aw that's wonderful news!!!! :HH: enjoy the little kicks :)

Hey everyone, congratulations lmw :-). Babymad that's an amzing feeling, I really miss that! Well I'm about 4dpo just about and I'm sure one breast leaked a bit of milk?? I stopped bfeeding about 2 months ago, my breasts are just looking for any excuse to start producing milk again, just a whiff of possible pregnancy and they are off ha ha! Hope everyone sleeps well x

Yuk, never going swimming there again! It'l go eventually as guttate psoriasis doesnt hang around longer than a few months. :)

Goodness me, just shows u never know what can be picked up at the pool! FX it clears soon that's awful.

Mine was from Mia-angel. Go onto ebay and type in Baby girl spell, Mia's will come up and u can read all about it. x

Babymad, sorry to hear ur not sleeping :( esp after saying the nausea was a bit better, always something waiting to take over isn't there!! Lovely u felt the baby kick, so reassuring!! I get firmer kicks these days from both sides, so weird! babies lying like Yin and Yang!! Are u waiting till 20wk scan to find out gender? As ur 16wks now!! wow!

Lavender, lovely news about the new baby, but must be tough for ur Dp, would be strange to have kids older than ur own brother, but suppose it happens alot these days. What do ur boys make of the baby?

Chocolate, I'm waiting for the milk floods!!! Around 20wks+ I start leaking milk and wake up soaking wet!! Breast pads on the ready!!!

Think DH's twin sister has taken the huff we didn't tell her yest, not replying to our texts. She even said her wee girl (who is 7) was so upset Dh said no-one was to know yet, mmmm....not sure she really was? MY SIL told everyone she was having a girl after her boy, wasn't a big deal for her like it is for me!!

let her take the huff inglewood. this is your miracle and dont let anybody spoil that!! She may secretly be gutted that 'your' the one having twins and having girls too. You know what ppl can be like. they like to see if you fail at everything! chin up hun!!! xxx

chocloate i never breastfed with ds2 but if i squeeze either nipples i get milk loss. i know its so strange as you would think it would have dried up seen as though he's 3 and half but i told my mam and she said that i was just like her. im the baby of the family and she said allthough im 24 yrs old she can still express a little milk! lol i had a niggly feel before getting a bfp this time round as my boobs have been super tender and feel lumpy and heavy! fx you get a BFP!

Well good morning! I think I've caught up! Altho I'm not sure how much I took in after reading 16 pages lol!
So excuse me if u get names and events mixed up!

Lmw- huge congratulations on your bfp!! Happy and healthy pregnancy!

Inglewood- I'm still so pleased for you, how annoying of your sil, what's it got to do with her anyway!

Baby mad- happy belated birthday to your ds and so sorry for the loss of oh's mum, hope he is coping ok!

Sunset how's your bp now?

Afm- well work is quite good, I'm working in accounts three days a week, it's been a long time since I sat at a desk all day, it's very weird! I keep getting a numb bum as well lol! Seem to have picked things up well! The evenings are a rush and I've been working on college assignments as well so the house has been totally disgusting! Assignments handed in now and I've got a couple of days of work and college so get to clean, chill, be with my baby who I've missed terribly, do a bit of Xmas shopping and just generally relax!
Ds1 had his school play on Wednesday I really enjoyed it,ds2 came with me, he was really good and then his brother came on stage and he wanted to be up there with him lol!
Pregnancy wise alls well, the sickness has really eased, I had a week or two where it was awful but now it's just first thing because I've not eaten, getting a little back ache but nothing too bad and it could be the chair at work more than anything.
Had a big argument with dp yesterday because of how lazy he is and how I never get any help even when I ask for it! I know he has the hump about me working as well, mainly because of lack of control and me having a life outside the house! All seems to have blown over now but nothing will change, I probably should have just not bothered saying anything!

Right must get off here and get on with the day!

Hope all ladies and babies are well!

Oh I forgot to mention I have my first midwife appointment next Friday! Can't wait, and should have my scan mid jan!

Good morning! I can't believe i'm here writing another "good morning post" the days just seem to fly by! it's nearly weekend!

Inglewood ~ Eugh for people taking offense at something so ridiculous. It's very understandable you would want your sons to find out first before anyone else and if they can't see that then they're just plain stupid IMO! at the end of the day your sons are your immediate family, your SIL is not. But i think it could have something to do with what Littlemisswilko mentioned, perhaps she's feeling a bit "threatened". She's not going to be the only one with the girl anymore iyswim? and the fact you're expecting identical twin girls is just even more amazing.. and lets not forget having 2 boys and twin girls, that's the perfect family make-up!! :)

Kell ~ I don't know yet, i'm going tomorrow morning to have my bp checked again. I'm hoping it was a one off but I doubt it. Glad to hear you're enjoying your new job and that the nausea has eased up, but i'm sorry to hear you had a big fight with your dh. I hope he starts coming around to the idea of you working soon.. you would think he would be more supportive?

GeCon ~ I too bought my spell of ebay from a lovely lady called mia-angel :agree:

Chocolate ~ sounds like a promising sign? :) how long will you wait to test?

Littemisswilko ~ any MS yet?

Morning ladies i hope every1 is ok?

inglewood.....has is sunk in yet that your gonna have twin girls? omg that must be an amazing feeling hun :twins:

baby mad.....so lovely when you start feeling those kicks :HH:

sunset.....hope your bp settles down x

big waves every1 else :wave:

can i ask u ladies as im now totally confused, for ttc a girl r we supposed to hav extra calcium? this forum is differnt to what ive been used to!! is the ig diet better or the LE? :confused: xx

Homebirthingprincess ~ I really don't like to say which diet I think is "better" since I think it all comes down to personal preference. What works for one person may not work for someone else iyswim. Personally though I am more comfortable with the idea of the IG diet. I did come across the LE diet before I started swaying, but the IG diet made more sense to me so I that's what I went with. I don't judge anyone for doing the LE diet or A-gender diet or french diet or any of the other 100's of swaying diets out there, as long as you feel happy with your sway and believe in it then that's all that matters :agree: but I know myself how confusing it is to read up about one diet and then come across another website which is the complete opposite.. it had me very frustrated there for a while before I decided to pick just one diet and go for it a 150%

thanks sunset, i think your right i know all about the ig diet so im proberly better to stick to what i know, can i ask what calcium sups u took am i right in thinking solray? xx

Morning all, on to have a quick rant......sorry!!!

Dh started work at 6am today, he phoned me at 8am saying "quick get on FB, did u say we are having girls, even by accident??" I said no and checked.... the only comment is from an ex-work collegue who is kinna 'psychic' with things saying "how lovely 2 girls"...I just took that as a guess from my scan pic?? I replied to her, "Is that what ur thinknig? not sure, ds1 wants boys, ds2 girls" That was it...I didn't confirm or say we even knew or were going to find out!

Well.....apparently my older SIL (not the above mentioned one) phoned dh at work and said, "hear it's 2 girls" dh said where did u hear that, she doesn't have fb and told him it was on FB!! The only 2 people to have Fb in his family is MIL and Dh's twin sister, so I texted them asking who told my older SIL that? The twin sister got back to me said, not her, hasn't spoken to her in wks, so it must of been my MIL who phoned her and said!! Dh is FUMING!!!! and me, as do they honestly think a friend on Fb is gonna know the sex before our own family???? (I know u guys know, but u know what I mean). This is why he can't trust his family :( not to tell the boys at xmas!!! Who does my MIL think she is telling his sister before we do??? Super mad ladies this morning...can feel my blood boiling!

Hey, homebirthprincess - I was confused to start with, and basically wanted to just limit nutrients as much as possible as I think that is key so mainly ate pasta and some parmasan or rice. I think if Im not pregnant this cycle I will follow IG 100% as I did the diet 70% ish and if Im pregnant I will feel like its a boy so next time want to do 100% for my own hope really.

LMW - thats reassuring to know as ever since feeding DS1 Im sure I could get milk out if I tired. Ill prob. start testing in a few days, but have decided if its negative this month I will actually be a bit relieved and will give it 100% on the IG diet etc. next cycle or may even wait till March,or at least try for 0+12 in the meantime although I did look out for changes this time but couldnt pinpoint 0+12 by doing that so not sure.

Inglewood I'm confused, I didn't realise you'd told mil they are girls? She's out of order if she was told and has gone against your wishes!

So did you confirm to your MIL that they are girls? Does she know you know? Id just say no we dont know but keep guessing lol

ohno inglewood :( sorry you have this going on - my inlaws sound exactly the same x huge hugs hope you manage to sort it out x - i would say you dont know and will be finding out at the private scan x x

Will catch up soon x sorry ladies really busy here am sure you all are too x x did i say i was feeling better - can i take it back lol - i am better than i was but now being sick when i get in from the school run JOY its just too much at the mo :( anyway lovely ladies hope you are all ok x

AND secret santa arrived SSOoooooo excited thankyou santa :D keeping it for xmas day :D

How rude inglewood!!! id be angry too. Hope you get it all sorted out in the end!

Sunset - no MS. ive never ever suffered from it so dont know what it feels like :S i just feel normal IYKWIM.

kell - great you have got a appointment! i was at the doctors yesturday so thought id better try and get a booking in appointment with the MW and she had left an answering machine message saying the earliest appoint they have is 3rd of jan. which is fine by me!

Homebirthingprincess ~ yes i used the Solaray calcium citrate supplements :)

Inglewood ~ omg, family drama!! that so sounds like something my family-in-law would do!!! especially some kind of drama surrounding something someone read on FB lol it happens all the time *bork* people are so quick to make assumptions and if your MIL thought it was on FB why didn't she ring you first to confirm? I think it mostly sounds like some desperate attempt to get you to confirm gender by "mistake" if you know what i mean :/

Littlemisswilko ~ I was like that with ds2. You are very lucky! :)

Charlieispy ~ I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling sick again :( such long school runs is very hard work!

oh and isn't "you've got your hands full" the most ANNOYING comment ever!!!!!?? I wonder if I was 10-15 years older would I get that comment as frequently?

Sunset, that's exactly what dh said!! Why didn't she call us and say "what's with the girls comment on fb?" grrr All we have told my in-laws/friends etc.... is that we know, but aren't telling anyone till the 4d scan in jan, so they will ALL have to wait. Only my parents know, as I can totally trust them! Makes me annoyed at the woman who started this on FB! Hating FB today!! Makes me want to tell NO-ONE!!! even after Jan scan. My MIL hasn't texted back since I asked if it was her!:mad: Dh is so mad is mum thought she could tell his big sister any info she thought she knew before we did!!

Sunset, saw ur Fb comment, what a cheeky woman! I hate how people think it's ok to comment on other people's situations when they are complete strangers! It's like I heard some people at work have been discussing me!!! How will I cope with 4 kids, financially, having to move etc... the cheek! Like it's any of their buisiness. They had me off sick from the end of NOV! One girl took a note of all my shifts that she could do when I'm off!!! It made me more determined to keep going,although I doubt I will make it past mid jan!!

Think I'm in a ranting mood...SORRY!

On the plus!! I made £70 on ebay!!! Money to buy stuff for the :twins: and I'm 20 wks pg today!!! Yeah!!

Im just not convinced much goes into your system if its used sparingly like you did. Im trying to just use whatever prescribed on the bad bit of my legs. Have you ever tried coal tar? Im sure thats what i used as a teen. Sorry to hear bfn for you and also that you cant attempt this month. Fresh start in the new year! X

---

Yeah I'm not sure how much goes into your system, however, once I found out I was preggo (the loss) my doc called me immediately to stop using them. Never tried coal tar. The clobex and vectical work pretty well for me. I guess I'm gonna just concentrate on diet till January ttc again. I feel much better already. GOing to doc next Friday- hopefully to come off the steroid.. I'm starting to think maybe I should look into high tec. Anyone ever consider????

Congrats LittleMiss thats awesome news!!!!

Congratulations Littlemisswilko, what fab news!!!

Yay to being 20 weeks inglewood :D . So sorry your inlaws are being pains and stressing out, sounds like they need to grow up.

Hope the sickness eases up for you soon Charlie.

Maybepink, lovely scan pic!

Hello to everyone else

x

Hi all, still feeling rubbish, ugh. Does anyone know about taking B6 for m/s? The ginger not helping! I'm going to try accupuncture, have booked myself in for an appt on Sat. I'm just not coping with it at all, don't know how all you girls managed.

Inglewood- I would be fuming too, so annoying when people get unnecessarily involved and mess things up. Hope things are resolving themselves now.

Maybe- glad you had a good scan, I always park at tesco too, at least it is free though you do have a longer walk. Tuesdays are good for me, only day really can't do is Fri, just let me know!

Sunset- yes, I really wanted to be part of the SS so I just slotted my name in to the list randomly so I didn't choose who I had but do know who my SS is! It is exciting everyone sending out and getting their presents! :)

Inglewood so sorrry for the family drama causing you stress! Inlaws can be such a nightmare sometimes.
yay for 20 weeks! Feels like only yesterday you found out you were having twins not two months ago!!

I've got a feeling I've missed O?? I got quite a dark line on the cheapies a few days ago but no smiley and the cheapies have been getting fainter and no smiley's also had some O pains for two days but was hoping they were pre-O pains which i've googled and can happen. FX for a smiley tomorrow as I'll be CD 14 which is normally when I get a positive on the cheapies.

Had a busy day today collecting holly and bits from MIL garden to decorate the house. Also i've been sewing on a thundercats badge onto an orange leotard as you do :D lol. I'm working on New Years Eve and and everyone dresses up and the theme is 'TV characters from your childhood' I'm going as Cheetara, http://thundercatssite.com/cheetara-profile/ a link for those of you too young to have watched thundercats, myself included :D. I found a great blog which showed me how to make the costume. God know what i'll do with a gold single sleeved catsuit after new years!! Not really school run couture lol.

Indigo you poor thing. I've never had MS so really have no clue but can imagine how awful it must be especially with little ones to look after. Hope you find something that helps. x

indigo how come you dont have a pregnancy ticker?

Indigo Violet - Id post asking atomic as I read something she wrote before about taking it in pregnancy and doses. I feel for you, feeling sick to me is worse than childbirth, makes me want to curl up and do nothing but cry. I have felt sick on and off today and it gave me a horrid reminder of how that feels, so much so that its made me think about delaying my attempt for a couple of cycles so atleast DS2 is a bit older and walking confidently lol.
Charlie hope you feel better soon xx

Lavender, i was sooooooo the thundercats generation...thunder, thunder, thunder cats! and your outfit sounds awesome! Oh and i too need to get hold of some holly!! Hope you havent missed ov... my opks quite often fade in and out. have you had any ewcm? Keep testing!

H&G, im starting to think me and dh might go high tec... not this time round but next time. I have some inheritance saved up so i just need dh to be on-board. Must be so hard for you having lost a dd. Im convinced my first chemical was my dd, so to actually know must be devastating. i do so hope you conceive another dd, be it swaying or high tech X

Inglewood, sorry to hear you are having family dramas over twinnies gender. Shame people cant just be happy for you that you are firstly pg and secondly carrying two. Why are they obsessed with gender...leave that bit to us mummies!!!!

Indigo, so sorry you are suffering. Wish i knew what to suggest. At least its a good sign though. Well jell of your meet up with maybe! Wish i had a swaying buddy nearby :(

I have a parcel waiting for me at the post office. I do so hope its my SS! Gonna try wait til christmas, but im a a bit rubbish at that! Hoping my recipient got theirs ok and didnt have to add any postage!! Queue so long at post office, i just wacked a load of stamps on!

I got the stinky coal tar today.... dont remember it smelling this bad as a teen but not gonna moan as it wont affect my sway. I will just smell like a croass between a hospital and road works for a few months!

Ph looking good 3.9-4.3 at the mo and hoping to ov early next week. I know i say this every month... but pleeeeeeease god, let it be my go!!

Hi everyone else! X

fingers crossed for a bfp this month deaks! it truely is your turn for one!!

chocolate - hope you are feeling a bit better for tomorrow!! and hope you decide when it feels best to start ttc

deaks/ H&G ~ After telling my dp this mnth that i was pg the first thing he said was ohh well you didnt get pg the way you wanted with us not swaying etc. and commented on how easy it was to fall pg without swaying. He then went on to say that the odds for this one being a boy are high and if this is the case we will have no other choice but to go high tech and have to save. which im glad he's on my side.

lmw - have u looked into how much it would be high tech?
This is something I would consider for our last but depends on the over-all cost espcially if it took a few cycles but also wouldnt want to tell people and that would be almost impossible

Inglewood ~ rant all you want :) It’s only good to get it off your chest and that’s what we’re all here for! Thank you, I too thought she was very cheeky, but at the same time I get those kind of comments as soon as I leave the house... sometimes I think perhaps I’m just very hormonal at the moment? DH thinks I’m being overly sensitive and apparently people are just trying to make conversation lol it just gets to me when people put such a negative tone to me having my children close in age.. at the end of the day it’s not like they’re “accidents”! They were all planned and very much wanted and I wouldn’t have it any other way! But as I think we all know, people just can’t be happy for other people :(
Yay for 20 weeks!! :cheer:

Indigoviolet ~ You can definitely take b6 in pregnancy! It might be worth booking an appointment with your GD as I know of women who have been prescribed b6 in pregnancy to help ease nausea.. something like 10mcg

Lavenderlime ~ fx you haven’t missed ov! Do you not take your bbt?
Love the outfit btw!! :D awesome!

Chocolate ~ MS really isn’t nice at all. Let us know what you decide!

Deaks ~ great ph! :agree: hopefully the coal tar will do the trick and help the rash clear up quickly! If you go high tech will you go to Europe or America to have it done?

Littlemisswilko ~ it must be so nice to know your dh is on board for going high tech in the future if this is another sweet boy for you. I would have loved the idea of high tech but there is just no way on earth we would ever have been able to afford it so i would have had no choice but to try naturally again.

i havent looked to much into it but it costs around £6000 - £7000 at cyprus. I think youre there around a week or two so could tell family you were going on holiday. would obviously have to do some more reserch but obviously this can be an option

Sunset - the 'you've got your hands full' comment is the one I get all the time too!
