May 04 babies - number NINE

[Bozza]

Here's a new thread especially for Kate79.

(she couldn't access the old one).

Oh dear, just to clarify for those of you who aren't yet aware of the great work of The Fimbles, Roly Mo plays the banjo and not MIL (previous post made her sound like the old lady in the Beverley Hillbillies!)
Need to talk Mirena coil at some point in the next couple of months. Is that something to toss into the conversation here or would it be better off on MSN?

Sorry Judd no help as were on the wellies.

No, need something for the next 5 years as safe as possible. That takes DH to 35, when he will feel able to have snip.

Right - I am getting us organised for next May. (unless anybody objects?) So - I even have a new hotail account (the old one went horribly wrong) which is prufrock at hotmail dot com (can you believe that was still available?) so could anybody that wants to meet up for a grand May babies birthday party please e-mail me, letting me know where in the country you are and any dates in May you would like or hate

Prufrock, a party sounds a great idea. I am 30-50 mins from Cambridge and the only days I will rule are the 13th and 14th of May . . .

I really hope this works xxx

rule out I mean! Freudian slip indeed. xx

Judd we are currently using "wellies" (love that kbaby) as well, but do need something more permanent. I actually want to get sterilised (I am that sure that I don't want more pregnancies) but I am having problems persuading a doctor that I am serious. I am actually thinkning about Implanon as I am very squeamish about any "insertions" (thank god for c-sections)

I have the mirena - been very happy with it so far and have had no periods after the first month or two settling in bleeds (but then I'm still breastfeeding twice a day, so I don't know how that affects it).

Keep getting a bit freaked by the "oh my god I'm pregnant with the coil" threads though

May - I'm in Worcester and the date I can't do is the weekend of 7/8 May. All other weekends in May are open for the time being, but social butterfly that I am, weekends are getting booked up fast (actually, I'm in shock as much as the rest of you...)

Oh bugger - pregnant on coil threads? Must ask DH to release his iron grip over the rest of mumsnet so I can have a look. Don't ever ever ever want to be preggers plays pop again.

Feel a bit like I'm busting in on a girls party here - I know I've been on once before but...Hurrah - ds now in nursery (we have our bedroom back)! I am in such a good mood as Dh took dd to school this morning, and I was able to come round at my own pace - then have a social day with TWO friends - unheard of. Just had to share!!

Re: wellies - we went for our compulsory pre-vasectomy counselling session last week and dh fell asleep that night holding his bits. He volunteered...(for the vasectomy).
Have you ever met up before, May babies? I'm nowhere near Cambridge, though, if that's where you'd have a thing.
Just had a power cut which dd2 loved (lots of cuddles, as we couldn't see much) and dd1 hated (couldn't read in bed). We're now back on so the Tesco shop is done.
Boo has eaten toast at nursery! She won't take finger foods from me. She's been saying "dad" again. She's been trying to pull herself up on the cot side too.
They're both going to mum's on Tuesday for TWO NIGHTS as we're in London one night and Chester the next for Dh's birthday. I have no fashionable clothes - in fact I only have one bra that's not a feeding bra .

morning girls! had a reasonable night! really could do with a night full sleep though! dp is still quite ill, fever 38+ - finally he's agreed to go to the docs! grmpf i'll have to arrange it though!

cat: thumbs up on kiera eating homemade food!!! you must be over the moon

well, i guess i don't have to think about any "safety net" for a few months

ah judd, and i thought we might be able to go to a concert and hear your mil play!!!

egypt: not feeling too bad actually, very tired though. doesn't help that i have to take care of both men atm! how are things with you???

oh libb! i really really hope you can sort out your differences. do you know what started it? it's always difficult on a relationship having a baby! (( thinking of you ))

prufrock the organiser (very impressed!): we are near windsor; last weekend is planned already; but fine with all the others

Prufrock DD's birthday will be Sunday 15th and we'll be having a party for her that day. Not altogether sure I will be able to make it - its quite a long way so if thats the only spare day - but OTOH I would love to.

We're using "wellies" as well (got a BOGOF in Boots - 24 for £7 so that should keep us going until the kids leave home ). The reason for this is that my mirena fell out. Quite upset about this - the unpleasant process of insertion, followed by some pain, lots of bleeding when I was still fully breastfeeding, then 6 week check and it was not there, followed by trip to hospital for pregnancy test, scan, internal scan and x-ray. I really, really wanted it to work - so now I don't know whether to risk getting another or go back on the pill once I stop breastfeeding. Hmmmm.

Forgot to give DD her breastfeed this morning. Wondered why she was being moody then just as I went out of the door on my way to work DH asked if I'd fed her. Once I realised my nipples started throbbing all the way to work. Still she only had 20 mins to breakfast time at that point.

Oh boo - I was hoping for lots of Mirena nirvana stories from you all so I could go and have one whacked in this afternoon . Perhaps I'm best off just sticking with the pill for the next 5 years.....it just seems a long time but I'd rather be safe than sorry! Bozza, your experience sounds really scary. I remember you'd had problems but didn't realise it was that bad.
I had a good night last night. Only one teething episode at about 4am, bonjela applied, and straight back to sleep. DS slept well too (it's the way I tell 'em!)

Hi all,

Prufrock i tired to email you, but it's saying that your email doesn't exist! Kieras brithday is Friday the 13th (EEP!) we'll probably have a party for her on Saturday the 14th, but that's to be confirmed. Otheriwise all looks clear, sounds fab!!

Judd- No Mirena experiance i'm afraid. I am very tempted to go for sterilization also tbh, but dp thinks i should hold off for the time being. Who knows how i'll feel when this wretched pnd finaly clears up. For now as soon as i've had my first period (haven't had one since the termination) i'm going for the jab.

Susi- Hope dh feels better soon. Men never go to the doctors do they?!

Libb- I texted you last night, dp fiddled with sim cards and one of his old phones (my new one is sim locked) and- hurrah!- got your number at last

I think we'll spend the day in company of gorgeous Colin Firth again, and we have a freind coming over this afternoon.
I'm still recovering from my myserty virus so not much energy for home cooking today, but yes Susi, extremly pleased she ate my cheese sauce and pasta

Lots of love

Oh Judd don't let my story put you off. I know loads of people love the mirena - got a friend who had lots of gynae problems (heavy periods for 2-3 weeks a month, had to have a d&c despite never having been pregnant, got pregnant by accident when on the pill etc) who's life is now transformed - also she said that her gynae had said that his workload had reduced considerably with it. TBH I blame it on my doctor - not sure she fitted it correctly because at a similar time another friend had her coil fitted by same doctor fall out and went through similar rigmarole. She even ended up going for a private scan - although TBH think that was her panicking a bit.

If I was you I would go for it. Just not sure about me because really I would like it. Do I go back to my doctor and hope she has improved her technique, try and find a family planning clinic or go on the pill. Obviously its not an urgent issue because I've got my bedside drawer overflowing with condoms.

OK e- mailaddress is actually hotmail.co.uk (Doh)

As we all have babies having birthdays in MAy, it might not be such a good idea to have it then - so how about 1st or second weekend in June?

Not necessarily in Cambridge either - once we know whereeverone who wants to coe is based we can find a convienient central location

Judd - I can't take the pill - tto sensitie to oestroen now, and I know I would never remember to take the mini-pill at the right times. Hence considering either implant or maybe injections

The house is gorgeous. I want it so badly. It's huge, with a perfect layout - living, dining, study, kitchen/breakfast/family (with a utility and a larder) 5 beds, 3 baths and a huge room over the garage which would be perfect for my gym. But it is right at teh top of our budget, and I have a feeling that we are going to get into a bidding war which we will not be able to afford to win.

Cat - please please don't do anything too hasty! I took my anti depressants until DD was a year, was then adamant I would never have another baby, still adamant at 18 months...then at 21 months decided to go for it. To be honest, I am finding it bloomin' hard work but now DS is older and the days are getting brighter and lighter and I can see a future! I gave all my baby stuff away after DD as proof that she would be my only child and we have spent a FORTUNE replacing it. This time it definitely goes though
Looks like I'll have to do a bit more research into contraception. I suppose if there was a foolproof, suits-all method...we'd all be using it!
Prufrock your house sounds wonderful. Ours is too small (3 bed semi) especially with DH working at home quite often. However, we can't afford to move to our dream house yet, so don't think it's financially astute to make an in-between move. So we're here for the forseeable future.

lucas is in bed, dp is watching tv and i've got some time to myself

dp actually got officially a flu! dragged him to the doc today and he's on antibiotics now! what would he do without me

lucas is crawling better by the day. i know, soon i will curse the day i wanted him to start crawling

i am quite exhausted and strangely enough i am really full but still feel hungry all the time! trousers getting a bit tight already
well, there is not much rest with a lo and a sick man at home - although can't complain really; dp felt a bit better today and helped quite a bit - very nice
arrrrrghh could do with a glass of wine now!!!

to do the meetup in june sounds great! mil wants to give birthday party in may (for both grandsons and her own bday! - all in may!)

prufrock: all fingers and toes crossed for that house!!!!!

hi all. havent properly read your msgs. but quickly on here to tell you that dd slept 13 hours through last night!!! amazed. darted into her room at 7 to find her with her comfy blanket thing completely covering her face. to my horror. but she was fine. didnt wake until 815! fingers crossed for tonight, but not too hopeful! amazing though.

will email you prufrock, but not too sure of dates yet. dd's bday is on 28 may which is a sat this year i think, so ruling that one out.

Hi all! I used to lurk on this thread quite a lot but can barely keep up with the April one at the moment...

Anyway, I just wanted to say congratulations SusiS!

Hurrah for little Egypt.

morning! not q as good last night, but woke once. laid there chatting for 45 mins then got a bit upset. had milk - this was 4am, mum gave it, then woke at 745. so q good still. getting there.

how is everyone?

did a test today - negative. so relieved about that. must just be my body feeling whacked and stuff. hormones perhaps, do they go wierd after finishing bf?
