December 2011 - me do it mine self

[TheOnlySeven]

Offers round and

What a big pile ol stink, damn AF Fig.
On pregnancy #7 (or possibly 8, although I refuse to count another loss!) now, and even now I'm so green eyed at pregnant ladies (esp. those who didn't plan it! It's hard for me to stay pregnant when I plan them ffs! ARGH irrationality).

Sorry things are so shit with DH/DP Oi & Kri5ty. No advice but hope everything works out.

:( breaks my heart people being in that position. My best friend can't sustain, she is seeing an ivf cons tomorrow, but after 8 pregnancies, she doesn't know if she can put herself through the disappointment if it doesn't work.

It must be so tough. I had one mc early on, so it wasn't so bad. But now I'm beginning to think that that may have been my last chance. Maybe I fucked it up by being on a diet. Now I need to get pg and need to lose weight and... Just keep in with the frolic acid (did I write that? Or was it spell-checker? Either way, I like it, I'm keeping it. I only wish it had that effect!!!!)
Kristy, sorry to hear about your oh issues too. I'm with you on the selfish bit. Get pg, deal with relationship/OH later. (Let's face it, that's their only use/purpose.)

Crap isn't it figster- my contraception means I don't have periods, which helps ref the hormones, but am still going serious googly-eyed over babies in town. Y'know that tight-chested breathing-in thing you do when some generally bloody useless and far more interested in their phone parent isn't attending to a wailing new born....thinking 'just see to the baby, just see to the baby or I'll be intervening....'

Hadn't realised you'd had so many mcs boba : have they been spread out, or just before/after DC? And I agree kri5ty ( btw, good to see you) there are so many women out there who struggle but of course you can't tell by looking and it's not something that gets brought up- I've known a fair few in the same position.

Are you around at the moment aethel, or have the kids stolen your tech ?

DS followed up his lamp-post love by eating a lipsil today, sigh...!

Yep, am still about, though trying to motivate meself to leave the sofa and failing to go to bed!

Hi Kri5ty , good to see you! Sorry your "D"H is giving you grief and things aren't the way you'd like. Similarly oi, you've had things being tricky for a while now. Is there any way you can get to Relate again, or did that not really work last time?

Sad to hear about Peaches G. Poor girl, and so awful for her babies :(

Hey all the other ladies talking about extra folic acid on other thread and it is freaking me out a bit. It's okay to just be taking the normal pregnancy vits, right? Like pregnacare but boots own.

Feeling really anxious today. Went to see GP about migraines. He said there isn't much I can do except increase dose of amitriptyline to see if it helps. I'm on 20mg/day so he suggested trying 30mg/day. My consultant obstetrician said it is fine to take it last time I was pregnant (when I was 38 weeks though so not much help!) but even so I'm now feeling really anxious that it might harm my little baby in some way. I've been v anxious and teary (and bad headachy) all day. I forgot the horrible anxiety that goes with pregnancy. I wish I could be one of those relaxed, glowing pregnant people.

mopsy, it's recommended you take extra frolic if you have a high bmi or previous defects, not sure if there are other reasons?

northen; mc1, ds1, mc2, mc3, ds2, mc4, mc5?, this pg. annoyingly nhs will only investigate if its three in a row. people assume because i'm young and have two close-ish in age it's been easy for me!

aethel; horrible news about Peaches, her poor boys, husband and rest of the family. my biggest fear is dying too young for te ds's to remember me

typing with one finger feeding ds2! annoying grammar/spelling, his fault!

Mopsy i was on 30mg of it at the start of this preg, they told me it was fine, but i stopped taking it.

i also have taken no vitamins at all after 12 weeks... I just forgot!

Re subbing as dropped off thread.

Kri5ty have you managed to agree a c section this time round yet?

I took pregnacare plus all the way through with DS It was bloody expensive but I credit it with my lack of symptoms throughout.

I did too Figgy and I had loads of horrible symptoms!

Pregnancy is cruel and inconsistent mopsy quite clearly!!

Dh has agreed to go see the bodyguard musical in London with me yay!!!! Alexandra burke is taking over as main character from june i do love her shes fab!! Booked to go to rock of ages too when it comes to Bristol today

Similar with a friend's daughter Boba, she had two mcs then two babies, all close together. It is so random: not only is it a horrible thing to go through, but the total lack of control over it (if you're not smoking 70 a day, etc) is an extra dimension to the unfairness. Everything crossed for this one.

Sorry you're feeling so anxious mopsy, rotten hormones. You'll be fine with just the normal amount of folic, and really hope you feel better soon. Are you enjoying being 'off' work now?

And does this mean your DH is being cheerful and positive in general figster, hope so!

Had to work late, recruitment taking over my life again- but after next week, that's it, we've got a full complement of staff! Except we've got to start recruiting volunteers about a month later

figgy its on Friday, I'm crapping myself he will say no! His registrar said if he did to see another consultant, and that they don't like people this far along getting anxious etc. They also sent me to anaesthetist, he was lovely and asked what i hoped for , for this delivery. I said elective, and he said that's what he thinks best... So I'm hoping consultant will be as nice.

Ps mopsy is it wrong i got excited when i read you take amitriptyline? I've never known anyone else lol.

oi don't let yourself think you fucked it up by being on a diet- silly! And it will happen :D just keep being selfish! Oh issues pretty much been on/off since first birth. Now i kind of see myself as a single parent anyway, with a lodger who just pays half of the bills... But i clean up after etc.
i will try at the relationship after this one, and I'm expecting to do everything on my own this time, not rely on him for help, so at least there will be no arguments over that!

I've just read a few pages back, congrats to everyone :)

I tried a different thread, but gave up as it was poop (we are the best, even though I've been mia for 2 years lol)

I still can't put mn names to fb names!

Ps the nanny thing is stupid! We're probably going to have to get one due to shift work, plus it's no more than 2 of them in nursery :/

Sigh... DP has just spent 15 minutes engaging in shrieking, rolling on the floor wrestling with DS, throwing him around, restraining him, all done just before he took DS to bed .... and now wonders why he was a nightmare to get ready and put down.

It's not rocket science, is it?

Hi Kri5ty, good to see you!

If anyone at work is paying any attention to me I think it's so obvious I'm pregnant...I felt so nauseous this afternoon Never mind!

I like this thread best but I guess it's because we've all got to know each other :)

?? excited for you!! Be gone evil nausea!

northern ahh we have those battles too. Had an argument tonight as OH wrestles etc with him which doesn't bother me. But then he pretends to fake punch him... Countless times I've asked him not too, as Saul will copy, not knowing it's wrong.

Kri5ty can't believe how quick your pregnancy has gone by!

DS has officially given up sleeping in his bed. He makes it till about 2 in the morning then comes into bed with me 'I want mummy, I want my mummy' in this sad little voice I just can't say no to. This is a phase, right?

Someone bumped my car in a carpark this morning, not too much damage but urgh insurance and getting the dent taken out etc etc, did not need this at the minute.

Oi and Kri5ty are you around on Friday afternoon? Should get the boys together soon.

Kri5ty I had an argument with dh last night too well more this morning really 3am this morning. DS had a cough over night and first thing in morning for few days been giving him cough medicine at bed time and said would take him dr on Thursday as back from London early, last night dh give him nurofen I told him at time he needed cough medicine or he'd be coughing all night he didn't listen then of Course at 3am when DS coughing in his sleep (he's oblivious) waking us up it was all my fault for not taking him to dr sooner don't know what he wanted me to do at 3am other than give him the right medicine which stopped him coughing but somehow it's still my fault......twat!! So I have to leave work early to take him to dr, then will have to feed him tonight as cm won't have chance

To stop boasting and making us all ??!
Friday after 2 is good for me. We're in.
Am on a train to fancy London. Working very hard on my presentation for next week. Very hard.
No interruptions please.

WHAT? I'm not distracting you!

I went down 't fancy London last week. I miss living in London.

I'm off to London tomorrow my 2nd home these days. Sick of the sight of the place
