The one where Emmsy's friends say, 'if you're names not down, you're not coming in!'

[HeyThereGeorgieGirl]

What do you think?

xx

Lob us a Creme Egg Fruity! Yummmmmm. Thought I might be a bit optimistic about the summer weather. But never say never. Knowing my luck we'll have a heatwave and I'll be sweating and looking like a hippo for June and July!!!

Right, I'm off to see what the new series of Hustle is like.

Thanks for all your good wishes - Elise's appointment went well, except she screamed the whole time the osteopath was touching her! Apparently her being on antibiotics for her kidney problems probably aren't helping, nor the kidney problem itself. Anyway, today the osteopath concentrated on her diaphragm - apparently it's a bit tight which could explain her explosive poos We're going back for another appointment next Wednesday so we'll see if there is any improvement between now and then. I've heard good things about cranial osteopathy (and thanks for your recommendation Georgie) so fingers crossed this will help, along with the homeopathic remedies she's already taking and the healing my Mum is giving her...
Teehee It's good you've got your NCT classes sorted, hope you enjoy them as much as we have and that you meet a nice bunch of people Glad you're concentrating on getting well.
Where are all these mad people then?! I must admit I only check this thread and my PN one and occasionally have a look at others for specific problems (sleep, bf). I steer well clear of the AIBU ones!
Hope everyone else is OK and having a nice evening DH is currently giving Elise her night-time bottle of EBM so I've got a few minutes to myself!

georgie I'm really chuffed with it, it's so advanced I'm struggling to think of a fault with it actually. The organiser on it is fab too! Great for keeping track of all these hospital appointments etc! I managed to upgrade for free as I threatened to leave orange I pay £35 per month for contract unltd internet inc! Can't go wrong!![Grin] X

fruity I am a geek your right! Give us an egg babe!!

cricri how do you find expressing? I presume that's what you mean by ebm? I'm really keen to bf when the time comes but love the idea of dh getting to do a regular feed too.

Morning
Just put mindee down for nap, toast under grill and now finally sitting down.

Those cream eggs were delicious I only had 2 though
DP bought Batman The Dark Knight on Blueray yesterday. Film was excellent but I'll be damned if I can notice any difference between Blueray and DVD It was the same with Casino Royal, great film but again, not impressed - can't see what all the fuss is about. Gimme an old Betamax any day
I then tried to stay awake for Proof of Life which was on telly but just had to go to bed. Seen it anyway.
Bella I would thoroughly recommend BFing. I only wish my stupid body had made enough milk to carry on with DS - had to stop at 5 weeks (You might remember). I'm going to make damned sure I do all I can to make milk this time as it's such a wonderful thing to be able to do.
Expressing (EBM=expressed breast milk)is fantastic if you can get any out. Some women who seem to have gallons of milk can't get any out through expressing as it's a different kind of suck to a baby's.
If there are any BFing workshops at your hospital then you should go along. Go with an open mind though - I'm sure they will tell you that every woman can do it (like the BFing nazis on MN ), it's not true!
We have a BFing workshop at St.George's but it's only on in the week and I don't fancy taking mindee's to that!
Fab deal with the Blackberry BTW I pay £35 per month and I don't even get internet let alone a lovely phone like a blackberry! I should've asked actually but I didn't think I'd really need one - Quite fancy one now.
Georgie yes to a date in the diary. When is Libs at school again? Weds mornings are good for you aren't they? Could do a usual Wacky Warehouse. I can't wait for it to get warmer so we can go to Wimbledon Park again
cricri sounds like you got some good info from the osteopath, I'm sure it will be very beneficial

Hello girls, lovely to see you all
fantastic news on the nuchal test georgie try and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy X

cricri must have missed the talk about the explosive poo! Amy suffered with it, DH was always making remarks about it. Its only been the last 2 weeks or so that her movements have settled down not so violent and wet. It's now a greenish colour instead of yellow and it's a lot thicker. I changed her milk when she was approx 6 wks old thinking it would help with digestion but things stayed the same until very recently. Amy suffers alot of colic, usually at the same time every night, she writhes in agony, I have given infacol since birth but I'm not sure if it really works? really hope elise settles down soon X (sorry for such graphic details girls)

Ei lovely to know that all is well with you, I know what it's like to have you laptop hijacked! Kids are still very much into club penguin grrr

scully can't expess how happy I am for you missus, chill and enjoy XX

fruity enjoy your food lady, it really is the only time that you feel you have an excuse to put on extra weight, you can get it off after the birth, I have only just started another diet, thoroughly enjoy xmas first! (have to beak it tomorrow though as was given a bottle of wine by one of the mums at the school, I had given her a hpt and a few opk's before xmas to try and help her on her quest to get pregnant)

thld is it you who is suffering from
piles? I have had them during and after pregnancy, very painful, best to get some cream from the chemist,I have definately found that it
helped, you have to drink plenty of water and eat plenty of fruit & veg, also brown bread, plenty of roughage to keep the stools soft, nothing worse than trying to pass hard stools when you in agony, best wishes X

kate hope your doing ok, keep little snacks in your briefcase, I always found it helped to snack little & often. I wouldn't worry too much about the case, I know it's very important to you, but so is your pregnancy! We don't want you stressed out in any shape or form, you and your baby must come first. With crime on the increase, you will have plenty of time to get your teeth into juicy cases, just relax and let it all happen, if things get too much for you, you must take time out, ok! Take it easy X
Really sorry girls, most of my posts are about poo today, ah well DH is always saying I talk aload of s*

fruity Betamax!!! Are you kidding me! lol I don't think I'm even old enough to remember them! Thanks for the info on bf, I really am very keen and will look into classes as you said. It's strange that you say that about BlueRay as I was having the same experience with DH he bought Dark Knight and I got him Casino Royale (which I think is pants) on Blue Ray and he thinks the "blacks are deeper" etc and I can't see a thing different!!

Morning. Would it be ok if another lovely lady joined us? She's called Nekabu. I met her on Pregnancy when I was stressing about the nuchal results. She's had a tough time too. But same as me, she got a good result in the end. She's pg with her first and could do with some hand holding. Have told her to come and find me over here if she needs some support. She's due on the same day as me! Have also pointed her in direction of July Ante Natal. xxx

Morning Fruity. Am scoffing a bowl of bran flakes. Mini donughts been locked away! I loved the Dark Knight. Thought Heath Ledger was very good in it. Wednesdays are good for me too. How are Thursday mornings?

Bella I think I need a trip to phone shop to go check out Crackberry's! I'm with Orange too. So will ask them for same rate. BF is great. Second everything that Fruity said. Both of mine were BF and had formula. (Mixed feeding). It took me over a week with Mollie (DD1) to get the hang of it. And Libby (DD2) just sucked me dry which is why we had to top her up with formula.

Gotta dash. But will be back later.

Morning to everyone else. Have a great day. xxxx

Hi ladies,
Am not in school today - I get to stay at home on Friday so I've not moved from the sofa since 7am. DD in nursery - bliss.
Georgie I don't have a pencil case . I rarely even carry a pen and have to go hunting .
Mollie No problem. Hope you're ok lovely. xxx
Teehee Thanks for the chat last night. Hope you're less sore today.
Fruity Thanks for the text. Glad he likes it.

Sparkly Lovely chat last night, really cheered up my duvet prison!! Did DH win and have you moved from the sofa? Have you had the pretence of having work surrounding you or just chilled out? Didn't realise you got Fridays off, you lucky thing-mind you not like you don't put the hours in other times.

Kate Hope you are just busy looking after yourself and working on your case and that your absence isn't anything to worry about.

Emmsy lol at your post about poo. Y'see the whole reproduction thing is so damn glamourous. Your advice is good though and have been doing all of that and getting better all the time.

Fruity Did you leave DP sleeping today? Why is it that you and Georgie always seems to have lovely food to hand! I really don't think I've taken advantage of this extra eating thing.

Mollie No I hadn't actually looked at the thread but had heard about it although now you put the link in I had a look - ouch ouch!! Crazy lady! Thinking of you and remember I will not be going very far from my bed this weekend so will be around if you need anything.

Bella and Fruity am so glad that DP is not into techie stuff, although I think we are both quite excited to get our new TV - it's not here yet though - boo.

Cricri Good news that there may be a reason for the explosive poos - can they do anything about it?

Anyone doing anything exciting this weekend that I can live vicariously through. We are sanding and varnishing our dining room floor - well when I say we I mean DP obviously - I will be offering moral support.

Teehee No, not moved all day - just managed to put a load in the washing machine and load the dish washer and get dressed (at least it'll look like I haven't been sat here all day when DP gets home!!). He did win when he came home. I had a few glasses of wine and then he started his nonsense . Don't think I've due to ovulate for a few days so will not be allowing myself to obsess. Haven't done any work today. Have been watching tv and nattering to friends. Are you feeling any better? xx

Hey TeeHee Its' Libby's 3rd birthday tomorrow. We're having a party at home for her and 9 of her friends. Eek. Got the damn in-laws down as well. So make that 11 people to look after tomorrow afternoon!!!! Feel free to live vicariously thru Libby whilst she's having a party. You can enjoy the sugar rushes, tantrums and wet knickers of a 3 year old!!!!!

She's chosen a High School Musical cake, cups, plates, napkins, goody bags..... you get the picture.

We're giving her Mollie's first proper bike (think M used it all of 6 times and it's been in Ma and Pa's loft for 3 years!) and Mollie's old Nintendo DS Lite. Before I get shot down in flames for giving a 3 year old a DS Lite, can I just explain that she will be rationed and there will only be age approprate games. Thank you!

Will save you all some party food and cake!

Georgie Hope Libby has a fab birthday - sounds like a fun party you've got lined up for her, hope you don't wear yourself out with all those people to look after! Thanks for the cake btw Look forward to seeing your friend on the thread too.
Teehee We're going over to MIL's tomorrow as it was her birthday yesterday so that will be nice. No raucous party like at Georgie's though but Elise will get to see her cousin and step-cousins along with her auntie and nanny Good luck with the floor sanding - it will look nice when it's finished
Bella I've been lucky in that I've been able to express quite a lot, although not until bf was established at about 6 weeks. I've got a Medela swing pump which is great. I agree with what Fruity and Georgie have said - Elise was topped up with formula for the first 6 weeks as I just couldn't satisfy her hunger. She's had a bit of a feeding frenzy over the past couple of days and I've sat feeding her in the evenings for 1.5-2 hours. Tonight seems better. Out of 7 of us in my NCT group only 3 are still bf. It's a very personal decision - try with an open mind but don't beat yourself up if it doesn't work out. The early days are hard but it is worth it. Fortunately Elise was very good and we've had no problems with latching on etc and she's happy switching from breast to bottle, which isn't always the case either. There's plenty of help on MN and the NCT also has bf counsellors.
Sparkly Sounds as though you've had a lovely day
Emmsy Good to see you! Glad Amy's poo has settled down (oh the glamour of my conversations these days!), hopefully Elise will soon. Sorry to hear about the colic though Fortunately I don't think Elise has had that and the screaming fits we were having last week have calmed down. They didn't last very long either, I do feel for parents who have a baby who screams for hours and they can't do anything to comfort it. One of the girls on my PN thread has had to deal with that and really seems to be going through the mill Seems it's due to reflux but the usual stuff (infant gaviscon) didn't work.
Fruity Not sure I'd be able to tell the difference between Blue-Ray and DVD either! Fortunately DH isn't too bothered about having the latest gadgets. He's happiest when he's cooking or poring over cookery books
Hi to everybody else and have a lovely weekend.

Evening all! I feel like I?ve been away for aaaageeeeees! I guess that?s what travelling 130 miles a day does for you (I was wrong when I said 110 miles? ) Apologies in advance if I don?t manage to catch up with everything, have resorted to cutting and pasting from a word doc as it is!

Bella at the alternative therapies, you sound like the total opposite of me! I?m not remotely ?alternative? ? no joss sticks in this house, and am a big fan of waxing ? but I?m a sucker for all the alternative therapy stuff. I love seeing my acupuncturist, I?ve even got DH converted (previously assumed impossible) and he now raves about the cranial osteopath he sees, reckons she?s amaaaaazing? maybe I should meet her??!?! (in case she?s gorgeous ) Fair enough if it?s not for you, but we?ve both been amazed by the results we?ve seen. It?s totally changed my cycle for one thing, I?d never ever had a 28 day cycle before, Thomas was conceived on day 25 which would have been a 39 day-er, the month I conceived this time would have been 28 days Glad the MS is going, mine eased up at about 10 weeks last time too.

Fruity at your friends!! I can?t imagine! Would be wonderful to wake up and realise you?d missed the 1st trimester!! Afraid I?m pretty rubbish at getting up too Although I only do max 2x 5min snoozes before I haul my arse out of bed CANNOT BELIEVE you?re 30 weeks btw!!!

Scully so glad to hear the ms is finally easing, seems like it?s been a long time for you, bet it feels like a long time from where you?re sitting anyway! I think my DH will be pretty good if I?m ever fortunate enough to ever have a baby ?properly?, but there are a few reasons why I?d like one:

1. from talking to friends it really sounds like luck with which mw you happen to get can play such a huge part in the birth you have. A good friend of mine is convinced she only ended up with an episiotomy and a big-horrible-forceps delivery because her mw was such a cow. At the ?11th hour? she came and had a huge go at her mum because they had too many pillows in their room!!! My friend got so upset/angry she released so much adrenaline her contractions stopped altogether and she ended up in theatre!
2. I learnt with Thomas that DH and I have different views about what my pain threshold is? They gave me a morphine injection and said it should work within 20minutes and to call them after that if I needed more. It honestly might as well have been saline for all the good it did. The 20mins felt like an eternity. I found out afterwards that was because DH made me wait 40 minutes just in case, so we "didn't have to bother them"?. So I?d like to know there?s someone there who will actually listen to me!
3. The bf help. I feel a bit like my mum will set me up to fail. She had a dreadful time trying to feed me and gave up within a day or so, certainly before she left the nursing home. She didn?t even attempt it with my sister because she was so traumatised by it? And I really don't want it to be that way for me. She?s already told me not everyone can do it, it?s not easy/that important etc etc, and I?d like someone to fight my corner on that one too
4. she says she brings cake

Sparkly glad you?ve managed a duvet-day, very important once in a while! A good friend of mine is a teacher, I gave her this pencil case for her birthday! (Am not mean, she really wanted it!) If you use the mn code you can get 10% off

Teehee duvet prison doesn?t sound like so much fun though? Have you tried fybogel? I used to get horrendous constipation (DH used to call me his little poo camel?) The things that helped were that and acidophilus (massively helped) Can you take it while you?re pg? How about pro-biotoc drinks? I know it?s different from constipation, but I figure anything?s worth a try! Really hope they bugger off soon! Big hugs. We?re not doing much this weekend, I have a TON of work to do. We?re seeing friends for dinner at theirs tomorrow night. Might take my strawberry jam with me in case I just end up with toast! Mind you, managed chinese tonight?!

Mollie I read the title of that thread you posted & couldn?t bring myself to read any more! I hope this weekend passes leaving something positive in its wake. I know how hard anniversaries are If there?s anything at all I can do, you know where I am. Sending much love xxx

Ei glad to hear you?re ok. How many books are there in the series? I started a trashy novel on the train yesterday. Finished it today. Bit too trashy methinks! Might go for a surf through amazon in a mo?

CriCri Hope you get good results from the cranial osteopath, as I said to Bella DH seems to think the sun shines out if his! Apparently there?s one near us who specialises in babies, who?s so good that he has a waiting list of babies who haven?t even been born yet!

Georgie good luck tomorrow! Will Libby know her presents are Mollie?s cast offs? Hope the ms esaes off for you for the party. Can imagine that definitely would NOT be a good combination!

MAMMOTH post! Sorry! to everyone else.

I'm still in bed Right. As there's no-one here to talk to I may as well go and attempt some breakfast... Only 2 more sleeps til the scan... I dreamed about it last night, dreamed that DH had done a scan at 6weeks and heard a hb () but hadn't told me... I was confused/furious! Least it wasn't a horrid dream! I've taken to referring to Bundle as "The Triplets" to try to freak DH out Doesn't seem to be working though... Would certainly freak me out! Mind you, when I was researching Nicolaides for Georgie I came across a woman who was pg with triplets but decided to have a "reduction" at 12 weeks (after 3 perfect nuchals ) so she was just pg with one NO IDEA how we'd cope with more than one, but I could never do that

ANYWAY. Enough of the rambling. Catch you all later

Hi ladies, just a quick post to say hi 10.50pm here, very late for me especially considering how crap I've been sleeping lately. But at least the m/s has settled right down this week now, just have to work on the tiredness so I can be 'blooming' Had a few friends around for a bbq tonight. Can't say I was that motivated about it but it turned out to be a lovely evening. They arrived a little late so I got to have a rest beforehand, and one of them has an 11yr old who played with the dd's all afternoon, she's so patient. So I have 2 very tired dd's now, sleeping away, having bounced on the trampoline for hours
Hope you're all having great weekends.

Can I just jump on in this thread and say a huge hello to heytheregeorgiegirl and say congratulations on your BFP and happy 3rd birthday to L, where has the time gone?

also hello and congratulations to cricri on the birth of her little girl and hello to anyone else from the mc threads

Afternoon

I've managed to clear some space in our room for Button so he doesn't have to sleep in the bottom drawer after all
Going to visit the labour ward on Saturday morning
I went to see the trainee Doula I was on about yesterday. She's really nice, let me have a look through some really good info about vbac's. Loads of stories about homebirths/vag births after 1/2/even 3 c-esctions! - really encouraging. She's also going to lend me her birth pool!
So scary, 10 weeks and counting from today
Not prepared at all! 10 weeks still seems like such a long time but at the rate the weeks seem to be flying by it'll be no time.

Lola and at the woman with the triplets. I can't imagine ever doing that but I suppose everyone is different.

Scully What good news that your m/s is going, really pleased for you
TeeHee How are you doing my lovely? Is the pain any better now you have rested for a few days? Does your dining room floor look good?
CriCri Sounds like the cranial osteopathy was a good move, I was interested to see your Mum does healing? I take it that's spiritual healing? Something I've found helpful in the last year. Do you have the knack for it too?
Fruity What goodies have you eaten this weekend Gutted that you have found room for Button I was just going to start getting our spare room ready
Georgie Hope the party went well yesterday, belated birthday wishes to Libby
Emmsy How are you and the family? Hope all is well ?

Kate I think your reasons for wanting a doula are very grounded especially number 4 All the luck in the world for your scan tomorrow (not that I think you'll need it)I'll be eagerly awaiting an update
EI How are you doing?

I take it everyone is having a lovely weekend as it's been quite quiet in here. I've had lots of fun with my nephew (10mths), got to feed, bath and put him to bed on Friday night and he came round to visit me today, SIL is now 17 wks pg so getting quite tired so I might be able to kidnap look after him more
I think it's helping to distract me too as I've been feeling quite positive this weekend

Hi ladies

Thanks for asking Mollie my dining room floor looks fabulous - DP is really in my good books. Dad put the shower in our bathroom too and I got some plants for it today so that is really coming together. Still 1001 things on my list but when isn't there.

Fruity Glad you have made some space, 10 weeks - scary!! I am also panicking about the time I have left and I'm sure it's gonna fly. Weird really as have wanted it to come quick now need more time!!

Kate Hope you had a lovely meal. Lots of luck for tomorrow - will it be 6 weeks. Thanks for the number as well - will call tomorrow as time got away from me. Actually think I'm a bit better today. Had a try with some natural remedies - witch hazel on a cotton wool pad - OMG the relief is amazing!! Just a tip if any of you suffer in future.

Sparkly Winning and nonsense - bet you DP went to work on Friday with a spring in his step!! Of course you won't obsess BTW I did help DP with some of his marking today and have learnt that my grammer is rubbish but the kids stories did have me in stitches!

Georgie Hope you have recovered from the party. Sounds great - a High School Musical Fest by the sounds of it. Troy is so dreamy!! (Oh god that is a bit inappropriate at my age)

Cricri Sounds like you have had a nice weekend too - must be great to have a healer on hand.

Ei I do hope you will be able to get your head out of the book long enough to BD at the right time this month! Or I guess you could just keep on reading !

Hello to anyone who I've missed.

hi ladies
jsut (another) quickie from me as i am officially worn out reading through what i have missed and i have now fried my brain
lola good luck for your scan tomorrow il be thinking of ou whilst i slack -off-- slog my guts out at work
howdy to everyone else
georgie i hope your DD2 had a nice birthday party. we had one yesterday for DDs birthday as she was 3 last thursday she starts big school nursery tomorrow morning aswell times flying by
i hope everyone else is doing well tonight
did anyone watch sunday night project?? the man boobs song was effin hilarious!! i think i may need to change my pants
teehee have you tried lavender oil for your piles? you can buy it from health shops like holland and barretts and put it neat onto a sanitary pad (one of the big dr whites mattress ones naturally) and stick it straight onto the 'affected area' and it is very soothing (even though it makes your chuff smell like an old ladies handbag) lavender is a natural antiseptic and has healing properties and brings down swelling so may be just the ticket for your sore bum if you havent tried it it may help and its safe to use during preg trust me sweetie i have felt the burn...
nowt happening here
xx ei xx
