I decided to test my SPD today by going into town as I wanted to spend my Debenhams voucher - ended up hobbling home in agony, but did get two bargain Miriam Stoppard maternity bras. Reduced to half price and then another 50% taken off at the till, plus the £5 voucher it worked out at £2.40 per bra - my sandwich on the way home cost more! Thought I'd let you ladies know in case you want to check them out. They are non-wired so don't give great shape (esp for us larger ladies) but v.comfortable so great for just slopping round the house.

Shame about the SPD, but :money:on your bargains

Back from the hospital, its not good, the chaance is actually higher than 1 in 2 and with the blood results, it could be edwards, patau or another syndrome, some of which are incompatiable with life. I have opted for a cvs as I need to know, and that can be done next week, where as an amino I would have to wait for another four weeks, which I couldnt cope with. With the blood results being so bad there is a high chance of heart defects. so its looking verrrry bad.

I don't know what to say pawpurrs. Biggest hugs to you and good luck for the CVS test.

Welcome!

Giz sorry I did mean to answer this but had so many posts to read forgot I went back on the pill 6 weeks after DD was born, the doc gave me a prescription after going through different forms of contraception.

Thanks Teenie.

Right, I think I've read every now. I have some more questions, or rather not questions but a need to feel like I'm not alone in a few things...

Firstly am I the only one who hasn't got huge boobs? I haven't gone up a cup, just needed bigger inches. so 36C to 38C. I don't think this is a big change for someone who is 6 months preggers.

Second, people are saying they talk to their bumps and the baby responds with kicking! Mine doesn't! I can't seem to do anything to provoke a response. He/she just moves when he/she wants to.

However I think I might have felt hiccups now.

My boobs are usually 40B, when preg I an a 42B no massive hooters for me even though I could really do with some just to cheer me up a bit lol.

Also my bump has a mind of his own and kicks the carp out of me at any given point. No specific stimuli gets him going he just decides now is a good time and goes for a good old wriggle.

This was the same for DD as well. Giz there is common rule for all pregnancies which is..... There are no common rules to pregnancies even in the same women second, third, fourth times etc.

HTH lol

Tinkwings glad you have a lil Miss Average......fingers crossed average-ness continues through til birth

MV TTC thread?!!??.......I am thinking you might need to see some sort of health professional :rotfl: :rotfl: In a word....NO!!!

Digital chuffed you got to hear the HB so early, you are so lucky My MW would not even try, and recently she has only heard mine by mistake and missed the bumps! :eek:

nic will be booking you in for a massage pls........do you do home visits

Teenie ex is an alcopolic in semi-denial who attempts to mentally mess with me once in while, he left when I was 8 weeks gone (my choice)

Lilac I used to be a vet nurse if you need your OH "dealt with" on the cheap :rotfl: (see, keeping it MSE!)

BigBird come join me in the banning of google to pregnant women :rotfl: I have had a curry this evening, typically it has not affected my poos

Lillian I understand it is usual hours not zero hours hun

tigtag who do these contractions start and get us excited to only go and flaming stop :mad:

fantafan not sure I have welcomed you, sorry I'm not normally so rude really LOL

jojo as others have said, stick that tummy out and look preggers lady, they'll take them up :cool:

ema ROFL @ visions of you looking in skips for an old Ikea cot

HM I try to remember the luck in being preggers when I feel down, but I know it is really hard sometimes

M-I-3 nice work with the bras...mine grew loads last time, but at 38+5 I am still wearing my pre-preggers ones this time.....odd!

Sammy I NEVER get the luck that someone visits when I am tidy.......jammy lady

GFH only 14 working weeks......that has really flown by hun!

iceice few people want to find out these days for some reason.....I did though and I am glad I did, feel all mentally ready for an actual boy now!

Rockin not sure what to say to your post hun, but I think alot of women, while delighted to be preggers, still have mixed feelings about it at some point. And I can confidently say I still often forget I am until I try to do something that hurts

Cutterby do not lurk lady, we love a bit of fresh meat :rotfl: :rotfl:

Tickle stop wishing out the babies I'm feeling the pressure :rotfl:

Giz you are asking Q's waaaaaaaay above my knowledge level so I will let those in the know help you

And finally Ladylegs, Plymouth and Fuzz I'm feeling for you ladies, I'm understanding the aches, the "are you still here's" the "have you not had it yet" and all the other jazz, along with the wondering if every twinge is the start........gotta love pregnant and childbirth. Hugs to you all :A :A :A

Epic post over. I will cry if this crashes as it is posting :eek: :eek:

Hello - I'm still lurking even though I gave birth 5 weeks ago .

Hello there young lady, nice to see you back here!!!! Glad I'm on my first!!! That afterpains thing sounds a little uncomfortable!

oxclaireox - splendid about Montrose, but ARI wouldn't let you have a look? That's a bit worrying! As I said, I think Montrose first then Ninewells in Dundee for second choice.

Gizmodo - I am not looking forward to trying to decide on a pram and all the bits to go with it. There is sooo much choice and it's a bit scary!!!

tickle and hungrymummy - hope you both feel better soon

Dusty - know what you mean about booking things for next year, now there is someone else going to be around that needs to be taken care off before I can swan off on my jollys!!! :T

Bigbird - hope you get something for that cold sore, very dangerous for little babies!!!! Yes, I have googled, step away from the google!!!

Emsy - oh hunni, sorry to hear the hospital malarky was a waste of time and not very pleasant either!!! Huge hugs....

Fuzz - love the pity post, it's just fab being pregnant isn't it (as she swigs out of the gaviscon bottle permanently beside her at the computer)

Pawpurrs - not much I can say other than there is a very huge hug here for you.....

Digital - great to hear the heartbeat I would imagine. At my 16 week appointment Midwife wouldn't even try as she didn't want to upset me if she couldn't find it. Yeah, cos not hearing it didn't upset me!!! Doh.

MV - I do hope this won't be our last and I am going to be 39 by the time no1 arrives next year, so see you over there in the TTC forum next year, perhaps the year after!!!!!

tigtag - oh, fingers crossed it isn't too long now!!! And stop lurking!!! lol

jojo - what a bargain at IKEA!! Jealous much!! But not quite ready to rake about for an old cot. Just yet!!!

Tanmu - congratulations on your little princess!!! :T

Cutterby - welcome and keep posting, let us get to know you too!!!

Phew, that's about it I think. SammyGirl, see what you started with these huge posts, we're all at it!!!

Now I can feel bubs, it's kicking me to death!!! OH laughed and just commented that he hopes it's not like him as a youngster as he couldn't sit still (still can't). Great, now he tells me!!!

coops228

Oh emsy, great minds think alike, and scarily our posts are different!!!! Wow, who would have thought it!!! lol

Thanks, it's good to know there is hope.


So if it's possible to come on while breastfeeding then...back to my original question, can I go on the pill straight away?

You can go straight onto the mini pill, the injection, the implant or the coil... The combined pill is not recommended for the early months if you are bf because it can affect the supply... But once it's all established then it's fine to swap over

Gizmodo/Ticklepenny - I too have only increased my band size - twice in fact. But if it makes you feel better if you have kept the same cup size you have grown a little bit, because each band size up is proportionally bigger by a cup size anyway.

Paws I'm so sorry you are having such a worrying time. Lots of love and good vibes heading your way X
