Due in September

Thank you, I will look online. I know most are against it but as I just wanted it for OH to feel bit more included... He would like it he says. I would never use for worry if baby was okay. Xxx

They are amazing to let your oh feel more included and it is such a magical sound. Just looked on Ebay, and they ana wiz one looks exactly the same so must be different brand names that's all.

Aww Kanga that is really tough, I can’t imagine going through all that with your husband still pretty against the whole thing. You need to just do whatever you need to to get through it so if he is upset about you getting signed off work then that’s his issue and not yours x

I'm so tired. Got woken up at 0300 but hubby snoring, and then DD started grumbling on and off. I can already tell today is going to be a difficult day. I would take a late start, but today is the day grandma looks after DD and she's coming to mine early. Will look suspicious if I'm still in bed. Damn!

@kanga86 - Sorry you are having a tough time with your husband. I hope he comes around very soon. The last thing you need is him not supporting you through this, especially when you feel so rough. Big hugs to you

I have also been thinking about getting a doppler but everyone tells you to stay away from them. Are they easy to use? How do you know when you actually find the baby's heartbeat and not your own? xx

 

[TTC no2]

It's much easier if u get one with heart rate display. U will hear wooshing noise from placenta.ull hear ur own at times which is much slower than baby. To me the babies always sound like a galloping horse and or moving train and it goes so fast.

 

[TTC no2]

U could youtube some videos and ull hear the difference

My son came and woke me up this morning too to try and get me into his bed. But I've just got him sleeping without me (we co slept) so I put him back and was thinking I'm not going to start that again. Thank god when I check on him again he was sleeping. But took me while to get back
Tell her u were up all night and need a power nap

Well I’ll join you in all in ‘having one of those days’. Was supposed to be meeting a close friend and her two boys today at a museum. So rounded my 3 up and somehow got us all ready and out the door in the car and on the way. Littlest one had woken up with a snotty nose but didn’t think anything of it. Decided to stop at a Greggs to get our lunch and feed my new craving. Stopped the car (35 Minutes from home at this point) and littlest one coughed and then threw up all over himself. So that was the end of our day, his car seat was covered in sick so wasn’t like I could even just change him!

 

[AmyThomas]

Oh no Rose. Hope it's just a 24hr thing, and hopefully the others don't get it. And I don't envy you having to clean the carseat.

OMG, pickled onion monster munch sound so good. I want some now. I'm so hungry at the moment. Waiting for DD to go to bed so I can get dinner. Having lazy night of leftovers and hopefully an early night.

My stomach looked so bloated and full this afternoon. Was a real effort to hold it in at work. Fortunately I've been cold at my desk so can use that as an excuse to cover my tummy with a scarf. Not sure how I'm going to manage it the next 5 weeks. Fortunately it's jumper weather

Oh no Rose how has he been since?

 

[Rose83]

Oh no Rose how has he been since?

well he seemed fine apart from the snotty nose the rest of the day but as soon as he went to bed his cough started up again and after only 2 hours of being asleep he started crying in his sleep, I went up to him and he threw up over me! It was definitely just swallowing snot that was doing it though. He has been fine today fortunately.

Mouse stink update: the odour bags have worked! The room is now useable and I have been burning a candle in there to mask any undertones of dead rodent while I work in there.

 

[AmyThomas]

Oh no, sound pretty grim, but at least he seems better now. Hopefully there's no repeat performance tonight. I find it amazing how my DD always managed to get sick on me and not hubby. Fortunately she's not been sick much but I always get it. Over my clothes, in my hair, etc. I'm not sure if its the maternal instinct kicking in so I rush to her first, whether she just automatically seeks mum when she's ill, or whether my husband's smarter and hangs back a bit

After having a few terrible night's sleep I decided to get my massive maternity pillow out last night, and slept like a baby. It felt a bit early to be using it, but I was so uncomfortable sleeping on my side and kept waking up, so went for it. It's amazing. And hubby got up with DD and did the nursery run so I got a full 9hrs sleep. Felt so good.

How's everyone else doing? Pleased the rodent smells going Rose. x

 

[TTC no2]

I was so tired lastnight I got a good nights sleep thank god. Just wish we didnt have to get up for school or work. So looking forward to kids being off for mid term next week . We will have a few lazy mornings.

Felt bit nauseous earlier. But it has passed. Cant wait till I can go for lunch. Need food .

Still no sign off my letter for my scan next week.. least I know what time it's at. Only thing I wont have filled some off the forms they send us beforehand.

 

[Rose83]

How is everyone doing? I’m 10 weeks today and it feels like the longest 10 weeks ever however does mean I’m 25% of the way there.
Did anyone else get to 10 weeks and suddenly get super grumpy? I feel like my husband is being grumpy and mean but he claims it’s me, which is kind of how PMT goes in my house. I feel a bit tearful and he is just annoying the shit out of me I was trying to cope with 3 screaming excited kids this morning and he finally got up and went straight on the phone but came down to where they were and started shouting at us all to be quite because he was on the phone. Which really annoyed me because he could have gone literally anywhere else to have this conversation!
I’ve now got to go off to a birthday party with 30 screaming children when all I want is a nap so I feel like I’m doomed to get grumpier!

Hello Ladies,

I would love to join this thread! I am currently 8 weeks + 1 with my 2nd baby (I have an almost 2 year old boy). Feeling nervous and scared to get too excited as I suffered a miscarriage in September. Just can't wait to make it to the 12 week scan and see that everything is ok! I am having all the symptoms, nausea, EXHAUSTION! Literally struggle to stay awake past 8pm (I am doing well tonight lol!)
Look forward to chatting to you all throughout our pregnancy journey!

 

[AmyThomas]

Hi Victoria. I'm the same, completely exhausted but then waking up all the time. This morning was supposed to be my morning to have a lie in while hubby got up with DD, and I woke up at 0600. Typical. Hoping i might get a nap later. Got a lazy day today due to the weather.

I'm 7+6 today and been feeling a bit odd. Been pretty nauseous, but rather than being sick I've had a bit of an upset stomach. Also had some weird pressure in my stomach. It's not painful, but uncomfortable. I can't really explain it. Almost like I can already feel things stretching and my insides moving around. Silly I know, as it's so early. Also been waking up with a slight headache and a really dry mouth. So annoying when it's not alcohol related.

Can't believe I have 4 more weeks until my scan. I keep wondering about getting a private one, but then realise that I don't really have the free time to fit one in for them anyway.

 

[JennyS85]

Hope your day improved @Rose83! I’m doing ok, just entering the “beige food zone” where only crisps, bread etc will be the job. Hope it doesn’t last too long or I’ll be the size of a house by 12 weeks!

Welcome @VictoriaNi! I’m also pregnant after miscarriage so totally get your nerves and anxiety! Time is going so slowly, I’m not even 8 weeks yet! X
