I can't go near codeine, it sends me completely off my face Sorry, I don't know if it's ok or not x

[charlieispy]

maybe - i just wanted to a) GORGEOUS GORGEOUS bubby boy, b) your beautiful post it so true and i know you are right and c) ds1 & 3 have the dimple you write about - ds1 is a deep one, ds2 has a Y bum as in his bum crack splits in 2 both are signs of spina bifida but none of my boys have it if that makes sense x I just wanted to give you some reassurance that it can be sign but not it x also ds2 had enlarged ventricles in his brain another sign of SB but is a perfectly healthy boy. Sounds like 'dave' is too but I know it is still worrying i hope all the tests come back 100% healthy x x

I can't take the 30/500 as like Z it sends me loopy!! The 8/500 I can only take half the daily dose or I can't go to the loo!! (sorry if tmi). But wondered if I took maybe 2 a day when I am at my worst pain if that would be ok. A friend took 8 x8/500 a day from 30 until 38wks pg then told to cut back b4 baby was born as it can make them sleepy. I plan to only take maybe 2-4 tabs a day. Got doc appt for thurs, so will see then. Thanks!! x

Anyone ever take low strength Co-codamol in 3rd trimester? My back is REALLY bad and I read it can cause breathing prob's with baby?? Wondering if I should call Gp and see if it can be prescribed?

I was advised not to take them in 3rd trimester as it can affect babies breathing when born x would be worth asking your doctor or pharmacist x

Hi everyone, just wanted to say hi and Ive been trying to catch up.

Charlie - glad you've been signed off, hope it helps and you start to feel better soon.

Ive been having really good days but then a few bad days, not really gender related, but of course I find a way to blame it back to being gender/male related.
DS1 had a lovely tantrum whilst out earlier in front of friends, 1 of whom I really like but she is just so judgemental. Just having a day of feeling a bit deflated and not particularly enjoying my life or where its heading, doing the dogs body work while OH gets to bugger off and focus on his high flying career and gets a nice £15k company car and of course Im raising 'his' prize 'boys' and getting the brunt of their bad behaviour. Sorry just a crap day today but I know I have a lot to be grateful for, boys are just giving me hard time with tantrums and demands and waking me in the night and early and dealing with it all alone, and work blah blah. Really hope tomorrow is better!

Maybe - my friends baby had a dimple but turned out it wasn't s.bifida, don't know much about it but all scary stuff but like you said he is poo'ing and waving legs so hope all is well xx

Inglewood, big hugs, hope you feel better soon xx

Talking about bg etc. its funny because on my dads side only the people who have PCOS like me, running in them, even if they are a male PCOS carrier, we all have boys. My aunty had PCOS and had 2 boys who each had 2 boys. My other aunty doesnt have PCOS but had a girl. My brother has no PCOS signs and has 2 girls. Not suprised there!

Im taking co-codamol at the mo, have been for a couple of weeks to help with the pain of pulling my muscles in my stomach from coughing. I'm in the third trimester and the gp never mentioned to me about any probs with the baby!?
Let me know what they say x

[Babymad]

Hi girls....

How is everyone?

Sunset ~ hope your little man is better soon x
Deaks ~ lovely to hear from you, how's your pg going? Are you feeling ok?
Maybe ~ have you got a name yet for your little man?
Charlie ~ pleased you've been signed off work and I hope the counselling helps x

Sorry forgot the othe posts already.....!!

My DH has never had a longing for a girl and we haven't really spoke properly about this baby being a boy yet, he's just accepted it and it it doesn't bother him that he will never have a daughter, I suppose that's why GD can be such a lonely place

We've had an awful 4 weeks of constant illness at our house, it really has been never ending! I haven't slept properly for such a long time that I can't stand up without feeling like I'm going to collapse - I am so run down and tired I really do feel very low at the mo

We are going away this weekend so I'm hoping I can get some rest then.

How is everyone's attempts going?

Any scans coming up?

Inglewood ~ I am so excited for you - cant wait to see your little girls

I watched a thing on GMTV this morning whilst getting ready for school run and it was abut women who have lifelike babies made to order and treat them like real babies - three women were sat there holding theses dolls and it was abit strange but I did get it too. One women said she had four boys and always a girl so it gave her a chance to have a girl and dress her in girls clothes.......I thought god that will be me next!! I feel like I'm going mad so wouldn't surprise me!!

Hugs Hun - I totally understand how you feel. My DH has a great relationship with 'his boys' and is very sporty and loves all the boys stuff they do together- it hurts that he never thinks about how it all makes me feel. I can't be bothered to talk about how I feel anymore. I just think if you can't be bothered to ask then why I should I even go there!!
I hope you have a better day today x

[Inglewood]

Babymad, sorry to hear you don't feel you can talk to Dh about how you feel. My Dh isn't a 'Listener' and wouldn't even ask either, alot of men don't get it as they have their boys. Hope ur feeling better? your having a rotten time health wise. I will see the doc tom about the codiene, let u know. I asked 2 mums at school I know that took it and 1 of them said they don't like to give it from 38wks, as it makes for sleepy babies, but you have to way up your pain and how you feel. They might just let me take it as required, not 4 times a day. That would help! x

Chocolate, sorry ur having a rough time too. How old are ur boys again?? Men are selfish at time (not all of them I suppose) but they all have their moments!! Maybe you need to sit him down and be honest about the pressure ur under and how u feel? Would he listen? x

Charlie, glad to hear ur taking time out for yourself....work will always be there and you get no thanks for going in when ur not well, so take it easy and enjoy the time at home more. x
