you're/were having some spotting/discharge? HOw are things now? Going for a scan or not?

I didn't cry during Corrie last night lol, but do find myself welling up at every available oportunity.

Too tired to type anymore.

Thanks for asking, MrsW. They are all gone now... I hope. I am now just over 11 weeks so hopefully the end is in sight. And the morning sickness (which was never bad anyway) has gone away. The tiredness is letting up too... yippee! My husband works away all week. I have a toddler, and my dad and 8 year old niece are staying with us for a couple of weeks (going home on Sunday). So, the tiredness couldn't have let up at a better time.

My problem now is that the belly is growing and I haven't told work yet. Every time I go round to see my boss or he comes to see me, I have to suck my stomach in.

Two nuchal tests for me next week. Hope they go well! There a terrible sad threas now about a DS baby an a very terrible decision to make by anothe MNer... it makes me so sad, and quite nervous about the nuchals. Hope no one else on here has to make such a tough choice.

2 Nuchals??? One NHS one private?
