Freak out room for those newly updiffed after MC to hold hands and support each other...

Just a quickie: velvet teacake I am going to say this only once.... STEP AWAY FROM THE CB DIGI. they have not the foggiest clue how far gone you are. If you don't believe me, look up the range of normal HCG at each week pregnant. It is huge and they overlap. How's it supposed to know where to put you? Seriously, dacha almost sent herself round the bend with those things-save yourself the stress!!!!

If you're really worried, see if you can convince your GP to do a couple of blood tests to see the HCG rise.

I'll get back in my box again now.... As you were...

velvet I flew to Mauritius when 5 weeks pg with ds (same issue, booked holiday as ttc had taken a while). Only problem was I was bleeding on the way there - so horrid flight dashing to the loo thinking I was miscarrying. Then got ms on holiday at 7 weeks so flight back was horrible due to nausea. DS got his first telling off at 7+3 for making his mummy worry so much.

Haven't even thought about my booking in appointment. I won't for a while. All I know is I'm 6+2 today. No idea when I'll be 12 or 20 weeks, am deliberately not working it out. Will see what happens Friday and take it from there.

Good luck to those with scans tomorrow.

Here is the Soldier 7 months pregnant story

tunnock freaky - We're in Ireland for Easter through to May Day bank holiday weekend - we're flying though so i'll look out for your boat as we go over :)

Dachs you can get Krispy Kreme at Paddington - I know because I've done it myself. Not sure if I can describe it properly but it's in the shopping bit through the glass from where you come up from the tube platform into the station bit... I'm sure customer services will be able to point you in the right direction :)

And fx for your scan too :)

Had a massive argument with DH yesterday evening - actually told him that if he didn't grow up I would be through with the f*ing marriage. Then DS walked into the room and we did the thing of pretending it had never happened until DS was asleep when we had a really rather grown up discussion about everything that is making us both unhappy. We then had a lovely time cooking together - something we used to do a lot but haven't recently and then DH was perfect this morning - helped me with DS etc etc...

arrggh tunnocks you have got me stressing coz I am 4+3 but my cb digi only said 1-2 weeks on Friday but yours said 2-3

nix would you not fly coz of the risks or just coz it's annoying?

good luck to scanners tomorrow - Dachs im sure both pups are fine :)

velvet just saw thing about flying. I flew to NYC when 10/11 weeks pg with DS. Didn't even occur to me that it might be a problem. But then didn't think anything was a problem in that pregnancy - the joy of preMC ignorance...

Knitter I saw that story too! How???

As for my friend, I don't know how she did it both times. I wish I could be so laid back about erm, cycles and the like.

tunnocks agree re robins pilot friend being lucky. Would be so nice to just skip this phase and be able to relax and enjoy being pg just a little bit..

Mind you when I read that story about the soldier who was serving frontline in Iraq/Afghanistan and didn't realise she was pg until 7 months did make me very

knitter good luck at scan xx
Nope i dont fancy cream in donuts either... and yuk to custard ones! I dont frequent train stations much these days, maybe thats why? They only really have costa/M&S/Waitrose on the motorway network

Re the flight thing. tis a personal choice velvet i personally wouldnt! I flew to cyprus at 5 months pg and that was tough...upping and downing every 5 mins for a wee..I would talk to your carrier, I would also talk to your holiday insurer. (make sure you have cover for any pg related treatment you may need, as it costs the earth abroad) Ferry to france is my preference for this year with a 3 yo and a bump! A nice luxurious commodore cabin and DH and DS can romp about to their hearts content! well.. i say luxurious ...or camping in Devon . Tis your choice, weigh up the pros and cons and listen to the advice available. I think the risks are much less during trimester two :)

And brian how are you ? Any top tips for us lately? Hope you are keeping well.

knitter I'm still having a scan tomorrow - I'm petrified though - I'm so sure that there won't still be two there. I'm hoping there will be at least one though. And I'm feeling really miserable because DH and I keep rowing about stuff - partly my fault for being pg and stroppy but also because he keeps telling me not to worry and stress and that stress is bad for the baby/babies. Yeah - I know that, but it doesn't mean I can magically stop worrying...

good luck with yours knitter :)

velvet good to see you've adopted us properly! :) As far as i know there's no prob with flying in the first trimester, so my doc tells me anyway.

wombat congrats on the appointment and FX for the scan :)

Velvet Oooh, Japan. Now there's fancy, eh? I won't pretend I'm not jealous. About flying, my lovely friend is a pilot and in neither of her pgs has she realised that she's updiffed until around 10 weeks and had flown a hell of a lot until then with no bad effects at all. I would say just make sure you stretch your legs a lot, drink lots of water and enjoy.

Wombat hurrah for the booking appointment. I guess the scan can't come soon enough for you.

And Brian obviously - sorry for inadvertant sex descrimination then

wombat thanks - you ladies are all so lovely

velvet in theory flying is fine but i took the decision that it was european flights only for me when I was pg with DS... not sure if that helps....

And I'm 6 weeks today :)

Just looked back at the old fred and it's me, Dachs, Silver and Barbie who are listed as having scans tomorrow - haven't seen Silver and Barbie on here recently though.... And wonder if Dach's has been superceded by other pup2 related scans??

Good luck for tomorrow Knitter!!! and everyone else having Tuesday scans xxx

Ok, am back from Centre Parcs and in need of about a weeks worth of sleep (in fact, can I just sleep for the next 8 weeks please??)and this beanbag seems as good a place as any :)

How far along is everyone then? I've managed to work out some but am awful at remembering stuff that isnt on the same page

I still have brown goo, it has been a lot less today though. AF due tomorrow so hopefully it will start to settle down from then. I have always had issues with brown stuff in normal cycles so maybe I'll just have to get used to it.

So I have another question for you - since I had given up hoping to be diffed we had booked a trip to Japan in 6 weeks time. I have read up about flying in the first trimester and some places say its fine while others say its not. Any words of wisdom?

I hope everyone is doing ok today :) I dont like Krispy Kremes btw

Thanks Owl. I think if we can't see at the NHS one we might go for broke and book another private one to try and get some more detail so we can start to tell people.

I'm with you on the jam doughtnuts Krispy Creme - yuck!

re scans I think there is 3 of us tomorrow... can't remember who though sorry - far too self-obsessed

Right that's it I'm definitely buying a box next time I go past the krispy creme shop for you all - the worlds MOST amazing donuts. Maybe they're only in London? I'm sure I've seen them elsewhere though.... Definitely shops in quite a lot of mainline train stations. Feeling quite sad for all of you that have never taken this step into donut heaven....
