Agutka have you actually told him what needs doing i mean like right down to basics ive found with some men unless you give them step by step instructions they get a bit overwelmed ie: if is say to other half house needs tidying he will go oh ok i will help then he sits there looking lost so i do a little list now which says i'm going to do abc and you do 123 he thens knows exactly what he has to do and gets on with it :-)

I got into trouble this morning doing just that. I asked him to take the rubbish out and then asked again not realising he'd already done it. How sensitive are they??
I will make a list, though I have done it before. He still has one by his keyboard from a fortnight ago - nothing major, maybe 10mins work max, but he never managed it.

Ooh gotta go, little mr Impatience wants me.

Hi all, Sorry I have only posted here once although I do try and keep reading it but it moves so fast I have a job to keep up!

I am 32 weeks and got all my sons newborn netural baby clothes out at the weekend and washed, ironed them and they are all in babys wardrobe. :j Feel like a good job done and getting really excited now I have seen all the clothes again.

I am trying to get organised cos I am worried I might be a bit depressed at the end of the month because it will be a year since I had a missed miscarriage - has anyone else on this thread gone through that anniversary while pregnant? How did you feel? I tried not to get too stressed on the due date of my angel but it was really hard.

I also wanted to ask has anyone got the same craving as me?? (I feel like a weirdo! :rotfl:) I am craving smells! Especially oily/coal burning smells. I was worried I am lacking some vitamins but m/w said its normal and not to worry. But I can not believe how much time I spend craving the smell - I almost want to taste it! Don't worry I am not going to burn anything to smell

I love the smell of petrol, always have but more so now, and creosote type smells, and burning smells as well so you're not alone :rotfl:

Some of the ladies on the miscarriage support thread will be able to help you, they are great :T

I have to admit I'm now 18 weeks and my super sense of smell is easing off. I used to walk into my house and be convinced it smelled of cat wee and no one else could smell it :rotfl:

MSD I had an ectopic in sept 08 and gave birth to my son on sept 09 that was a little hard for a few days before he was born but to be honest once he was here he was all i could think about.

Ive never craved smells strong ones make me feel sick but i have heard of women craving coal its apparently quite common :-)

Thanks.

Smells made me sick at the start and now I can not get enough:rotfl:

I had heard of people wanting to eat coal but not smell it. Cravings are so weird and I didn't really get them when pregnant with my son so I can not believe how strong it is.

I posted on the mc support thread thanks - i just feel bad posting there because I am lucky enough to be pregnant again. It is hard to grieve for one baby and be excited about another all at the same time and as if we are not emotionally messed up enough while preggers!

Had a good visit with the midwife today. Saw the nice, young bubbly one. She was amazed when I said I was 36 + 3 as she didnt expect me to be that far along! I'm measuring 34 but she said that was fine and it's right near the 'average' line on my graph.

Baby is head down on the brink of my pelvis but still free, which I'm quite relieved about as I could do with at least another week to get sorted before he comes! She woke him up while she was feeling him and he had a good wriggle so she's written 'active baby' on my notes lol

Glad everything went well Gill :-)

Several times and twice I've done it more than once in one pregnancy!

If you hadn't had the m/c you wouldn't have this healthy baby you are now carrying.. I am pretty mercenary about m/c's TBH and tend to upset people but they are simy not even thought about very often.. I've had 7 m/c's and after the initial upset and it being dealt with it is forgotten.. it was (they have all been before 12 weeks) a ball of nothingness.. other than 2 they didn't even look like an embryo but a fuzzy blob of mush. Most m/c's happen ebcause there is something wrong with the baby so in many ways I am glad to have m/c'd I wouldn't want to have a baby with multiple and complex issues.

The last one was due March sometime.. I can't even remember the date such was the significance.. I didn't even remember until a friend of OH asked if we had had it yet.. it isn't important to me.. look to the future and the healthy baby you WILL have, not the blob of cells you don't have.

afternoon ladies,

had my 20 week scan today and was amazing, bubs was being a bit naughty and hiding bits of him so had to roll around like a whale for 5 minutes. got lovely pics of face and was all good. Have to have glucose test again this time and also have another scan at 32 weeks so looking forward to that!!!!
