    Ooops wondered why there had been no recent posts. Appears that I did't notice a new thread. ;)

    Hope everyone is doing ok. Hi LillyMay hope you are doing ok. Can't remember if I congratulated you or not. I did in my head :rotfl:

    EDD is 06/10/2013 so about 9 weeks at the moment, had 2 scans already and so far things seem to be going ok. I have gallstones so have been admitted to hospital 5 times already. No surgeon will touch me so trying to work out how to avoid returning to work. Can't return and then go off sick, apparently there is also a risk of miscarriage with gallstones due to infection so trying to keep calm. I am consultant lead anyway and next scan is 25/03 when I will be just over 12 weeks. Waiting for my booking appointment but then my midwife knows all my history already so no need to rush.

  • congratulations lilmay and repetesir. Wishing you both a lovely smooth 9 months.

    nikki sorry to hear you feel so bad, hope it passes at the magic 12/14 week mark,

    hopelass, you are pregnant and it is real!

    pigpen that's a lovely picture, how do you feel about telling OH now?

    lovely pram neneromanova

    bella hope work gets better for you

    AFM starting to realise why a lot of women don't realise they are preggers until 3/4 months. I just feel a bit under the weather and teary at times. I'm surprised I'm not bursting into tears at times!

    Congratulations on your lovely scan pigpen :-) maybe you could give OH a picture, it might be a bit more real for him then?

    Good to see you here lily :-)

    I've got 'pregnancy nose' today, absolutely convinced that something in my house smells weird so instead of doing any work I have cleaned EVERYTHING!!! I can still smell it though!

    I'm hoping to get 'nesting' soon, the house is a tip!

    Pigpen, maybe he just needs time to digest the news?

    I had exactly the same, every time I walked into my house I was convinced there was a foul smell somewhere.


    Turns out there actually was, made DH pull the fridge out and one of my felines had half killed a mouse which must have dragged itself under the fridge and died. Most unpleasant!


    Pigpen glad your scan went well, hope your hubby comes round soon!

    Just out of interest does anybody have experiences with elective c sections?

    I've had an emergency section but after a less than ideal VBac have been advised to have a section.


    Do you still feel like you've been hit by a bus afterwards?

    No personal experience but my SIL had a planned c section 3 days after I had a natural (well forceps delivery with the threat of an emergency section) delivery. She was up and about quicker than I was. It was her 3rd though so not sure if she was just used to it.

    I swear we visited her the day after my nephew was born and she was sitting up crossed legged on her bed telling the nurse she was going home. I still felt like I'd been hit by a bus!!
