firststar - you are so sweet remembering my scan is on monday! - its at 9am! i wanted to get it over with. i will have to go on my own though unfortunately cos dh will be looking after ds and dd.

babymad - i remember everything you have said about your mum in the past, but why is she in the paper?

bodders - i am off to primark!

The title is "mummy madness" it's about women that have big family's (babies after babies after babies) and so on and she is trying for her 11th! the Mirror's story her name is Dawna upchurch and she's not 44 she almost 47! hehe

OMG babymad- I can't imagine how you must feel after seeing that article. I really dont know what to say. Do you see your mum at all?

wow babymad! and you dont get on with her at all do you? do you ever see her? does she even know you are pg this time? sorry...........i am sure you have been through all this a million times before. just ignore me if i am too nosey!

Hi everyone - good to see you are back Greedy - when you lurk its just too tempting to post something isn't it! . Really really really good luck on Monday xx

MrsMcj - Great news that your spotting has stopped! Roll on Friday and a good view of babyMcj

Welcome Honeyapple and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Its lovely to see new ttc ladies. End of October seems ages away but before you know it you'll be telling us all about your 12 wk scan.

I rememeber the trouble you had with your mother babymad and all those nasty phone calls. It must be awful to then have to read her say what a great mother she is. You'ev got your own wonderful family now to concentrate on.

Re: weight - I've no idea but I know I've definately gained. I haven't owned a pair of scales for years now after weaning myself off them following a bit of weight obsession . I would be kind of curious though to know just how much I've added so far.

I've been away for 3 days visiting my best mate who has a 4wk old baby girl. She is totally adorable!!!! If I wasn't already pregnant I'd be broody ... But staying with her has reminded me how rough those first few weeks are with lack of sleep. She wandered downstairs this morning to say her daughter had been awake from 1.15am to 5am - Ohhhhh, the memories

Hope everyone is doing well and having a good weekend. I'm knackered so early night for me... At least my DS is almost 3 and pretty much guaranteed to sleep through the night

Chooster !! My nearly 3 year old DD still wakes every night, sometimes twice a night!!!! Don't want to think about those first few weeks with a newborn!! Help, what have I done!!

Greedy, scary - you know at a glance how pregnant I am, more than me!! thanks for thinking of me - how did you know I'm feeling lonely and quiet - must snap out of it, but it's good to know that other people have felt so lacking in any energy and feeling in these first few weeks. I think I'm trying hard not to think about further than a couple of days, due to my mc's. Got my booking in appointment details through this morning - now I'm scared. My first mc was the day after my booking in appointment, so it is a kind of milestone for me - 6th March - ages to go, but will be over the 9 week hurdle when I had my first mc. Just hope I still feel as awful then as I do now!

I do hope all is ok at your scan on Monday Greedy! - I have been thinking of you lots. Also thinking of MrsMc, but I'm glad to hear your spotting has stopped now.

good to see you here Honey!!

Take care all
xx

Hi

I'm looking for MrsMcJnr....MrsMcJnr...MrsMcJnr....
If you read this MrsJnr... can you venture back to TTC as left you some messages about the 'hot deal'... Thanks Rah

fettle - how tough for you having your m/c the day after your booking in, thats horrible. you are being very sensible taking it a few days at a time. i cant do that! one minute i am getting carried away and thinking of names and all sorts and then the next minute i am thinking how am i going to cope with having a m/c on holiday (nothing like positive thinking!). my head is a bit all over the place to be honest!

we actually had sex this morning!!!! (not me and fettle, me and dh!) i know it was probably stupid as i am still spotting, but i just couldnt hold out any longer and i had had such a filthy dream i just HAD to pounce on dh and 6.45am! i will no doubt regret it later if i start bleeding more again...............but i reasoned that i could carry on spotting the whole way through and there is no way i would be able to abstain for that long! you probably all think i am stupid, but i really dont honestly believe sex can cause a m/c in any way, if i am going to have one then i am going to have one, whatever!

fettle - you need to get tough with your dd!!! how could you cope with 2 of them waking up? easy for me to say though cos both of mine are great sleepers (must touchwood......must touchwood)

chooster - have you told them at work yet?????

Hi every hope you all are fine and well today!
Feeling babe move alot now and DH keeps feels him/her too which his little face lights up bless!

Spoke to my gran (mother's mum) yesterday about the newspaper and I said how come mother has put herself down as 44 when she 47, my gran said it was a "miss print", I just said under my breath (but so she could hear that is) "there must of been alot of miss prints then" my dh almost choked on his coffee, but she had the audacity to ask whether my boys could start going to my mothers house to play "I flipped out and she got a few thing said to her about her lovely daughter which I think was hard to swallow by her, but hay! Then she said well she's charged" "what for the 100th time, that my mother all over start trouble move and expect to have a normal life just because you what too, what about sorting out the trouble she caused first". No I haven't seen her in over 18months (just the way I like it) dont have anything to do with her, my gran see both of us weekly and She tell my mother thing about my life I.E. having another baby and so on! sorry for the rant!

MrsMc did you get to hear the HB I sent you?

Babymadxx

Hello everyone,
Ive been lurking in the shadows for a few weeks, but havent managed to post.

Mrsmcjnr....good luck on Friday....its so good to see the little beanie for the 1st time. I was so emotional...my dh was even worse than me...which I was secretly pleased with as he sometimes pretends to be such a mans man, when hes really sensitive under it all.

Fettle, I know what you meen about getting past the stage of the last m/c. I was like this too, and was so relieved to get over that mildstone. It still hasnt stopped me worrying, but it has been easier.

Babymadwithbump...omg I really feel for you, a friend of mine has a dad who at one stage was never out of the papers. They dont get on, and it drove her bonkers that he was in every paper talking a load of c**p about her family.

Im now 13 + 5. The morning sickenss (which should be called evening sickness) has almost gone completely. My energy levels are on the rise and I think Ive started the nesting as Ive been cleaning all weekend. My booking in is done, and they were nice enough to give me 4pics of my beanie. It was amazing as you could see its mouth opening and closing. Im having the nuchal scan on Wed ( Ill be 14 + 1 and am worried its too late to have this as Ive read that results are best between 11 and 13+6 weeks, but my consultant said it was ok so Im going for it anyway)Thats my lot!

hi to everyone i havent mentioned, and lets hope things keep going well for us all

love

dd1

Good luck for tomorrow Greedy. Fingers crossed xx

thanks for all your good wishes ladies! i am shitting myself! my scan is at 9am which is good though, as i wont have to sped all day worrying about it.

Hope all is well Greedy when for your scan in... 24mins. We'll all be thinking of you and hoping that its good news. Please let us know as soon as you can.

Fettle - Sorry if it sounded a bit smug saying my DS sleeps through... He was a rubbish sleeper for the first year but then after a bit of tough love he turned into a wonderful sleeper. Having said all that he came through this morning to see us at 5.00am and I was caught off guard as he crawled in. I thought I'd just leave him, but he wriggled and squirmed and snuffled and coughed and kept jabbing me in the back with his feet.... So he was promtply returned to his own bed

Greedy, no I haven't told work yet - this is definately the week though!!! As I'm 18 wks already I'd be surprised if the cat wasn't already out of the bag!

Got nother scan on Wednesday - am feeling more relaxed about this one which is hopefully my last. If all goes well I think I'll ask if they can tell me the sex - not sure if they will though.

Morning everyone - sorry I haven't posted for a while, it's been a manic few days. Had my nuchal scan last week which was absolutely fine. We saw a healthy little one - complete with fingers and toes... he even waved at us at one point. Truly amazing!

What was slightly alarming is that the consultant thought I was actually 13 weeks pg, and not 12 weeks - he based this on the size of the baby and how much he was moving around (he wriggled and arched his neck constantly!). But I'm SO sure of my dates... I dont know what to think really. Other than this baby is going to be gigantic!!! Has anyone had anything similar?

Greedy - good luck for the scan! Let us know how you get on?

DD1 - nice to hear from you. Your evening sickness sounds a lot like mine. I feel so miserable with it at the moment - had a really bad night last night. I just cant ever imagine feeling well again. Maybe I should keep my sights set on 14 weeks... I'm sure if your consultant put you forward for the nuchal scan it must be fine. Are you having blood tests as well?

Babymad - sorry to hear of all your woes with your mum. What a nightmare! Difficult family relationships are hard enough without having to read about them in the newspaper. No words of wisdom from me - just a big

Honeyapple - congratulations!!! Lovely to see you on here!

Hello to everyone else I havent mentioned. Hope you're all OK and doing well

Eeek! Forgot to say... the consultant was fairly sure I was having a ... ... ... BOY.

Morning Chooster! I cant believe you havent told work yet...

kitkate- congratulations on your scan, the dates do differ so much DS was 2 weeks late by the scan dates but near enough dead on for mine as long as its near enough!!

I also have my nuchal today x

greedy - good Luck for this morning xxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry hi to everyone else -

Kitkat - he could see ?????

WAd you private or NHS, im private today ( machines are so much clearer) may also ask my lady .........

Yes - it was a private scan. The NHS woman just said it was too early to tell! But this guy spent about 10mins looking - and it was pretty obvious it was a boy! Unless of course the baby has a tail...

I think we might have been lucky - the consultant said it all depends on what position the baby is in and whether he could get a good view!

I think it also depends on the time available - the NHS scan took about 5 mins and the private one took about 40mins! I'd definitely ask if I were you!!

Good luck for today - what time is your scan?

Good luck with your scan today Pinkranger!

Wow, a little boy - thats fab Kitkat. Little boys are just lovely (I'm sure girls are too - its just I only know what its like with my boy!).

The thing with my work is I'm a Project Manager and I dont really see my boss much - in fact I've haven't had a one to one meeting with him this year. So even though I may see him in passing, its not something I could blurt out. I also have a career manager too and the time I saw him our meeting was cut short. Anyway these are all excuses really () - I just havent had the nerve to tell them! BUT - I've just realised I have a meeting with my manager today at 10am - Fuck, I'm going to have to do it aren't I ?!?!?!?!?!
