*** Due Sept 08 *** The third thread....

[MummyToOneForNow]

Thought I would take the plunge as I seem to have killed the previous thread . Will put a link on the old thread so you know where to come!

Ah that was just a test as I was having weird 'page' issues with this thread, ignore me!

OK hello Potoxla (hope I've spelt it right) and welcome. There are lots of us on here with similar worries, I think it's normal.

Re. Bugaboo (I have Chameleon). The reasons I love it are the huge shopping basket, the extendable handle, the multi-position seat, the big wheels for bumping up stairs (v. useful in London), it's light, the bar which DS loves leaning on, the rain cover is sturdy and works, and the best thing is that even though it doesn't fold eaily I still take it on holiday as DS will still (at 23m) sleep in it so we can take him out with us in the evening. Another good thing is I never needed a Moses basket as DS slept in the pram in the house when he was v. little.

Bed things are that it doesn't fit up the aisles of buses so you have to ask to be let on in the middle, it folds into pieces and is quite bulky when folded. We bought the Zapp so we had something smaller in the car boot, but we've since bought a XC90 so it's a bit immaterial. We also had a pram shed built in the front garden, so it doens't come in the house now.

As I still use a pram regularly we're planning on buying the new Phil & Ted so we can push both babies around. I suggested selling Bug but DP also loves it.

Lollipop I think it's 1001 messages for end thread isn't it?

Leonie - I knew from the minute I knew I was pregnant that DS was a boy. I couldn't stop calling him 'he'. I have no idea with this one though.

Phew - v. long post.

Leo, I find it all really interesting. I cant wait for our scans now. Do you have any other psychic abilities?
When I was pregant with my ds at about 4 months, I just knew he was a boy. I never found out or confirmed it at any scans. I was so confident I brought all blue clothes, choose his name and even had a name plaque made with it on for his room. When I was pushing I was shouting his name to come out. I was 100% sure. Werid. I so believe in mothers intuition.
Lollipop My Gp is probably fed up with me. I have been prescribed a variety of drugs. With no or little benefit. I have gone down the accupresure and hypnosis route and tried every suggestion going. I think I just need to ride it out. Unfortunately I get no relief from being sick. I am glad your ms has lessened. It gives me hope.

Hi sunshine. I am not ignoring you crossed thread again. I sooooooo want a bugaboo this time . Think I am going to get the new demin colour.
Anyway, I am going to bed now with my ds. He will fall asleep while we watch corrie and later my husband will carry him over to his own room. I know it sounds awful but I have had a horrid day and I am so tired. I just want to cuddle my ds. He will not complain. .

So sorry you are still suffering mama.

Still feel rubbish here too. Actaully managed to do dome cleaning this afternoon (VERY light!) and have a shower! Marvellous!

My poor ds is covered in spots but being very brave.

(I like the mamas and papas travel system - I must be mad looking at prams his early! )

mamamufin - my heart goes out to you, I have had moderate in MS in my last two pregnancies, and this one seems marginally milder, so nothing like what you're handling, but I was still utterly depressed by around 9-10 weeks, crying every day, and just desperate for it to STOP. It's utterly hideous, but if you hang in there you will get there. Even this time round I calculate once every few hours how far I am and how much longer till I might feel better again.

nauseous - not dreading it really, but am lucky and in a consultancy job so, when it lends itself quite well to having time off, projects and people come and go all the time.

welcome to Potxola and Clare

Felt soooo tired today, like I just could have alid down on the pavement and fallen asleep. Unfortunately dd fell asleep while I was out and about so I didn't get a chance for a nap too. I could have cried! She loves playing sleep games - taking cushions and blankets into her tent and urgine me to lie down next to her and sleep, but unfortunately she shouts "wake up mummy" every 10 seconds before commanding me to lie down again

Sorry to all the people suffering with terrible sickness. I just still have low lwvel queasiness and only fancy eating crisps or toast

DG - you are right re rice, I will definitely leave it all to him now.

At our GP they see you at 8 weeks to do your notes etc, then booking appointment with a midwife a couple of weeks later - I left it til now because I'm waiting for the worst to happen, then when I rang to book it, I was told first appointment is March 5, when I'll be 10+3, which I bet would mean I'd never get a scan since it seems to take them about 6 weeks to sort. So now I have to wait and call on Monday to see if any alternative is possible.

I think I might just stick with a sling if I get that far. Fab for public transport - everyone used to give up seats for us, and also great for people paying baby lots of attention. Dd hated her pram for months and still have pliko pramette can use if want to. Just hope that dd will be a more determined walker by then - she wants to walk everywhere, but swaps between snail pace and galloping enthusiasticaly along like a horse.

Sorry - just rambling on and on and on - you can all wake up now

Thanks for the welcome.
I still don't feel pregnant and after talking to my MW, she is arranged for me to have an early scan this wednesday after considering my medical history and age,I am almost 41.
I will let you know what happens.
Have a great weekend

Potxola I've been exactly the same. Hardly any sickness and tiredness has even died down lately. I'm almost 38.

I had an early scan last week due to bleeding and have been bleeding again this week, but as cervix is closed and I have 12 week scan next week, they didn't scan me this time. Am trying really hard not to worry about it. It's so difficult though.

Hope the scan is reassuring potxola.

I'm very at my typing, just too lazy and slapdash to check what I type. I can spell, honest

Hello guys
Very quiet on here today...It must mean you all have an actual life and are starting to feel better. (Either that or u have started a new thread and not told me !)
Thank you for all of your kind words of encouragement.
I have actually had 'quite' an ok day . The feeling is still there but I am managing to ignore it . I have walked to my local village pub with my ds and dh, we had some lunch there ( a small plain ham sandwich) and the best bit is that it has stayed down...........so far!. My Ds loved playing on the swings.
Good luck with the scans next week sunshine and poxtxola and I hope you get yours sorted soon splish.
Enjoy your weekend girls

i have not been on here for so long now so i am sorry i dont recognise many of you, but i wanted to ask if someone could please take me off the very top of list as we were told on tuesday that despite thinking we were eaxctly 11 weeks pregnant i had suffered a Missed Miscarriage and our baby had died at 6 weeks and 2 days old, i had to go and have a D & C and feel like a total train wreck now, but we will be trying again soon..

but i dont think i can be back here for a while, so i wanted to wish all of you (especially the girls on the earlier posts) way back when we started the due in sept thread..ALL THE BEST LUCK IN THE WORLD, for me it seems nature has played a cruel trick but we will fight back next time.

Goodbye girls may your babies be wonderful and healthy!
Love Lockets24

So sorry to hear what you're going through Lockets, and I would really recommend the mc avengers thread for support if you could do with a virtual helping hand through this tough time x

Lockets,
nature can be very, very cruel. I'm so sorry to hear your horrible news.
I wish you all the best for next time and lots of hugs for now.

Leonie

I truly understand what your going thru, you could be describing me! I feel sooooooooooo empty and thats making even more nauseous. Have you tried homepathy? It was recommended on a morning sickness thread. I dont know where to start thou. Not sure if I would just worry about taking something else.

Lockets I am thinking of you at this sad time .

Leonie, they say it reaches its worst around 9-10 weeks before it tails off. I see you are bang in the middle of this like me, SO there is hope! I have been sucking a few fruit pastiles this morning for the sugar to help with the blood sugars. Have you anyone who can help you with your dd?
Good luck with the day leonie.
