SEA - different sources say different times. I moved over at 13 weeks tho - congratulations!

H, thanks for your thoughts. We're ok - few tears this morning, more tomorrow I expect. But mostly we're giving thanks for the good work she has done for Folic awareness, the wellbeing of BrunetteBimbo's surprise bean among others, and the wonderful gift of her little brother.

Morning ladies! I'm off on holiday today for a week - yay! Its come just at the right time as I've been feeling so much better so I'll enjoy it but so knackered that a break is just what I need. Will be almost 12 weeks when I get back so great way to pass the time too! Hope you all have a good weeks and in the words of Tulip - no dramas while I'm away! xxx

 

[Tulip]

Have a great time hon! Enjoy the rest xx

Hi Ladies!

Long time no gossip!

Afraid i have been (am) an emotional wreck so have not felt able to join in some of these long threads i've been loving. Was just an evil witch to DH this morning for no reason at all blaming him for irrelevant stuff and sobbing like he had really wronged me. I have probably sent him to work in a foul mood. Everything, yes EVERYTHING makes me want to sob. I even had a full on cry in the supermarket when they had no lettuce last week

DH is being soooo understanding, but i am finding the blues a bit hard to bear. I know it will pass and i know it is just the damned hormones but i hate feeling so sad.

We have had some VERY positive moments - the 20 wk scan was brilliant and little spud is looking great and is......a boy! I always thought we were having a boy so it made me feel all happy and smug like mummy knew all along but we have been really happy. It's just this last week or so that has been tough.

My lack of sleep is probably not helping either. DH just jokes that it's preparation for when the baby arrives and i guess he is right!

I'm sorry girls. Didn't want to moan, that's why i've not been posting. Must think cheery thoughts!!!

TripleB - have an amazing holiday!! Enjoy every second. Where are you going??

Tulip - I hope Ruby's date went ok for you guys. It must have been very tough. I hope her little brother gave you some nice little kicks to show how he loves you all too.

Oh you poor thing I expect these things will come and go with hormone changes and lack of sleep turns me into an evil witch from hell too

Munch has been fairly quiet today but I think he's on a growth spurt as I've grown again overnight. Congratulations on your perfect little man

 

[blondee]

Thanks Tulip. Congrats to you too! I am loving team blue...

Just called OH to apologise and he was fine, sounded more concerned about me. I picked a good one!

[MadamRose]

Aww hope you feel better soon blonde.
Tulip its lovely your growing.
I am very happy today, my OH has come round to my wish for a homebirth.

 

[Tulip]

Wonderful news, Due! xx

 

[MadamRose]

Yes having problems with MW's contradicting each other with me having spotting at 24 weeks. one says yes other says no. But with one saying yes. i know its might right even if both were saying no. So becuase one is saying yes i think im def gonna tell my MW next appointment i want all the info etc and start to get it underway. If baby was at any risk at all or i was to early/late i would g straight in, i wouldnt put her at risk. but if everything is fine why not?

 

[Tulip]

Absolutely. The MWs know when it's time to transfer, if youre not miles from the hospital, go for it. If it becomes an emergency (unlikely) they'll still need time to prep theatre - it's just that you'll be on your way in an ambulance rather than sat on the ward shouting "Why aren't we in theatre yet??"

Michelle, you certainly picked a good one there, bird!

 

[MadamRose]

Yes we have ambluance station about 1min away as im about 5 mins drive from m1 so its situated close. and in ambulace 10mins to get to hospital. Im so excited about it all. and means more to prepare so time goes quicker

 

[Agiboma]

triple B, have fun on your hols!

due - that's great news! i hope to have a home birth the 2nd time around but didn't want to freak dh out too much the first time... he's a nervous guy

blondee - hello! hope the hormones give you a break soon. glad dh understands and is being supportive.

as for me, i am having leg and foot aches from hell! dh has given me lots of foot rubs and tomorrow i'm going to the massage therapist... thank goodness!!!!! my gams ache so much! i also get jumpy legs at night which is weird. they annoy me so much i have to go to bed when it starts. anyone else get this?

 

[MadamRose]

Yes if this goes well i will have one 2nd time around to but really wanted one this time as i beleive it being our 1st born it will be very speical beign at home. And next time we will have more to arrange with already having a child at home iykwim.

I had an awful night last night my back was playing me up, and had a really sore throat all night. I was waking up about every 30-45 mins feeling like i was gonna be sick (never was) and its still carryig on this morning

Hi All

Hope everyone is generally fine

Just found this and thought it was a good watch - particularly for the early 3d scans which you generally don't see

[fluffyblue]

hi guys well so much for no scans...

Had one today at EPU as hubby wanted me to get checked out and in a way im so glad he did.

There was one little fat bubba with a perfect hb and they even put me forward 2 days !! at 10+1.

They did some swabs and reckon the mucus is the progesterone pessaries.

Im so relieved as never got this far before xxx
