July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[Sarah+]

Great to hear the scan went wel SJK

Good to hear from you Niki but sorry you're still suffering through

I think all the stretching pains are pretty normal Ellie. Just think of it as home extentions.

WL - glad the m/w put your mind at ease. Always better to ask than wonder.

How great to already have a job lined up Maybe! That's great

Honey - I can't thank anyone either??? I get this message saying it'a above my level?

Not much to report here. Feel chubby but not really pregnant at the moment. I stop my progesterone in four days, so once I'm done with that, assuming that doesn't cause any bleeding, it will hopefully be smooth sailing. Getting excited about finding out the gender!

bye xx

sarah- I know I was really lucky used to work for him for free so he said that was the best person for the job and we can work round the baby he a really good friend as well so really excited about our little one bless him.

glad that everything is ticking on good, Id love to get excited bout the sex but made a pack not to find out lol

 

[maybethistime]

Definate kick wooh Im loving this I know that its where I normally find the heart beat as well, it was really fate but I know it was lol xx right back to work lol

 

[godivalocks]

Anyone else on here already getting stretchmarks?

I am, and I find it very depressing. I know I'm going to be covered in them. And the sad thing is, I'm not that big. I know my waist is getting bigger because it's hard to button my pants, but it's not growing THAT fast.

When it REALLY starts to grow, I'm going to explode in stretchmarks.

No, not yet. It's prob because you're small that you're getting them already. The advice on what/if anything actually works is mixed, but I like bio-oil. They fade away afterwards anyway hun, so don't stress too much

 

[Elliebank]

Hi girls, hope yr all ok. Was just wondering if you'd decided whether you were having the triple test done at 16+1 for downs? I don't want it but my OH wants me to.

 

[whitelilly]

Hey, am having an off day, feeling really down and pissed off... got so much work to do and no motivation!!

Yep, having the bloods taken, OH wants them done too. xxx

 

[stressederic]

Hello all! haven't been on in while (AGAIN!!!) I'm knackered when I get home from work chat to kids for a bit then zonked. Had to finish early today had a consultant appointment, what a waste of time mw referred me cos BP been up, ? if I have a latex allergy, I had my son @36 weeks and have had a op on my hip!!!!. MY GOD I wanted to smack her in the chops, she spoke to me like I instigated the appointment and was I making a fuss!! I didn't even bloody want the appointment, she's put me in a right mood (not that it takes much at the mo)

I'm STILL puking most days and belly getting rounder!
Work says I have to get someone elses 2nd hand maternity uniforms cos mine are getting too tight the luxuries of the NHS

Hope all are well x x x

We decided that we didnt want it done its just a choice we made before we got pregs, if there is something wrong then we will let the chips fall where they will xx

 

[shelleylu]

Have bad tummy ache too. Wondering if its growing pains or something else? Keep getting tightening too. Just had a nasty one which took my breath.

I hate all the wondering and anxiety. But more than anything - I hate the sodding migraines!! 3 days pain free, now its back again. I could cry its so bad.

Ive gotta go now cause the screen isnt helping me, but wanted to drop by and say hello xx

Hope your feeling better soon, mine has lifted with a paracetamol and I can feel beany doing cartwheels

 

[godivalocks]

I'm on the verge of a headache now. It just feels like a throbbing in my head with every beat of my heart. It's actually a rather scary feeling.

 

[whitelilly]

Aww ladies... just go to bed! What are you doing networking when you have a sore head. **Slaps hands**

I have a different type of headache... it's called writing a research proposal! Grrrr. My job does my head in sometimes. Can't wait to go on mat leave actually Speaking of which, how far in advance of baby being born do you think you'll go off for? xx

 

[SJK]

I just got my letter today, my mat leave officially starts on 1st June 2009, Il be 35 weeks xx

 

[wishingonastar]

due to the training i need to complete in my job before i leave i need to last as long as poss so am aiming for mid june (about three weeks before baby due!!)

 

[Elliebank]

I work from home so I'm hoping to work till 2/3 weeks before baby due

 

[Sarah+]

Sorry to hear about all the sore heads and tums. I am just really tired as I can't sleep these days.

What's a triple test? I had a combined test, which was nuchal and bloods, but the dr said they were good, so that was it. What is the thrid stage?

Glad the appointment went well SKJ

Now - UK people
A completely non-baby question. Where is Surrey in relation to London? More particularly, Leatherhead/Horsley?? DH has to go to the UK on Sunday for two weeks I had a little temper tantrum, which we'll put down to hormones because I don't want to be alone for that long, and for him to miss the next appointment, so he suggested that I come too Kind of a babymoon, since he still owes me a honeymoon, as that was cancelled due to a business trip!!!
Now he just got an email saying that they're not going to be working at head office (which is somewhere in the centre of London) but at a conference centre in Horsley/Surrey So rather disappointed as I've never been to the UK and was really looking foraward to going. I gather there are trains I can catch up to London to do day trips, but how practical is this? i.e. how long would it take? Thanks

Have a great day everyone

 

[geogem]

Sarah+, Dont panic too much - this is just outside of London and as far as I can remember approx 30 miles to central London and there are train services that will take you there so it wouldnt take long. Dont take this as law tho as I am from Northern England and I am just remembering this from a previous visit.
