"No honey, it's for the doctor" didn't quite seem like the right response!!!

Meeks....thanks for making me laugh tonight!! It was a long day of a long weekend and I appreciate your humour!

I am up a full 2 cup sizes on the (.)(.) front to my hubby's delight, but even though I kept some bras from my heavier days, they are bursting full. It makes me so determined to lose all the weight and then some once my baby is here!!!

Meeks, hilarious! Horrid little scare though.
Oh, and hopefully this will be of no relevance to you, or anyone... but bright red bleeding doesn't necessarily mean a problem, so long as not heavy and accompanied by cramps.

I have not been on for a while hitting my 17th week of pregnancy on Tuesday! It's going by so fast. Just wanted too see if Any has found out what they are having yet?? I have my big scan on the 22nd of July I will be 20 weeks, but we won't being finding out gender.

[Salsa]

Tooooo funny Meeks!!! Just popping into say good luck for your scan tomorrow!! Can't wait to hear your update x x

OMG Meeks... This was so funny I spat out my tea! Hahahaha funnily enough I was just thinking the other day I was giving the gruffalo a run for his money in the old downstairs department and should really sort that out! Maybe ill wait a bit longer... Don't want to excite DH either! Noooo way.

Not heard anything from the hospital I rung them and got fobbed off with a grumpy woman who clearly didn't have a clue what i was talking about let alone the authority to divulge information. She basically said I need to wait as the information was not to hand and even if it was she was not at liberty to tell me! It's all very well for her to stand on her high horse but its not her who might have a child with a genetic problem!! I'm so angry... I've gone from being upset to ready to kill the next person who crosses me. This is my life they are messing with here. It's hardly trivial.

DH thinks that no news is good news! Maybe he is right?? I have to think positive! On the upside I have a midwife appointment on Friday so I should def know by then!

Can your midwife call on behalf of you? I would be as angry as a wasp as well!! I know how our system is....it makes me so frustrated, but usually no news is good news. My MD is quite sweet the last time around with the scan, I got a call from her personally

Lots of hugs and prayers for you today!!

Yes 3boys do ask your midwife to ring- at least it will stop you having to deal with mrs jobsworth again. You are totally right to feel angry at the way she spoke to you. - if we could we'd all give her a mouthful for you!

Meeks - OMG, LOL, LOL!!!!! Your post just made my morning. And your DH!! That is exactly what my DH would do! Oh goodness. So glad everything's ok! Good luck at your scan tomorrow...woohoo!!!

Ladybugs - Oooh, so jealous of your (.)(.). Mine are sooo tiny. Granted, I was still nursing when I got pg, but decided to be done about a week after o. By now, all the milk is gone and they are so sad. I take comfort that they will grow as the pregnancy progresses, but right now, yuck!!

Soar - Ugh on all the gender comments. I plan to wait awhile to announce that we are even pg. I live 1700 miles away from my hometown/family. If there's a way I can find out early (MaterniT21 or an early scan), I will wait until we know gender...that way, no pressure. On my side of the family, there are currently 9 grandkids...8 boys, 1 girl. So, I know my mom & dad would love another granddaughter. Not only does that make logical sense, they made it clear in my last 2 pregnancies! With DS2, it was too much. I told them after the fact how hard it was to hear the comments and feel the pressure, so they were more respectful with DS3. But, I still heard a comment here or there. We hadn't really even told them we were going to try for another, and with my history of it taking forever to get pg, they will be shocked that we are pg! I also like Ladybugs' idea of telling everyone we're pg, but not telling gender till we're good and ready!

Emily - what a terrible comment. People are soooo insensitive!! NOT looking forward to comments this go round. That's another big appeal to waiting to tell. I know I won't be able to wait too long to tell my DH's family (they're here and will see my belly!), but hope to hold out as long as possible.

3boys - Fx and praying for great results of all your tests!

AFM - I am exhausted and nauseous. Yuck. But YAY! It means I'm pg! Lol.
