Mornin' Girls!

Well my lil girl started walking by her self last night .. took off across the room. 11 months, 1 day!

Re morning sickness, I get waves of it thru out the day. My body has also taken to waking up around 3am, and I'm awake for the day then. This happened with Missy too. SUCKS!

Bcage ~ Welcome!

Brandi ~ I can't swallow those pre-natal vits. Freaking horse pills, make me gag big time. I found pre-natal gummis .. SO much easier to take!!

New to ttc ~ I'd say UTI. They don't always hurt either, you just get the need like you want to pee all the time but you don't ever feel .. finished ..

Meow ~ I get the $1 from the Dollar Store. Work just as well as the $15 ones!

Ok time to try and feed the kid her breakfast

Congratulations Beth

I had my first MW appointment today, she rang me earlier to say she wanted to do a home visit. She has taken my urine to be tested for an UTI, but she said it sounds more like my small uterus is on the bladder stopping the pee getting out (something like that lol). She said its qute common in early stage until the uterus opens up and settles itself but will need to be sorted (no idea what that means!!) if it is this. She is going to come back and do another home visit on Friday, bring the urine results, also do my booking in and check my history re: the molar pregnancy and MCs. She has also chased the US up, it was on the system as a dating scan in error so she has informed them its an early scan to assess for molar pregnancy so she said that should be done very soon. So next appointment is Friday, ts starting to feel more real by the day

Had a bit of an emergency at work though, which resulted in me doing more than I should until help got to me and I feel a bit achey, so Ive been sent home with instructions to rest. I feel ok though, and I know I followed manual handling procedure best I could, I didnt lift or manually transfer the person so I dont think I put too much extra strain on my body. Its easy for the procedure to say let people fall and do it in training but its different when that person is really in danger

Well my back has been a lot better today so happy about that. It's a bit twingey but i've got 2 days off work now so i'm not going to overdo it.

new_to_ttc- It's so nice that they're keeping an eye on you. It must make you feel much more confident. I've been feeling so sick in the evenings but today i've been feeling sick all day.

My car's in the garage today as my handbrake cables have snapped so i haven't got a handbrake and my reversing lights have stopped working. They just rang and told me that i need oil, new tyres and brake pads etc which i already knew but to everything they said they would charge £600!!!!!

I said no thanks just the handbrake and lights please! My dad can do most things with cars so he will do the brake pads for me and the tyres ill get somewhere else. The only reason he cant do the handbrake is because it needs to go on a ramp and he obv doesnt have one lol.

It annoys me because it doesn't cost that much for all of that and if i didnt have someone who could do it for me then i would have to pay! Rip off!

 

[new_to_ttc]

My car is in the garage right now for a handbrake cable.... omg.. how much!!!! How much are they charging just for the cable to be fitted (so I can prepare myself shocks are no good in this condition lol)!! Its also having repairs to the exhaust, but he quoted that to me this morning at £49.95 so Ive reconned on £100 for the lot... arghhh I hope its not more lol

And yes meow, its very reassuring to know they are keeping an eye The NHS here in Wales far exceeds the care I received back in England.

Hi ladies

As a May mum from 2010 I just want to wish you all a wonderfully healthy and happy 9 months. I cannot believe it has been almost a year since my BFP!!

People will say it to you and I did not really understand but May really is a great month to have a baby! It has been so lovely having the summer to get out and about with a newborn. When you are up several times in the night it is not freezing cold and fingers crossed by the time the cold nights close in you won't be getting up as often!!

Good luck to you all I am soooo jealous!!

xxx

 

[bubblicous]

hi ladies

can i join

im due 1st may i cant belive it

im very tired at the moment and got other symptoms on and off i have an early scan on the 15th 2 weeks today i cant wait

 

[lisaf]

My friend used an OPK and HPT and put them together because I forgot to tell her not to and it caused much panic!

Thank you! Lol.. I had always promised myself I'd test that hpt/opk thing when I finally got my BFP as I figured seeing a line when I wasn't pregnant would just depress me.
Stupid me, I forgot I couldn't use my own pee once I was pregnant So I tried tap water, and of course there has to be SOME LH present for the trick to work
DH won't let me use his pee (don't know if guys have any LH in their pee anyways, lol)... don't have any non-pregnant local friends that I could convince to help me out here!

 

[lisaf]

new_to_ttc - thats interesting about the MW's opinon on the bladder placement. Never heard of that. I just know my pregnant friends got UTIs a lot and didn't have any burning and didn't notice because they were peeing so often anyway
Let us know which it is!

Hi to all the new girls!
I like Mini Mayhems! Hehe, figure it prepares us for what our lives will be like come May!

 

[mummy3]

I voted mini mayhems too

new_to_ttc it really is a small world! I know Bury, well we used to get the witchway bus through it a lot! I forgot about peeing when pregnant, you should lean forwards when peeing apparently, to make sure bladder gets emptied properly I'm glad Wales is so nice

Chaos, haha your in for it now My lo is a walker and my goodness unless she is sleeping you don't get 5 mins to sit still!

My hcg is apparently rising normally, no exact values but they are posting them
Progesterone is normal now though I reckon my 21 day bloods were done too early!
Getting hcg done again next week and my first ob appointment and scan is on the 14th september

 

[meow951]

new_to_ttc- i've got 2 cables on mine and both have snapped. It's £40 for the both cables and labour on top. Not sure exactly as i've just been given a £242 bill as i've got a wheel bearing gone and i'm having my reversing lights fixed as well.

God i hate cars they are so expensive.

 

[Tonnilou]

YAY evening lovelies.

OOOO lots has been going on I see. Welcome and grats new may mums. NEW I hope you feel less weird down there soon. I am annoyingly still with only mild symptoms (ducks things being thrown at her ) BUT I got my +3 this morning on my last CBD soooooooooooooo am superhappy and relieved as the lack of BIG symptoms was making me nervous n twitchy.

Cactusgirl grats to you on your new mumness and so nice to hear positive stories for us.

YAY Anna our fave stalker, who I think probably lives close to me YIKES! (Same county ) )

Chaos thats soo cute

Meow awwwwwwwwwwwwww hugs, typical, damn cars XX

 

[lisaf]

I wish we had the CB digis here with the weeks listing.. though I might get scared at mine going up so fast

 

[new_to_ttc]

3+ already I did mine yesterday and I was only showing 2_3 weeks and Im 5wks 3 days from lmp I was sure Id show 3+ weeks because I know exactly when we dtd lol but I guess the little spermy guys took longer to break through lolol

Not had the bill for the car, they keeping it over night and given me a courtesy car! I hope that doesn't mean bad news lol

Welcome and congraulations to even more new May mummies, we filling up now

I'll keep you informed re the UTI thingy. Ive had to measure my pee all day she said I should pee about 600mls minimum all day, ive pee'd 145mls yikes!! Still a little bit of the day left mind lol Im drinking like a fish too, all water. Will get the results Friday and see what it is

 

[lisaf]

hmm, I wonder if thats what causes the constipation for some of us too... the uterus starts pushing BACK for us, and is pushing forward for you?

 

[pinkylisa28]

can i be added please just got my BFP today according to my ov date im due 11th May.goin to make an apt at the doctors me thinks!cant remember what i did last time, do you make an apt straight away?

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oh not sure Lisa, maybe, Ive been going to the toilet a lot more than normal for that! Some maybe!!

Ive got some cramps tonight I keep telling myself its normal everythng is growing and stretching but I dont know. I feel very wet tmi like Im spotting but there is absolutely nothing there except CM, yellowy clear, not pink/brown or discoloured in anyway. *Stay positive lady*

Massive congratulatons pink I made my appointment quite soon but 1.. I was (and still am) constantly being sick so I thought I may need some meds and 2.. have a negitive history with pregnancies and I want to be monitored closely so want everything organised

 

[lisaf]

anyone else getting heartburn like crazy?

 

[Tonnilou]

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww XD Dont you go worrying, someone said the other day it didnt show 3+ till they were at least 7 weeks and also others say they can be unreliable. I only checked cos I woke up at 4.30 am in a hot sweat and in a panic (very odd) I was really surprised as expected 2 - 3 still and wasn't hoping to see 3+ till well over 6 weeks. Hope the sickness dies down and I get that *wet* feeling toooooo, its well weird, almost think I may take to wearing a panty liner! Oi!

*hugs*

Lisa they are good and bad! This month was the first month I ever used them, before that was the old pink liners and I still used my last of those when I found out as was sure I just had faulty CBD's They stop at 3+ weeks but it certainly made me feel better after my restless night.

Lisa big grats and welcome
