[suey2]

Hello

Suey..your right I would have felt obliged to eat it all if Id complained so was better to just hide it under some veg!

James- have a lovely holiday

Sophie- congrats on the twins, cant beleive we have 2 sets of twins on this thread

Sophie - hello and congratulations on the twins, theres another thread on here starts D'you think.......... in the multiples section, think they are a friendly bunch and will give you pointers, am sure you will be fine and cope fine, just seems daunting just now, stay here of course wasn't meaning get over to the twin thread lol

I am so tired am off to bed in a bit

thanks sweetkitty, but i can not find it.
Could you point me in the right direction please.

Sophie, I'll link you as SweetKitty has gone to bed. I think this is the latest multiples thread and it's only just started so you can jump in without having to read too much, but theres a whole multiples section here so plenty to read up on!

Is it bad that eating the chocolate cake and milk I've been craving all day has instantly cured my ms?

Wow, who'd have thought May would be this popular! Congrats and welcome to all the new guys. I'm just about keeping up with the thread but don't have much time left to post once I've finished reading. Luckily other people have usually raised my concerns so I haven't had to post recently.

I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and starting to feel tired and rubbish now. At least this time I know what to expect and that it will get better. I've spoken to a lovely midwife who is coming out to do a booking appointment next week. I'm keen to know what's on offer in this area as I had DS in London, judging by the posts so far I'm sure it'll be different.

Morning all! I've been up a bit longer than I would have liked thanks to dd getting very worked up quite early - I just hope she isn't like this all day. I'm taking her to the GP later so hopefully that will sort things out.

Welcome to the newbies and congrats on the twins

Welcome to the new mums and another set of twins .

Feel so so sick, dreading work tomorrow .

Watch this video, made me smile early on a Monday morning. smile

Hollyoaks thats really cool! mad me smile.
Not feeling too sick at the mo, but not had brekkie yet, dd wants cake and to put on her spider outfit (halloween!)... think it's going to be one of those days ;)

Hollyoaks - thanks for the video link, that's fab

Welcome Sophie and congratulations on your twins!

I'm feeling soooo sick now, the only thing I fancy is chocolate cereal. Absolutely exhausted as well.

Positivethinking - don't worry, it is an old wive's tale, I'm sure you'll be fine

heffa chocolate for me too! Its the only thing I could face. Mint imperials are starting to make me feel blurgh and I'm sick to death of rich teas.

After a horrible weekend enjoyed my honey nut shredded wheat this morning, probably not the greatest pregnant breakfast but no history of allergies and i enjoyed it!

Sorry I fell off the thread but kept forgetting to name change and don't want people to find out first here

Hi to Sophie and good luck with the twins, there was a lady on my Nov 08 thread who had twins after an singleton, think she was merrymarigold, lovely but obviously busy now

Hope those feeling sick feel better son, I seem to be OK as long as I'm not hungry which turns into nausea - lucky I know

Morning everyone, just reading the comments about how everyone is feeling sick, I don't feel sick at all and apart from BFP absolutly no pregnancy symptoms at all, this is worrying me as I had everything with DS, anyone else like me experiencing no symptoms yet, am 9 weeks

Hi ladies

Hope you all had good weekends. I actually have an 'Am I Being Unreasonable' question for you all, which I don't think merits its own thread!

Went out with my girlfriends on Saturday night and had warned them in advance that I wouldn't be drinking as "I'm going to have a month off the booze so that I can shift a final few pounds before the wedding" ... a reasonable excuse, non?

A couple of them had raised eyebrows when I told them, so I jokingly said it's a good job they're my best friends as if anyone else had questioned me, I would have told them to stop being so goddamn insensitive.

Anyway, half way through the evening and one particular friend was trying to make me try her drink. I kept saying no, and then ten minutes later I heard her ranting, "Look at her, she's sat with her arm across her stomach all evening. AND she wouldn't try my drink"

... at which point, I lost my rag a bit and told her that if she wanted to ask me if I was pregnant, she could but I wish she'd stop being so effing inappropriate.

Now, I know she's one of my best mates and she loves me and is just excited, but AIBU to think that bearing in mind it's only 12 weeks since we lost our first baby, that she could have kept her suspicions to herself rather than broadcasting them like a fishwife to the whole bar?

Have been feeling guilty ever since, and now don't know whether to text her and 'fess up.

Growingbump - I have never had PG symptoms, with DS NOTHING changed, I was terrified before my 12wk scan because it didn't feel real. With DD I went off coffee and more couldn't be bothered eating than couldn't face eating although there was one time frying mince for tea the smell was horrid so my portion got fed to the cats!

Viv - meant to say I think your excuse was very clever and your friend should grow up enough to respect your decision. If I was so close to a first m/c I would probably have burst into hormonal tears and thrown her drink at her!
So well done you!

Thanks headinawhirl that makes me feel a bit better although won't be happy until that 12 wk scan arrives! Have had a lot of cramping in back for 24 hours, just feel a bit yuk!

anyoen with spd already, im in week 9. it sucks

Hi viv no, you're not being unreasonable, she was being insensitive.

Welcome to newbies! Hobnob thanks for the twiglets tip, will deffo try!

I have started to tell people. Am lonely , need support! Feel like a bit of a saddo but have only just moved to the area, don't know anyone here. Thank God for you lot!

Also a bit angry with a friend of mine - she was one of the first people I told, and she must have spent the next 4 hours on the hotline, because the next thing EVERYONE in that group of friends knew. Kept calling people to tell them and they would say 'I know, Vicki told me'! But was looking forward to telling people myself! With the constant &&*^ing MS, spreading the news is the ONLY thing we have to look forward to! Managed to shut her up now. Cross though.

Now also completely terrified that I have jinxed everything + wish I had waited til scan. V upset. Tearful. HORMONES!

Self-pitying rant over...

Morning fellow pregnant ladies, am sitting here scoffing crumpets with butter and jam, still have this sodding headache that I have had all weekend, have take a few paracetamol but they don't usually shift it.

Exciting news here was I went to see the GP this morning, he was in a right faff with his wee wheels so told him LMP 1/08/09, EDD 08/05/10 had a scan baby as it should be, pregnancy no 5 then I told him this is the very last one and I will be back to get spayed! He also made the shelling peas joke, only a man eh thats never been in labour would say that, yes I had a fast labour but it still hurts like hell, anyways that's me in the system now.

Jennylee - yes it does suck I am getting the odd twinge now, it's in the post for sure, got it at 15, 15 and 12 weeks before.

Viv - poor you, I would have probably just told them as I would have been so fed up. A tactic I have used is order a drink, take a few tiny sips then "lose" leave it at a table or something then do this about 3 or 4 times, by then everyone else is so drunk they forget about you. It's especially hard being pregnant so soon after a mc you are literally counting every day but remember the chance of having 2 mcs in a row is very rare, theres a 20% chance of one each pregnancy and a less than 5% chance of two in a row, odds in your favour.

Suppose I should go sort out the house a bit then

how come when you have nausea &/or sickness you feel miserable then when it goes away you feel miserable??
i have to wait til mid nov for my 12 week scan and thats ages away
think cos i was working last time i didn't have time to stress and worry so much lol!

Hello ladies, Just wanted to say the tube is less than fun now! Felt horribly sick this morning and my heightened sense of smell not really helping things. Moan over!

hmmm...definitely need to crack on with potty training dd, smelly nappies + nausea = bad result!

Ive been feeling really rough the past few days.. really nauseous Much rougher than I ever did with DD.

Rang the midwives this morning to get the ball rolling. They will post an appointment to me with a form to fill in for my scan. Theses 12 weeks are really dragging!

Welcome to the newbies and wow on another set of twins!

Sophie- My dr told me twins mums feel much worse with morning sickness, and im interested if his theory is right.. How are you feeling?

Really not in the mood for DD's swimming lesson later but needs must. Just have to try not to do too much jigging about with her.

Having an unbelievably bad day. Emergency work advice required please.

The powers that be have pulled the plug on my project, which means that other than tying up + handover I am out of work effective immediately. I am self-employed. The company I contract to have said they may or may not be able to find more work for my team and that they are trying to work out what to do next. It's run by two very nice women who I get on well with.

I am trying to work out whether or not I should tell them about pregnancy now instead of in a month, after scan, as planned. What do you think??

morning sickness + hormones + bad news =

sweetkitty I've got another scan tomorrow after my bleeding episodes, so am thinking that if all is well tomorrow, I might text her and 'fess up, but make it clear that she really pissed me off on Saturday and that I thought she might have been a bit more sensitive about stuff considering my history.

To be fair, it's just the way she is - she's been single for years and as the last person in our group to become attached, I think she always saw me as the last of her single friends. Now I'm getting married and having a baby, I wonder whether she feels like I've deserted her.
