July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[NikiJJones]

You hear horror stories about women losing babies from the tiniest car bump, cos the seatbelt digs into them. I really don't want to risk it. We could be careful and anything, but if someone else does the bumping, how can you avoid that? My work did a risk assessment to avoid anything dangerous at work for me, so I reckon travelling there on roads that the Met office are calling "trecherous" counts!! Glad I'm not the only one feeling this way!

MW said not to to actually have sex cos of MC, and also cos I am so tiny "in there" and cervix might get too bumped. I've always had a problem with bleeding after sex ever since teenage, so think it is wise advice. Never mind: plenty of other stuff to do!!!

Wow, that really sucks. Welcome to club torment . Well, I guess that's nothing to really smile about. Just have to go with the flow.

I am just going to wait and see how the weather is tomorrow morning...

The good news is that I have got a bit of energy and think I can probably get a couple of hours work done just now. Got this research proposal to hand in on Friday! Bleurgh!

I have also discussed mat leave with my bosses. Thinking of stoppong on 3rd July and taking 2 weeks annual leave then starting my mat leave on Mon 20th (my due date is 25th). Do you think this sounds ok?

I was also planningon sitting the 2 major exams we have at the end of June but am worried I might be exhausted by the time I am 36 weeks pregnant!!!!

Re: the sex thing, I have cervical erosion and was told it's prob ok to have sex but that I will probably bleed. I don't want to bleed so I am avoiding it xx

Nikki - definitely don't go in tomorrow, it's not worth the risk. I'm lucky that I work from home most of the time so when I am supposed to go in (today) it's not a problem for me to say I'm gonna work from home. Even if I couldn't do that tho, I still wouldn't go in. I didn't go college tonight because of the snow, and will be a hermit all week if I have to!!!

I agree Snow Bunnies! You should all work from home tomorrow, quite seriously (some what more difficult for teachers though Niki!). So jealous! Not quite snow terrirtory here. I've only seen snow in person a couple of times. DH is still in Surrey and is taking lots of photos for me to bring home. He said everything just ... stopped... all his meeting were half empty as people just couldn't get in.

Oh, shelley. Hope you feel better soon

Gem - that is going to be one 'bright' room. Think it would give me a headache!

Niki - we're in the sex ban club too. I think even if the dr oked it, I wouldn't enjoy it as I'd be worried Lots of time for sex after the baby comes... well, maybe LOL! How's you m/s going? Close to gone I hope.

I feel good. Headaches gone. Those few days of m/s I got last week, thankfully didn't continue. While I don't look pregnant to strangers, I definately have a bump and I'm onto the rubberband method on even my baggiest trousers. Can't wait till I have a 'proper' bump. When DH comes home on Sunday, I'll be telling him the sex of the baby. I bought him a blue 'I love my Daddy' baby suit from MotherCare yesterday. So cute.

Have a great day!

[shelleylu]

Hey everyone!

Snow persists here.. I woke up to William coming in telling me what a wonderful glorious winter wonderland we had in our back garden, he has such a way with words - and like it was a suprise - we played in it all afternoon yesterday??!!

Aaaaaanyway. No school again, and no work for OH either. We have all got cabin fever - OH is still sick so cant do a lot - but the sun is shining!

Hope eevryone else is ok? Niki - did you go to work?? Hope you're careful if you venture out..

As for the sex ban we havent really bothered. My sex drive is still out the window too. Ive had these 2-3 seperate times when nothing can stop me - but most of the time I just cant be bothered. Im lucky to have an understanding OH really as I could see some men getting funny about it.... Its a horrible situation, as I dont really want to do the 'other fun stuff'.. Im a freak??!!!

Honey - Im still getting the headaches. I had a bad one last night. Full blown migraine. Still there a bit today too

Whitelilly - I love your dreams! I have been having some weird/horrid ones this last week. Honey is right though. Dreaming about inanimate objects are very very common. I had a dream the other night I had a boy and he was 5lb 5oz, and we named him and it was soo realistic. I was upset it wasnt a girl, and when I woke up I felt all weird about the boy/girl issue!! (ps, sory you are still ill xx)

Sarah - So pleased you;re feeling better
You should post a pic of the suit you're giving your OH, it sounds so sweet! I seriously cant wait to find out what we're having - Im sooo excited!!! I would like a bump now too please!! Mine is super high in the morning in bed, then little but very low during the day. No bump, but old skin from having William and lots of old stretch marks!!! I want a bump!!!

Right, I think its snowman day today. Have a look at my avatar pic if you can. My 2 boys in the local woods yesterday afternoon!

TTFN xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

No yr not a freak - I'm the same!! I'm waiting till I've got the ok on my cervix (going the hospital on Friday to get it checked out as I had laser treatment on it a few years ago), but even then not sure how I'll feel about getting down to it - I'll be nervous. I bet when we're all overdue though we'll be jumping on our other halves hoping it will bring labour on!!!

 

[maybethistime]

hey all,

everything has been going really good my end we had snow as well cleared a little this morning, Im feeling the baby more the past few days which is really exciting counting down days till my scan just over 2 weeks left yay cant wait.

Ive been really good finally found a topic for me reaserach project after changin it countless time lol, right better crack on chat soon enjoy ur days xx

 

[NikiJJones]

Hiya: School decided to close after all so I'm off the hook and didn't have to refuse to go in. My car is still under about 10 inches of snow right now, and I'm not digging it out. With any luck it will have thawed by tomorrow, as they are saying school will definitely be open then.
The sex thing: I'm the same as others: I know the liklihood is that I might well bleed and that would freak me out FAR too much, so not risking it. I just hope the high sex drive lasts for good, even after baby is born.
I think I felt baby move this morning. Last night was getting little thuds and flutters, but thought it was wind. This morning the same thing three times, so I am pretty sure it is baby now. Having said that, it has now stopped, so now convincing myself I imagined it!
I also have had a crashing headache for a few days now. Temp was a bit high yesterday so took some paracetamol. My headache is mainly around my left eye. Think it might be my sinuses, as I am sneezing a lot. Feels like I coudl drill a hole just above my eye and it would relieve it, if that makes any sense.
Weird dreams: yep: plenty here! Too many to even start into!

 

[maybethistime]

haha didnt realise i just gone up a box as well yay

 

[Elliebank]

My "baby k" clothes arrived today, totally gorgeous

 

[Elliebank]

Morning ladies, how are you?

I've had a sore neck for the last few days - thought it was cos I'd slept funny but it never normally lasts this long. I've just googled it & it does appear it could be to do with being pregnant, cos yr body is getting ready for the baby & everything is moving.... Does anyone know anything about this? Have any of you got a sore neck? Am at m/w on Mon so will ask her too.

Last night my OH was feeling my bump & the top of the bump (near my belly button) was quite hot & the bottom was cold - so he decided that the baby was at the top!!! And he kept calling it 'he' - so looks like he thinks it's a boy!!

 

[SJK]

Hi girls, hope you are all well

EB, hope your neck is better soon xx
