Oh Tunnocks, I'm so, so pleased for you! That's fab news. And re the dates, I'm sure I've heard the very wise people on here say that things can measure up to two weeks either way at the start, so don't be disheartened.

wrote a big loooong post that got eaten..

pink yey on the stubby arms and legs - fab news Grin i think you should come and stay with me for the weekend.. dressing a toddler who has a strong mind and doesnt want to be doing it...wants to be naked is a serious thing...!! ooohhhh the things to come Grin Grin

Good luck teacake

owl brill on the doppler :) ive been quite restrained... but no doubt will go next week. felt quite a bit of rippling going on last night under the skin... freaky! Grin Like there are giant worms inside the tummy :) 3lbs? well feck a duck! good nora, i think i put that on the day i found out about the BFP! Even my legs are fatter...WTF? I have to say though, may be curvier than normal, but....feeling pg shaped :) heavy boobs and the gentle swelling of a baby bump (even though its probably wind/bloating/poo!) makes me look very pg Grin I am however a very funny shape anyway Confused

Orange and mamap those dreams will probably continue to haunt you until you deliver. I am still experiencing them.. not so much now as i think i am starting to relax a little... just a little!... but they still come and go Hmm vivid dreams is a symptom.. MC dreams is your subconscious. They can be Veryyyy real though huh? many a morn i have scrambed out of bed to knicker check :(

Gosh will you just look at that list... we've got 4 into the supposed safe zone...not long now before we will all be there, and getting ready to deliver :)

mamapower · 04/03/2011 11:28

pink great news - whoooop Grin

teackake we'll be virtually holding your hand [smile

Orange I knew there was another scanner today aside from pink and tea but Brian wouldn't help me in remembering who, good luck lovely Smile I've had a couple of anxiety dreams, not nice, hopefully they'll sod off after your scan today. I think I might be heading towards topping your 8llb weight gain by 12 weeks Blush

owlbooty · 04/03/2011 11:05

Owlet misbehaved as usual and kept dodging the MW's listening thingy. I expect nothing less of him. Am hoping that by hearing him now I will be less anxious about the scan in 10 days' time. Grin

Pink Hoorah! It is indeed staggering how much they grow in just a week. Glad it went well :)

PinkFondantFancy · 04/03/2011 10:59

Hehe don't worry knitter, it was incompetent fat fingeredness on my part!

KnitterNotTwitter · 04/03/2011 10:37

Whoops - sorry not to wish you luck Pink list says your next scan is 4/4... is that right or was it 4/3 only? Glad bean is a lovely little waterbaby... so cute!

PinkFondantFancy · 04/03/2011 10:30

Also special individual shout-out to tunnocks -I really really hope it's good news. I'll be thinking of you xx

PinkFondantFancy · 04/03/2011 10:27

Hello nice ladies!

Thanks for all the good luck messages-scan went well! I'm completely overwhelmed at how much the little bean has changed in a week-last week it just had little stubs for arms and legs, this week it was swimming around and then chilled out with its legs crossed Grin I still find it staggering that a little miracle is happening while I'm completely oblivious apart from feeling a bit pukey....

nix your cat has serious attitude! Scary!

mamap you are very inspiring-I'm going to practice being more like you from now on! :)

aandr hehe I did look at that thread, it was hilarious!! Sadly I've done most of those things!!!

emoo hope the counselling goes well this afternoon!

orange best of luck for this afternoon lovely. I hope cheeky little orange-fink behaves itself!

knitter were the pants not enough motivation for your DS to get dressed this morning? I am Envy of dinosaur pants-I want some!! I hope you chunk through your work ok today.

Talking of work, I should probably think about doing some myself....

KnitterNotTwitter · 04/03/2011 09:53

Morning ladies

Am knackered this morning after an epic battle to get DS clothes on. He kept shouting 'I'm not ready' which was very tiresome!

First councelling session since the scan this afternoon so we'll have lots to talk about.

FX for orange and tunnocks who are scanning today...

Emoo · 04/03/2011 09:48

Morning all!
Hoping for a less exciting day today after my drive-by shooting yesterday... and have a shedload of work to do, so have vowed not to come and talk to you again after this until I've made some significant progress.

Pink - super good luck for your scan today. I did laugh at the crazed mum thing when it got to her description and said she was "well-built". No shit!

Teacake - thinking about you also, and keeping fingers crossed for you.

Orange - hope your scan goes well too, and am trusting that your subconscious is just being very naughty indeed.

Owl - 3 lbs only with daily cake?? Very [envy}

nix - glad you survived your cat encounter..

wombat - thanks for the muffins! Hope Brian isn't too much of a nuisance today.

digi - hope you are having a lovely snuggly duvet/sofa day with DS

knitter - still salivating at the crumpets/croissants!

Ladybee - glad things went smoothly for you and you were well looked after. I do so hope you get your wish to see pregnancy before the year end, and hopefully even before then.

owlbooty · 04/03/2011 09:15

Have been thinking of you this last week, dear, and hoping you're okay. Very glad you had lovely hospital people to care for you. x

I quite fancy some fruit mentos now.

Good luck today all with scans!

Wombat33 · 04/03/2011 08:08

morning! It.s another manic day here so just a v quick one to send lots of lovely squishy hugs to bee xxx

Good luck to orange and any other scanners today!

OrangeGloss · 04/03/2011 06:54

Onions I'd put on 8lbs in first 12 weeks Blush glad the crumpets helped, good idea for carb stash
Daisy glad you have a good MW who is doing something to help
Pink excellent news on the puking, long may it continue :) I'd do wee pot, they made me wee on a multicolor strip which didn't do last time, and my aim ain't that good! I'm gonna try the link to the 10 week stats stats says 99.4% for hb at 10 weeks
Emoo great news on the scan!! :) :) and good news too they don't want to see you til 12 weeks
AandR that sounds adorable :) hopefully you'll be puking in no time too
Dachs great news for you too!! :) :) and good you got MS reassurance
Bee (((hugs))) I do hope you get your wish, and there is no reason why you won't x

I haven't been sleeping, and last night was terrible, had red blood dream :( I've felt relaxed about the scan but obviously naughty subconscious isn't. My apps at 4.40 so if all ok I'll sleep after that

Fx for the other scanners and their beans x

mamapower · 03/03/2011 22:04

lady you amaze me with your strength and spirit Smile I wish for you, that your wish comes true xxx

nickstermum · 03/03/2011 22:03

Fecking cat, just tried to kill me! she ladder-esque climbed up the shelves then promptly fired the bloody large photo albums off the top one whilst i was sitting at the desk 10 feet below..now is trying to murder a plastic bag and chew the phone wire while shes at it... obviously run out of rabbits to murder. This is 1kilo cat btw

Lady great to see you on here, welcome anytime my sweet. Glad its over and done with, hope your emotional recovery doesnt take too long xx Well done you for being so chipper xxx

St Davids for those who are brave and strong enough to not let fear ruin their pg enjoyment xxx inspiring :)

KnitterNotTwitter · 03/03/2011 21:48

Pink it was my DS with the new pants

Lady lovely to hear from you and I hope, hope, hope that your wishes and dreams come true... Will be looking out for you on the pg threads later in the year....

AandRMum · 03/03/2011 21:17

Wine cheers to that pink

PinkFondantFancy · 03/03/2011 21:15

Really lovely to see you lady, am so glad the ERPC went as well as it could. I'll toast you seeing out the year diffed and loving life in NZ Wine xx

AandRMum · 03/03/2011 21:15

LadyB fab to 'see' you Glad you made it through today. It is truly crappy and I hope you get a lovely Christmas pressie or at least a lovely bump to be rubbing. When do you head off?

PinkFondantFancy · 03/03/2011 21:13

Oh by the way, i cant remember who posted it but the thought of your little boy being chuffed with his dinosaur pants has made me smile all day :) such a sweet story!

Ladybee · 03/03/2011 21:11

I am lurking, yes Blush. God I'm such a pregnancy junkie, I love all the pregnant chat, it's one of the things that pisses me off so much about the miscarriages - I'm a really good preggo Grin Oh well, maybe I'll get my chance later this year (crosses fingers)

Glad to see more good scans, I really hope it continues.

I had my ERPC yesterday, and it all went smoothly - lovely lovely consultant and anaesthetist and very sympathetic nurses. Emotionally, Tuesday was rough and today has been ok, but a bit teary while putting the maternity clothes that I'd just found and taken down from the cupboard back in their box Sad.

I'm not giving up hope, but am feeling very sad that there won't be an addition to our family this year - my dearest wish now is that I'll see the year out pregnant and happy in our new country.

I'll be hanging about I'm sure...thanks for thinking of me, it does mean a lot.

AandRMum · 03/03/2011 21:03

PMSL Pink most definitely updiffed. My crazy friend at Uni once did a full on toddler tantrum in a supermarket once (primarily to freak me out) Little did she know that as the Aunt of 13 nephews and nieces I was well versed in tantrums and simply stepped over her - very bewildered onlookers!

I am feeling the same conflicting mantras Pink - I have a feeling for me it is just going to be time. I keep saying to myself - 'There is nothing I can do to change the outcome, so let go of it'.

If you need a good laugh - head over to the Life Lessons in discussions of the day.

mamapower · 03/03/2011 21:02

why thank you knitter not bad yourself Wink
