[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

All comers welcome, we're a rolling thread. Newbies, middles and oldies alike, join here for hand holding, knicker checking and general batshit craziness!

No queue jumping here!

bleeding all stopped, cervix high, firm and long.
Gah! a come non Kid! I do not want to be induced!

Oo saggy, bit of drama there- how are you this morning?

at kjh working in pjs and fod's DIY. Needs must eh girls?!

Oh saggy how flipping annoying! Glad all seems ok with baby though.

Is so wierd, I was convinced I was going to have a February baby but looks like that window is closing rapidly! Here's to lots of (early) march babies!

Thanks for all the messages of support. I really do hope you all get to cuddle your babies soon. squiz and JBrd I hope things keep going as well as they have been. You deserve that facebook page.

Those about to pop, I hope you have ten minute labours that don't even smudge your mascara.

I am just in that horrible but oh so familiar limbo. Not sure what is in store for us next, just concentrating on getting through the next few weeks.

All the best aoife.

Big hugs to you Aoife. xx

Ooh! Missed Fods DIY! I know what you mean. DP hasn't been near me got aaaages!

Mind you, im not sure how it would work logistically! Although it might stop him looking quite so haggard!

Thunder needs defo must! I can recommend all the best websites now and how to delete the internet history hahaaa - I'm turning into a man

Aoife my heart really does go out to you / I sincerely hope that this means that your GP can do further investigations to safeguard you for future pregnancies. Take time gor yourself ) let your body and mind heal too

saggy it's sooo annoying isn't it? The whole limbo twinging is mega annoying!! Glad your both ok tho and the bleeding has stopped

Aoife you're a very brave lady, I'm so sorry you're going through this again. Sending you lots of hugs xxx

fod you crack me up!

saggy had to go and read that thread, made me giggle, you get some folk with odd ideas don't you! Sorry things haven't progressed yet, these babies are obviously too comfy.

guff I was also convinced I would have had a baby by now. I told everyone I would have! serves me right I guess.

Reflexology today going to tell her to try and shift baby.

Definitely too comfy! I went the full 2 weeks over with the others. I cant imagine being remotely sane by that point! nit that i am now I'm fit to be tied!
And I most definitely shouldn't MN during the night!

Thunder it is funny, but sad too. She reckons other people's kids are accessories!
And she's going to boil everything!! With bleach!! Nice!

Saggy I used to live in Guildford and that lack of insight was common amongst my colleagues at the time. I dress (even though I'm past it) a bit 'rock n roll' and have my nails done with patterns. I would get people in head-to-toe Gap/White Company lecture me about how I was 'too extreme' and this showed 'insecurity' and yes they said this 'middle class people don't dress like that, you look like you're from the inner city.' Er I am?!? Basically "you don't look like a school teacher, it makes us uncomfortable."
They simply couldn't understand that just because the colours they wore were muted, they were making a very definite, clear statement about their 'social tribe' - just as much as I was (and possibly easier as no one judged) and that some were clearly doing it 'to fit in'.

pixie I have my uses ;) I've heard that reflexology can be very effective! Never used it myself but I have studied it in the past - let's hope it works - we will all be signing up for it

saggy I recommend lying on your side (you cabevd. Do it under the covers! Which is great when your ass is the size of Pluto hahaa. Ooooo what's this big argument you've had? I too went two weeks over with my others it's hard bloody work

Morning all. 20 weeks today - never thought I'd get this far!

jen the cat is quite interested in the bump. When she sits on my lap she always tries to sit on the bump or lean on it. It feels weird so I'm not keen on it. She's my DP's cat so mainly sits on him.

I hope we have some thread babies soon!

Squiz shes quite amusing tbh. "toddle loo"...
That's a shocking story though. I'd say the fact that you can express your individuality means you are a 'more' confident person. People are weird!

Fod check out the thread in PG about white baby grows.

Just read the white baby grow thread. Hilarious! I think the poster is in for a shock when her baby arrives!

ooh I think I'm going to have to go and check out this white gro thread! I'm a strictly bright coloured only, it hides the sick and poo stains!

hello by the way, how is every one?

Oh Aoife even whilst enduring an awful time what you write here makes me chuckle! Wishing you huge strength and courage fab lady.

Nerdy Congrats on 20 weeks! That is fab. So interesting about the cat. Our dog has been very keen to sit inbetween me & dp lately but I don't really know if it's anything to do with bubba/hormones he's sensing. Just he doesn't normally pay any attention unless he thinks he can get some food!

kjh nearly mat leave time woo hoo!

Hi to everyone else. I am so pleased March is finally a day away. Feels like I have been trying to get through a day at a time of February FOREVER.

I've added my thoughts to the baby grow thread, I love the Nievatey (I cant spell it, but I'm sure you know what I mean!) of some first time parents! Steam clean every day, yea right! You're lucky to get out of bed for the first 3 months with your first! Getting dressed is an achievement, steam cleaning every 2 weeks is award worthy!

Cbeebies I find the steam cleaning daily a bit naive and controlling and possible anxiety based which I can say as I am one WITHOUT any DCs. Mind you as I appear to be everything she despises in the world (I secretly wish they did baby clothes in black/red and teeny little Guns n Roses t-shirts ) and work till 7pm leaving poor DH to clean I'm probably with filthy disgrace rolling around in my own filth.

Hi all

Sorry have been absent for a while working hard and pretty stressed.

Anyway, it's two girls, very exciting. She could quite get the view she wanted of one heart so back for another scan in a couple of weeks. No point in stressing about that just now, all looking good from what's been seen.

Fingers crossed things start moving soon saggy.

saggy I'm off for a nosey to see what all the commotion is about scater you lucky lucky sausage!
london are you finding out the sex?

I've not read the white baby grow thread yet (saving this for my lunch break, it sounds like fun ), but I can sympathise with the naivety of some first time parents - I was one of them. However, I found the important thing is not to get stressed when things don't go the way you planned/imagined - mostsome invariably will! I am usually a control freak, and I found the idea of not being in control once the baby arrives very daunting. But it turns out that even though not all was plain sailing, I absolutely loved it! But of course, that is something everyone has to find out for themselves.

squiz I bet that there are baby G'n'R t-shirts or babygrows out there - have you looked? You can find anything for babies these days, and if you don't, there will be someone who can make it for you And for black/red baby clothes, they definitely exists, check out Polarn O Pyret, expensive, but o so nice.

My clothes are starting to sit a lot tighter already I've been only feeling proper sick-therefor-I-must-eat for less than a week. This does not bode well. Might have to say good-bye to the BabyBels again (but they are sooo gorgeous) and find something else with fewer calories

That thread did make me giggle - I sincerely hope the grannies-to-be have made good on their threats to buy this bubba some clothes, because at the moment he's going to spend the first few days of his life dressed as: a zebra, a tiger, a bumblebee and superman... apparently I'm incapable of purchasing normal clothes and have regressed to my 5-year-old self and bought nothing but 'dress-up' things for our little boy!

It is such a huge relief to be on mat leave I tell ya! We actually managed to finish work a bit earlier last night so spent the rest of the shift having some bubbly and a laugh with my team and they even bought me some little pressies! I came home feeling full of the joys of spring (probably due to the half glass of cava)

.... then didn't sleep due to SPD pain, dragged myself out of bed to find I have somehow managed to put on 6lbs in FOUR days and had a big crying snot-fest to DH because I'm so ginormous they're going to have to remove me from the flat via crane to take me to the hospital when I need to give birth... ah pregnancy!

Hi all, I am tentatively dipping my toes in the water of the post-post-MC thread. Very nervous, and feeling grateful I was lucky enough only to be on the post-MC thread for a very short while (because I didn't feel up to talking about TTC until very recently). Am only 4 and a bit weeks gone, BFP last week, but lost my last pg at 5 or so weeks. I am so aware of what can happen that right now there is no 'enjoyment' of being pregnant again.
I don't know if this is a stats-y kind of place, but this is my 3rd pg, my MC was in July 13, and I have one DC who was born in 2011.
I am struck by the mix of happy and sad news in the few pages of this thread I have (not very exhaustively) read through, hugs to aoife for your loss, so so sorry, and congrats to scater! Twin girls!
