Ducky if u suspect it's ur waters then go to hospital and they can check and tell u if it is or not quite easily :) waters can gradually go. Little trickles at a time. If I were u just go and see what midwives say or just give them all call and explain. Is it pad also wet? M
And 21 the only time o temped I got my bfp haha I noticed I ovulated different to what I expected when I temped but it got me my bfp! So I'm deffo gonna temp next cycle :)

Ducky- if it is still happening, I would go and get checked out. There is nothing glamorous about pregnancy is there? So far, I have had vomitting, bad wind, constipation, hot flushes, spots, heartburn and stretch marks.

I am in no better a mood today. DH rang me from work this morning to say someone at his place is ill and can't go on a course in London tomorrow and Friday. He had been asked to go. It meant him travelling down tonight. He didn't think he should go. I said he should. He was upset with me because he said it just suited me for him to go because I am so moody at the moment and I was not thinking about what would happen if I went into early labour. I said I would be fine, I wouldn't be going into labour but if I did the hospital would ring him not that I was just being awkward Anyway, he has gone and I have two days to myself. I am still in a bad mood by myself.

I haven't had anything at all since so think it was just one of them lovely pregnancy things! Confused

Lulu I would LOVE the house to myself for a few days. Sounds like bliss! How did his quiz go?

No idea Ducky. I was in bed in the spare room when he came in and I was late leaving for work so went in my car and he went in his earlier.

It is so peaceful here now. Quiet and cool and dark. Just bliss. No one clumping round. No one wittering on. No one making the bed like a furnace and making the place untidy. I have changed the bed and it smells of fabric conditioner and me, no one else. My pillows are in the middle and so am I.
He rang earlier on but I didn't answer then I texted to say I had been in the bath and I am fine. I think I might suggest he stays with one of his best friends on Friday night, who lives down there.

Pregnancy is so strange. I don't feel like me at all. Sad

Cupcake92 · 26/11/2014 22:55

Oh Lulu, pregnancy can be a crazy thing and play havoc with out feeling and emotions. Deep down u love DH to bits so don't worry about how u feel atm :) it'll pass. Pregnancy is crazy haha.

Thanks Ducky! :)
Aaww bless u! :( at least u went and got checked out that's good :) hopefully he'll come very soon! So u can put ur anxiety to rest!

Siarie · 27/11/2014 15:44

Yay well done to him Cupcake, I've got bad sinus pressure it hasn't really gone away this whole pregnancy. Very annoying, but I don't think its bad enough to have antibiotics for.

Glad everything is fine Ducky, even I'm starting to have movement anxiety now. It's still early but some days I won't feel anything and I get my doppler out to check the HB. Once i get to a certain point I'll have to rely on the movements though. I can feel this little one tapping me from the inside now, hehe it's so ticklish!

Ducky23 · 27/11/2014 16:29

He seems to move a little bit less now and the movements are more like pressure in places than actual movements, guess it's because he's getting so big.
With dd I never reached this stage so it's all new to me!!

Movement anxiety is sooo horrible!!! Shock

Oh no tori Confused I hate to say it but I felt like that up until a couple of weeks ago when his head started to engage, apparently that stablises your hips Confused

Cupcake, that is excellent news about your DH. Well done him. Good news for you and DS too.

It sounds like everyone has worries today- aches and pains and worries. I hope tomorrow is a good day for everyone.

I am in no better a mood and have told DH to stay in London with his friend on Friday night. He was pissed off with me and said he was staying on Saturday night too then. Suits me TBH.

Oh lulu hope your feeling better soon! Maybe after a little break you will feel like yourself again Smile

LuluJakey1 · 27/11/2014 20:10

I don't know Ducky. I am just irritated by the way he went on the other day. He was so bloody smug and thought he was being clever and he was so arrogant. He has a particular view of himself- which isn't at all accurate - and can't take any perceived challenge to it.

I am quite happy with just me and the bump at the moment. And I don't want to leave work for a year. I love my job. Sad

That's great cupcake, really good news about dh job all ready for your bfp next monthWink

That doesn't sound good lulu perhaps a couple of days apart will do the trick.

Sounds painful Tori hope your physio appointment next week sorts you out. I suffered sciatica in pregnancy I could hardly walk at one point.

I think my ds may be pregnant she did tell me she was trying and I've noticed the past two times we've been together she has refused alcohol. I will be pleased for her obviously but a teensy bit jealous it's only her second month trying.

Ooh I just got an email from MNHQ.

I applied for a trial that I saw on here for the stork conception aid and I have been chosen.

How exciting!

Cupcake92 · 27/11/2014 21:51

Thanks everyone :)

N sounds like ur all having a hard time atm :( I hope everything fixes its self soon!! And ur all happy and pain free again :)

I have good news too :) I may have a new job also! My auntie works in a doctors surgery and there's a job going there for reception and she put my name forward and the manager is calling me up in the next few days about it :) exciting stuff!!

21questions · 27/11/2014 22:52

It's a device that has a cervical cap with an applicator which is supposed to deposit the sperm exactly where it's needed. Haven't told dh yet not sure what he will make of it Confused but I'm willing to try anything. Can't believe I got picked they sell for £100 each!

Good luck with the job sounds good Smile

Cupcake92 · 28/11/2014 07:45

OMG I ate too much pizza/sides/dessert yesterday. I've never been so uncomfortable! I ate until I couldn't eat anymore which was fine but then as it worked it way down (sorry haha) it was so uncomfortable! Then my back oh my God, my back started hurting. Is that normal? It's almost like I put so much food in that is squished everything and pressed on my poor back.

Cupcake92 · 28/11/2014 13:09

Thanks Ducky!
N oh no! :( I hate colds, especially when pg they just a take away all ur energy! Hope it goes very soon!

Oh gosh Siarie! Hope ur backs okay! I got bad back when pg. very normal :)
Hope all ur foods gone down ! Lol! Grin

I've had cramps on and off all morning today :s so weird!!

Siarie · 28/11/2014 15:13

I have a back injury which was "fixed" through physio, it's a little tender this morning. I had no idea over eating could do that when pregnant very weird!

My therapist warned me about getting pregnant when I had physio. He said it would be really painful, I hope it's not but I had a protruding spinal disc, I suppose as my muscles which have been strengthened to counter it get all pushed around I'm going to end up with it protruding out into my spinal cord again Hmm

Aww cramps suck, at least you can take pain relief though.
