Cheryl sorry your scar is sore, I hope it's not an infection and I hope the meds work for Leo xx

What self tan do you use Cheryl?

Yay for having your independence back bailey and that's so funny about your df Nope no plans for the weekend yet but might rearrange dinner with friends that got postponed last weekend. Have you got any nice plans now that you are back driving? Xx

Cupcake yay for having some time off work soon and for not having to cook tonight, I'm waiting for hubby to get home and we are having burgers. Zach might be having a growth spurt making you even more tired at the mo?? I'd love a holiday somewhere hot but as I've got to keep out of the sun there's no point, so I was thinking a nice trip to Italy or somewhere like that and visit some vineyards etc

 

[cupcake1981]

That sounds nice mrs d. Just be nice to get away! Maybe little guy is having a growth spurt, or maybe ill just be tired for the next 17 weeks!!

Hey ladies

Cheryl I hope you had a good night with Leo. I told you Millie sleeping all the way through was a fluke, she woke at 3.30am and kept crying so was up with her til 5am!

Mrs d yay for the weekend for you! Hope you manage to rearrange that meal. Almost the end of your working day and week!
I'm going to my parents for Sunday lunch, hoping that my df is off this Sunday as he has been the last three, but you can guarantee he won't be off this one coz we have plans!

Cupcake I bet it seems like forever for you til mat leave, it did for me! But not too long to go now.

 

[cupcake1981]

It does seen like forever bailey, I'm going to get my letter all written up next week and book my leave so I can start my countdown!!!

Are you doing much today?

I have has a headache since last night and still have it now , my friend was supposed to be coming round tonight, I'm gonna have to cancel her

 

[baileybubs]

Not up to much now. Been to the docs for my 6 week post natal. My bp is still higher than it was pre-labour lol, and my iron is still low but I'm refusing to take the iron tablets lol, I'm gonna take pregnacare instead.
Weird thing though, I am finally allowed on the pill and have got cerazette (mini pill coz I'm not allowed the combined pill due to bp) which can lead to irregular spotting or even no bleeding/period at all. Well I took my first tablet at 11am and now I'm bleeding! Do you think it's the cerazette causing it or its just coincidence that af came today? It can't have worked that quickly surely??

 

[cupcake1981]

Coincidence surely. I was on cerazette b4 I stopped taking the pill to ttc, well to ttc and also cos it made me feel horrid!!! I used to get headaches and nausea and generally feel pants on it, kinda just you feel when your only just Pregnant!!

 

[baileybubs]

That makes sense coz cerazette is just progesterone isn't it? I hope it doesn't make me feel too bad, I don't like the idea of the injection or the implant.

 

[cupcake1981]

I also hardly had periods on it, like one day and that was it. So don't worry if they go away!

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah the doctor said that might happen. Or just irregular bleeding. It feels weird going back on the pill. Big part of me really doesn't want to but I know I have to wait til we can ttc again. Still feels wrong though coz I know I definitely want another baby, seems strange to be preventing that if you know what I mean.

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah it's a change of mindset isn't it. I'm dreading going back on the pill and having all those false hormones, but not sure what other options there are! Ill defo want more than 1 baby, but hubby has said that even if we have 3 kids hell NEVER get the snip, so preventing babies will be down to me! Or maybe ill make him use condones and see how he feels about the snip then!

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah I think I'll be getting df to have the snip if he's willing but I'd be ok having about 3 kids so will just have to see how I feel then lol.
I'm thinking I'll take the pill for a year and then come off and use condoms for a few months before we ttc again, depending how long we want to wait. I keep thinking that I'd like to have a mortgage and our own house first but in this economy it could take several years for us to save for a deposit!

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah best to let it come out of your system properly, so many people seem to come off the pill and then miscarry. I stopped it in the sept we and fell pregnant first time in May and even that gap wasn't enough for my body to have totally sorted itself out!

Leaving work at 3 as its summertime Friday hours now, gonna go straight to bed, feel so poo!!

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah I came off the pill a month before my first bfp that I then went on to miscarry too, which is why I don't like the idea of taking it at all but as long as I make sure we use condoms for a few months hopefully should be ok.

Yay for finished for the weekend, sorry you are feeling so poo Hun, go home and snuggle in bed or on the sofa under a duvet. It's pants weather here, big rain clouds that just make you wanna put the fire on and snuggle lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw cupcake I'm sorry you feel so bad, I hope a rest on the sofa will make you feel better x

Bailey I hope your df has Sunday off so that you can all go to dinner x
I hope it was just a one off that Millie woke up crying x

I thought the same about the pill and came off it 6 months before ttc but still mcd so I wish I hadn't bothered waiting, I believe there isn't a proven link anyway

The weather is gorgeous here today and its forecast to be nice all weekend yay

 

[baileybubs]

Aw I hate living up north sometimes, it's always raining lol! I'm sure they should use the term "cloudy and miserable" when describing the weather up here, apparently we are due heavy rain tomorrow which sucks coz that means I can't really take Emilia and Bailey out for a lovely walk like I wanted to grrrr.

What I should do tomorrow is start writing my book (or continue should I say). My best friend reckons I should write about the taboo of miscarriage. I have already started my ideas for my fictional book though about dementia.

 

[MrsDuck]

I remember your book idea it sounded great, it would be fantastic if you could get it published. That's pants about your weather, it's only since being on bnb that I've realised how much better our weather normally is down south compared to up north

Have you written much of it yet?
