Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

QueenFee - Haha... are you a POAS addict too?? We were going to start a support group here a while back since we had quite a few addicts present When I was TTC with Marco, I bought the ebay cheapies and went nuts. Was lucky and got preggers on the first try, so didnt get to use too many (they got passed on to friends since my shop has closed!).

Rainbow - how are things going???

QueenFee · 07/01/2010 07:45

well I always have to test at least 3 times before I (or Dh!) believe it. Besides as Af is MIA no other way of knowing this time.

Meanbeansmum · 09/01/2010 10:44

Yay a POAS addict lol!!!

3dpo and I swear the urge to POAS is building.....how am I going to wait another 6 days!!! Arrrghhhhh!

Scorps · 09/01/2010 10:50

Hi all

lacey is fine, abov her birthweight already on just bf

I'm still at my parents house have uterine infection and anaemia bit poorly

others are at mine with h. I will go home soon and he will leave then. Twat. I'm hving very bad times and some ok times in the same day.

Meanbeansmum · 10/01/2010 16:45

Scorps, massive hugs. It will all be ok, this will make you stronger but I wish you weren't having to go through this right now. Just enjoy your beautiful new baby, don't let him ruin that.xxxx

2ww is a nightmare! I am not very patient! Each month is sooo long!

babyblue4 · 11/01/2010 04:50

Scorps - Remember... if you need to talk, Msg me on FB. How is the bonding with Lacey coming? She is such a cutie, I'm sure it wasn't too hard!! LOL. As Means said, dont let him bugger this time up. She is only a baby for a short time, so enjoy it! He is not worth it.

Means - better get those cheapies ready

katnkittens · 12/01/2010 11:23

Just rescuing us from relegation to page 2

Meanbeans... hang on in there, the 2ww is hell but it'll all be worth it!

Scorps - Lacey is just scrummy, I want mine NOW when I look at your pictures. Your H is a twat and not worth your tears. He's the one losing out ultimitely.

I'm ok, 23 weeks but fed up because I just look FAT. I long for a nice neat bump but I'm so tall and hourglass shaped so the baby kind of settles into my big hips but my waist fills out so I look like I've eaten too many pies. I'm mainly just wearing size 16 trakky bottoms and longer tops, the maternity stuff is too big!

I do get a bump eventually and I know I'll sprout in the next few weeks!

Baby kicking like mad and seems to be lying breeh and trampolining on my bladder which is interesting.

Move in 11 days, my house looks like a bomb has hit it and DH keeps putting things in boxes and sealing them when we still need to use them grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr he's so impractical!!!

Love to everyone xxxxx

loopys - you don't need us to talk you back into it.... you know you want to have the fun of night feeds and nappies again

kat - you can't possibly mmove house with such and impractical husband, I would be too stressed to think about it. Looking fat after christmas is totally ok, and you will be sprouting that bump just after the house move.... not long now.

I am 5weeks 3 days, still in the danger zone, but feeling ok at the moment.

babyblue4 · 12/01/2010 17:09

Hello all

Rainbow - This is the year for you Im sure this is a sticky baby you have there. How are you feeling? At what point did you mc the others? Your first milestone (and ability to take a deep breath) will be once you pass that point. I remember how hard that was... but also how good it feels to pass that point. Keeping everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING ) crossed for you!

Kat - Haha... you need to start delegating! Assign things to DH to pack. This way, he cant get out of helping on the excuse that you dont like his methods, but it still keeps him working ;) Good luck with the move

Scorps - hows that gorgeous gal of yours??

Means - 2ww sucks... may as well be a month the way it drags. When do you start testing?

QueenFee - How will you know when to test? Do you usually get a specific symptom when pregnant? For me, it was always sore nipples and a stuffy nose

Loopy - you know you waaannnna!!!

rainbowdays · 12/01/2010 21:48

Thank you babyblue. I have another 10 days before I pass my latest mc point. It is an agonising few days ahead here. Can you keep everything crossed for the next 10 days????

QueenFee · 12/01/2010 22:59

rainbow fingers crossed for you.

baby I am working on the basis of CD1 being the first day I didn't take the pill. So I will just test every month on that day as I have always had fairly regular cycles. My first symptoms are feeling sick after drinking tea! I drink loads usually but when pregnant have to eat at the same time or I am sick and thats right from the beginning!

I didn't have a period before DC3 as I had a coil fitted and had that removed and conceived before AF. However it was slightly different as I wasn't BF at the time. I was told once that the natural gap when BF was somewhere between 18 months and 2 years on average as it's more difficult to conceive when you are still feeding 3 hourly. (obviously no one will rely on that though but it's interesting to know in my position) Therefore I am not holding my breath of getting pregnant soon.

really I just need to not think about it but i'm not that sort of person!

loopy but babies are soo yummy how can you reconsider I know what you mean as I had 3 years between my last 2 and I did have that feeling occasionally that I had my life back why go back to the baby stage, but I have to say that nagging feeling never went away and along came DC3 who is a really easy baby

loopy Thanks for the confidence boost

babyblue4 · 15/01/2010 22:28

Means - WooooHooooooooo!!!!!! Congrats and sticky vibes!!!

Meanbeansmum · 16/01/2010 09:34

I need some glue girls! Feeling weirdly ok in myself apart from boobies which are sore and massive and emotional outbursts, lucky dh lol!

Seems getting egg to meet sperm is fine, just getting the blighters to a. stick in the right place b. stay sticky lol.

Eiother way I can't control it but I'm ok, prepared for whatever now, I've toughened up!

rainbowdays · 16/01/2010 17:15

Means - congrats, and lets work together on gluing these little ones to stick where they should be at the moment.

Hola peeps!

Not much going on here but Im lurking quietly and keeping an eye on all you TTCers
rainbow how are you? Hoping everything is ticking along nicely?
means
loopy it's worth a try, we had a month like that though, it was very annoying
bb

I mihgt get on before we move but if not I wanted to let you know I'll be offline for a while until we get the internet set up properly in the new house.... hopefully asap as I'll seriously get withdrawal!

I had my wisdom tooth out yesterday, thought she would just gently tug a bit but no - proper yanking and pulling, took ages and I felt like I'd been assaulted! It's all swollen and sore today but better than the toothache I had been getting so hopefully will settle soon.
