Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ January

Glad everything went well at your scan Chocolate.

Babymad, can't believe your 20week scan is friday. Good luck!

Sunset - All is well here thank you. Apart from my 8 year old, has a horrid attitude at the moment and can be a real pain sometimes :( Just busy trying to pack up the house as hopefully we'll get a moving date this week. Oh is already planning on extending as soon as we get the keys as he wants it ready before i have another little one. Still planning on ttc around april/may time. May make it abit later so not stressed with building work and will see when we get moved in.

Hello to everyone else, hope you pregnant ladies start to feel better soon. Fx those ttc will get their pink bfp soon

xx

Inglewood sorry to hear that you've had such a hard time with breastfeeding. It is possible to breastfeed twins or mixfeed if you did possibly want to look into it? I know two twin mums and they both managed to breastfeed, one exclusively and one topped up with formula but they both said they actually found it easier than washing, sterilising and making up bottles for two and also much cheaper! But at the end of the day it's what works for you and your family, I just don't want your negative experiences to taint your ability in yourself to do it.
When do you think you will you start your maternity leave? Sorry to hear your feeling uncomfortable.

Babymad how was the school run? I was feeding ds2 cheerios in the bath whilst washing his hair this morning! I even set the alarm to get an early start but it's always a little hectic here!

Sunset I'm not attempting this month It would have been around Friday but I ran out of some of my sups for a week and let my diet slip for a few weeks. (just ate a little too much chocolate and had two glasses of wine over new years) Nothing major but I want this so badly I know I need to give it 100% so if I don't get my dg I know I have done my very best.

Indigo sorry to hear your not feeling great still.

Charlie what great results!

My delivery from anthropolgie arrive today which put a smile on my face it was only some latte bowls, and some anogrammed mugs (got one for DP too from the boys for his b.day) but love parcels and my milk tastes so much nicer out of a big chunky mug!

Right back to the spring cleaning, on a massive roll did the windows inside and out yesterday, sorting through the kitchen cupboards today.

LOL at Cheerios in the bath :) It didn't go too badly, I had a dreadful nights sleep so felt awful when the alarm went at 7am! I got up and got ready and had to wake all my boys up at 8am!!...I felt like I had done a days work by the time I had dropped them all off at school/ playgroup and then I had to go to work!! Counting down until Feb half term ;)

Inglewood ~ Sounds like you are getting really organised :) I haven't started to do anything yet! I gave ALL of my baby clothes away so I need to write a list really and start shopping. I had mastitis too with DS2, its not nice! Bottle feeding will be a lot easier for you so don't feel bad, practicality has to come into our decision making! We had an Out and About double pushchair for DS2 and DS3 as there is only 16 mths between them (so my life was VERY twin like for awhile!) and that did fit into the SMAX with the boots seats up too. GL with the physio app x

Chocolate ~ Great that you got to hear the HB :)

Lavender ~ I have been spring cleaning too - never ending!

WFP ~ Hope the house move goes well, fingers crossed you'll be all sorted for when you start ttc :)

Chocolate, glad your first scan went well! Don't lose hope for that pink bean yet! Although I totally know that's easier said than done, I go from feeling hopeful this is my girl to feeling like I'll never be out of the blue! I go back and forth between the feelings on a daily basis, I just know I'm going to drive myself crazy before my 20 wk scan! My OB doesn't do NT scans at 12 weeks...he does confirmation at around 8 weeks, then the gender scan at around 20 weeks, last time I found at 18 weeks, but the U/S tech was pissed that we got in two weeks early!

Nini, yes of course I remember you hunny! I'm so glad you found us here on this website, I can't even get on IG at all now, and this is a great group of ladies! I did mostly IG diet as far as diary and low meat goes, but some of the LE diet, as far as trying to cut back on meat in general, and eating less nutritious foods...the first thing I did once I got my BFP was a huge bowl of mashed poatoes, I missed poatoes and bananas so much! I've always been indulging in some chocolate, though it's kind of turning my stomach! UGH, already! I always hate sweets/chocolate in my first trimesters.

Lavender, I agree if you don't feel about this month, skip it! And I love that you've been cleaning, I always say if you feel like cleaning up, do it...as for me, I don't always feel that way, so when I do feel motivated about the house, I try to go hog wild! I just finished putting up some cute baby wall stuff for DS2's nursery...and my DH says..."Uhhh, aren't you a few months late in decorating his room?" I say as long as it's get done, it's never too late :P

Zan, that is very interesting about ovualting from the left. I will be sure to ask at my 8 week scan, though I will be happy if I hear left, I won't count myself out until they actually confirm the gender!

sorry quick post BAD BAD headaches
yay chocolate so pleased for you x i Oed from right ovary baby on left side of womb though at 7 week scan?!?

Inglewood did you have a scan too??

Babymad - hugs for the head for really bad ones also get the 4head strips cant go out in them but they are soooo good x i had to take cocodamol last night though it was too much

Fx it's a girly sign for u!

The scanner was held more central but I don't know, have a feeling this was more more to the boy side - can't remember which means which now but sure at the time I knew and it looked more towards the boy side but didn't ask. Will ask at the 12 week scan though. Just glad all is ok for now as convinced myself there wouldn't be good news

Chocolate great news about the scan!

Hi all,

charlie and babymad, sorry youre suffering with headaches. I have used the 4head roll on thing which was amazing for the one and only time i have had a proper migraine type headache...i expect the strips are even better!

Chocolate, great news about the scan!

Lavender, you are so strong to not be attempting this month, i really admire that! Oh and i love anthropologie!

Hi everyone else! As you can see am on cd 2 as got af late afternoon yesterday. So onwards and upwards. Think this is likely to be my last month of o+12. 90% back on the diet this weekend.... aiming for 100% tomorrow...fun times! Noticed that my af is very dark again this month...must be old blood caused by the crinone delaying af from 9dpo to 13 dpo, but not sure. Any ideas?

Ah sorry af got you deaks, not sure about the dark bleeding though, sounds like a good idea at giving 0+12 a shot and then dropping timing if it doesnt work, really want you to get that positive this cycle though, please please please! :-)
