I always thought I'd go back but when it came to it I couldn't! I love being at home with my DD and I'll stay at home for another year with the baby but then I think I'll want to work. It's been a nice career break though! I'd like to do 3 days a week ideally so will see what happens when the time comes!
 
I've been home for a year due to the hours I was working and long commute was taking a toll on the kids. I am in midst of changing careers and getting my second masters so I am looking at a few more years at home. I am going stir crazy...I am used to working and miss the daily adult interaction. I start school soon and I think this will help with my sanity. I am going to look for a part job maybe tutoring on Saturdays to get out of the house once the baby is born. Would love a nice part time good paying job but right now its not feasible with the career I am in (special ed teacher). Sooooooo...time to change careers!!!!! I'm sorry for those of you going through hell at work...I also had a hellish experience at my last job and needed to get out asap before I told off one of the administrators. I hope it gets better and that you all get much better jobs soon :)
 
Anyone experience shakiness? I ate breakfast around 9:30 am (milk and some raisin bran, plus 3 cups of water), and around 11:30 I started getting super shaky... like I had a whole pot of coffee. I made some macaroni and cheese, eating it now, I think maybe because I was really hungry? I still feel shaky but the food hasn't really kicked in yet.
 
I lost my job because the center I worked at closed down when Carter was born and I just stayed home ever since because daycare is like working to pay someone else to watch my kids its really expensive here. I run an at home business that brings in about 5-600 a month which is a bonus really because hubby's job covers everything and than some. My son will be in preschool for a few hours a day come sept so i will get a bit of a break I like being there for all the firsts I didn't wanna miss a thing.
 
Ttc I have had that a few times, my heart starts racing too. Dr thinks it is bc I have low blood pressure 87/57 after walking in to the dr. She said ear salty snacks to help. But I felt like I was gonna pass out

I have ten minutes left of the tree hour glucose test! Haven't felt horrible but haven't felt great. I won't know results until Tuesday. I'm glad you passed. I hope I do!
 
Ugh I have my two hour booked in feb :( not looking forward to it with my son it was only a one hour
 
I have low blood pressure so maybe it was just from that. I am feeling much better now!
 
i took my 2-hour test today. it really wasn't a big deal - i drank a glass of sugary fruit punch, and got my blood drawn at 10:15am, 11:15am and 12:15. it was lame having to sit in the waiting room for 2 hours, but the juice drink wasn't awful, and i brought a book. just hope i pass!! ;)
 
i have it, too. i actually keep a pair of new undies in my purse if it's too bad (the gap non-maternity undies are the BEST)

i asked my OB today about it, in fact. she said it's normal. she said to look out for large clear, watery gushes, as that could be amntioc fluid. totally normal to have tons of wetness, but so icky. oh the joys of pregnancy!
 
Yes ladies I have it too.

I get a bit paranoid now and again as I'm certain it's not pee. But what I do (gross but I think it's helpful to share) is get some on my finger and then scrape my nail on it.

When it's bunched up its white. So it reassures me that it's just lots of watery CM. which is a good thing apparently so I'm getting through lots of liners but or a good reason.
 
Oh good idea Cupcake, I'll try that next time I use the bathroom!
 
worst.day.ever.

my car died in the middle of the road on the way home from work today. thank god my husband was with me. 18 degrees outside - it had just snowed that day. we had to pay $185 to get it towed to the mechanic's shop. i don't even want to know how much it's going to cost to get it fixed. 3 months until the baby comes, and this happens.

ugh, terrible day. glucose test, (they took my blood 4 times!) and then this. sigh. at least tomorrow is saturday.
 
Urgh jtink how awful. My car broke down once on the motorway and it was terrible. Luckily I had my DH with me too or I'd have been a wreck. And it wasn't too cold. So I really feel for it happening to you in the snow. :(

4am here. Just woke up sweating and in pain from constipation. :( Nice. :(

But like you said at least it's now the weekend so even I I'm awake for ages I can sleep in and make up for it. X
 
The drink is not bad at all with my son everyone told me it was just terrible I felt like i was drinking pop thats the easy part the waiting is what sucks lol
 
I only have to do a one hour test (Monday) thank goodness..unless there's a problem then I have to do the three hour. I hate drinking that stuff!
 
I hope your car stuff works out ok jt! Hopefully it's nothing too big.
About the watery cm, I have it some days worse than others. I just can't stand how I smell down there. It's not bad, it's just different, and I really don't like it. I've thought about bringing it up to my doctor because it's so odd.
Doing my 3 hour test Tuesday. The drink isn't bad at all. Just not looking forward to the fasting and waiting. I'm afraid of being so hungry!
 
Sass, I'm pleased you mentioned things smelling "different". I've noticed that too over the last few weeks and keep mentioning it to my mum. Even after showering a few hours before I can smell it if I'm at my desk at work and am paranoid that other people can too. It's absolutely not a dirty smell, it just smells really "strong". Probably just a normal pregnancy thing as I know I don't have an infection or anything and it feels perfectly fine otherwise x
 
I know exactly what you mean, I don't really remember it from last time but maybe I'm just blanking out that memory lol! At least it sounds like we are all experiencing it to some degree.

Up at 6 with a crying DD and then just had my Pilates class (I'm the only one in it now which is weird!). Got lunch with my parents today so that should be nice. Really tired though, as ever!
 
Hi all, just booked for myself and my Mum to go to the Baby Show at ExCel London Feb 23rd. Anyone else going?
