Lucky thread

Not unless I get df to shave them for me haha! Which I do not like the idea of. I struggle just getting my trousers and socks on so god knows how I'd cope if I tried shaving, especially round the backs of my ankles etc

Yeah it should be the bloods from your booking appt. They will have stuck a load of results sheets in your pregnancy notes which will show haemoglobin levels, evidence of infections etc, iron levels and stuff.

 

[MrsDuck]

you girls made me chuckle xx

Yay for getting to wee in a cup tomorrow cupcake. I'm sure all is fine with your bloods otherwise they would have called sooner xx

Boo for not being able to shave your legs bailey, how about letting df loose with an electric shaver? I'm glad your nanas funeral went well and that's lovely about your cousin and her little girl xx

I'm just waiting to check the ice cream hasn't done anything then I'll give Lactulose a go but at least hubby went to get it so the chemist will think its for him haha

Not doing much today, just trying to sort out all my stuff I brought back but keep needing to sit down as I've got no energy

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey what about getting them waxed by a pro? Wgat kind of infections are they looking for? My mw didn't explain anything about anything to me at my booking appntment!

Mrs d I hope you can poo soon love , I got a bit of trouble that way myself today but that's probably cos there's nothing in me!!

 

[baileybubs]

Make sure you rest and relax mrs d, your body has endured so much the last few weeks!

Oooh I just realised its after 2pm already, df should be home for his break soon so he can hoover lol, its been driving me bonkers that my rug is full of Bailey fur! But I just cant bring myself to hoover myself, I'm knackered and keep getting Braxton hicks!

 

[baileybubs]

I cant do waxing, my skins so sensitive that it goes all red and bumpy so I'm just gonna leave it, no-ones gonna care really are they? I'm sure I wont care when I'm in labour lol (either that or I'll give it a go shaving them in the shower, but I dont wanna do it too soon and it grow back haha!).

Just had a look at my notes cupcake and I was tested for;
- my haemoglobin levels
- Hepatitis B
- HIV 1+2
- Rubella
- my blood group
- Sickle cell
- Thalassemia
- Syphyliss
- antibodies against rhesus positive (coz I am rhesus negative)

Bailey I'm sure you won't be the First Lady to give birth with hairy legs!

Ah thanks for the info, like I say she's not explained anything to me, ill see how she is at this appointment and if I'm still not happy then I'm gonna see if I can switch mws, but then I know if info that shell be on duty when I go in to give birth... Awkward!

Bailey make sure he does the hoovering! I've not done any hoovering since preg my hubs won't let me!

 

[baileybubs]

He's doing it for me now cupcake lol. Apparently he's had his phone on loud all day at work coz he's convinced I would phone him saying I'm in labour. I think my little trip to the hospital on Thursday was a bit of a reality check for him and he's realised that this may happen very soon! Plus I was convinced a few weeks ago that she would arrive today coz its the anniversary of my miscarriage.

I have had a different MW every appointment cupcake, except one of them I think I managed to have 2 or 3 times lol.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Omg bailey!! That's insane! Please keep us updated, we need to know whether we are expecting our next lucky baby or not!!!

Cupcake, I think a lot of women have your same fears hun. I personally never minded dtd while pregnant and did it often with no cramping or spotting, but I think a lot of ladies feel nervous so you go with whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Plus, nowadays it hurts for me (which is strange!) and dh is a bit put off by how big she is and feeling her move etc so I think we will be waiting till after from now. So we do other things to keep that intimacy, iykwim

Cath, yay for extra profit!!!! And I really hope it's just early for you still chick!

Amy, your sleep is precious right now, as you haven't gotten much lately! Maybe a bit of afternoon delight on the weekend while Emily is napping if you are up for it is a good solution?

Afm, scan went well. Baby has evened out a bit and is now 60th percentile on her head and 75th on tummy. So slightly bigger than average, but I feel like she's right where she should be. I could see her surprisingly well today and confirmed thy she is definitely a she, so that is good!! Lol

Yay for scan going well today Tawn! Exciting!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Bailey, glad you are okay! Make sure you take it super easy!!

Tawn, glad you had a good scan and that Maddie is still Maddie and doing well!!

Cath, sore boobs is a great sign, fingers crossed for you! That's good you got the discount and can make a better profit!

Cheryl, can't wait to see the collages and the nursery! Good your furniture will come soon!

Cupcake, how's the sickness today?

Shellie, Ttc, MrsD, and Anyone else I missed- hope you're okay.

hanging in there...

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hey ladies!

Sorry for keeping you all waiting today but didn't really know what was going on lol. They monitored my bp over a couple hours, it's went down to 130/90. Then they put me on the monitor for Millie's heartrate and movements as well as monitoring my stomach tensing (contractions). Millie is very happy and fine, I was getting "contractions" every 5-10 mins but they were just BH I think (or they felt like what I normally call BH!!).
Had bloods taken and got the midwife coming out on Monday.

And that's the story of my day lol!!

Tawn - so glad everything looked ok on Maddie's scan!! And glad you got a good look at her!

Cath - those dummies sound a great idea!

Cupcake - how's your day been?

Amy - are you getting more rest Hun?

Cheryl - have you got a countdown ticker for your c section yet? Will they scan you again before they do it just to check that he's still breech?

Shellie - I hope O comes soon for you Hun so you can get down to catching that eggy!!

Hope everyone else is ok!!

So glad to hear everything is ok!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Bailey I'm glad all is good and I'm sticking with Millie arriving next weekend, your Easter bunny! xx

Tawn I'm glad you got a good look at maddie, not long to go xx

Cath did I miss the answer?? Can you start and finish work early? xx

Amy I'm glad Emily is starting to get into a routine allowing you more sleep xx

I hope everyone else is having a good day.

Afm we went to go on the emirates cable car by the O2 today but the damn thing is closed that was a waste of time and energy but on the plus side one zap left yay xx

yay for only one zap left! i bet that makes you happy.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

im hoping for my bfp this month i had two mc last yr n im on cd 25 (5dpo) im feeling sick n tired had a bit of pain on left side this morning but think im going to be disappointed 9 day wait now n im going to go insane!

hi girl...i hope you get your BFP too!!! Sorry for your miscarriages last year. They are the worst. I've had two official ones myself. Try to do some fun stuff these next 9 days to distract you or put your attention somewhere else. Good luck sweetie.

 

[baileybubs]

How are you doing ttc? Hope you are ok and resting up xxxxxx

I'm gonna stick a load of stuff on ebay later, just to see how it all goes and see if I can make a few quid just to help keep us ticking over the next few weeks. Although I'm worrying I will sell stuff on ebay then wont be able to post it coz I'll go into labour haha!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

girls I'm feeling soo upset right now.

I feel horrible for how I feel but I can't help it. Remember my cousin who I told you all about months ago that I got all upset about when she announced when she was pregnant when she wasnt even trying? Well I got over it and she had her beautiful baby boy in December. But then today she calls me saying there may be a problem with the bridemaid dress we ordered for her because she pregnant AGAIN! I tried to be nice on the phone with her, but the second I got off the phone DF asked me if I was ok, and I just starting balling He held me and I cried and he said it'll be ok, that it'll happen for us, but all I feel like is its not f**king fair. We've been trying for nearly a year and a half, and she isn't even trying and BOOM pregnant!! I just want to crawl in a hole. I was doing so well, and now this I feel like I am never, ever going to be a mom. All i want to do is cry.

Oh honey, that's totally understandable! It sucks so bad when we hear things like this...like it's just never going to be our turn or work out for us...but it WILL. we have to continue believing that. Hang in there sweetie and I'm sorry.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Secret09, I am so sorry for your loses hun. And what an awful thing for your coworker to say to you!!! I'm hoping this thread brings you lots of luck, but I know for certain it will bring you tons of support because the ladies on here are amazing.

Shellie, IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!!! Don't feel bad for the way you're feeling, you have been so patient for so long for your rainbow to arrive and it is definitely not easy just in general, never mind having to watch others get pg around you. hun, I truly hope this is THE cycle!!

Amy, yikes!!!!! Sounds awful thanks for the heads up hun! I'm also glad you're still getting your free sessions, but is there any way to switch to the more experienced counselor?

Cheryl, haha yoknow you're nesting when you are that excited for a mop to show up!!!! You're house must be SO clean by now!!!!

Mrsd happy going home day!!! What time is your last treatment, and your flight?

Morning, cupcake, bailey cath ttc!!!

Afm, those damn cats are at it again. Screeching outside my bedroom window CONSTANTLY since 4am (I am not exaggerating!) even though dh has gotten up and chased them off twice. Soooo, I'm a bit tired this morning and less than loving towards the general feline population lol

Morning Tawn!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Ladies I think I either have a bug or food poisoning, since 10pm last night I have been back and forth to the bathroom with either sickness or diorahhea. I feel so weak and even the water I'm sipping I think I'm gonna throw up. I'm so worried for my baby will it hurt it? Sorry for selfish post I'm to weak and tired x

oh no, i hope you are ok and feel better soon! ugh!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

MrsD !!!!!!!!!!! WWWOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I bet you cant wait to get home and jump in your own bed.....with DH!! WWOOHOOO!!

Nope BFFN from me hun, im feeling very shitty too so i think im going to be a bit quiet this weekend

Cupcake I hope your feeling better hun xxx

Ugh...just so sorry and annoyed for you Cath.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Ttc how are you doing hun, stupid question I know. I hope you are still very positive and hopeful for the future x

hi...i'm hopeful but just still so sad. i really don't know how long this "getting over it" will take...i cry every day. I think once we start the extensive blood work i'll be doing better because i'll feel like something is happening...you know? right now it's just waiting time...waiting for my number to get to 0 and waiting is just the worst no matter what. but thank you all so much for your continued support. it means the world to me.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Cath sorry for your bffn xxx

Cupcake yay for being an orange, and glad you are feeling a little better xx

Ttc big hugs hun, I hope the big dark cloud lifts a little soon xx

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend xxxxxxx

Afm I had a fantastic nights sleep in my own bed, it's great to be home but now have all my stuff to sort out, wash and put away oh and to make things worse I can't poo I think it's down to the morphine. Not even vanilla ice cream is doing the trick so I've sent hubby to the chemist

so glad you're home and in your own bed MrsD. Sorry about the constipation though...try apple juice.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

The funeral was as well as could be mrs d, it was sad and hard but was nice to see how loved she was and the whole family there.

I did get to meet my cousins little girl who is 7 months old and she was just gorgeous! My cousin's first daughter died at birth a couple if years ago because she had problems breathing and she didn't get enough oxygen so it was lovely to see her so happy with this little rainbow. She's also said she'll give me a load of stuff for Millie coz her lg is growing out of a lot of stuff now.

Has the sickness subsided now cupcake?

I'm not doing anything today, just relaxing, I was so tired yesterday, it's getting hard just to go out of the house now lol! Plus the snow is keeping me in, I wouldn't drive in it so I'm glad I have nowhere to go lol!!

oh i love hearing that about your cousin getting her little girl after such a tragedy like that. makes me smile.
