And I think they’re going to see so many women go the unassisted route that they’ll have to alter their guidelines. There’s only so far you can push people. And it’s dangerous to try to control society to these extremes. People will rebel, and sometimes in unhealthy ways. We see this in our kids all the time. Haha!

@MrsKatie i know what you mean. It’s awful but I’m just so fed up of it now. However.... it’s been a great excuse not to see people as I’m usually go out for week drinks with friends quite a bit and now I’m just using local lockdown as an excuse! Miss seeing my friends haha. Haha... I’m not massively irritable but when I want something... I don’t beat around the bush as much. Especially if I’m feeling nauseous and someone is faffing about and wasting my time or getting in between me and food! Haha

@doggylover thank you. It’s been short but sweet :) my boyfriend is trying to fit in lots of holidays and use all our vouchers from cancelled trips before the baby is here so got a few more coming up. I don’t have the energy I usually do! Aww that’s such a shame about New Zealand and the wedding. Will they be able to reschedule and if so will it work around the baby? Haha you take the English names... and we can take the Irish ones. I think there’s loads of lovely Irish names and I like some french names too but I feel like I we have no like or reason to. I like Connel and Amelie. I may change my mind depending on how much we like them :)

I really like Amelie. We considered it last time but my niece is Emily so it’s far too similar. They haven’t rescheduled their wedding yet but are thinking April 2022, so the baby would be almost 1. Whether we can afford to fly all 6 of us out there is another matter (it was cheaper this time as my current youngest was under 2 so a much cheaper fare). We’ll see.

OMG I hear you! The "response" to this virus will end up affecting more people than the actual virus!

I am absolutely livid that my partner can't come to my scans. Also, I had to go to A&E on Friday because of a scare (a bleed) and they wouldn't let him through the door, even though we live together. That is simply cruel. I had to wait for 2 hours all alone, scared stupid something was horribly wrong and he was alone, at home, doing the same. Surely, common sense and actual risk assessment will prevail soon or we'll ALL end up in a far worse state down the line.

I understand SOME covid restrictions. But largely I just think the world has gone freaking mad. Like common sense and human compassion and empathy have totally gone out the window.

You know how back at the start of 2020 we all thought it would be long gone by now? Well I keep thinking by next April it’ll be ok, but what if it isn’t? I’m already panicking that my kids won’t be able to come and see me in hospital. I’ve never been away from them for more than 24hrs, and that was last time I was in hospital giving birth. They came to visit so it broke it up. If I have to be away from them for more than 2 whole days I will be absolutely devastated.
 
@doggylover omg I know, at first the governor said the bars had to close for 4 weeks and I was panicked about THAT. And now it’s been almost 6 months. I just don’t understand this. And it also feels like the longer people can’t dine or drink indoors the worse it’ll be when/if we ever DO reopen cause people will be so conditioned to be paranoid!

I know; I’ve thought about that too, about the kids visiting in the hospital. I just have no idea. But at the same time, it might not make a lot of sense having them all visit. It was one thing having one or 2 kids visiting a baby. But last time having 3 kids visiting the baby felt chaotic and I felt stressed. I think having all 4 might be really hard. Especially because those early postpartum days I tend to be on edge and get weepy and overwhelmed really easily so I sort of treasure that time away just me and DH and baby. I adore my kids and hate being away from them but that is a unique circumstance. That’s part of why I haven’t ever really considered a home birth- I LIKE being somewhere else and waited on for a day or 2, with someone else caring for big kids. I have had all drug-free births and I’m super into the crunchy natural birth vibe but I just like to be in the hospital when it happens!
 
@WannaBMamma7 I haven't bought the bra yet, I will be very soon though as its getting worse.

This covid business is really getting on my wick. I think some common sense needs to be applied. From the same household, sanitised, face covering on, job done. Why should they miss out on the only parts that they can actually participate in. Its cruel.

I had a total flip out meltdown today. We were on a single track lane and a car was coming the other way. I had to reverse up (a long way). The puppy was squealing in the back of the car, DH kept making remarks about my driving. So In front of everyone I screamed ah DH, stopped the car and got out :rofl:. He ended up driving proper diva meltdown. I blamed the hormones.

It was lovely here today, I'm in the south west England and the sun was shining. Im ready for autumn now though. Heating and fluffy pjs :dance:

Aww lovely scan pic ladies. I cant wait to see mine, it feels like ages away yet.

I have a question for you all. What's your take on sex during early pregnancy? We haven't done it yet as I've been quite crampy and just dead tired but I also worry about it.

Whatever you feel comfortable with. Personally (and I know some people will think this is really weird) I just don’t feel comfortable having sex at all during pregnancy. For a lot of reasons, at the minute I feel so sick I can’t think of anything I wanna do less than have sex. But in general, it just isn’t for me. It’s perfectly safe, but some women do experience spotting or cramping afterwards just to let you know. I know my husband is keen to, but that’s just too bad for him!


So my banner says baby is the size of a sprinkle. How can something so small make me feel SO SICK?

My boyfriend has been quite stressed lately with work so he’s not wanted it but he’s wanted it loads on this holiday but I’m wary that I’m getting thrush from these antibiotics so we’ve crazily been using condoms hahaha.

i don’t mind doing it but he understands if I’m crampy or not feeling well. I’ve just heard it’s good to do it and I want to make the most of it before my first labour! Haha
 
Thanks so much ladies I spotted with my last 2 aswell it really is scary no matter how much :( still spotting here and there they just told me to keep an eye on it, as for having sex we have a couple times but tbh I really haven't been in the mood for it :shrug: xx
 
Pregnancy sex is pretty much my favorite thing ever...

I have spotted afterwards and with my first I bled a ton after sex, so yes you do have to be aware that can happen and it is so scary but it’s totally normal!
 
Thank you for the input ladies. I might give it a go when the cramping calms down. Not keen on the sound of bleeding, I'll let him know that may happen, may put him off :rofl:

I've not had any sickness. I guess i should be happy about that
 
With Heidi i was obsessed with sex if he didn't give me it I would think he didn't find me attractive anymore :dohh: I got to the point if he hadn't touched me in a week I'd get pissed with him :blush: :rofl: now I'm at the point where I tell him to piss off atm :haha: xx
 
I think it’s totally fine to do, but I’ve gone right off sex at the moment! I think the tiredness and all day nausea have their part to play in that, so hopefully I’ll get my mojo back in the second trimester :laugh2:
 
Haha @tdog yes my libido goes CRAZY during pregnancy, I feel like a teenaged boy, it's ridiculous.
