Q Whats black, White and Red?
A A newspaper!!

BOOM BOOM!!

very good.

where is everyone today?

babybloos you still there? how you doing today

Sorry all - haven't been around. Got very busy at work and am trying to help dp organise his 40th birthdy party

I did test agin and the line was defo there - yippee. But I am really trying hard not to get excited because it may not last. Got to get past that 12 week mark before I start to feel really confident. At the same time don't want negative vibes to the teeny-weeny little thing.

You ladies are the best. You've managed to keep my chin up throughout.

Feel a bit guilty about what I said the other day "nature's" way. What I was trying to say was that mc's are not caused by anything we do or don't do. It's one of the cruelties of life - these things are out our control. Resding some of the other threads where people talk about planning for boys, girls, shools entry dates etc - my advice is don't worry about anyof that. The imoratant thing ids that you have ababy that you love. I think you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Anyway that's my 2-penneth worth.

Diddle I'm so sorry that you feel sad I hope you have an undertanding partner who gives you lots of cuddles and a bit more!

sorry gone a bit mad on the smileys

missmibaby - glad you're doing ok. stay positive there is no reason why your new baby won't stay with you.

I have seen millions (well it feels like it) of pregnant women around today all of them huge, heavily pregnant, lucky things. i am desperate to have my baby. hope it comes soon.

hi everyone, have been to eye hospital with my daughter this morning - she needs a patch on her eye as she is too longsighted in one eye

diddle - yeah i know about testing early, those type of pregnancys which are bfp but then lost early, most women don't notice and just think its af. aparently they are really really common and i know i have had many myself. when my af is really wrong and clotty. i think they are called chemical pregnancies in the medical world.
and wow you really have a long cycle!

prettybird-CONGRATS thats excellent- don't worry too much about dh he will get used to the idea and become excited later on- but in the mean time don't let him spoil your excitment. you need to celebrate!

and on the subject of council houses and benefits - well i know how you feel about people having babies for housing - its a bit sick but as a council tenant myself it is not an easy option at all, most people are stuck in temporary hostels for years before they get a council flat and then it is more ofen than not dirty and damp and in a high rise block with no lifts or gardens. basically grotty.
i also think most of the single parents on benefits that i know are desperate to get a nice job etc but just can't see a way around childcare juggling - the goverment needs to make it better for women, my friend got a job last year but was not allowed the morning off to see her kids xmas play. and another mum i know got sacked for taking too much time off looking after her son with chicken pox!

itv news has just gone on about maternity services being really bad- i have had dreadful experiences the 3 times i have given birth and i know most people have awful experiences too i think its so wrong! why are all the midwives i have had contact with been so blumin evil- if /when i get pg this time can anyone recommend a hospital in london for a high risk pg. i cannot go back to my local hospital, its too painful to even drive past it. i am so worried about the care i will get next pg. i wish i could pay private but it really isn't an option.

wow sorry thats a long rant ;)

has everyone gone to lunch?

no slink i'm here.

very long cycles for me i'm afraid. i used to be regularly 35 days, but since the m/c af keeps getting my hopes up and being a week late. what a cow.

I have total sympathy for the people who have to live in hostels for ages before getting a council house that is not fair at all, esp with young children, must be horrible. I don't agree with the people who get pregnant so that they can get a house and move out of home with their parents. and i know people who have done this. Just doesn't seem fair. Sorry if that applies to anyone of you, just my opinion, not meant to make anyone angry.

Gals,

Are any of you any good at diagnosing illnesses? I dont want to go my docs (they're evil) but I@m feeling so rough!!

I'm constantly tired (even tho I'm in bed by 8pm and up at 7am) I feel sick, got heatburn. I gotta p 60 times a day or at least it feels like it. I've got headache, achy muscles. I just feel completely wrong. And I'm always Weepy (it seems)

Don't worry if you dont know, just means I HAVE to go to the evil doctors.

Diddle - can I MSN you later? Need to talk

mumswish - sounds like pregnancy to me!!! ;)

My symptoms were v similar when I was diagnosed with diabetes, I'm sure its not that because the symptoms are the same for loads of things apparently but its worth checking. Its just a quick blood test and even if it is, I can promise you it ain't so bad. Just something to build into your routines. I'm not trying to scare you and I'm not sure if I should even have mentioned it but you did ask!?

Hope you get sorted quickly. Big cyber hugs....

Not pg. Been on pill. Finished my last one today. Its something else. I just wish I knew what. Plus I'm pretty sure it not pg as have horrible crampy af feelings which will just add to the yucky feeling I've got

CH you can msn me now or later, i migth be out from 4.30ish until 5.30 ish but will be here all evening too. but am free now if you are

My g-dad is a diabetic so it may well be I just hope not. There's too much stuff I like that you cant have with diabetes. Plus I'm soooo scared of needles, couldnt put one in me myself. Have to close eyes when see needles! so I'd stick myself in the wrong place

mumswish - have you done a pg test because you know you can get pg on the pill and you may have caught even if you haven't tried much. worth a check. Hope its not diabetes, that does make you very tired though DH had the same problem always tired and achy, but luckily he was borderline. They also thought it might be a blood pressure problem, can't remember if it was high or low. but if you're doctors evil, could you change?

I used to be in docs by where I lived with mum but had to change cos I moved. I've gone to the most top-notch docs in my new town but they're so clinical there. EG: Doc saying "you're too fat to have a baby" I prefer the old docs.

There isnt any other docs in my area that are taking on at the moment either. I'm not doing pg test for at least a couple of weeks cos I wouldnt b due an af for about a week yet anyway so i'll leave it abit and if no af, then i'll test. I dont want to think about that at the mo because I'd get really excited about nothing (which it prob is)

Anyway enough about me. What everyone been doing today?

good choice mumswish, don't blame you. while you're not getting your hopes u[p, don't rule it out either.

coathanger - where have you gone!!!!!

I want to go see a lady doc sometime soon anyway to find out if there's stuff apart from folic acide that i should be doing. Eg: someone said about having some injections against rubella etc 3 months before ttc. Dont know if thats true. So i'll check with them about diabetes etc.

Mumswish just to let you know I've been on a new treatment and you can eat everything! Literally whatever you want. This is great but isn't helping my diet!! Ive been deprived of cakes and choccies for two years so now I'm overdosing!!!

Anyway that aside my DH is on his way home! Yippee! He's worked away during the week for about a month so its lovely to know he's on his way home! Its a bit like waiting for your boyfriend to pick you up for a date! I feel all soft and sappy!!!

What are you ladies up to this weekend?

Sunny - Does that mean loads of dbing for you then?! Its lovely when that happens. My boyf used to work opposite hrs to me until a few months ago and I always used to love a sunday cos it meant I woke up next to him after I went to bed with him. Sunday - day of rest- not for us

Thanks for the note about food. I know my g-dad cant have ANYTHING with even a hint of sugar in them. And a mate of mine has to stick herself with a needle every day (couldnt do that dont know how she copes)

Yep and choccies too!

I'm sorry I haven't had much imput today. I have scanned posts but not read in detial.

I hope you are all good - Prettybird, CONGRATULATIONS!! So glad to see you have had a bfp! I can 100% sympathise with your situation with yuor DH. If you want to CAT me, please feel free. My DH wasn't very happy when I announced I was PG with the baby i later went on to lose. He was a pig for a week and even after that he wasn't too hot on the idea. His worry is money too, but it also goes deeper. If you want to talk about it feel free to drop me a line

Hope everyones is good

Oooooo Choccies are the best medicine! Flowers?

hope your ok CH. Feel free to chat to me if you need to. Dont know if I can help but I'll always lend an ear.

Keep Smiling Girl. Please

CH - keep smiling, no tears. Hope i've helped a bit and will be back on later, off to school now
