Shiny new thread for us

The race is on for the first BFP!

Wowzers what an emotional day yesterday, have you all been at my hormones??? .
It is a unique thread and a very supportive one which we all love, so keep it up girls. I will be needing to hold all your hands very soon to help me PUSH.....well at least I hope it will be soon

Bloody typical I'm working from home today and have time to chat and there is nobody here !

My horrormones are all over the place today - not usual for this part of my cycle, but I feel permanently like a major sobfest is just around the corner

Have almost given up trying to work - might just curl up with a good book and hope my boss doesn't ring !

Ha! me 4ever and barbie must all be out for the day
jools afternoon lovely lady - your poor bod thank goodness it is the weekend and you can kick back and relax.

vjay cool beanz you are still here hope you are feeling a bit better.

I'm away for the weekend so if anything exciting happens can someone let me know

Im here jools to be honest was going to stay away after embarrassing myself yesterday!

I have spent most of the day sleeping, took the dog to the beach this morning and it wiped me out, going to friends for dinner in a minute and then back to work tomorrow....

Hope you are curled up enjoying a good book, im now addicted to jodie picot books, read two in the last two weeks, not keen on the haphazard writting style as first but now i want another one to read! Just finished slumdog millionaire, i think for one the film was better

Neeko sticks her head round the door and takes a deep breath of the recently cleared air

Think yesterday is just what we needed.

Jools think it's probably the aftermath of all that happened yesterday that will be impacting on your hormones. You've had a tough time over the past few months. Shout, scream and cry. It'll make you feel better and by next week you'll be ready to think about trying again. Have you questioned the doctor about the spotting specifically?

4ever hope your duvet day has been just what you needed. Don't ever about emotional wobbles on here. All ok in Emmsyland

Mermaid ever stoical and wise. What's your DS been up to this week? Can't be that much longer of the school hols left?

How is everyone today?

neeko whats the belly band for? is it like the ones from topshop to hold everything in place?

A lesson why a young girl should pay attention in biology....
Last night in the shower i felt my lower stomach was really really hard, freaked out and ran from the bathroom dripping wet and nearly slipped on the tiled floor and managed to flash my bits at the neighbours who just happened to be on the bolcony opposite i also scared the dog, who barked and drew even more attention to my nakedness....
Googled and realised what i was in fact feeling was my uterus!! Que me wishing that i paid more attention in class and that i knew where all the bits of the body was

So i can feel my uterus now, its weird!!! It feels like im carrying a bowling ball, which is dragging and pulling it down. Very uncomfortable but hopefully it signals that in a week or so it will be out of my pelvis and i will have a proper bump not a fake one filled with bacon sarnies!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend, mine is over for another week. I hate having one day off its the start of ramadan and everything is very quiet and surreal...

Morning girls!

Jools well done for being honest when you were nagged about having babies. People should really learn not to ask those sorts of questions unless you are their closest friend and likely to want to talk about it with them! Its driven me mad a work since getting married in October, everyone wants to nag me about having kids and the ins and out of how I manage my sex life when I have a husband who lives 90 miles away!

Barbie maybe you need to buy one of those pregnancy books to get obsessed about reading!

Neeko glad to hear you're making use of your bellyband and eating lots of yummy things.

No plans so far for my weekend. DH is at work till tuesday. MrsKate is asleep after nights.

I have good news!!!!! My DH got phoned the day before yesterday and told he might have to move areas out of his usual zone of hospitals at some point in the next few months possibly the first week of February (my due date). Cue major panic at what sort of silly place they could possibly send him next!! Got another phone call yesterday to say the move would definately be 6 months and maybe a year. Cue more stressing!!! Then another phonecall with the name of the hospital(that apparently is difficult to get to) panic panic panic!! Stress about more commuting and DH living further away for the 1st year of the babies life!! Then they actually said the name of the hospital. Its the one I work at!!! 2 miles from my house!! Yippee!!!!!!!!
My DH will actually be able to live in the same house as me for the first time in ages!!!!! and could probably walk to work if he wanted!

gg that fab news....

Oh and i have a baby book, read from front to back, and again.....and again....

My friends little boy who was 3 last week asked me how the baby gets out of his Mummy's tummy (his mum is 28 weeks pregnant). erm???? His mum just laughed and left me with the task of answering. . Any ideas girls???? I've volunteered to babysit when his mum goes into labour so really going to have to come up with an answer to satisfy a 3 year old who likes asking why!

gg have you got any growing pains???? did you have the bowling ball effect?

Barbie I've got a few aches and twinges in my belly. Had horrible pain last night after eating dinner late and going to bed before it was digested. TMI but the bowling ball thing is very obvious if you have an orgasm! I'm glad someone warned me else i'd have been extremely freaked! They never tell you your whole abdomen will spasm in a text book do they!!!

Oooh that is fab news indeed Gracie

Barbie - your shower panic made me laugh !

Well, the Osteopath told me I could go back to the gym and do some classes (not high impact), so I went back to one of my favourites this morning - legs, bums, tums followed by spinning, followed by a few weights. Phew !! Doing spinning after a month's break was HARD (but fun !) Think I will pay for all this with achey muscles tomorrow but at least the back held out. I'll go for a swim tomorrow - trying not to do too much gym work too soon and make it "go" again.

Horrormones still out of control - am in tears at the slightest thing and feel like I'm fighting it back all the time. I had more bleeding this morning aswell - quite unusual and unexpected since AF finished on Thursday. Also had a few abdominal pains when doing crunches etc - not sure what is going on, but it is not normal for my clockwork cycle.

Sun is out here. I've done some cleaning (cat hair gets everywhere) - just another hour or so to do, then I'll grab a shower and chill in the garden for the rest of the day.

barbie lol at your shower escapades

gracie that is brilliant news for you and your dh, the timing is perfect.

jools don't hold in the tears let them out, you'll feel so much better. Your body does seem to be playing tricks on you at the moment, it all sounds very hormonal.

Well 4 days to go, I've had buckets of raspberry leaf tea, a pineapple, a curry, a walk, cleaned the house so there's just sex left, but there's no way we can do that, I'm far too big and my spd won't allow it. I think all these bloody 'midwife' tales are rubbish

Is there anybody there?

I'm lurking vjay....

and now you dont seem to be here...its ok, I wont take it personally!

Still here, in-between mopping floors

I'm here, was just putting my ironing away, so glam I know

sabs you only have 5 weeks to go now, am I right? At this rate you could go before me

jools your mopping floors is even more glam than my ironing

I'm hanging washing out - very glam!

That is so glam gracie

I'm going to make some cornish pasties now, someone was doing that on here the other week when I was poorly, and now I'm better I can make them and then eat them, yum!

it was me vjay!!!! i love em....good old west country girl @ heart.

We are plaqued by giant lizards im used to the baby ones now but the last two days has revealed much larger ones and im scared!

Lizards, they give me the willies, they're like mini dinosaurs aren't they.

I've made 2 batches of cornish pasties and I'm going to freeze one lot, I also made some jam tarts with the left over pastry, and there is enough meat and veg mix for a stew for tomorrow, how organised is that , so I thank you barbie for talking about cornish pasties last week, cos my boys are now fed for the next 2 days

Just having a GG style pace around the house - I don't think curry & early pregnancy mix.

Vjay Sounds like you are nesting - perhaps you will be too busy pushing & panting tomorrow to make a stew?

Vjay Sounds like you are nesting - perhaps you will be too busy pushing & panting tomorrow to make a stew? If all else fails keep bouncing on that ball!

Barbie are you surviving ramadan? What about pregnant Muslims, do they have to fast too? Maybe Sabs could answer that question. Talking of which, are you enjoying your maternity leave?

GG So pleased to hear you & dh will be reunited at long last. Nothing to do now but enjoy the rest of your pregnancy! Why don't you say to the three year old that the baby comes out of his Mummies belly button & then afterwards the belly button gets tied up again with special string? I'm going to re-do the list in a minute as you still appear to have a leg in each of the small & big pants & that's not right for a lady in your condition!

Jools how are your legs bum & tum today? Also has your spotting stopped? Might be worth asking the doctor for day 21 blood tests to check your hormone levels.

Neeko have you been wearing your belly band? They are good for that interim period when you are not quite big enough for maternity clothes but I bet that stage won't last long second time around!

Waves to Cupcake & Moon & anyone else still lurking.
