Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ January

[deaks66]

Gosh so much to catch up on in just one day or so! We have had some poorlyness in our household so struggled to get on propery yesterday.

Feeling sorry for all you ladies either feeling yucky or stressed. Babymad, Kell and littlemiss i hope things improve very soon!

Maybe hows your Bp??

Sunset, omg such gorgeous pics...you look amazing and little serena is just gorg!!! Oh and think i might take decongestants daily...did you go the zyrtec or sudafed route? If so just one per day?

Inglewood, not sure what time your scan was but im so excited for you and hope you can post some pics! Jealous that you guys are able to go sledging (well your boys anyway!)

Charlie, glad the headache has subsided! Loving the popcorn baby kicks!

My ph is 3.8. Think i may have to relax some supps but then i dont know, perhaps its a good thing its this low now as i could bd through ov or at least not be so worried about timing.

Inglewood how quickly did your ph increase when you went from 3 to 2 acidiphilus? and how much did it increase by?

Getting excited about next weeks attempt. Not bothering to do opks early or stick them down on paper.... all a bit rediculous after a yerar of doing it. Not taking temp daily either and feeling much more normal again.

Much love to you all X

sorry to anyone else that I missed I got preggy brain already.

Deaks Bleeding has stopped now so I would say it was 3.5 days of spotting altogether. So not long enough to be an early period I don't think and didn't get heavy at all but enough to need a panty liner. FX it was Ovulation spotting and nothing to worry about.

I like your layed back approach this month. With a PH that low and antihistamines I would def BD through OV but I'm not a great believer in timing or it would be really easy to get yur DG if it was just that simple. I have to say it was nice not using OPK's this month.

Great news about no gelatine in the sups and looks like they have worked for you too with such a great PH!

Hi all I am 33 weeks tomorrow it has gone so fast! Bp is ok but starting to swell up a bit now.

Sunset love your photos! You do look young!

Deeks fx this is your last month of swaying!

Charlie if I get off the sofa it's a good day, never mind baking!

My dh is being a saint at the moment. Really looking after me and found us a cleaner. Hopefully she will come next week but oh the shame of her seeing our pig sty lifestyle! I feel really lucky as he is sweet and kind and a great dad, just wish he had some money sense too!

I am still working up to 38 weeks! Making lots of mistakes now and slowing down in productivity. Good job I'm not a brain surgoen!

Indigo you still look modal thin to me! I'm sure the slimmer you are the sooner you show so it's all really good news baby is growing more.

Inglewood I am hankering after a new car but will resist. I have a zafria but it's old now so the middle seat has a lap belt so I don't like using that one. My childminder has a grand voyager which looks great. Oh for a two seater sports car!

Oh im so glad the bleeding has stopped! Have you been temping? has there been a rise to show that ov has definately taken place?

Im still not sure about bding through ov...think i will stick to o+12 this month as planned and then maybe next month...eek! But if ph stays low, at least i wont have to fret about doing it slightly to early

thanks hon, I guess it is good but I do really feel enormous and one of my running friends (who is used to seeing me in lycra (!) did guess yesterday based on my hugeness....I wouldn't mind but I'm so scared of telling people before I know all is OK at the 12 week scan.

Praying your bp stays at a sensible level. I'm so impressed at how long you are working, really takes some effort to keep going so long. Great that your DH is being super dad/husband at the mo, just what you need, long may he keep it up! see you soon

[indigoviolet]

Deaks, sounds like a good plan not taking temps etc, being relaxed definitely helped me get pg this time (with ds2 took Sooooo long as I was just too obsessed). hope this is your last attempt FX FX!!!

Hi all, what an exhausting day!

Didn't get sledging since the schools aren't off it was closed till tea time.....gutted for them (thankffully they didn't know). So we went to a HUGE crazy golf place and they LOVED it!! Followed by Burger King where we told them about the scan! They we so excited! Went to the scan and she said straight away twin 2 was a GIRL! she was lying on top of twin 1!! lol who was squashed into my placenta (poor wee soul). She then said both GIRLS!!!!! and we got an 8min dvd, Cd of pics, and 2 colour A4 pics, one of each baby. Although twin 1 was covering her face with her arm alot. Dh wasn't impressed to part with £122 for what we saw (only in 20mins) but I got my better comfirmation of GIRLS and the boys loved it, so to me it was worth it!! She said they look healthy and I will post the pics from the CD tomorrow as I'm knackered!

After the scan the boys choose a mini build a bear for them and an outfit, they choose some games etc with their xmas money,then out for Dinner! So a wonderful day!

Sorry this is an all about my day post, but really need to get boys school stuff ready then off to bed.....

Will catch up tom and hope ur all well? xx

Hi everyone - just jumping back in as I've been poorly with a sickness bug. I've managed to catch one each pregnancy and thought I'd got away with it this time but no, it was awful and I've never been so sick - and DH wasn't here so the boys had to pretty much look after themselves!! Feeling more normal today, just left with a cough which is very painful because I've pulled all my tummy muscles! Nice quiet day at home with DS3 methinks
