Hiya ladies. I bought some acupressure wristbands and actually had 4 sick-free days! Miracle! Today have been a bit pukey again, but only off and on. I can cope with one in 5 days I guess.
Into my maternity wear full time now. I demanded that work told the parents, basically saying that if they didn't, I would just start wearing maternity wear anyway and then it would be obvious. My class are all so excited for me, and all the parents. I knew they would be. The management of my school are so old fashioned sometimes!! We were all boys public school until 8 years ago, so that is why I think. They have not adjusted fully yet!

hello can't believe it's sunday night and back to work already in the morning.... boooo.
just been round at my sister in laws for dinner... her boyfriend cooked us a Burns supper cos we're Scottish! I only had a wee bit of haggos though as wasn;t sure if I was allowed it. Just had neeps and mash though and a chicken breast.... mmmmm THEN had warm custard with a caramel shortcake slice in it. Most I have eaten in one go in ages and I feel so full now! Bump quite hard!

Still got the cramps a bit, they're quite constant but low level. Been taking paracetamol once a day for the past three days. No more spotting for the minute, hurrah!

I am desperate for a bigger bump and for my baby to move and for me to see/feel it... when will that be? xxx

 

[honey08]

i feel same whitlilly,im sure ive defo got a bump there just looks a little more b4 i was pg

Sometimes I have a full on bump, then other times hardly anything. My 'fat' clothes are getting too tight now, so I'll have to buy some proper stuff. So tired today. Went to bed at 11 and got up at 8, so that's plenty of sleep, but the problem is I spent at least half of that time awake. I wake up every few hours for no reason

It's funny when I use the doppler now. I hear the heartbeat really easily, but then this series of thumps and wacks! It is very loud and actually hurts my ears! I guess that's baby for "Stop poking me!" LO was way over to the left this morning. Funny... a lot lower than my bump Guess it must be a food bump!

Good luck with the m/w Maybe and Shelley Glad you've found some relief Niki

good morning ladies

whats everyone up to today?

im going to go into town and do a bit of shopping i think, i know its still early but im starting to get bits in for baby now, all those little things that you forget you need!

i got some muslin squares and a changing matt last week from ikea, the matt is great, its plain white but you can buy some towelling covers that pop over it so no cold plastic and covers can go in the wash.

last week i seen a baby sling in tkmaxx for £19 and they got some really good bargains in there so going to have a nosey in there aswell.

i know this sound mean but when i had my others i was all about getting everything to match, everything had to be in the same theme and colour but im really not bothered this time, just lookin out for bargains this time!

hope everyone has a nice day xxxx

Hi there ladies,
Well I too am in maternity wear full time now!! Got some great bargains from peacocks on Saturday - maternity jeans for £15 and Black trousers for just a tenner.

Well I have to travel to norfolk tomorrow for a family funeral - not looking forward to it at all!! but hey - the lovely old man got me a day off work!! bless him.

I am feeling really good at the mo!! cough is still here but not as bad as last time, and I think having a pyjama day yesterday really helped!!

Niki - really glad school have let everyone know and you can show your bump with pride - glad the m/s has eased a bit aswell, you seem to be due some good luck in this pregnancy.

well better get back to work

ttfn!!

 

[maybethistime]

Gem I got my jeans from peacocks for £16 and a top as well, I think I need to get some more stuff tho,

Midwife went good she didnt offer to listen to smuge's heart beat but I have me doppler at home so not really that bothered, she felt me tummy said baby was growing in right place just bellow me belly button

Think she thought I was a bit crazy that I said I already started feeling little flutters she said dont really feel first till 20 weeks felt a little silly lol (seeing as I was really excited) So I said i know it was def not gas lol. she is not me proper midwife as mine was off sick so Im very happy about that lol

Nikkip glad they finally let you screm it from the roof tops, glad the bands working, I got hit this morning with the sickness lol

Nikki have fun buying a few things for baby, me nan and me mum got me a suit case full of stuff from adams before it closed in stevenage so Ill put off getting mine till april lol but we did get some booties from mother care that said "made with love" they were to cute couldnt resist lol.

Yay, so you can laugh at the doppler you have at home for giving u so much worry, I say bin it and laugh as u do, becuase if you sell it someone else might have the same problem and go through the same thing.

So glad everyhing is good

 

[honey08]

lol im defo selling it ! wot i cant understand is how only the other day a ladie said she heard hers at just 9wk5days...same doppler aswell

[maybethistime]

i got a pair of jeans, a pair of black trousers, a lovely black and silver top and a gorgeous cardigan all for £49!!!

it was excellent - could'av gone mad!!

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls!

Well all went well at MW> Bit boring really as she only took my blood pressure and signed my notes! - SHe did put her magic sonicaid on though and me and OH got to hear our LO!! Its the first time - even with all the scans we havent heard it till now!

MW was ok, but a bit of a misery. Ive only ever met a nice one once!!
Maybe - My MW said to me today that I'll be feeling movements from now on. I said I have already for a few weeks and she wasnt shocked. She said it totally depends on the lady, how responsive they are to thier bodies and how much time they dedicate to listening out for it!! She said some ladies go in at 20+ wks and say they havent felt anything - but they havent been looking out for it!! So ignore that horrid lady you saw today!! She also said its normal to go a while and not feel anything after you've had mvement. Phew!

Honey - Im so pleased you got to hear your HB too. Its such a nice feeling knowing everything is ok!!! I agree - sell your doppler - quickly!!

Sounds like you girls are having a blast with the bargains!! Im in the process of selling junk on ebay at the minute. Fingers crossed I get some good bidders!!!!

Probably back later or in the morning. Hope everyone is well xxxxxx

[godivalocks]

I guess I'm doing okay today. Had some sharp pains in my abdomen that just lasted a few moments then subsided.

Other than that, I'm just bored. It's rainy and nasty out, and don't really have anything to do.
