hello ladies ill need to go and catch up!! well after sleeping all yest aft i got up had dinner, dropped things off at friends nipped into my mums, home by 8.30 and back into bed??? couldnt believe how tired i am. i do have MW on mon but think my iron levels are also very low.

think i might go and buy some iron tablets and get a big pot of lentil soup on the go:D mum kept telling me if i feel the need to sleep then do it, think half the problem is that im going to bed too tired and thats what is keeping me up all night. anyway off to put more washing on, kick OH out of bed and head to town for some nighties and things for making a bag up as i havent got anything like that ready??(was told to make bag up just in case:O)

Thanks feelie, it's my symphis pubis joint that hurts the most, when I'm walking I feel it but when I've been lying on my side it just starts to throb and is agony, spent most of last night with my big pillow between my knees and I think it's helped swapping sides with hubby... The only trouble I've had with my sacroliac joints is that they pop a fair bit when I try to roll over and they feel really stiff if I've been still for a while then get moving again... Bump is still small really (In comparison to what I know it's going to be!) So I suppose I'll just sit it out a bit... See the midwife at the end of the month so I'll mention it again but considering their earlier non-interest in it I won't hold my breath for any sympathy!

Oh, and I've seen that big baby program before (think it might of been a two parter) and what happened to that girls CS scar is my biggest fear of having to have a CS, I had a friend who's scar split open and oozed nasty stuff for weeks after, she couldn't even lift her baby out of the cot....

Hi guys,

Just checking in. Will go back and read the threads in a mo to catch up. I hope everyone is OK.

I had my early scan yesterday (which was my sons first birthday so I am very glad it was good news!). Saw little mass of cells beating away and it was so beautiful! I can't wait to find out what the sex is it is KILLING me not to know. I need to know if to give away all the boys clothes from Alexander that I have been saving!!! I have read about a blood test but my OH says £179 is a waste of money and that we can wait until April and the 20 week scan. I don't know if I can!!

Thanks but what I had in mind was really Old-Style at it's core. I realise the boards have to be kept tidy tho.

Morning all!

I can't get myself back into this work routine. Can't seem to manage to get myself to bed at a reasonable hour (gone 12 again last night :rolleyes: ) and although I have altered my office hours so I don't have to be in til 9 I am still absolutely shattered.

I have read through but my mind is now blank. (((HUGS))) to all should cover it

Angela, we lost our 2nd after i had an abruption at 18 weeks. I spent time on mag and treb with our last pg and it was one of the worst experiences i've ever had. I'd tried to push it all to the back of my mind whilst TTC, but now im finally pregnant i can't stop thinking about it all I hope everything turns out ok for you this time, i know how nerve wracking it is. Sounds like they're on top of everything this time

The doc today seemed to think it was something to do with blood clots between you and the placenta and this seperated it....not sure how true that is..Both of mine were near the end ( well almost 33 and 34 weeks and babies were fine) but they seem paranoid this time with me x

becky_sleaf - re double buggies

There was 19 months between our first too although that was a while ago now We had a M&P aria twin, which for the time it was used was fab. Lightweight (when empty!) easy to fold, would stand up on its own, large shopping basket and was quite narrow (for a double pram!) very easy to manouver too. I know they still make Aria's so am presuming that they still make the double... DD1 was very independant though and I think I only used it for 6-8months gave up trying to strap her in in the end :rolleyes: The downsides would have been shopping basket would sometimes drag (and get a hole in it) harnesses were very neat (i.e. dd1 is/was very petite and with a winter coat on you somtimes struggled to buckle up)

Although I guess you need to choose if you prefer a side-by-side or a one-infront-of the-other pram.

It has been a very long 2 1/2 weeks lurking :rolleyes: due with number 4 on the 2nd September (I am so paranoid was trying to wait for 12wks but DH keeps on telling people :rotfl:)

Triggles...I think im the second oldest at 39...already have a 16 and 14 year old so no doubt i'll find it different this time too x

Hmm - just found this - opened it and never replied! I'm 38 - will be 39 when this one arrives. I have an 11 year old, an 8 year old and (as of yesterday!) a 3 year old

Triggles

greent - thanks so much for your response. I am 9 wks with #4. I have diverticular disease, so I am paranoid about getting constipated as well. Any straining or pushing means the prolapse is much more pronounced (and is soooo uncomfortably weird feeling!). I also have a retroverted/tilted uterus. I've been quite nervous about all this being a problem - I really would like to have a vaginal birth - I have never had a c-section and don't want to start now. I am relieved to hear that it should be okay to have a vaginal birth even though the prolapse is there. I didn't want the midwife to think I'm utterly paranoid, but neither do I want to have serious bladder/pelvic problems after the delivery for the rest of my life! Mine did get worse initially, so I'm hoping it will get a bit better as I get further along. I'm debating the lactulose - they offered it to me but I said I would try to get along with it - but I'm thinking it might be better to prevent any problems. I've never taken it before - how does it affect you - is it a drastic thing - or just a moderate help?
