UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

[Sunset]

Hi ladies! I have a packet waiting for me at the delivery office. Unfortunately I was picking ds1 up from nursery when they came knocking on the door.. hoping it's my SS! exciting

I also went to midwife drop-in clinic this morning and my blood pressure was fine today so it must have been a one off. I had been rushing that morning to get to my appointment on time so perhaps that had something to do with it. I've got another midwife appointment on tuesday so hopefully my bp stays low

Inglewood ~ I don't have to be pregnant to get them sort of comments lol it's just for me to walk out the door with my boys lol. Usually I don't mind the comments and just brush them off, but every now and then there's some bitter old lady who has to make it sounds so negative to have 2 young children and be pregnant with my 3rd and that's what gets to me! I hate when people make it out to be a "chore". at the end of the day it was my choice to have 3 children and to have them close in age
I feel sorry for your with your ds and his friend situation.. can't be easy for your ds and very tricky for you since that boys mum is your friend.. ((hug))

Kell ~ Lucky you! everywhere seems to have snow apart from here even Newcastle has got snow and that's only 50 minutes up the road..

Chocolate ~ I don't have it downloaded on my computer unfortunately, but I have it on paper in a folder and if you'd like I could send you a copy?

I got my Secret santa!! Thank u! Haven't opened it, put it under the tree.......

Sunset, no snow here either 15miles up the road could be thick with it, but I think living by the sea stops it lying with all the salt in the air! Glad ur Bp is behaving!! And I agree with what u said, it's our choice and some people need to remember they were prob younger parents than we are now. Funny how yrs ago (that woman's generation!), you were a old mum mid twenties, then it was into 30's now older mum's are over 40! Funny how society changes. Like u, I don't care, I was a mum at 23, when I wanted to be and felt ready to be a mum! x

Just popping in opks seem to be fading in again phew! Do you ladies normally test 3 times a day in the lead up to O? I've only got 4 digitals left, I've ordered some more but they prob won't arrive until monday. Really don't want to miss the start of my surge but don't want to run out of digi's either! I don't temp and have no clue what my cm is doing as there isn't much. But would say it's a bit EW??

So think I might test with a cheapie after work and see how dark it is and then maybe test with a digi. Today is normally when I get a +OPk... but nothing is normal when your swaying is it!! lol

[Lavenderlime]

This is why O+12 is a PITA and I don't even really believe that much in timing!! Damn it!

Inglewood ~ shame, i hope we both get some snow over christmas at least Unfortunately there are always going to be judgemental people out there and I always think to myself when people try and put my situation down and make it sound like something bad that that's clearly how they experienced parenthood and has nothing to do with me.. I just think it's sad that there are so many bitter people out there!

Inglewood ~ I only used the cheapie opk's and only tested 1 or twice a day over ov. Hopefully you'll get your +opk soon!

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.

HUGS hun - answer is i didnt cope really lol - this pregnancy has been the hardest DH has been pulling his weight as much as possible but still the house is a tip, food and dinners are often takeouts and I try and nap whenever ds3 is napping. The hot water thing made a big difference to me THANKS inglewood I can still only drink hot cranberry oceanspray squash and sometimes a glass of tonic water....thats it! Cucumber helps a little, rich tea biscuits. Start taking fish oil - my colonic friend recommended this as my constipation got so bad i was only going once a week (sorry TMI) but since starting that it is much better x try and rest when possible x

deaks - yay for good ph FX for your attempt x x BFP BFP x x

sunset - lol i always get comments about being young - at work they asked random customers how old i was i think the general age was 18 WHOOP haha so when regulars see me with 3 kids they nearly choke on their coffee, i get more comments about having 3 boys though - like how do you cope!

inglewood glad you have calmed down a bit x in laws grrrrrrrrr

We could never have afforded high tech and for me i dont think i could do it x i always believed my MC baby was a girl as my morning sickness was so so bad but who knows if I have another boy I will be gutted but I will be done so no more wondering and wishing will just get on with my crew

Schools out thankgod I HATE the school run in the winter it makes me want to cry lol luckily i have the car fridays as it was snowing this morning - melted now but still cold and wet. Roll on xmas now

Charlie, Fx it's not long till the M/S eases!! I can say this was my worst sickness pg also! Hope ur constipation eases off soon too. I also had it bad alongside the M/s, so cruel! But once I started eating normally agian it went away (mostly). So are ur schools finished for xmas?? Ours don't finish till 23rd! Luckily I can leave the house at 8.55am and still be on time!

I spend ALL day wrapping prezzie's....not even for the boys!! Everyone else! I am knackered, so much so I can't face Asda tonight!! Gonna have a go at online shopping later....wish me luck!!! lol x

[zanacal]

I still have all my presents to wrap - DH is away on his work's Christmas do tomorrow night so it seems a good time to force myself to do it but I really hate doing it. I wish I had a wrapping fairy!!
