UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

[maybebabythree]

So sorry sunset. How bad is it? If they don't induce asap then maybe you could ask to go home just for Xmas morning. When I had it me and few other ladies did beg for discharge and get it. But in my case I was seen by a midwife daily at home and on bp beds and complete bed rest. I only made about three four days before is was caught and admitted again. But I had no kids to run around after back then. If your doing the 24 hour wee thing then you might be induced before that. From what I saw if you was asked to collect your wee you was induced or sectioned the next day. Fx it really stinks I know but the main thing right now is yours and baby's health x

Yes I'm hoping she will be on the mend for christtmas day, she said she feels better already. Sunset sorry your having a tough time, hope u get to celbrate christmas with your kids one way or another and you manage to enjoy some of it x

Hey, sorry Charlie dont worry, I think its more to do with sugar levels and stuff but the hurdle being getting pregnant etc.

Sad news - my friend's pregnancy stopped at 6 weeks, she is 9 weeks by dates and is just waiting for the miscarriage to start. Sad times!!


Well, I got a positive test result this evening, at 9dpo???!!!Quads?! I said ov pains were so bad and both sides!
I have posted a thread on the main section but am not hopeful as temps are sinking a lot, but Im ok, Im not getting excited as know how often and easily chemicals/miscarriages happen, especially after my friend's loss today. Will not be telling her for as long as possible, not the thing you want to hear whilst waiting to miscarry. Timing sucks!

Congrats!! Great news x

Evening ladies,

Chocolate yay congrats hope you have a happy and healthy nine months

Sunset i was supposed to take iron tablets with dd but midwife was happy with me taking spa tone instead a very good iron supplement but without the side effects of an iron tablet, might be worth asking about.

Indigo your swedish christmas on 24th sounds great we also have a second christmas on 6th January for ukraninan christmas where all the family comes together for a 12 course meal!! Have to say though the first course is a tiny square piece of bread and I dont like all the courses so dont eat it all~!!!

Thats good to know as my iron levels are always low in pg and I get very dizzy and out of breath...where did you buy them?

Morning all, nipped away from work early today, had time in leiu and work was quiet

Petal, I will tell most people after my 4d scan, told girls at work they couldn't tell us yet, so decided to wait for my 4d. But last night a workmate said that they make more mistakes saying 'girls' that turn out to be boys!!!! OMG! talk about panic, I was worried as it was, now I'm super desp for my scan on 28th Dec, 10th Jan and then my 4d to have it confirmed or not again and again. She didn't mean anything by it, was just saying to me she can understand I didn't want to know till my 4d. She was the ONLY one at work that knew I was kinna 'swaying' only because she's the girl that successfully did it herself after 2 boys and told me where to start! You must be so proud of ur boy!! Famous!!! x

Chocolate, I'd be like u googling daft and temping, but try not to worry! Charlie's right, maybe stop and just occupy urself with xmas till ur results which I'm sure will be fine

Sunset, think my workmate did/does maybe have GD, although her boys are 14, 17, 20... Really hope I'm proving her wrong this time FX, still too scared to believe they might be girls, actually terrifies me to believe it and they have got it wrong!

Babymad, Sorry to hear ur sick bing sick That's a shame. Were u sick this long with the boys?? Can't believe ur 17wks now!!! will u ask in 3 wks the sex? When is ur 20wk scan?

Ds2 has his school party today, so gonna make myself useful by ironing his clothes. No piont in going to bed, boys will be up in an hour, will wait and go once they are at school.

Catch up later ladies, I'm 21wks today!! 2 bananas!!! Yeh!! have a good day! x

Thanks hun x I was this sick with the boys so not surprised but its still hard going! I am hoping not to find out, thinking bubs will be a boy and I would prefer to wait until he arrives to know rather then be upset for 20 weeks knowing....I have always bonded instantly with my boys so feel lucky but we did find out with DS2 (I knew he was boy as soon as i did the pg test!) and I had a difficult 20 weeks so I don't want to repeat that! If I thought bubs could be a girl I probably would find out but our attempt was boy and girl friendly and not hard core swaying so chances of pink are slim!
I was looking through the NEXT sale Preview yest and looked at the baby clothes as I have given all mine away! and it did pull at my heart when I saw all the girls things.....
I will be looking out for signs though at my 20 week scan so will keep you posted!!
Has it sunk in yet that you are having girls....!!!!

Yes unfortunately it's only going to get worse and the only treatment is delivery so I've been told to prepare for an induction within the next week/ week and a half.. I just can't believe there's a chance I won't get to celebrate christmas with my boys it's enough to make the water works start.. I'm such an emotional wreck at the moment

Oh Sunset you poor thing! You must feel so upset...lots of hugs xx I hope they decide whats best soon so you know whats happening. Take care of you and bump and keep us posted. Thinking of you xxx

Hi Everyone

Finally got round to catching up on posts!

Lavender & Deaks ~ I hope you both get your +OPK's soon and FX for Xmas BFP's!!

Petal ~ Lovely to hear from you and so nice to hear how much you are enjoying your little man - he is gorgeous x

I hope everyone is coping with MS as best they can and I hope everyones bumps are doing well

The boys finished school today....Yippeeeee!!!!!! I am officially knackered and ready for a rest tomorrow

I have recently got to know one of the mums in the village as her son is the same age as DS3 and she is a MW - she popped in today for a cuppa and bought her doppler with her so I got to hear bubs HB which was great

I hope everyone is ready for Santa - last bit of wrapping tonight and fresh food shop tomorrow and then I'm done!

Sunset~ think of it this way..if you can't be with your boys on Christmas you are in the process of giving them the BEST gift ever..a beautiful baby sister.

Inglewood~ THose babies ARE GIRLS!!! And I would not tell anyone at all (besides my mother) let them all wait with their annoying comments. Then your birth announcement can go like this: "Oh Boy" (picture of DS 1, "Oh Boy" picture of DS2, It's GIRLS!!!!! or The GIRLS are here!!! with picture of the girls....

So my doc put me on CLomid, and I will have follicle check for my cycle in January and get a Ovidrel injection- Maybe I can join you and have twins too!! Ha would love it....

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments! It means a lot! I'll update you all more tomorrow when I've spoke to the consultant

Maybebaby ~ thank you for sharing your experience! I don't know how bad it is at the moment. The blood pressure medication seems to be working by keeping my blood pressure under control which I think is what's most important right now? They did a protein count on tuesday which came back as 19.5 with anything under 20 being considered normal but today my protein count has gone up to 88 so it is definitely without a doubt pre eclampsia hopefully I should know more tomorrow after the u/s and meeting with the consultant.. But basically all they've said is they won't let me go beoynd 37 weeks (10 days). It all suddenly became so real!
