Blessedmomma how do you cope? The only thing I have found that helps is to put a movie on and lie on the couch with my DD when I am really exhausted, but there is still no chance of sleeping like that. I also sometimes take her out in the garden and sit with my back against the wall and just let her play - then I don't have to do too much.

Laura - yey, apparently South Africa private practice has one of the highest C-section rates in the world. I actually know very few people who have given birth naturally - most had C-sections so I feel pretty lucky especially with the diabetes.

I'm terrified :/ just took another frer line came up slightly darker but when I wiped there was abit of pink on the toilet paper, when I wiped again to see if there was more wasn't! I have a uti though, should I be worried it a
was less smaller than a pin head! x

 

[Barbiebaby]

I think you are probably worrying over nothing tbh, especially if it was only a weeny bit.

[Boothh]

thanks i think i need someone to tell me to stop being pathetic lol! just been loo and nothing there when i wiped (tmi) OH has stayed off with LO today though and told me to stay in bed and rest just in case, normally it wouldnt worry me but my mmc was only just 2 months ago so im more paranoid than normal right now xx

 

[Barbiebaby]

I don't think you are being pathetic at all, I think it's nice you OH is letting you rest.

Try not to worry, it won't do you any good, easier said than done though.

these first few weeks are just the complete worse, theyve got up and left me in bed but im already worrying about the state its going to be in when i get up just can never relax haha x

 

[Barbiebaby]

I know what you mean, my DS makes such a mess with his toys, sometimes I wonder why I put them all away again every night!

 

[natty1985]

awww it sounds just like implantation bleeding hun i read somewhere it can be the size of a pinhead xxxtry not to worry i bled with my first from 4wk to 26 xx

 

[Boothh]

mine is the same our living room looks like a toyshop! when we go down in the morning he tips all his boxes of toys on the floor sort of glad i dont have to chase him round all day though i am really tired!! it makes a nice change to still be in bed at this time normally up before 7 with him!!

thanks natty, its just anyone pregnants greatest fear though isnt you can help but panic if you see anything slightly pink/brown/red when you wipe still cramping too but i have been pretty constipated (tmi) and the cramps seem to be abit higher than were id think baby would be so im thinking its more to do with that than anything, i wish i could be 13weeks already i hate single weeks haha x

Boothh. I'm totally paranoid now as well, but I did spot in my first pregnancy and it was all fine.

Finding it hard to resist the urge to take more tests.

 

[Boothh]

its so hard cus theres nothing you can do, not like they could even really see anything if we were scanned now or anything, hpts are the only thing we can go on atm, my lines are still not dark enough for my liking, but getting slowly darker, still faint though :/ which is making me paranoid! x

 

[Boothh]

been loo again so twice now since the spotting and nothing either time, so relaxing slightly, thinking it could just be down to uti x

Morning Girls!

We finally had a storm here last night. Hopefully it will cool it down to 80 or so.

PSB ~ sorry for your loss

Boothh ~ I feel you on a LO that can move. Lil button is now pulling up on everything, I have a feeling isn't far off. I'm quite lucky tho in the fact, she will entertain her self and play if I'm feeling a bit sick and need to chill on the sofa for a lil bit.

Thats lovely of the OH to stay home with you.

Re my last delivery, 37 hours at home going to 7cm, went to hospital, had an epi, she was out 3 hours later with a cut. Didn't have any problems with that tho and it healed real well.

Barbiebaby ~ I aint put my LOs toys away in days. She pulls them ALL out and goes from toy to toy, I just can't be bothered right now!

Ok gotta run, it's my LO's 9 month check today. Excited to see how long she's grown as she's in fricking 1 year old clothes at the moment. She went from 6 month clothes to 12 month, totally skipping 9 month clothes

Becky I also got one tiny area of spotting last time - I think it was from sex though It is tough since its too early to know anything for sure or see our babies - not too long now though til we can. (in th greater scheme of things that is)

Chaos hope the check up goes well. Its amazing how fast they grow.

Went to the endo today and got the new insulin - its pretty much like the older one so hopefully I won't have too many problems. I have to see him again in a week so hoping I will have got things pretty stable by then - my sugars have been a little up and down lately, which is apparently also what happened last time.

guys, I'm feeling like a bit of a weirdo. I have the most irrational fear of miscarrying. I have been in tears on and off all day because of it. I'm about to book a scan for 8 weeks to easy my mind but it literally took me 45mins to decide on whether to book on a Friday (i'd be 7+4) or the following Monday (I'd be 8weeks) I was in complete turmoil trying to weigh up the pros and cons of having one earlier, or waiting so I would be sure it was as accurate as possible. I wasn't like this with my last 2. I want this baby soooo much and I am TERRIFIED of it being taken away.

Anyone else like this or do I need shipping off to a loony bin

(sorry this post is all me, me, me. I really do care about how others pregnancies are coming along too!!)

[Boothh]

shrimpy i feel exactly the same, if my bloods come back okay nxt week im going to ask for an early scan if they wont let me have one im going to book one for about 7+4 my last baby stopped growing at 6+5 so i want to see my baby soon after that and know its growing! i am soo scared something is going to happen, but worrying isnt going to change the outcome so im trying to relax, if anything does happen we cant control it, we just have to wait and see (which is the hardest thing in the world!) xx

 

[readynwilling]

shrimpy. It is scary but im sure everything is fine

I moved up a ticker box!!

Everyday that passes i get less and less paranoid. Hopefully that will be the way with all the new mummies to be in here.

 

[Nixilix]

It is so scary these 1st few weeks!!

I can't wait til friday to find out if bloods doubling but also would rather it didn't come round cause o the possibilty of bad news. Let's keep the pma girls xxxxxxx

 

[Tanikit]

I have a scan for 2 weeks time - I'll be 7 weeks along. It feels like forever to wait and yes I am worried, but try to give myself only a certain amount of time to worry and try to do whatever else I am doing when I am doing it - that seems to help else I'd be a non stop nervous wreck. Nonetheless I think pregnancy hormones have something to do with it cause I am also close to tears now about nothing in particular - maybe the exhaustion has something to do with it.

Rach good luck with your tests - what time do you get the second one drawn tomorrow?
