KHTW thanks! I know it's going to drag until my scan now though (5 days)

5 days?! I have to wait 27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps. I bet DD is loving the fact that she gets to hang out with mummy instead x

Snow here to and it's still going! Crazy wind.
Dd keeps having screaming fits, and nothing we do calms her down I have no idea what's wrong with her. Once she's stopped she's happy. Think it's her teeth, so I have a massive headache.

Ohh hun you're prob right about teething. We used dentinox teething powder for dd cause nothing else worked. She used to get a fever every time too. :/ Hugs I think you're bloody superwoman to do teething and pregnancy together hope it doesn't last long for her! Xx

Ahhh sorry hopefully Christmas craziness makes that fly in for you!! I'm so nervous for it though, thinking the worst now, over analysing if my symptoms have changed etc you know how it is

Haha she didn't even get up until 10.30 I knew she'd be wrecked from last night. I'm surprised how had I feel about it but it's done now xx

had my booking in appointment today with the midwife which went well. got my 12 scan date 4.1.18. I mentioned to the midwife about me bleeding when having sex and shes told me to refrain till my 12 week scan incase the placenta is low which they'll be able to see from the scan.

ive also got a scan tonight which I booked privately. I'm so scared because of my previous missed miscarriage.

Oh bless you. Hopefully your fear will turn to excitement in a few hours. Don't forget to pop your scan pick up.

I'm sure all will be okay but a few weeks no sex will fly by.

Hope everything went ok flowerbomb? x

KHTW I see you're in Scotland. I am too but no snow here, bright bright sunshine. I wish we did have some snow, might make me feel a bit better.

JemRose, I'm pleased that your talk went well and hopefully he will wake up and be more understanding from now on. Just know, you can always talk to us.

I am having an absolutely miserable day. I was up at 40 am with bad nausea, was sick at about 50 am then again at 80. I'm exhausted and fed up. My nausea had been better in the last couple of days and I thought I had perhaps turned a corner. It's really frustrating not really knowing what week I'm in as I feel counting down the time until trimester 1 is over makes it a little easier.
I phoned my mum early in the morning and cried on the phone because she lives abroad and can't just pop round and see me, which is what I would really love right now.
My OH is away for the weekend, which is OK actually. The poor guy has been doing absolutely everything and wracking his brain to try and think of things to make me feel better. He keeps saying, 'I'll do anything, ANYTHING you want!'
Bless him.

I braved some plain sourdough bread and that went down OK, going to try some soup next and hope it stays down and that I start to feel a little less miserable.

I am really sorry you are feeling so rubbish, nausea and tiredness in Tri 1 are the worsts! Plain food always worked with me; crackers, crisps, toast etc.
I know what you mean about your mum living abroad, mine also lives in another country and it would anything to have her closer, especially now x

 

[JenKat]

KHTW You're so right. I always miss her but somehow when I'm feeling ill it's worst. And I know how excited she is about the pregnancy, she kept saying on the phone she wishes she could just pop round and look after me. Difficult isn't it?
If you don't mind me asking, and of course this is a personal question so feel free to not answer if you don't want to, but I see you already have a little one. What do you find are good ways of maintaining contact with grandparents who live abroad? How do you make them more of their every day life? This is something I worry about as I want my kid to really know my parents.

We are on Skype everyday, even if only for 5min. DD knows that Granny is calling and she is always excited to see her on the screen. Fair enough, she says hi and tells her what she's up to and then she usually runs away and we don't see her again but it definitely helps maintain a relationship. And of course we try to visit at least 2 a year and my mum will do the same x

 

[JenKat]

That sounds good. At the moment I Skype my parents about once a week, but I like the idea of my kids being able to skype them any time. My grandmother lived abroad when I was little, obviously pre-Skype and everything. And I saw her at most twice a year but we had the closest relationship a grandmother and granddaughter can have. I loved her so much and have wonderful memories of her. So I am hoping it will be possible. Thanks for sharing!

I'm having a break down. It's not her teeth. She had really bad reflux, and used to projectile vomit like literally went across the room, she's throwing up acid again. I did put her on special reflux milk was amazing, and now it's not working anymore, she doesn't wanna eat and will scream even if I put the bottle in her mouth. Idk what to do with her. Gavuscon made her more sick. I thought at 4 months they grew outta it not got worse. I'm gonna try her with them Ella kitchen things and hope it keeps it down x

Poor baby, she must be so uncomfortable. I would call your health visitor. There is something else than gaviscon, don't remember the name but apparently works much better x

Aw no! I'd agree with KH and call health visitor. Even if it's to try a different prescription. I don't have helpful advice I'm sorry. Dd had reflux but it settled by 3 months so I didn't have to wean her until 6 months. Is she showing signs for weaning? Hang in there hun xx

 

[PeanutButter]

OK we both feel better, we had a bath and she's had a bottle, hubby's taking me for a meal cos he got a promotion and a pay rise and a bonus so that's cheered me up. Will take her to gps on Monday. Gonna try not to give her the food till the 15th. Feel bad for being stressed it's not her fault

Good for OH enjoy yourselves! Glad she's settled a bit. It's awful when they're so young and can't tell you what's up xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Iknp I keep telling everyone I can't wait for her to talk so she can tell me what's up, they say I'll miss it, ha! No.
God I do miss wine on a Friday night. Heh.
Anyone up to anything on the weekend? X

 

[KHTW]

Great news re promotion and pay rise!! Enjoy dinner, hopefully you can relax a bit. It gets easier when they are bigger but then you face other problems like back chat lol

We are having secret santa for DD and her little friends tomorrow at our house, hubby is dressing as santa! This should be fun, 6 under 3 running wild x

 

[Shanivy]

Ohh the attitude and back chat I get. 3 going on 13 lol. Definitely easier when they're sick though. At least you can ask them.

Currently getting five mins peace while OH & DD builds puzzles she bought last night at the school fair. Yay me lol.

Cute idea for the little ones. You're one brave woman! I'll be sparing a thought for you tomorrow surrounded by all those hyper kiddies haha xx

Edit: Nope! I have my Xmas cleaning to do including DDs room and then I'm doing nothing else since working on Sunday night. Have a better weekend than me everyone haha. Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Awh khtw, sounds lovely, hectic but lovely aha.

Boo for having to work on Sunday! Least you're having a little break now I have to clean the house to, having the in laws come over for party food and drinks, bought some non alcoholic wine, yay. I couldny drink last Xmas either lol. I need to plan babies better xD

 

[JenKat]

Hey PB that's great about the promotion! And that your little one has managed to settle a bit, poor wee thing.

KHTW That sounds lovely and I am full of admiration that you have the energy for that!

I have serious weekend plans of doing as little as possible. The nausea is real right now and my OH is away so my plans currently extend as far as watching season 2 of The Crown

 

[Shanivy]

PB My 2nd Christmas alcohol free because being pregnant lol. And new years...And my birthday is boxing day haha. Oh well. I'm not a big drinker since Ive had DD, always on mummy duties. But nice to have wine on Christmas dinner though. :/ Don't think you can ever plan babies well hahah

I know I hate Sunday nights working. It makes the week feel sooo long. But my job is quite nice now that xmas is coming. I'm at my actual placement with LD 24/7 care though and we do lots of nice things in Decmeber like xmas baking, music etc and its lovely actually if I wasn't so tired. Its the other place that's a ball ache at the min. xx


JenKat the nausea is the worst! Id rather be sick and get it over with :/ How far on are you? xx


Hope flowerbomb is okay. I seen she had a scan last night. Hopefully shes just busy being social!!
