Hi Leanne, I'm so jealous, Saul still wakes for a feed at 2.30am!!! I am coping ok with the night feeds though, as he goes straight back to sleep... Ruby is a fantastic name, if Saul was a girl he was going to be called Scarlett, so a red colour theme going on there!!! Any idea when we're going to get a summer??? We want to go out walking, I still need to shift some baby weight!!! Sara

Hi ya

ooooooooo I love the name Scarlet. Its a really pretty name. The weather has been awful hasnt it. Ive still got another 6lb to go b4 im back to my pre pregnancy weight so im desperate to get out and go running again every morning but the weather has just been so unpredicatable. Have you started to look for houses in Plymouth? What area of the city are u looking to move to? x

Hi, No we aren't going to start looking until we sell our house... I keep an eye on the market and am addicted to rightmove, but not physically looking... I still have just over 2 stone to lose!!! I put on 5 stone with Saul!!! Not quite sure how.... He was a big lad though, 9lb 1oz... Right, i've got to get ready now as i'm taking him to the doctors, he's suffering with constipation!!! Poor chap... I'll be back on later though... Where in Plymouth do you live??? I lived in Glenholt for 30 years before moving to Saltash, then to Callington... Sara

Ive copied this fromt he MSN group Ella and I both use. Sending u ((((hugs))) Ella. Take care of urself x

Jo's done a fab job of keeping you all updated...ill tell you all the full story now.

On monday i went in cos my bp over weekend high so they decided to admit me cos i was having flashing lights in front of my eyes. all my blood tests came back clear and i wasnt having any protien in my urine or anything like that so they said ive got pregnancy induced hypertension and then decided to give me blood pressure medication!

While in there i had los of CTG's done (baby monitoring) and basically i have a really lazy baby (gotta be a boy lol) who was sleeping ALOT and they wanting to keep on monitoring me to make sure babes was ok. one time i think i was on there for about 4hrs and during that time the baby was only awake for about an hour and the babys heartrate kept on dropping very very low but was coming back up again very quickly. Very scary stuff.......at that point i was told to call steve and get him to come in.

Thats when i had an internal done and sweep to try and start things off and i was about 2-3cms. during having that done the babys heart beat and fine and i had a scan done to check everthing and then went down to the delivery suite to see the docs down there. after they had a listen and stuff they said they think it was the baby playing with its cord (cheeky monkey!) but i still had to be on the monitor constantly to check it didnt happen again. but it didnt do thats ok and we where both ok!!!

After having my sweep things did start slighty and i did feel different but it wasnt enough and it all stopped again so yesterday i was allowed to come home.

My blood pressure is still high even tho im on meds. im having the mw out twice a day to see me and ive gotta go to the day assessment ward again on monday to be checked out.

they wont induce me unless i start to have protein in my urine but i think im ok with that now im being monitored properly even tho im at home.

I still wont be on here much cos im on strict bed rest even got my mother in law coming down later to do me some dinner and u all know how much i cant stand her lol but ive gotta do whats best for me and the baby now!!!!

Thankyou again for all the messages and i will pop back on every now and again to give you a update.
Im hoping now im home its all gonna start off.....im still getting very strong brackon hicks so keep ur fingers crossed for me wont u

Lots of love from me and bump xxxxx (hopefully baby soon lol)

Hi Sara. Welcome to Plymouth mummies. Im Jo, 23 and mummy to Lucy who turned 2 in May. Congrats on the birth of Saul. Glad u are coping well with the night feeds and not suffering too much with the lack of sleep. Hope u get on ok at the docs and the doc can give Saul something for his constipation, the poor lil mite.

Hi Leanne, Not got much planend for today tbh just the usual boring stuff: housework, shopping etc. im popping over to my mums later for a couple hours and ive got to pop into town later aswell but other than that just another boring day. Yeah my post count has shot up on M&B in the last day or 2. Im no longer a newbie now that Ive got over 500 posts-yipee!!! Ive been neglecting M&B lately and spending all my time on Vertellech so thought id pop on last night and have a quick catch up to see who is ttc, who is preggers and who has had their lo. I hardly know any1 on there now tho bcos we've all jumped ship and moved over to Vertellech (much friendlier and far less bitching)- u should come and join us.Im the only Plymouth mummy on there atm Ill email the link in a mo x

Hi ya everyone how u all doing? Feels like ive been away from here for years not weeks lol!!

Rebecca and Ellie are doing well. They are 2 weeks old today - Where have th elast weeks gone? They are slowly putting on weight. Rebecca is now 5lb 8oz and Ellie 5lb 9oz. Ellie is a little piggy and take 3-4oz every feed where as Rebecca will soemtimes only 2-3 oz. Im loving being a mum but defo dont want anymore.

Hey Laura, Glad to read that u and your gorgeous girls are doing so well. Lucy and I are great thanks.

Yeah id love to. I'll give u a txt over the weekend to sort a day and time out
Got any plans for the weekend? x

Morning everyone,

Just popped on while my oh and step son (ooh that seems wierd typing that) are still asleep. Ryan ( my step son) was sooo excited lst night when we picked him up, didn't stop talking for most of the 2 hour drive home, then fell fast asleep within 15mins of home. For all those having sleeping dificulties - it does get much better, the problem then comes when you have to wake them up in the mornings, he's defo taken after his dad - always grumpy in the morning ;-)

Sara, welcome to the board! I'm a Plymouth wannabe mummy, we've just started TTC and my oh has a 5 year old from his previous marriage (to a witch lol) Good luck with the weight loss, I lost 5 stone for my weding earlier this year so it can be done but I sympathise, it was v v hard work.

Jo, sounds like you are best out of that job. I know it can be hard moving on but sometimes it's for the best. I'm having similar problems in work at the mo, where this week they told me I have a serious attitude problem and noone wants to deal with me. Nice! Uncalled for, it really upset me cos I'm v placid normally, but unfortunately a typical redhead! So I'm sending big hugs your way and a big "sod em all, lets look after number one".

Laura, I have so much respect for you coping with twins. Is your oh giving you lots of help?

Lets hope for Ella's sake that her lo puts in an appearance son, must be awful dragging on like that. Typical boy to be lazy lol

Fingers crossed this sun stays in the sky, we're having a BBQ with my parents later at their house.

Have a good weekend
Corinna x

Morning Corrina,

Fingers crossed the weather holds out for you and you have a lovely BBQ.

My oh Ryan has been fantastic. He has helped out loads. He goes back to work on Monday tho after 2 weeks paternity leave so we'll see how well I cope with 2 babies when im all on my own with them. Im hoping bcos we r in a nice routine im not going to struggle too much especially as im gonna be really busy for the next few months. Not only am I gonna have 2 babies to look after we are getting married in February (valentines day) so I gotta start plannning and organising that x

Hope everyone is well this morning and have a nice day x

Aww how lovely to get married on Valentine's Day. If you've got any questions about weddings feel free to ask me, we did it 3 1/2 months ago, and I'd do it again tomorrow if I could! Obviously to the same man lol. Feel free to email me cor_99@hotmail.com

A routine should help you a lot, does your mum live locally so that she could help if you needed her?

Got to go play helicopters LOL

Take care all
Corinna x

Aww thank u I may well take u up on that. I'll be coming to u with all kinds of questions. I dont really know where to start tbh. All is know is I only plan on getting married once in my life so its gotta be perfect. I want the fairytale princess wedding ive always dreamt of. Ims o exciting I cant wait. Suprsingly considering I had twins I didnt put on much weight during the pregnancy so im hoping within a month or so ill be back to my pre pregnncy weight/sizre so then I can start the fun bit..shopping for my dress! I know exactly what dress I want. I saw it in a catolgue a couple years ago and I fell in love with. Its gorgeous its cerise pink and its so me!

Yes Ive got plenty of fmaily around em who will help out with Rebecca and Ellie if I need them too but im lil miss independant so I want do as much as I can by myself. i hate having to reply on others.

Anyway gotta go Ellie is screaminbg for a feed.

hi everyone, hope ur all well.

i soooo want my baby to arrive now! im feeling like crap all the time even tho im on blood pressure med's its still very high, last night it was 156/96! they wont induce me until i start to get protein in my sample! grrrrr!!!

never mind think the baby is trying to make its apperance im getting stronger brakon hickes everyday so hopefully they will turn into proper contractions soon.

hope everyone is well and looking after themselves.

lots of love from ella xxxx

Hello Ella,
Sending u lots of big ((hugs))

Morning everyone, How u all doin today?

Corrina, hope u are enjoying having ur step son stay with u. Fingers crossed the weather will stay nice for ur bbq later x

Hi Laura, Hows u 2day? oooooo the wedding dress u described sounds lush. Who is it designed by? It sounds just like the dress I have in mind for when I get married one day (just gotta find a bloke first and after the last idiot im bieng very picky and selective so that could take some time lol). Apparently I announced to my mum when I was 5 years old that when I was grew up I was going to marry a prince in a pink princess gown lol. If u need a hand organsing the wedding im happy to help out. My mum and I are in the very early stages of putting together a business plan for own events and wedding planning business. Its something we've both wanted to do for a long time so have decided to go for it. Hopefully it should all be up and running within 2 years.

Ella, just been chattin 2 u on MSN but thought id say hi here anyway. Take care of urself chic x
