Fingers crossed Charlie! I know your team green but I hope you don't see willy!
oh im glad you like Tewin Kell as i dont really know the area that well. Its easy to get cocooned in St A as it has everything there! If i get the house im after i expect we will give birth in the same hospital! If i dont move i will have to give birth in Watford...urgh had a crap experience with ds1 there.... as welwyn has shut its mat ward where i had ds2. Shame as it was great!
Charlie, i would feel exactly the same! You got a great chance of hearing girl with all that lime you used hun...keep remembering that!
Its funny, when i had backache i was complaining and now im symptomless, im still complaining!
Hi all!
had another day of plumbers and people trying to sort this house out!!! Swim lessons and now I'm shattered!
Charlie, thinking of u for tom! xx so exciting xx
Babymad, hope ur well? I'm ok tired and achy, had to get dh to push me out of bed for the loo at 3am!! lol
Sunset, ds2 took more pics yest, will upload them tom.
Deaks, so excited for u, FX u have the winning bid!!
Lavender, how u doing? Seen ur Gp again?
Pinga, how are u feeling now?
Hi to Kell, Gecon, H&G, indigo, Petal and so sorry if I have missed anyone! Hope ur all well??
I have the midwife tom, will mention this 'clicking noise' read it could be the babies hips????????????? hope not! Feeling ok, everyone I meet tells me how well I look etc... that carrying twins suits me... ?? not so sure, think I have just got on with it better this time than with ds2, I was ALOT worse when pg with him and this time (super sick and horrific PD early on) I have finished earlier at work which has helped! But still have 8wks to go...plenty of time to get worse...hope not!
Off to watch the big fat gypsy weddings..... nite ladies!! FX charlie and enjoy seeing bubs! xx
Deaks Welwyns mat unit was moved to the one here in Stevenage, it's been extended and upgraded and is now a midwife led unit at the lister hospital! I can't wait to give birth there, and when I'm done studying its where I hope I'll be based!
You don't have to go to Watford, you could go to Stevenage if you chose to but I imagine you'd have to let your midwife know its what you wanted. It's literally another 10 mind from Welwyn on the A1 so not too much bother.
Happy Valentines Girls xx
I have never thought about buying a girly changing bag.... Funny isn't it! I just couldn't be doing with all the comments when I had girly bag hanging on the pushchair and out came a baby boy.....!! But as this is my last baby and I am a real baby person I know I have got to make the most of it as it is the last time I will be doing it! So I may opt for girly or defo the cowboys from CK.
Lavender ~ are you ttc this month?
Deaks ~ gorgeous bedroom...love it!
Maybe ~ I hope your little man makes an appearance soon :) A footballing mum has gone into labour today with her third boy, I was very envious......I am counting down the weeks!!
Chocolate ~ great scan pics, I love the third one:)
Inglewood ~ I hope you manage to have a rest tonight x
Pinga ~ How are you doing?
It's 'Wells Next The Sea' - We will probably go for the week-end as its too far to travel for the day. When is good for everyone....July or August? We can meet with partners and kids or just us girls or kids too....what would people prefer??
Kell ~ pleased the pups and mum are doing well. We have got DH's brothers two dogs for half term - the boys love it!
Charlie ~ I am so excited for you tomorrow xx I have very good vibes that you'll be seeing pink! Everything crossed for you xx
Ar i didnt realise they had relocated welwyn! I will definately go to stevenage if we move to Tewin. But if we stay in STA i think its likely i will go for watford as its a quite a bit closer. Saying that i had to wait for my parents to get down from cambs to babysit last time, so this time i could just meet them at stevenage which would actually save time!Quote:

Second day on the diet and I have managed to eat up my calories, I did have to eat empty calories to make it up, but I read on the August thread that it is so important to eat your calories quota to stay healthy.
Here is what I ate today, let me know what you think, I am going to eat this menu for a few days til I get more suggestions.

Happy Valentines day, DP had flowers delivered to the house which really threw me! Nice though :)
Kell glad the puppies are settling hope you get more rest tonight.
Inglewood The next step with Dr's is more bloods, (day 21) We came to the conclusion that my day 16 spotting was the start of a new cycle so I had a 16 day cycle that I didn't ovulate in followed by a 30 day cycle, which I may have ovulated in. I really hope my cycle stays normal. Normal type AF besides on off lower back pain in my ovaries trying to try not to look too much into it though.
Babymad I am TTC in a big way this month I just want to be pregnant really badly now. Especially with my dodgey cycles. Also today a friend of mine who knows I'm swaying has decided that she and her husband want to TTC no2.
Our cycles are in sync and it would be amazing if we could have EDD a few days or even months appart.
So my new plan for this month is no gels which is risky but am on the same acidophilus as Deaks and Inglewood that makes your pH super low. I've been on a strict girl diet for over 4 months now even stuck to it when we went away. I also weigh the same as I did when I was about 13/14!! So hoping that is my strongest sway. I'm throwing timing out of the window and just going to DTD loads between CD 10 to O day probably even over O. But going to use an anthistamine- which one i'm not sure, any help would be great? I'm not on Cranberry Tabs anymore.
Deaks do you mean Just us mum's no Children? Where is Wells if it's not the one in Somerset?
babymad - i have the cath cowboy bag and love it felt the same as you - didnt want a girly bag if it was a boy x i got mine on ebay for £30 secondhand barely used!!! I love love love the cowboy fabric, gorg room deaks x x
Maybe we could do girly meet up then get the kids together come the summer???
Good luck for this month lavender hope its your BFP month and to everyone else trying x x
Deaks - please try not to worry although i think we were all the same i def didnt feel pregnant at first then OMG!!!!
Ok todays the day ladies am shitting myself to say the least.......damn it being 1....why couldt it be 9!!! ARRRGGGGGGGGHHH
halfway today though melon baby :D
Charlie, enjoy your scan! Are you asking about gender? If not, I hope you get a flash of girly bits lol xx
Good luck with your scan today Charlie, got my fx for you x
thanks all chocolate that is what i dream of lol x not planning on getting the sonographer to tell us just write it down - hoping not to read it but its there if i need it x
Massive good luck Charlie!!! She will write down girl, girl, girl!!! x
good luck today charlieispy!! i know you're staying team green but i'm still wearing my pink socks for you and cheering you on from afar! :cheer: i'll be stalking here later for an update! xx
OMG Charlie I think you have a girl in there for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had a reading wit Cara and it was very accurate will post more about that later.
But In her reading to you didn't she say something about a red car in your future then you got your red car!!! And she said girl for you please look at what they write down please, please!
Eeeeeeee I'm excited Charlie you can't write it down and not look! That's torture of all of us lol!
I hope your in there now, baby's legs a kimbo showing you girly bits!!!!
Good luck Charlie fx for you xxxx
P.S Kell you Need to change your Siggy to Due a :DD:!!!
Charlie, hope ur scan has gone well!
Lavender, I never got to use an anti-histamine, used sudafed 1st mth ttc (gave me palpitations), 2nd mth had planned to use Zyrtec (certirizine) as I use that for my hayfever, but missed cut off, so didn't bother taking it ttc in mth 2 and fell pg that mth. Glad ur getting bloods done.
I saw the Midwife today, Twin 1 still head down Heart beat 152bpm, Twin 2 still Breech and HR- 148. My Bp and urine behaving, so far... so all was well. My midwife is lovely and very supportive that this time with the twins I will bottle feed, so that helps! She also said that she had heard the 'clicking' noise I hear is hiccups... not so sure??? Went to sanisbury's got 256 huggies for just over £13!!!!!! BARGAIN!!! and my eyebrows waxed. Been wondering if the school will call as ds2 bless him has a "sore brain" think he's getting a head cold :( gave him calpol b4 school as he didn't want to miss Tennis today! Managed to eat a wispa then 2 apple turnovers...now I feel sicky! Not exactly a nutritious lunch at all, usually have a nice sandwich....but ate 1 then couldn't resist the other...oops! Hid the box from dh!! straight in the bin!! lol
Speak later... xx
Inglewood - glad everything's well, you surely have a room in your house filled with nothing but nappies at this rate :D
Lavender - I used Zyrtec, easy to pick up in Tesco!
Charlie - I hope your scan went well, can't wait to hear from you!
Well done! I meant to say about the sweets, try to get the ones suitable for vegetarians so you're avoiding geletin. I'm not sure wine gums would come in to that category!Quote:

AM BACK OMG i couldnt see lol!! The lady wouldnt write it down for me point blank refused!!!
So with all my abilities to look for sex I did but couldnt see for sure - thought i saw 3 lines a couple of times, but pos one flash of maybe willy.....when you could see the whole baby - no scrotum to be seen but basically i have no idea!!!
will post a pic but there is no gender clues in it!!
awww so glad everything went well charlie!!!! such a shame she wouldnt write it down for you! good you didnt see too much
What a meanie not writing it down Charlie! But everything sounds good for pink to me :) Especially as you thought you saw white lines, that is great news! And the fact that you couldn't see a willy says it all as its very obvious by 20 weeks if there is one ;) How are you feeling? Are you happy that you stayed team green or do you wish that you had asked? Get thinking of pink names Hun xx
oh i wish she would have written it down - i was so bad when i went in i was physically shaking and shivering, my legs shook the whole scan!! I did see some i worry was a willy but would say i saw more of the 3 lines.....but then googling - lots of scans which were boys and they saw 3 lines SIGH i should have bloody found out lol
AND you begin to think about everything - she said do you wantto find out i said i didnt know - she said maybe it would be nice to have a surprise.....then after trying to fix the printer said well if you would be disappointed maybe you shouldnt......DH took this as its a boy! Bollox maybe i will book a private scan lol
Aww, what a shame she wouldn't write it down for you! Stop Googling woman :D Still, the fact that you didn't see a really obvious willy is a good sign! I definitely think you should book a private scan if it's going to drive you nuts for the next 20 weeks!
Glad your scan went well Charlie! I really am useless at my 20 week scans. They need to have a sign saying it's a boy or literally I am looking at the wrong end of the baby.
My hospital appointment today was a shambles. I wasn't booked in so didn't get my growth scan. Waited three hours to see consultant. Asked asked the scan but she as I wasn't overdue there was no point (dispite the fact my placenta was 50% dead by now with ds1). Got a date for induction so I am fed up and upset now. Beginning to wish I wasn't pg. Do not want to be induced. Hope Dave comes in his own time before then but little chance as it's before my due date. I can't say no as it's risking both our lifes but I don't want to be induced again. Sniff...
{hugs} maybe, sorry you're having a rough time x
You analysis everything don't you Charlie!! I still think girl... :) very promising!!
Maybe ~ I hope Dave makes an appearance soon - lots of hugs xx
I have had a very draining day so hoping for an early night. My friend had her baby boy today - her third boy. Saw pics on FB, he is sweetie - I didn't feel excited though - horrible I know!
Charlie, can't you just call your doctor and say you want to know the gender now? Even if you didn't want to know, your doctor should have that info.
Or you could just have more fun and book a private scan! If it's driving you crazy hun I would find out..but obviously your decision...I still stand by my feeling of pink for you! Plus if you didnt' see a real obvious willy, I think it's looking good for a girl....DS1 and 2 were obvious boys once I knew what I was looking for hah!
charlieispy ~ aww so happy your scan went well and that baby is happy & healthy! i cant believe she wouldnt write it down.. i guess they dont dare to though in case they get it wrong. Dont worry about what you thought was a willy.. i thought i saw a winky on all my scans but she's definitely a girl. and stay away from google woman! :P
maybebaby ~ when are you getting induced? how was your last induction? i cant believe you werent booked in for your scan.. your hospital doesnt seem very organised :S
Inglewood ~ aww not long left to go now :) are you excited? :D
Babymad ~ congratulations to your friend! how much did he weigh?
hello to everyone else! *big waves*
sorry ladies been away for a few days and now going away for rest of halfterm, been so busy but missed you all :HH:
feeling sicky still so got to go and lie down now that dh is home.
kell- wonderful news!!
Babymad- hugs to you, still thinking of you
maybebaby- hope they manage to sort themselves out and start to look after you properly, what a joke. So frustrating for you. Praying that dave arrives soon, well and healthy. Hang in there hon.
Charlie- great news about scan, lovely to have healthy baby but soooo annoying she wouldn't write it down for you, what a weirdo, such a simple request....I'm feeling girl for you if that helps!!
love to everyone else, catch up when I get back!
Charlie, sure u will do what u think is best, scan or no scan! :) Sounds promising tho! xx
Sunset, can't wait till tues to get my section date!! eek! my babies birthday!
Indigo, :( sorry to hear ur sicky....
Maybe, when is ur induction date? Try to keep +ve, ur baby will be here just after that! I don't really know much about induction as I was only induced with ds1 and the syntocin was at MAX and I still wouldn't labour/dilate. I only got to 2cm then sectioned as 19hrs had passed and ds1 was distressed with the myconium.
Babymad, hope u get a good nights rest!
Off to get boys ready for bed then watch OBEM, it's about TWINS!!!! xx
My last induction was pretty intense. Had the tampon thing, then the gel. Not much seemed to be happening so I went for a walk around the unit. Got about 20 metres and was doubled over with drilling back ache. Managed to get back to my bed. Beeped the midwife as thought my waters had gone. She went to get the test and then I was sick. She examined me and I was 3cm dilated. Got put in the wheelchair to delivery room bynow I wanted to push. Got to delivery room and I was fully dilated! One hour from my first pain. Spent thresholds pushing him back to back in agony. Then they called in a doctor as I wasn't progressing. Had the drip, episeotomy, vontose and he was born withe cord round his neck. He was resusatated outside the room as soon as he was born. So 4.5 labour in total but blardy painful and scary but to be honest I mentally left the room as after a point I couldn't take it. Much precferred the 48 labour with ds2
Sunset ~ he was 7lb 13oz, I feel massive and ready to pop already and ive got another 15 wks to go...scared this baby is going to be a biffa ;)
Indigo ~ hope you feel better soon (()). Have a lovely time away xx
Inglewood ~ im watching obem too :)
Maybe ~ ive been induced twice and both times were very different experiences so stay focused for a positive experience, he may surprise you and come early :)
Zanacal ~ forgot to say our timing was the same as yours, did u dtd more than once?
everyone is offering to pay for me to have a gender scan lol x i am a wreck x i feel so stupid and so stressed all at once
No, just the once. I don't believe timing sways at all but I wanted to make sure we DTD on the third of DH's 'releases' in a 24 hour period and he released twice a day for 10 days prior to that.Quote:
