I'm sure you'll be fine Gilz. I've had no problem with my jab. Like you it was the close proximity of serious cases that spurred me into action. Sorry you've been sick. I had the same issue with my virus, the head of snot and coughing both contribute to some serious nausea and retching!

 

[molly85]

eek sounds liek what Matt has. if he throws upi could be very close behind

 

[gilz82]

It's horrible, I feel so pathetic it's like I have man flu

Usually I'd just take a couple of sudafed some Covonia and get on with it. I just keep reminding myself it'll be totally worth when our little man is here

Oh Molly do you get the whole sympathetic sickness thing? I get that too, on Monday when my OH was hungover and being sick I had to listen to my iPod all day so I couldn't hear or that would've been me puking too.

 

[molly85]

girls as our nursery is plain green I was thinking of jazzing it up a bit do we go for wall stickers, or get wal paper samples and cut and paste or print out pictures from the net?
I was thinking insects like pink and purple butterflys and and our frogs maybe sat round the bottom of the wall

 

[gilz82]

Oh I want some nice stickers and then maybe a shaped rug for the floor but have no idea where to get either.

 

[molly85]

working on the wards the only thing that would make me gag is snot or phelgm. eugh he does that enough but with pregnancy my gag reflex and totally gone and i can feel sick at anything withno warning.I haven't puked but with the added smell to sound I will be a gonner

 

[molly85]

loads of boys stuff at b&Q. I'm not into the whole disney thing much except pooh
just didn't want it to be to garish. I will probably do the letters myself on Photo aper so they are shiny. I'm thinking about how they come off as kids get pickyreally quick

 

[gilz82]

Yeah I did read about stickers in a pregnancy magazine and they said most of the stickers are supposed to come back off reasonable easily.

 

[molly85]

ohhh wl run them past matt. and getting a sign for her door. lol. I was hoping tom boy but i get the feeling we aregoing to see a hell of a lot of pink and purple, and dresses and tiaras

 

[tas1]

Evening Ladies,
Sorry to hear some of you aren't well or aren't sleeping well! Hopefully it will pass for you! Peanut apparently girls do make you sicky all the time i guess its something to do with your hormones and hers lol im just guessing really but sounds good lol!

Well i have taken my decorations down and cleaned up abit. I have even sorted out my bathroom and kitchen cupboards out,i have half a cupboard for when baby comes so im slowly getting there...i think the nesting has kicked in as i really wanna bleach everywhere and chuck loads of things out even my OHs clothes he isnt using lol! I need to get my son's Cadens bedroom finished,we started painting before christmas and wanted it done by now but because the house is old we have damp which hasnt rotted the skirting boards so we now have to take them off, im hoping it gets finished this week so i can move most of his toys upstairs..........and then i can start getting stuff ready for baby

What does everyone think of Eastenders storyline? i havent watched it but read what happens,i watched the births and cried a little coz i was excited but dont wanna watch the rest, i just think you would know your baby once you have seen him!

Second time mums, when did you potty train? my son is 2 and half he will be 3 when baby is born and i was gonna try and get it down before baby but then i thought about him getting jealous and going backwards so im not sure anymore. He sometimes asks to use the toilet and he tells me when he is weeing so i know he could be ready but when i say lets put big boy pants on he refuses!

xx

 

[gilz82]

Oh I would have loved my little girl if we were having one but I couldn't cope with tiaras and super pink girly stuff, it's so the complete opposite of me.

If you aren't super girly then your little princess won't necessarily be that girly either.

 

[molly85]

def not watching eastenders they have taken the SIDS story line 1 step to far.

def not a 2nd time mum but is he using the pull up pants?
If he can tell when he's going he def sounds ready. it's worth starting i would think, so even if he dos regress he does actually know what he is doing. oh man otty training sounds so far away but really its not. AHHHHHHHH

 

[molly85]

I'm thinking of sneaking up some football stickers to. lol I'm dyeig to get her kit for our local team but it won't fit until shes 6 mnths. Ahh can you imagine at a game her in a fleecy thing with her kit on over the top in a baby carrier. eeek it would be very cute and the stadiums ta the end of our road. I waunder at what point they would pick up the phrase "the refs a W**nker!"?

 

[tas1]

Lol i know its weird as this time 3 yrs ago i was pregnant with my son and now im potty training him and he is getting a proper boys room and he likes big boy stuff,gets me teary when i think about it lol! And time does really fly so take loads of pictures of your babies.

I think they have taken it abit far and it should be cut!

xx

 

[madcatwoman]

well, i can catagorically say my boy has feet, i watched the first rib kick in the bath this evening, i was wondering when id see or feel that!.

Tas, im planning on taking loads of photos of our boy, i do photography but always been short of willing subjects!(i prefer portraits), our poor is going to grow up with a life infront of a lens!!!

 

[DaretoDream]

Anyone heard from Sequeena? Wonder how she's doing with her ms.

 

[PeanutBean]

Hey tas, we've been potty training in a very relaxed way since about 18 months. He has the potty and he goes regularly on it. We have a toilet training seat and he goes on that sometimes too and does both at nursery. We've had one dry night. He very rarely does a poo in his nappies, can't remember the last time he did but I think it was when watching tv so I guess he was too distracted! Lol He's a way off dry nappies in the day yet. Some days are really good and we had a spate before Christmas of being able to miss some nappy washes as he was doing so well but he's snotty at the moment which means he needs warm drinks after his indispensable milk so is drinking twice as much as usual! We're pretty relaxed about it all. He completely knows what to do and that he needs to go but doesn't always bother to tell us. Overall he's been two steps forward one step back throughout so we'll get there. As we use reusables I'm hoping he'll at least be down to just nighttime nappies by the time LO comes and I've ordered 5 new nappies anyway.

On the sickness thing I'm afraid gender really has nothing to do with it. Lol I've actually had slightly less nausea than with Byron, which never once abated, and been better able to eat which I think is why I've been sick a bit more often.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I have to agree Peanut I have two boys not a sniff of MS with Oliver but by gosh have made up for it this time We took Oliver to his party at 4pm and I had another dizzy do Its starting to pee me off now I seem to have lost my patience since becoming pregnant esp where it concerns myself and how I feel

I also posted a thread in 2nd tri before I went off Am suffering from AF type cramps lower tummy and lower back reminds me of AF but also the lower back early labour with Oliver...Am probably been a freak but this morning when I peed I even got that sweet sickly whiff of AF anyone know what the hell am talking about Am getting a bit anxious but I also dont want to bother the triage unit or MW and dash to the hospital to find out I am been neurotic iykwim so am taking regular paracetamol and going to see how I go tomorrow It was suggested it may be braxton hicks but I have no tightening only the achy painy feeling Any one any ideas could it really just be stretching etc its never felt so uncomfy before

 

[gilz82]

Madly hon if you really are worried by these af type feelings and especially if it's not normal for you I really wouldn't hesitate to at least phone the maternity unit. I'm sure they'll be completely happy to reassure you one way or the other

 

[PeanutBean]

Hey madly. Any better? I've been getting quite a lot of period pains on and off. I've grown again recently and when baby pushes at the bottom of my bump it can feel a bit like that. I do know the smell you mean but surely there'd need to be blood to smell it? Maybe it was your mind playing tricks because you're anxious. What dies your intuition say? I agree with gilz that if you are really worried it's best to phone. That said it can be as well to wait and see how things go but if you remain uneasy go get checked out.

I'm in bed and going to sleep shortly. Feeling very sick and very tired.
