Helloooooo! Where is everyone?

Ambers- OMG, I just read your last post! Are busy baking a little bun?? How exciting!! I don't know what FB is? (maybe I'm missing the obvious, but please explain it to me) As to making a book, I think it would be a great idea! I'm in!! Even if no one is interested in publishing it, I 'd love to have it just as a keepsake!!

Emma- welcome and good luck with getting pregnant quickly. One tip I can give is that once your cycle gets regular, you could try pinpointing your ovulation so that you for sure do the babydance at the right time! You can use the ovulation predictor sticks or the temperature method. I did both. I was a POAS (pee on a stick) adict so I loved the ovulation predictor sticks!!

Cheryle...hi lovely, me pregnant again...never not till the fat baby sings at 12 weeks anyway

I pannicked after writing the post about the book, thinking maybe I should have posted it privately. Anyway if I get all your agreements then I will start to think of how to do this, obviously I will run everything past you girls before any decisions are made.

FB...facebook?

Welcome Emma, sorry I didn't respond earlier, having a baby brain to tend to forget what happened 5 minutes ago lol.

[Cheryle]

Ambers- how long yet till the fat baby sings at 12 weeks so I can congratulate you!? I am on Facebook. I wanted to send you a message with my facebook name but I couldn't?? I don't really want to write it here on the open forum.

[Amberdite]

Cheryle - I am trying to send you a message via PM but for some reasons I can't do it...however ODN sent me a PM so maybe we can do it via her (btw she thought it was a great idea too)... I will keep trying as it could just be a glinch in the system

[Cheryle]

Ambers- I tried putting you on my friends list to see if I could PM you then. But it still didn't work. I keep getting the notification that I am not authorised to send private messages.

So my question to anyone who knows: How do I get authorisation to be able to send PMs???????

[Amberdite]

Cheryle - I've been trying to PM you and failing miserably! I can PM myself lol...but thats no help

Hi girls!!

[emmad]

hi everyone.

sorry i went AWOL but so much has happened!

where do i start? well, i had a boy called Ben Joseph on 18th sept. he was 5 weeks early, weighing 4lbs. had c section & he was in breech position. he is so gorgeous its unreal! was in my local hospital for a week, (plus 3 days before i had him) then had to go to bristol hospital for 2 weeks so they could do tests on him! its been very stressful and upsetting but he's happy at home.

he hadn't grown much and was lack of amniotic fluid around him, so he was floppy when he came out. has physio every day to build up his muscles. they did blood tests, x rays, ultrasound scans and an MRI scan on his brain. they wanted to check for other reasons why he is floppy, eg, muscle disease.

i was so homesick and wanted to bring him home. my hubby has been my rock through it all. don't know what i would've done without him. gone insane i think!

anyway, we are home and happy. ben is an angel. ther's more results etc to be done but he's getting stronger every day.

i am glad all you girls are ok

speak soon xxxx

[natalie80]

im so happy for you im glad little ben is ok! you will have to get a few picks on here when you get chance!!

Ive got 6 weeks to go now and im rock bottom at the mo, feeling very low and tierd!
worrying about everything so thats stressing me out!
my hubby as got to work in ireland for 2 weeks not long before im due, so thats made me even more crazy cuz i dont want him to miss the birth!

oh well enough of me going on!

you look after yourself hun! and i hope ben gets stronger and stronger every day
take care
Nat xxxx

[Cheryle]

congratulations Emmad!! That must have been scary to have him come so early! I'm glad he's home now and hopefully they'll figure out why he's floppy. I'm glad he's getting stronger every day! Please keep us updated!

[OffDutyNurse]

Woo hoo!!!! Congrats Emmad

That's great news!!! Really hope that everything goes well from now, and Ben is OK. Love the name btw! Well done you. Hope you're not too sore!!!


So how are all you other girlies? Cheryle...came up with a brainwave and have PM'd your blog guestbook! All is going well here...will try to post some more pics soon! Hayden is now 12 weeks, and still breastfed! Am just noticing new little things every day, he started batting his playmat arch toys a couple of weeks ago....whatta genius!!! Can't believe how quick time is going! Am taking him to see a Physio on Thursday, for Cranial-Sacral therapy...have noticed that his head is recently quite mishapen, and sometimes he just screams for no apparent reason, but sounds like he is in pain. It is real holistic therapy, and really effective for babies who have had traumatic births! Have only heard good things about it...has anyone else experienced this? I would be interested to hear your comments!

Nat, my friend came round for dinner the other day and she is 34weeks pregnant too...really uncomfortable, and just feeling nervous excitement about the baby coming. I miss my bump so much it hurts!!! She hates being pregnant (she is a midwife), and I said I would gladly go through the rest of her pregnancy and labour for her if I could!

Uh-Oh.....gurgling coming from the nursery...his nibbs is awake....will write later! Hope you are all good xxxxx

Hi Everybody!

Sorry haven't been on! Been so busy decorating my flat! Nearly there now, move in there in a week!

I have had the most wierd feelings this week, really sore boobs, sickness and I want to eat everything!! Hopefully it's signs of pregnancy but not looking too much into it! Just concentrating on moving at the moment.

I've worked out my periods and I should have one on the 22nd Nov, so I can find out then!! Will let you know!!

What's everyone been up to? I must say you are all very welcoming girls and I am very pleased to be sharing this all with you.

Em xx

Hi EmmaB...how are you doing hon? Do you have long cycles, or have you not ov'd yet? You should ov about 2 weeks before you have your period, so your symptoms may be a sign of ovulation...get at it hon...STAT!!!

Sending you loads of babydust

How are all you other girlies? Come on....need some updates!

[natalie80]

Hi girls!!!

well coming upto 5 week countdown now!
put the cot up and it looks so cute, ive packed my hospital bag ready so its just the waiting now!

Im still feeling low, depressed at times, im a worrier so lots a things stress me out and i know its not good for me or the baby, but it cant be helped at the mo

my hubby as a really good job, but the weirdist thing is since i was around 2 months pregnant, the work as gone down hill, this time last year we was struggling with money and that and now its getting like that again and im even more worried this time around cuz of the baby coming!

my hubby keeps telling me everything is going to be alright, but i no its not, im just sick of struggling, so i cry myself to sleep sometimes at night cuz i have so much going on in my head, and all i really want to do is relax and try to enjoy the last few weeks of being pregnant! i wish the baby didnt have to come out sometimes at least it will be safer in there!!

i am sorry for going on just needed someone to talk to, if i tell my mum she will just worry and i cant deal with that too!
hopefully things will get better i pray they do

Anyway hope everyone is ok and i hope to hear from you all soon!
Nat xx
