Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Hope everything goes OK today Liz. Not looking forward to the whole heartburn thing TBH, out of everything, I think I am dreading that the most (bar the labour!!)

I had to go the the hosp to get my bloods too Iwish, it was a Friday that the MW booked me, and she wasn't going back towards the hosp so I had to go and get them done when I had my 12w scan. I didn't think the heart was heard til around 13wks?

Watched OBEM, so OTT :) (lol, probably tame compared to me!!)
I didn't think it looked too bad last week, but this week has totally put me off!! I just kept thinking about the baby at the end though.

My mum told me the other day (sorry if TMI) that I should start putting vasaline on the inside of my 'hole' and in between there and my bum hole, as will make it soft for birth. Didn't think I would ever have THAT conversation with my mum! Blush

It should be on 4OD if you haven't recorded it Liz

Grin klou when i was pg with dd i bought sweet almond oil to massage down there to stop it from tearing, but never got round to it and i didnt tear anyway. (no i have not got a bucket crotch!)

I've tried all sorts of biscuits liz but ginger made me feel slightly better lol. Tried ice cubes too and I felt ok but then they started to taste funny and now can't even think about sucking them again!

OMFG klou how on earth did that conversation start! Actually giggled to myself reading that.

I love OBEM and I'm not put off yet, think I will get freaked out nearer the time. :). DP used to say 'what we watching this for' but now he watches it and quietly smiles bless him. Then he comes out with 'feel sorry for you love'. Charmin!!

Oh and I nearly caved and told my colleage at work today. Felt so sick I'm sure I went green so wanted to tell someone but managed to keep quiet.

lizandlulu · 15/02/2011 20:42

bear with it iwish hopefellu you will feel better soon.

i am going to see if i can watch one being born every minuite on that 4od, although on my laptop it migth be abit slow. we are getting a proper computer tomorrow yey!!!!!

lizandlulu · 15/02/2011 20:59

nope i cant watch it, it keeps stopping, bugger bugger bugger.

i went to see the midwife and she listened to the heartbeat! it took her a few miniutes to find it, but it was lovelyGrin not alot else, just asked a few questions about what happened when i went for a scan and thats about it.

i have had the resuls back from the nuchal translucency fold (?) test and its very low, 1 in 45thousand! which is good.

KLou111 · 16/02/2011 11:03

Oh Liz that's fantastic!!! Great news on both counts. Bet it was lovely and reassuring to hear the little ones heart beat. Was your DH with you? Grin

Iwish I'm not 100% how that conversation started with my mum, I think I was talking about OBEM, and just kind of went from there :) Glad you're being able to keep everything to yourself, it's bloody so difficult isn't it? I remember when we went out NYE with about 15 of our friends, and I was dying to say something, but didn't. I bet you can't wait! When are you going to tell them?

I think we're going to need a new page soon ladies as this one is nearly full. Any ideas on a title?
I thought 'Started TTC in August 2010, we're now all finally up the duff' or something like that :)

lizandlulu · 16/02/2011 14:12

ohh thats a good title! in here or pregnancy? or antenatal clubs?

klou no DH wasnt with me, just dd being a pain in the arseGrin he racons he isnt coming to any more appointments with me till i finally pop. he is so kind and considerateHmm

Iwish · 16/02/2011 18:58

Thanks Liz I hope I feel better soon too lol.
Good news about your nuchal and bet you were thrilled to hear the HB. Hope you like your new computer too.

klou that's a fab name for the new thread. I caved tonight and told 1 person at work because she is bound to notice my constant eating soon since I'm usually v good. I know she won't say anything and she was thrilled :)

madkatz how are you? Not heard from you for a while.

gruffalo hope you are ok?

Wanted to stay in bed this morning, was not pleased when the alarm went off lol.

KLou111 · 17/02/2011 11:52

Yes MadKatz where are you? Hope everything is going OK your end :)

Glad you told someone Iwish, at least you can trust them too :)

Went out last night with DH and a friend that has come for a few days (male). Was so funny watching them both get drunk last night. DH almost fell off his stool in the pub. Ended in DH being sick when got home, as I asked him to put the bin bags out and the smell obv didn't go down to well, and our friend fell asleep on the way home in the car, and came in at 9:05 this morning!!! Made me grateful I am preggars otherwise I prob would have been in a right state too as I always drink when he comes to stay, and for someone that doesn't drink a lot, I would have been VERY ill!

New thread has been set up here

See you all over there :)
