June 2007 - Nearly have our first new sib, come on Daisy!

[Bumperlicious]

Hello

the niggly bit is annoying isn't it. Won't be long now though.

Hi Daisy & Ria. Did you have BH with your first pg, Daisy or just these last 2? I didn't have any with DD & none this time either tho' prob too early. How do you know when it's BH & when it's for real?

that's what i'm wondering at the minute tallulah , although I've just had a phone call from the consultant midwife (hark at me getting personal calls at this time of night!!) and she said "oh, don't worry, you'll know"

I had tightenings with DS but they were only that, tummy going like a drum. with DD they got quite painful and I had a few "am I, aren't I?" moments.

this time they are much more painful than that and i'm not altogether sure that this isn;t the start. I've had a bit of mucousy stuff and it smells.......odd, sort of a periody smell (sorry if TMI). I just wish it would either get going for real or go away...all this in between stuff is horrible.

Hope you OK Daisy. Are you on your own tonight?

No, DH is here; he got back at teatime thankfully as I was ready to sell the kids by that time.

things have calmed down again

Evening

When does he finish his job Daisy?

Hi Tallulah ....and everyone else

Hi Norty how you feeling?

Glad your DH here Daisy just in case it all kicks off again.

Hi - I'm fine....baby is doing somersaults and have heartburn....usual stuff ....but no swollen feet yet . I'm sure they were swollen by 25 weeks with DD.

Must be very odd with 2 squirming away!

How about you? How are you doing?

Fair to hellish. Hate the h/b more than anything.

Mmm its horrible isn't it. I might ask the doctor about it as nothing is working for me atm and its sending me nuts.

How long have you got left? How long realistically....do twins come much earlier?

Officially he starts his paternity leave next Friday, but he is pretty much here from now on in....although he may have to go to work one day next week....tis a hard life .

then he's at home until mid December when he starts his new job.

I wonder how long it'll be before we want to kill each other

My feet have only been bad in the last few weeks Norty. I think that's the difference between summer and winter babies.

hope you are doing OK tallulah.

We had another two babies on the November thread today......one of them a little girl, called....Tallulah

I've got Ranitidine tablets & Gaviscon Norty but still regularly up till early hours unable to sleep cos its so painful. Can't have anything stronger.

What a lovely name Daisy .

Oh never thought of the summer / winter thing. That's good, cos I can't live in mules like I did last time.

right off to bed with a glass of full fat milk to try and counteract the acid.

Off to work tomorrow and I can't bloody wait. Much as I love DD, I need some time away from her tomorrow...

Timings have worked out really well Daisy haven't they for DH....see these things are meant to be.

Night all x

oh not tried rantidine...is that on prescription?

I slept on an extra pillow last night....

Yep I get them on prescription. It is the active ingredient in Zantac which you can buy over the counter but if you are obviously pg - which of course you are- the pharmacy will probably refuse to give you them & fob you off with crappy, vile Gaviscon.

Right off to try & get some sleep - I have 6 pillows Norty positioned around various parts of my body, 3 or 4 under my head at a time. Hope your extra pillow & big glass of milk helps.

Daisy - hope you have a restful night.

I used to eat mint ice cream, it worked until the night I threw up when Iwas in the bath.

It seems baggins dislikes the new position of his cot more than the old one. He has beenin there an hour at most and he's awake. DH not back yet either. This is what it would be like if he had a job.

I don't have the energy to go upstairs again.

norty, I bought some cheap ugg copies so I can just slip em on without socks....they are very comfy.

you can buy zantac off the shelf in sainsbury's. I was very obviously pregnant but it just went through with my shopping. I was taking one on the morning and again at night, but they are too expensive. My GP wouldn't prescribe them . Gaviscon double action seem to be doing it for me though, much nocer than the liquid I got from the doctor which is like aniseed flavoured sperm

OK, so now I'm wondering how you know what aniseed flavoured sperm is like

I am having bizarre evening. I noticed odd bruises on my arm earlier after my bath, then it took me 5 minutes to locate my implant. I have no idea what I was thinking had happened to it (I think I thought it had moved into a stange place, not that sputniks nappy aliens had come and taken it) but it wasn't where I thought it usually was. (DS2 is a sod for leaning on his elbows on my arm in bed) Honest, I'm not mad.

Had to laugh earlier. Some misguided individual was delivering flyers for the bastards place DH worked for when baggins was born. I have never seen such a bad flyer in my life. I'm not perfect, but I can get the namme of the street where my house is right, and I know that "enterrainment" is not what people go to pubs for, not to mentionthe grammatical erroes (and that I don't enough about to find fault usually). Only 2 months and they should be gone...

lol ria....tis the consistency of it that is like sperm......makes me gag just thinking about it.

Can you overdose on lavender essential oil? I just had a bath and think I over did the oil a bit and now I am very fragrant. the air in the bathroom nearly set DHs asthms off it was that pungent. Now I'm fearful for virgil.

I think lavendar is the safest oil. virgil might just be a bit sleepy?

I should go to bed. still feel like poo and can't face dreams, but will regret it tomorrow.

Just bought ds2s xmas prezzie.

thanks Ria {smile]. It was near essential oil I put in, lots of drops......maybe as much as a teaspoon. I didn't think it would be so pungent

hope you feel better tomorrow

oops neat essential oil, obv.

Morning..... Daisy that made me laugh.....my DH always says to me (irrespective of the ailment)..."Oh I've got a cure for that......"

OMG, I'm never going to be able to swig gaviscon liquid again without heaving.

Morning all. Hope that heartburn has generally settled this morning for all you pg ladies and that everyone is well.

My sis has left. We had a nice day out yesterday and I think jamlet enjoyed her being here I did too, but was slightly that not only did I pay for the thatre tickets for Weds night and we obviously had her staying here, I paid for our lunch out on Weds and for ice creams on weds night and she didn't even try to offer to pay. Now I know she's finding it hard but DH has just lost his job, so we are now 2 adults and 1 child with a fair sized mortgage living on my part time salary, so I did think she could have asked if I wanted any money? Sorry rant over, as you were.
