Oh no maybe, why are you high risk? Hope all ok.
Thanks Kelly, hoping that even if I get bfn this cycle that my lp is nice and long as I'm always worried that implantation might fail even if an egg did get fertilised. Btw, don't think I have welcomed you to the thread, so, welcome!
Indigo, I have missed you write about an infection. Sorry Hun, that's no fun! Hope you are on the mend soon!
Thanks Deaks!
I may be wrong but i was under the impression your lp was usually always the same from month to month? is yours usually short?
I had to be admitted to hospital with pre-eclampsia at 35 weeks with DS1. ds2 was ok but my BP was high. My booking BP this time was 146/97 so I am high risk of pre-eclampsia. Could go either way but FX they take good care of me and nothing develops. As long as I get to 30 weeks I don't care really. The um-ing and ar-ing when I had it with ds1 was the worst. By the time they scanned me his placenta was 50% dead. Looking back I wish they had just given me section then and there. Too much risk just to buy a few extra weeks when he had stopped growing anyway.
Kell- I think it's ment to be but then my LP has been 12 days twice but last month was 14 I think that was because I was super stressed though and coming down with a cold all in one go.
Indigo I felt like I had UTI for a few days when I started the diet but the feeling went away pretty quickly. Maybe it was all the cranberry that helped flush it out.
Deaks FX for a BFP when testing early for ds2 I got a BFN chucked it in the bin fished it out two hours later (just had a feeling) and it was a BFP! FX for you. Glad your having a lovely time with your DH and boys!
Inglewood I can't believe that you'll potentially know the sex of your twins in a few week! I also have a very strong feeling they're girls from the nub shot!
Maybe sorry to hear that you are high risk but it's great to hear that you'll be booked into see the midwife on a regular basis. And it'll be lovely having the extra scans!
Petal, hope things get moving for you soon! Until then enjoy your bump. I always miss mine when it's gone!

Deaks- fx for a bfp soon. sounds like you are having a brilliant time, lucky boys!
maybebaby- really hope this pg is healthy all the way through, so scary that happened with your ds1, thank goodness everything worked out ok. when is good for a coffee after drop-off? I only work fridays. Be nice to meet up.
Indigo - Tuesdays DS1 does gym and Wednesday he as at after school club. Any other day is fine with me

Love you all loads girls and I'm def going to try and be more proactive on here from now on I'm still cheering you all and happy to help with Q's where I can !!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ooops copied wrong post copied in kells post rather than yours maybe doh !!
Petal ~ I was late with all my 3 boys and induced with 2 of them so I know how you feel. I did EVERYTHING to get mine moving as I desperatly wanted a homebirth, but nothing!! My MW said it might because I have long cycles so they are not ready to arrive. FX he's with you soon, GL tomorrow xx
Hi TLM :)
Lavender - hi :)
Inglewood - I defo think you'll see the sex at 15 wks x
Maybe - hope they keep a good eye on you x
Hi everyone else x
Babymad - how are you feeling now? I feel much better but still have a net weight weight loss of 1lbs so far! Heartburn has just kicked in now - great!
TLM life sounds manic! My DH has a new ache every day too. He is getting old! 37, poor thing ;¬) He keeps on telling me not do stuff "oh don't do that - I will do it for you" shame he never does, things never get done. The bath has had its third clean since I turned 12 weeks - urrghhh! He rushed in as I was bent over it coughing as I inhalled all the chemicals. M E N!!!
hello there - well we have more sickness here... DS1's temp spiked last night so he was up most of the night poor little sausage. Exhausted again!! This has been such a nasty virus/bug! Can't wait til it leaves our household!!!!
Inglewood - I ended up in Australia because my of my hubbie. I met him in Scotland and we were over here for a while before heading to Australia. We've talked about coming back... but we need to work out the financials first!
maybe - I teach primary - as I'm just emergency I have all the grades! I really enjoy it. I was in IT for 5 years and I didn't like sitting in front of a computer all the time :D (not so good if you're a programmer!). I miss the salary though!!
babymad - sick children and morning sickness don't go together do they!?!?! Morning sickness was a bit of a design flaw!!
nothing much new to report... 7 weeks today which is great although it feels as though it has been a year since I found out! 12 weeks seems like an eternity. Must start focusing on Christmas... but I never get in the Christmassy mood over here. I mean its 30 degree on Saturday and 32 on Sunday... just NOT Christmas!! I find I'm very disorganised when it comes to Christmas. I blame it on the weather.
I'm barely buying the boys anything this year. DS1s birthday is 30th December so I'm thinking of making him a teepee for his birthday - I found a pattern which looks good... so better get sewing. Anyone getting their boys anything good for Christmas?
Yep mine is the same leave it and ill do it but 9 times out of 10 i have to do it !!Quote:

My oh is worse than useless as well! And it's the same when I'm pregnant! Charlie is two now, there's a pile of rubbish in our garden that's been there since I was pregnant, so what 3 years ago! I've been standing my ground and making a point with this stuff but I can't do it anymore! Once it starts to freeze over a bit I'll do it myself! Can't have millions of spiders crawling on me tho! Lol!
Sorry your little sausage is ill Pinga ( I call Charlie sausage as well!)
Right must get off here and get ready for college!
Morning all! hope you are doing well today.
off to playgroup in a bit, just wanted to check in on you all :HH:
Hello,
I am new and have a question for you, ladies.
I have looked at ph test strips and am wondering which ph test strips to get and where from. Any help would be much appreciated. I have seen some online, but they either only go from 4.5 to 9 or in full numbers.
Thanks.
Hi all,
Babymad, yeah i wonder this too as my cycles have always been long!
Went to the midwifw drop in clinic, had over an hour wait. Had an older midwife today, she was sooo slow, she kept calling the baby a she which wound me up! then she asked if we knew what it was, i said a boy, then she said oh yes its defo a boy with that heart beat!! aghrrr. So then without asking me she rang the hsopital to book me in to be induced, ive got to go in next thursday night if nothing happened before then! i really dont want to be induced, i can see this going down the same path as when i had ds1!!! she asked me if i wanted a membrane sweep, i said no. I feel so stressed, would have been much nicer if i had been able to see my own midwife yesterday. Oh and she said the head hadnt engaged any further since last time, great!!!
Sorry for the moan lol, hope you are all well x
Hi everyone,
Maybe ~ unfortunately im no better, im taking medication but dont think it helps to be honest. Im really struggling to function :(
Great that you are feeling better :) theres always something in pg to make you feel rubbish.... I am wishing the next 30 wks to fly by!!
Petal ~ hugs hun, I really know how frustrated you must feel. The sweep isnt painful so maybe give it a try or have you tried DTD as that helps to get things moving too ;)
Hi all
Sorry been a bit quiet my sister is having her appointment today.....so a bit well I just dont know how to feel I feel so gutted for her but i think its what she wants, for some reason it has made me worry about my baby! Havnt heard from her yet hopefully she will text or ring so I know she is home etc :(
Deaks - did you test again?? Been thinking about you PEE ON A FRER if you have one ;) glad you are having a lovely time away x
Hi geo - welcome i got my PH strips from ebay they werent overly sensitive but ranged 1-14 very cheap too
Indigo - hope playgroup was good - getting ready for your next attempt?? FX FX FX for you really truelly
Pinga - HUGS for more poorly boys bless you must be so hard x hope you are ok and no more spotting x we are doing minimal xmas this year i try most years I would love it to be like old times when kids got 'a' wooden toy and an orange and played with that instead all the plastic crap they get given <SIGH> oh well they love the plastic crap lol - oooh and i made a teepee for ds1 first birthday i just made up the pattern and got old bedding from charity shops will try and find a photo the boys love it
babymad - hope you are ok x x not too bad today
TLM - HUGS to you too DH's are just on another planet i swear sometimes i hope things get easier x x
maybe - :( for the heartburn - i dont usually put on loads of weight when pregnant bet i jinx myself this time and balloon now :p x i found rennies chews good for heartburn and they taste quite nice ;)
Petal - COME ON BABY!!!
Inglewood - omg you might get to see the sexes at your next scan x i was just looking at at 14wk scan and it looked obvious from that x
2 monkeys - thinking of you x
WAVES to everyone else x x
I have 4 little boys this afternoon as looking after a friends boy who is a week older than ds1.....FX its the only time i have 4 boys and this button bean is pink ;) Am still knackered and feeling rough but thats a good sign...only want to eat salad sandwiches but with jalepenos and olives in.....i know and lilt in cans! I went to the chippy last night to buy 3 cans they must have thought i was insane nothing else just lilt!!!
MY teepee made from old duvet covers, and the boys decorated the pillow cases that came with them to make indian outfits :D
Omg charlie, that teepee is so cool!! I'm very impressed!
Thinking of your sis and sending positive thoughts her way, really hope it all goes as well as it can and she feels at peace.
Petal- I'm sure your little man will make a move before next Thurs, it's a long time yet. I agree with Babymad to DTD even though that's probably the last thing on your mind! (btw, semen 'taken' orally is a LOT more effective, bleugh!). ((hugs))
I agree, so annoying not having your normal midwife, they always say the wrong things. I hate having to explain everything again with a new one.
Charlie that is awesome!!! I bet your boys had so much fun! :)
Charlie love the teepee and the lilt story made me smile! hope it's all going well with 4 boys!
Pinga hugs hope it all eases off, and your boys feel better. Also another low key Xmas here! I really just love all the prep like the tree decorating, The xmassy music, the smells, hanging up the stockings on the fireplace, making sooty boot prints!
But Dp would love a hot Christmas away he was just talking about us going on a cruise next year?? Which is not my idea of Christmas at all!
Deaks have you tested again?
:wave: hi babymad hope the sickness is starting to ease off a little.
Not much to report here just trying to have a big sort out of the cupboards, and it's all at the has to look really bad before it looks good stage:bigsmile:
aww pinga so sorry to hear you boys are full of sickness. I was up most of the night struggling to breath. Full of cold at the moment with a constant headache. Manage to get a good few hours sleep after i digged the boys vicks vapour rub out of the cupboard and put a load under my nose!Quote:

FWIW, my babies have all arrived on time and I've always had (before swaying!) very regular 28 day cycles so if your cycle is long and yours are always 'late' then perhaps that's the reason. Of course, they can't make you go in for your induction if you don't want to. I agree with the DTD - I would get a take-away (curry of course!) have a glass of wine and an early night with DH (or book a babysitter and plan to go somewhere you really want to go - you're bound to go in to labour then!). I'm sure your little man will be worth the wait!
charlie - that teepee is so cool. My boys would love it too!
Babymad - I'm sorry you feel so rotten. I'm sure you've said before but is this how you've been in previous pregnancies? If so when did it ease off for you? I hope it's soon!
AFM, I've booked a gender scan for 17th December! It was completely spur of the moment and I had been wondering about not finding out the sex of this baby but I'm spending too much of my time wondering - and if I change my mind I can always cancel!
I just filled 4 bin bags with 'bits' from toys which had accumulated in the biggest boys' bedroom and I'm now wondering what to get them for Christmas. It's shocking really, we're definitely going to scale back this year too. Does anybody have any idea what I can buy DS3 who's just turned 2 (and has 2 bigger brothers with access to just about any conceivable toy ever!)? I have a big list for the older two (mainly toys advertised on Milkshake in the mornings!) but absolutely no ideas for DS3.
Hi all, so sorry there are several of you and your little men suffering from sickness, bugs, colds etc! Hope everyone improves by the time the weekend arrives.
I'm 9dpo and tested bfn with a cheapie this morning. Am too scared to test with a frer whilst I'm on holiday as I know I will feel absolutely gutted this cycle. Pretty sure af will show up though as had major af symptoms and THE most severe back ache last night I was convinced either bfp or af would be with me by the morning...but nothing of course. Most people get a bfp 9dpo on a cheapie don't they really? My cervix went really high last night which also gave me hope but then low again this morning. As you can tell been major symptom spotting!
Kelly, my little man is just 2 and he is so into mickey mouse and the Disney channel, I think I'll manage to sort him easily if I take a trio to the Disney store!
As for the older two boys, well they always seem to want each others toys so we end up buying two of everything, seems like a waste to me! They unfortunately are into role play with swords and guns etc. I think we may replace our broken wii for them this year as well
come on baby petal...we're all waiting, especially your mummy!!!
Deaks, my IC tests were rubbish before AF was due! I bought some ultra sensitive ones (supposedly 10miu) but got a stark white BFN using FMU on the same day I got my BFP on a Clearblue digital (in the evening!) which is only meant to detect 25miu. I still only had a feint line on the IC the night before AF was due. In all honesty, I wouldn't bother with ICs again!
you want to buy the universal ph strips which test from a ph of 1-14 or buy the hannah ph tester as they are quite accurateQuote:

Crashing....because after reading about this MW I had to write something!!! About the induction...if you don't want to be induced....don't go in:) She can't force you to get an induction. She's covering her butt and isn't thinking about what is best for YOU and baby. Induction has WAY more risks than just waiting a few more days. Also, is this baby #2 or more? If so, they don't really tend to "engage" until very close to labour starting. She should know that. It's so good that you stayed away from the membrane sweep!! If baby isn't engaged, she could start labour prematurely and unless baby is in an optimal position, you're just asking for trouble(malpositioned baby as well as accident rupture of membranes, introducing bacteria...).Quote:

Just my rant! Sorry to offload!! XO I hope baby decides to come soon so you don't have to deal with all this rubbish.
Charlie ~ love the pics :) I hope your sister is doing ok x
Lavender ~ hi hun :)
Littlemiss ~ Thx, hope you are ok x
Zanacal ~ sorry forgot to post re your scan, so pleased everything is ok :) I dont normally start to feel better until 20-24 weeks so feels a life time away :(
Petal ~ I agree, dont be rushed into anything!
Sunset ~ lots of hugs, I hope you are getting lots of rest, you've had it really rough bless you x
Just about to have s bath and get into bed!!
Deaks ~ go test with s first response!! GL x
