Hi everyone,
Sorry been busy the last few days as dh has had a few days off so we've been doing all that nice family stuff especially while the weather has been nice. No news from me really - CD9 today so are gearing up for the shag fest. We are off tomorrow to a country hotel for a couple of days with ds - its one of these hotels that is meant to be super child friendly. They have a nice pay barn, kids can use the pool and that sort of thing. It isn't one of these posh places where kids are tolerated rather than welcomed. Really looking forward to it actually. Slightly annoyingly I think our peak bd time will be at the beginning next week when dh goes back to work but it won't hurt to get a few practice sessions in!
Jools sounds you might have tonsilitus or something. There have been some nasty throat infections doing the rounds. Hope you feel better soon and that you can recommence the ttc routine!
Wahtsfortea sorry to see AF got you too. Good luck with the tests.
Kitty Jesus that sounds like a needlefest of the most serious magnitude. You are very brave. I remember when I was pg with ds and my ham fisted midwfife made a terrible attempt at taking blood for some test or other and then had the cheek to say I had uncooperative veins! She left huge bruises on my arms yet when I went to the hospital phlebotonist (is that how you spell it?) I barely felt the needle go in and it was done in about 5 seconds. I actually complained about my midwide a few months later as she was completely horrid.
Yellow how are you feeling? The appointment sounded productive but I can sort of see where you're coming from in terms of wishing you didn't need said appointment. Lets hope you do what Funtime did and get a BFP as soon as they start getting a third party opinion!
iggy hope you had a restful bank holiday and that you are feeling a bit more positive. Having said that you have every right to more darker moments so don't feel that you "should" be feeling better necessarily. As someone else said it isn't a straight line of recovery, its 2 steps forward and 1 step back. My husband came to Tumbletots with me and ds earlier and understood why I can feel so crap at times - half the mums there seem to be sporting a bump or a new born in a sling as they lead their toddler round. And people have been known to ask me when I am planning my second. I think next time I will actually reply that I have miscarried recently. They might think twice before asking again.
Broodzilla sorry to hear you are still feeling rough. My ms lasted up to about 16 weeks and if my memory serves me well you aren't quite that far on yet. Hang in there it does get better I promise. I remember weeping at how shit I felt and how guilty I then felt for not being happy all the time when I had everything to be happy for. I didn't "do" pregnancy very well up until that 16 week mark then it all started to get better. I didn't "blossom" until the thir trimester when although I was pretty large I felt great. My skin and hair looked really good and it all fell into place. Ds must have felt the same way because he didn't want to shift but we won't go into that now.
God this is a mega post. Have a lovely rest of the week everyone xx
