Oh mrskate Sad these days are so hard, when you're marking what should have been... I've been there far too many times and its the saddest thing, mainly also cos its the last official part of the fact you're little baby existed, albeit for a too short a time on this earth, but, he or she will always exist in your heart and your memory... All our angels maybe gone, but are never forgotten... My thoughts are with you today xxxxxxxx

Morning Smile

How are you feeling today Mrskate?

How's the head Moon?

Would someone please come and remove the chocolate from my house? Grin

I'm having a day of pampering .my mum has surprised me by paying for my hair to be cut an coloured and a pedicure . She said I hope this would cheer me up Smilelove her so much

moonmrs · 05/04/2013 20:12

aww mrskate how lovely of your mum, hope you enjoyed being spoilt

the headaches a bit better thanks neeko I bought both of what you suggested and they seem to take the edge off - they don't usually go properly til I've had a mammoth sleep, so that is my plan for tomorrow and hope it goes!

happy weekend to everyone

Neeko · 05/04/2013 20:18

Moon Your headaches sound like mine. I usually just have to wait mine out as anything I use dials them down but doesn't get rid. Glad that stuff helped.

Mrskate yay for your mum! Hope it helped a little Smile

I forgot to say that we got the date through for the 20 week scan, 30th April, eeek!

Neeko · 05/04/2013 20:32

Woohoo Moon. That's exciting Smile

SabsFabulous · 06/04/2013 11:19

Moon great news on the scan date. Another milestone moment Smile Is the plan now to find out the flavour?

Kate thinking of you. Hope you enjoyed the pampering session and are continuing to take good care of yourself

Will be back soon to do more personals. I'll be 29 weeks tomorrow so was a milestone moment for me last week to have reached the third trimester. This baby is VERY active, was getting quite worried because it felt like the baby was just thrashing about inside trying to get out! But I rang the midwife helpline who reassured me that it's fine and more movements are better than less movements.

Before I go one question. Is it OK to use the same cot mattress for this baby that I used for Saara or is it better to buy a brand new one? What did others do?

Promise to be back soon!

4everhopeful · 06/04/2013 12:34

Hey moon ooh how exciting to have your scan date! Smile

Mrskate hope the pampering was a bit of a tonic, bless your mum..

Sabs yay to 3rd trimester! Smile Realised how near it is for me too, bei only 3wks behind you! Shock Huge milestone! Got an active one here too, which I find very reassuring! As for cot mattress, guidelines do say should be new, we ended up getting all new moses, then if he's anything like our longun Summer, he'll only be in it 6/7 weeks, then we have a rocking crib, and will probably invest in a new mattress for that, as with the carrycot part of pram, (which will be his bed on holiday when he's 9/10wks) then when we put him in his room, about 9months is the plan, and Summers old cot is in there, and will probably use her orig mattress by that age...

Spent yesterday afternoon in A&E after a playdough up the nose incident! (Summer not me!) Poor thing was hysterical, worry being it can either go into the stomach, which is not really a problem, as opposed to into the lungs, which obviously is a big problem... Confused Thankfully by the time we got to A&E and the fantastic kids department, she was happily playing in the toy area and seemed fine, when they checked her out they couldn't see it and her oxygen levels and breathing was fine, which meant it must of thankfully gone to her stomach, so we're on poo watch, again! (Only 3wks since the 5p in the poo incident! Hmm) Was all a bit of a worry at the time though, but bless her she was so brave and good as gold.. ...and what has she just asked for? Yep, playdough! Hmm A stern lecture is about to take place!

Quick messaage for Sabs - I only had a new mattress for the cot for my first. All others were second hand - moses, buggy cot and by the time ds and dd2 arrived, they were all second hand! I would check what the current cot death recommendations are?

littlebellsmum · 06/04/2013 12:54

4ever that little monkey of a girl! Hope you are all fully recovered and looking forward to another week of poo watch!

Neeko · 06/04/2013 20:25

4ever What a girl you have!Grin

Sabs I bought all new both times but if they are plastic covered they might be ok. I say go with your gut. Congrats on the 3rd trimester milestone Smile

Hi LBM

Rumours · 07/04/2013 09:48

sabs I bought new but only because there's almost 7 years between my too. If it was a gap like yours and the mattress was clean or could be cleaned I would reuse it.

4ever how's poo watch going? Grin

Rumours · 07/04/2013 09:49

Two not too! I always feel I have to correct myself with neeks around Wink. I prefer sums!

Neeko · 07/04/2013 12:24

No judgement here Rumours Grin but eek to numbers for me. How's life, lovely?

Rumours · 07/04/2013 13:04

It's ok thanks neeko, have had a few bad days with the boys, they're out of their routine bless em. But yesterday was better.
I've still not seen the cake!! How's you?

4everhopeful · 07/04/2013 20:33

Been throwing up today, bad tummy, poss food poisoning - from shop brought home made choc coconut cake - if that's poss? Or a bug... Freaking me out tho... Delivery suite said if anything go to a+e as more a medical issue, and am feeling movements, but over analysing how many...

Any similar experiences/reassurance for me please ladies?

OP posts:
Neeko · 07/04/2013 21:01

4ever no similar experience but think your boy is very well protected so long as you don't dehydrate. A spoonful of water every few minutes and plenty of rest for you. Baby is probably just reacting to your stress levels but get checked out if you are excessively worried. Take care.

Rumours I know how a change in routine affects my two so I can imagine how stressful the past few days have been for you. Hope it's back to normality now.

I'm good, but exhausted. DH is on a 3 day weekend. We've cycled, walked, swam, gardened, shopped... Grin and we're off to see Justin and friends tomorrow. We may not get a lot of family time but we know how to cram it in! Wink

Neeko · 08/04/2013 17:26

How are you today 4ever?

4everhopeful · 08/04/2013 18:08

Like crap neeko Sad sooooo rough, was all freaked out worrying about listeria & stuff & dreadful outcome for baby, spent evening in 2 minds about going to a+e, was sick so much I've seriously strained muscles & hurt myself, called nhs direct and they sent out of hrs doc round who gave me anti sickness jab & prescription for meds, which got today, baby moving lots thank god, but he seemed convinced its the sickness bug, and that was confirmed about 3am when Summer woke up and threw up all over herself and her bed.... Sad Poor baby was sick another couple times, but thankfully my little bounce back queen has been much better today, as opposed to me who feels like death warmed up.. Managed miniscule bits of food and diarilyte help replace all the lost minerals ect, but just bleugh, yuk, weak, very sore, and sorry for myself...

Neeko · 08/04/2013 18:44

Aww poor you Sad Sad You'll have it worse than S cos of your lowered immune system. Hope you feel better soon.

moonmrs · 08/04/2013 19:17

Aww 4ever that sounds awful, wishing you a speedy recovery, make sure dh looks after you xx

Rumours · 08/04/2013 21:08

Hope you feel better soon 4ever x

cupcakefairy · 09/04/2013 10:09

4ever you poor thing that sounds awful :( glad doc has been out to see you & baby moving lots though. neeko is right re immune system.. good to know your body will be protecting that baby but rubbish that it makes you feel worse! Hope a bit better today?

Sorry to be quiet..we have chickenpox.. waiting on a call from doc as I'm a bit worried the spots have become infected :( day 6 today & it's horrible. Ds2 bound to get it too so it's far from over!

Neeko · 09/04/2013 20:52

Cupcake Sad to the pox. It's a horrid disease. Hope DS isn't too poorly and DS2 gets it mildly. At least then it will be over.

Hope you're on the mend today 4ever
