July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[NikiJJones]

I HAD to have coffee EVERY morning! For YEARS! I switched to decaf a couple of years ago, cuz I was tired of the caffiene headaches if I didn't have it on time. Suddenly, about 3-4 days ago, I went off it entirely! Now can't stand the thought of drinking it. I never thought that would happen!

I've even gone RIGHT off all my lovely herbal and fruit teas I used to drink, so it's not even a caffeine thing with me. Just aversion to hot drinks. I also have gone off porridge which I used to LOVE and eat about twice a day. Mind you I did bring it back up a few times, so that might be why.

 

[wishingonastar]

yeah know what you mean girls...i'd already switched to decaff whilst TTC but now i just don't fancy hot drinks at all! am living on water, fruit and barley squash or fruit juice!

i've got into ready salted crisps at the mo...particularly pringles cos its such a mild easy to eat flavour!

 

[samzi]

[SJK]

goo dmorning girls, did you all have a good weekend ?

shelleylu, would you add my scan to page 1, 22nd dec ? thanks xx

 

[elley_baby248]

Well on friday i went to see the MW thankfuly not my proper one because she was a total bitch. Basically saying am to fat to have a healthy baby or be a good mum! Nice thing to tell a woman pregnant with her first and already doubting everything! She even sent me to the hospital to take my blood because she said she couldnt find a vein! You could see them as clear as day! BITCH!!! Now i feel rotten and guilty about everthing that i eat or drink and keep having to ask my OH if i'm gonna be a good mummy!

Oh and she said i had to have more scans than most because it's hard to tell growth in an overweight person! She really has pissed me right off!

 

[nervouspains]

!!! Elley!
Whata cow! Ignore her!
When I thought i was having trouble conciving because after 2 months nothing lol, i went to a fertility clinic and she was like, well if you are over weight, you need to lose weight and eat yourself pregannt... haha what i didnt know was, i was already pregnant! So up theres i say!
Plus my mum is a larger then life lady shall we say, and she has had 5, including twins!
so its not always about weight!!
People who think that really get my goat sometimes! lol
xxx

 

[elley_baby248]

My mum is a big woman and she had my bro and me perfectly fine she even told my mum she was fat at my appt!

She turned around and said what are you goin to do if your toddler runs out towards the road and your to unfit to catch them! Erm well excuse me am a size 20 am not a friggin beached whale and i've managed with all the other kids i've looked after i don't think am goin to be any different with my own!

 

[TigerLady]

Oh, hon! I am so sorry your midwife was so horrid! I hope you told her off!!!

Don't let that guilt you into not eating!! The baby needs it. When I went to the OB, I wouldn't let them tell me my weight because I didn't want to freak out about gaining so much! I can't let myself worry about how much I gain right now.

I am sure you will be a great mum! I have no doubt you'd save your baby from that street!

 

[Lyns]

Not a good day for me. My scan has shown my baby died about 4 or 5 weeks ago, and I have to go for a D&C tomorrow.

I'm sorry ladies, I have to leave you.

 

[TigerLady]

OMG! Lyns, I am so very sorry!!!! How terrible... I am so so sorry!

We are here for you if you need to talk/cry/vent.

 

[geogem]

OMG Lyns!!! I am soooooo sorry poppet, I cannot comprehend how upset you must be but I want you to know my thoughts are with you.

Sending you lots of love and hugs sweetie.

 

[geogem]

Well ladies after the horrid news from Lyns I think I will leave it until tomorrow to talk about me and update you.

Nothing really to report as such just a chatter - will see you tomorrow.

xx

 

[Lyns]

Girls...I'm slowly but surely getting my head round this....it's horrible but one of those things. I truly hope you all have wonderful pregnancies and look forward to updates from each and every one of you.

Now get on and natter about your good news xxx

 

[Elliebank]

[shelleylu]

Hi girls.

Firstly, I am so sorry to hear that news Lyns - honestly, its such a sad time - I wish I could do something to help. Sending you and your OH bigs hugs. Please remember we're here if you want to chat about anything xxxxx

Have not got the greatest news myself. I have come down with the evil lurgy going around, as well as my infection. I have been in bed for 3 days solid. I just cant move. Last night I went to the toilet and when I wiped there was bright red blood streaked CM. I havent had any bleeding at all, so am very anxious about this. When I m/c in September the only sign was pink CM (I had it a few days before my scan showed no HB around the time my LO had gone at 9 weeks) I have felt very disconnected the last few days too. Almost like I have lost something. I have my scan on Monday, and I honestly cant see there being anything there. I am prepared for the worse.

This thread has taken a bit of a sad turn, but I do hope everyone else is doing well and avoiding the germs and nasties this season brings.

XXXXXX

 

[curiosa]

hello....
I just realised I haven't joined this group yet!!
I guess it's probably cause I don't have an EDD yet, as not sure how far I am, but pretty sure it's a July baby (first half of July).
I know some of you already - nice to meet you everyone !!

(oh yeah, my BFP was 5th Nov)

 

[Saxogirl]

So sorry lyns

 

[Lanyloo]

Oh Lyns, I'm so so sorry. I've been in the same situation earlier this year so if you want to chat or have any questions about D&C or anything at all, please pm me.

You and your other half are in my thoughts. Take care of each other.
