Over here ladies-can't believe we have a 2nd thread already.

Ah, see I would probably move the girls in together now and leave the room a few months, then go on to the decorating etc. It would eliminate the possible issue of feeling pushed aside for the new baby if there is a gap between moving room and it being turned into nursery. Does that make any sense? Am I echoing parents ?

Will the baby be in it straight away or spend a bit in with you anyway?

I am being very head in sand w/r living arrangements. I love my house to bits, we have a good landlord, good rent... but we won't fit in it forever. At most I would say we can stay until mid 2011, but that is at a push, squishing in children and mixed sexes etc. I think being realistic we will have to think about moving next March I am ignoring it until we have a child in our arms though - no use worrying now, and I refuse to move until I have to, mainly because it is too expense, too much stress, and will completely freak out DD.

I am on isotonic sports drink stuff atm, desperately trying to feel human for my night out.

Treats - great scan pic!I can't wait for mine, these weeks seem to be soo dragging. Have almost told my mum a few times but am stil keeping shtum.

Hi everyone(waves)and congrats to the newbies
I am feeling ^fanstastic* tonight! After a week in agony with an infected tooth,the antibiotics finished on Thursday and the pain came roaring back. My own dentist is still off sick and no-one would take over his cases yesterday so they told me to ring emergency dentist. Apparently, pregnancy can do strange things to your teeth -I'd never have guessed! Had some sort of fever last night where I thought white anys were crawling all over me and couldn't stop sweating-not nice but woke up feeling ok.

I saw an emergency dentist today who took one look at me, took my temp and said "this has gone on long enough, the pain is not good for you or the baby." She started root canal treatment there and then. I can't put the relief into words.

Most of my other symptoms have disappeared apart from the terrible car sickness and nausea/vomiting in late afternoon and evening. My sense of smell is mad- I've gone off foods that I normally love(like fish) and I retch if anyon eats it near me. Is this normal?!

HappyTangerine-how awful for you. I hope your tooth nightmare is soon over. DH put some pickle on his plate and I had to leave the room and I normally love pickle.

Crampy again tonight so must be lots of strething going on.

Have a good evening girls.

Prisci - I am so sorry for your loss and thinking of you.

I haven't spoke to my MIL for over a year as she is so obnoxious.

When we first married we took her to my childhood home to meet my mum in Lincolnshire. Whilst we were eating lunch in my mum's house I was talking about how lovely it is up north. She replied 'oh well of course people only live in the north because they HAVE to'.

She spent the first ten years of our narriage telling us not to have children - if she could have her life again she would never have any (how charming for dh to listen to that). Dh takes ds to see her every week and that's my time off!

Needless to say she hasn't called to congratulate me!

Morning all,

woke up this morning feeling really achey and tired sort of cold like syptoms, not sure if it is the start of a cold or just a weird pregnancy thing. I really don't want to go to work. But don't have much choice!

HC I don't understand why your parents have a say in where your dd's sleep? Do you live with them? If not surely its up to you, young children are so adaptable. If you can sell it right they will probably be really excited!

HappyTangerine Your tooth ordeal sounds awful, so glad the dentist finally sorted it for you! Must be relief to start feeling normal again!

Treats Wow that scan is so clear much better than my 12 week scan last time arround. So lovely so see how baby like they look so early. Even more excited now about my scan 25 days and counting!

LMB 8+6.

had a lay in this morning until 10.30
feeling good now!

also, first plus of pg: my nails are growing long and not snapping like they normally do

had my booking appt on friday, ds was tantrumming the whole way. not enjoyable. have to call for my scan date on friday.

lovely 8 week scan pic, can't believe that is going on inside me!

hc - i shared a bedroom with my sis until i was 15 yrs old. yes we agued but we are so so close. she is my bf and was maid of honour at my wedding.

dreaded mils eh? mine is difficult too but she adores ds and has been very helpful in the past to our family. everyone is very excited about new baby, she has already said to me that i should have a girl this time though !

hb - don't be upset about your gp, they rally are useless! once you meet your mw you'll feel much happier.

morning ladies

i feel very ill this morning ,my head is banging and i feel very sick,my stomach has gone very flat today too

i keep forgeting to take my folic acid so i hope everything will be ok there,midwife tomorrow and i cant wait to get the scan and everything booked,my dc are being angels today helping me

happy glad your tooth is sorted
littlemiss i hope you feel better soon
devil im very at your lie in

Hi all

Great to hear all your news and that we are all surviving.Another week over yipee.

Iam expecting my 4th could someone change that on the list for me as not very good at I T.

I have nausea alot of the time but no hyperemissis this time amazing.I recon that I am having a boy as sickness with ds not so bad.Unlike hospital on a drip with 2 girls.

Having been desparat to have number 4 I now think that I am completly mad! Does anyone eles feel like this?

Fidelma - I was sobbing on DH this morning that I had changed my mind Too much time has passed since the hyperemesis of the first pregnancy, where the second was "just" normal feeling sick here and there I have been knocked sideways by this. Not helped by a complete lack of support from my mum who was against #3 anyway and is going with made bed lie in it method of support . Plus she is convinced that sickness just needs positive thinking (she of 2 pregnancies and no symptoms).

Tangerine, your tooth situation sounds like hell! So glad it is sorted.

TheBoob - I am forgetting to take mine too - I am going with the theory that where marmite is one of the few things staying in me, I am hopefully getting it from that!

How many people are on anti-emetic type things? I remember them from the first time round, but only really that they made me insanely thirsty - do they just stop the being sick, or the feeling sick too? (So I know whether to beg for some on Weds or not)

mustgetsomesleep I feel for you.I am now going to remind both of us how it is worth all the pain.As I said before I fell preg that 12 weeks of sickness for the lifetime of another person in our lives is more than worth it.I really hope you feel better soon.Get as much rest as possible.

That made me well up, but is true Thank you

MustGetSleep and theboob I'm the same r.e follic acid think i've forgotten a few days too. But i think follic acid is found in small amounts in peas, brocolli, potatoes brown rice, chick peas, asparagus, bananas and oranges. Cornflakes and loads of kellogs cereals have added follic acid. So a little on those missed days is better than none!

Think i've deff got a cold but feeling better this evening. I thik any illness is always worse first thing.

Theboob Sorry that you are feeling lousy today.

Right off to watch trashy t.v and chill out!
Dp is building block towers wih ds and on bedime duty!

Have been so very sick today, I don't think my stomach has any acid left. Couldn't keep anything down at all. Chronic headache too.

Will catch up tomorrow if I feel more human.

Love to all.

Poor HC - hope you feel better tomorrow.

I am going down with a virus I think. Ds already got it, lots of coughing and nose running. The bad part of having children is you used to be able to take a day in bed when ill!

Hi all
Could someone add me to the list.. not sure how myself
My EDD is 16/10/2009.
I don't suppose anyone remembers my post over a week ago.But then I was absolutely symptom free. I had a mc before DS and now I am really worried. I have had no nausea, no boob action, no headaches. With DS I had a headache for months but this time I don't even have that.

But still, no bleeding or spotting either so fingers crossed.

I am in the US as I said before and my booking appointment is on 13th (Friday the 13th eeek!)Hopefully cos it's america and all private I'll get a scan that day.

I have met the doc before a few months ago ( I thought it best to meet with him when I was planning ttc especially since I don't really know the system here and also he was recommended) He seemed really nice so hopefully he will understand my concerns and I can get a scan that day.

I will be 9 weeks by then. For all the healthcare system's faults in Ireland I got a 6 week "reassurance" scan when I was pg with DS as I had had a mc at 12 weeks just a few months before. The cow of a receptionist here wasn't having any of it.

Sorry for being so grim. It's just once bitten.... I don't feel pg at all so won't actually accept it I think until I see the scan. I'm a bundle of mixed feelings really.

Anyway I probably won't post much until I know one way or the other.

Is anyone else on their 2nd or more pregnancy... are the symptoms less ? Anyone got any tips for me?

OK after all that I do have one symptom. I feel really fat... but that may be just due to the fact that I have abandoned the diet!

Hi everyone-still finding it really hard to keep up with the thread
I hope your tooth is feeling much better Happytangerine-sound very nasty indeed

Sending lots of hugs to everyone feeling ill-for whatever reason-i hope it improves very soon!

I just can't stay awake in the evenings when i'd normally catch up on here so i'm trying to do it with dd around-doesn't work very well!!

I'm worried again as sickness has been better-but as I mentioned before it goes in waves of a few bad days/ a few good-so hopefully i'm just in the good.....but i've had some nasty pains as well-maybe TMI but i'm quite sure its very bad trapped wind (esp after the onion gravy dp cooked on fri night!!) it was so bad this morning i was doubled over -i would have been VERY worried had it not been for the big 'release' I had just after Still it does play on my mind A LOT!!!! Roll on this blooming scan is all I can say-at least I'll know one way or another. I'm absolutely terrified of a mmc-my friend had one last year-the whole idea is so nasty-going for a scan where you are expecting to see your lovely healthy growing baby only to learn there is no heartbeat.....
Sorry it is just something really playing on my mind at the moment Roll on the 17th and hopefully we'll get good news!
It is crazy how many weird things your brain does when pg isn't it-I have actually gone a bit crazy

How is everyone else today?

Oh and hi to all the newbies!!!

Sammy i have had some really bad pains also...which i think were wind also . But they were so bad. My worst time is at night, i hate going to bed, im not able to sleep even though im so tired, then for the whole day im wanting to sleep & cant do anything! Thank god i dont work (thank you DH) so at least i can lie down for a while, if DS lets me! Oh well, midewife tomorrow....hope i'll get scan date as im 8 weeks today . Hope everyone is keeping well xx

It's good to hear that i'm not alone littlepea-it does worry me though-it must be really bad trapped wind cos it really does hurt-hopefully the scan will show everything is ok-i'm happy to have trapped wind-as long as it isn't anything worse iyswim!
I'm lucky as well-being at home does mean I can get a bit of rest-if dd will let me I have no idea how i'd be coping if i was at work-really can't remember how i managed last time

Morning all, welcome newbies.

Hope everyone's had a good weekend, I had a very narky DH yesterday. He had a massive (and unrealistic) list of stuff to do yesterday. I suggested taking dd swimming which he jumped at coz he never gets to see her swim, so off we went and we had a fab time. When we got back we had lunch and I was knackered so I went to bed for a bit, when I got up he was really arsey with me, coz he "hadn't got hardly anything done" GGGRRR. I'd had a great day and dd loved having him to play with for the afternoon and I feel like his mood put a downer on it iyswim? I don't think pregnancy is real to him until I've got a bump, and I don't think he believes how sick I feel. It makes me feel a bit isolated, still at least I've got all of you! and its only 3 weeks til my scan, when I can start telling people.

Morning,

sammysam - I've had terrible trapped wind too and it has been quite painful. I know what you mean about the pregnancy nerves. I tend to feel quite sick and tired at the end of the week but after relaxing over the weekend I feel really healthy and full of energy from about Mon-Wed. It really scares me when my symptoms disappear but its better now I know the pattern and I'm just trying to be positive until my scan (3 weeks today!).

smallone - my dp is also just ignoring the pregnancy until the 12 week scan. He doesn't want to tell anyone but also doesn't really want to talk or think about it. I sort of understand why, he doesn't want to get too excited or attached (or stressed) until we know everything is okay, but since I can't speak to anyone else it's annoying he won't discuss things. I don't think he understands how tired and rundown I felt either - to him the baby is pea-sized so he can't see how it has that much of an effect.

Hi to all the newbies and hope everyone is feeling rested and healthy after the weekend.

Hi all, I too am stuggling to keep up with all the postings (doesn't help that I don't ge on much at weekends).

Still feeling sick here. DH bought somerfield own Olive Spread and I could literally hurl the second the lid is lifted off the tub. Fortunately we had people over last week so I have butter in. I can hardly eat anything.

Seven weeks now - it seems an eternity until 12 weeks.

Is anyone else exploding out of their clothes or is it just me because I am on number 3? We had friends over at the weekend and they kept looking at my stomach! We didn't tell them because of only being 7 weeks but they must have guessed!

IDOB it sounds like we're in the same boat, at least we can have a vent on here! I swear he thinks I'm making it up just to be awkward. Just imagine the fuss if they had to have the babies.

Morning all

Not so bad today, must have been the bacon I ate on Saturday that caused the horrendous sickness. Have bought 2 bottles of Soda water this morning as I can't face drinking anything else.

tjtheminx-I do hope all is OK. After I had a MC I begged the MW for an early scan with DD2 but she said no chance, just because you have had one MC it doesn't mean you will have another. Didn't stop me worrying though. I was sick with both DD1 and DD2 so fully expected this sickness. None of my friends suffer with MS. Everything crossed for you.

Am seeing the MW on Thursday and I will be 10 weeks so should get a scan date.

Big wave to everyone, need to unpack the girls' suitcases after their weekend at MIL's. When I can be bothered that is.
