What!? He should have gone to sleep on the sofa not you! That's not very nice.

Let us know how it goes cupcake, on the plus side not long to go now Ducky! I can't wait for you to have you little one out and to tell us how it all went. X

Ducky23 · 20/11/2014 10:18

Well apparently I have to because my dog sleeps down stairs and my dog snores Blush haha

I know I can't wait just to have my little man in my arms!!! Two weeks on Monday until my induction but will be full term two weeks today so fingers crossed things start before then!

Well good news is I'm home now :) only just tho.
I didn't realise how ill I actually was if I'm honest. Come home with a bag full of meds and have to go back in 6 weeks time!

Aww Ducky can't belive its only 2 weeks till u have him!! :D

Ducky23 · 20/11/2014 17:22

Glad your home cupcake.Smile Are you feeling better?

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 20/11/2014 18:16

Um yeah I feel a lot better now I'm out. Just getting dizzy spells and and I'm on so many meds :( it's awful! On them for 8 days. N they are very strong etc so even if I was TTC-Ing this month I wouldn't be able to lol

Are u excited that ur induction is only 2 weeks away? :)

Ducky23 · 20/11/2014 18:28

Oh no! Let's hope after these 8 days your fighting fit ready for your BFP! Grin

I can't wait! Just want to hibernate though! Am hoping he will come himself after I am 37 weeks! Have my second to last midwife appointment in a bit! (I think I have more after he's here though Smile)

Did you bf or ff your ds cupcake?

LuluJakey1 · 20/11/2014 20:07

I am so tired tonight. Can't wait for tomorrow night. DH is going out with a few of his friends to an indian restaurant in the village, followed by a couple of pints. Have told him to sleep in the spare room.

I am going to have the bed to myself and go to bed about half 8.

Glad you are home Cupcake. Did you get any answers?

Ducky, that is incredible that it is only 2 weeks away! It's gone so quickly.

Cupcake92 · 20/11/2014 23:13

Oh gosh Ducky how exciting!!! :D can't wait for u to have him!!!! :D
I ff DS as I got bullied into it by modwifes. I wanted to breast feed but no one showed me how b DS wasn't getting any food so they told me to give him a bottle. Next one tho I. Deffo bf will be soooooooooo much easier at night time for me.
What are u going to do Ducky?

Lulu a bed to urself and going to bed at 8:30 sounds amazing! :) I'd love a whole big bed to myself!
And Lulu they said I have reactive Lymphadenopathy.
tho my scan was to see if there was tumours, doctor only told me this today as she said she didn't want to worry me if there was nothing to worry about. If that makes sense?
I'm glad she never told me if I'm honest or I really would have been panicking the whole time n probably not resting and getting better. But she said it was all clear :) and diagnosed me with that reactive lympho thing.

Ducky23 · 21/11/2014 08:56

Ooohhh I would love a bed to myself!!! Grin Bet you had a good nights sleep!

I'm going to ff but have had a right earful from mil and mw about it!!!

That sounds scary cupcake! Is it something that is likely to return?

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 21/11/2014 17:15

Ducky they always go at u about bf because its "the best start in life" but ff babies get just a good start! Formula is just as good nowadays! :) my DS is fine n he was ff. he got filled up a lot better in formula milk so it meant he slept better :)
That's what I worry about next time if I decide to try to bf. I hope the next baby sleeps and is satisfied by bf! I bet I'll end up ff in the end anyway lol Grin
And well because they don't know what caused it, it could come back yeah :/ I hope not tho! :( was awful!

Ducky23 · 21/11/2014 17:41

Had a bit of a nightmare morning this morning... I had a lie in and when I got up after a while I thought I hadn't felt baby move at all, so I had something to eat, still nothing, had a cold drink, still nothing, lay on my left side and still nothing, I kept doing this but after a while got myself really worked up and called the hospital, I explained my history and said he wasn't moving and the woman on the phone huffed and said they are busy so she will call me back if I can go in....

Luckily the second I put the phone down he started moving (little bugger) because she didn't bother calling back.

Obviously later when there was a shift change, (not too long ago) someone called me back and apologised and asked if I still needed to go in Hmm

Cupcake92 · 21/11/2014 23:09

That's so bad of that midwife!! She should be a bit more kinder to u and should have made sure u were called back straight away! I'd complain about her. But glad he was all wiggly after that tho :)

Cupcake92 · 22/11/2014 20:51

How is everyone? :)

Ducky23 · 22/11/2014 21:30

Not too bad Smile how are you feeling cupcake? Are your tablets ok? Hope your getting lots of rest!

Am getting to the stage where I am just tierd all day again now!

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 22/11/2014 21:50

Good Ducky :) and ur bound to be tired a lot! How is baby?
And my tablets are surprisingly okay! I don't feel ill or anything on them and today i feel practically back to normal! :)
I've just ordered some conceive plus for next month hehe Grin

Ducky23 · 22/11/2014 22:24

He's wriggly which is a releif!!! When he moves I can see a foot sticking out!

Is that the lube stuff?

Typical h has caught a cold and a sore throat Confused hope that doesn't cause any problems with the induction if I catch it Hmm I catch things like that so easily Confused

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 23/11/2014 09:08

Aw that's good! :D he's all ready to break out haha Grin

And yep it is Ducky. Thought after a nice month off go all in next time and I've heard amazing reviews on conceive plus :)
A cold should affect ur induction Ducky don't worry :) just tell H to keep away for a bit Grin

Cupcake92 · 23/11/2014 09:50

It was meant to say shouldn't * !!

Ducky23 · 23/11/2014 11:49

Ah that's good to hear. Smile

Fingers crossed the cp works for you Smile have you thougt about accupuncture? May help with everything you have been through recently, it might make you feel better and I swear it's because of that I got pg this time. I loved it Grin

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 23/11/2014 15:51

I've never considered accupunctre Ducky! Is it good? What exactly does it do?

Ducky23 · 23/11/2014 15:55

I loved it!! Basically it's meant to 'balance' you inside, the guy I see was saying if your TTC you won't fall pg unless your body is 'balanced'. It sounds stupid but when you have a professional explaining it it makes sense! I went shortly after dd, I had really bad shoulder pain, saw him and I felt very relaxed after (instead of the emotional wreck I was, crying at the drop of a hat or attacking people!), my shoulder pain completely went and I fell pg that cycle Smile

I would definitely recommend it.

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 23/11/2014 15:58

And they can tell what is wrong with you without you saying a word by touching you in various places (hands,arms, head, feet etc) and then put tiny tiny needles in you depending on what they find. You don't feel the needles go in at all, I had them in my feet, shins, wrists, face and the back of my head... I didn't even know he did the one in the back of my head and went to walk out with it in!

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 23/11/2014 16:01

Oh wow sounds rele good!! :)
Hmm might have a look into that! :) I have such a bad knee too I wonder if I'd help that? Cuz my knee is awful even physio didn't help it!
How do u find some who does accupunctre ?

Ducky23 · 23/11/2014 17:14

I found the guy that does mine through a friend who started using him then recommended him to everyone. I suppose you could google it and read reviews? One popped up on my Facebook the other day too, id say if they have a fb page to check it out as people would leave reviews on there. Smile
