:wave: Hi!!

I would be fuming too,especially as you put it as your opinion.I'm all for debate but people really pip me off when they try to change your view to there own . Besides...you are right

I'm dying to know what Jade is having..hurry up!

 

[pink sparkle]

Oh rach i totally agree with you about sorting our country out before sending money elsewhere although i have to admit it tugs at my heart when i see poor children suffering and starving bit of a raw subject atm i suppose with so much in the news and i dont agree that its our countries fault at all, its the government in these countries that rip off their own ppl and would rather see them starve etc than fork out. Im gonna have a nosey at your status x

 

[Cherrybinky]

Chris,

shes posted on her Facebook Ive also updated page 1 on here if you want to find out

I responded to the post Id done backing my opinion up but its made me have a panic attack and the palpitations came on so Ive had to take my comments off. Pete says its my own fault for having an opinion like that.

x

 

[pink sparkle]

Oh hun its so not your fault at all, i didnt read the whole long response on your page...cant remember who posted it...but what a dick...i hate it when we get it shoved down our throat that our country has done this and that to all these other countries...like years ago and that we have to pay the price. Look at what our country does for other less fortunate nations...and all the bloody immigrants we have here sponging off our system. Try not to let them get you upset and in a panic i think our country is a mess cos there are so many do gooders who are too politically correct and we are not allowed to put our own ppl first. grrr getting me mad now lol!

Chin up hunny and sod them! xxx

 

[no1seasider]

Aww I've seen! congratulations!!

Don't get so stressed about it hun,everyone is entitled to their own opinions,there is no right and wrong.
On the subject of palpitations i am getting them, a lot!

Got on the scales this morning(with one eye open!) and was 12st9lb which is 6lb up on my pre preg weight.I was 12st 13lb a week ago? how did that happen?Especially when i cant stop eating...i have eaten 5 (FIVE) crumpets this morning,smothered in dairylea too naughty i know.
A rep came into work yesterday and gave me a huge pouch of the new twirl bites to try, and i ate nearly the whole bag to myself....

Have work until 10.30 pm tonight and then am off till monday night,and have my day shifts off for 2 weeks!yay! Was thinking about my maternity leave today and i think i may finish at the end of week 33, take a week hol and start mat leave from 35 wks. Does this seem too early? with all the others i have worked until 38 weeks (apart from mason who was born the day after my leave started!)..but i just cant be arsed now.

Chris - I LOVE Zane, not keen on Lucas, but them my fella is Luke and in my families cat language he's Rucas which is why my username is Rees, it's Leigh in cat language

Helen - I now have the hilarious image of a newborn dressed in a Mr Hanky the Xmas poo costume If I had a full bladder I may have wet the bed!

Your pregnant friend sounds a bit dumb!

Jade - I'm not gonna comment on names as you know the sex by now and I'm pages away the no periods bit is a blessing in disguise, you will get a lovely bleed after baby! Mine lasted 6 weeks, got a 2 week break n hello proper period! Mine would go 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 4 weeks until I went on the pill to regulate them again. But I am enjoying them not being here, although I have to wear a pantyliner for increased discharge, yum!

Helen - you're crazy do you plan on breastfeeding? If so it can take 6 months or longer to start ovulating again, you keep making me laugh! I so wish I was able to read all of this yesterday!

Han - I wouldn't bother with you "friends" you'd think they could make the effort to not drink or at least do low/no alcohol drinks when you come My friends have constantly changed, I've only got one proper bessie from infant school left, and she lives way up country, but comes down as often as she can (luckily her and her husband own their business so they can do that quite a bit, she's type 1 diabetic and has just had the all clear to start trying so I'm over the moon for her ) my other mate is from secondary school and she's just moved out for the first time with old school boyfriend who now has a 5 year old boy! The rest have kinda come and gone. I have one close mummy mate, I text her on monday so say that I might have chicken pox, didn't expect a reply because it was late, then I text her on Tuesday, still haven't heard anything so I don't know what's going on not sure if one of hers has it or that's how I got it, worrying myself silly that I've given it to her 3 week old baby

Rach - how did you miss that sex on legs was gonna be there! Did you know he actually studied at Leeds Uni? (can't remember where I read that!)

I hope you have the courage to meet with some NetMums soon.

Helen - can you not rent a pool?

Han - wonderful news about your Dad

Rach - I saw that status and agreed with it, but forgot to click 'like'. I do not donate to comic relief as half of the money goes to africa etc... The money our Govt. sends them goes into the pockets of the big cheeses and not to the people who desperately need it. I sympathise with them, I really do, but for me charity begins at home. I don't like donating to charities that are based in this country, I'd much rather give them my time like I have done in the past with a children's charity that's based down here called Dreadnought, I know that I've given those kids something to be happy about and be positive, no matter how shit their lives have been. Have met some truly fantastic kids who've come from really abusive homes (one family were forced to eat off the floor by their dad who eventually got jailed, the one girl in the family used to terrify me, but she turned out to be really lovely and had plans to become a social worker to help more people, she was just protective of her little brothers).

Chris - my leave is starting 6 weeks before baby is due, and I'm having my entire winter allowance of holiday before then which is 3 weeks, so I'll be off from 31 weeks I had 7 weeks off before Tegan, 1 was hols, 6 weeks mat leave, I was convinced she was coming early, nope 3 days late!

woohoo! I'm all caught up

Will start another post about what the dr said.....

 

[Rees]

Right, so I went to the docs, in a taxi driven by a foreign guy, thankfully Luke was there or I'd have refused to get in (don't like them, you never know what they're gonna do, guess I'm a bit paranoid, would love there to be a Pink Ladies here )

So we go in, the checks my spots and says yes, they look like chicken pox (no shit!) but then wants to pop one or two to get the gunk and send it off to be tested *sigh* bit painful!

She'd spoken to an obstetrician at the hospital who said these tablets would be fine, woohoo! And I'm now known by the local obstetrician, brilliant stuff.

We spoke about the crap I had yesterday and then I said I've been having cramps and that yesterday my discharge was tinged pink at one stage, hadn't had it before, not seen it since! And said I was worried about the baby.

She said she'd see if they had a doppler but then said that my 20 week scan would now be more indepth and with a consultant rather than a technician and it was gonna be at the hospital in Truro again and not the one up the road! So thats another day out in Truro! Hopefully I'll definately be able to find out the sex if it's gonna be that in depth

She found a doppler and I heard the heartbeat

So happy that it's still there, nice fast strong heartbeat Although bubs kept moving away and she had to chase it

Went to get my prescription from boots, kept getting weird looks, I wanted to turn round and shout "What, have you not seen chicken pox before on a pregnant woman, I'll just cough on you instead shall I?"

Fucks sake, felt like a leper....

So now I have tablets, woohoo, they're frigging huge! I'm so happy that I got to hear the baby's heart beat off to youtube to try and guess the sex...

Still feel really tired though, just wanna sleep

 

[Cherrybinky]

Leigh, I totally didnt know he'd studied there, it was 13 years ago apparently. My besty knew he was going to be in Leeds this week but didnt tell me, Im not amused with her lol.
Youre having a crappy time feeling ill and all At least youve been to get it sorted and got tablets AND heard the hb

I feel slightly better now, calmed down a bit, had a cuppa and chilled, last load of washing on and Asda shop all put away, although my nice tidy house is now a tip thanks to Isobel!!

[Rees]

The joy of kids lol

I feel so sleepy I nearly fell asleep reading what I'd missed there! My bed has become my favourite place

I'd not be very happy if a friend who knew how much I liked someone like that didn't tell me what they knew! Especially with them visiting!

My cousin lives up in London working for a music events company and is in the music management field and gets to hobnob with all the musical people. She was sat in a pub one night and Robert Pattinson (e.g RPattz/Edward from Twilight) was sat next to her! and she thought no difference of it!

I also saw on twitter that one of my fav authors (Keri Arthur) was in the UK on holiday, she ended up not too far away from me near Helston! I was working otherwise I'd have stalked her (she's Australian!)


Last night my mum said that on Tuesday night some guy came round and asked my dad if they had a black cat, my dad was in his undies so said we did but that it probably wasn't him that they'd found. Mum went round looking yesterday after work and they'd kindly taken him to the vets, he was lying in their back yard 2 doors up in the rain, so they brought him in and he wouldn't eat and they found a lump.

Mum went to the vets and heard his meow and knew it was him before she saw him. For ages he's only been coming in to eat and going off again, so mum knew something was up. He was jaundiced and looked like a liver problem, it wasn't their vets so they got him in the car and took him up to their vets, he sat on mums lap and didn't move just snuggled in

He stayed in overnight and was gonna have an ultrasound this morning. My dad rang at lunchtime to see how I was and how the docs went, which was unusual, and he told me that he got a phonecall from the vets, the result of the scan didn't look good, told dad to tell mum.

As I was writing the first part of the post mum text me, Gizmo's been put down. He was nearly 13, we've had him since I was 13, he was a lovely cat

I'm now lying here blubbing like mad

Mum had noticed Hamish aka Brian hasn't been himself, like he was worried for Gizzy, so now my parents have 1 cat (mine!) and the dog. Don't know how Brian is going to cope terrorizing the dog by himself

Sorry for the random outburst, but we've had that cat for half of my life He used to sleep in our beds, one day when I was sick I found him lying under my neck

They say things come in three's I'm dreading what the 3rd thing is gonna be

 

[xheartsx]

Hello ladies, sorry i have taken so long to post on here! As you know from facebook i am team PINK!! A lovely little princess I'm over the moon. The scan was great, saw her little kidneys and stomach and beating heart! She was sleeping, and only woke up at the end so we could see what she was (her legs were covering her bits!) so happy she did wake up though.

Went shopping and bought loads of cute stuff!!

I'm on cloud 9! Little Evelyn June Telfer

Hope you are all ok.

[Cherrybinky]

Im so sorry about your cat *sobs* Weve lost so many dogs over the years (and my cat) and its heartbreaking. One of my dogs Buster was a rescue and I took him from a damp, dark, conrete kennel at the dog warden shelter. He was 15 years old and his owner had died. He had cancer. I gave him 3 lovely months with us, walks in the sun, good food, lots of love and sadly several operations but one day his legs stopped working and he just looked so sad. I had to have him put to sleep. I was brave but Matt (one of my exes) sobbed all the way there and back. It was horrible but I knew it was for the best, his eyes told me so

Weve lost several of our pets to illness and its awful. HUGS

Isobel has been singing save the whales all day, I dont know where shes got it from but shes amusing me. I have headache and am sick of trying to crochet lol. Petes cooking lasagne for tea and Xander said he doesnt want pasta in his LMAO

[Rees]

Awwwww, lovely name Jade So pleased she opened her legs

 

[Rees]

rach I know it's for best, I said to my mum on the phone last night it might be the kinder thing to do rather than have to give him drugs every day

Tegan's home now so I've pulled myself together.

Those two kids sound so cute and amazing

 

[Tizy]

Hello again,

Firsly congrats Jade, I was looking at our list on page 1 of the thread last night and thinking I reckon Jade will have a girl based on the number of boys vs girls on scans so far, you've levelled it off a bit now. I'm so happy for you. I loved having my girl, it was like me and her against the world (at times) and it gave me all the courage I needed bringing her up as a young mum. You and Dougie will be great parents!

Leigh, Oh noooo, you're just not having a good time at the minute, so sorry to hear about your family cat, thats very sad Hope you feel better soon. You're right bed is a good place, comforting and warm. Thanks for your comments about the wine club, those girls aren't really my 'friends' I tried to 'get in with them' but you know how girls can be at times, I can't be bothered. I've got lots of other lovely friends they just live far away. So glad the hospital are doing a more in depth scan for you, I'm sure evrything will be fine. Try not to worry.

Rach - Awww what an ASS Pete's being!!! How dare he show you up like that! You're totally within your rights to have an opinion on this, I for one agree with you. Its all politics these days and yes I'm sure Pete has a point too, but at the end of the day I can understand how you meant it, there are loads of kids over here living in poverty that need our money too. Try not to get too stressed and tell Pete he's meant to help you stay calm, not get you rilled up!

You've made me giggle with your crocheting attempts , I have no patience for stuff like that! I dislike sewing as it is! Xander and Isobel come out with some right corkers don't they. So looking forward to having a little one in the house again. Holly will always be my baby, but she talks sense now and its not as funny!

Hi everyone else.

I got my hypnobirthing CD in the post yesterday and I really like it, i was so relieved that the lady speaking on it has an English accent (no offence Amy, but sometimes the american accent annoys me and I don't think it would have been very suitable for getting me into a relaxed state) . I've read the little book that comes with it and it all makes perfect sense, I just know in reality its not going to be THAT EASY!!!! In an ideal world, it would be best to stay at home, becuase you can create the perfect surroundings to help you relax at home, but I'm not sure Homebirth is for me, we'll see.

Han Xxx

 

[xheartsx]

Thanks everybody. I really am chuffed. I'm just glad she is growing away and everything is healthy.

I need to read through the posts, i have missed a lot!!

[Rees]

What is the best doppler? Best cheap doppler???

I think I now want one So I can check up on bubs

I can hear Tegs screaming outside playing with her sand she's so cute

Han - I'm not so worried now that I've heard the heartbeat, if anything happens to it then it was meant to be, odds are that bubs will be fine, if it's not we'll live with that.

They're rechecking my bloods to see if I was immune at the start of the pregnancy or not and checking them against Tuesday's bloods, so it'll be interesting to find out!

 

[pink sparkle]

Jade - so pleased that your scan went well yay for team pink...what did you buy nice? x

Rees - im glad that you will be getting a more indepth scan nice to know they are looking after you and hope the meds kick in soon and your feeling better, like you said odds are that everything will be fine. I dont have a doppler clueless about them but sounds like a good plan if it qive you some peace of mind x So sorry about your cat, ive always grown up with pets and to me its losing a member of the family big hugs x

Han - great that your finding the hypnobirthing cd a help wow could have another homebirther in our curvy ladies group x

Ive had a busy day done a big shop myself got that put away and sorted through the cupboards/fridge and freezer and sent my mum and dad a bag of food that has been in my cupboard/fridge/freezer for too long! Then done the housework (well downstairs still got to tackle putting the washing away (which i hate!). Ive been keeping ds awake during the day and had got him into a nice bedtime routine bed at 7 and straight into bed. I couldnt keep him awake today though and he fell asleep on the floor with his head on a toy bless him! I tried everything to wake him up even hoovered but without success. He ended up having an hour and then woke up in a really miserable mood was literally crying for an hour non stop and being over sensitive...very testing. He now seems to have perked up though thank god. Im feeling exhausted and wish i could curl up on the sofa and go to sleep x

 

[cranberry987]

Rees - Im planning on breastfeeding yeah, i wont be at all surprised if it takes a while to get preg because of the bf, but def wont be using any birth control!
Renting pools is super expensive too - they tend to be the higher end ones, so not much cheaper. Theres some on ebay, one for 99p atm in newport as ppl buy em and never use. so I might see if i can find something. Will be a pool in a box so not a top end one, but that doesnt bother me rly.
euw to popped pox :/ glad all is fine tho. hope you have an exciting day out in magical truro!
so sorry to hear about your cat, how nice of your neighbours to do that. Ive got 3 cats myself and only lost one at age 18, was devastated. Ours are 12 and 3 now and they are immortal I hope

jade - great news about the scan, perfect timing for her uncrossing legs! more importantly tho... did you get your McDonalds?!!


chris - im booking work in until october, november Ill see how I go tbh, if I can do even one day a week thats more than the maternity allowance I get so will be worth it. Might be working up to my due date!

rach - persevere with the crocheting, theres loads of vids on youtube if you get stuck. Theres some rly cool toys you can crochet (i knit rather than crochet and you cant rly do em) so Im going to learn how when I get more than 5 mins to myself where I can stay awake. Also have a look on ravelry.com theres some ace free patterns, its like facebook for knitting/crochet!

hannah - which hypnobirthing cd did you get? im going to a taster session on 12th aug, have no intention of booking onto the course but thought it would be good to get an idea of it all. I know what you mean about voices jarring. I had to do a CBT online course and I lasted about 5 mins, the voice just made me feel so uncomfortable, felt like the person was trying to creep inside my head or something

Ive had a loooong day. been interpreting some craap course about audiology so all technical bits of the ear etc and grommets. The team's OT is preggers and the Manager is ltttc (5yrs) so I try not to talk about baby things too much around her as I know how hurtful it is, but the OT kept bloody going on about pelvic floors and crap. Was trying to be polite but you gotta reply dont you.

Took a bump pic this morning - I feel huge (not that Im minding) still a bit of a B but I reckon itll be gone in a few weeks. https://www.flickr.com/photos/helenshingler/5960436756/
Not much else going on rly, oh I had work cancelled tmw afternoon and I still get paid for it but instead of sitting in a hot office I can sit on my arse on the sofa watching daytime tv!

 

[pink sparkle]

Helen fantastic bump! Its huge...im jealous! Yay for tomorrow - no work but pay! xxx
