Larger Families Chatter ~ September 2007 #3

Good afternoon everyone :D

I'm feeling a little down today, i was so sure i was pg, had all the signs, and then AF showed up this morning :( I have never liked her visits, but i dislike her even more now !!

Blue - I'm sure the councillor will help. I've often wondered if i should see one too, i went to a doctor a while ago who just threw a script for anti-depressants at me. But they just made me feel worse ( prob not the right one for me ). I can usually get out of my moods by myself with a bit of positive thinking, sometimes it works better than others though. Good luck :)

jesabell - Poor Kate, i know what you mean about everyone being sick lately, it seems never ending here too.

Castle - big hugs for you, hope the mozzies stay away this time lol

Ewwww Katstribe - hope the toilet wasnt too disgusting lmao

It's crappy having a crappy day hey Storm, hope things are better now.

Soul - I bet you get lots of mum's that need a part time babysitter ringing you soon, especially the before and after school times, good luck !!
Have a great day everyone :D

lea did you get my pm?

No soul, havent received one yet :(

Hi girls - took me a while to read thru all da posts I'd missed - now I have brainoverload.

I have had a stink past week....first I got a UTI for da first time - how horrible. I have hardly been able to walk. I finally start feeling better yesterday and today I am bleeding! I don't know whats happening. I am too scared to ring the doctor.

Bec, don't be scared but take it very seriously and DO ring the doctor. A UTI any time is not good....during pregnancy is even worse. They are known to trigger prem labour among other things, so the doctor will want to do something. Is it painful bleeding while urinating? If so then bleeding is probably because crystals have formed in your bladder and they are actually cutting you as they pass through....
If you've been treated with antibiotics over the past week then you should be OK, not worse, which is why I think you should ring or go in to hospital. If it goes up into your kidneys you will feel baaaad (fever, shivers, back pain).
I've had several kidney infections and they are dreadful.
Please post tonight or tomorrow and say you're feeling better :)

Hi Castle - I have had no pain going wee wee and I have been on antibotics and beginning to feel on top of things in that area. I am bleeding from vg area, fresh bright red but not heaps. I am so worried about mc again.
Bree

Bec, I hope the bleeding is related to the UTI, IYKWIM.

Sorry for being MIA ladies, been so crappy over here, Zaccie gave Angel his night bottle the other morning (cows milk) so apart from the fact the milk would have been a bit off, she is lactose intolerant & she's been really sick, not too bad today, though I cant say the same for her nappies! Her bum is red raw!!!! Poor buggar, & poor little Zaccie too, he knows not to give her things.. but she got hers back, he did the nudie run & stood up on the walker & she grabbed his willy!! They were fighting over it so so funny. But poor Zac was so distraught he was telling her no mine dont touch, owies Arngel ( that's what he calls her) all the while I was getting his PJ's & laughing/ Tit for tat at my house!!

Catch up tomorrow, s'pose I should get some sleep. OH & still no AF, temps nice & high, but BFN's. Hmmmmm mysterious.

how funny storm lol
hope angels bum gets better though nothing worse when there bum is red raw it looks so sore
bec i hope it is nothing serious i think you should go and get checked out just to be on the safe side .
ive got kate home again shes getting better but still not 100 per cent and still no coluour in her cheeks she had to have a blood test yesrterday she was so brave she keeps getting ulcers in her mouth so the doc getting blood test done to find out why and he said she has a bug .
so not good i expect one of the kids to get it soon
anyway better go but hi to castle halltribe blue kat soul and everyelse sorry i forgot everyones name

Storm, too funny about Zac! I am waiting for that to happen at our house, now that we have a girl in the fam. 2WW....hmmm! Will be thinking of you.
Hello to everyone.
Jes, I hope Kate feels better soon. It's not hand-foot-mouth disease is it? Must not be or I would think the GP would have said so. It can show up just in the mouth. Has the dentist had a look? I was looking at one of your other posts. OH MAN I had no idea Jesabell was over 12 lb at birth! You should change your username to Superwoman!

:hello:Hi everyone

Halltribe PLEASE tell me you went to doc or hospital??????? You will only stress more by sitting at home wondering! Trust me hun i was there just a couple of weeks ago! I had the bleeding and the cramping, went to doc straight away and they organised bloods and scan, bloods to check my levels and scan to see what going on. Now all turned out great for me but it was stressful just the same! Please go and get these things done, especially as you have had MC before , they should organise a series of bloods over a few days to keep checking your levels are going up. Plus a scan to see what is happening in there and to see if they can see why you are bleeding. IT seriously could be nothing at all but you need to find out so you can know where you stand. Sorry if i am harping on, i just know how i felt and to have answers is such a relief!.
Please let us know how you are doing. Iam sending you some sticky vibes :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

Storm what the go with you??? No AF and no BFP ????? Hopefully your hcg levels are just really low and are gonna pick up real soon!

I will have to read back now and find out what else been going on as i haven't read all the posts yet!!!!

Chat soon

Halltribe I put up a separate post to you & obviously it didn't happen! Sorry. My DS was on my lap and must have pressed something.
How are you??? I am very concerned. As Kat said, PLEASE go to the doctor or hospital & have it checked out. It could so easily be nothing and you will feel much better once you know. HUGS.

thanks castle i didnt feel like superwoman after i deliverd her
my back is still playing up
anyway yes i took kate to the dentist a couple of mnths ago about her ulcers and they said wait a little while and if they still keep coming take her to see your gp .
the doc said it could be a number of things but get the blood work done so he can see if theres anthing there .
whats everybody doing in the hoildays is anybody going away
i cant beleive its hoildays already this year is flying by by
halltribe i hope you are ok thinking of you

We are going to Tassie. The tickets were very cheap & we have booked a car, but no accomodation yet. Oh I hate finding accomo for a family. We have to do houses or cottages and quite a lot of them are "couples only", obviously trying to target the romantic end of things.

Lea I havwe no ides why that did not get to you, will write again tonight.

oh no bec did you ring our doc sweetness?

OMG jes did i read right??? Your little ( or not so little) girl jes was 12lb born????????? Wholly poo poo!!!!!! I guess its a good thing we don't know how big they are until AFTER we get them out hey!!!!

Hey soul how is the studying going?? I bet it is so interesting!! My DH reckons i should do either midwifery or something along those lines! Either that or a councellor (?), and i would love to but the studying part is what would get me i am so not commited to study!!!

Castle sounds like a great hol!! We only go away on hols in Dec for two weeks at the beach in NSW. I so know what you mean with the accom, it gets so frustrating! They just tar us all with the same brush, its like they get a rough fam through that trash stuff and then they don't want to give the rest of us a go, or they up the price to a rediculous amount so that it is way out of reach!!!
Anyway i hope you find somewhere lovely to stay.

Oh by the way i survived the loo cleaning gorg lea!!!! hahahaha ;)

Well i best go and finish this nappy cake! A GF is having ababy shower on the weekend and i have decided to do up a nappy cake for her!!! She saw the one i did for another friend and really wanted one so it makes it easy for me....
Halltribe i hope you are ok, i am thinking of you hun ;)

Kat, the nappy cake sounds lovely!
Yes, about the accomo it was funny to do a search...lots of places are "couples only" or "not suitable for children". LOL, one of the reasons they give as not suitable for children is "stairs". WT??? Never mind, we'll find something. DH thinks we can go without taking the double stroller. HA HA. I told him we are taking the travel cot as well. You'd think he'd know by now.
So tired girls. Gemma was up for 3 hours during the night and I never fell back asleep properly. DH has promised he will do all the washing up tonight...yes it's after 9 and it's still not done...I'm off to bed anyway.

yes kat jess was 12 pound 8 too bloody big and i was induced 2 weeks late i hate to see the size of her if i left her when she was ready to come lol.oh wow castle sounds like a great hoilday hopefully you find some accom soon .what a morning ive had kate and courtney have their school photos today and at 7.00 kate says she wants to leave her hair out and have it straightened although it does look nice out she hardly wears it out anyway got through that then i drop them off at school and i realize there left there money on the bench have to jump back in the car and drop it off .i hadnt had a shower as i didnt have ime and jess had vegmite all over her face but oh well its done .anyway better go and have a shower

All i can say is WOW jes thats an impressive size bub!!!!! My mum's biggest was 9lb 11oz and we used to joke that he came out the size of a6 month old!!!!
Don't you just hate those mornings! My kiddies catch the bus so i get text messages from the eldest saying who has left stuff and can i bring it in to school! Very frustrating!
Well i hope your day gets better from hereon out!

Morning to everyone else, has anyone heard from halltribe?????? I am really worried about her!
