Morning

Ses try not to worry, sickness isn't a good sign to go off, some people can be really sick with girls, and none with boys, or just different pregnancies equals differing amounts of sickness. Having sickness unfortunately doesn't mean that all is well, and as others have said (I think you included) even after things have gone wrong you can still get symptoms for a long time (I had a big bump from the day I lost my baby, and it stayed for about 2 weeks before it started going)

Besides, silly dreams are all part of pregnancy, I had one last night that we stayed at my mums house, one of my sisters was there (we have a long running fued between us, we kind of stay polite for mum's sake but do our best not to see each other if we can help it) we were all having a chinese take away and my sister was dishing it all out for everyone, she gave my DH a tiny spoonfull of rice and gave herself the rest of the rice, argument started, I tipped her plate up in temper, and then DH realised that we'd Sky plussed our chinese at home so we would have it the next day anyway.....

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 24/09/2008 07:52

BTW, if the Sky+'ed chinese wasn't so strange, I would have been ing at me tipping her plate up, I'd be more likely to scrape it in the bin, think of the mess of rice everywhere....!

SesHasapinkline · 24/09/2008 08:23

Thanks NJ. I'm going to have to try and struggle on until the scan on Monday.
ROFL at your sky+ dream!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 24/09/2008 08:26

I know it seems like a lifetime away till the scan, but it will go quick enough. Can you plan something for each day? Kind of stepping stones?

I really must go and get DS2 ready, will be back later no doubt!

tinkcantwaitfor3dscan · 24/09/2008 08:34

Got my first midwife appointment this evening (god knows why its so late!!) and i'm 10+2 wks today!!

DH is on a weeks holiday which is nice as he's been doing the nursery runs with DS and i've been having mainly lazy days with an afternoon nap!! its been heaven!!

tinkcantwaitfor3dscan · 24/09/2008 10:56

SesHasapinkline · 24/09/2008 11:38

Morning tink and Glaskham

Glaskham - glad reduction in meds is going well - good for you! Lazy days sound good too!

I'm still going round in circles in my head and I'm going to have to stop it somehow. Have a busy few days at work from tomorrow until Saturday so hopefully that'll help.

DH has gone to Germany with work ("to buy a big machine"). Boys and their toys! He's left his work laptop behind so I'm borrowing it as mine is still poorly. I think it might be fatal actually so may invest in a new one if we have money left over after the move.

How's everyone else today? Anyone else out there lurking??!

Hello!!!!! I'm back from London - had a fab time fitting in the touristy things as well as attending the Conference. Interesting conf - did you know that by 2009 the gov are promising one to one care with the same midwife from booking in to labour?
Will read through the posts before bed, but just wanted to say hi and stop that tumbleweed in its tracks!
Am on cd 10, and got a neg tonight from opk, but will keep on trying to catch the egg this month!

lardybump · 24/09/2008 19:54

Diege · 25/09/2008 09:33

Morning!
Enjoy your trip to Mothercare TINKS It's a lovely time buying bedding etc - have fond memories!
Working from home today, but have builders here putting down boards in the loft so is very loud! Sod's law I do actually have stuff to do too with this new commission .
Right, best get on - hope everyone has good days

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 25/09/2008 09:47

morning Tink and Diege (and anyone lurking)

Tink- i'm of your baby trip today... i can't wait to be going buying... though i've half promised myself i wont buy anthing like bedding and clothes till i know the sex, so still another 10wks for me!!

Diege- Working from home??? dont you mean MNing all day???

As for me, not up to much today, just had a couple of things end on ebay this morning... have been very sick this morning so far so ended up taking a dose of my medicine again (only my second dose in 5 days!!!)

MW app last night went good... i'm perfectly normal, and not as overweight as i thought... as i am a little over my recommended BMI i'll be needing a glucose test later on but i'm sure it'll be fine, i'm no bigger than i was when pg with DD. Should get my scan date through the post within the next week so getting all exited!! DH has said he'll buy me a doppler too!! (getting the same one as you Tink!!)

Right i'm gonna slob on the couch all morning, hoping i can get a sleep later, had a rough night last night!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 25/09/2008 11:22

Morning

Tink enjoy Mothercare shop

Diege, sounds like the conference was worth it

Glask glad MW's went so well I'm with you on the shitty night, contractions went about 11.30, got into bed, within 5 minutes DS2 started absolutely screaming his head off/crying, rushed into him, nothing seemed wrong, so settled him and got back into bed, but the jumping out of bed started the contractions again, 10 minutes later DS2 screamed again, worried about him waking DS1 up so I brought him downstairs and dozed on the sofa with him for an hour or so in between contractions, then DH came down and said he couldn't sleep knowing I was down here on my own, so we all 3 of us got back into our bed, and there was the last of my sleep, between DS2 kicking about and groaning every now and then, and the contractions think I managed about an hour in total.

Have just nipped into town again, needed a proper coffee! Went into this shop that I've never been in before, B and something bargains it was called, can't remember the something! Anyway, turned out to be a cheap tat place, but I got to the last aisle having only picked up a bar of galaxy (obviously!) and they had a load of Postman Pat toys - DS2 squealed with delight, so I have now bought more stuff for DS2 xmas, which means I have to play catch up for DS1.... t'is going to carry on like this till xmas isn't it?

tinkcantwaitfor3dscan · 25/09/2008 11:39

Hi Wilson . Sorry for af, but as you say some months would be better than others anyway. Originally postponed my ttc due to fears of sickness at work etc, but now they'll just have to take me vomit and all. Really hoping for this month, though no signs of ovulation yet (cd 11).

just got back from midwife all great see her again in 4 weeks

lardybump · 25/09/2008 16:37

wow you have all been quiet today.

I also had a bad night last night. DD has been off her food and had a nasty cold for about 3 days but last night she woke at midnight crying I went into her and she was boiling. Took her temp and it was 39.9 she also had a rash so called NHS Team. Went through a lot of questions and decided that I would keep an eye on her and to give her calpol. I only had calprofen in the house so had to dash to 24 hour garage. DD woke up every 30 mins or so after that so I gave up at 5 and got up with her!! She has had a temp all day and has been really weepy all day and hasn't slept yet either.... I am so tired..... If she has another bad night I am taking her to the GP tomorrow!!

Anyway enough about me how is everyone else. Lovely beding tink I can not wait to go and spend some money on baby but waiting till after 20 week scan which is 2 weeks away yet....
