i did notice that it was more accurate when i did it around lunchtime when i used FMU it was always a bit naff xxx

 

[pinkycat]

Me too, i keep saying i wont but i know i will xx

 

[readynwilling]

I did them every day the first week i got my then it started to sink in and i don't feel the need to do them everyday. I've almost gone a whole week without doing one. Early pregnancy is very scary and we all need to do what we need to do to relax a little.

 

[heart tree]

If they sold them in the US, I'd be doing them too! I agree, we all need to do what we need to do to relax a little. Boothh, I don't know why your mother would say what she said given she experienced a loss too. The only thing I can think is that she is so scared for you that she doesn't want to get too excited yet. I've been experiencing that with people recently and I don't find it particularly helpful. That's why we have each other to talk about it with!

 

[blessedmomma]

oh booth hun you can feel however you need to and do what ya gotta do to get thru it all. i had two mc around 7-8 wks before i had my babies, that was in 1997 and i still get nervous around that time with each pg. first one i bled for a week real bad second time was a mmc. had no idea anything was wrong til scan. its heartbreaking

got pg with my oldest dd and didnt let myself celebrate til 10 weeks! hang in there sweetheart and dont put too much emphasis on what people say.... easier said than done when its your mom and you need her support i know! we r all here for ya too though

 

[heart tree]

Oh, blessedmomma, I know you were writing to Boothh, but it helps me too! I've had 2 losses and haven't had a baby yet. I hope my luck turns around like yours did!

 

[africaqueen]

Heart tree- we are in this together all the way, no matter what ;-)
I just feel lucky to have u ladies and although sad we have endured losses and this heartache of being childless etc, that we knw what eachother are going through an can support eachother. I am going to buy a pregnancy magazine tomorrow and start being hopeful and seeing light at the end of the tunnel ;-)

[blessedmomma]

yeah it turned around... and around... and around...and around...

and my dh talked me into another!

cant complain i love em all, each their own lil person.

 

[readynwilling]

I know its early and all.... but any of you given thought to how much "natural parenting" you want to do???

I want to breastfeed/express until 1 year

I can't wait to be a babywearing momma! I see ladies with their over stuffed strollers (prams ) in the grocery store and lugging around a basket and i think "if she was wearing baby she could be pushing a regular cart!!"

and i want to use cloth diapers (nappy's for my british friends lol). Im looking at the pocket ones

 

[heart tree]

Ready, I'm so not there yet! I'm so looking forward to the day when I can feed my baby from my breast! I used to be a nanny for a newborn and I LOVED wearing her when we took walks, so I know I'll want to do that too! Cloth diapers are preferable for me too. I also would like to make my own baby food with organic veggies. I don't think I'm mentally ready to get ahead of myself too much though. I'm still trying to envision having a bump!

 

[blessedmomma]

love my baby sling and my 6 month old jaxon loves it too. i wish i would have had it with the other 3 too! makes everything so much easier and he sleeps so well in it. im very thankful to whoever invented it

 

[Tanikit]

Readynwilling I breastfed my first til 26 months of age and would love to do the same with the next one but will wait and see what happens - every baby is an individual and it may not work out how I plan.

As for sling wearing - my DD would NOT let me - she wanted to be carried in my arms and no other way helped. She also refused a pacifier for which I was quite grateful. So I guess its wait and see what this little's ones personality will be.

I'm up at 04:30 thanks to severe hypoglycaemia - woke up sweaty and ice cold and as usual very stressed about it, but I think I have sorted it out ok now - I know temp rises are bad for babies, but what about temp drops like that? (Never mind the low sugar levels - that is another story) I know this will happen a good many more times, but had forgotten how scary it is.

 

[Tanikit]

Welcome to all the new people and congrats!

 

[MiBebe]

Hello ladies, just found out I'm pregnant yesterday! So I'm joining the March ladies thread. I am so overjoyed to be on this side of the forum!

[Tanikit]

Rach you get your results today - good luck, hoping they will be fantastic!

Sent DD off to school (usually I keep her home Fridays, but I am so tired I need a bit of a break)

Welcome MiBebe and congrats! Did you get an early BFP?

 

[Nixilix]

Thanks hun! I'm hoping lots too! Have a nice day of rest today!! At least it's the weekend! Then only problem is I have 3 brats over then next 3 wkends then my sisters wedding! I hope ms stays away! Gotta think of my excuses quick for no drinkies!!

 

[Tanikit]

I am not drinking ummm, cause I am having lent very late this year.... or I am feeling sorry for my liver.... ummm, I had a nightmare that the cops pulled me over and I had high blood alcohol so have taken that as a sign not to drink - oh they will know you are pregnant if you use any of my excuses!

 

[Nixilix]

I know! Esp the fact I've given up smoking too... Hmmm!!

 

[Tanikit]

Maybe just tell them you are doing an experiment to see if you can quit for a day (or a week or whatever you decide to tell them - its not the truth anyway, so it doesn't matter) - tell them you have a big bet on it and if you succeed then you win big (you win a baby so thats at least true) They don't have to know how long you have already stopped for.

When do you get your results today?
