Hello ladies

Glad to hear is well with you - kbkb, we like to make sure you are ok

Well I am a lucky girl!! One of my DHs colleagues has been really kind to us (in fact she was one of the few who knew we were TTC and she recommended preseed to us!) and her youngest LO has just grown out of his cot so she has given it to us!! So excited as they dropped it off at the house this morning - cant wait to see it!! She is also loaning me her reusable nappies! Gonna save us so much - I feel really blessed! I feel a bit overwhelmed though as we now have much more stuff than I imagined we would at this time! Oh well

Hi ladies! All is well here. Been have episodes of spotting and after a million different blood and urine tests, they can't find anything wrong at all so I am not worried anymore. My bloat started going away and was replaced with a bump, finally! Some of it is still bloat but not much! I have also been feeling baby for the past few days and I know it is the baby finally! Was trying to upload a pic but I don't know how from my phone.

 

[kbkb]

Certain- WOW! that's what I call a good friend! Lucky you!

[MustangGTgirl]

Hi Beauty!! Glad to see you again, it's been a while since the SMEP days.

 

[Beauty2]

Thanks so much, Steph!!!

I didn't have many symptoms...not near as many as I had in the other months I wasn't pregnant. the only thing(s) I really noticed differently was I had some pulling in tugging at my belly button on 6dpo and 7dpo. And (TMI) my urine sticks REALLY bad! Ugh! Other than that I'm doing okay.

According to FF, I'm due on July 2nd. Have called the doc yet. Haven't even told OH yet I feel bad but he left early this morning after I took the digi and I didn't want to tell him on the phone. How long does a digi read "pregnant"? Does anyone know? And where can I buy one of those digi's that says 3+ weeks pregnant? I want to surprise OH buy gifting him a preggo test.

 

[Beauty2]

Hey Mustang!

 

[steph1505]

Haha i was the same...had loads of symptoms the months i got BFNs then nothing the month we fell pregnant!

Aww i dont know where u can get those tests from...i used wee sainsburys own brand tests lol!

When will u get a chance to tell ur OH? Aw u must b so excited! Xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Yaaaay Beauty!! So lovely to see you here

I can't believe you haven't told your OH yet, I just assumed you had! I got one of those digs from boots, but you can get them from most places round here! They are my fave hpt's

How's everyone else today?

Certain - love that little crib, so cute!

Oh I can't wait to start getting all that stuff down from the loft!

We only have a 2 bed house so DS and Squiggle will be sharing a room at some point, so I'm going to have to get my creative head on to try and get lots of storage stuff / make use of the space! His room is huge so there's plenty of room, it's just all taken up with boxes of toys at the mo!

[TrAyBaby]

hey chicas ive been a bit of a stress head this week with my symptoms coming and going so my OH booked me a private scan to put my mind at ease since the docs wont let me have another one till 12 weeks. The scan is in an hour eeeeeeeeeek better go drink some water x

 

[steph1505]

Morning!!

Aw tray - hope the scan puts ur mind at ease! The first trimester is hard enough but i can imagine its more stressful with ur history! But im sure everything is ok!! My symptoms used to come and go...id have a few good days then boom! They came back! Cant wait to hear how the scan goes!!

Smiley - we have a 2 bedroom too so Brandon and baby will need to share too! I was drawing out plans of a new room layout yesterday haha! We will have enough room...but im just like...where will i put all brandons toys! He currently has 3 toyboxes...a rocking horse...a huge buzz ligtyear rocket car and a drawing desk!! Lol im gonna need to have a MASSIVE clearout before xmas i think!! I think we'll need another wardrobe tho but thats the only thing! Were gonna look to move in 2013! Or sooner if OH gets a new job! Ive seen a house online i absolutely love but i dnt wanna go see it cos i know il be heartbroken if we cant put an offer in! He has an interview next week! Keep ur fingers crossed!!

Ive started having nosebleeds! I remember this from last time! Its soooo annoying! Im having about 5 a day! Ive had two already this morning! That should be fun in work!

Wots eveyone doin today? Suprise suprise...im working tonight! Thats 3 xfactors il have had to catch up on! Xxxxx

 

[Beauty2]

I told him when he got home last night. Just didn't want to do it on the phone.

Okay, so now that I'm preggers....here comes more worry....so I keep getting this tight feeling on the right side. Could it be a ectopic pregnancy? What are the chances of that? I've never had one before. Should I go to the doc to find out or should I wait? I'm going nuts here! Ugh!!

 

[smiley330]

Good luck at your scan Tray - looking forward to seeing more pics

Beauty - Oh try not to worry. I had that exact same thought. I was getting really bad cramps / sharp pains in the side and I was convinced at one point it was ectopic (that was Dr Google's fault) - if you are worried, go and get it checked. But i'm sure it's just the usual pulling etc that means your bub is getting nice and snuggled in there!!

Steph - That is the exact same thing!! haha, I am just going to have a huge clearout of all his toys etc and throw away loads that are not needed. Space is of the essence!! Oooh FX for you OH's interview - let us know how it goes!!

Booo to missing more X.factor - I'll watch tonights for you x x x

 

[Beauty2]

Thanks, Smiley! It comes and goes and I googled it. Says something about the corpus lutheum and/or the uterus stretching. I'll probably still go to the doc but I'm not as worried anymore.

So glad I can depend on you girls

 

[steph1505]

Morning ladies!! How'd u enjoy ur saturdays?

Beauty - try not to worry! I remember us all having it! It will jst be stretching! I still only get the pain down my left side! Smileys right tho...google is not ur friend haha!! It jst makes u panic!!

Smiley - haha space is def of the essence! My work is having a half price toy sale nxt week but im really gonna try jst get some jigsaws etc! Wee things lol! Ive been trying to get a big buzz lightyear toybox off the little tikes website but i think its only available in USA!

AFM - this is absolutely ridiculous but i am totally in the xmas spirit haha!! Last nite in work i seen we had a discontinued laptop so i queried it and with my discount i got it for jst over £200!! So thats my OH's xmas sorted! His laptop is literally 9 years old so its a mission for him to try update his ipod or wotever lol!! But im gonna go get wrappin paper today and wrap it so that he cant find it! Hehe!! Im too excited!! xxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

Morning!

Hope you have all had lovely weekends so far!

Beauty - eeeeek oh im so happy for you! Congratulations and welcome Try not to worry, I had lots of twinges in my first few weeks You can always moan to us though!

Steph - dont worry I was like that the other day It is sort of almost christmas I am already making my list and it sounds like you got a great bargin!!

TrAy - how did the scan go? hope it gave you some reassurance

AFM - well we now have a cot set up...very exciting and some how makes it very real . There wasnt any instructions so we had ummm 'fun' trying to work it out we still need to get a mattress etc but that can wait a bit. esp as we will be using a crib for the first few months. Also very excitingly DH felt LO kick for the first time yesterday we were lying in bed and he had his hand on my tumy and LO gave a big kick and he jumped a mile and said..oooo was that one? I was very happy I have to say
On the downside we spent a couple of hours wandering around town yesterday and my hip/back really started playing up I really hope it doesnt continue to get worse - any ideas how to help it? are you allowed to use heat packs/ heated bean bags in preg?

Also ps...im an onion...eeek
