sorry girls looks like it was a false alarm!

Went to bed about 10ish still with some lower back ache, but thought I would try and get some rest - and woke up at 7 this morning with no pain or anything! Best nights sleep I have had for 9 months and I still feel knackered!!

Dawni · 01/02/2009 10:21

Goood morning ladies

Bellie Better luck next time

Ive woke with usual AF pains, FF have me at 3 DPO so only time will tell, i thought it was maybe 5 but never mind, at least ive no pink discharge yet !!!

Need food, back later

BlueStar2009 · 01/02/2009 10:45

Morning all,

Bellie - hope things get going soon!!!

Fingers crossed it's not AF, Dawni.

Yay for the CB PG test, HC! So happy you can start to relax now

Having a tearful morning...despite being pleased about not being PG this month, I dreamt I was PG last night...woke up and of course I wasn't. Having a 'I hate the world and it's not fair' morning. Got to try not to be ridiculous as our friends who lost their baby are with us!

Just needed to come and vent! Cos no one else really understands...

HumphreysCorner · 01/02/2009 11:11

Soon, very soon Bellie.

Dawni-I see that FF has you OVing on Thursday. It does need a few charts to gather info and we do need to see the next few days temps. FF does alter OV day sometimes depending on future temps.

Bluestar-how is your friend. I am sorry you had 'that dream'. Had it many times before.

Off to my mum and dad's for a post Christmas Dinner later. Feel very nauseous though but don't want to give the game away to my bro and SIL.

Love to all!

Hi all

Popping on quickly here - DS's chicken pox has been really bad. He has them in his nose, ears, eyes, hair, groin and bottom. Poor lad seems a bit better today so I hope we will be over the worse by tomorrow. Then all I have to do is wait for DS2 to catch it!

Dawni - glad you are feeling better

Bellie - hope your beanie arrives soon.

HC - good luck not looking green in front of family

Hi to everyone else esp MJIM - I'm sure Naomi is perfect and as long as she is happy I really wouldn't worry!

Oh willmouse, I am sorry that he is suffering so badly, wishing that he gets better soon, and that ds2 doesn't get it!

HC - hope you are enjoying your lunch

My parents are arriving soon as we have all decided that it is better for them to be here than having to travel (one and a half hours) in the snow that is forecast!

got lower back pain again but nothing major at the moment!

LuckySalem · 01/02/2009 17:03

Hi all,

Can I join in? Me and DP are (unactively) trying for DC2.
Dd is now 1 year old and we dont want a huge gap. We dont want the same birthday for them so wont be trying in April but any other month is good enough for us.

Not sure what else to tell you really. You need to help me with certain wording. lol. Looks like my AF is finishing today so is that day one of my cycle or is it day 4?

Anyways... hope to get to know you all better!!

ChocolateEclair · 01/02/2009 17:24

Hi everyone!

You lot talking about Indian/Chinese have tempted me so I am dropping a you quick post while DP is out picking up my spring rolls/sweetnsour/prawn crackers! I feel very greedy but no doubt will only be able to eat about 1/4 of it!

Bump is very uncomfortable today and have hardly slept. Have had a VERY lazy day! Think it is due to baby's head and limbs being so high up in my ribs - I can hardly breathe!

We have had a few flakes of snow but expecting more tomorrow. (Whispers...another snow day off school would be lovely! lol!)
Bellie - do you have far to get to hospital if labour does start in the night???

BSL - hope your difficult weekend has been ok. I too used to have "the dream" and it is awful when you wake up and realise.....

willmouse - your poor ds1, fingers crossed for ds2.

So is everyone on the 2ww now then?????? OOOO very exciting!

Welcome to LuckySalem - please stick around! We need mroe ttc-ers to keep this thread going as we have been extremely successful and have loads of pg ladies!

MJIM - I read your other thread and thought you got some good advice! How is it going? Can she be persuaded to take more milk?

HC - xmas dinner! Yum yum!

detoxdiva · 01/02/2009 17:28

Luckysalem - welcome, hope this thread is lucky for you. You count the first day of AF as CD (cycle day) 1 - so you are on CD4 now by the sounds of it.

Hello to everyone else - had a mega lunch out today, so feel very full and very tired The extreme tiredness is the only symptom so far - goodness knows how I will get through work tomorrow afternoon as I have been asleep every afternoon since Fri!!

Not long now Bellie...

LuckySalem · 01/02/2009 17:30

Thanks for the welcome choc & detox.
I'm really looking forward to this TTC lark as I never actually TTC'd with DD she just appeared

So CD4 it is then. ooh i'm so excited, I've never taken notice of my AFs before so dont know how long a cycle I have or anything - feel like a complete newbie even with DD

HumphreysCorner · 01/02/2009 21:25

Hello and welcome LuckySalem. Wishing you lots of luck.

Am stuffed and think I managed to fool everyone apart from mum and dad as they know. Mum kept dropping me in it though so I'm sure DH must know I've told her. Just don't want him telling his mum just yet.

Must get the girls to bed.

CE - I am 20 mins away if i do go into labour tonight, but the midwife did say if the snow was really bad to call an ambulance as at least we get stuck I would have paramedics there not just dh!

Feel happier that mum and dad are here as there is now about 10cm of snow on the ground and it is still falling

welcome to luckysalem - I was like you as dd just arrived, but we had to work for this beanie! Good luck and hope that you enjoy being with us!

daisyj · 02/02/2009 08:22

Sitting here in bed, as trapped in Lewisham ? no buses or trains this morning, and already had texts from two colleagues to say they can?t get in either. It?s been 4 pages since I had a chance to post, so stand by for an epic!

CE ? glad OFSTED went well ? that must be a weight off your mind ? it's really good that you can leave on a high. Interesting what you say about thinking the baby is a stubborn little boy ? I feel exactly the same about Bo. He is so active, I sometimes feel as though I?m engaged in a battle of wills ? I don?t feel negative about it, just that it might be something of a combative relationship! Also interesting about plans if the baby stays breech. My MW told me they don?t make any plans until 36 weeks, if the baby hasn?t turned by then. I have 32-week check with her tomorrow, so will see what she says then. Can?t remember whether I posted this here or not, but the midwife who does our antenatal classes told us that moxibustion by an acupuncturist has a very high success rate in turning babies, if you?re inteterested.

Bluestar ? hope your weekend with your friends went OK ? it?s good that they can be with you and feel safe to be themselves. for you feeling sad. I?m guessing we?ve all that ?that dream?, and it?s heart-wrenching.

Dawni ? lol about the dog and the relaxation CD. And try not to fret ? surely your AF feelings might be implantation cramps? And OUCH with the bath oil! Am keeping fingers and everything else firmly crossed for you.

HC ? glad you got your money back from the straighteners ? if he didn?t want bad feedback he shouldn?t have been a rubbish seller! Great news re pg symptoms and CB test.

MJIM ? so sorry you?re still worried about Naomi?s weight. Sounds like you?re getting some excellent advice, though. We have tiny dainty babies in our family, but they are all really robust! I?m sure I?ll worry just like you if Bo is slow to put on weight, though.

Bellie ? [excited emoticon] ? can?t wait for the next bonkers baby . Not long now...

Dawn ? fab scan news, hon, love the pic. So excited for you ? it?s such a special time .

Willmouse and Ceebee ? sorry about spots ? poor little mites ? hope all better soon. Having chicken pox when I was four is one of my most vivid childhood memories ? I think I quite liked all the attention . I have a couple of little scars, but they are just small dips in the skin, ceebee, and not unsightly, so don?t worry.

Welcome to LuckySalem ? this is indeed a lucky thread, so stick around .

All fine here ? Bo was insanely active yesterday, even for him ? I thought he was going to break out! Seriously, though, is there any reason to worry about too much activity? if that?s a stupid question?

Right, off to have some porridge with honey - hopefully it'll provide some internal central heating in our rather cold flat...

Dawni · 02/02/2009 09:01

Good morning ladies, seems like most of us will be snowed in, DS has'nt gone to school. buses are'nt running, DH got to work but very slidy !!

Still got on/off pains, had stabbing pains in left side yesterday when ironing, hope something is happening !!!

Hope all children with spots are feeling better now and no-one else gets it !

Hello and welcome to Luckysalem Im TTC #2....DS came before we even tried !!!

Daisyj Get yoyrself a warm jumper on xx

Catch ya's later

pureeandpearls · 02/02/2009 09:16

Morning all-

can I join you? TTC number 2 and thought I'd look around fro some moral support Plus, I really like your thread title!!

HumphreysCorner · 02/02/2009 09:37

Good morning ladeezs

A big hello and welcome to pureeandpearls and wishing you lots of luck. This is a brilliant supportive thread and that is why everyone stays even when their babies arrive.

Schools open as normal here much to DD1's disappointment. We only have a bit of snow.

daisyj-DD1 was a mad kicker, just means you might have a lively child.

Must go and light a fire but will check back later for any Bellie news.

Oh, must eat something to help the nausea but am not complaining at all.

Big wave to all!

HI all

Hello to PureeandPearls and LuckySalem!! I am ttc no3 and Dawni is ttc no2 (I think) we are both on here lots so there is alot of chat on this thread!

DS1 seems a bit better today but when I phoned school was told he needed a week of and that the spots have to crust over and then the scabs drop off I am off to Tesco in a min to get some emergency supplies and tem million craft kits to see us through the week. Heavy snow is forecast for later on in the day here.

HC - well done for fooling the rellies!

CE - hope beanine has calmed down!

Dawni - well done on the positive thoughts!

Bellie - hope you don't get stuck! Any news today???? Are your parents just staying with you now until the snow subsides? Are you being induced on Thursday (sorry I have forgotten )

For some daft reason I am feeling quite positive as well. DH is convinced I am pg because I have eaten so much this weekend - personally I think it is because I am so greedy!

CD23 here - AF hopefully not due on Sunday!

ChocolateEclair · 02/02/2009 10:10

welcome to puree and pearls! (great name!)

We have lopads of snow so school is closed .... yippee!!!!!!!!!!

DP took me in just to pick up some marking...that's what I am doing honest!
