Glad to be here at last!

hoorah hereshoping, welcome to you and your little fighter!!

morning all

heres glad you feel up to joining us..congrates on your ds2b
bonkerz glad ur infection has cleared up.
DQ well you should have known better than to mention a body stocking

not a lot going on here...apart from had panic last night as havent used doppler in ages cos of nemo moving about but decided to last night and it took me 15mins to find baby...i was nearly crying..lol Obviously i think it was jus tthe way i was lying.

take care all

Morning everyone,
Heres, how lovely to see you & what fantastic news about your scan and your new DS. I do hope that the rest of your p/g is a bit calmer for you.
I'm getting very scared with all this talk of stretch marks & split nipples - what lovely things to look forward to. At what stage did everyones stretch marks appear in previous p/gs?
Any one elses little one constantly lying on their bladder? People at work think I've gone barmy because I keep shouting "MOVE, get off my bladder" at my tummy
Lovely journey to Warrington today & then Leeds tomorrow for me so I'll be a bit quiet again.
See you all on friday

oo george warrington is only up road from me...why do u have to travel all over country by the way?

o and stretch marks with ds were cruel as they didnt show until i was about 38weeks pg then by time i got to 42 weeks looked like i had been attacked by a tiger

Oooh, Nemo, that is cruel. I bet you thought you had escaped stretch mark free.
I'm in sales so I have to trawl about the country seeing my customers. As I live outside the M25, I seem to have anyone based in the north (people in London don't seem to travel well! )!! I don't mind really, it gets me out of the office & gives me a bit of a lie in.

must be tireing for you though

I'm quite enjoying the hotel, room service & early nights at the moment though. Never used to like staying away in hotels before but they bring me food to my room!!! Bliss

so are u in a hotel tonight? Next time you are coming up to warrington and got an over night stay we should meet up for tea

Good idea Nemo, although it might well be my last trip up to Warrington as I don't see them very much and I leave work in....................10 weeks (Woo Hoo!!!)
I'll definitely let you know if I'm going anywhere in that direction though.

george, I never got stretch marks last time (she says v. quietly....) so hoping not to this time either, but not much I can do about it!
and dq, your husband wouldn't want me around either, also permanently cranky lately, more so than I remember from last time.....much to my dh's dismay
he feels like he has all the pressure of the world on him and I feel like he's not doing enough - we need to finish the house renovating and have a holiday but can't afford to do either, ugh sometimes it's all too much.
But that's enough of my moaning this morning, can you tell I haven't had a cup of tea yet

Morning all,

George,
Know what you mean by i feel huge and TP measurment hasnt gone up.. Feel the same belly is huge and everyone is saying it to me (which kinda is annoying me) I am nearly 5 months pregnant what do they expect!!!

hereshoping,
Good to see you back

If you ladys dont mind me asking how is you love life, i really have gone off it.. Its getting to me so much that i cried myself to sleep last night. Its just not as good as it used to be and i feel is it always ging to be like this..

Morning,

I can feel a long one coming on.............

Bonkerz - great to hear your feeling better
Hereshoping - It's great to see you here at last. Congrats on your ds, he sounds like a very strong little bean I've updated your details on the stats thread - anyone got anything to add????????

I didn't get any stretch marks first time round and I'm hoping not to get any this time either. I have been lathering myself in The Sanctuary mum to be oil every morning and I'm obsessed with creaming. I think it's what helped with dd!!!!

Minnie, My sex drive comes and goes at the moment. Sometimes I feel intatiable and other times I can't think of anything worse. It's totally natural hun and I'm sure your DP understands.

I didn't sleep very well last night - I have a mw appt later today and all the old fears are rearing their ugly head!!! I wish this paranoia would go away - for good!!!!!

sweetheart,
I really hope so, Will have to have a chat with DP.
Best wishes to you today with the MW, What time is your appt? You will be fine its the paranoia thats the problem.. Dont think it will ever leave us.

Good luck for later, sh, everything will be fine I'm sure.
Minnie, I've gone completely off it, like I did last time, so not interested. Tiredness plays a big part in that......not everyone is like this though and it is different for everyone. After the baby arrives, it will depend on how motivated you are, and if your little person sleeps at all

Thanks guys - my appt is at 3pm, I'm sure all will be fine, it's just the fear of going into her bloody office. I'm actually at myself for still getting worked up about these things!!!!

Minnie, has your DP said that he is missing things? I'm sure when you chat with him he'll be really understanding. When I was expecing dd my dh was actually glad I was off sex because he was worried about harming the baby.
Perhaps you could make time for a romantic evening - perhaps go out for a meal or something - get yoursleves "in the mood" so to speak.
You probably won't be feeling at the height of sexyness for quite some time to come so don't beat yourself up about it. Just enjoy it when you are in the mood Why did you cry btw, was it beacuse you wanted to or didn't want to or haven't wanted to "do the deed" IFKWIM

I feel like i could go without alot of time, then thats not fare on DP.. It just got me down last night and i was on a baby high all wkend. One of the many joys of being pregnant.

Probably doesn't help that your hormones are rageing at the moment.

I don't know how you feel about this..... and it's a bit TMI But dh and I had a chat and I made it known to him that I wouldn't be upset if he "releaved himself"!!!

He probably does it anyway but I just wanted him to know that I understood why he might want to do it !!!

SH,
Was crying cause i dont feel sexy anymore, wanted to do the deed but didnt when we came to it, Just really off it i think. It was fine the last time.. i really enjoyed..

I would'nt have a problem with that, It's natural really. I have a feeling that it could have been happening all along but its no big deal cause i know he is not going eles where IYKWIM. We could sort each other out without sex IYKWIM that might be an idea to sort this out

Can you do something to make yourself feel more sexy? Perhaps have a romantic evening where you dress up and pamper yourself a bit.

It's totally normaly to feel like this - sometimes you just need a bit of extra help.

Now I really am going to lower the tone of this thread.......
