[LittlePebble]

Our third thread!

Ditto ed! Am so broody, that or find.a job working with babies so I can steal one

X-posts!

Aww that's sweet mama! I suppose I may as well admit it to you all, C was conceived the night following Man utd 5-0 victory over Birmingham

I considered naming him Berbatov for fun

This time last year I was thinking 'I can't be pregnant, I can't be pregnant' even tho I had every single symptom under the sun . Will catch up with OBEM tomorrow night. Wish they could be tiny again. It's all going wayyyyyyy to fast!!

Practically I don't have space/money/time for another but I'd still love one lol
I'll end up one of those creepy women whose kids grow up and she ends up with one of those creepy dolls to dress every day and walk in pram and stuff pretending its real lol

ed eek creepy lady. We don't have room, car or money. Just hoping by some good luck that changes. Only a 3 bed so already a squash and a squeeze here. (still would love another tho, it could sleep in a drawer)

Scheh 5-0 and your dh scored too

Fuzzy my date was 29th jan according to edd. It we kept very "busy" ttc for a long time.

I had one night of madness that month, one!! Me and ex dp had already split by this point but he was over collecting the rest of his things. Think it was a mutual 'what the hell' kinda moment . I secretly think he has super sperm... one night!!!

I'd like another but not yet - might feel different in a year though!

I don't know when A was conceived, but it was a surprise - had been TTC for about 6 months and that was the month we were so busy very little happened in that department!

Fuzzy your story about the "one night of madness" is like the plot of a good chick lit book

at all the conception reminiscing, I'm pretty sure DS is a valentines day baby or if not, not far off it (his edd was in Nov)
I think I would like another but in a few years time (whispers very quietly and can anyone say rose tinted specs) but I do sort of miss being pregnant tho despite all it's discomforts and worries.

A was a new years day baby... We were staying in a hostel (we had sole use) and dd was sleeping in a travel cot in our room. Except she hated sharing with us and ended to sleeping in my bed with me and feeding in and off all night. (it was the weekend I resolved to give up breadtfeeding). The last might we were there we realised that the room next to ours was empty and unlocked so we moved dd in there and DH moved into my bottom bunk...

We'd been ttc for nearly a year so were very aware of when we'd done what! Our doctor told us that he thought the conception date was Feb 5th - not only did we not dtd on the 5th but I was away on a girly spa weekend from the 4th!! Lots of chat about the baby looking like one of the hotel waiters...!

- at conception stories!

Scheh! Back of the net hey! That did make me smile!

Fuzzzy. As my mother always used to tell me, one night is all it takes young lady!! but he gave you the best possible goodbye present (not that it makes up for him being a prize twonk!).

Not a single baby of mine has been conceived on English soil, the girls were made on January the 6th in the middle of the sea on a return ferry from Ireland (we weren't even supposed to have a cabin but there were thankfully some left over and we managed to blag a free 8 bed one!) and ds was conceived on a summer holiday. I remember sitting in the back of my parents car with ds on the way to Bournemouth beach for a walk the weekend after they were conceived and feeling so god awful and knowing I was pg. Did a test on the Monday, negative, did a test on my period due date and was the faintest line you've ever seen - then get to the scan worrying as there was no definite bfp and there is two little beans swimming around!!

Just dropping dh off at the airport and back at work on Monday, am feeling thoroughly sorry for myself and the crappy few weeks I'm about to have!!!

mrsh!

Sorry if this is a really inappropriate question (and feel free to ignore) but when you've been ttc for so a while, what was it like when you found out you were pg? With ds I thought I had appendicitis so when they found out I was pg they thought it was ectopic but then all fine and I was incredibly lucky to fall pg so quickly with the girls but both my pgs for different reasons have been a bit of a surprise xx

Oh BB3 what a double whammy DH away and back to work. Hopefully it'll pass quickly have you organised nice things to do at the weekend etc.?

Re ttc I took DP away as a belated birthday present, to a cottage outside bath in January, as his birthday is 5 days before Christmas. We had only come off the pill in November so thought it would take a lot longer as I'm old.
I've already planned to come off pill again as soon as we are married in October. Can't risk ttc before then as I must fit into my wedding dress!

Mama at baby in a drawer!

Loving the conception stories! I don't know the date, we started trying in the early new year, I had one period, then a bfp in feb. pretty lucky at my age (I was 38 then).

I just finished shining the sink. DH thought I was bonkers but was actually impressed with the result. Maybe he will stop throwing used teabags in there now.

Saw the nurse for L today, she prescribed ranitidine as the reflux is really not improving and L is seeming worse with pain and discomfort feeding. I think we will wait until he's finished the amoxicillin first. Also picked up some probiotics and put them in his bottle tonight.

Doing a dream freed as had to give L his drugs. Haven't tried before so hoping he makes it through until 6 (crossing everything!).

Sorry for the 'mememe' posts recently.

Ah these stories are funny!! I had my last period on NYE's so knew I was due again towards the end of jan. I started to feel crampy on the Thursday, just thinking it was on the way. Never showed. By Saturday it was in the back of my mind I might be, but was thinking 'not a chance!'. Was out at a friends 30th but decided not to drink 'just incase'. Then after the weekend when I still hadn't started, I was googling symptoms and realised I was having almost them all . Still didn't give in though and decided that I wasn't going to waste £15 on a preg test that would be negative anyway. By the 2nd of feb, I caved. Bought those cheapy strip ones (3 for £1!!) and within about 20 seconds there were the lines! Ended up doing all three then went to boots and bought a damn clearblue digital anyway!!

I never told him right away as I was in a state of shock. I knew he was moving away for a new job, but didn't think it was for a while yet. I left it a week then phoned him. He was in middle of packing things as he was leaving in a few hrs!! I told him I had something to say.. He guessed right away! We spoke for a while, said he didn't know what to do about his job. I told him to go (job was a brilliant step up from previous and I couldn't let him turn down the opportunity of it) and what will be will be.

Well we know how the story ends, but I wouldn't change her for the world!! It's funny, I was looking through the pregnancy boards and there is an oct 2012 bus!! Can't believe it's been a year!!

bb3 we'd be ttc for 2.5 years finally got bfp early nov but m/c couple of days later. So when got bfp for J we were scared and only really relaxed post 20 week scan. I hardly came on the bus because I thought I'd jinx it

Terrible night here, Jessica very farty and restless. Up every few hours and ds2 coughing away. Off out for morning then lazy afternoon.

I didn't find out till 11th March was terrified about telling DP, called him upto the bedroom and he thought I was going to ask him to make me a cup of tea! Was the first time we had dtd that month too, I had come off contraception, not chosen a new one yet, so we had avoided going the whole shebang, apart from that one oops moment not sure what to say when people ask if it was planned, obviously not planned, but after it happened I didn't bother getting the MAP, and DP (usually capt sensible) wasn't fussed either.

Then my work found out 2 weeks later and.sacked me

Oh Mama, glad you did join the bus , that make j even more special!

Oct 2012! That is scary!

Jnice what is with dh's and teabags in the sink, in our old house we had a Belfast sink (I think that's what they're called, the White porcelain ones) and I could have throttled dh every time he put a bloody tea bag in it!

Scheh, at your work, still can't believe it!

When the dr called to tell me I was pg with ds, I was working on my laptop and dh was watching tv, I told him, he said 'really?' I said 'yes' and we went back to our screens!! don't think it had properly sunk in but we knew there and then he was wanted x

Aww bb3 that's funny. 'oh yes dh, where having a baby, back to work' . How dis u react when you found out about having twins? I had an early scan at 9 wks. Lady found S then was looking around just to see there was only her! My mum suddenly shouted 'oh another!! What's the big dark area?' she replies 'her bladder' lol. Was huge due to amount of water I has to drink before hand!

sch I was the same when people asked if she was planned. Could see them mentally working out dates in their heads as most people by then knew we has split just after new year!!

Fuzzzy, Sophia was clearly meant to be! She'll go on to do great things!

BB3 not an inappropriate question at all! We started ttc just before we got married in 2010 (another funny story, was discussing with DH when I was going to stop the pill, I was sure he'd agreed...come my first period off the pill I say 'oh well, not pregnant this time' and his face was a picture! 'Are you not taking your pill?' Hmm, have I mentioned his memory problems?!).

After 6 months I went to the gp (she knew we were trying as I'd had to come off other medicine I'd been taking). I had the day 21 ovulation tests and everything was fine and DH was referred for the sperm count tests. In the meantime we carried on with the monthly emotional rollercoaster. I must admit that by the beginning of Feb sex had become pretty functional, there was a severe lack of passion!

I got a bit of spotting around the day my period was due so just assumed it was another unsuccessful month. However, it never really came to anything so i did a test and nearly fell over when it was positive! DH was cautious and wasn't ready to celebrate till I did another test the next morning.

It was quite a surreal feeling after all those months of trying. I think it really sunk in when I called the infertility clinic to cancel DH's appointment and the receptionist was so delighted for us!!

I do worry about how long it might take to ttc%232, or indeed if we want a %232 (DH found my illness during the pregnancy very hard to deal with, it made him quite ill, and I'm finding it hard coping with L and DH's illness, I don't know if I'd manage two babies and him).

That was a long winded way to say we were beyond delighted to find out I was pregnant!!

That's a lovely story Mrshende

Bb3 we have one of those sinks, how on earth did you clean it? Mines all tea stained

(those funny numbers and symbols are meant to say 'number 2' - silly iPod!)

Thanks Scheh!

My friend's dad uses Milton on his Belfast sink!
