Hi ladies! Sorry been so quiet, been feeling crap this week, have a cold and have started feeling a bit sick too.

Mo I had quite bit of brown cm yesterday too, and panicked a bit last night cause I checked my cervix and I swear it is more open than it has been. Cm has gone back to normal today though so trying not to worry too much.

I am planning to breastfeed again, it worked out really well with Erin and I fed her until ten months so hoing to do something similar with this one too.

Names, think we are having Samuel Robert for a boy but not sure about a girl, want something that's not too popular at the minute but still traditional, quite like Heather Eve, also like Ivy and Violet but hubby not keen!!

We have an early scan booked! Going on Mon 19th Dec, will be eight and a half weeks so hopefu

Stupid phone!! Was trying to say hopefully we should see quite a bit!

Does anyone know when using your iPhone if you start typing a reply and then somehow if you end up further back up in the text box how you get back to the bottom again to finish what you were writing? I can't work it out!

Hello ladies,

I worked from 11 till 7 today and had a really bad dream about it last night. I dreamt I'd worked too hard and I started to bleed red blood and leak fluid (which I believed in the dream to be amneotic fluid. I kept trying to get to the hospital and I woke this morning and had to check to make sure I wasn't bleeding, the dream was that vivid and believable. It really affected me and I felt guilty about going to work today It doesn't help that I didn't get my break for 4 and a half hours it was so busy

Other than this, I have been sick again this evening

Mos - I have had brown blood twice so far and am still fine, don't worry about it hun I'm sure your fine

Broody - sorry I have a HTC so cant help you

Hope your all ok

ps when I told my assistant boss about the dream she said ' your six weeks not six months, get over it' I was so angry, not only am I seven weeks now first trimester can be the worst

 

[Broodypants]

Kitty how horrible of your assistant boss to say that! If you were six months it would be much easier not to worry, what a bitch! Try not to worry about work hon, your body will let you know if you're overdoing it. X

Hi lady i hope you are all having a good week end and them that have had a bit of a bleed hoping it is nothing.

I was not sick yesterday for the 1st time in 2 weeks yay! But felt so ill by bed time with a realy bad head and a tummy to full as we had mcdonnals for tea (never agane).

Is every 1 ready for Xmas?
I finshed rapping all the gifts yesterday but i have got nothing for DH yet as it is so hard to buy for him it is his b'day on Friday as well but got him some thing for that.

 

[molly85]

Half ready lol I'm refussingto stress this year. We're seeing inlaws boxing day if we don't make it forx-mas day their just down the road. It will be intresting to see how Abby handles the day we'll prob spend the next week getting her back on schedule lol

 

[misse04]

Got 3 presents left to buy and might do some extra bits on the internet then I've wrapped half of the presents might finish them today. Got massive family but haven't been able to buy much as we've got Connie this year and mine and OH family is spread out with brothers and sisters and mums and dads split up so we've got a lot of people to get round then dinner at my mums so haven't got to worry about that

 

[stardust599]

We went to my sisters for Xmas dinner last year, I took LO's swing and she slept in it for the whole of dinner haha.

How are you ladies with babies/toddlers coping with the tiredness? It's the only thing I really can't handle! I'm about to collapse. Just put LO in cot as she's tired and whingy so fingers crossed she settles to sleep and I can go back to bed for an hour. We went a wander out in the fresh air this morning and I felt better.

Trying to plan stuff to keep us busy but burns LO's energy while allowing me to rest!

LO has outgrown her swimming stuff but going to get her a warm wetsuit and a ring so she can bob and splash about in the water while I rest (in the water watching her of course haha). They do toddler swimming every Monday morning and warm the pool up. Then there's an active play group on a Monday afternoon which will hopefully tire LO out and she'll be okay until OH gets home.

Tuesday morning we'll go a walk then home for a nap, Young Mum's group where 2 of my best friends will probably be there and will hopefully realise I am exhausted and take turns at amusing/watching LO for me while I sit on my backside for an hour!

I'm working Weds morning only this week which will be my little rest from LO I will get a nice cup of fruity tea (gone off coffee) and have to do the billing run for work which will only take a couple of hours. Then home for toddler's group and gossip with other best friend then home for naptime hopefully! Then on Thursday I have my Xmas lunch with work and Mum is taking LO for me and on holiday all Thursday/Friday!

But JEEZ I am exhausted! And I feel guilty as LO is noticing she isn't getting my full attention and I get upset I haven't seen her as much but then when I do get lots of time with her I'm too tired and sick to do anything with her!

 

[misse04]

I usually take LO out everyday but last sunday I was so ill that i think my body was telling me to rest a bit so did less this week and felt so much better. LO is very hard to entertain at the moment she wants to be moving (rolling) all the time and wont be put down for a second so finding that a bit hard

 

[molly85]

Misse you have about 3 weeks left of that and your through teh 6 months hurdle we've just come out of it I nearly cried. I gave up on going out everyday as we to contend with having to be back to see Matt get up and send him to work so every other day We def get more 1:1 time like that plus I'm not actually sure I can walk far.

MW tomorrow should I take Abby or see if I can get Matt or someone to look after her

 

[misse04]

I'll be counting down the days I'll be taking Connie, not much point in not taking her, mines thursday

 

[molly85]

It's going to be at Nap time so ideally we'd walk but its up hill and frickin freezing. Might have to bring my old friend the dummy out shhhhhhhh don't tell the MIL she thinks I binned them much to her disgust. It can def go in my notes I may have an issue with baby laying down fat as Abby is still tiny

 

[tmr1234]

I got told if you have small kids to ask somw 1 to have them as it taks so long to fill every thing in that they may get fed up it takes about 1hr some times more

 

[molly85]

Ah bit late in the day now, my previous MW was actually having her cateracts fixed the day after my booking appointment so can't be worse than that

 

[stardust599]

I can't handle being ill much longer

Sick sick sick and tired.

Does anyone know what sickle cell tests and thalasseamia tests involve? I got to have them this time as my Dad is from Poland. No mention of it with LO though! Is it just an extra blood test? Don't we give enough blood in pregnancy!

 

[molly85]

prob just another vial, no worries it'll be 1 needle with the others. I get several extra sets of bloods so am no longer bothered
How come you need it now not before?

I don't know. It's a new thing they've introduced, everyone from high risk areas has to be tested - think it's like Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia etc?

 

[Broodypants]

I just looked it up, it's another blood test along with all the other stuff we get screened for!

I feel sick today too, and bloated and tired! And my glands are really sore. Puh!

Got some time off over xmas though, nearly three weeks so can't wait!

Hope everyone else is ok
