iggy I'll read anything too! The guys in my book group even convinced me to read some science-fiction...Dune by Frank Herbert.. didn't enjoy that much though. Ooh enjoy the bookshop; I could live in one of those!

Hi All,

I hope your all ok, I just thought I'd pop in to say hello and see how everyone is getting on.

MrsKate Congratulations on your BFP!

I have been really suffering for a while but not going to moan about it, just grateful I'm feeling something. I'm 11 weeks today and jelly bean is still going strong, dr even found a heartbeat with a doppler on monday I have my 12 week scan next Friday and terrified, thats when I found out I mc last time, fingers crossed.

Just thought I'd add my due date.

hi becks im just two days behind you! By the way you said on the list you got your bfp in feb next year im sure it should read a day in july good luck for scan mine is a week on sunday...fingers crossed for us both

curly any news

kate please dont worry...i had a week off at 5 weeks due to the worse back pain ever....

Hi becks that's so great you heard the heartbeat with a doppler this week Hope the next week flies by til your 12 week scan.

barbie, curly's scan isn't until 4.10pm so she has a bit of a wait bless her

cupcake thanks for the time of when curlys scan is happening, ive spent all morning at working lurking for news!

Hi all.

Barbie Hope you're feeling a bit better now. at the fact that you can demand foot massages at work. I've not been complaining much because I don't really get strong symptoms when pg (Which is a bit of a worry after a mc) other than bigger boobs, sore nipples and a very slight wave of nausea every now and again. I was advised after my MC to get in touch with the EPU at 7 weekas and they'd scan me at 8 and not to bother with my midwife before then so still ages to go I'd obviously contact them earlier if I had any bleeding, but (touch wood) none so far. By the way you're more than a quarter of the way there (and I'm an eighth) that sounds much better than 10 weeks.

Gracie Hope the new job is going well and the day is flying past.

Iggy Your posts make you sound so important.

MrsKate Glad you're signed off. Hope DH is better soon.

Cupcake What does your chart say now? Are you officially on the 2ww or still BD everyday. It was the 7 days in a row that worked for us!

Hi to everyone else. Just a thought, regardless of what size of pants we're in, we're all one day closer to holding our babies today

oops. also meant to say I doubt if I'll get back on til after DD is in bed tonight. Can someone text me Curly's news so I'll not be a bad ummy and put her to bed early?

Just off for my lunch but quick hello

Neeko I think I'm on the 2ww now, finally!! Had some ov pains yesterday, and a rise this morning. We've BD'd day 6, 10, 11, then 13-19! So let's hope that does the trick! Think we might keep going for a couple of days though anyway- I don't want to take any chances and we are quite enjoying ourselves

Ok I'm being a bit of a loser and eating my lunch at my desk as I am friendless...
By the way barbie I've been craving a cornish pasty all day cos of you! And I only have boring salad to eat for lunch

Just noticed you copied an older list becks looks like we're playing a game of 'how many times can we put the list on this page?'
Ooh you, curly, barbie and gracie are really close together, lots of lovely February babies

Sorry - self-absorbed rant coming up. please just skip this if you're not in the mood for downbeat. I just need to have a little vent.

AF is here with a vengance - really painful cramps, v heavy bleeding and lots of clots. Normally AF is v light with no PMT/cramps etc (feel free to hate me for that )In fact the only time AF has been like this is when I've been MCing. So I am thinking very focusedly that this is just a consequence of the hormone hell of the last 9 months. It is. Definitely. I can not be having another CP. Definitely not.

pg ladies do not read this. seriously. don't On top of that one of my team has asked for leave to go to a funeral for her cousin's baby. She was born 3 months premature and died after only 45 minutes on this earth. my team member is really cut up about it, and after a heart to heart ended up telling her about the los I've lost. just feel so awful for her cousin to have to suffer that, and now I'm about letting the cat out of the bag about why I've been disappearing off the docs so much this year.

and just to round things off one of the shops I was in at lunchtime was playing the song I picked out for my funeral when I was really ill. I haven't heard it since then and it's really thrown me back to some very dark times.

Thank's for listening ladies - I actually feel much better just for being able to post about it. Will be back and bright and chipper again tomorrow

YAY!!!! Have just heard from Curly and she says the scan was great and she's 12 weeks today

(and hoping, so sorry everything is crap love have a massive hug.)

for curly!

hoping hope you are feeling better now, chocolate and a dvd is the order of the day for you....

cupcake sorry for making you want pasty...today ive been craving a bacon sandwich, but not one that i make myself

Hello just time for a quick message as having some busy days off-will be quite relaxing to be at work at weekend at this rate!

Barbie- mmm bacon sandwich sounds good

Curly- so pleased for you

Hoping- so sorry to hear you are having a bad time hope you get through it soon will always be here for you x semding a vrey large hug your way virtual stylee!

Gracie- hope 1st day went ok

Cupcake- hooray for 2ww with the luck on this thread this could be your month.

Better dash got a huge pile of ironing to do - have no uniforms left to wear and have lost my book where I had written some more weeks off duty cant re write it as had only copy of what people had requested those weeks got my fingers crossed it will be in my work locker or I will be very unpopular

lots of love xxxxx

Evening all! I survived my first day at work. Started at 7:30am and the matron sent me home at 1:30pm. It wasn't so bad after all, definitely not worth losing sleep over last night. I've been at my mum's all afternoon.

Thank you Cupcake (and Curly) for updating me about Curly's scan. Lovely news!

I'm sorry you're having a crap day Hoping, will a group hug help?

Good to see you again Becks.

Waves to Barbie, Bakingqueen, mrskate, mermaid, jools, MLS, neeko and Iggy.

That was going to be a longer post but just had a phonecall and now got to go round and visit my lovely in laws.

Hiya and a huge congrats to curly for a fab scan

gracie so glad your first day back was ok, what a relief.

hoping hope you are feeling a little better now, MN is great for venting and making us feel better.

I've been sorting out all our paperwork today, is that a nesting sign? Put it this way with all the shredding I did I could've made a huge nest anyway

Curly YEAH! (again) for a healthy scan. So happy for you. Won't be long til your medium pants are stretched to bursting point

Vjay Definite nesting. I cleaned like a maniac with DD. Can't see me feeling that need again

Gracie Really glad it went well. Did you see the news on pg women swine flu advice? Apparently pg women have to have priority for vaccination because highest risk group. Freaked me out!

Hoping Really sorry you've been so blue today but it will have helped to share at work. Sometimes having to constantly put a face on it make the stress harder. Take care.

Bakingqueen Hope your ironing is done and you have your feet up.

I'm just waiting on DD dropping off then I'm going for a pampering bath with a Fab lolly

Hi all, hope everyone is well.

First of all YAY to curly again! so happy things are ok!

vjay i have a ton of paperwork to do as well, which im putting off until I start my maternity leave. 9 working days to go!

gracie good for you for surviving work! I'm working from home the next two days which I am very happy about. 45-60 mins of commuting each way is making me more tired each day

hoping sorry to hear youre having a crap day, but feel free to talk about it on here. We're here to listen. So sad about what happened to your colleagues cousin

cupcake nothing wrong with having lunch at your desk sometimes! Good luck for the 2ww!

becks nice to hear from you. I'm 31 weeks and still get so excited when I hear bubba's heartbeat on the doppler

iggy hows jury service going? My mum just finished a 2 weeks stint today. I did it as well in January and it was during jury service that I found out I was pregnant with this bubba

kate hope your back is not causing too much pain

barbie I'm of free treatments too! But you deserve to be pampered!

moon ive gone from 32dd to 38dd and my bra's still feel tight I need to get measured again. The first thing I do when I get home is take my bra off!

iggy a book I would recommend is The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffennegger. The film is coming out soon with Eric Bana and Rachael McAdams

budda at your name change but if I offended anyone by pointing it out especially blue Thanks for the book recommendation btw

Flu is completely gone, not feeling so hot and back is a bit bearable, but now have nausea and loss of appetite again a la first trimester. What's that all about! But im not going to complain now...

sabs waves to baking 4ever jools mermaid and anyone else ive missed

So over the moon for you Curly, its been a long road getting here but here you are. Welcome to bigpantsville, come on in the waters lovely and warm .

Hoping - so reading your post. You have had to go through so much (no-one should ever have to pick their own fneral song under the age of 80...) and still function, please spoil yourself with something nice this weekend. Hopefully TEW will be away by then or at least on her way out.

Barbie - so with you on craving food as long as someone else makes it! DH rustles me up a bacon sarnie with brown sauce every Saturday . Still waiting on barbie baby scan photo being uploaded

Neeko - hmm, bath and lolly combo, never tried that one . Does the heat not cuase lolly to melt before you can suck it all ?

Gracie - welcome to office life! wish I was let away at lunchtime . I'm totally knackered tonight, Wedneday's are the worst tiredness wise, too long since weekend and not near enough next one. Off tomorrow though for some pj slumming with DS .

Baking - hope you find your book!

Vjay lol at your nest size shredding pile. Just hope your DS's birth certificate didn't get caught up in your frenzy .

Right, I'm off to bed, feelng very old tonight - my get up and go has got up and gone.

Congrats again Curly - its just the best news xxxx

x-post sabs! Glad to hear your flu is gone and only 9 days more at work - lucky lady .

I love, love loved 'The Time Travellers Wife' and saw trailer for film last night, looks fantastic and I fancy Eric Bana so good all round .

Hope you enjoy the book. I gave my well thumbed 'Baby Whisperer' copy to colleague today, she's due week after you.

Logging off now x

sweet dreams blue xxxx

btw very happy to find another TTTW fan. Am sooo excited about the film too...but I hear they have made it quite disney-fied

Oooh yay to Time Traveler's Wife...the friends I have recommended it to have all hated me cos it made them cry so much Really looking forward to the film though wondering how they will do it as it's so complicated!

Gracie gld your first day was better than you anticipated

Oooh Sabs 31 weeks! So exciting! And yay that you found out on jury service! Let's hope that's a good sign for iggy and we'll both get the babydust this month actually iggy, as I'm gonna have to wait til about day 33 to test we could probably arrange another testing party!

Hoping sorry my comment was brief to you earlier but wanted to say- please don't torture yourself thinking about CPs. We have had all sorts of weirdness with cycles on this thread (to name a few, barbie's AF going awol, MLS's day 21 bleeds, Neeko's 7 week cycle, Moon's strange bleeding the other day...) unfortunately mc just messes with it all and I'm sure it's just your body settling down... hope tomorrow is a little brighter for you.

Still grinning for Curly- it was the first thing I told dh when I got home, haha!

Thanks for all the handholding today and for all the posts and texts. I felt like you were all in the waiting room with me, with Moon whispering in my ear that the bean didn't need a scan . It was really lovely, lots of dancing about (both DH and bean ). We get the results of the nuchal scan in a couple of weeks, though I will hear by Monday if it is high risk.

I know that some of you are having a really hard time right now so a massive group hug to you all and I hope that us medium panters aren't making it even harder with our good news this week. I just can't wait till we are celebrating even more good news and some new medium pants xxx

hoping sorry AF got you and that you are having such a horrible day. I'm sending you big hugs and some clotted cream icecream honey xxx

cupcake It's totally rubbish how easy it seems for everyone else to get pregnant It will be your turn soon though, and I can't remember who else said it but early summer is a lovely time to have a baby

Moon it is so lovely to hear you sound so upbeat honey. Can't wait till you are ttc and we can hold your hand through the 2ww, and then the long few weeks to scan the bounty cake sounds delish

Barbie it's great to have an excuse to put on weight ouch for your cashflow though

blue six more sleeps to go. I'll be away on my hols next week but will be thinking of you

kate I'm still so delighted for you. Things sound tough with DH but hang in there. Hopefully he will be back to himself soon and can support you in these early stages. In the meantime we are here whenever you need a hug xxx As someone said to me remember this is a whole new pregnancy and bad back pain is completely normal at this stage.

Neeko 5 weeks today. As I said in the text the next few weeks crawl but it seems to be speeding up now I loved what you said about us all being one day closer to holding our babies

Jools mermaid and MLS we miss you. Don't stay away too long xxx

gracie I'm glad work went well -and was short! did you get a desk?

thanks baking hope you found your book for work

iggy I just read a book by Chris Cleave called Little Bee and it is the most beautiful book that I have read in a long time. I would totally recommend it

annie your ds is so cute, that really made me smile Yay for the giant norks

ginger what's the news? did you test?

becks lovely to see you back We'll hold your hand next week so try not to worry

Has anyone heard how 4ever got on with her tests yesterday? Hope you are doing well honey. I've been thinking of you xxx

28 days to go VJ it's great that everything is looking healthy

sabs glad you are feeling better honey

lots of love to buddha MM and everyone else. Another mammoth curly post!!!
