My work was lovely. They are very used to it though as there is normally 3 people pregnant at the same time.

I really want a private scan. I have no symptoms and a few of the girls on the Due Dec thread that are panicing about no morning sickness. Its got me a bit paniced too. What do you think? I had no morning sickness with DS and I didnt worry then.

Night LL

Diege · 01/05/2008 20:34

Kay DON'T WORRY!!!! Everyone experiences pregnancy differently, and even if you had been sick with ds1, you wouldn;t necessarily be with this baby. And it sounds like this pregnancy is pretty much like with ds1 (ie, no sickness) anyway, so you have absolutely no grounds for worry!!! Do you hear me woman!!!

kayzisexpecting · 01/05/2008 20:37

Yes I do. I will wait. I can spend £70 on baby clothes or shoes.

Diege · 01/05/2008 20:56

Good!! And I say spend it on shoes!!!

kayzisexpecting · 01/05/2008 21:08

I will do. I have seen a pair I like.

tinkiswaiting · 01/05/2008 21:27

night night chatty ladies

Diege · 01/05/2008 21:36

Night from me too xxx

Squack · 01/05/2008 21:58

Dh loves Galaxy, but it's too sweet for me. I'm rather partial to some G&B though.

Marmite is the sandwich spread of the devil
I love the recent ad's they've done though, the Paddington bear one is great.

NJI second not leaving the thread during a crucial time. The Pope does not go on his coffee break during mass ( no offence meant to Catholics).

Diege ear-tugging is ime usually a sign of ear infection, poor mite.

Kayz every women is different and each of their pg is different. I would love to be pg and not have m/s, sounds win/win to me. Take care of yourself, the stress of not having m/s is probably worse for you

See ya tomorrow!

Oh, party went well, everyone had a lovely time, muchos presents and cake and balloons, only just got them into bed at 9pm, off to watch telly.

kayzisexpecting · 02/05/2008 06:14

Morning!

Squack I think yiu are right. I will stop worrying. I didn't have a single symptom with DS, I did wee more after about 20 weeks. But I had no other symptoms until I went into Labour really.

Thanks for helping me.

I'm glad the party went well.

Squack · 02/05/2008 06:29

Well I know it's easy for me to say that and the early weeks are the hardest until you get your 10/12 week dating scan, and you can see an actual little person.

I feel it's perfectly acceptable to worry a little about the bean because although you're the home and protector for it, we don't do much (consciously) do we, there is still a feeling of powerlessness should something be wrong.

I know where you're coming from

I'm at work today, then a HE trip with Dd, then off to shops for a fancy dress outfit for Dh, then tea and if it's before Dirty, Sexy, Money that I get to sit down then Ill pop on.

Good temp rise this morning

kayzisexpecting · 02/05/2008 06:32

I haven't been worried about it until last night. A lot of the girls in due dec are worried and its just got me worried now. I'm maybe one of those lucky woman that never get morning sickness.

Squack · 02/05/2008 06:36

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 06:48

Good morning

Kay I am the same, I don't get morning sickness, well maybe a week or so of very slight nausea, but not actual pysical sickness. I really would try not to worry Oh and LOL at the song Although think I'm gonna be singing it all day now!

I also had lovely thick pregnancy hair, after I had him it fell out in handful (literally - I was peeing myself!) then it started growing back, then when I finished feeding him some more grew back. The first lot that started growing is in my fringe now, but the second lot is still standing on end until I do something with it!

Squack glad DD's birthday went well, what a long day though!! And hoorah for temp rise

LL hope your DD get's on OK at the doctors

Looks like I will deffo be off the thread for the whole week, DH added about 5 things to the list last night that we have to get done..... won't have time to scratch my head the way it is going.

Still bunged up, but not blocked up, how does that work? How can you feel all bunged up, but then be able to breathe through it?

calsworld · 02/05/2008 06:55

Hi, anyone there, I need advice and don't really have time to start a new thread?

calsworld · 02/05/2008 06:59

DS was sick again last night - spectacularly - like a scene out of the exorcist. OK, I'm exaggerating...

when i picked him up from nursery he was fine, but very tired. went home as usual and fed him tea, watched a bit of telly together then bath and bed. settled down ok, i'm downstairs watching telly, he starts crying and is very upset very quickly, so i go racing upstairs, pick him up and walk into our bedroom with him as i can't soothe him, and he projects dinner and his nightime milk EVERYWHERE.

Advice needed - do I have to keep him home today? He woke at 2 and wouldn't settle back to sleep, till I realised he wanted food and he had bread and marmite, which he's kept down. He went back to sleep and slept till morning when first thing he's done is asked for food.

Is it possible he just ate too much for tea last night? He stuffed a big portion of chicken pasta then had 4oz milk?

He just doesn't seem ill.

calsworld · 02/05/2008 07:08

You weren't quick enough for me , started a new thread here

Diege · 02/05/2008 07:14

Morning . Cals, I've had this a few times with dds - a sudden vomt-fest and then fine. I always go on how they seem in the morning in making the decision to put in nursery or noe. If it is a bug, the morning milk/cereal will invariably come back up. If not,and he seems fine in himself, I would think it was just a 'one off' (funny how they always seem to be at night!). So yes, if no more sick, then put him in. They will let you know if he is not well!!
Kay, some good advice from Squack there - and you too Nat re: the pope and his coffee break, pmsl!! For what it's worth, it does sound rather like hayfeaver symptoms Nat, and many people have been getting them for some weeks now.
Well I have a nice trip planned to Salford Quays today to see my friend from the NOV05 thread that I went down to London with. Should be fun, and of course we will be totally on time . Then it's back to the dreaded shoes shop to get yet another pair of shoes fro dd1 this time. I just hope the items I'm seeling on E-bay pull in some wodge as I am getting seriously broke!
Speak after school, diege xxx

Diege · 02/05/2008 07:16

, Err, looks like I am in the minority Cals, but still go by the breakfast test theory..I think it's just diarreah (sp?) that nursery has the 48 hour policy on? If he seems fine and isnt; clingy, tearful etc, and has kept his breakfast down, there's a very good chance he will be absoloutely fine.

calsworld · 02/05/2008 07:19

Diege, have to say, I'm with you - just wanted to see if anyone else would be! Looks like I've started a prickly one, hope I don't get shouted at!

Diege · 02/05/2008 07:22

Cals, you know your own son best, so it really is a case of go with your instinct. Based on my own experiences of using nursery for 6 years (and still having dd3 there), they (the staff) would even say to me that if a child hadn;t been sick that morning, then they're happy to have them. It really does seem to be the poo thing they're need the 'quatrantine' period for

Diege · 02/05/2008 07:23

Cals, just thank them for his advice and get him to nursery

Diege · 02/05/2008 07:25

Bloody hell, I am in the minority aren't I??

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 07:41

Cal I am with Diege, DS1 went through about 6 months worth of just being sick every now and then, for no apparent reason, once we were just going out the door to school, DS1 had obviously been fine, I opened the door, he said "Mum I feel sick" I said "Upstairs to the bathroom now" he was sick, brushed his teeth, said he was absolutely fine, so we went to school, just in time for the bell!

As Diege said, you know your son, and you would know if it was a bug, or just one of those things.

I did take some of that piroton (sp?) stuff last night after Playing's suggestion, but it has done nothing.... guess it is just an odd cold, will probably come out properly next week while the last thing I will need is a cold!

kayzisexpecting · 02/05/2008 07:49

Does anyone want to go to the dentist for me?

I hate the dentist and I have been finding it really hard to brush my teeth in the morning as it makes me feel sick. I've been doing them in the afternoon and evening instead but I'm sure they'll moan.

Also we are going to take DS out this weekend, but we dont know what to do.

Would you go swimming or take him to a soft play place?

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 07:56

Swimming everytime, soft play is the place of nightmares! Unless you are like me and join in
