I have just been shopping in Newcastle for maternity trousers suitable for work, only three shops actually stockef maternity wear the rest told me I had to go online, even next! topshop had one rail hardly no selection and what they did have well, unless you are a size 0 and don't exepct to even get a bunp don't bother ladies. Picked up a pair of black trousers and there was no room for a bump whatsoever!!! tried them on still and as waistband sits on your waist with no stretch how on earth are they maternity trousers???
h and m ok for casual wear, ended up in new look , they had best selcection I would say and they didn't make you look like a frump.
so to all you shops, I know you have taken maternity wear out as I read it only accounts for 1% of sales, but maybe if you actually designed and produced maternity wear that women actually wanted to wear and it was fit for purpose you may find a lot more women buying!!! rant over!

Hi all,
A
Jo, yeah for smily face. Your DTD will be perfect this month and your DH spermies have had a rest for 3 days so wil be raring to go today!

All 3 of mine have had all jabs offered including MMR, although so far youngest has only had one dose of MMR, but I expect we will hear soon about second dose.

Not really heard much about whooping cough vaccine, but I was in a similar position when expecting my youngest with the swine flu jab, I as worried sick about having it as it had only just started to be given and i was worried as it was in its early stages of being given. However a doctor said to me th e chances of having the jab and something going wrong were a lot less worrying than not having the jab and getting swine flu! I had the jab and was good luckily.


Had a busy couple of days , had DD first holy communion today, she looked beautiful in her dress! We had family back to house for a party. Luckily the rain stayed away so all the kids, 15 of them from 2 to 19, spent most the time in the garden, with older ones playing footie!

Feel tired tonight now, but we can now relax!

 

[Left wonderin]

Wow dance a busy day , thanks god the rain stayed away for you.bet you were exhausted after all that .... Only one week to the half way mark ))

Was a bit worn out! Tidying up today, but not actually too bad.

Yes, only 1 week til half way mark although today is probably my halfway mark as I am being induced at 38 weeks!

Just off to gym for a quick swim, I can only manage about 10 lengths at the moment! My DS will be in the Club V for the kids whilst I'm swimming, he loves going In there.

Have a lovely swim Lisa xxxx

I lost my baby on valentines day 2013 7wk. Within a week my hcg level was back to 0. I had a period 33 days later, normal cycle 28 so no too bad. This month my period came 29 days later so more or less on time and seemed back to normal. It started Thursday afternoon and by Sat evening I stopped bleeding, my normal Menstrual flow would last 5 days. I had strong symptoms this month and really thought I was pregnant, from 2 days after ovulation I've been sick had nausea and even leaked from my very painful breasts. I had similar symptoms 2 weeks leading up to my last period but I thought it was down to the miscarriage, I don't understand why it's happened again this month and now my periods gone the symptoms have stopped, It's so cruel and its tough because we've been ttc since the miscarriage. I feel there's something wrong and don't understand why my symptoms are so strong yet my period arrives. Will this go away soon? I'm 38 and had healthy pregnancies but my youngest is 11, been thinking maybe it's early menopause, or hormone problem? I don't know what to do and I'm desperate to be pregnant again. Is there any advice you can give me please?

welcome.
That is exactly how I was feeling. I'm 44 so a bit older than you, but my previous pregnancieshad all been easy to come by. My Mc last year sent things haywire and I had a shock when it didn;t just happen. I spent a year tying and just as I gave up and even applied for a job (I'm full time self employed but wanted a different challenge) and then my BFP arrived.
I never went to the doctor and talked through it and I wish I had done. There are tests they can do to determine if its menoupause and if i'd done that perhaps I wouldn;t have been quite so frantic.

Thank you for your reply. I have an appointment first thing in the morning with my GP, I will ask him about tests. Not sure if he'll do anything just yet as it happened in Feb he may make me wait. I hope he doesn't.

 

[moma7seata]

And congrats on your BFP.

But if he does make you wait, you will have a timescale and that will be something positive. Let us know how you get on.

Sorry you are going through this, hopefully the doctor will be able to answer some of your questions.
