I think i will have to work a few hours or a few days before i can take full maternity leave, the girls at work said i will have to do it. Maybe it will be better for me to do it:) as it will get my family off my case, especially my mother, never can understand her, she delighted that we are expecting, and even though I have double morning sickness ( having TWins) She thinks that i am going to get sacked if i don't return.
My Job is quiet physical as I am based in 3 different areas, and constantly on the move up and down stairs all day. In and Out of tight areas( I think I will have to give them a miss:D might get stuck in there Or wedged into a corner:D, ! Will have to sort something out. Thanks again to all of you for your replies, they have opened my eyes

Hi all,
Hope you don't mind me joining in. I'm a regular gone anon til we (fingers crossed!) reach the 12 week mark.
Currently just over 6 weeks, so a bit to go yet!
The morning (mid morning/afternoon/,mid afternoon/evening time/middle of the night :rolleyes:) sickness has started to kick in but I'm taking it as a good sign that so far all is going well!
I had a miss this time last year so that bit nervous about being pregnant again.(I also have a 17 month old)IvyTheTerrible wrote: »I feel fantastic these days, apart from being pretty tired. And of course the weird dreams!
Glad I'm not alone on the weird dreams, mine are just bizarre!
Week before last I got my groceries delivered but they delivered onions which I didn't order & I didn't cop til the driver had gone.
For 2 nights in a row I had the most vivid dream that the driver was knocking on the door & bedroom window in the middle of the night looking for his onions! I ended up giving them to my sister just to get them out of the house
:D
The most disturbing dream so far was that I was *ahem* 'intimate' with a member of the Fair City cast. (Decco Bishop for anyone that watches it) http://www.rte.ie/tv/faircity/characters/deccobishop.html
No offence to the chap, I'm sure he's lovely in real life, but in that he's a thug that's constantly scowling, I felt so wrong the following morning.
Strange things these pregnancy hormones!
Hope everyone is keeping well & fingers crossed I'll be here for the next 8 or so months!0 -
Hi ladies
I'm in my 23rd week & wondering if anyone has had a 3D scan? We really want to find out our baba's gender but the scanners in Portlaoise are quite fuzzy so the Doc didn't want to make a guess.. Has anyone had experience with the 3D? One of my neighbours had one (8 months ago now) & said they're only €70 ish now? Any advise would be great x
Hey Tigeress, I haven't had one done yet but I'm hoping to over the next 2 weeks. Only reason I'm getting it done is because I'd love my mam to be there for one of the scans and obviously I can't do that at Holles Street.
They're not as cheap as €70 though, unfortunately, or at least not in Dublin. The place I was looking at costs €180, it's a lot of cash for something we don't really need.
Thanks Beanser I know what ya mean! We don't need this but want it.. I've been looking around & the cheapest place I can find is Swords for €145! I'm gonna ask my neighbour where she got her's for so cheap! We're in the midlands & don't wanna drive for hours for the scan either..
Hope all the yummy mummies are doing well I can't believe I've just gone into my 24th week! The countdown has begun hehe 0 -

I can't believe I've just gone into my 24th week! The countdown has begun hehe
I'm 24 weeks today! I really can't believe it. I posted here first when I was 6 weeks. The time seems to have flown by.
Still worried, scared, excited, terrified.... I've begun contemplating buying stuff. What's people opinions on pre-buying? I had my eye on a second hand moses basket a few weeks ago (for free) but my mum was staying that week and she was all "you can't have it in the house!"
That put a bit of a scare up me...
Anyway, heading to the doctors in a bit cos I need to get my asthma checked out and I might pop into the shops while I'm out and just see what things look like - and try and figure out where we're going to fit everything!
Baby's are small but their stuff is huge!0 -

Ladies I was wondering if anyone else has gone through a crazy hunger phase? I'm starving all the time lol! I can't seem to get full at the mo, it only started a few days ago but even after eating a good size dinner I'm hungry within 10 mins again! I'm trying to eat healthily with fruit & veg but it's just not satisfing me.. Anywho that's my hungry rant over with! Hope you are all having a good Monday 0

Penguin Bars, you're def not alone on the weird dreams! I keep dreaming about a jelly bean arm taking over the works but also being very confused in the dream as they have no arms! I've woken my OH on many occasions with this dream lol
Do you have a date for your 1st scan yet?
Lol that's gas, isn't it mad how vivid the weird dreams are when you're pregnant? I was the same when pregnant with my daughter.
One night I woke my husband up & freaked the living daylights out of him. I'd fallen asleep on my arm & it went dead. I woke up in the night screaming 'where's my arm? its gone':D
He thought I was being attacked I was absolutely convinced my arm had fallen off because I couldn't feel it!
I already had a scan Wednesday gone, but as I was only 6 weeks gone they couldn't see a whole lot, so I've to go back at 8 weeks.
Gas really, I was as much as told that I shouldn't be there/it was too early - but it was the hospital themselves that had given me the appointment! :rolleyes:
Cbyrd don't envy you the indigestion at all, when are you finishing up in work? it must be hard going on your feet when you're so far gone.
Those 3D scans are dear but I thought it was well worth it, the pics of my little girl were so clear & even looking back at them now, you can see a clear resemblance to her. I could never make head nor tail of the regular hospital scans so it was the first time I could make out a baby in a scan
Nicowa, I would have been quite superstitious too. My parents bought us a pram set when I was pregnant with my daughter, so I just kept it in their house til closer to the time.0 -

ah yeah, got that pretty bad around week 20 to 24 or so. Waking up starving at night, even though I'd had a big dinner just hours before. Woke hubby up once or twice guilt-tripping him to bring me food ;-)0 -

Thank god it's not just me! I'm hoping it's a passing phase lol I'll be gigantic if I keep eating like this!
Penguin, that's mad that they gave you an early scan only to say it's too early to scan, I swear they're backwards sometimes! Did you see the sac? Bet you're dying to go back for the 8 weeks scan I really and truly hope everything goes well for you hun! Xxx 0 -

I think we starting buying in earnest just around the 20 week mark as well... had picked up a few little bits and pieces before that but not much. Part of the reason though was that we weren't sure where we were going to be living so didn't want to have a pile of extra stuff to move if we were going to be moving house!Ladies I was wondering if anyone else has gone through a crazy hunger phase?

I went through a couple of serious hungry phases! The first was around week 8 I think- I absolutely had to have 2 slices of brown bread toasted before I went to bed at night or I'd wake up during the night with hunger pains. That lasted for a good while!
Every couple of weeks I'd get another hungry phase- I figured it could be the baby having a growth spurt and using all my energy!
My due date is TOMORROW [EDIT: TODAY]!!! :eek::D:eek:
Hope baby comes soooon!0 -

My sister says the same to me but I'm only 9 and half weeks and I already have my buggy, moses basket, changing table, eletric swing, gliding chair and foot stool and cot and they are all up in what will be the baby's room :eek:
Got all of the above second hand so I've only spend €270, my buggy travel system I got off a girl who had been given it as a gift but she'd already bought one herself so she never used it, got it for €100 including rain cover, foot muff and fly net, I couldn't pass up that barginLadies I was wondering if anyone else has gone through a crazy hunger phase?

OMG I'm so hungry all the time. I always thought when I got pregnant I'd watch what I ate and when it came to it I could lose the baby weight easy....HA...boy was I naive :rolleyes:0 -

I'll post asap after I pop!Oh wow Liliq!! That's soo exciting I hope you're not waiting too long for baba to arrive! Do you know what you're having yet? I still have 16 weeks eek, feels like forever away right now! I hope everything goes well for you x
Thanks, I hope so too!! Yep... we found out by mistake... (and then had it confirmed 3 times!) going to have a little man... I didn't want to find out, but I've gotten so excited about a little boy since we did!

Sounds like you got some serious bargains!! Especaiily on the travel system!!
I was the same thinking I'd be careful about what I ate... I haven't been the absolute worst, but I definitely could have been a lot better! :rolleyes:0 -

Not yet.. Dying to know though! The Doc said she had an idea at our scan last week but cause she wasn't 100% she wouldn't tell us
I'm back in 5 weeks for another scan so if they can't tell then, then we're gonna go for a 3D to find out
That's mad you found out by accident hehe! I'd say you're just dying to hold him now we have our girls names picked but struggling with finding a boys name! Maybe that's a sign lol
Yeah I know it's not too long away & we're almost set with baba stuff just have to get started on the hospital bag now! It's flown through so far though, I found out when I was 2 weeks pregnant, can't believe how long ago that is now!
MS you got some amazing bargains! I wouldn't have passed them at those prices either! How's everything going for you? Wow 9 weeks already have you told your family yet?0 -

Yep 10 weeks on Friday (not that I'm counting
), time is just flying since I finished work. When I was in work time was dragging by as I felt like I was just watching the clock until I could go home cos I was so sick but now that I'm at home I can eat what I want, when I want and rest when I need to so I find that is really helping me feel better and time is going so much quicker
We told our families last week after I had my early scan. We got the scan so my OH could tell his older sister before she flew home (she lives aboard) but when we called to tell her his mum and 2 other sisters were there so we ended up telling everyone, the cat's out of the bag now and it feels great
I can't believe you've only 16 weeks left to go, I still remember you annoucing your BFP on the TTC thread, I'd say you can't wait to see your little one, not long now!!!:)0 -
