    My goodness Sammie - how funny - I am exactly the same - I can't stand to go into our kitchen at home at the moment because the smell of food makes me sick and am also cleaning the toilet too, as I think I can smell things. Also at work today we had some smelly clients in reception (sorry I am not meaning to sound like a snob), but I walked through there and ran straight to the bathroom and the thought of it makes me sick again! They probably weren't that smelly it is just me being sensitive!

    Sorry very harsh!

    Also congrats to Kaydee - great news.

    Well I had better get back to it!

    Hi BDT big congrats on the 12 week mark lady have you breathed a little sigh of relief yet? it took me til about 14 weeks to really have it sink in "this is happening'' but don't worry you'll soon find something else to worry about lol

    two mums - good to hear from you and glad everything is well. maybe all that moving will get baby moving! and congrats on ''it'' being a ''him'' - hello Noah! ox

    how exciting bella, i hated the "is it, isn't it'' guessing of the first small moves. now i am left in no doubt when bubba kicks. good luck with your scan on fRiday,... was it this fri or next?

    oh dear smithy! that sounds awful. but it probably would be best for you to get some more help. you can't go on like this. let us know how you go. i really hope it resolves itself soon lovey. ox

    oh jeez sammie that sounds awful awful awful but amusing all the same iykwim. i'll just channel my mother for a moment "you'll look back on this and laugh one day''. i'm more than positive that doesn't help one iota, but that's all i got love. Hopefully you'll soon move onto being repulsed by the kitchen,like Bec big hugs for you tho love, it's no fun at all hey. ox

    kellyd i'm really glad your little one has behaved herself and that's excellent about the dates. 8 weeks eeeek that sounds liek very soon! has it sunk in yet? I'm getting to the stage wehre i jus want to meet my little man.. i've been waiting for 3 years for him and am impatient now!

    AFUS: had our obst appointment today. Turned up on time and waited 90 mins due to doc running late bbrrrhh (even called an 45 mins before hand and was told only 10 mins late tut tut tut). Anyhoo... all is well and bub threw in a few kicks as well so i stopped worrying! lol.
    The artery thing was explained better to us and i'm a lot more relaxed about it now.

    thanks for the good wishes and Kelly D for your wiggle advice. I will stop worrying about inadvertantly killing my child while sleeping. crazy bloody pregnant woman! lol. must go and find something else to worry about - hmmm will be back to report later lol

    BDT yah 12wks hope your scan goes well can't wait to hear all about it.

    Sammie OMG thats sounds terrible I can only imagine what that must feel like I didn't get any ms and im not bragging I really feel for you ladies that get ms I really hope it passes soon.

    Smithy that sound like a good idea going to hosi you don't want to get to dehydrated.

    Grub am glad bub is doing well it does help when you get more info then you can understand it more.

    Kelly Glad your OB appt went well I love OB appts you leave there feeling like everthing is ok. Plus listening to the heart beats leaves you on a high.

    AFM still resting in hosi I had a lot of visitors today which was really nice. Im starting to get abit bored now and really want to be home with my DH and DD. I am hanging for my scan on Monday to see how things are going.

    Hope everyone is baking nicely

    Good afternoon girls

    Kaydee - Congratulations on the safe arrival of Jarrod & Teneille What a wonderful weight for them both. Take care and look forward to hearing how you are going

    Azzrenae - Hope your scan on Monday goes well and your able to go home soon. Take care and am thinking of you.

    Kelly - WOW, thats good news that your little one could be here so soon!

    Sammie - you poor thing! Hope the ms eases up for you soon. Smells really turned me off too, I have gained a stack of weight as well and was a big girl to start off with, so know how you feel. Take care.

    Grub - LOVE your posts, you make me laugh! Glad your OB appointment went well and bubs made himself known too!

    BDT - CONGRATS on reaching 12 wks You must be so relieved. Good luck with your scan on Monday.

    Greenslw - hope telling the staff went well and congrats on your DSS results! At least all the hard work helping him paid off

    Twomums - so good to hear from you! Good luck with your move, packing is such a pain!!!! I too have an anterior placenta so not feeling lots of strong movements either. Take care.

    Bella - thats wonderful that you're starting to feel movement! Take it easy and enjoy your time at home.

    Smithy - you poor thing. I hope your able to find some relief soon, Take care.

    Hello to everyone else!

    AFM, saw my OB on Tuesday. My belly is measuring 30cm. It should be 25cm He said maybe its due to the baby having a growth spurt. My blood pressure is "ok" but if it goes any higher, I will need medication to control it. Have to go for my GD test in the next few weeks so looking forward to that again...NOT! My hands are starting to get a bit puffy and getting lots of numbness particularly in my right hand Its very annoying when I loose sensation in it. Am feeling really tired too. Have a busy weekend ahead which wont help...DOH! Plus work is getting busy too. Finish work 8 weeks tomorrow and bubs arrives 12 weeks yesterday so counting down the days....WOO HOO!

    Take care all,

    Tania

    hi everyone

    today is my '7 weeks to go' countdown. I can't believe it. How did that get here so fast? I am crossing everything that I can hold them in that long.

    I'm doing ok on bedrest. I'm not going insane just yet. The internet and a laptop makes life much more bearable. I've started getting DH is take a photo of my belly every week, and I'm writing a little letter to my boys to accompany each one, so that has been a lovely past-time.

    I also still have a fair few things to arrange, so I have been making ph calls, pulling in favours from our lovely mums, and generally just trying to enjoy the down time because I know the minute these babies arrive I won't have a minute to myself again for years!!

    hope you ladies with ms start to feel better really soon. I remember those days. yuck. But the good news is that they do pass. I found eating little and often, even when I didn't think I could stomach it, was the best approach. Smithy, yours sounds really bad - maybe a trip to the hosp wouldn't be a bad idea. As Azz said, you don't want to end up dehydrated. They can sort you out there

    grub, you crack me up. I'm going to have keep popping back into this thread once my babies arrive just for my daily grub giggle !!

    Twomums - hello! been thinking of you

    And Azz, you know I'm thinking about you lots. I'm glad you've had some entertainment, and I know you must be desperate to be home. But believe me, it's actually so much more difficult to do nothing at home. Even though my house is clean and tidy, there is still 'stuff' that needs doing, and I'm finding it hard to ignore it all.

    Tania - is it carpal tunnel syndrome?? There are things you can do while sleeping to help. Apparently if you sleep with your hand elevated on a pillow (although god knows how you keep it there all night) it helps a fair bit. I hope it isn't causing you too much pain.

    MHB - you're getting so so close now!! Nice to hear from you.

    Hi to all you other lovely mummies-to-be.
