So happy for you tori Smile

Thanks I am Grin

Glad you are feeling better lulu Smile one word of advice from me, get your maternity pads, then get more, and more and more and more... I completely underestimated how many I would need even though I have birth before Blush I was wearing 2 on top of each other the first day and was soaking through then quickly BlushBlushBlushBlush
Jim (ds just hit my phone and wrote that Grin)

How's the sickness cupcake?

Cupcake92 · 16/12/2014 16:18

I made the same mistake with DS Ducky! I didn't buy enough maternity pads at all! And had to ask mil to go buy me some!! Haha!
And aawwww bless ur DS! He typed 'Jim' !! Maybe he's trying to tell u he wants to be called Jim Grin baby Jim!
And the sickness is a bit worse today but I've brought some ginger biscuits see if they help :) can't believe I'm pregnant, its just so great !! Haha! Grin

Tori after sickness has gone you'll change your mind, we must be programmed to forget. I felt exactly the same but now I'm feeling better it seems easier than it was.

Ducky23 · 16/12/2014 17:20

Ha with ds I bled like a normal period (maybe even less) for about 4-5 days and that was it, so maternity pads were ridiculous!

I thought I was being clever this time by getting two packs of 'slim' maternity pads, I went through 3/4 packs of hospital maternity pads, dm had to get me 4 more packs and I just got through and started a new pack of the 'slim' ones... All in 8 days!

I think I had crazy hormones as I felt very down at the end of my pregnancy and very very touchy the days after but I am starting to feel like my old self again now and me and h have got on today ShockShockShock

I am lying on the sofa watching 'The Missing' and I am having those tightenings again. DH can feel them if he puts his hands on the bump. It is an odd feeling but not painful, just tightenings.

Am I practising?

Cupcake92 · 16/12/2014 21:30

As long as they aren't coming every 5 minutes it's just braxton hicks Lulu :) I remember getting them and ur belly goes all hard, it's bery strange!

Ducky23 · 16/12/2014 21:37

Sounds like bh lulu, if you are worried time how often they are coming.
But I think if anything was happening you would feel it Wink

LuluJakey1 · 16/12/2014 22:35

I'm sure it isn't anything significant but it is strange when it happens. DH thinks he will stay awake 'just incase' Xmas Hmm

I'm not staying awake. I hardly slept last night and did a 12 hour stint at work. Am planning on a good night's sleep.

'I'll stay awake Lu incase you go into labour and I'll wake you up.' Does he think I won't know? Xmas Confused

LuluJakey1 · 16/12/2014 22:41

Anyway, I have got lots to do at work before I leave so baby can't come this week.

I need to be there by 7.15 tomorrow to get things done before my team meeting. One of my staff is off this week- exhausted Hmm His wife says he is too exhausted to set work for his classes so I am doing that. I took his bottom set in with my class today rather than them have a supply teacher who looked about 75. They would have eaten him whole. I sent him to get himself a cup of tea. He looked relieved. Grin

Siarie · 17/12/2014 11:09

Just quickly posting (will read up in a bit), had my 20 week scan today and all is well. They also confirmed the sex as a girl, so feeling confident that is right now.

Ducky23 · 17/12/2014 11:16

Bless him lulu! He will stay awake just incase GrinGrinGrin

Congratulations siarie!!! GrinGrinGrin

Siarie · 17/12/2014 11:30

Thanks Ducky, the was my final milestone in my head before I can accept that everything's developing ok. I know there are still risks but that scan is a big relief.

Lulu I think I felt BH a few weeks ago, seemed a bit early for me though but it was like what you've said tightenings. How much longer have you got now?

Cupcake How are you feeling? Really glad you've got your BFP so quickly
Again. You know what with Duckys little one making an escape we needed another pregnant lady to take place

Ducky23 · 17/12/2014 11:40

Form an orderly que!! Smile

Can't wait for the next one to pop out!

Ducky23 · 17/12/2014 14:49

Lovely pic Siarie and glad everything is fine.

You sound very busy lulu good job you are finishing soon so you can put your feet up. Glad things are improving with dh too.

Cupcake nice to hear you had a good first day at your new job and you are feeling pregnant Smile

How are you and ds ducky?

Hope I'm the next in queue for my bfp Wink

LuluJakey1 · 17/12/2014 22:59

I am full of energy today. Can't understand why. Have done loads of work, been shopping tonight, had a bath and made DH work hard to persuade me to DTD. Xmas Grin

He is now looking rather smug and sleepy whereas I am wide awake.

Needless to say, he didn't stay awake last night incase I went into labour. He slept like a log. I could have given birth next to him and he wouldn't have woken up.

LuluJakey1 · 17/12/2014 23:00

See consultant and midwife tomorrow afternoon.

Purplelilly · 18/12/2014 01:49

Congratulations on your girl Siarie :)

Cupcake92 · 18/12/2014 04:41

Lulu a burst energy towards the end of pregnancy can sometimes mean labour is about to happen! :)

21 I hope u get that BFP this month! When are u due for testing?

I've woken up at 4:30am and thrown up Angry looks like I won't be escaping the Ms monster! But I'm now lay here and have some cramps and it's worrying me Sad I knew there would come a point where I would start to worry but I was hoping it wouldn't be just yet. so I'm just sitting up in bed for a bit to see if it goes. It seems to be easing off.

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 18/12/2014 06:04

Try not to worry Cupcake. I had cramps until I was about 10 weeks- just felt like AF was about to arrive all the time. Not getting sleep doesn't help with worrying either.
