UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

[Petal]

Hi ladies, hope you all had a great christmas!! we had a lovley day, the boys were good :-) lol.
Ah sunset, ive been stalking you on fb, glad you are doing well and got out of hosp for xmas day! I know how you feel about the comments, they really do make you mad dont they!! We all went to lay some flowers on my nans grave xmas eve and i bumped into a retired work collegue, she came over to see us as she hasnt met ds3 and said how lovely he was.. and then said 'hope you have better luck next time and get a girl'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so shocked, i seriously thought now id had him that the comments would stop but no. I just replied that we got what we wanted..3 healthy children. And at a graveyard ffs!!!! some people!

On a brighter note, wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2012!!! and may it bring many more bfp's :-) Ive eaten soo much i think i may have to dig out my maternity jeans lmao.

Love to you all x x x

Petal ~ omg, I am SO SORRY that lady said something as horrific as that to you!!! that's not ok! I remember when i had ds2 the comments continued until he was about 1 years old well done on your comeback comment! hopefully it gave her something to think about!

Kell ~ I was back in hospital yesterday for a bp profiling which went really well i've only got mild pre-eclampsia at the moment and my bp is well under control with the meds so they're happy for me to go for twice weekly bp checks and then next week i've got an appointment to see the consultant to discuss delivery, but because i've had 2 natural deliveries they've said that if i don't get worse they're probably gonna let me go into labour naturally fx!!

Zanacal ~ big sigh to name comments!!!! that's the reason we haven't told anyone what names we're considering (other than you ladies of course). I found it so annoying when i was expecting ds1 how everyone had an opinion on names so when i fell pregnant with ds2 i decided not to reveal our choice of names and haven't done so in this pregnancy either. with ds1 I really liked Josef and I remember telling my MIL and she went on to give me a 30 minute lecture on how she didn't like the name and it reminded her of some relative bla bla bla.. right turn off! People do tend to get a bit offended when they ask and I answer "yes we've decided on names, but we're not telling" but hey ho, i don't want people's opinions unless they've got good things to say iykwim.

Charliespy ~ please don't say that lol I couldn't sleep last night they were so uncomfortable so i can't imagine weeks of false contractions thing is that i know i have BH contractions with the amount of times i've been strapped to a CTG monitor this pregnancy, i just can't feel them but the ones i had yesterday were regular and i could feel them, they just didn't progress.. it's very new to me because with both boys I was never aware of a single tightening until one day, BANG! baby is on the way hopefully though this little baba will want to stay in for another 5 days so i can have a full term delivery
when is your next scan?

Deaks ~ of course you're gonna be having a baby in 2012! can't wait for the day you announce your bfp news! are you still gonna sway in 2012?

Hi ladies,back again been a busy bee! i have been reading snippets from this forum here and there (when i've had the chance) , i haven't been able to follow the diet strictly but have done what i could, ie restricted salt intake, no caffeine (which has been hard as i used to live on red bull literally + have suffered some awful headaches) + obviously have been taking all vits, i've charted ov and initially made 1 attempt...several pg tests later nothing then af arrived 4 days late! wasnt too disheartened + carried on planning this months attempt was a bit more stricter with the diet , wooden spoon+pink ribbon under the bed, felt ov pain ,charted cm + planned the time of my attempt , christmas eve which my chart also said was a new moon! i've got everything crossed , due af 7th/8th jan. Since yesterday ive been very bloated, backache in lower back + really bad tender breasts. How is evryone else doing? Have you all had a great xmas? Is anyone due af/bfp near my date? x

Hiya everyone, Sunset glad little lady is staying put for a while longer! Did you think boy or girl this time round from Day 1?
With DS2 I thought girl just as thats what I thought most people had after a boy lol. Just been reading about gender guesses and if your urine is pale yellow or darker, mine changes between the 2 lol! Im thinking boy though still for this one. Always thought Id have 3 boys so maybe my 4th would be a girl.


Hope everyone else had a fab christmas. I enjoyed the food but paid for it slightly as was soo bloated!

I see the midwife on Thursday but my protein seems to be better today. Feel better too but really tierd and in heartburn hell! Working from home tomorrow so up for 7am. So want to start maternity leave now :-(

Anyone hit the sales yet? I braved Guildford today - it was rammo! So much for people being skint!

[Kell]

I spent 4 hours with my little sister in Cambridge today, she spent a fortune while I played chief fashion advisor! I did make her buy me lunch for taking her as its about an hour from home!

I didn't have a clue with ds1 about his sex, ds2 I had a feeling but more because of similar cravings and pregnancies, this one I do think girl but I'm not sure if that's because I want it so bad, altho the sickness and massive boobs are also swaying my thoughts.

Maybe- glad you are feeling a bit better, hope results on thurs are good. Can't believe you braved guildford! did you get anything good?

Sunset- hope your little one stays put for another few days FX, you must be so excited to meet her! Can't wait to see the pics!

Deaks- your bfp news will come sooner than you think I'm sure!

charlie- how are you feeling now? Hope the sickness is staying away.

Babymad- have a wonderful time away, relax and enjoy!

Petal- just can't believe that comment! Thank goodness we can vent here and 'collect' all the good comebacks for when we need them! Your son is a treasure and I'm glad you are enjoying him so much

[indigoviolet]

Chocolate- when are you putting your pg ticker up?! Are you feeling pg / do you believe it yet? I still don't really lol even though am sick as a dog!

Fx for a BFP! Deaks and myself will be hoping for our bfp around early January. I don't know when I ovulated as I missed my surge so will test on Friday and then every 3 days until BFP or AF. I've had back ache to but my whole back. But have no clue if it's related i'm symptom spotting like crazy!! And every twinge I'm thinking ooh maybe that's implantation....

Maybe I've done some online sale shopping and braving town tomorrow as have some vouchers to spend also have to get my dad a present his birthday is on the 1st of Jan.

I've been trying to teach our cats (Valentine and Rocket) to use a cat flap today that DP put into the wall today. They haven't really taken to the concept very well! Off to chuck them out again in a minute, they're very homely and are only about 8 months old but think it's time for them to venture out more.
