Babymad - how are you feeling now? I feel much better but still have a net weight weight loss of 1lbs so far! Heartburn has just kicked in now - great!

TLM life sounds manic! My DH has a new ache every day too. He is getting old! 37, poor thing ;¬) He keeps on telling me not do stuff "oh don't do that - I will do it for you" shame he never does, things never get done. The bath has had its third clean since I turned 12 weeks - urrghhh! He rushed in as I was bent over it coughing as I inhalled all the chemicals. M E N!!!

hello there - well we have more sickness here... DS1's temp spiked last night so he was up most of the night poor little sausage. Exhausted again!! This has been such a nasty virus/bug! Can't wait til it leaves our household!!!!

Inglewood - I ended up in Australia because my of my hubbie. I met him in Scotland and we were over here for a while before heading to Australia. We've talked about coming back... but we need to work out the financials first!

maybe - I teach primary - as I'm just emergency I have all the grades! I really enjoy it. I was in IT for 5 years and I didn't like sitting in front of a computer all the time (not so good if you're a programmer!). I miss the salary though!!

babymad - sick children and morning sickness don't go together do they!?!?! Morning sickness was a bit of a design flaw!!

nothing much new to report... 7 weeks today which is great although it feels as though it has been a year since I found out! 12 weeks seems like an eternity. Must start focusing on Christmas... but I never get in the Christmassy mood over here. I mean its 30 degree on Saturday and 32 on Sunday... just NOT Christmas!! I find I'm very disorganised when it comes to Christmas. I blame it on the weather.

I'm barely buying the boys anything this year. DS1s birthday is 30th December so I'm thinking of making him a teepee for his birthday - I found a pattern which looks good... so better get sewing. Anyone getting their boys anything good for Christmas?

My oh is worse than useless as well! And it's the same when I'm pregnant! Charlie is two now, there's a pile of rubbish in our garden that's been there since I was pregnant, so what 3 years ago! I've been standing my ground and making a point with this stuff but I can't do it anymore! Once it starts to freeze over a bit I'll do it myself! Can't have millions of spiders crawling on me tho! Lol!

Sorry your little sausage is ill Pinga ( I call Charlie sausage as well!)

Right must get off here and get ready for college!

[GeCon]

Hello,

I am new and have a question for you, ladies.

I have looked at ph test strips and am wondering which ph test strips to get and where from. Any help would be much appreciated. I have seen some online, but they either only go from 4.5 to 9 or in full numbers.

Thanks.

Hi all,
Babymad, yeah i wonder this too as my cycles have always been long!
Went to the midwifw drop in clinic, had over an hour wait. Had an older midwife today, she was sooo slow, she kept calling the baby a she which wound me up! then she asked if we knew what it was, i said a boy, then she said oh yes its defo a boy with that heart beat!! aghrrr. So then without asking me she rang the hsopital to book me in to be induced, ive got to go in next thursday night if nothing happened before then! i really dont want to be induced, i can see this going down the same path as when i had ds1!!! she asked me if i wanted a membrane sweep, i said no. I feel so stressed, would have been much nicer if i had been able to see my own midwife yesterday. Oh and she said the head hadnt engaged any further since last time, great!!!
Sorry for the moan lol, hope you are all well x

[Babymad]

Hi everyone,

Maybe ~ unfortunately im no better, im taking medication but dont think it helps to be honest. Im really struggling to function
Great that you are feeling better theres always something in pg to make you feel rubbish.... I am wishing the next 30 wks to fly by!!

Petal ~ hugs hun, I really know how frustrated you must feel. The sweep isnt painful so maybe give it a try or have you tried DTD as that helps to get things moving too
