Due in Nov 2005??!!!

[rodeo1]

Hello!

I'm starting a Due in Nov thread! A bit early maybe, but hey! By my calcs(!) I'm due Nov 3rd, are there any other ladies out there around the same time? I'm sure loads for Nov haven't even missed their period yet!

Anyway, I'm 27
pg no 4, dd1 born ar 26 weeks, sadly didn't make it, but now happily have dd2 age 5 and ds age 3 next week. And 1 lovely dp of 7 years!

Sorry if you've read this for a 2nd time but was advised by sallie to post on here!! x x x

Cha Cha yep it's true that prescriptions and dental care are free from now until the baby is a year old.

Hellkat what a nightmare for you, hope you're feeling better.

Diddle I'm with Cha Cha, why not take some time off work, tell thenm you've got the same bug Hellkat had, no one needs to know what the real reason is and I'm sure your dr would sign you off for a week if your comapny are difficult about sickness. There's nothing in any job that can't wait a week or be covered by someone else. Take care of yourself and let the company worry about themselves for a change, they might even realise how indispensible you really are. By the way my job before I became a sahm was in HR but once I found out I was pregnant my whole atttitude to work & what was truely important changed dramatically.

Hi all,
Just back from GP, a great doctor she is too
I've got my booking appt for 3 weeks time..is all starting to feel more of a reality now!
Last night was terrible - really really sick and emotional. Lisalisa, i'm with you, the house is really annoying me at the moment, I usually have a very strict routine as I work and study - its all gone to pot.
I hate food too! Ginger ale is going down a treat though..anyone for a glass?

Not much chance of time off, i'm a self employed childminder so i would be leaving a lot of people in the lurch with no cover at such short notice. Already had 2 weeks off in the last 2 months, plus the odd day for appointments etc. can't risk losing my business unfortunatley. but hubbe and i plan to have a relaxing weekend just for us, where we can stay in bed with a film is we want to, and just enjoy each others company.

Hey Diddle,
That sounds good and I think it's a great idea. Nothing nicer than a cosy weekend for the two of you in front of a good movie

Hey everyone,

For your information:

Tonight (Thursday) at 9pm - 11.10pm

Here's an ambitious film, a poetic account of life inside the womb from the point of view of a growing baby. As we follow the course of a pregnancy from a cloud of hopeful sperm all the way to the drama of labour, Roger McGough reads mini-poems for each stage, and a second voiceover delivers amazing facts on foetal development. The poetry and narration dovetail nicely, but it's the images that make this so special - a foetus squidging its nose, or trampolining around the uterus, or hiccupping. Which of these moments are achieved by special effects - a mixture of models and computer-generated imagery - and which are real, taken by uterine cameras, becomes impossible to tell, and it hardly matters when the story is so well told. What must be genuine are the amazing ultrasound scans of a foetus looking as if it were made of mud, wriggling and grimacing in real time, and a pair of twins jostling each other in the womb. It's captivating stuff.

ChaCha are you currently living in Oxford or Banbury or somewhere else? I loved living in Oxford but found Banbury a little odd, wondered if that was just me! Does the ginger ale really work for you, it is one think I haven't tried!

Diddle - your weekend sounds perfect - wish I could do some of that - hubbie at work on Saturday!

Thanks Chacha, will look out for that. On second thoughts, will record it as there is no way I will stay awake til 11!!!!

Enthusia - we both used to work weekends and it is so nice now not to have to work any. Hope the weather is really grotty and we can't go anywhere then we can just get cosy on the sofa.

Ginger nuts worked for me, a little. but my m/s has never been to the point where i was actually going to be sick, just nauseous.

How's it going Enthusia?
I still haven't done much to be honest and it's almost Friday (ahhhhhhh!)I did clean the bathroom though AND put some washing on, so some brownie points purlease!
I didn't like Banbury at all - strange place. Oxford is great - but then i'm biased ;)

Have just discovered the delights of Green & Black's Organic Mint Chocolate...and i have to confess to a rekindled love of monster munch (childhood favourite) have just seem my way through a roast beef, pickled onion and flaming hot... one minute i hate food and the next minute i'm scoffing the lot..oh well...

I take it all back..am not doing so well
Sicky, sicky sicky

Ooh Chacha, I really want some monster munch now, I love them too!! Had some salt & vini snack attacks earlier but they're not a patch on pickled onion MM!

does anyone else feel like they post on this thread but get no responses or it is just me being paranoid?

Aw yingers - I'm always posting at daft times, I can't sleep tonight, have already been in bed but wondering and worrying about silly things (currently what i'm going to wear next week on my overnight trip to London, what i can wear to make me look less fat, what bag to take, how i'm going to fit everything in it, blah blah, etc., etc.)

Just come down to put bin out (in dressing gown, dodgy as i've lost the belt), bring washing in I've forgotton to bring in earlier and made a hot choc to help me feel sleepy not working as of yet!

Also just finished reading my current read - shadow of the wind, which I loved but now I'm sad because it's ended. Has anyone read anything good recently that they would recommend?

Think I'll go to bed when life of grime's finished!

x x x

Just thought, they're not snack attacks are they, they're snack-a-jacks! Hoho!

Morning all,
Thankyou for the get well soon wishes! Yep feeling nearly 100%. Think I might have inadvertedly given up smoking to? I had cut down to under 5 but since getting ill, they taste foul (as does coffee). Shame 'cos I loved coffee . Going to give it until tomorrow and if cigs still taste minging then that's it for me (been long time too).
Diddle- So great to see you! Oh I envy your weekend You deserve it though (make sure you get it).

ChaCha - oh good glad you don't live in Banbury - didn't want to offend - nor do I want to offend anyone else on here who lives there or knows it! I just hated it, couldn't wait to move!

I am now tending to feel pretty good in the mornings and crappy by 1pm - when I wake up I would say I even feel quite normal - which is a relief. By bedtime though I feel sick and so emotional. Yesterday went shopping with DH to Debenhams as have a sale and just couldn't hold it together - everytime I saw a baby I would well up and I just felt SSOOO awful! We had to come home and curl up on the sofa.

Funny you should mention monster munch and organics choc - I also have a variety bag of MM in the cupboard as of a week ago - and the other night cuddled up with green and blacks 70% coco solid dark choc - I hate dark choc!!!! This is turning out to be a very spooky alliance - wouldn't you agree!?!?!

Today I do not have much planned, although I must look at some work. Also want to do something special for DH as he is having a hard job at work. He hates his job and wants to leave but feels trapped as does not know what he wants to do. Think I will investigate leaving the 'ratrace' and doing something completely different - living abroad again would be quite fun!!! I know I can't face the thought of going back to work either at the mo, if I could quit now with no bad feelings or worries I def would. Does anyone else feel/ have felt like this? It is as if my whole piorities have changed over night!!!

Hellkat - glad to hear you are feeling better and are on the mend.

Yingers - sorry you feel like that I try and talk to everyone - but sometimes by the time I have read all the threads and get down to write my own I forget to mention people/stuff - it is rather long on here now isn't it!

Rodeo - I don't know what books you are into but have you tried 'The Time Travellers Wife' or 'The Lovely Bones' or 'Ps I Love You' they are all a bit sad in different ways but completely gripping and had me engrossed!

Anyway better stop going on or you'll all get so board I will be left alone on the thread!

BYYEEE

Hello, jenjam here. felt all warm when i scrolled down and saw your note Enthusia asking whether Iàm still around-alive-pregnant. i am but have been working in Milan this week so little opportunity to go online. has been hard this week keeping things secret, i have spent entire time lying to colleagues about why I am not drinking job involves lots of socialising dinner etc 0 excuse typnig the keys are sticky at this hotel computer. havenàt had a drop whole of first trimester until last night when I sipped half of a glass of champagne during celebrations.... i feel a little bit guilty today . have not yet got a booking in date yet...seems to be taking forever......and I donàt have very many preganancy symptoms apart from big sore boobs, but even those are becoming part fo the furniture and choc addiction a la everyoen else. glad to hear everyone talk to yuo all next week. JenJam

yingers - sorry if you felt that you were ignored. Its such a busy list with so many of us posting that soemtimes things get missed.What was it you asked? ( sorry have scrolled down but cant find it).
Enthusia - I see you asked about hot flushes! Yes I've been feeling very warm and cant stand to be in the kitchen unless the back door is wide open. The rest of the family are complaining of the cold. I never had this is the last preg, even at the end. But that was in the winter...sod's law!!!!!!
How are the rest of you feeling today?????

Jenjam - there are some antibiotics you cant drink with - I think its metronidazole. You are obviously such an old lush normally.....

hello, just popped my head in to read the posts ive missed, been feeling v v grotty last few days, was up last night at 12 being violently sick, it seems to be a lot worse this time than with ds :-(
hope everyone is well and will resume normal posting when i feel a bit more normal xx

Tah all, guess I am being a bit paranoid, think it is all the hormones raging around. Part of it is my fault though as I don't post as much as I would like, laziness always wins!

Krist - a number of things, morning sickness, the inability to trust your body after a m/c, and the need to clean!

rodeo - what type of books do u normally read?

and yes this thread is rather long!

morning everyone! sorry i have not posted for a while.I have had my mam down for a few days and the kids are still off for easter, i can't wait to get back to normal.Diddle your weekend sounds great, just what you need. Is anyone else booking at Tameside or stepping hill hospitals?? or does anyone have any experience of them???
any way must go and do some washing for it walks to the machine itself

did anyone watch the baby in the womb prgram last night? i bet you were all fast asleep by then. wanted to see if any of you thought it was any good. I've recorded it, not in the right frame of mind to watch it at the moment, but i have always been interested in that sort of thing, always wanted to be a midwife. So will watch it in a few weeks when my emotions are in check. What did you all think of it?
