Lulu u sound like ive got a good birth plan :) and glad the scan went well. I love Charlie. DS's middle name is Charlie after my grandad.

Ducky bless u :( just think it's not long left, u'll soon have ur baby boy. N as for H he needs to do things to NOT stress u out!
I'm okay today, AF is over ! Yay!
Even tho this month we aren't trying and it's just a go with the flow month ive got this strange strange feeling it'll be our month. I reckon I'll be telling u about my BFP in a few weeks!

Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 08:52

I like Charlie too Smile

Well this morning he got up, instead of opening the curtains he turns EVERY light on in the house, he comes downstairs, there's a dog poo on the floor (dogs poorly Sad) instead of cleaning up, he steps over it Blush leaving it to me who can hardly bend down. He then takes his breakfast in the lounge and once he's done leaves his bowl and mug there. Then puts deoderant on and leaves it on the side, then changes trousers and leaves the one pair on the floor AngryAngry. I have the preggo rage today lol.

Haha Ducky your posts make me laugh, that would drive me nuts! Nope not happening in this house, all our babies will follow our lead. We put things away here, tidy away clothes and we don't leave anything out (other than iPads and that sort of thing).

I'm getting bigger each day, feeling better today thanks Cupcake. It seems to come in little waves now. I have a theory that it must happen when something major is being built inside. She's bulking up her bones and putting on fat this week.

I've got a 16 week appointment with the GP today, not expecting much but I have to go so meh!

Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 15:46

How did your appt go siarie?

Jeez I have officially lost the plot, ended up in hospital for assessment just because I felt anxious Confused now I have turned into an emo and am crying at everything, I cried earlier cus I 'almost' slipped in the shower, I then cried at the warhorse advert as I love horses and a friend told me what happens in the movie, then looking through the active threads I cried at the title of one (didn't even open it!) wtf.

Are you ok Ducky? Did they keep you in?

I get really weepy too. DH found me sitting on the side of the bed crying this morning because I could not bend down to do up all the fiddly cute buttons on my boots. He buttoned them up and I snivelled all the way to work. He was really worried and wanted to take me home but I went in and have been happy as Larry all day. Friend drove me home and unbuttoned the boots. DH is playing football- outside in the rain and dark Confused then going for a drink with the team.

I am lying on the bed in my pyjamas with a cold drink in the dark- bliss. Peace, quiet and purring cats. Having cheese on toast later for tea.

Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 17:06

I'm fine lulu. Smile They put me on a ctg for 30 mins to reassure me. I don't know why as he was moving fine this morning but I just felt very anxious from when I woke up. Feel better for getting checked though.

Ohhh no, I had to buy slip on shoes from around 22 weeks as it was getting more difficult to do them up! Your doing a good job still being able to work! How is your sleep?

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 14/11/2014 17:25

Glad ur feeling better now Siarie :)

Aww Ducky bless u! Glad u feel better for getting checked! And its good that u do get checked its better than worrying :)

N Aaww bless u too lulu! Pregnancy makes u so emotional! I had a weird way of doing my shoes up but in the end I too ended up buying slip on shoes and also wore ugg boots as they were the only comfy shoes for me! I had rele fat swollen feet Grin

I'm feeling rather nervous tonight. I have a national newspaper calling me up to do an interview and may have a photo shoot. It's to do with pregnancy tests. Telling u lot this may give away my identity haha! Grin I'll get paid for it which will help a lot this month. I'm just so nervous!!

Ooohhh cupcake! How interesting! Grin what is the article about? A particular brand?

Tori, will keep everything crossed for you on Wednesday Smile

LuluJakey1 · 14/11/2014 19:22

Tori- I usually wear slip on shoes now but my lovely boots were beckoning. How many weeks are you now? I was still getting away with some people not noticing at 22 weeks although lots knew by then. No getting away with it now but the bump is still quite neat if you know what I mean- just awkward for reaching toes for any period!
Glad you are ok Ducky- nearly time now.
Cupcake - did you volunteer? How did they get you? Sounds interesting. What is it about exactly?
Am about to roll off the bed and waddle off to make my tea.I had a little sleep.

That is just me Tori- no skinny minnie at the start (understatement) and actually have not put a lot on- 15 lbs now. Can still fit into some of my bigger dresses.

Cupcake92 · 14/11/2014 20:23

Oh Tori bless u! Fx for ur scan :) u'll feel so so much more relax after the scan :) and getting to 12 weeks is amazing! So happy for u! :D
Can't wait for that to be me!

Lulu someone I subscribe to on YouTube asked me to do it, it's me, her and 1 other girl. It's about doing pregnancy tests and recording them and putting them on YouTube. I have my own TTC YouTube channel u see Grin have my photo shoot Tuesday for the article :)

Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 20:45

That sounds good cupcake.

You went into early labor didn't you cupcake? What happened?

I have had twinges tonight but hoping they are just braxton hicks or my irritable uterus. There's always something!

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 14/11/2014 21:11

Yeah I was 32 weeks Ducky. I was sat in a pub watching a football presentation and drinking lime an soda water. Started off having a "belly ache" and then I got a backache n my back ache kept getting worse, and then my "belly ache" came back and then went. And then came back a bit worse. I could not sit still tho, kept figgiting constantly. And then suddenly my so called bellyache hit very hard!! And I burst out crying straight away. And shouted "help I think I'm in labour!!!" Got rushed out to sit in my car in the car park. Felt like such an idiot as the pain completly went and I said "sorry I think baby just lay in a funny position, how stupid do I look!" But DH told me to just sit for a bit incase they come back, I told him I'm fine it won't then exactly 5 mins after I got an even worse contraction! So I rushed to hospital, but I couldn't sit still at all Ducky. Trust me Ull know when they are contractions! Can't sit still and can hardly say a sentence! Lol Grin

Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 21:14

I had a few in a row that were quite painful, started to panic but thankfully they have stopped now! My midwife said I have an irritable uterus and to expect a few false alarms with it!

Did you go in to labor in the end or was it a pre booked c sec?

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 14/11/2014 21:23

Phew that's good Ducky :)
No I had to be induced :( as DS just wasnt moving much, so they wouldn't let me go any longer. I was exactly 40 weeks when I was induced but had DS at 40+2. But DS was back to back and way too big for me so emergency csection IT was!
Next baby tho I'm determine to go into labour by myself. I do have more risk of pre term labour next time, so could go at any point haha.

Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 21:40

Well at least he stayed put! Smile hoping mine will stay there until 37 weeks! 37+4 seems ages away now!

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 21:47

Have you had your interview cupcake?

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 14/11/2014 21:50

Yeah I'm glad he stayed put! But I think it was all the drugs they pumped into me that kept him there. Lol! I think 37 weeks is perfect just when ur begging them to get out of ur stomach haha Grin

Yep had my interview :) the woman was so so nice! Got make up and photography Crewe coming round on Tuesday :)

Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 21:55

Oh make up! Grin Sounds fancy!

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 14/11/2014 22:01

I know how exciting!! DS gets a photo with me too and then I get to keep them! :D

Everytime I post something on here it brings up my App Store with an app to download!! Confused whats going on? Can iPhones get viruses? Lol!

Ducky23 · 14/11/2014 22:10

Aww that's nice Smile some professional photos with professional make up! Grin

Mine was doing that the other day, it wasn't bringing the App Store up but every couple of seconds it was asking for my App Store password and to log into I cloud Confused I turned it off and on again and it seemed to stop. It started again a few days later but turning off and on seems to fix it.
