so not true, their screen is just not wide enough, is difference *is a smartass*

PMSL

hun dont worry every pregnancy is different i felt movement early 2nd time around but it was not all the time i think i started feeling t more about 19 weeks plus xxx

sorry i havent been around i got a lovely letter on friday from tax credits saying that they have over paid us by 5000!!!! i do not know how that is possible because we got an under payment back for 1300 in may!!! so i have been slightly stressed about it and to make it worse their bloody systems are down so i cant sort it out

tomorrow is the day dating scan nt scan its at 8.45am i think i may have bloods done too can i refuse to be screened for downs im not sure if i want it x

Grrr I got told I owed them £1300 and only gave me 3 months to pay it back. We've been pretty skint the last few months.

yeah it says on the letter not to go for bloods before scan so i dunno , reason being i came back at high risk then had the scan and all was fine with aarron i just dont want the worry cause i have a few bits going on does that sound selfish x

You definitely can refuse downs screening. In fact at Frimley you even have to sign a form saying you want it done.

6 more pukes and i'm in the clear
i wonder what baby has against apples and OJ?

my morning sickness was horrendous hunny so horrendous in fact i was hospitalised for it for 4 days, piece of advise is stay clear of OJ and apples or apple juice, my stomach just couldnt handle it and i was told by MW its because there very acidic especially the OJ, i also couldnt handle dairy anything from icecream to butter made me puke YUK was horrible, the only thing i could drink was hot choc made from water not milk

ooh thanks!
sour apples were my mom's saviour when she was preggers with me and it has helped me so far as well, but lately...nope.
and OJ is a nono, but i deal well with mandarins.

oh my, your ms sounds horrible, i'd break down and cry feeling so helpless, i'd run out of options of things to eat sooo quickly.
shame hot choc doesn't appeal to me anymore, i used to LOVE chocolate, like eat several bars a day LOVE haha,
but i do have a newfound love for soup, the "fresh" kind from a can, not minute soup, the smell of that makes me gag!

Lol @ TB *smartass*

AFM ... i think i'm getting Braxton Hicks!! Oh my! Thought i was imagining it at first, but nope, rock hard bump then soft squishy bump! Groovy! Can't remember when they started with Jasmine. Must ask MW on Thursday.

Tomorrow i've got the loony assessment. Half hoping they cart me off to MIllbrook for a bit of peace .. i swear my kids don't want me to relax at all! Spent most of the evening sorting their PC out coz it was overloaded with viruses (blaming 14yr old DS for that one...can you guess what he's been lookin at???)

Currently crocheting some sort of animal creation.. not sure what it's gonna be yet. Made 2 snakes last week haha.

LOL. When I was first admitted to hospital with Jessica it was nice to have a rest and read my books. By the end of 12 weeks I spent in there the novelty wore off a bit lol.

Hope your appt goes well.

Bloody hell Vick 12 weeks

 

[Vickieh1981]

Yep. Nightmare lol.

I was in 23-35 weeks with Jessica and they induced. In with Maff from 22-34 weeks and then induced.

OMG Vickie you trooper,thats my worst nightmare- how did the kids and hubby get on without you? ...i'm praying for my BP to stay down this time x

 

[Vickieh1981]

When I was in with Jessica it was okay as my Mum wasn't working so she had the kids but by the time I had Maff she was full time again. Johns work gave me 2 weeks compassionate leave but after that it had to be holiday and unpaid. Sucked a bit tbh.

I was in and out though - so I did get to go home for a few days if I stopped bleeding long enough. They said 10% chance of it happening this time :s

 

[Firedancer41]

i'll bring cake for everyone!!!

Mmmm I'll take some! LOL They have a mobile cupcake truck that makes stops at random places for a couple hours, or until they run out. They are the big expensive gourmet cupcakes. They were due to make a stop near me Saturday, but alas I had to work and didn't make it I need a cupcake!! LOL

Sorry for the MS probs, TB. I know you said the thought of ginger turns your stomach, but how about peppermint? I have a stomach soothing herbal supp that contains ginger and peppermint...sometimes if I am out I give my kids peppermint tea when they have tummy issues-seems to work well.

 

[tinybutterfly]

^^ i have a bag of peppermints right next to me
they help, but only for as long as i'm eating them, then it comes back right after.
i'm not a tea person tbh, for some reason whenever i have tea i get bloated, no idea what causes it
