Mother of all conception months Graduates

[gilz82]

Thanks Madcat. It is pretty sturdy furniture but the cot converts to a bed so I thought we'd hopefully get the use of it. It probably wasn't as expensive as you'd imagine, plenty of the stuff in the next range is similar prices.

I feel seriously sick tonight, but on a good note I saw my belly move from the outside for the first time tonight while in the bath that's still only the second time I've felt the jellybean move properly.

thankyou molly

its hard being as i have nothing to do with my mother, so i cant find out what lumps she had before (i just know she never had chemo or anything, they were just removed) and all i know now is this stomach tumour is cancerous, but dont know what kind. I get what your saying though, the doc would need more info. If testing were available i think id want it, simply because if i was at risk i would know better than to ignore any early symptoms which could be dismissed as IBS or something.

I know its not really helpful to just say 'sit back and wait for symptoms'.

An examination and a history (whatever you have) would help them formulate an idea what they are looking for. Her neck lumps may be relevant, they may not. Its really hard to say. But go and have a chat. I have rung the geneticists in the past just to ask their opinion as to whether referral would be helpful or not. If they say yes, then they will refer you on the NHS.

We are getting a cot from OHs ex - it was bought for his DS by his parents so he figured it would be nice to have this baby in it too. And cheaper for us! Think its a M&Ps one.

Havent got half the stuff arranged you guys have. I know we are going to go right to the wire and I will be stressing at the end. Well I guess as long as has a boob and a bed, it'll be okay....

Hee I cant wait for that. It kinda looks like Alien!

Shame you are feeling sick Gilz

My heartburn appears to be passing which is good. Joint pains still problematic, but improving. I hate being poorly. Back to work tomorrow

And for tonight....I feel Season 7 of 24 calling us....go Jack Bauer

 

[gilz82]

Loopy that totally right. Food and somewhere to sleep will be all the matters. I'm only as organised as we bought everything in early january so that my OH could help choose stuff.

I emailed the place we got our gender scan done and they don't think there would be problem with a 4d scan and my placenta. If there was they would only charge us the price for a 2d growth scan. Problem is I don't think my OH is greatly keen on having a 4d scan.

Thats good that they can do it with an anterior placenta....maybe you will end up with a few more profile shots!!

Maybe you will be able to sweet talk your OH.

Mine is dead against a 4d scan. In fact, I think it was the first thing he said - 'Dont be asking for one of those bloody awful scans!' He said its because the babies look awful - I think in reality he is just a tight-arse Yorkshireman.

madcat loopy is ya ountain of knowledge, the one thing i do know is worry makes it worse.
gilz its so cute that room, matts done our shelves and posters so it looks nearly finished.
thanks for vday comments girls. today has physically been agony but productive

 

[gilz82]

Oh good luck for tomorrow Molly, hope work is ok

Loopy my OH is sort of the same opinion that he doesn't like the 4d scan pictures plus he just doesn't want to spend the money

 

[molly85]

Thanks Gilz, its just 4 hours but I am meant to be scanning notes Oh the joy

Hey Ladies :wave:

Thank you for all your support yesterday Sorry I wasnt around for long but I wanted to get an earlish night in because I knew working today was going to be a bit of a nightmare and I wasnt wrong I feel better today infact amazingly so considering I felt so down yesterday and have major crap on at work right now Work isnt stressing me at all however I have decided and realised a few things......I cant go on Mat Leave knowing the stuff I do and be happy living with not doing a thing about it I know this is the right thing to do now because all else has failed. I dont even care about the outcome its all about doing the right thing now If I loose my job then so be it...I will still get my Mat Pay as I am entitled to that and they still have to pay me it however I know I am worth more than a place that is run by a man who asks his employees to do `unsafe` working practices He took the biscuit today however I refused to do his `risky and unsafe` task although it wasnt for lack of him trying I spoke with my colleague early and we are speaking from the same page so to speak so now we take action because talking and trying to work through the issues is obviously a no-go with him and we have exhausted all avenues trying. I refuse to put myself at risk any longer and dont want to work in a place where this is asked of me! So well wish me luck

Molly goodluck at work hon hope it all goes ok

I spent 20mins earlier catching up and was LMAO you Ladies with your fanny pads and tit pads (was that right ) Damn brain again I hope it returns soon he he he!

No advice to add to Peanut and Vbaby except I agree always sani pads are better than `maternity mattresses` they are truly awful They dont tend to soak up much, bunch in the middle of your lady garden and leak I found the nighttime always great too and used those and the `purple` daytime ones....I also bought ones with wing to avoid leakage onto pants as for (.)(.) OMG is all I can say....day 3 after delivery I felt like flaming PAMELA ANDERSON they were HUGE and I felt like they were stuck right under my chin.....an instant boob uplift if I have ever seen one I was sort of walking like a pigeon with my chest all `puffed` up it was a case of `hey look at these babies` sadly they didnt stay like that and gosh did they kill a real burning feeling

Love the furniture/nursery Gilz and for movements in the bath

Am sure I have totally missed loads out...sorry I cant remember anything else I have read

 

[molly85]

Hello. I am not good today. After my terrible night and nausea yesterday I had a tricky morning with Byron and my mum. Ate some baked potato for lunch at 2pm then left at half past. Finally got to Newcastle at almost 6pm! The A1 is just horrendous at the moment. Meeting was just brilliant but I didn't stop and got NO food at all. Turns out the only veg was unsuitable cheese anyway. I had to refuel on the way home so figured I'd just get BK. Left at half 9 (too late) and stopped at the biggest services only to find all food was closed. I also lost my special ring and had a check at services but couldn't see it in the car. So I rang DH and just cried then set off again. I finally got home at half 12. Ate some toast and came to bed getting to sleep probably half 1. But I woke at half 4 with tummy ache. Felt bad though couldn't understand why given I'd eaten nothing but it came to nothing. Then the insomnia kicked in and I've not been able to get back to sleep. So no food and 3hrs sleep and loads of work to do I've already retched over a mouthful of toast which I had to spit out. Will be very surprised if I don't chuck this morning. So pissed off and tired and shakey and ill.

Sorry for the total moan, I feel really hard done by.

 

[gilz82]

Oh Peanut you are really having a horrible time of it aren't you. Arent you owed time off in lieu of working extra hours yesterday? You could use them to recuperate today.

Oh and happy 28 weeks Peanut and Madcat
Happy 23 weeks Loopy
And happy 24 weeks and viabilty day to me

 

[molly85]

Peanut I prescribe bed, get your ass back there, work into the evening if need be you need more sleep.

Yay V day Gilz. another mile stone hit. Vay to all the other girlies to.

Im looking forward to getting home from work and maybe having a nice nap as I will be very sleepy.

Sequeena sounds like a nasty hospital visit, suprised tehy haven't pulled you off the pills instead

 

[gilz82]

Molly definitely rest for you today after work. Hopefully everything goes as it should today.

I've got the physio today at 11, hoping that she'll be able to help me a little bit.

 

[madcatwoman]

morning all!

Loopy, apollogies, it was you i ment to thank for the advice (baby brain), thanks very much for taking the time to answer my question.
ive had a sleep on it/spoke to DH and decided its just one of those things, that anyone can be prone to cancer in the end, but when im older if i have any funny symptoms i know not to palm them of as IBS 1st hand and to get checked out.

Peanut, what an awful night for you, and i just cant believe youre still so ill, i say this every time, but i dont know how you cope with it. I think we need to lock you up, induce sleep and wake you up on april 21st


Gilzdont you just love movements, and for some reason you might find(as i do) that the best ones are when youre having a soak in the bath!!

The creame egg saga continues. DH came home from work with 3, to replace the ones he let roll behind the cooker!

28 weeks---well blow me down!

 

[gilz82]

Aw that was good of your DH Madcat. Did he give you control of the creme eggs this time or are they still hidden and being rationed

ive taken control this time, they are on the kitchen windowsill where i can keep my eye on them!

 

[gilz82]

Did you manage to get a better nights sleep last night Madcat?

 

[PeanutBean]

Hello again. I got a bit of sleep after the boy's left but the dog woke me woofing at 9. Slept again but my mum just phoned so I think this is my lot. Can't decide if I feel better or worse for it. My tummy is still off though I don't understand how it can be without food yesterday. I suppose it really is 100% preg symptom.

Madcat please do knock me out til the baby comes, that would be excellent!

Not claiming the time off in lieu officially. I'll not doing any work on my last time so will use it to ease my conscience then or another unproductive day. But it's illegal to work within 11 hours of finishing a shift so I can't work til half 11 and I intend to stick to it! Got too much to do today to take any more time.
