I think a mother son bond is pretty great too. :)Quote:

Ok, so I have a date for my 20 week scan. Not sure if I will find out gender, but if I do, I will let you all know. Thurs 28th June it is and I will be exactly 20 weeks. I am really happy as DH will be able to be there that day and I don't have to go back to the u/s place with the horrible tech. I will be seeing a different OB in the private hospital who specialises in u/s. And apparently he has 3D as well, so I may even see a 3D picture (although my boys looked like little old men in theirs!) It is a long way off still, but gives me something to look forward to.
I am looking forward to your scan Peony!!
Mine is on the 13th of june.. wed! I am a bit nervous!!
Virtually 3 weeks then Pinkin! That's great. You will be just fine I am sure. And how exciting to see all the lovely pictures that you get at that scan. Is your DS excited about having a sibling?
Yeah he is very excited tho wants a sister!! I was thinking of not taking him to the scan incase its a boy but D/h thinks he will ok so we will take him.. They give you a dvd so thats pretty cool
She kept telling me hands. I am the one that thinks they are boy parts. I am going to show them to the tech who is doing the anatomy scan and see what she says. I am hoping she could get a better view. I think the other tech was just not as experienced as she should be to guess a gender or get a good view. Maybe Friday will bring better news.... I am going to ask for a potty shot and a side shot of a turtle but I am still hoping for no turtle.Quote:

Purplepoet - love the 3D pic of your little one. Just precious.
Thanks Everyone you lovely kind words they me alot to me. Im actually feeling ok with it at the moment. I have got a little sad when i have seen a few baby girls but i think im doing ok.
Well i have totally injured my back yesterday and i can no longer walk, im in so much pain :( I have done a little bit of heavy lifting that i shouldn't have done, but yesterday after picking my boys up from school i went to sainsburys doing a little bit of shopping. My back was aching pushing the trolley but when i went to fasten the seatbelt for DS1 i twisted and got an almighty massive pain in my back, i screamed. Since, i have been in agony when lying, sitting and walking.
Been to dr's this morning and now on co-codamol as paracetamol not doing anything but im still in agony.
Im sure the doctors dont understand im a mummy to 3 boys and tomorrow DH is back at work and i need to be back doing everything, i really dont think thats going to happen tho :( i really dont know what im going to do. I keep crying im in so much pain :tissue:
Oh, HappyLea - I'm so sorry about your back! I had a bad back I jury a year ago - I fell on the stairs and got a contusion on my sacrum. It was miserable! I really hope it gets better soon. Can your dh take a day or two off of work to help you at home?
Oh Happy Leah I am also so sorry about your back. When 7 months pregnant with DS#2 I was washing my hands at the sink and leaned over in a weird way and then felt a *pOp*.. OMG just excruciating back pain after that! I had to go to the ER, I was so afraid I would lose him. But there wasn't much they could do but give me fluids. I rested in bed until I felt better. It did pass, and DH helped out a lot during that time! I hope your DH can help you out a lot more.
How horrible HappyLea. When it rains, it pours hey. I wonder if there is an anti-inflammatory that is safe to take during pregnancy? That would help with the pain, inflammation and spasms. And icing the area would help reduce the inflammation. Valium (diazepam) is also wonderful for back spasms but again you would need to check about the safety and get a script for that. It always seems to be that one small twist and then it is all over. Just so easy to do. My back was crap with DS1 from 20 weeks onwards. I hurt it while lifting a heavy patient at work. I remember lying on my back on the bedroom floor telling DH not to touch me. I had to move in my own time as I knew what hurt. When you are able to do things again, make sure you don't bend forward. Get down on your knees to dress children, make beds, whatever it is. I really hope it settles very soon for you. We know how miserable it is.
I wonder if you could do some icy hot cream or something. I can't remember if I did or not :(
Oh it sure is miserable. Unfortunately Dr said no to any imflammatory during pregnancy. So just on pain killer and she said i can use hot water bottle also. She was going to give me a cream to rub in my back but then she said no as it had inflammatory in it.
DH is a police officer so its hard for him to just get time off at short notice, but he is going to have to do something. As i cant walk never mind do school run and run round after the 2 boys not at school tomorrow.
I can't believe just a stupid twist/stretch of my body doing DS seatbelt completely put my back out. The pain killer has taken alittle of the pain away and at least im not crying but it is still hurting bad. Hopefully it will just ease soon and i will be taking it easy as not to put it out again.
so sorry to hear you didn't hear girl, I'm so gutted for you, I hope you feel better soon and are ok, I think you have a wonderful gorgeous family and are so lucky to have all boys and I bet each and every one of them loves you to bits!Quote:

Well i have just phoned the out of hours doctors team as i cant handle the pain any longer, the pain killers are doing nothing. Even tho the doctor i saw today said she could give me a higher dose of pain killer if needed he said he wont as its not safe in pregnancy and there is nothing else he can give me. I just have to put up with it :tissue:
Im on 15/500mg Co-codamol, does anyone know if i can do/take anything else? Im at my witts end, im in pain lying, sitting, standing and walking (if you can call it walking)!
This might hurt a little at first.... Try looking up Yoga for back pain but also Yoga for Pregnant women (some moves you can't do while pregnant). Do as many of them as you can a 2-6 times a day. When the pain starts to go away continue doing them 1-2 times a day until delivery. I had really bad pains with DS1 just from being pregnant and I ended up paying for a prego Yoga class.
Happylea, I am so sorry you hurt your back! Back pain is so awful. Can you get a massage or go to a chiropractor? Those things might help? My DH gets back pain a lot, and he takes muscle relaxers (I would bet you can't take those when pregnant) and he alternates heat and ice. I hope something works for you soon--I know how hard it is looking after 3 kids while pregnant, and being in pain on top of that sounds just miserable! :hugs:
I am doing the alternating hot/cold thing at moment. DH has managed to get tomorrow off work which is fab. If its not eased by tomorrow i will have to go to either A&E or a chiropractor. I would much rather have full blown labour pain than the pain im in now, at least you know you will be rewarded with a sweet baby at the end of it.
If i wasnt pregnant a nice bit of alcohol to take the edge of the pain away would be nice :D
DH just gonna make me something to eat and then im gonna take myself off to bed to see if i can find a comfier position.
BACK PAIN SUCKS!!!!
I feel like such a failure as a mother today. I got stuck at the grocery store (all the debit and credit machines were broken, so the line-ups were crazy), and I ended up being 10 minutes late to pick ds3 up at preschool. I did call to tell them, but not until it was the actual pick-up time, so they didn't get the message until after he'd stood at the door watching for me only to have me not arrive. When I finally did get there, he was at the window watching for me, sobbing so hard he could barely breathe. It truly broke my heart that I hurt him like that! He's not even 3 yet, and I'm always trying to teach him that mommy always come back...and then I didn't come. I know it's only 10 minutes, but I'm sure to him it felt like an eternity. I brought him out for a special lunch and gave him tons of treats, but now that I have him down for his nap, I'M the one crying like a baby! :sad:
aww bless thats totally understandable, I felt guilty like that when I first enrolled my daughter to nursery she was 1 and a half and because she was the only child then I thought it would be beneficial for her to spend a few hours a week with other children in a learning environment and the first few weeks were so hard, I felt so guilty leaving her there and she'd cry but now she just loves her nursery and shes learned so much, we all have days when nothing goes right, don't be so hard on yourself and you're not a failure you're great mum :heart:Quote:

Usually he yells out 'Mommy!' and leaps into my arms the second he sees me. By the time all the other kids were gone the teachers realised I must have been delayed, but the damage had already been done and he was inconsolable. Aw, darn...now I'm crying again!
are you sure you haven't got a slipped disc? or it could be sciatica because thats what I have but that's nerve pain, if you got the pain suddenly it could be slipped disc? I'm not sure, but with Sciatica sometimes the pain is so bad for me that I can't walk even a few steps and the pain is in my butt and hip lower back and inside leg. Its a sharp shooting pain.Quote:

I was devastated. We went to her classroom and her teacher saw me and mouthed "she doesn't know" so I just told her she did a great job.
But then we got the DVD of the program and as all the kids are filing in you see them all spotting parents and waving, and I can see my DD2 just craning her neck looking around for us ... it breaks my heart that we weren't there for her, even though she thinks she just missed seeing us :sad:
It'll be OK but I understand your heartache... this was 3 weeks ago for me and I could still cry about it.
Oh, begonia - that's so sad too! We're silly, though, aren't we? Our kids have the attention span of a flea and probably forget about this stuff immediately after it happens, and for some reason we keep brooding over these things and drive ourselves crazy. Mommy guilt is the worst!
Mocha, your poor DS! :( I bet he is over it now, though. And it isn't like you never came back, you were just late. Try not to beat yourself up over it. :hugs:
begonia, if your DD doesn't know, then don't ever tell her! You got off easy on that one!
Mocha... poor little man who knows what he was thinking! DS1 wants to go to school so bad... he is the one who will miss dada and grandma. DS2 is such a mamas boy I know he would never let me go when he realizes I am dropping him off at school. Being late would be the end of the world to him. DS2 currently misses me if I am out of sight for a slit second.
Oh Mocha, I hate stuff like that too. I remember I went to get DS1 at nursery (he is 4, almost 5) and I went out to the buggy to check on DS2 and he must have lost me in the crowd of parents. I panicked when I couldn't see him and ran back but by that time he was crying hysterically and another mum was looking for me. It was only for a minute but he is SUCH a sensitive soul that I felt so awful and he still talks about it now because it gave him such a fright.
Thanks, ladies. My twins were actually much clingier than ds3, who's a very independeng little guy. Maybe that's why this has affected me so much - it takes a lot for him to cry.
You just reminded me, though, of a time one of my older boys got lost at a giant indoor playground. I was sitting in the toddler area with ds3, who was just a baby at the time, and my twins got separated then one got turned around and couldn't figure out how to get back to me. He was 2 floors up screaming out of one of the mesh windows overlooking the lobby screaming for Mommy, but since I was in a different area I couldn't hear him. When I realized I hadn't seen him crawl by in a while I went looking for him and found a crowd gathered in the lobby below him trying to calm him down. I felt terrible, yet I'm sure he doesn't remember it at all now.
Oh Mocha...that breaks my heart! I hate that feeling. I am super sensitive to my kids that way too. Always the first mom to pick them up.
Could I get any of you lovely ladies to peek at my new nub shots I got today? Pretty please? :)
