Shinning_star's Totally expected, unexpected surprise!

Well after TTC journals it's only right to move over to pregnancy journals. My method in conception was denial, lol or trying to deny indeed my ttc journal as called art of not NOT trying, lol and in Tishimouse's words, I now have a 'totally unexpected surprise'

I'm 27 my dp is 39. I have a DS he has a DD, to which we have bonded a family and added some (god willing). We met via a mate of mine being an old school mate of his. Fate kinda did the rest!

So I discovered my :bfp: on the 25 July 13 DPO on a cheapie internet test. I wasn't convinced due to internet cheapie and also due to my last cycle having as chemical pregnancy. I was terrified, I did tests every day and night apart from day 26 to see if they were darkening, the last cycle the lines didn't darken hence I suspected things weren't so good. I then read about HCG only doubling every 48 hrs so after day 26 didn't test until day 28 of 29 cycle I did a digi test.

This finally allowed myself to believe thinsg were good and all lines are healthily darkening. However I wasn't due until 29 July, well this came and went not AF and here I am now.

I've been feeling sick since 12 dpo hence did the test, but it has gradually got worse. Today I feel completly stuck up, I have indigestion in my chest which just feels like sick wedged in my ribs (sorry if tmi), I have pain in back which feels like i need a poo thats just not coming (again soz tmi). Plus I have start of water infection. I'm not sure how much is related to pregnancy but there's a summary! Oh well, no complaints, all in the name of this baby!

I have doctors tomorrow morning who I believe will send me for my bloods and that will be it, oh and get some folic acid on prescription. I can't imagine much more than that, until referred to midwife.

Keep ya informed!

Congratulations on yr :bfp: and getting to start yr very own pregnancy journal! I hope you have a very happy and healthy nine months!

:hug:

Yaya xx

Yay, you started your journal!!!:happydance:

Congratulations on your :bfp: it's lovely to see you in the pregnancy journals xx

:hug:

congratulations !:hugs:
wonderful so many girls in the first semester this month !

Glad you've finally started a preggo journal! When will you get your blood test back! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This may be a long one sorry peeps! A completly SURREAL day!

So I had my appointment at 10.40 today thought I'd be going in for bloods and bit of official paperwork re pregnancy but I also had to get some anti b's for cystitus!

I got to the doc's finally got called in an hour later than app and the doc kept me in there for half and hour! :dohh: Doing not much at all! I told him I'd had a :bfp: and he acknowledged but didn't say much and then I told him I also had a water infection he asked me how I knew, and told me to go and do another water sample having only just done one at home! Managed just enough and he tested it for water infection confirmed protein and nitrates (confirmation of cystitus, I've had it a few times when I was younger than nothing at all for years and now again had two in two months!)

Anyway so then he went on about anti biotics, cos I'm allergic to penicillin there's apparently four main types of andi b and two of them related to penicillin the third one you can't take during pregnancy and the fourth one which I had last month he said I may have a resilience too hence I've got another bout of cyt.

This is where is got really weird, he proceeded to check in his books abt the anti b and then got me to read abt it too, :huh: I was like yeah ok, lol it was all a bit of medical jargin but said mustn't be given to women at pregnancy term. I kinda got the impression, but lol at me reading some kind of medical dictionary. He then proceeded to take abt fifteen minutes typing up a prescription and a form to go with another water sample I had to do (in the next half hr to get it to the health centre by 1 (bearing in mind this is at 12.15) Then the text he had written on the form for the urine sample he got me to read and asked if it was ok, :-k:roll: lol I mean how wld I know, this was instructions to the laboratory. I mean it made sense to me, but whether thats the terms they use in the lab who knows? I just couldn't believe it, he was taking his time and I couldnt help but laugh, he was laughing too, lol he was like some mad old professor.
I mean don't get me wrong I think he knew what he was doing but I think he must have been killing time, never mind the poor people waiting outside for their appointment. So finally it all gets done and I say so whats next abt the..... he finished sayin book an appointment with anti natel on monday. OK and that was it. I mean he was just mad, the whole app we were both just laughing! :wacko:

I then had to rush home luckily docs is literally at end of my road time is now 12.20 and he wants my sample of wee by 1 at the health centre a 10 min bus ride away. I needed to go home to top up on liquids cos he said they needed to have a full bottle too. Well guess what the flaming lift broke down! :headspin::tease::loopy: I was getting really worried lol phoned my dp who said it's just not come up to the floor properly press another button and see what happens. By now I'm chuckling to myself so much :rofl::rofl: cos I just cannot believe the day! (theres more!) So I press the floor beneaths button it works, I think abt temping fate and trying to go back up to my floor but decided to get out and walk (obvs knowing the day's progress so far! (the two floors as the lift only does the odd numbers.)

So I get home fill myself up with water, dive back out the door to the health centre arrive at 12.55 I mean wow what a flippin palava, hand in my urine and the form I might as well of typed myself, after all my proof reading! :rofl:

And finally got to book my ante natel app, for monday afternoon. whereby all they do is fill out forms and send you a letter with you scan date, no blood tests until after twelve weeks and no midwife app until weeks 14 apparently!

So anyway, whilst I'm sitting in the docs clinic, who walks in but my dsd and her mum. I've never ever met her Mum before and although we both don't hav an opinion on one anotehr I just could not believe it :headspin: So luckily we got talking and we got on fine, bit of banter etc. But I mean flippin odds, I hav appoint within half an hr lol (which turned out to be an hour.) apart from my partner's ex wife! I just thank god we got on, and didn't hate one another! I was worried abt it all and how she'd be a new women in dsd life etc! But it would seem she's ok! phew!

Anyway a completly surreal day, there's no way someone could of foreseen that, and how typical, partner's ex wife sat right next tyo docs door, and I'm telling him i'm pregnant!!!!! Only hope she didn't hear anything!

So what a flippin day! OH and did my last digi test today just to be sure, (lol even though had no period etc but just wanted to see words again and what happens get the flippin book picture up saying been an error with test I mean flippin heck!

Oh an actual pregnant note, I've gone off of food, have small appetite no cramps or pain, terible trapped wind yesterday but all fine today. Brought some pregnancare seeing as doc didn't prescribe folic acid! or even recommend it! and some gaviscon in case get caught like yesterday again was in agony! Still very sleepy!

and if ya still reading congrats! LOL. I didn't expect anyone too, just had to get weird day out of system!

Well today my mum and sis dad and broil came round, sis and her hubby from northants and parents from Hampshire. It was lovely day, my sis is 13 weeks today. It's all very exciting apart from they've done it all proper like. Met each other were friends, dated for two years, got engaged for two years, married and now two years on their having their first baby and not planning another one for another two years.
Everything is so regimented with her and all 'prim and proper' and the sun has alwasy shined out of her bottom, in my mums eyes. I'm just the careless one!

Then there's me, I was a single mum to my ds, from birth up until now, and always felt looked down on by her + her hubby and smetimes my own dad in some ways.
My ds was an accident (doesn't mean he was loved any less, or less wanted! OR even less deserved! ) I have had a failed marriage after getting married at eighteen. I guess I do do things in the moment, I'm quite whimsickle if thats the word, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
I've lived alot in my life and no-one cld knock the amount of life experience I've had. Anyway as you know only been with dp for six months and living together for three months and we're pregnant were actively trying and there's nothing on a par (other than to be married shortly) I would want more. :cloud9::cloud9:
Anyway point being, I know my pregnancy will be frowned upon until we've prooved a point, that we're in this forever getting married, I'm not just being random and carelss etc etc, point being I'm sick of having to proove things to my family, :hissy: why can't they just be happy have a little faith rather than the all dooms oh she's done it again! I just feel such a failure in my whole families eyes and it taints my happiness which upsets me even more.:cry::cry:

Loved reading all that! Thanks :)

Do you think that dr may possibly have been on some kind of medication? Sounds very odd!!! At least you read the book so you know he was telling you the right thing! My dr didn't mention folic acid either and she seemed fine!

The first meeting I had with my mw was just to fill in the forms, she didn't take any blood til after my 12 week scan (haven't had the results yet, presuming they were ok).

Strange meeting your dsd's mother in there! Must be nice to put a face to the name though, especially after everything went well talking to her.

:hugs: sorry your family don't see things properly, hope you can open their eyes to who you really are soon and not have to put up with it any more.

:hug: x

AWww Elm hun, Thank You and honestly you really didn't need to read all my waffle hehe. Think most people wld of seen and run haha! Yeah, I love my family but I swear when they leave I feel worse than before they came. I guess a part of it could be missing them having moved away, but at same time, I dunno. I'm terrified of telling them tbh!

What was going on at the docs??
Sorry you think your family looks down on you - don't let it get to you!
xx

Sounds like you've had a hectic couple of days hon!! I was planning on using my last digi tomorrow, hope I don't get an error message too!!!!

I hope your family are happy for you darling, I'm sure they will be even if they're a little surprised at first xxx

Well UTI still not cleared up, Even have pain still, so reckon i'll be back down the docs tomor afternoon! great lol midwife and then docs. Knowing my luck I probably am resistant to these anti b's and lord know what they'll do then cos they can't leave a uti untreated as it can move to kidneys!

On a pregnancy note, I don't feel preggers at all, no sickness nausea now, no dizziness, no increased appetite. I do have tender nipples though and firmer boobs (already) and have been sleeping rather alot, LOL I'm not working at the mo so I've been having afternoon naps abs bliss. Wondering if a mixture of more sleep and pregnacare has actually helped shake off the nausea and sickness cos with ds I was sick for seven months, hospitalised twice cos of dehydration, then had terrible acid indigestion in nine month until he arrived, oh along with all signs of pre-elcampsia, I was on bed watch by my midwife, luckily went into labour just before they were condiering taking me in. LOL all the fun of the fair.

Oh and I've discovered well realised if the 7 April is my due date then my son's birthday is exactly two weeks to the day afterwards, so his birthday ticker is also a countdown! lol

Glad to hear you're not feeling sick hun. Hope the ms stays away this time round!

:hug: :hugs:

Yaya xx

Hey all,
So not really feeling very sick at the moment, been to docs today all been confirmed. Bit disapointed tbh, didn't see the midwife just a doc, who tested my wee, and filled out two forms thats it! I wouldn't of seen my midwife UNTIL 25 WEEKS apparently, but cos I had high blood pressure towards the end of my last pregnancy he wants to me to see midwife very 4 weeks. I coudn't believe it!

It seems they just leave you to get on with it now, even first time mothers, which I can see the good points but at the same time, sometimes you want that reassurance, later the heartbeat, etc etc.

I am starting to worry I'm perhaps a little further on or, having twins mind, seeing as my morning sickness nausea seems to have stopped and my boobs are huge my nipples are like standing well out to attention and really tender. Plus my belly seems to be really sticking out today. I mean I know it's prob water retention, but I so don't remember being like this with ds.

Thing is I had a faint positive back at begin of June but ended up having a three day very light period but it was red and fresh blood plus quite watery. I did a test after my period had finished whihc then came up completly :bfn: no questions, (this was my 1 July period) so surely I can't be pregnant from that date? just wondering cos my symptoms seem to fit more in with nine weeks, not five? HMMMM, who knows maybe it's all in my mind!

hey Shinin_Star, pregnancy buddy! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU TOO! :happydance:

Your jounal's very informative - now I know what to expect from my doctor. Even though it's not very reassuring that I'll have to wait so long to see my little one in a scan... oh well.

I also have very little symptoms, just lots of weirdness and occasional pain in my abdomen (mostly due to my dodgy bowels I think) and sore nipples, so don't worry.

:hug:

LOL I hope informative isn't boring, I can go on a bit lol.

Hi Shining Star! If it makes you feel any better, my doc just took a urine test and blood pressure and that was it! I do have to book in with the hospital too though so they might want me to come in, I'm not too sure.....

I didn't even get a blood test, he took a little bit of urine and did a test just like the cheapie ones on ebay! That was it.
Apparently as I said the app are shared between hospital and mw and you don't have any app until after scan normally, but as I said cos of my previous history I have to see her a bit more often. Then I think the blood tests are at abt 14 weeks.

25 WEEKS!!??? That's just silly! I'm glad you don't have to wait that long. You can probably get an early scan if you want one if you say you're not sure of your dates.

Is your UTI clearing up now? Hope it is. Did you see that same strange dr?

I saw my dr who just confirmed I was pg then didn't see my mw til ten weeks when she did my booking in appointment. I had my blood tests a couple of weeks ago and have my triple test (for Downs) on Wednesday.

xxx

UTI better but not cleared up, after four days of anti biotics, you'd think symptoms wld have dispeared, so bit of a concern, my results weren't back at surgery yesterday, so I have an app this afternoon at 4.50 don't know what the outcome will be?

Not same doc was a different one, but i guess thats what's so annoying cos when I saw the mad one he cld of done what this doc did as well esp seeing as we were in there for half a bloomin hour!

Can't wait for my scan now am soo keen to see whats going on, and how many there is? lol UT I've got AGES! Date not even through yet.

Good luck with yr appointment hun and I hope the UTI clears up soon!

:hug: :hugs:

Yaya xx

ouch! I hope your UTI clears up quickly, hun! :hugs:


do you really think you might have more than one in there? :happydance:

So do I this UTI is really sticking around it's been abt for two weeks now. Getting a bit concerned abt it travelling up to my kidneys.

As for more than one, I dunno it's kinda a weird concern, but I hear it from so many newly pregnant women thinking abt it, I think maybe i'm just being mad. Who knows not me until scan date.

So is your UTI still hanging about hon? Are they giving you more anti-biotics? xxx

Have they told you why they think it's not gone or anything? Have they uped your doseage? Hope it all clears up really soon.

xxx

25 weeks is madness !

FX from one pingu to another x

Hope you are okay hun -- you've been a bit quiet.

:hug: :hugs:

Yaya xx

Sorry ladies yeah had to stay away for a whole day, lol nearly set be back emotionally, lol.

We took thekids to chessington yesterday and I managed to get through the whole day without feeling too exhausted aside from bedtime, when I crashed and fell to sleep and nine thirty. LOL. (pretty much as soon as we got in).

UTI has apparently cleared up, hmmm not sure on that one seeing as I still have slight tingling when i'm going for a pee? My tests didn't get back yet, so they don't know what to give me, cos I'm allergice to two of the four groups and one you can't have during pregnancy and the other which I'm currently on he thinks I'm immune to. So waiting for the tests to get back they proberly be back by this morning. If I still have tingling during today I'll go back tomor, and say no it's really not cleared up!

I'm feeling fine, slowly getting more confident things will be ok, but just when you get confident you stop and think, hmm I'm only five and bit weeks, so far to go even until the first scan.

I'm thinking that's how we'll tell the children; my son and partner's daughter, maybe take them to scan with us, but just go in on my own initially to be sure all is well and then if all ok, calling kids in to see baby. DSD will be seven by then so she'll understand by just explaining it, but my ds will only be four and a half so he prob won't gather the concept without visulisation.

Anyway love and hugs to all plenty of :baby: :dust: and sticky glu to all whom pass!

Just wondering if the local mat unit will allow us to do it that way. Perhaps I'll ring first to be sure, LOL hark at me gotta get there yet and even receive the date through!

lemon barley water or fruit and barley is good for uti's as it makes the urine more alkaline.

xx

Hey hon,

Just checking with the new adventure!!

Glad to hear the infection's clearing up.

Hope all is going well.

Big :hug:

Glad you are okay and feeling better hun.

:hug: :hugs:

Yaya xx

Hello, hope your uti has defo cleared up! can't believe the doc expects you to wait until 25weeks! When i was pg i was surprised that the docs just hand you over to the mw and you don't see her until 10weeks.
Hope you are feeling ok. xx

Well one extreme to another, after seeing the doctor he referred me to the midwife eveyr four weeks, cos of previous pregnancy and high blood pressure and took some details he said he was faxing across to get my scan dates which he said would come through the post. So I am due to see the midwife at docs surgery on 1 sept.

Well I got a phonecall from another midwife yesterday morning making another appointment for me at a different place it's a children's centre, on 15 september, where she said I'll meet my mw and she'll arrange a scan. So really not at all sure what's going on there????

Hope you get it all sorted out hon xxx

hello - thought I would pop into your preggie journal and wish you a healthy 8 months hun.... thanks for all the kind messages :hugs:

Hope u feel better soon!!!

Maybe you'll end up with two scan dates!!! Glad your UTI looks like it's gone, hope the nasty little thing stays away now!

That sounds lovely showing your children LO on the scan - hope the hospital agree.

:hug: x

Yeah me too, we both thought it would be a good way to break it too them. Obvs I'd have to go in first alone, whihc wld be the scary bit incase something was wrong, but all being well hopefully we can call them in after we know for sure.

So I think I'm having my first craving cheese and onion walkers crisp. I'm not a crisp eater tbh, rarely eat them but I had some after swimming and they really hit the spot and now have brought a few packets and stuck them in the cupboard, distinct need for them now and again!

Well my belly has gone down a bit so not so worried about twins, LOL maybe was an intial panic, when it has kinda been said in our family for so long they'll be twin girls. (don't ask why, long story).

I've been looking on ebay for silvercross coach prams have decided I really want one for this bump, I have looked at other conventional prams, but just don't like them, am completly in love with the coach pram and seeing as we walk or bus most places (don't drive) it'll be no smaller than the huge three weheelers or graco prams you get so reckon it'll be just fine, plus can get the seat for the tope of it when we have our next one and this ones a toddler, hehe getting ahead of myself. Anyway there's a few lovely ones on ebay, but I can't buy one yet, no where to put it and far to early so here's hoping they'll be some gorgous ones on there in a few months!

We've decided on our girls name too, it was dp's idea, lol I had an old name book and we just went through it fell in love with the girls name (not divulging you'll all want it, hehe) :smug: but cannot for life of me find a boys name so am thinking it'll be a girl. I think when a particular name is easy to find or just stands out and the other sex is so hard to find, it's a sub concious thing, it's happened to all my friends and even with my son, I always knew what his name would be!:cloud9:

How am I feeling well I'm feeling sick sick sick :sick: and tired tired tired, :sleep: still but other than that all is gd, don't think mum and sis know yet, or if they do they haven't mentioned anything which cld be as likely!

Hope you're feeling better hon, I'm having the nausea and tiredness but not as bad as some I think! Hope you decide on boys names eventually, just in case!

hello :)

Just looking up silvercross coach prams on ebay...

I quite like this one -

http://i5.ebayimg.com/01/i/001/03/a5/58e4_1.JPG

thought they probably looked like that but had to make sure!

I'm still set on not having a pram at all... am hoping that I don't have to change my mind once Chicken arrives....

Pingu is quite a nice boys name x

Heya Shinning_Star!!!

Thanks for all your lovely and cheery posts in my journal! Just had to pop over and have a look at your preggo journal!

I totally agree with you on the name thing! We had a girls name for ages but never agreed on a boys name, and I didn't really care as I knew I was going to have a girl (although we chose not to find out) despite everyone else putting their money on a boy!

That pram is well smart! Is that what everyone is going for in the UK these days? It looks quite old fashioned/stylish!! Very cool! Does it convert at all, like for when bubba will be sitting up? I had absolutely no idea when I got my first buggy. I got a nice one, and I took my MIL's advice to get backwards facing so you can see Bubs all the time, but I got one that didn't steer! :dohh: I pushed it up and down the shop and it felt fine, but it never occured to me to try it round a corner!!!

Anyway, must stop blabbering and go to bed! Really looking forward to sharing your preggers journey with you - you sound like a really lovely lively lass! xxxx

:hug:

Oooh, I absolutely adore those silvercross prams! Unfortuantely we don't get them here though.

Sorry to hear yr feeling poo hun -- but as I said in Lu's jounral -- it's all soooo worth it in the end!!

:hug:

This one I have fallen in love with and is a steal at 150.00 so we'll see how it fares, if it stays low the bids usually get up to anything between 250.00 - 550.00. Brand new they retail at 1200.00.

They are the original old fashioned british pram or as they used to be known as the rolls royce of prambulators!

The backrest does sit up yes, and there are also ring to attach reins to so they can't fall/climb out. There so spacious can usually keep a baby happy for at least the firts year possible eighteen months. You can also get a little chair to sit on top like I said when your first can't quite make a walk, as for steering well there's no swivel wheels but the suspension is so springy is easily manouvred! LOL anyway enough abt my dream prams, LOL! I don't think they're all the rage just yet as they are 1960's style but they do seem to be making a bit of a comeback! Very regal! haha.

Anyway still feeling :sick: and :sleep: Told my sister, she was ok not brilliant abt it all but ok, now psyching up to tell my mum, besides I might need her to go pick up the pram if we bid on it.

I think we hav an idea on a boys name too, we'll just see how we go, OHOHOH, dp has actually said he might want a private scan at eight weeks, lol I originally tld him we cld do one private and he basically said get on your bike LOL But he brought it back up again and has even been surfing the net! I'll keeo you informed!

Yay!! Early scan - sooooo exciting! Hope you win him round then! Those prams remind me of Mary Poppins!! So are they remaking in the old style or are these "antiques" we are talking about (at those prices might as well be!)

Good luck telling your mum chick. I'm sure she'll be thrilled for you!:hugs:

That pram is lots nicer than the one I posted. Like that mine was a bit battered like it's put in years of service - Mary Poppins probably would have used it :)

That sounds exciting about the early scan xxx

:hug:

I hope it goes well when you tell your mum hon! How come your sister wasn't as excited as you would have liked?

The pram looks amazing, real Mary Poppins type thing! Hope you managed to get it:hugs:

I just noticed, your DP looks a little bit like a younger Tommy Lee Jones when he smiles (or is that just me?!) Definitely a good thing!!:happydance:

wow! very pleased you get an early scan and you found the pram you like!!
:happydance: the pram is really amazing!

I absolutely LOVE the pram!! Sooo jealous!!

:hug: :hugs:

Yaya xx

well another big one I'm afraid!

Lu I've never actually thought of him like that my dp that is but i can kinda see it now you mentioned it hehe!

So two days ago started getting pains like period cramps, was getting worried, well by last night well this morning at abt 3 am I was being woke up by the pain and all on my right side. It was on a scale of 1-10 abt 7! Needless to say I was quite worried, so staye din bed until nine o'clock phoned gp and went straight down! Gp, sent me straight to early preg unit (epu).

So off we trogged, dp and ds in tow luckily dsd was with her mum for week so we didn't have to worry about her twigging. I took a bag of food and a bag of toys not knowing hoe long we'd be there for.

Eventually after two hours, we got into see sonographer and she had to give me an internal scan so dp couldn't see anything as he had to stay outside with ds! Bless him he was a bit gutted.

Anyway, baby is fine, really tiny :cloud9:and hard to see but measuring to dates and has a strong heart beat! YAY! :happydance::wohoo:

The pain is caused by a cyst on my corpus luteum and should either disappear when the placenta takes over and corpus luteum has done it's job at abt ten-twelve weeks or burst one or the other, it's not harmful and shld cause no problems or bleeding at all. Unfortunately just the pain that goes with it, cos it's putting pressure on my ovary.

So ladies that was my day a worrying start and a lovely finish apart from fact more dp who was willing to pay for a private scan didn't get to see the baby!

Love and Hugs xxxxxxx

OH P.S. My pram didn't sell, but also sellers didn't reply to my queries, so not sure whether to email them for private sale or not? If they didn't reply to my queries, and the pram didn't sell i don't know why?

glad to hear your feeling ok, and know its nothing worrying! when was your 1st day lmp? are you 6 weeks from then or ...

prams: god youd be jealous. i work in a baby room and we have 2 - navy ones! all got refurbed last year. verrry big and bulky, but lovely bouncy, spacious :P

LOL how much, I'd consider travelling haha!

My lmp was 1 July and am six weeks from that day which is the gestational period, but baby is only four weeks, but always go from date of lmp!

Why have you had some news?

No but my LMP was 29th june! want an answer one way or another now. That would make me 6 +2 now :O dont understand but can only wait. Urine sample back tomorrow x know it'll be negative as my CBlue ones were!

Heya Shinning! Glad to hear your day ended out so well after a potentially stressful start! Don't you get photos off the scan in the UK to show dp? (I have no idea what the system is like back home!)

I would deffo email them about a private sale. It won't do any harm will it, and you might get a better deal as they won't be paying seller fees to Ebay! May be they didn't respond because they didn't get the email? I have had that problem with Ebay, with the emails going into my spambox. Worth a try anyway!


:hug:

Glad your day turned out so well in the end, you must have been worried sick. That's brilliant that you got a scan and there's a strong heartbeat and everything!!!:happydance:

I still think you should go for the private scan though!

oh wow! so you got a scan!!
I'm so sorry you went through so much pain. Did they give you something for it and say how long the pain will last? I hope not until 10-12 weeks!!! :hugs:

That sounds horrific! So glad everything was ok in the end (apart from you having to suffer pain til it goes). Did they give you anything for the pain or is it just paracetamols? Hope it's not constant :hugs: xxx

Sorry your DP (is that dear partner?) didn't get to see your LO. He's not got that long to wait til your 12 week scan though and at least you both know that your LO is alright in there.

I'd spam them about the pram so they sell it to you cheap just to shut you up!!!!

:hug:

Glad you are ok and i hope you're not in too much pain. How unfortunate that DP didn't see LO but it will probably make him want to have a private one even more now! xx

Sorry to hear that yr in pain hun -- but it's fab that everything is okay with the beanie! Yay! Heartbeat already -- it's such a miracle isn't it!

:hugs:

Yaya xx

THanks girlies for all your nice words. Nothing other than paracetamol for the pain. Luckily it' not constantly bad bad, it's been better today that yesterday, but I had a good nghts sleep, apparently night before I had been really really restless, before I woke at three am ish, so I think the pain must have been bugging me even in my sleep!

I've been taking paracetamol so the pain is duller than yesterday, no they didn't give me pictures, didn't even offer them, I saw some on the desk which I assume were mine, but after being so relieved at lo being ok and a bit uncomfortable after internal scan I didn't think to ask!

Dp yes darling partner is a bit gutted and I keep sayin we saw the scan and he's like no we didn't and I feel really guilty, he's not making me feel bad, he knows it couldn't be helped but I know hw much he was considering getting a private one, and maybe now doesn't think it's justifiable, cos we know baby has heat beat etc.

The pram has been relisted and we've talked about it and we really not sure about getting it so early, storage would be a problem seeing as we haven't sorted out cupboards etc yet, so i think we'l reluctantly let it go, if it goes ulnsod this time, whihc I don't think it will, then we'll approach them again, but we'll wait and see. I'm sure more will come up closer to the time!

I think I have decided to use re-usable nappies too, been reading about them all and thinking may well o that way, dosn't look as bad as I suspected and you get liners which you can fush down toilet which holds all the poo, so no poo to sift off the nappies, unless small leak!

OH and on a really exciting note, my darling partner brought my engagement ring today ! :happydance: :wohoo: hehehe, it's been ordered, I chose it. But he's gonna pickit up and propose properly sometime after it arrives, so not offical yet, lol BUT shouldn't belong and then loks like a postential long engagement (due to finances and deciding to have a baby first.) but ultimately wedding in austria, poss dec 2010 or 2011. We shall see!

Right well, just a quickie, and I shall catch up with all you ttc's, preggers and pingu bumps prob Fri. Bit short for time and really should spend some time with dp seeing as he brought my ring today. :rofl:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

This really is your month!!

Glad its all officially official now, so happy for you xxx

Ooh this is a happy journal to be in! :)

How exciting!! Hope he proposes soon and it's all romantic so you can tell us about it and show your ring off :hugs: x

I'm going to go with DP from now on, it's loads nicer than OH which is horrrrrrrible.

I've seen some lovely reusable nappy outer bits advertised. We're going to go with them too as long as we have somewhere to dry them.

:hug: xxx

God you ladies are brave! THere is no way on earth I would not use disposable nappies! :rofl:

oh wow!! Congratulations. How exciting that he will propose! and so lovely the idea of having a wedding in Austria. :happydance:

I'm glad things are fine with the little one.
Perhaps you should still get the early scan done, so your partner can see the little one too! you could call it an engagement present. :winkwink:

Hi,

Just been catching up on your journal. I bet that was really worrying with the pain you've had. But great news that they gave you a scan and you know there is a little heartbeat in there. If you can persuade DP or should i say almost DF(congrats that's brill news!!) to have a private scan you will get pics. Take a look at babybond.com this is where i am going on the 31st. The closest one is in Chelmsford(Great Baddow) and costs £95.
All is going well with me, really tired and skin has broken out everywhere. Still odd moment of nausea but not too bad.
xx

hi there - lots and lots of congrats!! Glad lo is well and mom too!! :hug:

well not happy today! Bloody UTI back again and only a week ago I came off last anti b's app is at 11.30 so I'll be going in a minute. My pain on the right side has eased quite a bit, but am constantly feeling sick and hungry and am determined not to eat too much as I don't wanna put on as much weight on as last time, but it's easier said than done when you feel sick all the time!

I'll prob pop on later this eve, but for now thats it as I head down the doctors AGAIN!

Love and Hugs to all

Congrats on the engagement hon!!:happydance:

Can't believe your UTI is back again though. Mine is still hanging around but it's not too bad at all, just seems to constantly be niggling at me..... If you're hungry hon don't deny yourself food. i can understand you not wanting to get too big but still, you're hungry for a reason! Maybe just munch on healthy stuff???

:hug:

what ? infection AGAIN!?
you poor thing!! I hope the doctor can give you something that works better this time round. :hugs:

Poor you! :hugs:

You must eat if you're hungry though - your bod is telling you it needs food! Healthy snacks are the way forward! :hugs:

Hi Shining :hi: just read through your journal, even the really, really long posts!;) Hope your UTI clears up a bit quicker this time around and I look forward to stalking you through your pregnancy! :hugs:

:hug:

:hugs: xxx

Hope you got on ok at the doctors. Have they just had to give you more of the same anti biotics? Remember you saying that you couldn't have any others?

Let us know how it all went.

:hug:

sorry you are still not well - UTIs are a real pain..... I have them quite alot too... I dont know how you do it without antiinflammatories... I suppose you are not allowed to take them when preggies..... good luck hun and hope you feel better soon!:hug:

Hi hon,

Big CONGRATS on the engagement...truly is a wonderful month for you!!!

Sorry that the UTI is back. I'm still suffering to an extent, anti-b's were ok'ish but made me feel sick (think that was the penicillin), they were cefalexin (good for TTC & PG ladies). Hope they sort it out for you once and for all.

Probably preaching to the converted, but are you doing the cranberry thing? And the barley squash? They both really help me. Ooo and avoiding Tea, coffee, real ale and citrus juice? (:rofl::rofl: I know the first 3 are probably off the menu anyway!!!)

Hope you have a fabulous proposal day when the ring arrives!!!

:hug:

:wave: How are u today shinningstar?

:hugs:

How are you doing hon??:hugs:

:hugs: x

how's everything going?

Hiya, can't believe your uti is back again - you poor thing! Did you go docs and get anything sorted? Hope you are ok!

Congrats on the ring/engagement! xx

How are you today? Hope the UTI isn't being too much of a pain! :hugs:

Hope you are okay hun -- you've been a bit quiet. :hugs:

Yaya xx

hope u r ok... get better soon!!:hug:

:hi: Everything ok with u hun? xxxxx

we miss you Shining Star!! where are you? hope all is well!

:hug:

Hope you're feeling a little better at the moment hon :hug:

Just checking in hun :hugs: hope you are ok!!

:hug:

hi there - thanks for popping in my journal.. hope u r feeling better hun and that sprog is well...:hug:

Hey Gals,

I'm ok, but UTI really knocked me for six I spent three days sleeping! I just kinda felt better by tues and then today had a sucky interview, which left me feeling even more pants then I felt already! :growlmad:

There were 12 people for first stage first one was numeracy and english but had to find patterns in it as well. Was bloody horrible then we had to read a famous speech by someone famous out of a book. I admit did not do well on this one, lady said was to see how confident we were and if we'd approach customers on the floor! :huh: I honestly can't see how they can tell we'll react to customers by reading a speech infront of everybody but never mind! then had to make puzzles and then had to draw what perfection was all illustrated!
Anyway left me feeling abs poo and bitter :hissy: cos I was the only girl not o get through, all other girls were 18-21 so I think that might have been something to do with it, mad it should affect me cos not like I was even bothered about the job! But I guess it's rejection and feels a bit like a failure, anyway put me in a pants mood!

So as far as I know little cashew is doing fine, :cloud9::cloud9: nausea does seem to be controllavble at this point which I'm really impressed by, :happydance:nothing I cld of done worked with ds! My boobs ache loads and my tummy has gone down loads from the bloating, so I guess next biggish belly will be actual bump!

Dp has collected the ring lol I took the phone call to say it had arrived, good job wasn't a surprise. lol. I have no idea where it is, but he says we're going out tomor eve on a date lol! So maybe that'll be my lucky day. haha! :wohoo:

Ds is with his Grandma, Dsd is with her Mum so we're all alone and I'm so tired and achey we can't even have much random :sex:. LOL

Oh Nicnac, apparently my urine was alkaline!!!!!!! NOT acid which is VERY weird, :shrug: and was not sure whether to belive doc or not at the time, so he advised lots of citrus juice to neutralise the alkaline, it seemed to ease the pain a bit. Yes I drink cranberry and started drinking with barley drinks in hope it does not come back!

I'm allergic to pennicillin so I can only have one which begins with N and the doc was sending my wee off to be analysed to see if there was anything else I could take, I read that if you have more than three infections in six months to a year it's classed as recurrrent, so lord knows three times in eight weeks is? OBSESSIVE, lol anyway apparently treatment can be a longer period of low dosage anti b's. But now I'm preg I'm not sure I wanna be putting anti b's into my system long term!

Well sorry for delay ladies, I've been missing you all, Lots love and Hugs! :hugs:

glad to hear all is well with you fellow pingu bump :P

Glad all is well hon, that uti really seems to have taken it out of you?:hugs:

That interview sounds atrocious, who was it with???

wow I do hope you get your energy back soon, hun :hugs:

OMG an obssessive uti!! :rofl::rofl: They are horrible though - touch wood I haven't had one in a while but I always seem to get hit about 3 times in a row too!

That interview sounds really nasty - you wouldn't want to work for them anyway I bet! That kind of company drives me mad. When we interview, we ask the candidates questions about the job- we don't give them stupid random puzzles and we don't try to psychoanalyse them! If they are blokes my dh tends to ask them what football team they support which I admit is perhaps not the best question, but it's not hard to answer! Who was it with? xxx

Sorry to hear your UTI is sapping all your energy hun :hugs: That interview sounds really weird! :shock: I've been to team interviews before but never been asked to read a random speech by someone else to guage your customer service qualities thats definetly a new one.

Hope your obsessive UTI gives you a break soon hun especially if its your big night tomorrow!! :happydance:

:hug:

Hey SS-

Sorry the UTI has been getting you down. I know how you feel about needing all that sleep. I have to go to bed at 9 these days.
That interview sounded really sucky. I mean "drawing perfection" WTF has that got to do with anything. I'm sure you'll find an even better job. I've always found that when i didn't get the first jobs i went to something much better always came up and i got that. So I am sure you just haven't found the perfect job yet.
Exciting news about your ring. Fingers crossed you get that soon.
Take Care Hun
xx

aww ladies i love you all sooooo much! your just faberooni!
interview was optical express! pants hey, but your right cos I've just been offered ass manager for viosion express in a brand new store, only prob being is er I'd need to leave by feb! lol

OH and the P (lol not so darling!) didn't ask me!!! We had our wonderful evening and it was sooo romantic and he didn't ask!!!!!!!!!!!! He better have something GREAT up his sleeves!

hey there - glad u r feeling better. take care hun!:hug:

congrats on your job!

That's great about Vision Express, congratulations!!!! When do you think you'll tell them you're pg?

I wouldn't worry about the proposal, seeing as you know about the whole thing, he might be trying to let some time go by so you're not actually expecting it when he does it - you know what guys are like they want it to be a bit of a surprise! Like my friend who came to stay the other week with her DF, they'd already picked the ring and he told her he had to send it away to be resized and it'd be back in a couple of weeks. Instead he got it resized in a few hours and snuck it over to Dublin with him so he could propose properly here! It would have been a lovely surprise if she hadn't found it when she was looking for her contact lenses:dohh:

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

OH my beloved dp! So he took me out for lovely meal etc, and guess what I get the proposal this morning in bed after his twleve hour shift! Turns out apparently he had planned to do it all over dinner etc and guess what the berk forgot the ring! lmao! What a berk, LOL BUT He's so lovely! HA HA

So anyway all official now he asked me this morning in bed when I'd literally only just opened my eyes, and was just abt coherent. LOL maybe he feared my answer! HAHA. So anyway all done now. Not sure how I am gonna get a picture on here lol cos it's not on the erenst jones website anymore! Was gonna just post a link! OH well, I'll work on it girlies!

Anyway It's kinda getting to be public knowledge now about baby told mum and she was fine said she knew all along! My dad hasn't really said anything but my nan is pleased which is nice. I won't be here all next week cos we're going down to them on monday be back late sunday. So I'll prob post on here tonight possible tomor then nothing until 1 September my first midwife appoint and my second interview for vision express (but I think I kinda got it in the bag tbh! They seem to be very accomodating if there not planning to give me a job and I gues I'll have to tell them in the Oct when the store opens cos I'll be twelve weeks then and have a feeling i'll be showing seeing as I kinda have a distinct bump shape already! Although alot of it fat it's kinda re-arranged itself, I look abt 12 weeks pregnant already!

Anyway love to you all girlies!

Awww what a sweetheart your DF is!!! :hugs: Can't wait to see your fabulous ring!! :happydance:

Hope you are having a great weekend and enjoy your week visiting the relatives!!

Sounds promising about the VE job. My BIL works at VE in Basildon and they treat him really well. So I'm sure if you land the job they will be understanding about your maternity leave.

Have you got your scan date? Can't remember x Have you sorted out if your children can go with you?

xxx

ooohhh congrats on engagement!! Fantastic news!!:hug:

How's bean?! xxx

How's things hon??:hug:

Hey hun, how are you doing? Can't wait to see your ring!! :hugs:

:hug:

Well I'm back. I had a lovely week away with my Mum my sister visited too which was lovely to spend time with all of them, My sister is now 17 weeks pregnant, and just showing, which kinda make things a bit awkward cos I'm just over nine and have a bit of a bump! I think it's just all my fat has reaaranged itself into a baby bump shape, but there's defo a shape there!

We went to the Isle of Weight for a day unfortunately it was cloudy and a bit chilly so we didn't get to swim in the sea but we visited the tiger sanctuary instead. We visited the pram shop my sister is getting her pram from she showed me it's the emmaljunga 3 in 1 very nice, BUT i still have my heart set on a silver cross coach build, and the lady even offered us a discount on the one in the window, but we can't afford it right now!
We did however manage on the last day to swim in the sea which dsd loved, she was a bit cautious at first but soon learnt to enjoy the waves of the sea.
Al in all was a lovely week and what's more I didn't really feel too sick, however since I have come back this week I have felt thte sickest ever and have had headaches to match, I think I might have to visit the gp about them.

My appointments have all been a bit of a mess. My docs app was a waste of time and my first mw app also a waste of time. They said they could do nothing cos I hadn't been registered. So all they did was take my blood pressure which was 130/80. I'm sure it's always 120/70 so I don't know if that up or down for me. I did have a scary headche where I lost vision out of my right eye and it went all flashy was horrible! I told the midwife and she didn't even blink an eyelid just said to go to the nurse. RAR!
On a brighter note my uti hasn't come back yet! Fingers crossed!

Anyway so I get a registration appointment on 15 sept and they will tell me when my scan is then,only thing is, reckon I'll only be getting a weeks notice at most cos on 15 sept I'll be 11 and few days and the midwife said she'll have the date with her. So I dunno :shrug: :dunno: go figure!
I havent sused out how to take a picture of my ring yet, lol can't get a pic that does it justice tbh, t's lovely!

AnywayI think I've blabbed on enuf for now, love and hugs for all
xxx:hug:

glad u r well hun!!:hugs:

Are you sure you want to register with that practice? It sounds like there should be some sort of dire sitcom set there!!!

Glad you had a lovely holiday. Sorry you've felt so bad since getting back though. Hope someone at your drs shows that they're worthy of their salary soon and gets back to you with some useful information and your clear UTI results x

Get busy with that camera! Can't wait to see your beautiful ring

:hug: xxx

Morning hun, those headaches sound a bit worrying, hope someone looks into that for you! :hugs:
Sounds like you had a lovely week visiting your relatives and how great that you are pregnant with your sister....although if your relationship is anything like mine and my sisters then it may not be such a great thing!! :rofl:

Hope the sickness gives you a break soon, it gets so tiring doesn't it? Feeling this way just sucks all your energy and not knowing what you want to eat doesn't help! :dohh: Anyway, hope you have a good day today. :hugs:

:hug:

Yeah I'm thinking about taking a trip down to my surgery but the past events put me off! They just seem to complicate the simplest of things and it really doesn't help when I unfortunately can't understand what the gp is saying to me half the time, honestly his accent comes across so thick sometimes.

I haven't had anymore headaches as yet, I got the start of one last night, but took two paracetamol and it seemed to dull it substantially, however I still feel bit sicky today, even though my brekkie of bacon baked bean and scrambled eggs eased me for a wee while, guess it must be time for food again soon, I just have no idea what to eat.

Dsd went to school today had a few tears before she walked outthe door butam sure she'll be fine once she gets there. My ds is due to start on the 24 September so I will have to go get his school uniform next week. Left it until last minute one to avoid rushes and two just incase he sprouts up over night, which he does seem to have done!

I had an awful dream last night, I dreamt I was bleeding and had to go to the hospital, needless to say I woke up a bit paranoid. Just wishing to hear a heartbeat now, anyone have a doppler they can lend me, LOL. I just don't wanna wait and I know at six weeks when I had my urgent scan there was a heartbeat, but I have a awful feeling wiht these headaches and extreme sickness somethings gone wrong. I guess there's no satisfying us is there!

Doh!

I would say the headaches and extreme sickness are a good sign but it is hard not to worry about every single detail, especially after a dream like that! :shock: :hugs:
Your brekkie sounds ace though, I am dying for a full english but have to wait until the weekend and will have to have it without the runny egg, but still.....beans, sausage, bacon, bread and butter and black pudding.....oh and maybe some waffles too!! :happydance: I am going to be huge by the end of this pregnancy!! :rofl:

:hug:

p.s. its not starburst its Opal Fruits!!! :hissy:see wishings journal:rofl:

hope u feel better soon hun. Your baby will be fine, it was just a dream and a deep hidden fear but dont think about it. Be positive my friend!:hugs:

Heya Shinningstar! :hugs:

So you have to get an appointment to register with this surgery? !:shock: That is so crap!!!

Your headaches sound exactly like the migraines I used to get when I was a teenager. My vision would just crumble - like when they fuzzy-out someone's face on tv to hide their identity and I would feel faint and get a massive headache. I never found out what caused them, but I did get prescribed glasses a bit later and never had one since.... I know that pregnancy can affect your eye-sight, so may be it's worth going to the optician's just in case? :hugs::hugs:

Ditto what Tanya said about dreams. I like to read lots of stuff into dreams if they are nice/interesting ones, but if they are scary it's best just to forget about them I reckon!!

:hugs: to you and your lovely bump! (How nice to be pg at the same time as your sis!)xxx

:hugs: xxx

Can you get a mw appointment? Don't remember you mentioning one so sorry if you have. Hope you find someone helpful soon.

Are things getting really quiet at home now with school starting?

:hug: xxx

Hi hun, hope the headaches have eased up a bit! xx

Headaches better! No not vision Magic I already wear glasss and get it checked regularly. I've had migraines before but my visions never gone before it was all black and white and zig zaggy very very weird! But they have eased a little. Sickness however not!

Going to Regents Street festival with sil (2B) So not sure what it will all entail I just hope that I'm not too nauseated!

My first mw app was on the 1 sept this is the app I was referring too Elm, the next mw app is not until 15 Sept, whereby i get booked in (i'm already registered with the surgery but have to go elsewhere to book into the mw centre or whatever it is they call it!) It's just all such a fass (sp?) I've been back and fourth to different surgeries and noones actually done anything really! Waste of time and money if ask me! Never Mind!

I'm actually completly shattered this evening, cannot wait to go to bed, role on ds bedtime! I haven't had a nap and am suffering for it, also bloody tele talking abt chocolate cake and although it prob mke me feel worse, I cld just gulp a bit of nice choccie cake!

I have discovered however that gaviscon does ease it a little bit and believe it or not cheese as well seems to settle tummy down for a bit. BUT I'm worried too much will give me more migraines it's blooin viscious circle!

Oh well think of baby think of baby!

Love and Hugs

:loopy::loopy::loopy::wohoo::wohoo::wohoo::smug::yipee::happydance::happydance:

I got through the day with out feeling sick wow wow wow! Well Ok I did feel a bit sick walking past some weird food tent and after a cheeseburger BUT other than that a :sick: free zone! LMAO

Today been really nice, went to the Bike Jam in tower hill, which was great. Then went on to regent street festival, admitedly not much there to do tbh the bike jam was better but it was variety and we got to look in Hamleys yippee! Which I think I loved as much as ds. Oh and walked through baby section of john lewis too, which was nice to just look at and get a few ideas and coo a little bit! LOL

Anyway here's hoping this is the beginning of the end to this sickness malarky!

Love & Hugs

:happydance: :happydance: :happydance:

Yay for you!!! Hope you have many, many more non sick days :hugs:

Read your previous post again - my head's all over the place, why can't babies eat fat as they grow instead of brain cells???!

Think you need to meet whoever employs staff at your drs and see what they're up to!

Your day sounds really lovely :hugs: xxx

:happydance: for a non :sick: day!!! You seem to have had a really lovely weekend hon. Hope things continue to go well with the kids all starting school, I'm sure they'll all be fine!:hugs:

Well feeling a little bit sicki but not as much as have been so hopefully this hitting ten-twleve week thing is true! Wow it'd be a dream, having been sick through out whole preggers with ds.

Dsd has started school last thursday, so back to old routines of mon-thurs. My ds starts on the 24 September, so school uniform shopping next week. Awww the emotion, my wickle baby boy starting school!

Oh and much to my depression none of my clothes fit me, well no tousers or skirts. I am most disgruntled being only ten weeks old I'm sure I got to like fourteen before I had to buy bigger clothes with ds, then I just continued to gro huge! So at 1o weeks I'm off to buy mat trousers GRRRR!

I just really hope it is baby and not cos I've piled on weight, cos I thought I'd actually been eating less, so now I'm terrified of getting on the scales. I put on five stone with ds, hence I'm so set on being careful abt what I eat!

Anyway cos I went out yesterday I have pleny of :laundry: to do as well as :dishes: so better go and be a good house wife!

Hi Shining :hugs: thanks for popping by my journal and checking up on me! I'm feeling much better now (except from :sick: but hoping that will ease in next few weeks!!) and I got almost all my housework done! :happydance: Still ploughing through the :iron: but that serves me right for letting it collect over the last couple of weeks!! :rofl: Enjoy being a good housewifey i'm off to finish my chores so I can spend the rest of the week on BnB guilt free!! :rofl:

:hug:

glad your sickness is hopefully disappearing hun! Sounds like you had a nice weekend and baby is growing nicely...take care hun:hug:

All that house work should keep the non baby weight off hope it keeps the sickness away too xxx

Your house all spic and span now? :rofl: Hope you are feeling good hun and those headaches have gone away! :hugs:

:hug:

hi hun

when did you start getting sick? ive not got any *touch wood* ! got scan booked for 23rd, you got yours through? super scared still, not believing it, but excited too!
Hope your well and good

how are you feeling? xxx

Brought maternity clothes today. some of the stuff in mothercare though didn't seem to give much room for growth. You are suppost to get your normal size in lcothes aren't you. Only I picked up eighteen as am normally, and some clothes just didn't seem to have much room for growth. However I have picked up a few bits, some leggings iwth extra support and a skirt.

Headaches have cleared for now thanks people, STILL not scan date have midwife app on monday so maybe we'll get it then? But who knows! I shall see what comes of Monday and if nothing then I shall start kicking some butt.

I felt sick before I did test and it got really bad in weeks eight and nine. However miraculously I haven't been physically sick this pregnancy. Don't worry SJ, here's hoping your a lucky one and skip the morning sickness, I think they say 10 % skip it altogether.

Love & Hugs

Think I'll be one of the 10% then, felt nauseous last few days but that's it.

When i went for midwife appointment, she was shocked i hadn't been given my scan date, so she phoned straight away, and they gave it to me over phone. Letter just hadn't been sent, hopefully you'll get given yours too hun!

They've got to give you your scan date soon - you're nearly twelve weeks and they need to do it around then to get an accurate date don't they?

Hope you enjoyed your shopping. I've just been buying big tops from Primark recently and they seem to be doing the job - they're not as bump enhancing as the maternity clothes I've got though.

Make sure you limber up ready for the but kicking if necessary won't you? xxx

:hug:

Yeah I'm all ready to kick butt's. I've been quit tolerant so far so anything else goes wrong I will have trouble controlling my rage! LOL

So today we brought our pram! LOL. As all ready mentioned I decided I wanted an old silver cross coach pram and a wonderful one came up at a prefect price buy it now on ebay. So all brought and being delivered on weds. Although because we don't have enuf room until we move into a bigger hse, Mum is keeping it at hers, so prob won't get to see it for a few weeks, prob end of Oct, so really hope pictures do it justice, and it's as good as it looks.

Well all geared up for tomorrow's appointment. It's not until 14.00 though so have whole day to wait thats the worst of it. Oh and my nausea and headaches have come back with a vengeance today still not been sick but have been in agony today. Just when I was getting into the swing of my revision. OH and grrrr, eczema ha started to come up on my hands, like it did with first ds, Had really hoped I'd skip that bit, cos gets me all depressed and is so itchy. I really thought for a few days there that I might actually bloom in my 2nd tri but it is obviously not to be. :~( :(

Oh and have decided I want to try and crochet a banket for my sisters baby and mine. Never crocheted before so might be completly disatrous, but can only try! Gotta go buy some hooks and wool now!

Glad you got the pram sorted out, i'd say it's going to be gorgeous. But you'll definitely have to kick some ass tomorrow to get your scan date, it's crazy that you're gone 10 weeks without even having a date....

Sorry you're still not feeling the best though:hug:

Grrr am so so so mad with fiance not even darling. Had a big argument this morning of flamin remote control. I cldn't change channel so lost my temper with remote control and threw it onto the sofa, (yes I know it was completly childish and stamping fet action, but I was alreasdy grumpy from no sleep last night cos I have the cold from hell and sick and tired of feeling sick all the flippin time. Plus my eczema is back which tbh has completly gutted me! Anyway fiance went ballistic nearly had heasrt failure cos it's his pressure ***** tv and remote. He's so completly possesive over it it really annoys me. Anything like that, his pc, his tele his dvd's. RARRRRR. To me they're just objects and not the end of the world. Anyway he completly went into :hissy: and then shouted and screaned at me for throwing my toys out of the pram! insisted I'd never admit I'm wrong and always have to be right. Well I told him I was wrong to throw the remote, but he was completly out of order to cop over a bloomin remote control. Rarrrrrrrrrrr!!

Anyway as a result I didn't want to talk to him, you see I'd rather go cool off myself (we're so the opposites of men are from mars women from venus.) He always wants to talk abt it and I just wanna go into my cave sulk, admit I was wrong or find the issue then come back to it later when I'm not all het up and gonna say things I'd regret in heat of the moment. So he just kept following me, so I ran myself a bath and locked myself in the bathroom, he's playing on his computer in a different room and has cheek to say so " is this how it's gonna be all day, you not taling to me." I just replied, " I am talking to you but you haven't even been in the same room as me."
Anyway he's gone down the shop sulking saying to my ds " at least you'll talk to me."

Then top it all off, got midwife this afternoon and I've phoned around loads of different numbers to check the time on my appointments and no one knew what number I had to call, this gp surgey is abs pathetic and really getting me irate! Anyway in the end I finally got put through to the midwife who is apparently taking the clinic this afternoon and she didn't have the times of todays app on her cos they were at the ther surgery where I'm due to go this afternoon. You'd think she might be efficicent enuf to have one piece of paper with her appointments on. So if I'm late they can't blame me I tried to check the times and am sure it's right, but wanted to be sure. I'm really starting to think nhs staff around here are incapable and I hate saying that cos generally I'm all for the NHS!

Anyway just having a crappy day thats getting worse by the hour! OH and my cold from hell isn't helping my patience eiether! GRRRRR

Anyway sorry ab the rant but I'm goin barmy!

Aww poor you, sounds like you have had a tough morning! :hugs: Men and their gadgets can be so pathetic sometimes, but that combined with being tired, ill and pregnant means you were quite right to go in a sulk in my opinion!! :rofl:

Hope you midwifes appt went well and you managed to get to the right place at the right time!! :hugs:

:hug:

So feeling alot better today.

Had complete melt down night before last, cried my eyes out. I was feeling guilty cos I felt like I wasn't bonding with my bump, almost resenting it, which I know is completly awful of me.

I just felt so poo. I was sick of being ill all the time, guess I geared myself up for a blooming second trimester too which I guess is prob not gonna happen.

I had a cold making me feel even more sicker and dizzier than usual and after seeing midwife, was a complete anti climax, forgot to ask about all the stuff I needed too (even though I had a list in my bag!) and she basically rushed me out the door, discovered midwives basically don't see you more then four time, in whole pregnancy! Which I guess I can see with good reason but I do feel a bit abandoned! Oh and top it all off discovered I'd put on a stone and a half!
I hate even writing that bit, I wouldn't mind, but I've been so careful not to eat all the time , making sure I eat healthy fruit and loadsa veg, I've not been eating crap like I did with my first pregnancy and put on five stone!!!! I've cut out choccie and biscuits. I just don't understand it! I just cried!

Thing is I know I'm not doing as much excercise as I was, not been walking up school cos of holidays etc. So I am hoping I won't put on anymore until six months or so once walking back up the school again, thing is I just moved here too and haven't managed to get a job.
Even Vision Express job fell through not cos they didn't want me but cos they cldn't offer me the hours I wanted, it's a real shock to system cos one I've never failed an interview and two I've never applied to so many jobs just to be turned down!

So I've been a completly selfish cow wallowing in self pity, I do feel better now, but still really concerned abt my weight and not feeling tip top either tbh. But hopeuflly after my scan week on fri I'll be feeling better. I think I may consider getting a doppler, just as it may help aid bonding, it all seems well unreal. Just feels like this bagy taking everything from me and nt giving anything back, LOL no kicks etc obvious bump! LOL

Oh well, anyway for those who were curious abt my enagement ring all those months ago, lol ok not that long but seems it, here's a picture it's from web site cos I was taking pictures of it on phone etc and just looked horrible, lol coudln't get angle rigght. lol

:hugs: xxxx

Don't feel bad or guilty for any of it. I think the way you're feeling is totally understandable considering what you're going through at the moment especially the lack of bonding at the moment, I don't think it's awful of you if you were to feel a bit of resentment while you're feeling so low and ill :hugs: I'm sure those feelings will pass as your health improves. If they don't it's not because you're a bad person, you've just got hormones all over the place and we're all here for you x

You see the midwife 4 times??? What's going on there? I've got my 4th appointment next Wednesday and expect to see her after then too. On my info it says I'll mw appointments at 28, 31, 34, 36, 38 and 40 weeks. That's if there's no complications, there's another couple of appointments if it goes over 40 weeks too. It says that they follow the NICE guidelines ( www.nice.org.uk ).

Love that ring, it's gorgeous! Can you post a link to your pram pics? Can't wait to see it.

:hug:
xxxxx

Wow the ring is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Sorry you're having such a hard time lately hon, it can't be easy when you're feeling ill and stuff. And don't worry about the weight, it's not like you're eating really unhealthy foods so just relax and try to take it easy. And as you say, now you're back to doing the school run, hopefully it'll get a bit easier.

Just wanted to give you huge :hug: hon for everything and especially for childish partners - I don't think they ever grow up!!!

Thanks girls your lovely. It's horrible feeling low and sorry or yourself, although I know everyone is entitled too now and again.

Oh the pram was a disaster. We brought it off ebay with description saying it was in immaculate condition, we got it delivered to my Mum's so she could store it until we move to a house.
Well My Mum cried, she was so gutted, she had seen the description too and it was a far cry from it. Worst of all was the fact it had the rear right axel all bent up so the wheel was not sturdy.
Anyway thank goodness she has said she'll refund it no fuss, so here's to us getting our money back. We debated about whether to wait for her to pay refund first or not, and eventually decided that we'd send the pram back asap cos no matter what we'd have proof of postage!
Anyway back to drawing board and scared off of using ebay for my silvercross completly unless it's local and can view it first. We'll keep looking until Jan Feb time and if we've not found one, I'll have to choose another pram. Time will tell.

Yeah apparently my midwife now does not see me until 16 weeks, then again at 28 weeks, 34, 38, 40. So ok a bit more than four times, but it's just scary cos I was so close to pre-eclampsia with my last pregnancy. Doctor said he wnated me to make app evey four weeks with midwife cops of it, but midwife has said just go to nurse to get bp checked. They are surestart midwives, doctor has nothing to do with them and as it prooves previously trying to contact them is really hard.
We also tried to contact them to re-arrange a scan time as they'd arranged it for 9.05 and couldn't do it cos of school run. That was a nightmare too, got passed around and had to ring about five different numbers. RAR! OH well

I feel alot better now re baby and bump, I think it's maybe cos it all just isn't real and df was not very 'involved abt it all, but all alot better now.

Keep smiling hun, I got a headache last night and finished me off, Just 1. Let alone you getting them lots. Be happy, look forward to scan and enjoy the time when we aren't HUGE BUMPED and can still walk normally!! xx

Thanks Sammie, hey call me daft but I hadn't realised we were so close in our due dates.

Sorry for taking the 4 times a bit too literally! Maybe the nurse will be your saviour and actually listen to what you're saying and help you - hope so anyway :hugs:

Sorry the pram was such a huge disappointment :hugs:. Hope you find your dream pram soon.

xxx

First of all, what a ring!! :shock: that is an absolute beauty of an engagement ring, i'm well jealous!!
Sorry to hear the pram didn't turn out to be what it was described, that's always the risk with ebay I suppose but still a total pisser. :(
Hope you have a fab weekend, you deserve it after a tough couple of days! :hugs:

:hug:

:wave: hiya hun! Had a bit of catching up to do in your journal! - Gllad you're feeling a bit better chick. If it makes you feel any better about the NHS, here we don't get any midwife appointments! We get referred to a gyno and he does everything - scans, weighs, blood pressure. THere is a midwife at the clinic who helps, but she will not be there at the delivery. Also no home visits, even after the birth! I haven't been to the doc's yet (well, apart from last week when they laughed me out of the office!), but I guess it'll be the same as it was with my LO!

Hope you're feeling a bit more relaxed chick! :hugs::hugs:

Hiya

What a fab ring!!!
Sorry about the pram you will find one soon and it will be 1000 times nicer!

Sorry you have been having a rough time but glad your feeling better now :hugs:

Hope everything is ok
Sarah

Hi hun. I found you at last!! Hope you are ok. xxxx

Hi hun :hugs: hope you are ok, did you have a good weekend?

:hug:

No scan picture up then? :winkwink:

:hug:

Hi all, welcome wishing, thanks for popping by.

Weekend wasn't too bad. Mon/tues though I was really sick, continually throwing up, cldn't even keep my water down was awful. But I am much better now, and not feeling too sick.

I had my scan today, we had it moved from friday to today cos of the times. I had a scan and bloods done at the hospital, apparently I have a few antenatel appoint at the hospital, which is a bit weird. But getting used to it. Not got a preg pack from bounty yet, which I'm disapointed with.

Anyway the scan was lovely, the baby didn't stop moving, the first thing it did was show us it's bum. LOL and then continued to somersault continuously making it difficult to take any measurements. Both me and df couldn't stop smiling, it was lovely. So all was well, which was a huge relief as I was really nervous abt this scan. They've also put me forward a week so my due date is now 1 april 2009.

Thing is they've done exactly the same as they did with my ds, he originally had due date of 21 april, and we had our dating scan and they put it to the 14 april, BUT he was born on 21 april weighing 9lb 4oz, so wondering if they had due date right to start with and he was just a big baby. So wondering if it'll be the same case again. Cos according to the dates it takes me before my lmp. But I'm not gonna change it, lol cos the further away it is from my ds birthday the better. hehe!

No scan picture up then? :winkwink:

:hug:

No, no scan picture up yet, df has got to re-install the scanner as he never used it before, so he's plannning to do it tomor, along with trying to sort out dsd's birthday tea.

:happydance: Woohoo for your scan!!! You must have been so relieved to see a bouncing baby in there! At least you're still in April babies with the rest of it, would have been tragic if you'd had to move over to March! Here's hoping your luck rubs off on me for this Friday!!:hugs:

Hiya

Glad you scan was great cant wait to see pics
And jumping forward a week is great thats 1 less week of stress

Fantastic news, your forward 1 im back 3! so now theres a whole month between our due dates!!! We were a day until our scan's! Oh gosh :P

Can't wait to see your pic - make sure that DF of yours knows we're waiting!!! :hugs:

Glad your scan went well x Sorry you've been so ill. The rest of your pregnancy has to be lovely know.

:hug: xxx

ohhh youve had your scan! can't wait to see the pictures.

I saw the pic of your ring - i cannot agree more with the other girls, it's gorgeous!! :)

hey all

LU I'm sure all will be well tonight for you and I'll be reading your journal in a moment abt how wonderful it was!
RAH Yeah I moved to my second tri without even realising it, hehe!
SAMMIELOUIZE I know I can't believe you got put back a whole 3 weeks, how stressing, oh well more time to enjoy being sick and getting fat, hehe!
ELM Was hoping they'd be up by now, doh, need to scan them into pc as we've got two attached to our notes that we didn't pay for so we need to get them scanned in too. Also wanna do the old nub test thingie.
CUSIOSA Hey hunni glad your back, i'll go catch up on your journal in abit hope you got come holi pics up! Thought you were away for longer?


So obviously the scanner didn't get istalled, we had such a busy day yesterday, I was abs shattered, catered for the thousands and as a result loads left. LOL OH well all fun of fair. SD really enjoyed herself which is worth it and I think made df proud? LOL

Thank you all for commenting on my ring, hehe. I still look at it now, and adore it really is perfect ring, hehe.

Pregnancy unfortunately is still sucking, lol but then I didn't expect anything less, I hated being pregnant with ds and obvs not gonna be a dream pregnancy this time either. I wldn't mind if it meant i'd sail through my labour, but guarantee that be another 26 hour jobbie. Found out at scan that my placenta is at the front again, which means baby will prob be back to back again! DOH! oh well. It'll be worth it, after the scan I'm also convinced it's a girl, weird, but just looked at it on screen and got a complete daughter gushie feeling! OH and the gel was really WARM. LOL

Anyway I shall go catch up with the rest of you all, Love & Hugs as always!

Lol - I got warm get too!!!

Aren't births supposed to get easier the more you have?

Suppose your DF did get you that beautiful ring so will forgive him the scanning delay! (I'm trying to get mine to scan our pics at work and he hasn't got round to it yet).

:hugs: xxx

:yipee: I got warm gel too!!! I was all prepared for the coldness too!! :rofl:

Hope you get that scanner up and running soon so we can stalk your picture!! :D We can also then have our own guess as to whether it's a girl or a boy! :dance:

How was your weekend? Still feeling poo?

:hug:

Oooh can't wait to see the pics! I always got cold gel and I always thought it was supposed to be that way! Lucky you! xxx

Hi hun, sorry you are having a rough time and the nightmare with the pram! Can't wait to see your scan pic - how exciting! xx

Just dropping by to say hi :hi: and see if the piccie is up yet! :D

:hug:

Sorry girls still not picture, I will nag him tomorrow when kids are at school.

So horrible evening, I found out my sister has had her scan and baby has club foot and the docs have terrified her by saying it's really high chance of downs syndrome! I was devastated to be honest cried over the phone to my Mum who bless her changed the subject to Kaya and his first day at school.
I'm just so upset for her and I don't know what to do, I don't know whether to email her or leave her be as she hasn't phoned me only my Mum, my Mum had to tell me as I didn't want to keep texting her and going on about it all.
I'm worried, she'll not want to talk to me cos I'm pregnant and only be with df minimal time to how long she's been with her hubby! I'm worried she's upset and hurting. I'm worried she won't be able to enjoy her pregnancy anymore, when I moaned at her for having an easy pregnany and being jammy! I'm worried about things I've said about them as a couple how they always strive for perfection etc and almost feel like I've brought this one on them. I know I haven't, but the guilt I feel is awful, and then angry with myself for thinking about me at a time like this. it's not that the child will have club foot or possible downs, my family are great and we will all love the child NO MATTER WHAT! It's the worry, the pain the child will have to go through with continuous operations. They are also worried about cleft palate too but could not see this as babies head was so low down. She has a scan in six weeks to try and see more.

I'm just aching, and keep crying on and off, this is their first child, I'm on my second and it scares me more too. I just felel completly selfish and sad. I don't even know what I would want from you gals, I dunno. But it's a diary for expressing and thats all I can do right now!

:hugs: hope it's really good news from now on xxx

:hugs::hugs: That's gutting news hun - I do feel for you. You mustn't feel guilty about anything - this is just down to bad luck and nothing else. I don't know if you should talk to your sis - how is your relationship with her? But, even if the worst comes to the worst and the baby has all of those things wrong, they will get through it. These things are terrible and upsetting, but in the end people do cope - because they have to. I used to teach a little boy with Downs and he was such a sweetie. I hope everything works out ok, but even if it doesn't things will work out in a way you and they didn't expect. We never know what crap life is going to dish out next, but if there is one guarantee it is that there WILL be plenty of crap! We just never know when and what exactly. It will be ok chick - be brave. :hugs::hugs:

:hug:

Oh hun :( so sorry to hear your sisters news. You really shouldn't feel guilty, this isn't down to anyone other than the fates. Of course you will all be worried and upset and of course you are upset for the operations the baby will possibly have to go through, maybe try and get a message to your sister letting her know you are thinking of her and leave it open for her to approach you when she is ready. :hugs:

Hope you and bump are doing well otherwise :hug:

So sorry to hear about your sister and bad you feel! What can i say? You rant all you want and we will listen! xx

:hug:

hi hun... sorry to hear about your sister - my thoughts are with her... hope u and spud are well otherwise.:hug:

Heye gals.

So sorry not been on but I was being a good girl and getting all my revision done had my exam yesterday, I think it well.

Surprise surprise the man hasn't installed the scanner yet, I'd prob be able to do it quite capably but seeing as it's his computer and we've moved to his house, I dunno it all feels a bit can't touch, iykwim, role on moving out and into OUR home. Anyway I have used the digi cam to take piccies, there not to ace but they'll do.

There's been a few things goin on, but so much I can't think what to write. Ds is thoroughly enjoying school, and ad parents evening this evening his teacher said he's settled in too.

Unfortunately I have found out the sperm donor (thats putting it mildly, he's not worth the time it takes to think abt him.) a complete cock, who had three years of court cases to get through to get him to leave us alone has apparently started to look for us and has even had the cheek to think I'd add him as a friend to facebook. Yeah right after the years of hell he gave us both! But thats another story!

Hope every one else is ok, I will try and catch up with everyone, but bare with me, still feeling sick and tired with alot of headaches.

Thanks for all your suport re my sister, things not looking so bad, it was a bit of a shock but in all honesty all shld be well, despite the club foot. Bless it.

Love & Hugs to all.

Love and :hug: hon xxx

That's great that things aren't looking so bad for your sister and her baby.

Hope you hit 16 weeks and leave all the sickness, utis and headaches alone :hugs:

Looks like you've got some lovely scan pics

xxx

POpping in to say Hi! Get rid of these sickness etc soon !

Hey all,

So call me mad but I'm sure I'm getting kicks! I have had three prods/pokes that have made me jump! On the sides where I know the baby is. You'd think I'd remember but I can't. Everything seems so different this time round. It's not a regular thing, but now and again. I guess odds are with babe swimming around all that space bound to get close to the edge well where I can feel it sometimes.

I am a bit worried abt nf measurement, didn't wanna post it as didn't want people to react weirdly I guess. Well this babie nf is 2.4 mm and 3mm is the point they get concerned, I also looked at the thickness of nf decihering boy or girl thread and all have been 1.9 and under. My ds was 1.9 mm which makes me worry even more. I dunno t just wldn't surprise me, I've kinda thought abt it alot since being pregnant, even thought over in my mind if I'd have a temrination or not, cos of the other two children, I wldn't but I think you'd be nieve not to think abt it tbh. Anyway nothings confirmed and have got the triple test and scan results with 'risk' factor app on 23 Oct.

Anyway I'm gonna go browse around some pregnancy journals, bye for now.

Love & Hugs

:hugs: I'm sure everything is fine with your LO xxx You're quite far from the 3mm mark of concern, I'm sure that with your LO being so small that's quite a significant difference xxx

I think it's only natural to worry about things - I'd got it all planned what I was going to do if there was a high risk before I had the triple test as I wanted to be prepared for the outcome.

:hug:

I agree with Elm, i'm sure everything is fine although it is difficult not to worry about every little thing :hugs:

Can't believe you are getting little kicks already! I can't wait untill I can start to feel my LO move about!! :dance:

Hope you are well hun :hugs:

:hug:

Thanks girls, yeah I looked into it and read abt people getting measurements of 5-7 mm and baby being fine and I'm guessing cos was put forward a week, that the measurement might be bigger anyway. Like you said you can't help worrying though can you!

Well now I know I've had movement, I was starting to doubt my description of little eyelid trapped nervy sensation, but have had it ALLL day. So I'm definately getting movement now, and I think cos baby lying 'transverse' at mo most of time, seems to like this postion with head facing down towards 'hairline'. I am feeling the odd kicks too. All the back pain and side pain has eased of loads and I think it's cos my uterus has now moved up in line with my belly button, whereas before i cld feel the baby online with pelvis if that makes sense.

Think am officially looking pregnant too as had one lady today ask when I was due. :happydance:

AND EVEN BETTER WOKE UP WITH NO SICKNESS, NO HEADACHES, WOKE UP FEELING GREAT! Long may it continue, oh and cut all my hair off too, hehe now above jaw line, and I LUUURRRVE it!

all in all great day!

glad u sound so well and try to not worry - yay for bubba moving!!! All sounds good to me...:hug:

:wohoo: for baby moving hun. hope everything is ok - i think its pretty normal to worry about everything hun. Try to relax. :hug:

New hairdo sounds good....I should really get round to having mine done but I leave it so long in between visits (I go twice a year :blush:) I usually end up getting a telling off from my hairdresser and i'm not in the mood for a telling off right now!! :rofl:
Hope you are still feeling great hun! :hugs:

:hug:

Happy new hairdo! Glad you feel better about the nf measurement. THere are so many things to worry us! :hugs:

Well sad to say the no sickness and feeling great didn't last yersterday I felt abs awful! This is so mean! LOL

Today I feel not bad, but have had a completly tiring day. I seem to be craving meat meat and more meat as well. Really wanted a lamb shish kebab or steak at eleven pm last night unfortunately had no cash so couldn't get delivery as they don't seem to take cards over phone around here at takeaways. so darling fiance made me beefburgers which kinda helped it a bit, but didn't quite fit the bill.

Love and Hugs

Sounds like you need an emergency meat money stash!!!!

Your new haircut sounds lovely :). I haven't had any strangers at all ask me when I'm due, I'm going to have stick my bump right out and rub it and hang around old women for a bit I think :rofl:

xxx

Hi

Wow how exciting getting movement it must be so strange :happydance: i cant wait lol

I have just been putting my mouse curser over your hair to make it shorter and i like it looks fab even if i have made it a little wonkey lol

I hope your not worrying about the nf as much it is still quite a distance from 3mm hard i know

Anyways hope the sickness does disspear very soon not fair its still here at 16 weeks!!!!

Sarah

LOL well it hasn't disapeared, still feeling nauseous, think I must of just had a miracle day. LOL I seem to get the odd one now and again.

So we ordered doppler and it arrived next day as mentioned but we were out, anyway lovely df picked it up this morning and abt lunch time we had a go, was quite difficult to find at first but we got it. Gonna try tonight at 9pm whihc is the 'active' period.

Hope everyone is good, LOL @ you elm hehe, funny enuf it was a little old lady! haha. how on earth did you guess.

Yay for feeling movement, I can't wait to get to that stage!! You're going to have to post a pic of the new haircut too, dying to see how it turns out:hugs:

Hi hun...just thought I would pop in to say hello. So happy to hear that you have felt movement..none for us yet but hopefully soon!! Hope you and your LO are doing great!! Take care xo:hugs:

new face, lol and so close in date how have I missed you LMAO, I'll go find your journal!

Brought doppler, arrived next day! We found heartbeat yesterday morning, but by the evening and this morning baby has disapeared well the hb anyway. Trouble is my placenta lies right under my belly button and across the front so hard to hear and feel movement! HAd exactly the same with ds. Spent days in hossie, cos he wasn't moving or cldn't find heartbeat! another little bugaboo!

i couldn;t find mine either hun. Little monkeys havng a right laugh at us!

so exciting about movement and doppler!!! Have a lovely weekend hun!:hug:

Just a quick one before I go eat my bacon
