Wow! I wasn;t on last night so have just caught up and this is going to be a long one!

In no particular order:

I've just got back from seeing the doctor who finally agreed to refer me. He rand EPAU who said they couldn't fit me in until Saturday! He said if he was worried about my physical health he could get me an earlier appointment but that he didn't think I would get an infection. I'm more worried about my mental health! We told him we could get in privately at Leeds Screening Centre tomorrow at 8.20am so just to forget it. Maybe I'm being unrealistic but I think that it's horrendous that they can leave you bleeding for up to 6 days before you get your scan, I know that if it's a mc they can't 'do' anything but I would have gone out of my mind with what if's by then.

At least if it's bad news tomorrow morning then I'm hoping I can pull myself together over the next couple of days & still have an enjoyable bank holiday weekend with my OH & DD. Having a scan in the middle of the BH weekend would just have made the whole thing a mess.

My OH is staying optimistic as I've not had any real pain or cramping & the bleeding isn't gushing (TMI sorry) like my period would be so he thinks everything will be ok. Personally I don't want to think like that as if it's bad news that will make it even more painful to hear.

I will come back & let you know how it goes. Thank you again.

A.x

I hope all goes well tomorrow. When I had my mc I was gushing much more than a period so it sounds hopeful, especially as you've not had any pain. Will pray for you. :A

OH's new phrase.. "Stop tormenting the baby!". There's a solid wall between us - how does he know I'm doing it?!

How high up should you feel kicks/punches? I imagined if baby was head down (like 35+ weeks), or lying on his back face up that all the kicks/punches would be around or above my belly button but do they not go that high? Everything I'm feeling now seems to be far down or an inch or two below my belly button..

I mostly feel mine low down and assumed that was because at the 20-week scan baby was lying breech, but now I feel it most around my tummy button (which hasn;t popped yet! Yay!) and I think maybe Bubba has turned round?

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was just lying here looking at my belly (as you do !! ) and noticed that I have 2 very large and very red stretch marks on either side of my bump

I got absolutly millions of them with Jasmine, but so far had not got any new ones, and now there here with over 10 weeks to go

I moisturise my tummy and sides every day but never did my boobs and now have hideous purple stretch marks on my left boob Every time I think about them I want to cry and I feel so ugly as a result. I have about 15 weeks still to go and if I get any more I will be so upset. I know I shouldn;t be like this but I can;t help it - OH doesn;t fancy me preggie so we don;t have sex at the moment (don;t even really kiss or cuddle) and I feel SO unattractive. We've only been married ten months so I feel I've let him down by getting ugly so quickly

My day was rubbish!!
OH got up to take his van back to work and he was walking to his mum's from there and she brought him back here so she could see chris too.
Then OH took Chris with him to drop dyson off to be fixed, I said I'd saty here and have a shower (don't like having shower while I'm alone with Chris as he makes a mess and also now scared he'll fall down the stairs again and I wouldn't be able to get to him as quick) I was catching up on here 1st tho and still was when he got home, Chris went in the kitchen and ignored our calls for him to come back so OH just flew into a rage like the hulk or summat, stomped in the kitchen screamed at and smacked Chris then came in here and literally snatched webby off me ripping the plug n mouse out and screaming (Chris understandably was screaming crying while this was going on)
When I told him to stop be ridiculous and give me back my webby he told me to f-off so I grabbed Chris, 'ran' upstairs and calmed him (while trying to not cry coz I seriously thought if I tried to do anything like snatch webby back he would have hit me) so I just got Chris calm shoved some clothes on and squirted some deo on then went out in the car. I headed for mum's as its close and she has everything needed to look after Chris but she was out so we dognapped my Meg and went to a local walk thing http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=89718&id=541141775&l=1f00278e31
We had a lovely time but Im not speaking to OH and don't know what to do
He doesn't get proper angry often but when he does he gets a real red mist and the last 2 times he's lost it I have seriously been scared and both times Chris was there screaming in tears, I don't want to bring up my children with a dad like that but I just feel 'stuck' at the moment, I love OH but I can't live with someone who can't control their anger and most certainly will not allow my babies to grow up witnessing that!! sorry I know you lot can't do anything but I don't really have anyone to talk to

Aww Sami! I know you've posted more after this one but I echo that this is in;t acceptable and hope you can talk to him and get this sorted. Just cos it's a 'red mist' doesn;t make it OK! What if he hurts you? Or Chris? Or the baby? He has to get this under control. A friend has a hubby who gets like this (he is ex-army and now a copper) and he has learned to count to ten and not go off one one. Their boys are teenagers now and nightmares at times and he sometimes goes and punches a wall instead of flying at them but at least he has learned to do that.

Morning all, I hope you are all well, please can you put me back on the ttc, as it seems this time was not meant to be. Thanks and hugs to nickabella, i hope you are not going to join me over there.

I'm so, so sorry Leopardlady. As you know, I have had a mc so if you want to talk please just PM me. :A

[QUOTE=jacksons mum;20433499]thats interesting about the mucus plug Mrs Moc, you really do learn something new everyday on this thread!

does anyone know anything about freecycle ettiquette, ive just replied to a post offering a moses basket, i just put that i would be really gratefull for it and could collect any time, its the first time ive used freecycle, did i need to put anything else?[/QUOTE]

With freecycle, I always say why I want it and give a bit of backstory. When I give things away I hate it when I get emails that just say 'I'd like this'. cos I think well of course you do! But I want to knwo why I should give it to them and not someone else. Omnce I gave something to a guy who sent me the funniest email ever - I like it when they put effort in so I always out effort in if I want something.

I got a lovely Mothercare chest/changing table from freecycle months ago. It is now home to OH's computer equipment :rolleyes:

As for tax credits... We get sweet FA... *sigh* I know I should be grateful that we both have good incomes but we also both have the debts to go with them... don't get me wrong - we're reducing them drastically every month but it does sometimes get to me when I have paid a tonne of taxes each month for my entire working life (since I was 17 so 12+ years now) and I get £190 one off and then some daft small amount every week and people who don't work get £500 plus a month easy... that does really upset me! If I got £500+ a month I could afford to stay home too but DH earns too much so we won't get that and that means despite on paper earning more then I can't afford to stay home with my children but people who don't work or earn a lot less than what we have worked very hard for get paid to stay home with their babies...
Not aimed at anyone btw... just feel like it's very unfair sometimes that because we've worked very hard at building our careers up then we're not entitled to anything
*sigh* moan over

I agree! OH and I have always worked, the I got made redundant and all I will get is MA and nothing else as far as I can work out. THey even screwed up my JSA, gave me £6.07 and have ignored my letters asking them to reconsider! I HATE that if you work hard all your life you get sweet FA. Makes me wish I'd got knocked up at 16 and just lived off the state. :rolleyes:


I have a GP app this afternoon. Not till 5.40 though! Think it is just routine to hear the HB and measure FH. Am going to ask about my back though, and my right hip with is so bad at the moment I'm limping! Don;t suppose there's much he can do though.

Sorry about fonts - this box has gone all weird and I can;t sort it out.

Afternoon everyone....

Nickebella i really hope everything is okay at your scan tomorrow. I bled on and off from 6 to about 15 weeks and everything was fine but i also know how worrying it can be. I am thinking of you.

Leapordlady im so sorry to hear your bad news. Hope you and your OH take care of each other.

Sami, thinking about you too. Hope you sort things out with your OH.

Been trying to catch up and it all seems quite glooomy. Im now 27 + 2 and the time is just flying by. Cant believe we'll have a little one soon.

All this talk of chlymidia....when i had my booking in appt with the MW it was one of the tests they carried out then?? It must have been as i can remember them telling me the results had came back all clear.

Elle...when you were asking yesterday about movement....Most of my movement is from just above my belly button and below. I know that she is still breach tho. I can feel the top of my uterus about one inch below my breast bone and can normally feel an arm almost as high up but the hand slightly lower. Her feet are almost at my pubic bone x

ALIBOBSY

Need to sign off this thread now, sadly my scan today showed no heartbeat, so likely to miscarry shortly.
Good luck to all of you ladies with bumps on here.
Off to hug my 3 kids alot.

MrsT - if you are under 25 there should be a Chlaymdia screening programme where you can do the pee in the pot jobbie and get the result back in a week by text,

Skintchick - just wanted to say - don't get upset by morons on other threads!

Re - stretch marks. I have some on my boobs from when they was MASSIVE (said Ali G style!). So I will probably get them on my tum!
Knowing that I'm heading for a growth spurt over the next 3 weeks, I'm going to use the dregs of my Bio Oil and then get some Rescue Oil ASAP!!
OH loves the fact I'm pregnant he thinks it's really sexy! Which is nice but also means he always wants to get jiggy!!

I'll just tell her I've been speaking to friends (I have! You're all friends ) and someone mentioned it and now it has me worried although I have no cause to think I have it it's worrying me...

Sorry If I've worried you by bringing it up but it's been on my mind and hoped some of you would have more info for me (which you did). Turns out I've just made other people worry too. Sorry.

(((Hugs))) Ali

It is a very sad time at the moment with lots of people leaving us - hope to see you back here very very soon.
