Buckets - that is what I am waiting for the second lot of bloods for - I have all the classic symptoms. go to you GP all it takes is a couploe of bloods and hey presto you have na answer. It is apparently very common amongst post natal women and if not too serious will sort it self out in time. I have another set of tests nest thursday and then have to see the GP for a plan of action.

btw, the phone call was fil trying to find out what's wrong and why we're not talking to mil without him actually asking what's wrong and why aren't we talking to mil! we had a lovely merry dance together

Miamla · 01/05/2009 21:18

good grief steaky! its taken you ages! you haven't been waiting all that time have you??

pertelote · 01/05/2009 21:18

Fair enough Sazzles but that doesn't mean we don't want you around when the time (did I mention it is far off?) comes! After all surely you ladies with more than one LO have nothing better to do than listen to us moan share your wisdom and experience?

Miamla I accidently closed the window while it was still processing. But I checked my email account and it was all gone through.

Thanks Oops, I just feel there's got to be a reason for my scattiness, tiredness, PMTness, just-overweightness - it's not PMT, I get more sleep than most of you lot and I swear it's not the 3-kids-thing.

Miamla Not all symptoms develop LOL, my skin's ok, I aint constipated and I'm not depressed. I've just got everything else and a kind of listlessness that comes and goes (did think it might be start of depression but it's not continuous or overwhelming and I'm generally happier than ever.)

Steaknife · 01/05/2009 21:26

Sorry ladies can't stay out to play tonight tis bedtime here.
Hope you all have nice evenings and sleeping babies.

worry not pertelote we can be happy pg women together

pertelote · 01/05/2009 21:32

Oops we certainly hope things will work for you. Hope my flippancy on the subject is not rubbing a sore point, I know it is my good fortune to be able to make plans lightly.

Miamla as you can tell I am in no rush and not currently listening to Sazzles' words of wisdom and experience! No broodiness yet to override my sensible space-it-out plans either... though I can see how champagne might have a similar effect

Well persevered Steaky! Can I tempt you to a swerve towards London?! Though actually I'd love to join in a west country meet if it was train-able and not in the last week of May...

Buckets hope you get the answers you want... LOL at Miamla's response though

Miamla · 01/05/2009 21:38

oops i second what pertelote said about hoping things work out for you

pertelote hmm, i may well beat you to it then! assuming DS continues sleeping in his own room and gives us time to you know cough erm do the deed this century!

hmm a London swerve would be good but i'd also be up for a trainable west country meet

oopsacoconut · 01/05/2009 21:39

No worries Pertelote, it's not really a sore point just a pesky menace that my body decides not to work when I want it too. Ooh do try and come to a meet up - I would love to meet you and your brave little girl.

Steaky - We too are around that week so just Yell.

TwilightSurfer · 01/05/2009 22:08

well i've caught up since my last post. lol

i'd love to be a part of the next pregnancy thread but as a consultant. i purchased some covers today to help keep it that way until those pesky swimmers stop swimming in the sample cup.

buckets i am beyond tired are you sure its not just regular hormones? i swear that's my problem. i'd rather be curled up in a corner snoring atm but i'd probably wake in 10min and never get back to sleep. that's been my nights for more than a week now. i've reached that crazy lady stage. constructing sentences is very very difficult.

Miamla · 01/05/2009 22:16

TS i've been in the crazy lady stage for the past 9mths! Know what you mean about sleeping for 10mins and then no more. its bloody annoying!

TwilightSurfer · 01/05/2009 22:21

i feel like i need to be pushing a shopping cart, dressed in about 10 outfits, wandering down the lane, talking to myself and myself and myself and my invisible dog.
