Oh girls, I've had a bit of a crappy day!

I've felt like Aunt Flo is arriving at any minute. If she arrives that puts me at only 8DPO and also means I picked the wrong day for my blood test last week.

The thing that has really upset me was a throwaway remark a colleague made at lunchtime. One of the ladies said that she was really pleased for her friend who had just adopted a little girl, and that her friend had her boy six years ago, but then couldn't get pregnant again. Then this other colleague pipes up that "Some people don't get pregnant no matter what medical advances there are, and people should just accept it if they can't...of course I got pregnant every time within a month of coming off the pill."

Well I wanted to just burst into tears. This lady doesn't know I'm going for tests and I know I'm hormonal and oversensitive but I'm not the only one in that room who is TTC and the other girl had a miscarriage a few months ago. I just thought it was such a stupid thing to say, so unintentionally hurtful.

Hubby bought me chocolate which is helping...

Oh pinky. Flippant remarks seem to come more frequent when people don't know what your going through. Everything your doing is to help you get your answers and your baby. I know it's hard but positivity is the best way forward.

Keep smiling xxx

its really hard when you get comments like that pinky keep you chin up i think its hard as everything is a secret.

Bp and eating have been ok samie- maybe il have some dried apricots as snacks incase iron is a bit low- it was fine last test tho

glad your rash is nothing major betty, i will diagnose you with weird unexplained pregnancy rash syndorme

had parent craft again tonight. we did a lot on BF and i really enjoyed it and found it interesting. im def more prepred ot try it but im staying open that if it doesnt work out its not my fault.

we were bad parents along iwth another couple as we have cats! we had to endure the anti cat lecture and under no circumstances should cat be near baby!!! im not going to just abandon baby and cats together but its not going to be segregation unless the cats so decide it that way. i did want to suggest that maybe the other couples rotty might maul the baby or the budgie might peck it to death but i was good

i got some (two) light weight swaddling blankets just in case the other day but she said under no circumstances should we swaddle?! it makes them too hot? i got the proper swaddle me wrap things with velcro. maybe somebody can shed some light as they also said never let a baby sleep with you and i know many of you managed that one ok too!!

personally will not be co-sleeping as im a real big fidget and like to cocoon myself and hubby sleeps like a log but will have crib next to me xxx

 

[Honeybear1976]

I have not swaddled any of mine at home Anna but the 2 youngest were swaddled in scbu and it hasnt done them any harm. All mine have co slept with us too, ive had the danger lecture on the paeds ward when Ollie was in with his bronchilitis but on scbu they had leaflets on how you can co sleep safely
Pinky unfortunately you will find ppl being flippant and you will be oversensitive to it. When you want a baby everyone will have one or be pregnant
Xx

 

[betty14]

thank you honey and anna i am relieved its nothing serious, always worth getting things checked out and thanks for the diagnosis anna feel much better

anna it drives me nuts when people are totally anti cat.... er hello cat owners arent ******s after one too many 'the cat will suffocate the baby' lectures from complete strangers i looked into the stats of babies being smothered by cats and there is NO known cases thats right ZERO known!!!

glad you are more interested in bf now its fab you have an open mind so if it doesnt work out you wont beat yourself up

at our parent craft we were told to swaddle as some babies really like the feeling of being wrapped up like it!

ultimately he is your baby so you do whats right fir you because when the door is closed you and oh are the ones raising him!!

its been so nice and warm here, they are saying we will have highs of 24 this week!! i said we need to whine its too hot now

can i ask those who have had babies when they go lower in abdo does it makes tiddle frequency go up? i seriously cant go an hour!

pinky hope she doesnt arrive for you, ppl will have flippant comments especially when they havent had any trouble concieving, like you say it wasnt personal but when your ttc with no luck they feel personal!! chin up hun and try to let it roll off your shoulders

love that hubby bought chocolate he is a keeper

x x x

 

[Honeybear1976]

Yes Betty the tiddle frequency will go up tons at the end
Cant say ive ever heard the warning about cats smothering babies? We are not cat lovers ourselves very much dog ppl though we dont have one, but I only thought their poo was a worry when pregnant and if kids touch it and rub their eyes? If they are wellntaken care of cats cant see any problems. I would never get rid of the pet for the baby, as I would always treat a pet like a member of the family. Have to say Samie and Betty's cat photos the cats are gorgeous x

 

[pink23]

Hi girls a quick one from here is a link to my new journal about baby esmae xx Esmae

[sara15h1986]

Morning Ladies,

Just had a call from my doctors - my folate levels are low and have been given a prescription to help with that

 

[annanouska]

thanks pink- im going to get a read on it soon! hope your all good.

its glorious here too, its my last week of work im on 8-4 (fave shift) and its sunny!

can I ask a pain question? not sure if im getting BH or not. i heard they dont hurt? i keep getting period like cramps, about a 4 on 1-10. they are low down where they normally are and grip me for between 3-10 mins. they are not at regular intervals and not more than 2/3 a day but really quite painful im drinking plenty and extra for the hot weather too

also ive been getting 'pain spots' like little areas of pain, had it at sid eof belly button and along the bottom of my 'bump' (mine is a bit weird as i have my bump then apron under it ) they are liek sore bruises or pressing down pain. again not all the time but keep getting them. i thinkt hey may be irritation from the kicking

uh oh got another cramp feels like they are getting stronger! you will be really proud of me ive not called the hospital or anything!!! ive no other issues other than being uncomfy with the tiddle factor seriously its ridiculous!!!

baby had a quiet day today but still felt him move at tiems so thats good.

hope everyone is well- sorry ive babbled on will put a better post later on xxxx

 

[Samie18]

Call in if your worried. You can get UTI's that can irritate the uterus and cause tightenings or they could just be BH. Some people say they can be painful/uncomfortable and irrugular with no time or strength pattern but you know you can get checked out =o)

Thought i'd add some new summary pics =o)
Were heading back to Norfolk tonight =o(

[betty14]

honey you are right about the cats poo, some cats carry toxoplasmosis whichcan cause blindness, not sure if its from touching eyes tho we are all exposed to it at some point tho because its found in soil so therefore veg can have it on!

thanks for saying about my cats, they are are special and are very pretty but they know it

sara glad they are sorting you out did you have any symptoms?

anna ive been getting lots of period type pain too, think its normal to get it ive also been getting lots and lots and lots of bh they dont hurt at all but are soooooo tight lol!

like samie said go get checked if your worried at all

my lo seems to be having lots of quiet days as long as i feel her i dont worry too much!

samie the pics are adorable love her hat!! do you not like living in norfolk?

pink, i read your journal, so glad all is going well and hopefully esmae will be home with you soon

x x x

 

[annanouska]

i love the name esmae! everyone on here has picked a good name

Not sure if ive had any BH but these 'pains' are annoying they just ache and linger-im wondering if its where our LOs are going head down and sitting lower? im trying to not go to hospital over everything so il just keep an eye on it. if it got really bad or other issues id go but got MW thurs so will ask then

think ive taken my last bath for a bit- showers here on in-when i lay on my side bump crashed into the sid eof bath so i laid back to relax and watched this mound appear on my belly and he wriggled into a weird point!! very creepy LOL! love it lots but its weird in the bath xxx

 

[sara15h1986]
