Hi everybody,

Just been on and off last few days again without posting.

Phoebe, poppy, tink, coral, damita, babyd, lupine, PK, Lew, hopeful, regal....

Babyd...sorry to hear about aunt... praying that chemotherapy helps and that she gets on road to recovery soon...

MC... hope you are doing okay. Been thinking about you...

Poppy... going back to the conversation a few days ago, I hope that outside help will help you with your emotions and moods. I was tearing up reading everybody's personal experiences and was touched by how much support there exists on here... you ladies are AMAZING!

Lew... I've been having some bad lower back pain too... it's more like a catch but it's been there constantly almost since I got my BFP. Doc isn't saying anything other than maybe the uterus is sitting on the back/putting pressure hence the pain.

As for me, vomiting seems to have eased just a little bit in the last couple of days... still nauseous and dodgy tummy and crummy appetite... feel completely lethargic all day... my aunt who is a doc suggested I get my thyroid levels checked because low thyroid could cause similar symptoms and also because there's a history of hypothyroidism in my mom's side of the family. Need to get on that...

 

[ladybeautiful]

Oh and forgot to mention, had my nuchal screening last week. baby didn't cooperate and was hanging out upsde down and despite many efforts to get him to move including prodding at my stomach, making me go for a walk etc, baby still wanted to play face-down! But was fun to watch him/her move arms and legs about...

So basically doc said no point taking measurements in the wrong position because they would be off, so can do the 'quad screen' blood toast in a couple of weeks for the same purpose. Not too happy bout that but trying not to worry.

 

[poppy666]

LR sorry to hear your still not so good, make sure you get that check missy i on the otherhand will make sure i get some help too lol bless the little bugger, gotta be male x

 

[ladybeautiful]

Thanks pops Yeah I've been convinced from the start it's a boy but heartbeat's been pretty high all along in the 160s and up so dunno... Did your boys all have lower heartrates like they say?

[poppy666]

I remember my first being 140ish range, but korben's was between 150-160 old wifes tale i think, also them two were always laying on my right x

 

[ladybeautiful]

LOL @them preferring right side... the u/s technician was like 'stubborn baby! We're gonna be here all day trying to get him to move'

I always used to think i'll wait until birth to fnd out sex but now can't wait even until 20 week scan!

daisysmum!

Babydream, so sorry to hear about your aunt. I have a friend with bone cancer and she's doing really well. Even terminal cancers can be halted in their tracks for many years thanks to the treatment we now have. I'll have her in my prayers along with DH gran. Also sorry to hear what happened with work, but life is too short to be in a job that isn't right for you. Me n u can be in the Ding Dong 'bums' group FX you can use the time you will now have free to have a good break, focus on your family and yourself, and find something you will be happy doing. You will be in my thoughts, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you back here when your ready x

RegalPeas, hey honey! Long time no see, its great to have you back lots of for your TWW, missed ya x

Coral, I will try and put my case across. I do stand a good chance I think if I persevere enough. I had SPD, Scolliosis, CFS, B12 deficiency, have large babies, high blood pressure, and a history of Post partum haemorrage Criky.......well I convinced myself there, just gotta work on the consultant Hope your ok hun x

LadyB, sorry to hear your still suffering with the sickness! It should be passing now, FX you'll get a lot better over the next few weeks! I can sympathise with the scan, My ding dong was the same, just flipped over for about 3 mins after about 45 mins coaxing Oh well, don't worry too much honey, them bloods will be accurate enough if there is a higher risk for you x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

The heart rate will lower a little as you get further along LB anyway, but medical studies have shown that it is actually untrue. Its fun guessing still though There seems to be something in babies heart rate at full term and during labour related to gender, but you'll know soon enough then anyway

Mind you with the sickness, I'd say girl but who knows! x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Hiya DM :wave: x

 

[Hopes314]

whoo im up all early todayy (i woke up at noon hehe)

phoebe congrats on the onion- we buy HUGE onions, so maybe its one of those I know someone (i think coral?) mentioned to me that US avocados are smaller than UK it seems. hmm maybe they are confused about their countries.

 

[Hopes314]

tink congrats on the avocado!

ladyb-ive been convinced from the start that ive got a boy in there too. even though im rooting for a girl lol. im surprised to hear you are still having morning sickness, i hope it doesnt drag out that long for me! although mine feels like its leaving. hm

 

[poppy666]

Evening DM

Hope you well and ok you seem quiet

 

[Daisys_mummy]

Yeah I'm ok!

Just chillaxing Had a very busy weekend with hubby racing, he raced both Sat and Sun, and did really well!!!!!! Although I did think I'd married an idiot when he went out in the Distruction Derby
