Apologies in advance for everyone I've left out - been scanning back through last xxx pages and bound to have left someone out Blush

Wonder how the boodle family are getting on - still think of you when I'm in my driveway boodle and been telling my bump to hold on for a bit longer than that!

Meita - hope things are settling down well at home and you're getting some sleep at least!

Alba - glad you're feeling a bit better. Sounds horrible but as long as you've not got a high temperature I wouldn't worry about it affecting the baby. I read somewhere that babies are basically parasites and will get all the nutrition they need (at your expense!). I'm 42 later this year and have given up reading about the older mum risks (I do believe they are a slight increase rather than anything dramatic) but know how you feel.

Penguins - sounds like it is baggy jumper time for a few more weeks!

SamB - hope being at home helped and roll on that ML! I was 2/5ths palp at one appointment, then not engaged at the next, then 2/5ths palp again at my last appointment and was told the baby can still bob around a bit!

Hopefully - hope your step father's back is better soon and you get that scan date confirmed. Sounds a manic time.

Louisesh - pain in the proverbial about the car - hope it's sorted by now. Definitely not helpful for the blood pressure. Not long now girl!

Loopy - so pleased that you had good news. Must have been a horrible scare but at least they've been able to explain it to you.

Happygirl - welcome to your third trimester - it will rush past. I've spent so much of the early part of this pregnancy worrying that I can't believe that I'm suddenly nearly there - so do take time for yourself. I was told you can dream a lot more due to the increased body heat of being pregnant. I tried to tell myself that all my weird aches and pains were just my body growing to support my baby rather than anything worrying (and sometimes I convinced myself!)

Unbuffy - I am very, very jealous of your puppy. ~But yes, you are mad!! I've just put up 3 photos of my canine boy in the nursery!

Clareanna - glad you've told your colleague - that must have been difficult but good that you've done it.

Dorcas - congrats on the 20 week scan! Will your low lying placenta make any difference to how much movement you feel? I'm only mentioning it so you don't end up worrying unnecessarily. But I might be confusing that with when the placenta is at the front [TFLS scratches her head].

VivC - remember that dilemma of whether to have a reassurance scan or not only too well. My GP said I could have one but the midwife said the policy had changed so I couldn't - and then I was too cowardly/lazy to arrange a private one. In the end I went for the "it won't change anything anyway" approach but we're all different. Hope you make your mind up.

Magic - hope your sister is OK. How far apart are you on dates? Know what you mean about hormones and moods - I've had a couple of days when I think I've had the pregnancy equivalent of road rage and know that my mood is totally out of proportion to whatever mild misdemeanour someone has committed (like breathing!)

Sarahlou - hope the house move went OK and you're all settled in.

Bessie - ohhhh G&B butterscotch is my favourite. You've just reminded me to get plenty of stocks in.

Toomuchteasing - that 3D scan sounds lovely Smile

Lee - how are you doing (my next on the list companion!)?

I'm 39 weeks today and can't quite believe that I'm almost there. Alternate between denial and surprise! Getting paranoid that I can't feel enough movements but I guess it's getting very squashed in there. My joints are definitely starting to ache and I think the baby has dropped quite low so I'm doing that pregnant woman waddle walk! I've had quite an easy pregnancy so far and I'm trying to kid myself that there is no reason why I shouldn't have an OK labour as well (damn have definitely jinxed myself) - so all you wise and more experienced ladies, please lie and tell me that will be the case!!! Grin

Love to everyone.

thefatladyscreams · 16/09/2010 16:48

Batteryhen - just crossed messages with you. Sorry about your DH not getting back earlier - but at 39 he is a spring chicken! My DH can give him another 10 years. What a prat of a boss.

I've forgotten how far along you are - but my symptoms disappeared a lot around the 10 week mark. I think it is nature's joke at making you extra paranoid - ha ha.

dorcas111 · 16/09/2010 17:53

Why is it that as soon as I start to think that I am feeling quite well I immediately have a regression in symptoms- had horrible heartburn last night and ended up puking before bed (I am so fed up with being sick) and now have spent most of my day off asleep in bed as I'm shattered. Plus I've got a cough and sore throat so feel like I'm coming down with something. Moan, moan, moan!
Right, I feel better for having a whinge! Hope everyone's day is going well.
thefatladyscreams I think a low lying placenta can sometimes make it hard to feel the baby move but mine is lying to to the back not the front so it won't in this case and I have been getting some good kickings! Of course then I worry when I don't feel the baby move but there has to be something for me to obssess think about.
batteryhen I'm sorry your DP won't be back anytime soon- will he be able to be here for the scan though? His boss sounds like an idiot, 39 is hardly old for being a Dad.
clareanna your bra comment made me chuckle- sometimes I've had days when the highlights have literally been taking my bra off and getting into bed. Sad but true!
unbuffy am I right in thinking you have a whole litter of labs at the moment? You are one brave and slightly crazy lady. I have a three year old lab and he was a total nut job when he was a pup, but a whole load of them whilst pregnant... I take my hat off to you. (Am also a wee bit Envy too as I am a sucker for puppies and would love another but one small, needy creature at a time I think.
Ooops, didn't realise the time- have to dash to the garage to pick up the car, sorry for those I didn't get round to name checking, will be back later.

sparklyrainbow · 16/09/2010 19:03

Hi all

Have just been reading to catch up a bit and as I've been AWOL for so long there's quite a lot- I'm not even going to attempt a name check Blush

Been so busy back at work- coping ok at school until I get home and then I can't do anything! 25 weeks today (think I've lost some days on the stats maybe- perhaps someone could adjust nxt time please?) and midwife reckons I have mild SPD which explains all my pain/discomfort. Not a happy bunny because of certain colleagues either, not least someone in my department who's been promoted and the power seems to have gone to her head...and wants to make life difficult for me... I think she is basically Envy of the attention I get and offers of help with stuff. Made a fuss when I asked if meetings could be downstairs as I can't actually climb them without pain at the end of the day! Very obvious she has never been pregnant and I'd love to witness if she ever is... but then you can guarantee she'll be one of these really irritating people who'll sail through.

Gosh, sorry for the the rant there! On the plus side, baby happy and kicking away, bless him.

I have been thinking of you all on the list, especially SamB and also hoping the boodle family and Alice are doing well. Sorry for the 'me' post and I shall try to be a bit more of a frequent visitor now- would like lots of happy cheerful news to make me feel more positive please :) xx

Unbuffy · 17/09/2010 17:41

Just a quick HI to everyone, have been busy wallpapering (well, lining paper-ing) the living room... oooo, I ache... Painting it all tomorrow!

Mad, someone said? Ah well.

Grin to all, have a great weekend.

toomuchteaching · 17/09/2010 18:27

Hello everyone...

What about Green & Blacks down to £1.25 in Sainsburys and half price boxes of eclairs, jelly babies, wine gums and the like... certainly made my day!

Sorry to hear everyone's feeling a bit blah... battery can't believe the stupid boss man, what a ridiculous response, 39 is so not old.

Nice to hear from you sparkly, school is wearing me out too, they've timetabled my lessons all over the school and I might have to tell them I can't keep lugging stuff back and forwards, sorry you've got such an unsympathetic colleague though.

Did my MatB1 thing today, and filled in my maternity leave form, felt really weird deciding a date to go back to work, it feels so far away, but I bet it'll go really fast.

Are you feeling better yet Alba? Hope so! And hope your sickness is better magic16. Sorry for the crappy car news louisesh... sounds totally rubbish. I really hope it's sorted before the big day! Will keep fingers crossed.

Am feeling like I've crossed another milestone this week, which I wanted to share with you middle of the list ladies. 24 weeks and you become officially an obstetric case not a gynae one. Not that I want to be a case at all of course, but in doctor world it's now all about the baby. I know it's not a big, proper milestone, but I feel like being positive about things! So RHG, Alba, sparkly, LucyT, Gi1da, Bunny... we could have a little small mini bit of bunting, with some half price chocolate eclairs thrown in!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

batteryhen · 17/09/2010 19:31

Evening lovely ladies. Sorry not to do a name check but I am feeling really crappy. Wondered if I could get a word from the wise. I have had low abdo pain all day and feel really really sick. No bleeding, but constantly quite sore. :( Am I worrying too much? xx

Promise to do a good old name check over the weekend:)

clareanna · 17/09/2010 20:03

battery could be growing pains- I get a lot of round ligament pan. Suggest you take yourself to bed and take it easy for the weekend x

This is my plan for the rest of the evening after doing a charity bike ride this afternoon!

tfls not long now! How exciting!!!

sparklyrainbow · 17/09/2010 20:22

Oooh, Toomuch, may have to go via Sainsbury's tomorrow! We have a stupidly large site and I was 10mins late starting period 1 this morning as I'd had to be in assembly on the furthest side of school from my classroom- it took me that long to get across! Luckily I have loads of lovely Year 7s so it's quite easy otherwise :)

Louisesh we've just had similar news- at least £600 to fix DHs car, luckily we've still got mine to run around in though. Hope you're managing ok and baby doesn't come too soon!

Battery also suggest feet up, bath and bed! Hope you feel better soon.

Yay, it's Friday- happy weekends to all x

Unbuffy · 18/09/2010 10:00

Just popping in to say BATTERY stay calm, we've all had it, and all panicked, and come to the conclusion that it's nasty stretching of ligaments and muscles and means Good things not Bad ones. It's if it goes around to your back as well that you need to worry apparently. And nausea, although horrid (I still have it on and off, depending on what I eat) is generally also considered to be Good. It's time for me well known phrase or saying to kick in Keep Calm and Carry On (or go to bed as someone very sensibly says!) I currently have TOP of bump agony and nausea, so I do feel for you. x

Waves to all else!

Hopefully · 18/09/2010 10:38

TFLS your labour will be fine. Honest. In fact it will be positively enjoyable. Grin [liar]

Battery I've had reasonable amounts of ligament/stretchy type pains both times, and it was nothing more than normal growth pains. If you're worried though, try not to feel silly about phone doc/MW - they won't laugh!

My step dad's a teeeny weeny bit better now, but still in bloody agony most of the time. Very sad for him and my poor mother, who is looking after him. They're beginning to panic that he'll have a permanent weakness (a real possibility, but not certain) and they'll have to move house, as they currently have a massive garden that requires loads of maintenance.

Booking in appointment was fine yesterday (apart from needing to hurry my dad, who was staying over, out the house so he didn't bump into MW - he doesn't know I'm pregnant yet!), scan hopefully next week. Can't believe I'm 12 weeks already, keeping fingers crossed that scan is v quick and not bad news. Am feeling worryingly healthy, but I think I was pretty much over the MS by 12 weeks with DS too.

DP has been working at the southampton boat show all week, and today and tomorrow, so have been doing all parenting (he's not home till late, normally back at 5pm). DS watching waaaay too much TV and generally not being cared for very well (3 days with no bath is acceptable, right?), but my sister's very kind boyfriend has taken him to the park for a couple of hours this morning so I can have a break, bless him.

AlbaDeTamble · 18/09/2010 10:59

Battery agree with everyone re pains. My lovely midwife explained they're very normal but utterly petrifying if you've miscarried before. Try to rest as muchas you can.

louise what a nightmare re the car! Hope you can get it all sorted and no more stress...

Unbuffy, I've just rediscovered Rennies... Lived on them from about 32 weeks last time... Needing them a lot sooner now, had some last night when I couldn't comfortably lie down with horrid reflux. Miracle cure

who mentioned viability? I'm very happy to have got to that milestone, though would prefer to wait a few months yet Smile

just booked my next growth scan for mid october (will be having a few)... On a Saturday morning, yay! So DH can come with me too and minimal time off, which is great. Time off sounds good but in practice there's always so much catching up to do it's more hassle than it's worth...

Have found some lovely baby sleeping bags in mamas and papas sale... Just wondering if I'm tempting fate buying baby stuff so soon... But if 24 wks is viable probably ok to make the most of the bargains Hmm?

Sorry, DS calling, got to go again. Waves to all

Meita · 18/09/2010 11:07

Hi ladies,
just a quickie--- no time to read through everything, let alone namecheck. Sorry.

Boodle, as I said on Facebook, huge congratulations! I love the name Alice. I hope you are all settling in nicely and am just a teeny bit Envy of your quick and intervention-less birth...

TFLS, Lee, Louise who's going to go next? Wishing you all the very best!

Best wishes also to everyone waiting for a scan or other difficult times during pregnancy.

As to us, we've been struggling a bit. Little Ianto was doing fine for nearly a week after we came home from hospital, but then he started having problems feeding. By last Saturday he looked so skinny that we went to A&E where (unsurprisingly, given he hadn't been eating) he was found to have lost quite a lot of weight again. Poor little thing had to go through all the tests again, was poked with needles and drained of blood (and we got to collect another urine sample - the joy Hmm) but it was found he was basically well, except a bit dehydrated and losing weight. So we were instructed to top him up from the bottle after every feed. Which means that since Saturday, it feels as if we're feeding two babies - after breastfeeding, DP bottle-feeds him while I express. Needless to say that it's quite exhausting and doesn't leave much time for anything else!
Then on Wednesday, the hospital called us to say that they had found a bug in the urine sample and we should come in immediately. Once there, we were instructed to collect another two urine samples ... (because they thought the first one from Saturday might have been contaminated). So we spent more time waiting for baby to pee. Confused
The bug they had found is called enterobacter and they were really worried as it is one of those superbugs that are resistant to most antibiotics. They were talking about re-admitting us just to be safe. They took more blood, did more tests, and were about to insert another canula so that if it was indeed enterobacter, they could immediately start IV treatment. But they didn't succeed at first, so decided to wait for the test results instead. The bloods fortunately came back clear and we were allowed to go home, as Ianto basically looks well and doesn't show any symptoms (apart from not eating). Now we're waiting for the results from the two additional urine samples and hoping that the original one from last Saturday was indeed contaminated. I would hate having to go back to hospital.

So we've been spending our time feeding the baby, and in and out of A&E. When we got a moment's respite, we went to see a breastfeeding consultant (they are MUCH better than the standard midwife or HV) and we've also taken Ianto to have Cranio-Sacral therapy. I've found that often I don't even put a foot into our study for whole days at a time, let alone turn on my computer, read e-mail, or mumsnet.

That's the news from Meita-land - I doubt I will be able to keep up with the thread, but will pop in every now and then, time and baby's health permitting!

randomimposter · 18/09/2010 14:14

Meita - just popped in to say I had a simliar feeding journey with DS and had to top-up and express after every feed after he was hospitalised at 5 weeks when losing weight... sounds like you are getting more help from your DP than I did! I remember how exhausting it was and totally all-consuming (pardon the pun)... but it DOES get easier relatively soon. DS started to pile on the weight and soon became a happy little eater. BUT I remember how worrying and stressful it was, so a big squeeze from me.

Hope everyone else ok - looking forward to hearing TFLS news x

AlbaDeTamble · 18/09/2010 14:50

Gosh Meita what a tough time you're having. Glad latest test was all clear and hope they continue that way. I feel for you on feeding issues, DS was low birthweight and feeding was fine for first few days then got progressively worse, he lost weight, I was in agony and after a week, against all my best intentions, he was on formula and I was feeling awfully guilty. Great that you're managing to mix feed! Though I have to say in the end DS has thrived as an FF baby. Trying again with lactation consultant this time, happy to hear they are much more helpful than MWs... I'd been told by several MWs to hang in there, good latch, it'll be fine etc when it clearly wasn't.
Anyway, I digress, just really want to say I can imagine how tough it is for you just now and thinking of you, feeding issues alone are stressful enough let alone infections too. Great to hear your DP being so supportive. Big hugs.

And a big squeeze for Jolls. I do so hope you get a good sticky one soon and can be back here with us.

louisesh · 18/09/2010 16:48

Poor you MEITA Hope things settle down soon you re having a rough time of it.Take care of your family X

Thanks ALBA for your kind wishes.

Got the car back today good and bad as one of the mechanics informed us he thinks the clutch will go soon and that could cost up to £600 again!!!!! Soo, need to get the car back in the garage at the end of Oct to repair the damage done at the rta in August then we re going to sort out a lease hire car.....Sick of all this hassle/expense.

Hope everyone else is well.....and enjoying the weekend.Smile

batteryhen · 18/09/2010 16:48

Wow meita - I only joined this thread just after your little one arrived - but it sounds like you have had a bit of a dramatic time. It does sound that you are on track now which is good :) sounds like you are feeding 24/7!

alba hopefully unbuffy sparkly and clareanna Thank you for your advice and reassurance :)

I do feel much better today, - I had an early night and had a lazy day - so feel fine now. A bit sick (good) and no pain (even better)so I am happier xx I have my scan next week and so I will be happier then too. I must admit this pregnanacy does feel differnet to my last - with that one I really knew something was not right from the start.

tfls Not long now :) exciting news in the next week or so!

viv where are you lady , hope you're ok xx

Hopefully · 18/09/2010 20:41

Man, I'm so knackered! Wish I could tell everyone I'm pregnant so they'd help more with DS while DP is working so hard Smile.

Meita what a time of it you're having! I had a crappy feeding time at the start - not the same as you, but DS had a poor latch (we think he may have had tongue tie that snapped later on) and so he fed constantly, and never really settled at all between feeds. I think because he was such a big strapping chap he was able to just keep feeding to get what he needed, rather than getting weak and dehydrated, but it was still a bloody awful time. I persevered for 10 miserable weeks before he started having one bottle of formula a day, but I try to be proud of coping for that long - remember the positives of giving any BM, even if it ends up not being 100% of his milk for one reason or another. I was able to keep BFing him till 10 months after that (when he bit me and drew blood, and that was the end of that Grin).

Have started thinking of things like baby names, despite not having had 12 week scan yet. Am trying to control the urge to plan in case it all goes wrong.

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 19/09/2010 10:06

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around, and sorry not to namecheck much in this post, it's a lot to catch up on, and my poor brain can't handle it at the moment.

boodle massive congrats on the safe arrival of your Alice. Love the name. :)

Meita I'm sorry you are having such a tough time with Ianto, I hope he gets better very very soon.

magic8 so happy to hear your 12 week scan went well, even if it's old news by now.

hopefully DH started thinking about names about a week after we got back from our wedding. Madness!

battery glad you're feeling better.

hugs for everyone I missed out on.

I've had a busy few weeks. First I went to see my GP because I was feeling like I couldn't breathe all the time, and next thing I knew, I was in hospital, injected with radioactive isotopes, heparin and Light only knows what else, to be treated for a pulmonary embolism. Fun [hmmm].

Then we got a phonecall from the estate agent that our bid for a house on top of a hill in a tiny devon village has been accepted, so we'll be moving house in about 6-8 weeks! yay!

DH decided he's going to turn his internet retail business into a proper shop and got a property for that, too now.

And last but not least, I got a phonecall from the community midwives telling me that the midwife who was supposed to be doing my booking went on holiday and they had lost the note that had my name and phone number on it and only just found it. My boss decided she didn't want to give me an hour off on friday to get the booking done, so I handed my notice in and will be leaving in December. And my booking happened yesterday, and the midwife put me 3 days ahead of my old dates and said I'm 11+2, I think?!? She's going to call me tomorrow with my scan date which she wants done asap.
And she said that, provided I don't develop another PE or DVT, I might still be allowed to have a homebirth. YAY!
Overall, I'm not feeling great, sickness is wearing off a little, but BP is very low at 90/50, which is keeping me floored a little.

Sorry about the epic post, I promise to be around a little more from now on!

Hello all, I am back from my holidays. It was absolutely lovely. All sunny and hot, but not unpleasant hot, and we spent the days being very lazy as we know from now on holidays won't be quite as relaxing! Lots of reading books on the beach, swimming in the sea, and eating food.

The pills the doctor gave me put a big stop to all the puking. Although I did ruin it by going on a boat trip on Friday and getting horribly seasick. Felt really queasy yesterday with all the flying and the very long journey home. But fine today. Not looking forward to having to go back to work tomorrow. I want to still be on holidays!

I have read back so very quick namecheck:

Boodleboot massive massive congratulations, what lovely news to come back to. And what a dramatic arrival! Hope you're all doing well.

Meita I hope Ianto is doing better, it sounds like such hard work and so scary. I hope it's all a distant memory soon.

Loopsy WOW! I gave a little squeak of joy when I read your news and was praying as I kept reading that I wouldn't come across any bad news later. That is just the most amazing things. Now you just go ahead and have a very boring pregnancy from now on.

jolls big hugs to you.

And big waves to everyone else!
