Due April 2009 - Time to dance the light scantastic.....

[LittleMyDancing]

New thread as the old one was full!

Oh no!!! How annoying - I agree with the posts CRY and if that doesn't work, CRY SOME MORE!!! Fingers crossed they will be able to fit you in! Good luck with the call tomorrow - let us know how it goes!

I will do - you may be able to hear the wailing, even in Holland Gemzooks!

Oh no! How annoying! & so easily done, especially when pregnant & not at your most mentally astute, shall we say? I'm not even going to go into my stories (how anyone can't remember 4 digits for 10 seconds, for example, is beyond me ) but I can see exactly how it'd happen. They'll have to sort you out though, even if it's not so perfect. It's massively irritating at the moment, but I suppose when you're holding your lovely baby in your arms, it won't be important anymore. I'm sending good luck vibes & hope you get it all sorted as painlessly as possible. Let us know

Thank you!

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing ok. I will be 15 weeks this week. I haven't been feeling very well really - my stomach is so bloated and I have been constipated from the start (sorry - TMI) It is getting me down somewhat but I have changed my diet in an attempt to remedy things.

The baking urges still seem to be there though ditto the crying...Last week I was reading a very old book called 'Ginger's Adventures' to my dd. It is about a dog who gets sent away to live in London and I cried at the bit where Tommy says 'Goodbye Ginger, here's a bone'

I mean - WTF?? I never cry at anything usually.

Can I just put in my vote for the 'I love Christmas' fan club! Already bought and wrapped several pressies - so excited but ditto comments re: mulled wine

mathsmummy how? - How have you bought presents already!!! That is so organised!!! I am going to start this weekend! The boots and Next Xmas catalogues have been taking pride of place on my lounge table for weeks!

Oh electra don't worry it happens to us all - on saturday I accidently knocked DHs lunch on the floor and cried for 2 hours! (it was only a sandwich!!!)

Although I think the baking helps - I was feeling awful on saturday (post tears) and then decided to bake rock buns and felt so much better!

Hope you start feeling better soon!

Good morning - a quick update, rang the Fetal Medicine Unit this morning, no weeping required! My lovely consultant answered the phone, called me a nitwit () and they've managed to squeeze me in for both scans on Friday afternoon.

Hooray!

I think I love them.

I feel awful, my two lovely days holiday with ds in nursery and me on 1/2 term have turned into me being in bed or in toilet with d&v.
Positives am clinging to are heard babies heart beat yesterday with consultant and can feel them moving around so know they alive, really hoping they not affected by me being so ill, haven't eaten much for two days either. boo-hoo
Consultant said yes to vaginal birth - hurrah but from 24 weeks onwards lots of appointments for scans, shoots and tests.

Brilliant news LittleMy!

Pregnancy brain in full gear eh.

I just had to scour my whole house for the sheet of paper with my next scan appointment on it. Not until the 27th! I'll be just over 21 weeks by then.

yay! well done littlemy - probably better on friday since evryone ill right now. hope all goes well.

Ahem - wasn't the 27th yesterday? or do you mean 27th December?

hope so, otherwise pregnancy brain is really on the rampage on this thread!

November

ok, I think i might have to go and lie down and rest my weary brain.......

I made them tell me my new appointment twice on the phone, to make sure I had it right!

I'm normally incredibly efficient, honest!

mathsmummy - how can you possibly have managed that? I thought I was getting carried away, but I'm not that organised. I'm in awe of you!

OddEyes - yay for the vaginal birth! (That sounds a lot stranger if you actually think about it... Argh!) Don't worry about your babies suffering because you're ill. People can have terrible hyperemesis (for example my mum knows someone who's similarly pregnant to us lot who's on cancer drugs for the sickness because she's so ill - by 13 weeks she'd lost 4 stone, without being very large to begin with ) & their babies are okay. It's no fun for you, but they'll be okay.

WhatFreshHell - so pleased you've got it all sorted out. It's amazing how people seem inclined to make allowances now we're pregnant. The November / December confusion after all that made my morning, though

thanks springy.
Just had a mad panic on google searching pregnancy and -d&v, -pistachio nuts (having just eaten lots casue they are nice and salty and only picky food we have in) and -lying on your back! Suddenly got the pregnancy worries back again, know it is cause I am ill and everything will seem ok again tomorrow but can't help myself.
Maybe some online shopping will help, try and catch up with mathsmummy!

I think we just have to keep telling ourselves that women have been giving birth for millions of years, long before we started being given advice about what not to eat / how to lie down / how to breathe. It's virtually impossible to live by every rule - & different cultures have completely different rules anyway, so you know... Of course it's good not to be silly, but try not to add to your worry & discomfort about your illness with guilt about eating whatever it is you can manage

just been reading the birth announcements - can't wait. strange though as miscarriage would have been due now.
can you tell who is ill in bed by her constant posting?!

I was just reading those too! It all seems so distant... I hope you're not feeling too dreadful about the what-might-have-beens. It must be so difficult for you.

I'm currently avoiding writing an essay, hence my presence. Not that I'm not nearly always here blabbering on, but I do feel I'm being a little excessive so far today

Oddeyes what's wrong with pistachio nuts? I really fancy some! I also really want some bubblegum flavour fizzy bottle sweets. Shame that I'm too dizzy and sick to leave the flat

spingy so lovely that your here, it was always my rule that essays are much better if you procrastinate, think because it meant I had to be concise first time rather than trying to cut down my waffle later! what is the title?
want to phone a ton of people and whine but they either at work or on holiday so loving mumsnet.

Swaliswan - nothing pistachio nuts are fine, just a post eaten lots worry moment.
yum fizzy sweets - I want some of them too. consultant said sugar = big baby so sworn of sweets but... i am ill...
sorry you're sick and dizzy - your ok?

"I, being born a woman and distressed / By all the needs and notions of my kind"
(Edna St. Vincent Millay, "I, Being Born a Woman").
Consider the ways in which two poets on the course explore and/or resist notions of femininity.

It's the usual artsy rubbish. It's fine really - I quite enjoy it. But I have MN, online grocery shopping & () Loose Women happening in the background, so it's not going anywhere very quickly.

Swaliswan - I keep getting cravings for that one sugary red gummy bear on that advert for the 'natural' sweets. Every time I see it I just want to pull it out of the screen & multiply it by a few thousand. ... Suddenly feeling like I sound a bit crazy... Why are you feeling dizzy & sick?

Just because I'm pg Springy and my first trimester morning sickness and dizziness has persisted into the second trimester. I was the same with DD. I'm really hoping that it ends soon because I can't take much more time only being able to lie down on the sofa.

Oh, poor you. I had pretty bad morning sickness & think I was saved from the worst of it by my anosmia (I can't smell, so miss out on most of the triggers, thank God - never thought I'd appreciate it until I realised how much worse I'd probably have been!), so I'm glad that I'm generally feeling much better & have nothing but sympathy for you Is it no better this time around at all?
