I love the name twicky.
Well I can relax for a while. Inspection went well and he wanted to make sure it didn't effect my housing benefit which it doesnt so phew. The girls technically have to share a bedroom based on Local Housing Allowance rules until there 16.

smiley, can't believe you're 19 weeks tomorrow, almost half way Yeh we made up pretty quickly, I just needed to rant and calm down because it's one of them pet hates to me, all good now, just missing him like crazy

dark, I'm glad your inspection went well

Jox, hope you had a lovely day out yesterday

twicky, it's an unusual name, not heard it before but it's cute

hunni, I think this thread is so fast paced, comments get left behind, happened to me a few times but I don't mind.

I was just lying here enjoying feeling little kicks from Lily then Riley comes in "singing"... more like a wailing cat in a spin cycle noisy little bugger

has anyone heard from Elmo, she has been very quiet lately and hope she is alright after her scary day

[CarlyP]

I think it's just such a fast paced thread comments get missed, I read them all but forget by the time I post.

A bit like now....

I've had a killer migrane this weekend so haven't been on much.

 

[darkriver]

Hope you feel better soon Carly

 

[smileyfaces]

I think Scarlett has her scan first?! May be wrong though. Mines not till next Friday (10th)

Hugs Carly!

I can barely keep my eyes open! I'm working so that's no good lol! I've been on-and-off dizzy and have been having cramping for almost a week now. Haven't bothered to call the OB because the office tells me to go to the ER no matter what my issue is, they are useless and can never get me in for an appt, just "go to the hospital if you're worried." I am not sure if I'm somehow contracting or if it's just round ligament, but it's certainly more painful than I had last pregnancy.

Psych wants to pull me from work if I don't improve, but we're going to try medication changes and see if it makes a difference. Meanwhile I need to find out definitely whether I could go off now and still qualify for paid benefits - otherwise I have to work my full shifts (3 days a week) until beginning of September to qualify or else I get no paid mat leave. I'm in such a catch-22 with that, because I'm having a hard time being motivated to work, along with all the physical symptoms and mental stresses.

We are moving in 2 weeks into my parents house (for 3 weeks) and then into our new house. I have more stresses than I need in my life right now.

Oh, and it seems my legs are already swelling at 15 weeks - is that bad? I don't remember having swelling last time until over 30 weeks.

 

[Jox]

Oh blimey missfrick, try and find time to relax too xx

Carly, hope ur ok X

Mines a week after urs smiley xx

 

[Jox]

It says the 6th for scarlet on the front page but says gender scan but I'm guessing it's her anomaly scan not gender xx

 

[smileyfaces]

Missfrick I posted last week about painful BH...maybe you are having the same thing? With regards to dizziness make sure you are eating and drinking enough I'm also dreading working up until September!!

Yes it must be a 20week scan rather than a gender scan Jox! I knew Scarlett was first though. I think Elmo is the day before me on the 9th. Other than that I have no idea about anyone else's!

We are moving house on the 17th June...looking forward to being settled in our new house but just can't be bothered packing everything up and unpacking!

 

[almosthere]

My scan is June 14th I have to see at specialist like in my last pregnancy so it will probably be 3d but insurance is saying they won't cover it but it's for medical reasons not just for fun ugh. I have to get bloodwork tomorrow for downs tests and such the routine testing and then my last check for fifths is next week. I think I actually have my ob appt the day after my ultrasound and the eeeek before or after I have my regular annual obgyn apt busy busy

 

[missfrick]

Smiley - yes I'm assuming they are BH, because I can't imagine I'm having actual contractions at 15 weeks. I'm definitely going to start making some calls to see about whether I qualify for any benefits before September, I honestly can't imagine working the next 3 months straight - both mentally and physically it's too much for me (yes, sitting in a chair is too much for me for hours on end. Hurting my back and belly

Hi all!

Jemma I'm ok chick thanks for thinking of me, been a bit stressful past week or so with one thing and another, I won't bore you with details but an old accident Ben had in December crawled out of the woodwork claiming to sue him for negligence (she thought she had stalled her 4x4 she didn't even know he had bumped her!) but now she's claiming whiplash - that old chestnut. Friends dad did my plastering and not for mates rates, he's not insulated something he said he would or rather he has but he's used paper! So damp must have got in as there's white mould appeared on that patch in the babies room! So have had that to sort out before we can go any further with the room. Didn't look like Ben was going to get paid today and all bills due out tomorrow! (he has been paid in the end). Worst of all my eldest has said how it might be nice living at his dad's which I'm heartbroken about but trying not to let on to him

On a happy note I can suddenly feel baby kicking quite a bit!

twicky I think the name goes beautifully with you other dd's name

Smiley I don't envy you moving in June but will be nice to get settled in new house before new baby.

huni - I haven't heard of slapped cheek referred to as Parvo before either and it's something that dogs die of here as well, my white Alsatian died from Parvo when I was young x

 

[JemmaLouise]

Oh Elmo I'm glad you're okay I'm sorry to hear you've had a bit of a shitty time, it's horrible how everything happens at once, I really hope everything sorts itself out shame about your eldest but hopefully he decides to stay with you, have you discussed it with him? x

 

[Scarlett P]

Hello ladies.

Sorry am here and have been reading just not had chance to reply really as things be rather manic at home and just feeling rather hormonal but didn't want to post negative stuff and depress everyone!!

Yes my 20 week scan is on Monday and they won't tell you gender here so we won't be able to find out. Looking forward to seeing Dinky again and knowing all is ok.

Good luck with the moving Smiley.

Sorry you've had a rubbish day Elmo, that must be tough with your eldest.

Jox hope things are better now with in laws.

Twicky love your names! We want another vowel name for this baby.

Sorry for all the posts I've missed!

 

[Christina86]

My next scan is the 10th. We plan, as of right now, to find out.

I also have to do the test for GD on the 10th. Gross.

Haven't been feeling little kick or flutters recently. I can't wait until it's much more. It always makes me nervous but I know it won't be frequent for a bit at least. I'm only 17+3

 

[almosthere]

Parvo is not fifths disease it's called slapped cheek then another long medical name I can't spell haha not related to Parvo I retest for fifths next wednesday

 

[darkriver]

This is the UK website for our health service. Thats what my doctor called it.

 

[darkriver]

Elmo sorry to hear about all the stuff. It all happens at once doesnt it. I am wide awake at 4am for no good reason lol.

 

[ElmoBumpToBe]

Scarlet Hun don't worry about being negative do you want to talk about it? Totally happy to listen if you do! I just posted all my negative crap!

Jemma I bet you can't wait for DH to get back now? I have tried to be really light hearted about it as he's a really perceptive boy for his age and I don't want him to decide to stay here with us just because he doesn't want to upset me, but then again is he too young to make this decision himself? I think he might change his mind if he was aloud to try it as he will be sent to before and after school clubs etc while his dad is at work and I don't see the point in that when he could be with us, problem being I'm not sure his dad would be so quick to let him come home, especially once he gets used to not paying any maintenance, which if I'm honest I think is his main motivation!!! I really want us to stay a family. I don't know what to do xx

Dark I wonder if it's in anyway related to the infection in animals then that cats carry and that's dangerous for dogs, or if it's entirely different and just happens to have the same name? Xx

Almost I really hope it's all clear Hun! Have a feeling it will be X
