Old thread here

Make yourselves at home everyone. Jake & George are just loading everyone's 'baggage'! Wink

I started watching OBEM, while DD was in the other room. Naturally she wandered in just as the woman started screaming 'fuck fuck fuck'!!! Hmm I know everyone deals with pain differently but Jeeeeeeeeees she didn't half scream, even with the epidural in, even though she said she couldn't feel anything!! Hmm

Hoping the 18yr old gets her baby in the end, would have scared me half to death if I'd heard that other woman too!

I always miss OBEM because DH refuses point blank to watch it (can't really blame him... I make him turn off match of the day...). Does anyone know if it's repeated (aside from on C4+1)?

Glad you're not feeling sick any more nannyl, although the tiredness must be a pain. At least you're halfway through the 1st trimester and apparently it gets better after that (the pg ladies at work are certainly full of beans again and at the glowing stage).

bebe dreams are probably due to stress (although you prob know that!). I get them when I get stressed which is a pain as then I end up stressed and tired!! Try lavender on your pillow, might help. Hope you're feeling a bit better today?

Am just about to go to bed... finished work - or rather, I've done all I can, and I'm not going to work another hour or two on top of what I've done this evening and the 10 hours I spent at school today, to make my lessons all singing all dancing as I'll be too tired to teach them! Plus I'm fed up of trying to work out when I'm ovulating... (see my thread on conception board...) Night everyone!

Watch it online on 4OD.

Ouch this evening I banged my leg on the corner of the table and skinned my shin. Not sure I'm too keen on the idea of hours and hours of excruciating pain!

A positive story for those who are scared/concerned about labour. A friend of mine from school recently (end of last year) had her first baby. At 6.30pm she was still replying on fb & had no contractions/signs of labour at all. Her baby was born completely normally in hospital at 11.30pm! So it might not be long & protracted & complicated. Don't read the scary birth stories (like mine Blush) they will only make you worry! :)

AC - muct have been the day for self inflicted injuries! I got up from the armchair in our living room last night (in front of DH, DD & BIL Blush), I had my foot caught in my cardigan & fell straight forward and landed with my full weight on my knee & headbutted the floor! :( Knee is purple & still a bit swollen this morning!
Hope your leg is ok today, hurts more when you aren't expecting it!

Oh dear - sounds like it was a bit of a clumsy night on the thread last night!!!

I had an odd one. Went to bed at 9:30ish as I was utterly shattered. Woke up at about 1:30 as I was sure I had heard someone knocking on the front door. Was then worried and it took ages to get back to sleep as I am home alone. It then happened asgain at about 3am. Was supposed to go for a run this morning but as I woke up feeling exhausted and like I was about to throw up I thought I'd pass!! Hoping I;ve not got whatever DH has had (he has been throwing up and feeling really rough - thank God he's in London as he is crap when he is ill!!!)

Other than the injuries, how is everybody feeling this morning?

Hi WW

I can totally understand that you are feeling really crappy about your friend. I totally understand and it is always going to be tough to hear that someone you know well only has to look at a c*ck and get pregnant when it is taking you longer than you had hoped.

FX (but not legs!!)for you this month :)

I'm on CD 21 and ovulated on CD14. We did have UPS on CD10 so I suppose that it is possible if DH has super sperm..........

My cycles vary from 27 days to 35 days though so goodness only knows! I guess if AF hasn't appeared by next weekend then I will test. DH is on a boys ski trip then so at least I have time to get my head around any unplanned news before he gets home!!!

I had some more bleeding last night, after sex. I know this is quite common, but I'm scared shitless that I'm not in that 'quite common' bracket. Waiting to get emerg appointment at docs, can't ring them till 1pm. Spoke to EPAU who said they would scan if the doc thinks it's necessary as I am now over 6 weeks so to see the docs and go from there. Gah. This worry is not helping me.

And I'm sorry I've not read back in here. Hope you are all OK.

JustShaggingForNow · 12/01/2011 12:23

Try not to panic 100. I am sure that it will all be fine. I don't really know much about these things but it's good that you are going to go to the Drs and that if they think you need it will send you to the EPU.

Try to stay as calm as possible (easy for me to say I know) and I am sure that the Dr/EPU will out your mind at rest.

Thanks you two. :) Trying to sort out money things while I'm waiting to ring the docs to try and take my mind off it.

Yesterday I had a bit of a change of mind and stopped myself from worrying about things, then we had sex and I had some bleeding, I didn't cry then, I just lay there tried to not think about it and ended up going to sleep, waking at half 2 to do some more fake puking. Then slept in this morning, but now I'm back to pre yesterday worry and not enjoying today really. I just don't feel cut out for dealing with all the worry about it all. :(

JustShaggingForNow · 12/01/2011 12:58

I would be very very happy and excited if an accident has happened (Think DH would be very cross to start with because of the timings and also because he would probably think I'd gone against him and planned it but utlimately supportive) but it would mean a few amendments would have to be made to our holiday plans for the year which would be a real pain.

At the moment I am running the Bath Half on 3rd March (which I am guessing might be harder if I have a bump!) and then we are going snowboarding for a week with a group of friends and my DSis in mid March (probably not adviseable with a bump but my DSis knows nobody other than DH and I and so it would be pretty crap for her if I couldn't go) We've also booked our flights to India for April/May and are in the process of finalising the itinerary adn will have to pay a 20% deposit when we book (likely to be this week)

Not sure if I should speak to DH about waiting to make the hotel reservations for India until I have had AF. I don;t want to risk wasting a large amount of money but I also don't want to panic him unnecessarily or cause an argument. Especially as we hardly see eachother at the moment!!!! Advice please ladies!

Thanks WW I think I will try and hold off telling him just yet as I know that he will be cross and the advice form the Sex Ed teacher will just make him pi$$ed off at me for coming off the pill last year mening we had to use other methods of contraception. Better not to cause any heated discussions unless necessary!!

He's made it very clear that he's not ready right now and so the wait would be very tense and unhappy if he was doing it with me!!

Not sure what outcome I want really but I guess neither will upset me so that is good to know!

That would be a good idean in theory WW but he puts it on our joint Amex and as he inevitably ends up paying off the card each month (he earns 3 times what I do!!) it's pretty irrelevant!

The travel companies haven;t come back with quotes yet so that will delay us a bit and then I might suggest waiting until the monthly cut off date so we can delay paying it a bit and then see what he says!

1 week into the 2WW and I'm not feeling excited yet... move sick, tired and a bit worried!!! My panic is certainly appraching overdrive as I now have either imagined or real symptoms to add to the sickness and tiredness!!!

like a very mild almost ticklish cramp type thing but probably all in my head. God knows what I will be like on my 2WW when I am actually trying!!!

Not sure as my cycles vary in length so much so I guess I will try to wait until next weekend and then do one of those 1st response ones.

However I fully expect to cave in and POAS several times before then as I get more and more panicy!

I don't know. Porbably working - as I should be but feeling so rough it's all I can do to keep upright and not throw up. No hope of me having any success with spreadsheets or anything like that!

100years · 12/01/2011 15:52

Got a scan tomorrow at the EPAU at 2pm. Doc wasn't sure what's happening either way, which I know they can't be. Mentioned the word miscarriage too much for my liking though. Did a pg test and it was a faint positive, which is worrying as all of mine except for the mega early ones have been strong. Just have to wait and see now.
