Good luck with the travelling pineapple

No snow here, but I am in the CIs, so snow is incredibly rare for us. Off to Scotland right after Christmas so hoping to see some snow then!

I had my appt with the GP today - blood pressure is quite low, but other than that I am in perfect condition. Nurse took what felt like LITRES of blood from me, then gave me the flu jab which wasn't the best start to my day, but at least it was over in one go.

pineapple have a good trip. Like the idea of visiting 'far easy'

Oh, no snow in Edinburgh. Surrounding areas have had some. I love it...need to get my butt in gear and purchase some new snow boots.

A dusting of snow here! Had midwife this morning. Baby's heartrate was racing at 180! She sent me out to wait then retested and it was 140 then climbed 150,155,158. She said not to worry as when they do a trace babies are like this and it can up to 190 and back down again as they move etc. But of course I am worrying now.

I'm sure you just have a very active baby teddy.

I'm starting to get really nervous about my scan tomorrow. Don't want to go in on my own, but can get a babysitter for ds. Don't think dh will be allowed to have him in the scan room?

Is the 12 week one? Here they say no children. Maybe if they everything is ok they might then ask you DH and DS in? Are there any friends that could help out?

Yep, 12 week scan. I think it would be pretty sensible to have a no children policy to be honest. The scan is before 9am, so not the easiest time to get a babysitter for.

Hmm, how old is your DS curiosity? Could you take a book, cbeebies mag, iPhone etc etc to keep him happy for a short while? It'll not be very long.

I'm frozen as I went to watch my old team play netball against our sister team (both teams from my church) and blimey it was apparently -5 tonight!

Just got back to catch up on a bit of tonight's Masterchef and then a relatively early night

Curiosity I had to take DS to my appointment with me because he was off school due to very last minute illness and it was either take him/cancel the scan. I also took my mum with me and they waited outside for the measurement bit but then the sonographer went to get them when she'd finished. They saw just as much as I did because whilst she was measuring she didn't speak to me/show me anything anyway. Fingers crossed you get it sorted one way or another. Hoe you enjoy your scan btw!

It's been freezing here today (DS fell on some ice on the way to school this morning) but no snow as of yet.

Feel absolutely exhausted but have only just finished sorting out some work issues. Going to head up to bed and try and get some sleep (despite the work issues and pregnancy insomnia). Hope you all sleep well. <Sleepy emoticon>

Hey guys, I've been lurking somewhat with nothing to post but keeping up with all your antics!

I'm around 10 weeks now, and had my booking appointment yesterday, and the midwife managed to hear the heartbeat with a doppler, so lucky to catch it so early! The bit I'm most pleased about is that she told me that she'd give it a go because I was so slim
The caveat to that is I've been so nauseous I've lost a kilo in the last 2 weeks.

pineapple I hope you're having a good trip.

It's my first pregnancy so I can't really help with child at scan issues, although I can see why it's sensible not to have them in the room, just in case there's something wrong (although fingers crossed that's not the case for any of us)

Successful scans! Got six amazing pictures and three scans due to uncooperative baby. It kept just facing the screen and dancing about It's meant to give you a better scan if you have something sugary first? Never heard that before, but went away and ate a mars bar. Then the baby decided to lie in the traditional position.

Ds {15 months} kept everyone entertained in the waiting room. Probably gave a couple of first timers the fear of having a toddler. They let him and dh come in after the measurements were taken. Really pleased

Oh, meant to say. Measuring 3 days ahead of my calculated dates. Big baby? Hope not!

Hi Persuasion!

Glad the scan went well Curiosity

Who's going to start the next thread? Are Manda and Tired the furthest along?

Yay great scan news curiosly and nice Xmas name too by the way. I'm in the lead at 34 weeks I think yes wing but not sure about starting threads I only ever use my phone. manda cone back we need you!

Thanks teddy. Someone gave me the name on a Christmas thread.

34 weeks, little teddy will be here in no time

Well in the absence of Manda and Something, I'm next and as we're getting close to the end, I'll set it up (on my work laptop ). Hope that's okay?

Hi, hope you're all well.

Congrats on the scan Curiously

I've been told that I am not immune to Ruebella (German measels). I am seeing my mw next week, so hoping that this is something that I can be vaccinated against asap. I don't want to Google what happens to babies who catch it in the womb, but I know it's not good.

Yay wing thanks! I'd blame the pregnancy brain but I think I just don't get thread making really. It's adding the links that scares me! Ha ha!

New fred over HERE!!

Bit fiddly with all those fred links but I think it's fine. Don't know what my boss will make of all the shagging and shagg out references on my site addresses!

Blimey child how did they find that out? Did you not have the jab in the 2nd year (if my old brain remembers correctly) at secondary school?

They found out from my normal bloods at 12 weeks. I had immunity when I was last pregnant, but apparently it ran out. I did have the innocs at the right age, yes.

I didn't know immunity to something could run out. Gosh - you learn something new every day

Post number 999...

ONE THOUSAND! Hurrah!!
