Hoping everyone is okay, including poorly DCs. Not too sure HC about defrosting the wine for a tipple! Maybe you could make ice lollies with it?

I'm feeling a bit sick at the mo have been eating when feeling sick which has done the trick but just couldn't be bothered to make tea tonight so now hungry and nauseous. Bit upset DH isn't around at the mo.

Smiles all round

HumphreysCorner · 21/01/2009 08:07

On a downer this morning as temp has dropped so fear AF will arrive tomorrow as planned. It will be a cruel blow but I shouldn't have tested early. Had some watery CM yesterday which isn't a good sign. Ho hum!

Anyway, will be thinking of you today Willmouse.

Laters.

HC but really hope you are wrong! I will keep everything crossed for you.

MJIM would you believe the website has crashed - I just keep getting a message saying the bandwidth limit has exceeded (too many users I think). Am panicking as I have become reliant on the website to keep my eating in check!! As soon as it is sorted I will link it for you.

PCH my tip for sickness is Foxes Glacier mints - I couldn't have got through my pg without those!! I carried them everywhere and when I felt the nausea was really bad, I sucked one of those and it definitely eased it! I am still finding the odd one now in strange places as I literally put them in every bag/pocket etc during those first few weeks

Right, Sam has done a lovely pressie for me in his nappy so must go and change him then I am going to do an exercise DVD to shift this flab!!

juanitad · 21/01/2009 09:29

CE - good to see you back! I also found myself v tired and a bit stressed after 30 weeks, so I gave up this thread and my antenatal one, I just couldn't keep up with either of them! And like you, we got the OFSTED call 3 weeks before my maternity leave, talk about bad timing!! I was so worried about it, but in the end it was fine and to be honest it felt good going on mat leave knowing Ofsted had been and gone and that they wouldn't be seeing a supply teacher do my classes, it felt like all the loose ends had been tied up. Ofsteds are much better now than they used to be - they are only in for 2 days. Only 1 of my lessons was observed, and only for half an hour. So just try not to worry about it too much, it'll be over soon and then you'll feel loads better and you'll really be able to begin the countdown to mat leave!! What date do you finish?

P's jabs weren't too bad in the end, although he did have a couple of hours screaming before bed time last night.

HC - really hope it's not AF arriving, I don't really understand temps, but could there be any other reason for a dip?

Morning ladies

HC - am keeping everything crossed for you.

Have just had scan at EPU - saw the sac and a heartbeat , however have to go back in 2 weeks as she measured me to be less than 5 weeks pg . Now, my cycles are long, but af was last on 28.11.08 and we last bd'd on 21.12.08 (4+3 weeks ago) (pg puts me off a bit!!) so can this be true? Happy to see the hearbeat, but now worried it's too small.

Bellie · 21/01/2009 11:12

Detox, I am sure that everything is going to be fine - the heartbeat is the most important thing at this stage.

HC - keeping my fingers crossed for you - have never done temping, so can there be another reason for it?

CE - glad to see you back on here (as another one that lost the ability to mn for a while) and sorry that ofstead have got you at the worst possible timing.

Dawni - about the car - hope not too expensive!

Ceebee - well done on the weight loss - I may be joining you and Mjim on the site once beanie has arrived!!

Off to do the ironing to make sure that I keep on top of it all.

HC hope all is OK.
Detox-heartbeat is a really good sign surely. Hope all goes well in two weeks.
Dawni really really hope this is your month.
MJIM never been one for dieting myself, but hope you reach your target weight. BUT you are still breastfeeding so no over-doing it!
Willmouse-hope the procedure is OK today. When TTC I would also go with the every other day approach. Not sure about the ovulation predictors-I have been pregnant 5 times (though obviously twice it didn't work out) and sometimes have used them, sometimes have not. It hasn't made any difference to how quickly I got pregnant.
CE hope OFSTED OK.
Juanitad hope jabs were all right too.

Hi to everyone else.
We are fine-I am just very busy getting used to juggling three children.Really hope the thread isn't still making people feel down with too much baby/pregnancy talk.

Hooray, shiny new thread. Thank you.

Go Willmouse! PMSL at 'fannying around'.

Much like CE getting a tad too whacked to keep up (not complaining mind) - so sorry! . Reading several times/week though.
This thread is/has been wonderful for my mental health and I'll be damned to give it up.

Hi all

Cramping is horrendous but I've just done another PG test and it is much brighter than the one on Monday but I will just have to wait until tomorrow to see if AF arrives and also see what my temp is. Symptoms don't seem as prominent so I don't know what to think. Hate the waiting. Was distraught this morning and DH upset at pending arrival of AF and ended up telling my mum as was crying.

detox-hope you aren't worrying as scan dates do vary sometimes with dates.

Willmouse-how did it go?

Hope everyone else is OK.

Found you all! Glad to hear you are all well and that HC has her BFP. I am thrilled for you. I am still umming and arring about next cycle. DS was 4 yesterday and I feel terribly sad and happy at the same time, as he may be my only baby and it is all going so fast now.

I think I also missed a page, I am sure it will be fine HC - I had horrendous cramping with my PG. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Dawni · 21/01/2009 20:11

HC Been worried about you, try not to worry, it may be nothing, at least the test was brighter, thats got to be a good sign hun xx

Been reading that ovualtion can take place during AF...got to thinking about this coz i have an awful feeling its been, just body signals !! Hope i am megga wrong

Much love

D xx

DawnAS · 21/01/2009 20:11

Hi All,

HC, how are you feeling now hun? I hope that everything is Ok. I remember having really bad cramping right at the beginning of this PG when I first found out. I didn't worry too much because I didn't get cramping with AF anyway, so you may well be Ok and the little bean is just getting comfy and getting squashed in nicely. I'm sure that the PG test wouldn't have been as bright if there was a problem... Keeping everything crossed for you hun.

CE, bump is fantastic hun!! I'm going to get DH to take some pics of mine. 20 weeks today, so half way there! I've got my scan next week when I'll be just over 21 weeks so hoping that our little girl smiles for the camera - !!

Detox, I'm sure everything is fine if you saw the heartbeat, keeping everything crossed for you hun.

Sorry I haven't been able to post to everyone. Work is horrendous and I'm having to do more than 12 hours a day at the moment to cover sickness.

I hope that everyone one is OK and that those TTCing are still feeling positive!! Good luck with getting back on the horse Wilmouse!!

HC - praying for you that all is fine...could the cramps be implantation?? I know you're experienced at this...but I really really want this to be it for you. Sending hugs!!!

Big waves to everyone, not managing to keep up properly at the moment. But hugs all around!

Dawn - sorry hun, having trouble time managing at the mo. Will be in touch soon!!!

Had some crap crap news over the past few weeks, not wanted to say anything til now, but...my friend's baby was born premature...it's not gone well. Baby in ICU, heart and lungs detoriatorating and they have to turn off the support system tomorrow or Friday. Saw her last weekend and was asked to be godmother. It's an awful awful situation and I am very upset.

Sorry to bring the thread down...but I just know you guys will understand...I am just trying my hardest to be there for my friends.

Bluestar x

DawnAS · 21/01/2009 20:23

Oh Bluestar, I'm so sorry hun, that is just the most awful awful thing. My thoughts are with you and your friend.

You know where we are and where I am if you need to rant and rave....
