UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

[chocolate]

Hi everyone, only managed to read the last 2 pages Im afraid.
But petal I hope bubs gets a wriggle on for you, DS1 arrived on his due date and DS2 missed his due date by 2 hours!
I did find sex may have been the key, heard sperm acts like an induction gel, and also did lots of bouncing on my birthing ball to try to get the head to engage etc.

Deaks, sorry you think af is on the way. Not looking forward to all the ups and downs of ttc again, although once the babies are here its all forgotten about.

My work hours may be reducing so claiming m. allowance may alter, so crossed my mind to ttc early but that would mean dieting over christmas and Im quite stressy right now, would like a bigger age gap etc. so now is just not practical right now un-fortunately. Fingers crossed Im still working enough to claim the full amount come April time.

Its DS1's first birthday Monday, so need to bake his cake today, hopefully catch up with this thread over the next few days

Thanks Kell but we already have a train table - and I'm trying to get rid of it because it takes up so much room and is always piled high with other toys instead of railway track! That's a good bargain you've found though

Thanks Doulamama, im going to see my midewife wednesday and discss things with her, just thinking of my ds1's birth make my stomach flip! horrible. I didnt have a drip, just a gel thing on my cervix, once in the evening and another 12 hours later, i didnt have him until 9pm that night with no pain relief. The midwife was horrible, i was crying and begging for an epidural but because the delivery suite was full i was told she was more than capable to deliver me in the labour ward and they moved everyone else out, she basically told me that i got myself pregnant and that 'this is what happens' in labour. My dh took her outside and had a go at her after that. Ds1's heart rate dropped, i was jabbed with a needle and cut open! After his birth she told my dh how i was her star pupil blah blah, i wont repeat the words that ran through my mind!! Then i was put on the ward and left with my baby who i had no clue what to do with, i was 20. I rang the buzzer a while later and asked for a bottle to feed him, and was told 'the bottles are down the corridor'!! THEN the next morning at 8am dh came in and he was told off because he wasnt allowed to visit until 3pm!!! i ended up getting out of my bed very sore after all the stiches and taking ds1 down to the day room to see dh! I hated every second of that place and that will haunt me forever as i couldnt bond with my baby :-(((
Anyway ds2's birth was perfect, laboured at home, got to hosp at 6cm, got my epidural, he was born and everything was perfect :-)
Come on ds3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Sorry for yet another rant haha.
We are off out to a firework show soon, trying to do as much with the boys as possible this week bless them x

Sorry not to read everyones posts before writing but feeling sad and confused.

Got a faint line very quickly on an ic this morning. This afternoon popped in at asda to pick up a better brand of test and whilst i was poas, my af started. However i got a faint line appear very quickly again. What do you think has happened? Do you think its because my LP was only 10.5 days? Could implantation have failed to happen in time?

ohno deaks - has the line definately got colour?? And is it definately your AF not just spotting x HUGS lady, my LP used to be 10 days and I got pregnant although i did have a chemical too x much love

petal - wow your first birth and after care sounds horrendous big love to you x DS2 birth sounds much better lets hope ds3 birth is even better come on wee man!!!

[charlieispy]

Anyone heard of this old wives theory?? The hair line at the nap of the neck of your last baby is supposed to reveal the next babies sex?? An italian girl works with DH she always says ds1 and ds2 have the pointed down hair (in the middle) on the nape of the neck = next baby will be a boy, which is correct ds2 and ds3. ds3 has a straight hair line she has always says this means the next baby will be a girl.....just wondering if this is true for any of you....i know its all a little crazy fun though!!

[deaks66]

Hi hun, the blood is a definate flow not spotting but there is a fair bit of brown and red not just red. As for the opk i did i think the line does have colour... will photograph it in some daylight tomorrow as my camera wont focus very well in the eve. Holding my wee to do a clearable digi this eve and will then do another in the morning. If they come up neg not gonna fret anymore but if they come up bfp then might get myself to a doc tomorrow to get some tests done. Is that what you would do?

[charlieispy]

With my chemical i got a faint line on a FRER very faint but definately there then AF arrived - i didnt bother with doctor, however if you are worried about your LP I would book an appointment x for the bleeding hun x some people do have a light AF in early pregnancy - if your lines come up again or get darker it might be viable x x

[charlieispy]

see what your temps do too as they are still high x

[deaks66]

Just done a clearblue digi and it has come up pregnant 1-2 weeks. Have called the out of hours doctors surgery and they are going to call me back. Feel so sad that i could be miscarrying a baby and wish there was something i could do.
