Mother of all conception months Graduates

[PeanutBean]

Like I said madly I wondered but I suspect it's all a matter of perception. The fact that the apparent reason girls make you more sick is that steal a mother's beauty says it all really!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I didnt know the `apparent` reason behind it hon...am sure its another old wifes tale...as I say unfortunately not true in my case

I'm taking this 'bedrest' business very seriously - its nearly 6pm and ive only moved twice. Right thats it! *big deep breath* Time to make myself more squash! *Heavvve*

 

[madcatwoman]

Oh goodness
after a plate of fish n chips and a small pot of ben&jerrys will you all please excuse me while i explode ?

 

[gilz82]

Awwww I want Ben and jerrys I forgot to get it at asda today

 

[PeanutBean]

I had scrambled eggs on toast. Kind of lost my appetite with my woes! lol Got a steaming cup of tea now and it's all I want. Yum.

Sorry for being the endlessly blue one on here. If we can all find the time to keep chatting once I'm on leave/after births you'll find me a different person!

Seeing as many of you ladies are a few weeks ahead of me in pregnancy (and a few with children already), i was wondering if i could just ask a question about my tum Since things started stretching & aching down there, its always been obvious that my left side (the side i ov'd from and most likely the side babe implanted on) is more tender/hurty than the other. I don't mean right over and across my stomach, i mean down in the groin, below the pelvic bone line and whilst - to point it out - it looks centered, its definitely on the one side. I get babe's heartbeat over there too.

I just got a real ache down there and in the past few days, i've had a lot of stretching/pulling feelings there too. I do get them on the opposite side too, but the left hand side is much more tender. I noticed this at my 8 week scan aswell, so its not something thats suddenly come on, but now i'm starting to 'grow & stretch' more, i can definitely feel it more, if you understand what i mean? Does anyone know if this is particularly normal? Sometimes i guess i worry that its a little too tender or painful, i'm just not sure! Many thanks girls xxxx

 

[pinkclaire]

Peanut when you find out about those bras I must remember to get the details off you!

Gem this ones heart rate is 120 so definitely doesn't fit the bill! The Chinese thing is wrong as well. The thing that was right for me was I read going off garlic and food I general was a boy thing!

I so want fish and chips after reading this thread yum, hubbys making me curry!

Gilz I'm so sorry about your friend, did they detect a heartbeat? There's still hope yet xx

 

[madcatwoman]

Gem,
i cant remember exact sides, but i definately had alot of growing pains right down low, sometimes it felt like a heavy ache as well. the streching and odd feelings you get down there are totally normal, i still get them now from time to time, but obviously a bit higher up these days, youre normal!!

 

[gilz82]

Gilz I'm so sorry about your friend, did they detect a heartbeat? There's still hope yet xx

No Pink I just got off the phone with her the message I got earlier was a little bit sketchy as she was obviously upset.

There was no heartbeat so sadly her baby is gone. Her rescan isn't to check progress as I thought it's to check if she has miscarried naturally. I'm so sad for her it's just horrible she had gotten to 12 weeks before finding out.

 

[MoonLove]

Ohh how awful, really am sorry to hear that :'(

 

[pinkclaire]

I'm so sorry gilz how awful

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Oh Gilz hon so sorry for your friend

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Glitz I'm so sorry for your friend.....

AND for the record, the best chocolate is Ghirardelli from San Francisco........ But I'm biased.

 

[gilz82]

Now I'm thinking about chocolate again and I didn't buy any at asda!! I bought loads of fruit and stuff cos I'm hungry all the time, when actually I should have bought a family pack of chocolate biscuits

 

[molly85]

Awww so sorry Gilz, Send her our love.

Questions girls moses baskets come with a plastic/rubbery cover do I need a new one as these are the same as hospitals use and the they just get cleaned down between people. Its lovely best £7 iv spent in quite some time. Whoops Think we have way to many 3-6 mnths clothes. never mind I think I have spent £50 in total and itsall cute

aw gilz i am so gutted for your friend such sad news i was really hoping everything was going to be ok for her.

rant warning:

I hate it when people hijack threads to preach about giving birth and all things natural! Was on a thread talking about hospital choices when someone posted to the poor girl who asked "not having a pop but you are limiting womens choices by only talking about hospitals! " err i think you are having a pop! i felt compelled to pm the girl and just be like hun i had an epidural (albeit forced) an e c section and then bottle fed which all went against what i planned to do and people like that women have no idea what the implications of their comments have on people who have chosen or are not able to give birth in a field with the warmth of the sun on their bear backs as the only availble relief grrr

honestly i am all for natural, thats what i originally wanted and this time i will be brest feeding for much longer if things go alot differently this time but god! i do think it is important that women do have the choices and obviously go for the option that is safest for baby but i hate the way some people get so hung up on their own opinions and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

my dh is coming home early from work with a lovely meat paella lovingly cooked by his own fair hands for me yum yum hope he isnt too long otherwise i'll eat the sofa lol

I know exactly what you mean about preaching about all things natural. I was watching one born every minute with Joe & my fam the other week & the lady was asked about her epidural. She said it was fantastic and would recommend it - and it threw my mom into a rage! She started on about 'how she doesn't need a bloody epidural, can't she just push' and was having a major rant at the tv. I'm not planning an epidural myself, but then again, when i did suggest the idea of a birthing pool to my mom, she laughed... Can't do right for doing wrong!

 

[molly85]

ohh sounds talented Nomore.

I have tuna baked spud and matts n bed.

tested moses basket next to bed ts just right

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

honestly my birth plan last time was dont come near me with no needle full on numbing crap! but i was having 8 contractions every 10 mins and them thinking i was going to push any second and pop him out they looked very concerned when they said you can start pushing now darling "i dont have the urge at all!" lets have a look hmmmmmm 1.5cm hmmmmmmm i am going to very sternly suggest epidural to you kate do you agree dh: yes she does! lol

honestly people would go was it natural, no c section their faces awwwwwwww well errrrrrr nevermind hey - i had to go was it natural - no emergency c section baby almost died, 11lb 6onz, wasnt ever going to come out, induced coma 5 days, didnt hold very horrific, would never have been able to give bith naturally - and breath in . . . i wonder if i could have fitted that on a badge?

lol

i said that that women that she will always meet someone who has done it more naturally than you

i did it with gas and air
oh i didnt even use that
you were at the hospital i was at home
home i was in the driveway
concrete! i had a field!

lol of course i would have loved things to go to plan last time but they didnt - severely didnt - an i resent anyone who puts their opinon on other people!

i would never say to someone oh have an epidural oh have a c section if i am asked i will always say it was horrific but i was doing really well on gas and air before they realised that i was getting in trouble a bit you will never know how you will cope you might do fantastic on gas and air or you might want epidural just be flexible and dont feel bad about any decision you make!
