Pamela- when I had ds1..dd1 was actually quite helpful..she would run and fetch his nappies etc (she was 2 when he was born)..she hated him though! of course now they are 18 and 15 they get on well..there is a pic of my 4 on my profile

sweetkitty · 16/10/2009 20:03

ML - you cannot leave me dangling now, what was your old name?

Mine will be 5.10y, 4.4y and 22 months when DB4 is born eek!

memorylapse · 16/10/2009 20:07

you are going to be busy Sweetkitty

I used to be Spacecadet

Yorky · 16/10/2009 20:17

So many from the July 08 thread, as far as I know I'm the second from Nov 08, but the other lady is due a couple of months earlier than I am.
My two will be 3.4 and 18mo when DC3 arrives [scared face!]

sweetkitty · 16/10/2009 20:30

ML - oh goodness of course I remember you, I think I remember you having one mc as well but hey we are both here and everything crossed we will both have a new baby come May.

memorylapse · 16/10/2009 20:34

sweetkitty..yes I had two..but I was poorly with other health problems at the time..couldnt re register as Spacecadet..it wouldnt let me!

sweetkitty · 16/10/2009 20:37

Busy - erm yes sure will be, go from bring it on to absolutely terrified especially as we have no family support, just DP and I but as DP says we have 4 hands

memorylapse · 16/10/2009 21:07

Hi folks, Sorry I haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread - been offline so long it's moved so far. If DH takes DD out for a few hours this weekend I might get a chance to do some catching up!
I haven't been online coz I'm just so tired. Leaving home at 7.45am and not getting home til past 6 then it's an effort to spend time with DD before her bedtime. Once she's in bed I pretty much pass out on the sofa I'm so tired. My iron't low, which probably doesn't help - combined with the stress of work wearing me out. I miss my last pregnancy when I wasn't working and could just relax.
Had my dating scan at last (11+1). Baba measured 4cm which made my dates and their's differ by about a day so staying with current due date.
The team are pleased with my blood sugars so happy for me to stay off insulin for now. I've put on about 5lb already (and am 12wk tomorrow) and that will rocket up as soon as I have to go on insulin so keen to stay off it as long as poss. Found out how often I'll be scanned. 20wk anonaly scan, 22wk detailed foetal heart scan, 26 week growth scan, 30 wk growth scan then fortnightly til delivery. Gonna be sick of the sight of baba by the time he/she arrives lol. The next 8 weeks til my 20wk is gonna drag! Mind you we're off on hols in 2 weeks so that'll help fill the time.
Hope everyone's keeping well, and will try to get caught up over weekend. x

ForcesSweetheart · 17/10/2009 07:41

ugh typos, obviously that should read iron's and anomaly!

Positivethinking · 17/10/2009 08:56

Just wanted to remove myself off list. Had a miscarriage. Good luck to everyone.

Jennylee · 17/10/2009 10:56

sorry to hear that positive.

AnAngelWithin · 17/10/2009 12:16

sorry to hear your news positivethinking

I am 8 weeks today.

well i walked down the stairs last night after having a bath, just put my jogging bottoms on and DH's jaw hit the floor......he said there is no way I can hide my tummy much longer!! I thought my jeans were getting too tight!!

So this morning I am sat here not allowed to do anything due to bleeding again. My own fault. DH and I have now taken a vow of celibacy

pamelat · 17/10/2009 12:35

Cute kids memorylapse

My DD is a real mummys girl, too much so really as DH gets quite offended. I think she will find it hard when DC2 arrives.

pamelat · 17/10/2009 12:35

sorry positivethinking cross posted.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 17/10/2009 12:43

positivethinking, so sorry to hear your news, all the best for ttc again.

Angel, how cute that you already have a bump, perhaps you should take a pic every few weeks to watch it grow! unfortunately I'm such a fatty no-one ever recognises I'm pregnant, not even on my due date! I can't feel the bump yet though, still safely tucked away behind my pelvis so far.

Well, I had a lovely birthday, got lots of chocs and flowers, and went out for a nice meal with dp (I had a salmon fillet with hollandaise sauce, jacket potato and a dressed salad, it was really yummy!)

I think the hormones have officially kicked in now though - I burst into tears at his joking suggestion I was now old (at 28) this morning. He was quite bewildered, bless him! lol

Got my booking in appointment in a couple of hours, I actually can't remember what to expect! I would really like to have this cervical erosion thingy properly diagnosed. But what is the etiquette on asking someone to have a peer up one's fanjo?

AnAngelWithin · 17/10/2009 12:46

james i think i look fat more than anything!!! haha. Glad you had a nice birthday. Good luck with the booking in. I am still waiting for my midwife to ring me. lol at the etiquette!!!

Swangirl · 17/10/2009 12:49

Hi
I am 36 and excepting dc 3 on may 23 I have a 5 year old dd and a 18 month old ds
I am a bit worried that I am 8 weeks and have not seen the midwife yet. I have told my gp and are going to phone the midwife and asked why I have not been seen yet.If the midwife has not contacted me by Wednesday. Do you think I should contact the GP again ?

AnAngelWithin · 17/10/2009 12:50

welcome swangirl. if it will reassure you by all means ring them, they may not contact you til you are 10 weeks though? some places don't.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 17/10/2009 12:55

Swangirl, I'm 9+2 and just seeing the midwife for my first appointment today, they weren't interested in seeing me before that. I would just get in touch with the midwives directly to make sure you are in the system, and ask for an appointment.

memorylapse · 17/10/2009 15:00

sorry to hear your news positivethinking

11+4 today and sick, sick, sick..Ive stayed in bed till 2.00pm DH brought me a cup of tea and I almost brought that up..they have gone out to get DS1 a new coat so im on the sofa in my dessing gown watching Dancing on Ice The Tour.
no sign of a bump for me when I lay on my back in bed today I could just feel the top of my womb..
Angel..try not to panic..its not unusual to bleed after sex..but may be an idea to put that on the back burner till 12 weeks

AnAngelWithin · 17/10/2009 15:11

yes ML, we have declared a state of celibacy haha. Good for you resting!

memorylapse · 17/10/2009 16:00

I have to Say Angel..fair play for actually being up to it...right now its the last thing I want to do!

memorylapse · 17/10/2009 18:18

im whining now..cant keep anything down today..I feel horrific...surely it should be easing off by now,,

ForcesSweetheart · 17/10/2009 18:42

So sorry positivethinking. All the best for the future. x
