Got rumbled pink, peeps keptcomibg in the office for a goss which is v unusual! Have fessed up to one peep who told her pal, who promptly hugged me then took my bags from me!! FFs. Pink you crack me up with your smug bump rubbing envy.... I do the bump rubbing, it's natural y'know :) you prob do it subconsciously :) and other women are death staring at you !

Dachs prepare to get porky xx

Mama the time is just romping away now! 16 week bloods on Monday. I now have spaghetti junction norks anda lovely defined bump :) :)

Live I will bookface you Tomor... Been up to eyeballs today, shitty customer!

oh by the way - if you're more comfortable in an underwire you don't have to switch to non-structured bras, just make sure you get properly fitted. It's only if you decide to BF that you really need to go to a nursing bra - of course if you're aching at night, then a sleep bra might help - I used them first time around with DS but my boobs are much less sore this time around (because they've already been bigger?? who knows?).

Ladybee · 16/02/2011 20:41

Wow wow wow Dachs that's completely amazing news! Isn't that just so mind-bending to see how much it can vary! I'm so pleased it's turned out this way - daunting I'm sure to contemplate twins but you'll be very well looked after Grin

Mamapower · 16/02/2011 19:55

love go on figleaves and check out hot milk.... some v pretty and quite sexy maternity lingerie. I'll point nix and pink in your direction on fb Smile

Mamapower · 16/02/2011 19:52

Dachs, yippppppeeee for 2 beans Grin Grin

wombat choccie and lemon good luck for your scans tomorrow, we're all offering a virtual hand Smile

Lady sorry you have had a tearful day, dreaded due date, gets us all ((hugs))

pink I have my booking in appointment tomorrow, surely it can't be right to make you wait that long. However, everything will be fine, Ill have to haddock you for scan dependency Grin Grin

digi glad the cramps have eased.

Hi onion welcome to the mad house Grin

Dachs announcement has reminded we haven't seen Bouncer for a while, are you lurking TTT ?? Hope all is well

nix where the hell is the time going?? You'll be having a 20 week scan before you know it (oooooh I can't wait for that day)

lovemysleep · 16/02/2011 19:35

Dachs that is such good news - big smiles and hugs here! Yay!x

Choccie hope it's all good news tomorrow x

Pink it's yukky when you get a craving that makes you feel crapper after it. Hope the scan situation works out ok though too. Am with you on the norks too! Just trying to hold out before I have to go and buy some maternity bras, but am already bursting out. Hard to find nice ones too. Also, tried to find you on FB and also nick, but don't think I could.......am probably being a dipstick, suspect my IQ is falling at an alarming rate now am pg.....

Hello to everyone else I haven't mentioned - back is giving me gyp tonight, so am about to get myself comfy on the sofa. Would usually resort to some super-spacey painkillers if my back gets bad, but no can do now. Anyone know if you can get away with using those stick on heatpads when you are pg? x

PinkFondantFancy · 16/02/2011 19:21

dacha amaaazzzing news!!! That is soo cool, good news about the clot going away too!

lady good work on zen maintenance and exciting about handing in your notice!! Big DD hugs.

Hi onions I second lime and soda but remember not to drink it too fast otherwise people will think you're v v keen on gin. Oh and tell them not to serve it in a pint glass Grin

emoo your evening sounds bleak!!! Hope it goes ok!

nix anyone rumble you??

chocs sorry to hear about work, that really sucks. Is there any way you could tell your boss the situation and see if they can draft someone in to help you? Everything crossed for tomorrow, both for your scan and your DH.

digi and owl my MIL told me there's nothing wrong with my fertility, but that my attitude was holding me back.....

knitter I had a similar chat with DH last night. He is wildly optimistic about the whole thing and says no news is good news. I tried explaining that unfortunately that's not necessarily the case but he doesnt really understand why I haven't told everyone and aren't getting excited yet Confused

digi try and embrace the cramping, apparently it's a good thing.

owly why all the rage today?

lemon best of luck for scan tomorrow.

Waves to mamap and HK. Glad business plans are still going well mamap!!

News from me: I had an urgent need for jelly babies this afternoon so dashed to the shop, ate a whole bag in 15 mins.... Now I feel like shit. Can't believe it seemed like a good idea. No idea if it's jelly babies or ms now though-it was quite a few hours ago now.

Also, told one of my colleagues about being pg as have been doing random hours and not really pulling my weight-he fell around laughing and said he'd guessed as I've only worn new clothes for a week now- d-oh!! I've gone up a dress size due to the norks and doubtless the 100,000 calories a day are doing something too..... I'd better track down boss and fess up asap tomorrow....

Do any of you still have complete Envy Envy Envy of people with preggy bumps??? I caught myself giving death stares to a random girl on the platform that was smugly rubbing her bump this evening, when I remembered I too am diffed.... It still makes me want to cry, maybe it's because I so want this to work out but have no idea whether it will or not.

Also am a bit Angry cos I'm off to the gp on Friday to arrange mw booking in appt, which going on past experience will be on 12w+0. This means I won't get my "12w scan" until at least 14w. This means I'll have been completely shafted if it's inconclusive or I need more scans, cos private will only do it until 14w+6 and they have a long waiting list at the one in London that I'd use. Marvellous. I'd hoped to use private as a last resort as it's £170 for the nuchal test but looks like I might not get any choice. Still, if I make it to 14w I'll be so chuffed can't imagine I'll really be complaining about anything.

Have a lovely evening all! Xxxx

owlbooty · 16/02/2011 19:20

dachs That is tremendous news! Hoorah for Pup2! Grin Grin Grin

Choccie really hope tomorrow goes well for you and DH x

lemonsherbet · 16/02/2011 18:24

Dachs congratulations am so pleased for you

onion have a small ginger beer with bit of water in and you have whiskey

digi and owl and choccie my MIL felt the best time to ask me if I had experienced any pregnancy symptoms or morning sickness was whilst I was waiting for my ERPC.

choccie I do not feel pregnant either and in fact I POAS this evening just to make sure it was still positive Confused

orange Happy Birthday

and my memory is just not holding up so can I just wave to everyone else.

nickstermum · 16/02/2011 18:07

oh dachs thats fantastic news..... Grin Grin Grin Grin

chocciechip · 16/02/2011 18:03

Hi ladies - I'm semi-lurking. Just got so much work on I don't know what to do with myself. I have a project that I estimate will take me until early April to complete and received minutes today from 'those that be' saying it needs to be done by 9th March - the day before my 12 week scan (if I even get there). So annoyed. Can't handle the stress. Will be impossible to do but won't stop me feeling awful for not managing, and angry for having to try do that much at this time of my life.

dachs What incredible news! Grin

hi onions. Get your DH to order you a Beck's Blue without anyone else seeing. Alcohol free Becks - looks like lager but tastes like fizzy hops.

hk Glad I'm not the only lurker on here! I read, but just don't have time to respond.

digi and owl My mum told me in my second pg (just before my 2nd MC) that I needed to "think positive". I found that so irritating and also felt that if things went wrong it would be my fault for failing to 'think positive'. She'd be so unhappy to know I took it that way, because she's amazing really, but I think people who don't know will just never know. This time around I haven't told a soul ... my version of being able to 'think positive' is to not have people keep telling me to do so Smile

orange Happy birthday to you.

knitter I hunted out your AIBU thread as well and really laughed. If my DH tried that with me I'd say 'But of course dear' and then demand he pays for me to stay in a luxury hotel to get out of the situation. YA definately NBU!! That's very weird.

wombat good luck for tomorrow.

My next scan is early tomorrow morning, and then DH has a surgical procedure at a different hospital as a day patient and I need to be with him to drive him home. It's going to be a sh*t day if we get bad news in the morning then have the entire day to get through in a hospital waiting room for DH. My symptoms are totally gone, so not feeling too positive. DH is almost insane with stress and worry about the scan (weirdly, not his test).

hotnspicyonions · 16/02/2011 17:51

Thanks for the advice all and Dachs what great news!! Two little pups playing together in there! :) :) When I was PG with DS I thought I was not as far gone as I was. Remember the MW saying "that's a 20 week uterus or you have twins!" Was still getting over the shock of being pregnant and then got told by MIL that they had a history of twins in the family. Luckily, it was only the one though.

Hurrah - doubly good news dachs!! you must be over the moon!! Was your DH with you?

Emoo have fun (??) at Brownies Smile Hmm

DachshundsWantPuppies · 16/02/2011 17:40

Clot seems to have got smaller and pup1 is much bigger so less of a threat now they think

Ladybee big hugs for m/c dd xxx Hopefully getting past this marker will strengthen your zen for the next two weeks leading up to your scan xxx What date is yours? Mine's on Mon 28th (assuming all goes okay tomorrow with my extra viabilitiy scan).

DachshundsWantPuppies · 16/02/2011 17:38

I'm kind of in shock, but in a good way!

Erm, that would be fretters about early scans - oops!

Emoo · 16/02/2011 17:34

Woweeeeeee dachs brilliant news. I did so hope so, but wondered if my optimism was getting the better of me. Also is very good news for fritters about early scans, knowing that 2 eggs put in on the same day can implant and grow differently. So pleased. X

Will catch up more tomorrow, just off out to sit through 1.5 hrs of hell (parents invited to brownies, not sure why...)
