SES that is the most amazing news!!! I've just caught up with yesterday's excitement, and am so pleased for you!!! How will you contain yourself at work!!
Well dh just left with dds 1&2, so just me and dd3 until my mum arrives. Place is a tip and fridge also gave up the ghost last night so we are living out of a cool bag with ice packs!! No chance for GOF this monring - sod's law as EWM has just arrived - oh well, here's to next month, and that some of SES's luck rubs off!

GYo · 30/08/2008 08:49

wow congrats Ses! So excited for you. think the fr tests are as good as they get but good to get reassurance When will you do the CBD?

GYo · 30/08/2008 08:53

Diege- sorry that your ewm turns up as dh leaves. Bloody sods law. Hope you have a good weekend with Dd3 and your mum! Bugger about the fridge. Hope you can keep some wine cool on the ice packs!

morning

congrats ses what great news

i have put a scan pic from yest on my profile

any thoughts on whether it looks like a boy or girl

i am thinking a girl since i woke up going to get a cheap pink newborn outfit.

Dalrymps · 30/08/2008 09:10

Hey tink, can't see the pic, theres no yellow folder?

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 30/08/2008 10:04

Good morning

Tink congrats on the scan going so well, sorry couldn't get on yesterday has been a bit hectotic here these last couple of weeks.

Dal just click on Tink's name

Ses, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS I am soooo chuffed for you When are you due?

Hi everyone else I am 22 weeks today T'is flying by, though have had some pretty strong regular contractions over the last day or so and have got sooooo much pressure in my bum (those that have done the labour thing, not as intense as second stage, but certainly enough to make me wonder whats going on). Am going to ask the MN'ers if I should get it checked out or just put up and shut up. 18+ weeks left to go, not sure I can cope with getting stressed about IU this early on!

Dalrymps · 30/08/2008 10:17

nataliejane - I didn't know you could click on the name to bring the profile up!

Tink - I think it's a girl, could be wrong though!

tinkhasanacrobatic · 30/08/2008 11:29

hi nat so it has been hectic
it does fly by doesnt it
i had aching down there mainly bum was my muscles as think i was overdoing the walking around is ok now

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 30/08/2008 12:00

I have rang labour ward, MW is happy for me to wait it out without having to go in. She said if the contractions get any stronger or closer together (currently running at around every 20 minutes) then I have to go in straight away. Told me to rest (yeah right, still to do today is a trip to town, trip to see MIL, trip to Ikea, plus all the usual dinner, baths, etc....) I have my normal AN appointment on Tuesday so am preparing myself for an argument with the MW, she'll have me cartered off down the consultants quicker than it takes me to say "No, I'm not going there" but if I shout loud enough I might just get away with it!

I think the baby is getting hiccups, which is probably why the IU has started again. It all feels so different this time because I hardly ever feel him moving, just get a feeling every now and then that there is something doing a sharp movement in a nice steady rhythm, so am guessing it's hiccs. DS2 had them almost constantly while I was pregnant with him, so it makes sense.

But the pressure..... I stood up at one point last night and felt like all of my internal organs were about to drop out! LOL I didn't have so much pressure last time until the very end.

I am laughing now but am really not looking forward to 18+ weeks of this! At least so far the contractions aren't very painful, so it didn't affect my sleep last night, it was the lack of sleep last time that nearly tipped me over the edge, so fingers crossed that won't start for at least a little while yet.

Diege · 30/08/2008 13:06

Ooh Nat hope you're OK! Sounds very painful I must say, but good that you got some reassurance from labour ward .
Dal, I agree with you, deffo a girl for TINKS! .
GYO, no wine I'm afraid - have had to prioritise milk! Also, my body seems to be playing tricks as EWM has disappeared and I have that thickish stuff instead . Hold on in their cervix till Tuesday please!! We could still be on for this month!!!

Diege · 30/08/2008 13:07

on in there (sorry, I couldn't leave that in - I am a grammar pedant!).

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 30/08/2008 13:21

Painful is the wrong word so far, just uncomfortable, uncomfortable I can do.

We have so much to get done today, and I can't do any of it until DH gets home, so we are all sat around waiting for him to roll up and then it will be go go go!

Dontcha love Saturdays?!

lardybump · 30/08/2008 13:56

afternoon all. I hate saturdays. Here I am working hard while dd and dp (well p at the moment the d bit went out the window) are out at a party and BBQ.... I hate working so much! I want a life for pitys sake....

lardybump · 30/08/2008 14:25

So sorry NJ glad you checked things out and that there is no reason to worry. I hope it settles down and is not the start of anything......

Diege hope that your eggs can hold on for just a few days at least.... he he

dibdabscribble · 30/08/2008 16:05

Am I allowed to join you please?
Am going to start TTC proper in January, would love to get to know you all...

lardybump · 30/08/2008 16:13

Hello dibdab please take a seat, are you going to be TTC your first child or do you have childrem already?

dibdabscribble · 30/08/2008 16:22

Hi I have a 5 year old but we acquired him in an unconventional way! So this would be our first biological child/pregnancy although we are already parents! Complicated life I lead, eh?
What an exciting thread, makes January seem aaaages away though!

lardybump · 30/08/2008 16:32

Well we are a mixture here. The thread started ages ago and was for people who were waiting to TTC. But as time has gone on at different times ladies have jumped off the waggon and gone for it. So we have some still waiting to TTC (as you are, I believe you are the third waiting till Jan), TTC now and up the duff already...

You will love it here we are all very friendly but will warn you we are very nosey too....... Nothing is TMI and we all talk too much.....

Anything else you need to know just ask as i say we are all nosey...

I have a DD of 17 months and am 15 weeks pg with my second. I will find the list in a bit and you can pop your details on....

Your not late at all!!!!

GruffaloSoldier · 30/08/2008 17:12

CONGRATULATIONS SES!!!!!!!

Fantastic news.

Welcome dibdab!

Sorry to hear you are uncomfortable NJ!

Tink - complete guess, but I'm going to say boy.

Hi to everyone else!

I had my first midwife appointment today which went well. Got all my information and free book etc, I found it very exciting

Nausea is still pants but I'm coping much better!
