Don't be cranky colinsmommy , hope you dh and ds feel better soon. Congrats on hitting 12 weeks too!

ps. if you don't smile, I might have to find more naff BlackAdder websites and subject you to more Brit humour!

Is that a promise? I'm laughing already. (really, I am)

Thanks guys BP etc is all fine which is the main thing, but it turns out i have a virus so was given a prescription for paracetamol so i made sure i got the right one i could take when pg, which made me giggle a bit cause if they had just told me i really wouldnt have minded paying the 69p that i saw it for in the chemist while i was waiting half an hour for it to be ready.
haha champs your so right i even got scared to ask if this or that was normal cause i was usually told to pack my bag and get straight to hospital and kept in for days, one midwife actually said to me after ds was born "oh thank god you have a baby this time you wont have to come back" im sure she meant it in the nicest of ways

lol!! josey, i'm sure she did too glad you're doing good.

Hi hub2dee - glad to know that someone else from July thread is over here too.

Twiga - congrats on reaching 12 weeks - how are you feeling - nausea gone?

colinssommy - how are you now?

Hope you feel better soon josey.

Saw midwife yesterday for blood and check up. Got to hear the heart beat. Was reassured as I thought I'd felt movement but then it seemed to go away. Am 16 weeks so expecting things to 'kick in' (pardon the pun) quite soon.

I'm poorly, I've got pleurisy and I'm in so much pain that I haven't slept properly since Tuesday night. I'm having to take antibiotics and maximum dose of paracetamol, unfortuanately they don't really touch the pain, last time I had it I took heavy duty pain killers. I'm very uhappy and very worried, as the doctor said if I have a temperature then my baby will too, she listened to the heartbeat and it was nice and strong, but even so, still very frightened. I can't look after DS as I can't pick him up or anything, I'm just lying in bed feeling like poo. My mum has had him and DH has had to take some time of work, this morning DH had to give me a bath and wash my hair, now thats real love.

Moan over, DS is now settled in his new room and after a couple of nights running in to us at 3 and 5am he's now sleeping through and we are thrilled and relieved. I've alo had my first craving, on sunday for tea I wanted mash. Nothing else, just mash!!

kate, that you are so poorly. My mum had pleurisy when i was young, so you have my sympathies, it's bloody awful!

Well, pg brain has well and truly kicked in here. I decided to catch the bus into town, but only got it by the skin of my teeth because I'd got the time wrong. Went to catch the bus back and missed it because ... I'd got the time wrong again! (and this after checking with the driver what time he was leaving!). I had to get a taxi down to the ferry (argh! that was an expensive mistake to make!). Then I sat on the ferry with my nose in my mag, didn't realise it had docked, and it almost turned round and went off with me still on it ... I had to dash out of the passenger lounge before the ramp went back up God how embarrassing ...

Kate100 sorry to hear you're so poorly - how miserable. I hope it gets better soon.

Eulalia--- awww cant wait to hear baby's heartbeat.
kate100--- so sorry you feel so rotten, hope you recover soon ( haven't heard of illness so excuse me if it is something that stays but is treatable, I sound very dense!!) bless your DH and glad your ds has settled in.
miaou--- lol, I really dont mean to laff but you did cheer me up.
hi azure!

Kate100 sorry to hear you are poorly, i really feel for you, you seem to be getting everything you must be so done in the dumps i know i would be - thoughts with you.
Maiou - like wise i know i shouldnt laugh but hehehehe i just have vissions of you realising that the ferry had turned round - glad it didnt or you DH might have locked you away till babs was born
well im still suffering from the headaches so better go before DH comes back and catches me on a computer
hi to everyone else hope your all doing fine

Hi there, I am 19 and 17wks pg and very lonly! am looking for other mums-to-be to chat to!!!!!

Welcome hub2dee and congrats on your first.

Kate100 - you poor thing, what a horrid thing to have. Hope the temp comes down soon - if it helps, I had a dose of bronchitis with ds at about 14 weeks and had a terrible temp for 2 days and he was fine.

Beachyhead - yes, I think I am going to Tommy's - I had dd there and think in general they are very good. But I would love a homebirth although I know I will be advised against it. We'll see. Where do you live, by the way?

Hi tiggerintum - welcome. Sorry you're feeling lonely but stick around, read some of the other threads and I bet you'll find lots to chat about. I've got to rush and do dinner now but hopefully see you around on the threads!

Hello tiggerintum (ace name!) - I too am a bit lonely atm having just moved house and don't know many people - mumsnet is my crutch and vital support! What is your due date? And whereabouts are you?

I am due in July (around the middle, they cant make their minds up) & I live in a villiage called Fordingbridge in between Salisbury and Bournemouth.

How about you?

Kate100 sorry to hear aboiut your pleurisy..I had that in sept last year when ds2 was 7 weeks iyts very unpleasant, I still have a pain every now and again in my ribcage where my pleurisy was worse..make sure you get plenty of rest as it wipes you out..poor you getting it when you are pregnant trouble with beibg preg is that it lowers your immunity. Hope evryone else is ok. Mys sicness is easying off at last..is now bearable and not preventing me from getting on with things..however have a roaring ear infection..sigh!! I am nearly 13 weeks.. but no sign of a bump yet under the baby flab I hadnt got rid of yet!!

tiggerintum - I'm due July 31st, and live in Northern Scotland, I somehow doubt we will bump into each other! This is bub no. 3 for me (have two dds who are 6 and 7).

Hi all
sad to hear some of you arent doing so good! Hi to tiggerintum!

I had my dating scan and saw the baby for the first time. They have changed my dates I am now due around the 16th of august but I am sure that this will change again at the next scan as it always does!! I asked if she could see what the sex was at this early stage and she said she wouldnt like to say she was possitively sure until the 20 week scan but she thought it might be a boy! We dont really mind what we have next as we have one of each already but it is nice to know!

Hope your ear infection is better today spacecadet!

Dazie great news about your scan. How exciting - a boy like me (well, probably, in both our cases). DH mentioned to DS about the baby (I wasn't go to tell him just yet, but nevermind) and DS has called him Thomas, after his best friend (who also has a baby sister). He insists it will be a baby sister called Thomas, though, so he hasn't quite got the idea.

Tiggerintum - welcome to Mumsnet. There is a "Due in July 05" thread as well, but feel free to stay with us on this one. Sorry to hear you're feeling lonely - it's difficult if there aren't many people in the same boat to chat to in real life. Finding Mumsnet is a life-saver.

Spacecadet glad the sickness is easing off, though sorry to hear about the ear infection. I still have a stinker of a cold and finally went to the pharmacy this morning to get some drugs - the only thing he would let me have was paracetamol, though.

Hi everyone - been gone so long it's hard to catch up with you all; I've been going to bed right after DTs (8 pm) so haven't had any time whatsoever to get online.

So much has been going on with everyone! Sorry to hear some of you have been having such a hard time...

My first scan will probably be a lot later than the rest of you, so I'm not even for sure about my due date. We haven't decided for sure what we are doing with this one; we are having a private midwife round next week to discuss home birth. If her prices prove too distressing (Can't believe I am only 5 years in UK and so spoiled by "free" NHS), we will probably go back to idea of NHS home birth.

Hello everyone. I think I am suffering from not having enough to do atm. Have stopped working (due to moving house) and dds and dh are out all day, and I am just getting SO anxious about everything... My mw is lovely and says to ring her with any worries I have, but these are all about the birth etc, which is still a long way off! I breezed through my previous pregnancies so to feel so anxious is quite a shock to me.

hi girls.......blimey lots to catch up on!!

well i'm still waiting for my scan, next Thurs at 4pm and it seems like ages away!!

went to see my friend and her new baby at the weekend and she is soooooo adorable......lots of lovely soft dark hair.

i've been feeling much better as far as the nausea is concerned but i have a recurring problem with tension in my neck/shoulder muscles which hasn't been a problem for about two years and this week has come back with a vengeance and is giving me crippling headcaches. compared to what some of you are coping with i feel like a wimp moaning about it though!!!

take care everyone!!

Miaou I to am feeling quite anxious about this pregnancy my other two were quite straight forward but this time Im a bit worried that some thing might go wrong, dh husband says I shouldnt worry about it things will be fine. Im putting it down to hormones and tiredness as I seem to worry and get anxious in the evenings and have to go to bed to stop myself thinking about things.

Im sure moving house must add soooo much more pressure to the situation. If you dont mind me asking what are you most anxious about??

Atm I am most anxious about getting to the hospital on time. I really don't want a home birth, I don't think dh does either, but I am coming round to the thought that we may have to be prepared for that possibility.

I am planning to go to the local midwife unit - it's only 8 miles away but - and here's the complication - the first 1/4 mile is across a loch, and the ferry doesn't run between 8pm and 7am! We could drive round the loch but it's about 45 miles to hospital then, and I'm sure we wouldn't make it in time.
