The official cerazette missing period support thread!! *NAME CHANGE*

[Abbi808]

Wow Pinky! That's amazing! Gone so fast! You must be so excited! How much have you bought babywise so far?

Sarah - Good luck to your OH for his new job and to you for your bfp!

Betty - I would probably go down the family law route if I had to choose one but if the makeup goes well I doubt I will ever go back to it. Sitting in an office every day just seems so boring now! haha! I mean, if the business didn't work out I would always have it to fall back on but I am crossing my fingers that it doesn't come to that. My bf can support us whilst I get a client base established so there is no rush, hopefully by next summer I will be doing weddings every week - that would be amazing!

Anna - You have to do what's right for you! Things change when you have a baby, I know that for me there is no way I would be happy being away from Jake all week. Even when he's bigger I want to be around to pick him up from school, make his dinner etc. My bf works full time and he misses so much. I want more babies in the future too so it's just not an option for me. Maybe you could retrain to do something you are passionate about whilst working part time as a tutor or exam marker etc? Or you could start whilst on maternity? A woman on my course works in advertising and said that she really wishes that she had trained as a makeup artist whilst she was on maternity because of all the free time she had then. Don't carry on for years with a job you hate, you will only regret it!! Very annoying about the docs too - that's crazy that they would have left it another 8 weeks. Glad you got him an app in the end! I haven't thought about Xmas, got Jakey's birthday first! Ahhhhhh!

Anna, that's terrible about his jabs.... Seems like your gp need new reception staff! Do they not have imams clinics every week?

What do you think you would like to do for a job? Do you need to go back to work?

Lol at the foot size he is probably going to be tall then eh?? My niece has always had big feet and is v tall for her age but then her dad is over 6ft!

Sara sounds lovely, is it a fancy one that parks itself and all that jazz? The SUV sound like a lot of money but if you can afford it why not I guess!

Abbie i think family law would prob be more interesting... Although prob hard on the heart strings I would think at times!

Daisy has started to wear a couple of 3-6 bits now it's super sad lol! Although she is still in some newborn too so goes to show how rubbish the sizing on baby clothes really is!!

X x x

 

[annanouska]

LOL Betty-was just thinking about the sizing about an hour ago. I have dug out his 3-6 coats and a pair of leggins and two body suits. i have also dug out a 6-9 body suit which is hte same size as the one he has on today!!!! I only just realised i have no vests in 3-6 so shopping yey

Jabs went ok no grizzling until 6 hrs later when he had a real ding dong for around an hour then settled but he is super sleepy he does have weird sleepy days though so may be that. I think this will jinx it BUT- past two nights he has sort of sttn!!! last night we got 10-6 and the night before was 9-5.30 i dont expect it everyday and i know it wont last but ws exciting all the same!

No idea what kind of job i would do- i think i do need to work just to give us some breathing room

how is everyone doing? my family are up this weekend again kind of in a strop as sister has just had £300 hair extensions put in and paid for by parents not ot sound like brat but she is so spoilt it is unreal! I get on well with her but honestly she doenst have to do any chores, gets her uni things paid for by them and her clothes, mobile phone bill and this!! I had to pay keep, get my own clothes, phone, uni etc etc. My mum doesnt want her to grow up and leave home so i htink she just gets spoilt as bribery, makes me mad xxx

 

[betty14]

Anna how old is your sister is she much younger than you? Seems odd your parents would treat you so differently, they could always buy you bits for Marcus now

We always had to pay our way to our mum it's good practice for when you leave home and have real bills to pay!!

I heard that most babies cope well with first imms but suffer more after 2nd ones.... I'm hoping this isn't true for Daisy's sake I don't like to think of her feeling poorly or in pain at all.... Either way on weds I'll be dosing her with calpol half an hour before

That's great for his sleeping... He will be sttn in no time at all !!

Hey everyone,

Yea Abbi I suppose I could do tuition I have done it before but I would need to do A LOT to earn anything worthwhile really. It's so hard. We want to buy a house but it's virtually impossible on one wage. I hate all these women who campaigned for mums to be able to go back to work cos all it's created is (the majority of) households reliant on two incomes and it forces people back to work when they don't want to!
Sorry for rant!

Got midwife this afternoon, I'm going to ask her to listen to heartbeat as she never once has even tried x

 

[Samie18]

Wow 34 weeks and she's never listened.....that's rubbish it's the best bits of midwife trips!

 

[betty14]

Amelia I agree toyally my mw listened at every app from 16 wks! Def ask her! Have you heard it at all? Is the most wonderful sound you will ever hear!!

Samie shouldn't it be part of the appointments? The notes have a place for fetal hr to be filled in....

X x x

 

[Samie18]

Not anymore unfortunately. The guidelines state there is no reason to do it as it proves nothing!!
But guidelines are guidelines and every Midwife i know would listen from 16 weeks

 

[annanouska]

I'd certainly ask too! I really agree that now there is too much pressure for women to go bk to work due to the finances.

Betty my sister is 7 yrs younger than me.

How is Sophia now samie? Have you been out playing with the new car!? Xxx

 

[Samie18]

She's good =o) scratches have nearly gone already!

Yeah we had a drive to Cheshire Oakes this afternoon . It's alright very much Still a ford though lol

How's you? Marcus still sleeping loads?

X

 

[AmeliaLily]

I didn't need to ask she did it anyway!! She said it was 140bpm She also said the baby is lateral so I need to lean forward to try to make it turn the right way so it doesn't go back to back. I bought a gym ball today and I'm sitting on it now, it's v comfy!

Samie I was in Cheshire oaks today!!

 

[betty14]

These guidelines seem so silly these days, surely the hb can tell you if something isn't right....?

Anna so she isn't a child then... I was expecting you to say she was 15 or something!!

Samie glad Sophias face is ok bless her

Amelia that's fab!!! They say faster hb is a girl.... Did it sound like a galloping horse?

Did you buy anything nice at Cheshire Oakes?

X x x x

 

[Samie18]

Lateral....that's not a bad thing at this stage....

Can't believe you were in Cheshire Oakes might have passed you lol we were there at 3-5pm. Was really quiet so shopping was easy for once!

 

[AmeliaLily]

I have heard the heartbeat once before at the hospital when the doctor did it as they had no idea what the appointment was for so they did the hb for something to do I think and it sounded like a galloping horse then, so fast! The doc guessed girl.
This time it was slower but still 140 and the mw guessed boy! So just have to wait and see!! Cannot wait to find out!

If I'd passed you Samie I would have recognised you as I always look at babies that I walk past now (and their prams lol). I was there from 3:30 after my appt and it was much quieter than usual. Ended up going to the colliseum part where I bought my gym ball from Argos and a mamas and papas dream pod which was half price

 

[Samie18]

Ohhh we were babyless this afternoon my mum was babysitting =o)

 

[Honeybear1976]

Amelia your pregnancy is going so fast, I think its a girl
Our earliest and smallest born (31+3 & 3lb 4oz) has gone off for his 1st full day in school

 

[Honeybear1976]

Sorry dont know why photo is led on its side!

 

[Samie18]

Awww he looks so grown up! They grow too quickly =o(

 

[Honeybear1976]

Yeh Samie they do and it doesnt half pull on my poor heart strings
On the positive side Ive done some reading and singing nursery rhymes with Ollie
Hes asleep now and the house is quiet Guess Id better do some housework booooo

 

[annanouska]

aww honey! i always find your preemie stories great as it goes to show how well they can overcome it all with the right care and tlc xxx

Samie and Amelia-have you been to the new super m and s? its HUGE! my parents are up tody until wed so no doubt I will end up going. Id like one of the mamas and papas little bumbo type seats. He is doing well with his head now. i sit him on my knee and make him support it as otherwise he wont ever bother-like tummy time he just grunts and goes to sleep!

his sleeping is sitll a bit hit and miss of nights but seems to be over the jabs now-hope daisy is ok on wednesday

ive just washed all the 3-6 things apart from a few from h and m which are 4-6 and really quite big so ive left them. he needs a ew things but i thought rahter than wasting money on 0-3 he will just have to grow into the 3-6. some of his 306 fit perfectly now anyway! he had on a cute t-shirt this morning but i decided it was too right said fred when i could see his nipples LOL so its now in the too small pile.

Marcus has started sucking his thumb he has always had a dummy no problems now he will take a tummy wait a minute then pull it out (its quite cute when he does it) and puts a thumb in! he will at times still have the dummy provided a thumb goes in too i keep putting the dummy back in when he sucks his thumb but i think its a game now to him so im ignoring it. i try to put the corners of his comforter into his hands to occupy him-no joy.

Betty Thumper (her nick name as she has attitude!) is 19-will be 20 in feb BUT honestly she is like a 15 yr old. its their fault though they baby her its ridiculous! we are so different-at her age i was away at uni, dating andrew, had my own car etc etc. she still sucks her thumb under her blanket at night watching tv!!!! i love her to bits and we do get on very well but it annoys me. when she is with us and no parents around she is fine very grown up and responsible etc and as soon as they appear it is like the demon teenager!
