For the Old members of Still Tryin

Hello!!!!!

Glad you have set this thread up Nic. Feel exactly the same - miss talking to you too.

Lets hope more of the old bunch come on and we can share our pregnancy stories x

Hey Katie

Trying to get on all the different threads you lot are on is hard work!! ha ha

So thought be easier to do it this way.  Had my second visit to midwife, (don't have as many as did with soph) they are going by their date for me being due instead of scan as only 6 days different.  So am now the 1st Aug, this time round seems to be going alot quicker than when preg with Soph.  Anyway hope your doing ok?? I do hope more of the old bunch come on here be good to see how they are all doing?

Supposed to be tidying so pop better go

Luv Nicki x x

Hi,

Sorry to hear your going through the mill a bit Kirsty. Do you think the stress of a baby coming is to blame? Hope things get better soon. Did you second scan go OK? 26weeks, that's mad!

It seems like 2mins ago since I found out I'm pregnant so for you to be 26weeks and Nic to be 16 is crazy. We'll have lilttle babies before we know it.

Have any of you picked names yet?

I always go back and check the old thread and Emma has got her BFP. She was offline for ages. Dead pleased for her!

Katie xoxo (32+2)

Hello

Yeh i think being pregnant has got a lot to do with it but dh doesnt help himself!! but hey im sure something will get sorted eventually, im trying hard not to get stressed out and trying to keep busy (though not too busy!!) and i sleep alot hee hee.

2nd scan was fine although i had to go back the week later for another one as bubba wouldnt play ball and stayed face down the whole time and they couldnt check everything else but all was ok.

I know it is going so quick i cant believe you have less than 8 weeks to go, that is madness.

I change my name about names weekly!! one min i like something then i dont, not sure what i like at the moment, Toby is quite sweet for a boy. What about you??

Emma sent me an email this morning about her bfp, bless her its about time as she was trying for longer than me!!! Im well pleased for her too. That is all of us from the old gang that is now finally pg!! How cool is that!!

xx

We bounce between names but I suppose we'll officially decide once the little one arrives.

Have things got any better for you this weekend K?

I was really pleased for Emma too.

Yup, not long for me now. I finish work for my maternity leave 3week on Friday and go back next Feb. Cab't get my head around it!

We've just had the baby's room plastered so OH will be painting this weekend. But we have got everything now that we need. The only thing we need is the nursery bedding which we're buying once baby arrives - family buying us vouchers and so are my work. We've decided on Millie and Boris now from Mama's and Papa's. My friend (very kindly) bought me a brand spanking new Millie and Boris moses basket with stand so we're sticking to that theme!

It's crazy how much is needed for just one little person! All worth it though!

Hello all

Finally have some time to come on here.

Hey K stranger been a while. Glad you and bump are well, I am 20 weeks now.  Keep forgetting I am pregnant and doing things that I should really not but I was like that with Sophia.  Hate sitting around when things can get done.  Got my 20 week scan at end of month, couple days after my birthday. (Yes I know well over 20 weeks for that, don't know why, even got the midwife confused on how far along I am!!)

Managed to talk hubby round into finding out what the sex is, for some reason would like to really know this time and would help us with soph.  As one minute we are talking about the baby as it, she, he! and she is going to come with us.  Trying to get her involved in alot of it (where we can) so she don't feel lefted out).

It does feel great to be talking to you all together again even Emma, I had her email too.  That was great news now we all are!!!! I will say it again shame we all don't live closer?!!!

Hubby is picking soph up today so I don't have to go out in the horrible weather we have, lucky we don't have it as bad as some.

We are looking at names just can't decide on any boys names but we do like Lucy spelt Lucie or Mya. But still not sure on a definate, we have a book on welsh names!! Gave up with that didn't even know how to say half of them!!! going to go for a bit before this turns into a book!!

Luv Nic x x

Well 5 week's tomoz can't believe it finally happened you know what they say new house new baby it bloomin took long enough lol. K like you can't even remember BMsing at the right time but must of done.

I've been getting nausea quite bad can only manage one cup of tea in a day but gone mad on cranberry and mango juice and cranberry and blackcurrent not so much on the salad cream sandiwches now but egg umh fried, boiled,scrambled you name it I'll eat it going to the loo 2-4 times a night and boob's VERY tender and sleeping alot everything I always wanted to experiance.

Oh and some spot's still hasn't sunk in yet keep expecting to go to the loo and find AF's started and been getting niggles kind of like cramping but not it's hard to explain well usually coz I need a pooh sorry for TMI (it might sound gross) I kept all 3 of the HPT's thank god for Ebay I have 7 left new they'd come in handy.

I'm having alot of discharge having to use panti liners. Went shoping yesterday round poundland and found the cutiesed set of hat mitten and botty in white with a little teddy on couldn't resist so bought it we've had so many offers my Mum said she'd buy a buggy and MIL said she'd buy a cot.

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooo there's not been anyone on here lately all busy I supose. I've had a congrats message from Polly she has an 8 week old son called Noah sounds gorge told her about this thread in my reply so hopping she'll pop in when she's got a min to spare.

Can I ask a stupid question Why do maternity bras only seem to go up to a DD??? I'm having real trouble finding a comfy bra in a 36F non-underwired as under wire really hurts anyone got any advice.

K how's thing's going with DH?? have you bought much for bump yet there's some nice things on ebay and poundland.

Nic how's you and bump?

Afternoon all

Know I said and get on here more but since soph came home monday she hasn't been well.  She is still off now had temp of 39.5, so haven't had much time to myself lately.  would take her to docs but last time had temp doc looked at me like I was stupid and was told to carry on with what I was doing. Feel like screaming when go there for soph, Hello i know my daughter and when she is not well, would I bring her out like this not well!!!!!! ladies you have this all to come!!!

Anyway, deep breath.  Hey Em couldn't advise you on the bra front, 32D usually and only 34D at the moment.  Look on blooming marvelous there is another site can't remember the name at the mo.  Will find out though, thats goods news with Polly, like the name Noah.  Sounds like you enjoying all those lovely symptoms, my tiredness is slowly getting better but I am having few more spots (GREAT!).  When preg with soph couldn't get in my norm jeans at five months but this time baby must be sitting bit higher.  As can still get away with wearing a couple of pairs, as very lucky again to have not put any weight on anywhere else. How are all you with the weight?? If you don't mind me asking..

Got to go for bit my mum had popped in to check on us and how we are

Luv Nic x x

Hey Nic thank's anyway you lucky thing! sorry to here Soph isn't feeling well hope she get's better soon hug and kiss to Soph to make her feel better I am enjoing my symptoms haven't had a nap today so will be in bed early tonight been getting achy legs today so another symptom to add to the list I'm loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry to hear about your spot's I've got them too  sort of my skin on my cheeks look's lumpy so think there under the skin getting ready to erupt booooohooooo.

I haven't put any weight on Yet but sure I will I'm kind of lucky that I've lost alot of weight in the last few years as I kept putting off the clear out so have clothes up to a size 18/20 bottom's and up to 24 top's so they should keep me going for a while fingers crossed.

Kisty how are you Hunny well I how many weeks are you now must be excited not to long before baby comes hope do you know the sex of bump and have you thought of any names.

Me and Paul have names for both sex's Alexis Jane for a girl and Daniel Steven I don't want to know the sex Paul's not sure if he does or not.

I am just generally aching all over, belly is feeling very strectched and back is sore!! all good though, baby is kicking like mad even as i sit here typing this i am getting booted everywhere!! im 27+1 now so getting there!!

How you all feeling?

Things are really poor for me at home, not sure if me and hubby cant sort things out, we cant even be in the same room at the moment!! its not good but what can a girl do accept get on with things.

K xx

Hey all,

Well Soph is still off school not getting any better yet!!! Know I've picked up really bad sore throat (which is strange as I don't have tonsils & was told would never have the prob again)!!! and headaches. I'm feeling stratched all over, specially my c-section scar from soph and my back!!!! GREAT!! Done it in last time with Soph and found it really hard to get about, getting soph of the toliet and had a twinge was in major agony sunday night and part of yesterday. Feeeling bit better today.

K been there luv, it is hard. Had it with Soph and been having it with now!!!! Just keep working at it, the pair of you will both come round soon.  Remeber him telling me with soph that with his work, me not being 100%, thought of being a dad getting closer and then us arguing over stupid things that then built up. Just all got to him. You two will be fine!!

21 weeks now and my bump has been moving for a while no major kicks just the full body movements and little bumps (bit like hiccups) all the time.  Just can't believe how quick 21 weeks have gone, august 1st be here before I know it!!! Hope you are all okay?! Take care K x x

Nic x x

Hello ladies how you all doing??

Nic, hope you are feeling better than you were the other day, i know that stretched feeling only too well at the moment. im getting pretty big now and tummy is achy all the time. no stretch marks yet but im sure they are on their way!!

How you doing Katie?? cant believe you are nearly there

Em, how you doing??

Things are really bad here, hubby has gone back to his mums for at least a couple of weeks, its basically make or break time for us. Is really hard but i have got to focus on me and the baby and make sure we are doing well. Hopefully we will both be able to sort our heads out and work it out but im not too hopeful and thinking that tis will be permenant. Only time will tell.

Well im off to get ready and go and sit downstairs with people as its horible being in the flat on my own, my mum is up tomorrow so it wont be as bad then.

Hope you are all doing good

Take care

Love K xx

Hey K really sorry to hear about you and DH it may be the stress of the upcoming new arrival well lets hope so  really do hope you both can work things out I hate ti think of you alone and heavily pregnant not long for you now hun keep smiling and think of you little one.

Nic How you feeling hun sounds great can't wait to feel Baby Malt moving around like that.

I have my first scan 3/4/08 @ 11am I'll be 8+1 by then if GP was right and will meet my midwife on the same day will be up a maternity hozy for 2-2.5 hours according to the letter so will make a pack up lol.

It's gonna just be me and DH as I'm really excited but also nervouse and keep thinking of poor Jess and thinking what if I've had a missed miscarage I know it's daft and I'm havinng weepy moments then snapping off DH's head so got all the syptoms still. I had the strangest dream the other night that baby was born but half it's skin was missing really freaked me out.

I'll love ya and leave ya as I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired I'm gonna go to bed had a massive lay in this morning till 11am 

Hi,

Nic I'm glad to hear baby is moving lots. It seriously freaked me out when it started happening but now it's such a comforting thing to feel it.

Em, good luck with your scan. I think everyone is worried and fears the worst but stay positive! You'll feel blown away when you see your little bean on screen!

K, I am really sorry to hear about you and your OH. It's crazy to think this is happening after how long you were trying and stuff. Maybe some time apart will do you good. I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Well we have picked the nursery furniture up and my pram is delivered on Tues. Time is going way too quick now! It's so mad!

I'm back at midwife on 2nd April as little bo has been breech since 28 weeks. If it's still breech at next app then I think they'll offer to turn it and then go down c section route. I've read horrible reports about trying to turn babies so if baby is breech, I'm taking it as fate and opting for a c section. Be off my feet for a while but as long as baby is OK, that's all that matters.

I finish work a week on Friday too. And then go back Feb! Wow.

Getting impatient now and want to know if we have a little girl or boy.......

Hugs to you all. Stay well and happy easter

Katie xoxo (34+4)

Hey Katie can't believe it's nearly time to meet your little one on the breach thing have you tried putting a bag of frozen peas on the top of your bump sounds mad I know but My mum had the same prob they didn't want to turn baby by force if they could help it so MW said to do that and it worked give it a try it might work for you hope all goes well at MW app.

I will be getting a scan pic no matter what so will try to put it in gallery still can't believe we'll see our little one in 2 weeks. I remember going with Mum to see my Sis Natasha now 6 I cried my eyes out so will be taking plenty of tissues.
