Hello everyone - welcome to all newbies and sorry to those who have had bad news over the last few weeks.

I've not been on for a while as I feel dreadful and am asleep by about 8pm each night. Seabands are helping a little though . DD2 was 2 yesterday so we had playgroup friends over on sat and family on sun - no wonder I feel rough this morn!

Had my booking in appt on friday with a not very nice midwife . She sniggered when I told her it's my 3rd, she did it again when I said I had a epidural with the other 2 (she had no pain releif with hers apparently) and she did it again when I told her I'd done lots of pilates so hopefully spd won't be as bad this time. On top of all that she booked my scan for April fools day - mean! I know the scan date isn't her fault but it still annoyed me...

Sorry, rant over....hope everyone has a good day today.

Hi everyone

This is the first day of my "retirement" from the high flying and insanely stressful sales job. So wonderful to know my boss can't phone me and shout randomly. I initially quit because I wasn't getting pregnant-had to give 6 months notice which clearly did the trick as I fell pg in January! Saved enough to have 6 months off and already have some job offers so they are under strict instructions to ask again in 3 months. In the meantime, I am LOVING the no driving or having to stop on m6 due to ms. Tooth has also been great over the weekend, just a taste of dettol? when I bite down which I can live with-anything but the pain!

Told my mum last night that we were going to come down for mothers day and take her out and have a chat. She said she didn't want to, she wanted to stay in, in case my sister(who is temp working in Austria)phoned. She's a bit thoughtless anyone but I was gutted, really upset.

Sammysam - the trapped wind can be scary can't it,between that and stretching pains, I'm sometime doubled over but only for the odd oment or two.

tjtheminx - positive thoughts, I hope everything is ok

Willmouse-no, it's not just you! I'm off to a wedding on 18th March when I'll be 12 weeks. Nothing fits properly now so my mission this week is to find something that does.

Hope everyone has a good day x

Oh god i cant even open my fridge now, everything smells bad! Does anyone else have this? I was eating toast earlier and i swear it smells like wet dog!

I must admit my dp is only just really being a tad more sympathetic-he really doesn't understand quite how rough i'm feeling-unless he see that i'm unable to move from the toilet so the fact that I can't even think about cooking or going to the supermarket or even washing up hasn't gone down too well!! I do feel bad as he gets back from work and has to do all of the above and I have been at home all day-I just CAN'T do it-some days he is ok but if he has had a bad day it does lead to a few angry words!!! Hopefully i'll be able to start doing some of it soon.....

Happytangerine-it must be so amazing not to have all those stresses now! I hope you manage to find something to wear!! I have a wedding to go to in 5 weeks-I had started a thread about it before I had my BFP and was going to get something sorted early-but now I feel like i need to wait til the last min to make sure whatever i get actually fits and looks ok Have no ideas!!!

Wibbly-I hope you don't get stuck with that midwife the whole way through-she sound lovely
I have the second part of my booking in tomorrow-seems a weird way of doing it! I think its to take bloods etc as they haven't done that yet...it is with a different mw so hopefully she is nice as well! Nasty midwives should retire-tis not what you need when all your hormones are mental!

Littlepea-I had this-EVERYTHING smelt dirty-I haven't noticed it so much recently. Food was bad but I had it with clothes and 'things' to the point where I was washing things that didn't need it and using fabric conditioner to try and make it smell claen longer !!!

Tangerine congrats on quitting the stressful job. I have a day off today and am loving it. I wish I could have more time off. And what is it with mothers? They can be such pains sometimes. I had an MC this time last year, and when I called to tell my mum she said 'how did you manage that then' .

wibbly I am sorry to hear about the MW. Amazing how some people end up in 'caring' professions when they clearly shouldn't be allowed any where near them!

HC - have a lie down and leave the suitcases til later!

Hey Willmouse and Happy Tangerine - I have a wedding to attend too and I'll be 14 weeks pregnant. I'm waiting until nearer the time to buy an outfit so I know it will fit but as I was quite overweight before I was pregnant (about 2 stone too heavy) and have quite a wibbly tummy I am a bit concerned I'm just going to look a bit more fat rather than have a bump. Oh well, haven't put any more weight on since falling pregnant so hopefully won't be much bigger than usual.

Hi all, can't believe how long its been since I've posted, I've been really poorly, can I use that as my excuse.

A little bit of MS, but mostly a really nasty gastro virus - I've lost loads of weight, well, 5lbs is quite a lot for me! so my work trousers fit again now! I was getting quite worried before.

Also, docs weren't sure why I was being so ill so scanned me on Thurs to make sure everything was alright there and it was! They dated me at 7+4, so about 3 days behind where I thought I was and my EDD moves to Oct 12th.

Sadly, DH and I both completely forgot to ask for a picture, I think we were both just so relieved after my previous MC. Still, its a long way to go yet.

So sorry to hear of all those having a tough time, aren't the weeks going painfully slowly?!

Best go, I've got only 7 minutes to eat a second baguette for lunch! (Yep, second, the first one barely touched the sides!)

Well Ive updated myself as I seem to have put the wrong due date before!
I have a wedding to go to and Im the bridesmaid and Ill be 7+ months!
My dp got drunk on Sat and talked so much in his sleep that I barely slept, boy did he get it on Sunday. He says he'll make it up to me......
Glad the tooth is better Tangerine and I really hope you all feel better soon.
Im one of those annoying people who have no symptoms but its still worrying esp when people say that ms is a sign of a healthy pg ahhhh does that mean mine isnt?

Congratulations STT ! It must have been fantastic to see a heartbeat. Have you recovered from the nasty virus now? No wonder you are so hungry - that rotten d+v seemed to hang around for ages.

Forgot to add that with ds2 I had pica, Its when you have those wierd cravings for coal etc. Except that I had it for the smell of the clean wet washing, I used to sit with my face in the wet towels, I even used to suck them . I promise Im not wierd, it really is a medical diagnosis, you cant help it......

I've got a wedding too! I'll be 12wks, I was planning on wearing something I already had but its not a very forgiving fabric so usually wear a "hold you in" body. I'm guessing thats the last thing I'm going to want to wear so don't know what to do. Wont be pg-looking enough to wear anything maternity and don't want to buy anything I won't wear again. I have seen that spanx do some maternity wonder knickers and tights, that hold in everything but your belly, maybe this would give me enough room/clean lines to wear the original dress. Hmmm what to do?

Lol, the bird seed smells the best at the moment. Everything else is foul.

Sparkly-sorry you had such a rough time. Great news on the scan though.

wibbly-I don't really like my MW based on last time so hope she is improved but she is much better than yours.

Am dreading the a)was it an accident? b)are you hoping for a boy? c}aren't you too old at 39? Was over the moon when I went into Mothercare to ask about maternity jeans and the lady never gave me any strange looks and was happy to help.

Message for peachespaige only (as it may concern others) ...... I had my worst ever ms when I had suffered a missed mc. For the 6 weeks between the time the baby died and when I found out I was so, so sick. Right up to the day of the ERPC I was throwing up and by that stage I had known the baby was gone for over a week.

So please don't stress about feeling healthy. We're all different and the ms doesn't really mean anything.

Yesterday i had felt not so bad, so i cut DH's hair, DS decided that for once he would let me do his...it was so bad! He let me do the first part then refused to let me do the rest. I have had to try and finish it today, which isnt good as im feeling so bad, sick, dizzy, headaches...the lot. So i told him if he would let me do it then he could cut mine after. I didnt think he would remember! He running around the house looking for the clippers!!!! Me & my big mouth , roll on bedtime lol..

Hi All,

Glad to see we are all getting along fine with no bad news (yeah!!!) I Have two weddings to attend one in September and one in October - they are really close friends as well so I have to be there. Think I will be wearing a tent! Oh well may have had the little one by the second one so can enjoy a glass or two of champers!!

tjtheminx - when I had ds I felt terribly sick and had really achey breasts but with this one I have none of those symptoms. The only real sign of pregnancy I have is tiredness but that could be down to an active toddler!

lixanismapolium Thank you for the reasurance.
My friend went for har 12 week scan today and found that the baby had died at 9 weeks, shes 13 weeks in.
I hope I havent woried anyone or upset anyone but I cant talk about it to anyone else as noone knows Im pg (my friend did and I feel awful). We were only 7 weeks apart. .

Hi everyone

No symptoms over the weekend - just really tired. DH and I took our first tentative steps into the John Lewis baby department on Saturday and it quickly became apparent that we have a huge difference of opinion about buggies. This one's going to run and run (the debate, that is, not the buggy!) Felt a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of 'stuff' that you can buy for a baby. It brought out the Puritan in me - ours will have the bare minimum that it needs to survive. Of course, I say that NOW......

Went to see a friend with a two month old yesterday. Revealed my news and we spent a happy couple of hours gassing about all things baby. She confirmed that she wasn't using half of the things that she'd bought beforehand.

doggus - my MIL has said she wishes she'd never had children right in front of DH before. I hated her for it, and it will alwayss be a wedge between us .

wibblydibs - at your MW appointment. How upsetting that it wasn't a more positive experience. Hope you don't get her all the way through.

Update me on your wedding outfit choices everyone! I have a wedding to go to in July in Latvia so need something flattering that doesn't get crushed! I'll be 29 weeks.

peachespaige I am really sorry to hear about your friend, I know this may sound insentative but I really dont mean it to be, but did she still have the normal systoms of pregnacy? It really panics me a MMC as my sister had one with her first. Dont feel you have to answer.

xx

Peaches, the same thing happened to me, and people say that there is something wrong with the baby & its your bodies way of getting rid of it, not a nice way to put it, but it is true. For me, when they did tests, the heart stopped because the brain wasnt forming, for me last year, i kept telling myself, what if it had of gone to full term and there was brain damage, it would of been so much worse. This is the longest 12 weeks of my life, the scan will let me know if everthing is ok, and i do need that, i must tell myself that it doesnt always happen. Just be there for your friend, she will really need you. Dont feel bad about being pregnant still, she would feel bad if you did, its her due date that will really hit her, just be there to let her talk. If i can help her in any way, please let me know, I really hope she will be ok.

Sorry posted that twice!

Evening all,

Took ds to the park down the road which is next to a little beach and it was freezing and so windy but he enjoyed himself. I'm exhausted now so hopefully ds will sleep well tonight! Feel much better than yesterday! Just so tired and still hate mornings.

I have a wedding too! Not untill i'm 28 weeks so hopefully i'll have a nice bump by then! I have a lovely Topshop Maternity party dress from my last pregnancy so might dig that out again or treat myself to something new with the maternity grant that we all now get at 25 weeks.

£190! Think we'll put most of it towards a double buggy.

Peaches- i'm so sorry about your friend, stories like that really scare me. I had no worries with ds, that was before mumsnet which is a godsend but doesn't sometimes put the fear of god into you.

sparkly- so sorry to hear that you have been so unwell.

Right better go and cook ds some tea.

Hi there, can I join this thread? I'm about 6 weeks gone with no 3 - we've been trying for over a year and had just about given up when we got a BFP. EDD is 25th October but will probably have to have a C-Section sometime before that as the other two were sections. I've not seen a MW yet but am having lots of lovely and horrible symptoms, including feeling sick, tired and irritable!
