25th janruary 2008 4 weeks 1 day

Today i was 2 days late for my period and was thinking about doing a test but was scared of getting a negative result, we wanted a baby so much and we didnt wana be disapionted. I rang lee on his lunch break and asked him to pick up 2 pregnancy tests and we could do them later when he got home from work.Lee came home at normal time 5.30pm and the kids had gone to there grandparents for the weekend,it was now or never i was just so nervous. I did the test and brought it downstairs so we both could read the result together,the 3 minutes was up and neither of us dare look at the test i was shaking.Then i looked at the test and couldnt believe what i saw the test was POSITIVE i had to keep looking at it as i couldnt believe my eyes. Then i started laughing and then came the tears we were both crying and cuddling each other . We were both so happy and on top of the world.

15th february 2008 7 weeks 1 day

Me and lee had gone away for the weekend for valentines and lees mum had the kids. Hotel was great very nice and lee had booked the bridal suite for us as it was the best room in the whole hotel and had a bath big enough for two...We went down for breakfast which was lovely and then went back up to the room and when i went to the toilet i was bleeding so panic set in we tried to call our gp with no luck and because we wasnt in our area we didnt know what to do. someone from the hotel came up to our room and offered to take us to the nearesrt hospital as we didnt have transport. We got to hospital and by this point i was extremly worried and i felt sick, the doctor came through and spoke to us and then a gynocologist came through and examined me and said everything looked ok and the neck of the womb was still shut and she couldnt see were the bleeding was comming from. They got me in for a scan straight away, i was so nervous waiting for the scan woman to tell me everything was ok and then we saw the heartbeat which was amazing and instantly put my mind at rest. Even though i was only 7 weeks and couldnt see much apart from a little peanut i knew my baby was ok and that was the first time i had smiled since leaving for the hospital...

25th february 2008 8.45am8 weeks 4 days

Today was my first appointment with my midwife at the hospital i was nervous but excitied at the same time.When i got there i was happy to see it was the same midwife i had with my other 3 children and she remebered who i was which was nice and asked how kids were.She asked all the routine questions and did my blood pressure, wieght and checked my urine everything was perfect.Also while i was there my midwife booked me in for my 12 week scan (17th march) she told me if i had any questions or wanted a chat to give her a ring anytime.

28th february 2008 9 weeks

Took kids to school as normal and lee went to work.I started to feel unwell and had alot of pain in my stomach went to the toilet and was bleeding and had a blood cot pass through i rang lee straight away and he came home from work. I then rang my midwife who said for me to go straight in.Lee came home and we got a taxi to hospital, we saw the nurse and the doctor they said it could be a number of things. They then said i had to stay in over night which i didnt wana do but baby comes first.Lee went home to pick kids up and do there tea and then later on my mum came to look after the kids while lee and his mum came up to see me.They left and i tried to sleep but couldnt so i watched telly and eventually drifted off to sleep.

29th february 2008 9 weeks 1 day

The doctor came round to see me and said they was going to get me in for a scan this morning sometime so i rang lee and told him but they wouldnt let him come up to the ward as it wasnt visiting time which made me really upset i needed him to be there for me and we were both upset. They came to get me for my scan and i got the nurse to ring lee to get him to meet me down there. Lee got there just in time, everything was fine thank god and we even got a free picture...baby was fine and that made me very happy, Lee was beaming from ear to ear.. we went back up to ward and was discharged and was let home.

8th march 2008 10 weeks 2 days

We had bought a fetal doppler from ebay and had been trying to find babies heartbeat for a few weeks but was unable too with it being so small, but today was different we thought we would give it another try and was so glad we did. It took us a while i would say around 40 minutes but we found babies heartbeat for the first time and was amazing to hear we listened to baby for about 10 minutes with big smiles on our faces.

17th march 2008 1.50pm11 weeks 4 days

SCAN DAY

Was getting really excitied today lee had to go to work just for the morning so i had a nice relaxing bath and watched a bit of tv but all the time i was thinking about the scan i couldnt wait for 1.50pm to come round. Lees mum came round at 1pm ready to take us, shortly after lee came home then it was time to go. We went in the scan room and my heart was thumping away i was excitied and nervous all at the same time and i could see lee was excitied he couldnt stop smiling, and there it was our baby in front of our eyes it was amazing baby was kicking around and was even dancing about i could have watched it for hours. Everything was fine and we all went away with great big smiles and 2 pictures(which are posted on my profile).

6th april 2008 14 weks 3 days

Today was the first time i felt baby kick was an amazing feeling and was hoping it would do it lots more than it did but i only felt it 3-4 times but all the same it was great.

17th april 2008 16 weeks

Today me and lee are celebrating our first year of being together.Lees mum came over to watch the kids for us while we went out for a lovely meal.We ordered the food and a soft drink and was chatting away when lee pulled out of his pocket a lovely ring and asked me to marry him, i was in shock i never expected it and it blew me away i was speechless that after a minute he said to me so whats the answer i didnt even realise i hadnt replied, and of course i said YES.After the meal we went for a lovely walk along the beach front and even though it was soo cold i wouldnt have wanted to be anywere else.I am the happiest woman alive ........

19th may 2008 20 weeks 4 days

my morning sickness has come back with a vengence ive done nothing but be sick.i was sick all the way through with my other children so i thought i would sort of be use to it by now, but i dont think you can ever get use to being sick.ive lost 4lbs in the past 4 days so ive only gained 2lbs in this pregnancy up to now which is quite worring. baby is kicking away though and my belly is growing (it seems bigger everyday now).my scan is in 4 days and me and my partner cant wait.were not finding out the sex as we want it to be a suprise,even though the suspense will kill me i know it will be worth the wait,so im counting the days till i can hold my baby in my arms(19 weeks 3 days to go) :D

23rd may 2008 21 weeks 1 day

was my 20 week scan today and i couldnt sleep all night thinking about it..was only in scan room 5 mins it was so quick and baby wasnt co-operating he/she had there legs either side of its face and stayed in that position all the time so we didnt get a profile picture and my partner was very dissapointed bless him..we did manage to get a full face 1 though with baby looking straight at us :D....we are going for a 4d ultrasound at 29 weeks that should be very interesting...8 weeks to go..

24th may 2008 21 weeks 2 days

was laid in bed and i felt this almighty kick so i put my hand on my tummy and there it was again was the strongest kick i have felt yet i shouted for my partner to come upstairs but then baby stopped kicking (nothing new there) it seems to know when other people wana have a feel, but im sure they will all be able to feel him/her very soon when he/she is kicking my insides out lol..we have also booked a 4d scan now for 7th june(23 weeks 2 days) and then again on the 26th july(30 weeks 2 days) i sooo cant wait and will be much longer than our last scan what only lasted 5 mins we have an hour for each appointment and pictures and dvds yay im so excitied...fetal heart rate this morning was 160-162bpm....we made our cot up at the weekend it looks so cute my partner picked the bedding..theres a picture of it in my pics on profile

7th june 2008 23 weeks 2 days

today was my 4d scan i have never had one before so this was a whole new experience for me and my partner.i was so excitied i couldnt hardly sleep all night.my partners parents took us to nottingham to have the scan done and it was so worth every single penny and more.i could not believe my eyes when i saw our baby is was amazing and so so beautiful i was in total awe.the scan lasted 20 mins i could have watched it all day.we got 55 pictures and a dvd which when we got home we watched 3 times.i was so emotional i nearly cried but i hold myself back coz i would have felt a bit of a wally....lol. that night when we went to bed my partner had his head on my belly and baby kicked him about 6 times in his ear, he loved it and it made me happy to because he had finally felt a real big hard kick like he wanted too.so all in all the 4d scan was totally amazing and ive got another one on the 27th july when i will be 30 weeks so im now counting the days again...

13th june 2008 24 weeks 1 day

i havent been to well all week and wednesday was the worst i must have been sick around 25 times and i couldn't keep anything down not even fluids.im still not feeling to good now still being sick and dont wana eat anything but i know i have to try at least.baby is still kicking away sometimes i think he/she will kick there way out anyday lol.my partner has felt baby kick loads now and loves it everytime.ive had really bad heartburn and alot of braxton hicks,only 15 weeks 6 days to go and counting

23rd june 2008 25 weeks 4 days

today was my midwife appiontment and wasnt a very nice 1 to say the least, found out i have got group strep b, which is in an infection which can be passed onto the baby during birth,so i have to have iv antibiotics at least 4 hours before i deliver baby to stop it being passed on.was very upset when i got home, me and partner cried alot and cuddled each other. it wasnt what i wanted to hear and was a shock as i have never had it any of my pregnancies before.i also still had glucose in my urine so now i have to have the blood test for it at 28 weeks which will be at my next appointment.so im hoping all will be ok with that.other than that baby is doing great heartrate was 151-153bmp and baby is kicking away especially in my ribs which hurts really bad.i get so tired lately and my back is so sore but its all worth it and i cant wait to meet my little bundle of joy...

14th july 2008 28 weeks 4 days

i had an appointment to see the midwife today,listened to baby heart rate was 140-142bpm,blood pressure was fine and so was my urine thank god (the last 2 times i have been there had been glucose init)i had some blood taken for diabetes and my lft's have they have been abnormal in the past so im hoping everything will come back fine.i was shocked when she measured me and i was measuring 33 weeks even though im only 28weeks 4 days,yet when i was at my last appointment i was measuring correct,so i think i must have had a growth spurt the last 3 weeks,im hoping baby doesnt grow too much bigger i already feel huge even though ive only put on 6lbs.i still cant seem to eat much i get full so quick and im still being sick,but its all worth it and i cant believe ive only got 11 weeks to go and counting(or maybe a bit less if im lucky =)......

wilsonwilson - Sunday, 29 June
Hi, well my weekend started with a trip to the hospital with my DH who got bit by a horsefly and his whole hand was swollen and he looked awful and it scared us both, so my mum and dad had the kids and they were not too happy about it but I seem to be there for them but when things get tough I get the well I suppose treatment. Turns out DH was ok and needed some anti histamines and some cream and it will go down and true enough it has, but it was scary.

I still have not done a big shop and am continuing to do little by little. I have made a list of all the things we need for baby and will be getting them one at a time hopefully in time for the arrival.

I woke up and tidied the house this morning and am now doing some posters for the speeding campaign outside the school after school to slow the bloody traffic down. I am also looking after my mum who had an operation on her foot and she has crutches. I am still blinking working and doing college work and am struggling so much right now but a big brave smile hides everything. I am not even getting support from the school, stuck up people and they are always first to say they need money for this and that and moan about the traffic but they will not help us to help them.

All seems well and everything is ok with my little Joseph and I am still a low risk although that might change with everything I am doing.

A new week tomorrow, hope you have a better one than mine lined up lol *hugs* xxxx


gr8scottswife - Sunday, 29 June
Lean against the wall to stretch your calf muscles several times every day. This is the best thing that has helped me.


wilsonwilson - Sunday, 29 June
Hi, well if I had the chance to catch up on my sleep I would do it, but my needs have been towards my family and running them around this week. I am glad you caught up with your sleep and bad to wake up with a headache.
Carvery sounds fantastic, it is so hard to find somewhere nice to eat, I hate to eat plastic food that has been warmed up in the microwave yukky. I am fussy with my food and if it is not worth the price then I won't pay what they are asking for and just pay what I think it is worth. I am so hungry right now I could eat an entire cow lol.

I am glad you got some pressies for louis, I know how you feel about the price of the games my DH treated our eldest to a nintendo Wii and my goodness the game are ridiculous and you can't beat the plug in to the tele games but don't tell my DH I said that lol.

We have to shop too, OMG'ness I ams o not looking forward to it and it stresses me out a treat. Oh what to do? I can't send DH as he would come back with chocolate and crisps honestly it is like sending a 2 year old shopping lol.

I just can't seem to sleep in past 8 am no matter what time I go to bed, I think it is when baby will wake up every morning.

How is your weekend going? What you been up to? I had to get some cream for thrush oh wow could I get a hedghog and scratch down there and then the chemist would not sell me the cream without a letter from the doctor and I told her straight if I don't get it I will kick off I was not going to eat it I wanted relief, silly woman but got it and feel better now thank goodness. Can't wait to hear what you have been doing *hugs* x


wilsonwilson - Thursday, 26 June
Hi I am so glad you are doing great today, I am now so ready for my head to hit the pillow you would not believe. I had an argument with my 3 year old Mollie last night about water and juice for 45 minutes so it was about midnight by the time I got to bed, the little monkey.

Oh wow your mum took you all out for lunch, what did you have? I would love to go for a meal with my husband I think that would be a real treat for me, and him lol.

I hope you have managed to find something for louis birthday, let me know if you got anything xoxoxox


shelm2 - Thursday, 26 June
I have not been tested with this child yet. I think he does it around the 38th week.. I didn't have it on my second child so it is a crap shoot I think. Good luck!


wilsonwilson - Wednesday, 25 June
Hi, I sore throat is not pleasant and I will be going back to my doctor although for the good it will do me I am sure that there is nothing I can take for it except paracetamol! Yeah that works NOT!!!

The draining of energy feeling is right on the button I am running on empty a bit like my car lol.

I have noticed I ache all over when I cook for the kids so I am doing these really simple meals tht take 10 mins to cook and the kids love to prepare them it makes them feel so grown up.

I am looking forward to getting my shape and energy levels back and going with the flow for now but it does get me down sometimes as I struggle to bend.

My appointment with the midwife went well and she is pleased with me and put me at a low risk which is fab, the dentist went well too they are keeping a close eye on 2 of my teeth but everything is good, how is your day? x


scilla - Wednesday, 25 June
o okay. I'm gonna make sure 2 ask my doc :D Thanks 4 the info.


wilsonwilson - Tuesday, 24 June
I am pleased all is sorted and you get the antibiotics before baby is born. Do not worry about the sugar in your urine, every time it has happened to me I have had the GTT and all is well, I just watch the sugar intake I have and it seems to work a lot.

I have such a sore throat and it is not getting better and I can't shift this bloody cough. I nearly fell asleep on the sofa today at 5pm and my goodness I had so much to do and kids to look after that is how tired I was. It is a tiredness that is like no other and it doesn't go away but it does get better!

I am so pleased my back is not playing up at the moment I don't think I could cope with the pain, it normally takes me diazepam a muscle relaxant to get moving and off the floor followed by very strong pain killers but my doc is good and knows I will never get addicted as I can't keep up with a regular vitamin tablet lol.

I have just took on an extra child mon-fri after school which is good, at the same time bad as I am so tired, oh well we will see how it all goes.

I hope you are feeling better soon, keep me posted xoxoxox


scilla - Tuesday, 24 June
Ouch! bt at least u know so your beh beh is not affected. Good luck. I'm gonna ask my doc because I know they check my urine everytime n they haven't said n e thing. Take care.


agonzales - Tuesday, 24 June
Well I hope you pass your glucose test. Good luck!


agonzales - Tuesday, 24 June
Oh sorry.. I found out I had in way in the beginning of pregnancy. My doc said I had it in my urine.


agonzales - Tuesday, 24 June
No I didnt have it with my other kids. My pregnancies were fine with the others. This pregnancy has been problems with hbp, gd and the strep but like other mommies say it will be all worth it in the end. I just cant wait to see what has been causing me pain lol.

This is a question and answer page on Group B Strep. The link is to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.


shelm2 - Monday, 23 June
Hey there, don't worry about the group b strep. I had it on my first child and all they did was put an IV of penicillan in my arm a couple hours before labor. But do brace yourself, that penicillan burns quite a bit as it goes into your arm. Have someone tap or slap your arm as it goes in. For some reason that seemed to help. Good news is that it doesn't take very long. Good luck.


agonzales - Monday, 23 June
I was told I have the strep b and I was given antibiotics for it. Its a bug in the vagina and the back door. Its not harmful to you but it can be to the baby when you deliver. So thats why they give the antibiotics through iv when you ge into labor. Be sure to tell them when you do if they dont ask. At first I was kinda worrieda bout it since I didnt know anything about it but my sister said she had it with 2 of her pregnancies and her babies are fine and my mother said she had it with my youngest sister and shes fine too. Im sure everything will be okay with the baby as long as you get the iv.


scilla - Monday, 23 June
From what I've read it's pretty much an infection that can be harmful to the baby if you're not treated for it. I know they treat it with antibiotics whitch should be okay. I've read it's dangerous to the beh beh if you dnt treat it. Did they give you antibiotics? Hey question for you is strep b detected or checked for in urine? It makes me a little nervous not knowing if they check for it on my monthly appointments.


Zoli :-) - Monday, 23 June
FOUND THIS ONLINE HOPE IT HELPS...http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/groupbstrepinfection.html


mrsbotti07 - Monday, 23 June
Hey there! Saw your post about strep B- It is only cause for concern if the baby or the baby's fluid is infected. Try and keep minimal doctor exams in your pelvic region. The second your water breaks or you lose your mucus plug, call the doc and they may want to start you on antibiotics asap. Dont worry many women have it and it is not cause for alarm, only when you are in labor- Let the whole world know at L&D so they make sure the baby doesnt come down the canal wihout it being treated.

wilsonwilson - Monday, 23 June
About a quarter of pregnant women in the UK are estimated to carry GBS in their vagina and rectum. As a result, many babies come into contact, and are colonised with, GBS around the time of labour and birth. The vast majority of babies are unaffected, but a small number become seriously ill with GBS infection.


wilsonwilson - Monday, 23 June
Hi, I am sorry you are feeling sick, i hope it gets better for you, but I feel your tiredness I have to say I am so tired it is untrue. I woke up twice for the toilet last night and got cramp in my hip, yowch it was so painful and is still niggling me this morning, but you just get up and carry on but I am so tired it is untrue. I hope all goes well with you with the midwife let me know how you get on. I have a midwife appointment on Wednesday and I have to tell her I went to hospital and that I am antibiotics as I have an infection, great woo hoo. I hate taking medication I really do. I hope your cervix has not leaked again and all is ok, keep me posted *hugs* x


buninoven - Sunday, 22 June
hi! I would be super miserable without my zantac 150 twice a day. I started with once a day. Good luck!! Take care!
