Think we might just get some cheap budget flights to Italy and bum around for a couple of weeks. It's OH favourite country (he thinks he's secretly Italian and it's where we had our first holiday together). It's not terribly exotic though but I think with me being the only earner at the moment it's the furthest we can get without bankrupting ourselves! We quite fancy Florence, Siena, Naples and Capri... Now to organise the bug ger...

Sounds good. We've just booked rome for April. Any tips gratefully received!

Have had a v lazy morning in my pjs, a catch up with the mother and then I got all excited to see my first lot of opks had arrived in the post! Looking forward to af disappearing so I can have a go at fathoming out my cycle. Although enjoying the wine and chocs zone this weekend.

Hugs to everyone feeling a bit carpy.

fannyanna don't let it get you down. Chin up, you can do it.

Off to a christening in mrsjl's family tomorrow. Cue lots of "so, when are you having kids??" And lots of looking at me funny to see if I am pregnant. Nope, that is a food baby thank you very much!

Always lurking. Tonight we are checking out potential 'recovery' holiday options! thinking about a Caribbean cruise. I always think cruises are for old people.... but maybe I can justify it as a sick person too!

We had a cruise for our honeymoon when I was about 18-20 weeks pregnant and we chose it because we'd get to see lots of places etc with less lugging big heavy bags about. I think P&O and Thomson are supposed to be good. We went with NCL and wouldn't recommend them as there wasn't a great deal to do on board that you didn't have to pay extra for, but others are much better I think.

why cant she be bridesmaid if the wedding isnt for 11 months as she will have had the baby by then?

Depending on how pg she is now baby will anything up to five months old. That's very little still, and totally dependent on milk for food, so if mum breastfeeds she could be doing feeds every two hours, more if it is hot. Bridesmaid dresses aren't known for breastfeeding access, plus baby may need mum lots which may not be convenient if mum has to be in church and photos. Babies are portable for sure but they do tend to want mum a lot. Plus mum is likely to be knackered!

Many reasons to not want to be a bridesmaid IMO.

I went to Rome last April. Make sure you book tickets to the Collosseum before you go so you avoid the massive queues!

And same for the Vatican musuem. We queued for about 3 hours to get in there....!

Just make sure you book them through the official website and not one that adds a massive fee on - if you go on tripadvisor and ask someone theyll point you in the right direction!

True those are good reasons especially the dress one as they often are very tight/form fitting, but you would think as sister of the bride she would be in all the photos etc anyway? And if shes just had a baby Im sure people wouldnt mind if she wasnt out on the hen night or stuff like that!

Hi everyone, haven't read back far as on my phone, but hope everyone's ok - not been on for a while...

Hubby has decided he wants to get his SA done privately - god knows why, as we can't really afford it, maybe he thinks you get "special" treatment privately, but to be honest I'm just glad he's actually going to get it done. Just need to work out how to actually book him an appointment with a place!

I'm now an auntie for the 3rd time, as hubbys brother and wife has literally just had their baby (within last 1/2 hour!) I'm over the moon for them, but feel bad for myself as we were ttc when they announced their pregnancy and now they have an actual baby and we are still ttc!

Oh ladies I've been horrible inside my own head

I've felt all along that my sister got pregnant accidentally on purpose as all her friends were having babies and tonight she's come here crying to mum as my niece has been a bit of a terror at a party. How exactly I don't know as she was perfectly pleasant here whilst sister had a nap.

And part of me, a big part of me, thought 'hah, see it's not all cuteness and attention and pretty dresses'

I am an awful awful person. Logical brain does feel ashamed and has sympathy for how hard it must be to raise a baby alone.

I've always been quite bitter that my first pregnancy would have been the first grandchild and I feel irrationally like she stole that from me. It's so hard seeing how much my parents adore niece and not knowing if I'm ever guna give them a grandchild and I don't think anybody is bothered about my struggle cos they have her a little lowe isn't important.
Honestly, I know everyone else hates the pressure but I would for just one person to be excited at the thought of my children

TL I actually understand where you're coming from and am hoping I produce the first grandchild on DH's side because while my family is hassling me to have a baby it'll be grandchild 15 or something on my side so nothing really special and seeing how special grandchild no 1 was and still is to my parents and I'd like that for my baby.

Hello all. I hope it's ok to join? I've had a little one (15 now!) then lost one that I didn't know I was carrying at about 11 weeks then a healthy one (now 8) then started trying 7 years ago. After about 3 yrs of trying, I became obsessed with conceiving but nothing worked. A while later I came to the horrible conclusion that something was wrong with me and we were never going to have number 3. Carried on as we were (no protection) and nothing happened. Figure the next time there was a baby in the house, it would be our grandchild. Last Oct I was late so took a test and amazingly found out we were pregnant. To say we were ecstatic would be an understatement. Few weeks later we had scan and saw his little heart beating - amazing! Having tried 6-7yrs for this baby, I didn't take a minute for granted. Then after a bleed I found out its heart had stopped. I had baby on 9th December and buried Angel just before Xmas. I'm now back to obsessed with getting pregnant. I'm jealous of anyone pregnant or with a baby. I don't want to 'replace' Angel but I feel empty like a part of me is missing. I'm awaiting af in a day or two and I know when it comes it will make me upset. Is anyone else like me? Starting to think I'm not normal!

Angelmommy

Sorry I should've said: jealous of anyone pregnant - apart from those I know have lost one/desperately wanted one - for those I'm very happy and helps me think there's hope for me. Those that take it for granted, I get jealous of.
