I just got up to hang my washing up and put some bottles in the steriliser for when Brooklyn wakes in the morning, most people would just go back to sleep lol, Tanya I felt the same with Brooklyn I really did, there was a period where I felt completely normal for a week! Not at all pregnant and it worried the life out of me! With ds 5 I was constantly constantly ill with no let up and my boobs hurt for 3 months solid at first. With Brooklyn it was completely different and I even started a thread in here saying 7 weeks and just can't shake this bad feeling!!! But I was wrong thankfully hope that helps a little. I know how hard it is to stay positive. It's so worrying. But I am proof!! Thank you, that was my first full day sticking to a diet, I came in under my calorie allowance and feel now I can carry on and do this xxxx

What's the APP for the diet?

Forgot to say , we tried Caitlin with her first solids yesterday, a little bit of baby porridge. There wasn't a lot but she ate it all and looked like she wanted more! Will try her again later!

 

[josie1234]

Hi all, Lisa - the app is myfitnesspal. Becks - that is great that you are feeling positive and really motivated with it. Keep us updated.

So - It is so hard when you think about things and easier said than done but try to stay positive.

Fi - how are you today?

Regina - thinking of you hun and can't wait to see pics xxxxx

AFM - day got so much worse yesterday but will update you all later on. I have been awake since 2, just go up to take some paracetemol as I have got really bad headache. I will try to go back to sleep but no doubt I will be awake.

Hi Ladies

I'm back from the Brit Awards - was it good? - it was bloody amazing -

So I've tried to catch up with you chatty ladies

Sorry to say I'm just your average Joe we bought a ticket and went - we was looking to see where the band Basteille were playing next and they had sold out - but there was still tickets for Brit Awards (were they were playing) with10 minutes those tickets had gone as well - so we consider ourselves very lucky.

Jo - sorry you aren't feeling great - me neither must be lots of things going around - hats off for you still managing to work

Becks - What dis your LP used to be (or did you get pg first time temping) I can't remember

So - How are things today hun?

Regina - Can't wait for the pics of Sean

AFM - Did you know I went to the Brit Awards it was an amazing atmosphere and so sureal being in the same room as so many stars I mean Kylie, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Ellie Golding oh wow I was star struck for those of you who watched it on the TV (I did when I got back and relived every moment) when the camera zoomed out a little and you saw the stage but couldn't make out faces that was my view (but there were the big tv screens all around anyway).

During the day when we went to collect the tickets the 02 arena was packed (people hanging around just in case a star popped by) there were people sat with flasks and blankets (again I felt quite good to be walking upto security for my ticket) we collected our tickets after going through 6 lots of security and finally got a wristband put on - yeah we were going to the Brits

Hubby and I went for a bite to eat as time was ticking on and we needed to be back by 6 so we was walking out of the arena and I saw a big group of security with a man in the middle I said to hubby isn't that er......oh whats his face...... as we was walking by - when I finally remembered it was only Nile Rogers anyway not to worry.

We got to the hotel - eventually and checked in - London is a nightmare to drive around it takes forever. I sent hubby out for a bottle of wine thinking there had to be a corner shop near by - and I went to bed (still had a fever) Half an hour later he came back (no corner shop in sight) and I was starting to feel a little bit better the must have done me some good

We got ready and I must say I think we scrubbed up well - hubby took a pic of me on the red carpet so I will see if I can get it to show you

As we was going into the O2 we saw what looked like some men in helmets (takes all sorts I guess) hmmm not Dr Who fans - we had only just walked past DAFT PUNK

Also I felt really good about how I looked (not often I get a chance to dress up) and we passed this group of teenage lads (obviously star spotting) and one of them said to me "you look fabulous darling" cheeky little man!

The only down side about the Brits (and it is only a small thing - but when you get to my age) we were told we had 3 minutes to get to the loo and back - or security may hold you out of the arena for a while well if Harry out of One Direction can't get back in time - what chance have us ladies got - have you seen a queue for a ladies loo

We left the Brits on a high and was up dancing - we then got the ferry back to the hotel - I went into the bathroom changed into my sexy undies (from Valentine) and came out all ready to find hubby

Never mind there was always tomorrow - we weren't due to check out until 12.00 - I was starting to feel feverish again - so didn't sleep to well (besides I was on a high)

Morning came - we were both a bit groggy (him through drink) me just generally aches all over - but I was determined and hubby said oh my did you sleep in them last night and I missed it (result) until............ the fire alarm went off (sheesh we was in the Hilton what) so we had to get up get dressed and meet at the point - there had been someone smoking in their room - great! - so I have decided the sexy undies are going away for a very long time (they must be jinxed) although I still had the bottom half on (as I had to get dressed quickly) and guess what it worked he saw them at bedtime - I was shattered - he was wide awake - he won.

So for now I am at CD 13 and no clue whether or not I have Ovulated - one thing though my fever has broken but it has left me feeling would love to go back to bed but with two children to look after (on their holidays) that isn't going to happen

Have a great day ladies sorry my update wasn't more exciting

[josie1234]

Wow, Fi loved your post. Sounded amazing. Glad that the undies finally worked, talk about things getting in the way lol. Hope you are feeling refreshed and better soon.

I am ok, just very tired. The reason why yesterday was so bad was because a lady who has been coming to my bootcamp (and lost 32 lbs), the pregnant one, came to bootcamp last night with her boyfriend (who takes part), was doing one of the easier exercises that I plan for her and gush, a lot of water came out. Talk about panic. She was obviously upset and her bf drove her to hospital which luckily is few mins away. God, I was a state. Stopped bootcamp and rushed home (also near hospital) and changed and ran round the corner to the hospital. Waited in A&E reception and asked after her (as she is also a friend). They let me go and see her after waiting 50 mins and she was in a side room and to cut a very long story short, the water was the amniotic fluid and they checked her out and could see a foot coming out of her (cervix I think) and doing a scan the heartbeat was still there. She is 15 weeks so they said it was not good news and she was going through mc. God, it was so horrible to see her going through it. I left at 9.30 (been there an hour and a half) when they were taking her up to midwives. I was devastated for her (she is 32 and this is her 3rd mc). She had a scan last week as she had a few niggles and everything was fine. The doctor did say the exercising didn't cause it.

 

[garfie]

Josie - OMG - how awful for her - a foot - how scary - all mine have been earlier losses so I can't imagine how she must be feeling - but I'm so pleased she has a friend like you

No wonder you are tired hun - that kind of thing goes around and around in your head. I hope you manage to get today.

Yeah the Brits were amazing and so pleased we finally managed it - as just done another OPK and deff NEG - so I guess I will have to wait and see what temps do over the next few days

and a special one for your friend

[Soanxious]

OMG Jo!!! thats horrific!!! I burst into tears reading that!!!

I feel for you her and her partner xxxxx

 

[Soanxious]

Becks I am just the same, im trying not to think negative xx

Fi WOW What an amazing time at the Brits, I didn't know you could buy tickets for that I thought it was the rich famous and competition winners etc that went there and to get them within 10 mins you were so lucky.. sounds amazing and a funny post.! Be great to see the Photo on the red carpet

Regina Good luck today... hope you have a safe speedy labour x

 

[josie1234]

Sorry to upset you. Thanks for the hugs though. Yes it has been going around in my head. Brought back horrible memories. I really feel fir her and don't want to force myself on her. Hopefully she knows where I am if she needs anything. The female doctor was lovely. So kind.

I am looking forward to the pic Fi. Lovely to dress up.

How is everyone else today? Becks good that your LP is longer.

No temp taken this morning.

hi iam new to this but feel the need to talk to someone other than my hubby ! my story so far , iam 40 years old and in 2007 I lost a baby at 15 weeks no heart beat found was the crappiest time ever we then went on to try for 4 years and got nothing I gave up and thought was never ment to be 1 then low and behold I fell pregnant in jan this year ! was in utter shock but so so happy that did not last long as I lost it at 6 weeks ! but its has given us re-newed hope and we are uping are game in trying for another in march as I had to let one cycle go by before we could try again ! I ovulated 14 days after the first day of bleeding from m/c which was fantastic thought my body was going to be a mess but got straight back in to its normal cycle iam now due on in 2-3 days 1 cant wait to start again will ov any where from the 9-12 of march iam so ready cant wait for hubby to get home as he works away and is only home every 7-8 weeks hes worked his leave round me lol fingers crossed and hoping last time wasn't a flook ! xx

 

[Soanxious]

Hi Tilly, I am 41 and have 3 grown up kids, myself and my partner of 2.5 yrs want a child and I fell pregnant last October, but lost the baby at 6 weeks, then I fell pregnant again Jan and lost that one on 17th Jan I was 4 weeks, I got pregnant straight away as they told me I could try straight away as my last mc was so early, and I got a positive result last week, I have had some brown discharge on n off last few days so I don't know what is happening to this pregnancy, all I can say is, since I got pregnant last october I have got pregnant so much easier since so there is hope you will get pregnant, I am older than you so maybe that's why im struggling to keep them, but some women have healthy pregnancys after a mc. And wow he's taking time away from work around you ovulate? Have you tried OPK's? I use an APP on my phone called mydays I use that and it seems to be spot on as since using it I have got pregnant 3 times. Good luck

 

[tillyttc]

thank you so much for replying ! I started bleeding on the 27 of jan and I used the clear blue ov kit the smily face on on the 9th off feb and got my smily face which lasted two days so af should not be long off iam hoping ive researching about early loss as in between 4-8 weeks pg and have been told that chaste berry is great for fertility as it help your body produce more of the hormone which supports the pregnancy in those first few weeks its also helps ovulation become more regular!
my husband is doing his part from across the seas lol hes been on line and is taking his vitamins having 2 squares of plain choccy a days lol I looked that one up and yes its fantasic from your mans little swimmers .x

 

[tillyttc]

i have my fingers crossed that you have a sticky little bean in there and it stays that way all the baby dust in the land at you and more besides lol xxx

 

[tillyttc]

and have just down loaded that app to my phone thank you will come in handy . xx
