So, here it is, Part 4! May it bring lots of BFP's for those of us still waiting and may it bring happy healthy pregnancies for those who are fabulously pregnant.

Just came back from the Traffic Department and have submitted the application. It was as awful as expected. Anything official in this country is a bloody nightmare. They are always rude, give you conflicting info and generally try to make the experience as unpleasant as possible for you. Today I was told I had to go somewhere else and that the docs that I had brought were insufficient. But I had phoned ahead and stood my ground and finally got someone who was willing to help. Ah, Africa, got to love itAngry

Cake- I know I will be going mad this time next week symptom spotting! I've banned myself from doing it till at least 7 dpo. Do you think this month is your month? How long you been trying for?

Mrs- I miss watching my belly move and feeling baby kicks you must be so excited - getting jealous!

Morerum - it took 4 cycles from saying 'yeah let's do it' with dd but only 1 cycle of being able to properly try as before he worked long distance all week so we only had weekends. Pleased to see you got your bfp!

This time two years ago today I got my bfp with dd just a couple of days before mothers day. When IRS time to test this month it will also be a couple of days before mothers day - so maybe I will get lucky and history will repeat itself (wishful thinking) - however it would make December a very expensive month for me if I had both dcs birthdays and Christmas!

Morning all.

I think it's really positive that you're enjoying work hungry though I agree it'd probably be harder at first for you if was at nursery. Is your dh enjoying his time with her?

gingerbread I don't have a problem with self study when it's a topic I'm interested in & compared to my first degree this is a much 'easier' subject so I'm finding it fine so far. Did you ring for the test results? If not, ring today otherwise it might bug you over the weekend that you can't ring!

swede I had a massive 'bump' from 8-11weeks, unhip able size. Then it disappeared and I got really worried! But according to my consultant it's actually impossible for you to have a baby bump that early as the uterus doesn't move up until 12 weeks. Anything before that is just bloating. My bloating bump went at 11 weeks and my baby bump only just popped out 2weeks ago at 18weeks! How are you feeling? How's the nausea?

The scan was good thank goodness!! Baby looks perfect, (it was the 20 week ginger) she thoroughly checked the spine and the skin over the spine plus connections from spine to brain (spins bifida is the main problem the baby was more susceptible to) and it's all fine. Forgot how much you can see at the 20 week scan, we saw hands, feet, eyes, nose, top lip, bottom lip & everything else!! hungry my placenta is anterior too! which explains the reduced movements compared to when I was pregnant with dd. So that's good to know. In terms of growth (another problem area for me & something my idiot midwife frightened me about) that's perfect too, right on the line. So happy day!

On the subject of toddlers eating, dd has always, from being weaned, been a brilliant eater, eating anything and everything and a good amount. Until 1week ago when she has gone full circle. For the last week she refuses everything, if she has it, she'll have a tiny but then say she doesn't like it. She won't eat meals, only snack and is generally being really odd with food. I think it's just a phase so not going to worry about it. She's going through a very self important phase too (she's 2 &2 months), when we came home from the hospital and were telling my mum about the scan she stood in the middle of the room and shouted "not you all talk about baby, talk about me!"....... Oh lord!!

28 weeks morerum that's flown over. How's work going?

Hope everyone else us ok, what a long post!!

Kt1991 · 14/03/2014 08:58

Morning everyone sorry for my lack of posting again! I'm starting to feel better thank to those who asked, DS now had a virus though so more rest for us this week! He is forever getting them and they never seem to do anything about it! Just calpol and rest which is what we have been doing! He does have asthma too, but inhalers don't seem to help :/

Glad your scan went well better! So you didn't find out the sex?!
How's work going hungry
Welcome to badger! This is a lovely thread to be on and very lucky!
ginger how you doing? And yes do start our next thread! Hope this is a lucky one for you :)
mrs don't worry about DS with his eating, my DS is exactly the same still, he refuses to eat anything apart from chicken nugget different meats in like a roast, and jacket potatoes and sausages, it's really horrible sometimes cause I just want him to eat more but we are there for hours trying to make him and it doesn't get us anywhere!! One thomg everyone says to me is he won't starve he will eat if he's hungry, he will eat loads of fruit though! Just hope this next baby isn't as fussy!
Good luck to anyone who is testing soon too!

What's everyone's plans for the weekend?

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 14/03/2014 09:22

Morning all, well I have started the new thread, so lets move the chatting!
Rather than start the new thread off with bad news I thought I would do it here - AF got me this morning. I don't bloody believe it, 3 days early, giving me a cycle of 23 days and an LP of 7 days. WTF is going on. I'm never going to get a baby am I??
Glad your results were all good better, was thinking of you last night.

lovesmycake · 14/03/2014 11:09

Oh ginger im so sorry big big hugs - how are you feeling? Has it made you feel any differently about phoning for your results. Have you got any plans for the weekend to take your mind of it? Also a few posts back you asked us to remind you about squishing your DS and how happy it makes you. It will happen for you just sadly not this month Thanks

Hello everyone new to this site but my husband and I decided to ttc and the first try was the first catch as I done a clear blue test yesterday and got a bfp :) so I'm assuming I'm 4weeks as period wasn't due til today anyway wondering if you can help..I get like twinges now and again in my right side by my hip bone and sounds silly but I'm sure I can feel like my ovary "/ my oldest son is now 5 and I didn't notice any of this as I was 18 weeks gone when I found out so I'm a little worried and people say I have a long way to 12 week mark...so nervous :(
