Doing this from my phone so very brief. Just had an email throught from toysrus saying 20%off for 3 days only. Its one of those download the voucher things and can be used online or instore. I know a lot of people were looking out for one in order to buy cots etc so hopefully it will be useful.

Been having stomach cramps most of the night - was hoping it was a dicky tummy but nothing yet - so going to phone the day unit for advice.

Hi all,

Gosh this maternity leave lark is exhausting! I've been so busy. It's ridiculous! I thought I'd be able to get on here everyday to chat but there has just been no time at all.

Big congrats to Fluffnutter and Rebekah. Your babies are absolutely stunning!

Anyway gotta go - am babysitting my niece later today and want to run the hoover and mop around first.

Labour vibes to those who want them.

Hugs to all.

morning all, how are you all?

Welcome here mintedby30 and morocha and congrats.

minted I hope the sickness goes for you. I still have eeky taste in my mouth and heaving at times and i am 17 weeks. still finding DH's deodarants really annoying and perfume too.

Morocha I also had the combined nuchal translucency test and blood test, and i am surprised it depends on the hospital and i am 33.

Pleased to hear your echo went well katy.

Twinklie - Lovely to hear your news about moving to be with your hubby and doogie. You guys must have missed each other so so much. so exciting and you will have each othe rmore. yay! laughed at the bit where you said that is tha action he will be getting (rubbing your legs). lol

I have had no action at all since getting the BFP and at times i really want and at times, the tiredness just makes me go nah! he seems ok, and i hope DH is not using other means. . occassionally i get 'attacked' in the middle of the night but no action, just get touched up. haha.. hmm do miss it but i am scared too and maybe he is?

Try and make it a bit more of a big deal if you are looking for some good action ladies... E.G take a shower together and wash your OH and then light candles and have them round the bedroom etc.
We are usually minimum of 3 times per week people but i'm tired and so is he so it's becoming more of a once a week thing so I find making it all a bit more 'romantic' makes it more satisfying iyswim?? and then also it lasts longer because of the leading up to it in shower...but then I quite like the whole washing and drying and looking after my man thing! lol


I'm not silly enough to think he hasn't been making up for the lack in activity by himself though lol... I think he has been dangering while i'm in when he knows i'm not up for it... in fact I know he has...asked him the other day and he just laughed and grinned!

Rups, DH and I haven't dtd since I got my bfp in January! :eek: We both really want to but I know that I would just freak if I saw blood and it's just not worth the stress for me. I know that it won't hurt the baby but I just don't think I could deal with the memories that will be thrown up if I see blood IYSWIM. Luckily DH I'd very understanding and we do everything but dtd so I keep him entertained

I think you're best to talk to your DH about how you both feel about it and take it from there.

i know what you mean emsbet. i think i would be the same as last time when i had the mc i saw blood after s-x so i freaked out.

dizsie i do want it at times, but even the thought of me sorting myself out ie shaving etc, i am so tired that i cant be asked. not good i know esp i used to beg him all the time andnow i am hppy not to most of the times. hehe.. i do think about it and when i have the urge we are both at work and by the time we get back i am back to being tired. weirdly last night i suggested we make some time and he said yes but nothing ever happens. lol. now we have his brother staying here. lol

Agh, see, I'm the other way - I'm knackered most of the time but I know I'll enjoy it once I get going, so on the basis that we're not going to spin it out (and I'll get some sleep soonish), I'd rather we just did it! We were a pretty much every day or every other day couple and now we're probably down to two or three times a week, but that's mainly because I'm going to bed before DH as I can't keep my eyes open!

I did notice last time that my belly was starting to get in the way a bit, and DH said that he could 'feel' it for the first time. Spooning doesn't seem to work as it stretches my stomach muscles too much, and I'm very lazy (so a little averse to girl on top)... any other suggestions?!

I know that DH occasionally 'takes care of himself'. I don't mind, it's me that's not up for it, not him - I'd rather he was comfortable and not frustrated. I walked in on him in the bathroom a couple of weeks ago, it made me giggle because he looked so guilty!

ETA: I don't associate it with the MC - I seem to be very pragmatic and if anything I've lightened up a bit because of them. I did everything 'right' and to the letter first time around, and it still went wrong, so I strongly believe that if it's not meant to be then it's not meant to be - nothing you can do will change that, and equally, sticky beans are hard to shift!

We tried it last week to get the bubba out, but wasnt that great as bump just got in the way!! In the end we spent more time giggling than any serious action... saying that it was still good fun!!

Well after much deliberating, i've taken the plunge and ordered 5 tot bots easyfit nappies to try on bubba. This company have the set of 5 on for a good price at the moment http://www.cleangreennappy.co.uk[FONT=&quot]

Sounds to me like you need to get on all fours to be comfortable lol :rotfl:...sorry to be crude but it works! We were an everyday couple but now (since Jan) he works 11 hour shift and has an hour travelling each way so leaves at 5.30am and gets home at 6.30pm 6 days a week :eek: he is too tired to do it on a 'school night' so we reserve it mostly for Fr/Sat/sun nights...but with me tired too... it it mostly only sat nights I miss it but I appreciate sometimes it has to slow down for a while and when it happens it is soooo good lol!

We still are very much intimate e.g sit on sofa cuddled up, have to sleep cuddled up, have to touch alot e.g when he is driving I have my hand on his knee or if we are sitting on sofa have to have feet up on each other or I sit and chat to him while he is in the bath etc and wash his hair and he strokes bump when I am in bath. Add to that we send crude texts to each other and talk dirty on the phone when nobody else is around lol :rotfl:

I think if we didn't do the above I would be worried but at least I know it isn't an attraction thing...just a genuine tiredness...

All I know is that after typing all of this...I'm gonna try and stay alert/awake enough to jump him when he gets home tonight lol :eek:

I totally understand this...I need to de-fuzz and put it off last night but I will have to do it tonight!! I need to schedule one night a week for it I think!!! Is it just me or is it growing 3 x faster right now???
