UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

[chocolate]

Sunset numb fingers aren't good when we have little ones to get dressed and in this cold weather!

Well Im still waiting to ovulate! Had a week of fertile ish signs and then its all stopped, now cervix has gone back to hard and closed, cd17 - I ovulated on cd17 last month, but usually as late as cd 19/20. Ideally I wanted to ovulate Thursday at the latest to beat the full moon that is coming saturday or sunday but never mind. Off to Butlins so will do lots of walks by the beach, no computer and take my rock salt lamp to have on at night.

Does anyone know if its a full moon with positive ions, does that now mean to avoid being outside or will it still be beneficial for fresh air,will there be any negative ions still?

Deaks ~ I agree with Inglewood, you are so lucky to know how to use a sewing machine I've tried numerous times, but i'm just plain terrible! Has your friend had the gender confirmed then? is it definitely a girl? I can definitely understand your mixed emotions!

Yes definately a girl. So pleased for her truly but also so very jealous! Sorry to hear about your numb fingers, i hope inglewoods suggestions will help. Wont be long now til you can swop all these symtoms for snuggles with baby S! X

ZANACAL~ Didn't know the best thread to post for you, but I know your over here with the smog ladies...I know tomorrow is your scan and wanted to wish you a LOTS and LOTS of LUCK!!!!! I'm excited for you.....
I had my first attempt and I am hoping for a BFP for Christmas. I am 12 dpo and getting negatives but my temp is sky high! FF says I can test tomorrow...so I'm hoping you get PINK news and I get a BFP!!! (pink, of course)!

Hi ladies,

Sunset - hugs for your DS bless him x loved the pics with their treats x numb fingers suck I got them with ds3 all down one arm too - like inglewood said carpal tunnel - acupuncture can help not sure if the doctors will suggest anything - i found it was worse if i slept on my arm funny x

Deaks - yay for sewing - i love sewing and using my machine i made xmas decorations for all my friends kids and mine with their initials on this year HUGS for the friend finding out she is having a girl x I hope in the not so distant future it is you x x

H&G - fx fx fx for your BFP how was your attempt??

maybe - ahhhh the ritual of out doing each other in the school productions or even the competitions it gets on my nerves too. Normally at ds school they run a bauble competition supposidly made by the student....haha not likely some of them one year there was a crocheted xmas pudding!!

Zanacal - GOOD LUCK for tomorrow

oooh the farm you ladie have mentioned sounds great too will have a look at that maybe for another time x we didnt have a proper holiday last year 4 nights in wells so even though will struggle to pay this i booked it as its a long time off fx we will put money aside!! Cant wait

Oh and GUESS WHAT...found babies heartbeat with my doppler!!!! Cant believe am so so happy feel much more positive now!!

Ohh Charliespy I'm soooooo happy for you! what a relief! not long now until your scan either! have you had anymore spotting? funny that, it's the same for me if I sleep on my arm. This morning when i woke up I couldn't feel my left hand at all.. it was like touching someone elses hand :/ but as soon as i got up and started my day the feeling returned. it's only when i wake up that my fingers are numb. i've never had carpal tunnel syndrome before! didn't even know that's what it's called. I'm seeing my midwife next week so i'm gonna ask her about it then, but according to the NHS website it's common in pregnancy because of fluid retention which sounds about right since i'm storing the entire pacific ocean in my hands and feet alone at the moment

Inglewood ~ i don't get any pains with it luckily, but it's a bit scary when i wake up and my fingers are numb. Luckily it goes away quite quickly when i start moving my hands about. Glad you got the beanbag sorted, what a nightmare!

Lavenderlime ~ bless hun I saw your status on FB that's just horrible and so unfair this close to christmas and all! have you rang and spoke to them to see if perhaps it's a mistake? ((hugs))

Indigoviolet ~ how are you feeling today?

Zanacal ~ good luck tomorrow! I'm very excited for you and I'll be wearing pink to show my support tomorrow! hope you're not too nervous and managed to get some sleep tonight! sending you pink dust!!!!

Chocolate ~ how frustrating! I hope you ov soon!! i don't know about the full moon thing to be honest but i would assume even though it's full moon and all it's still better to be outdoors than indoors. it just means there will be more +ions in the air, but you can definitely not escape +ions in the house either and at least outdoors you have the benefit of fresh air/wind.

Big hello to anyone i've missed!

[charlieispy]

still spotting but so much happier now - text DH and he phoned me straight away

[zanacal]

Aww, charlie, I'm so glad for you. What a relief!

Thanks all for your good lucks - it is what it is now so I'll just have to deal with it either way but I'm definitely looking forward to getting this scan out of the way! My tummy is full of butterflies because I have no idea which way it will go - one minute I'm quite hopeful for a girl and the next I'm certain it couldn't possibly be and I'm constantly playing out both scenarios in my mind. I'm well and truly loopy Sunset - I keep thinking what it'll be like if the baby doesn't co-operate and I have to go back like you did. It must have been torture!!
