Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

@ELBlack only just seen this! Think MN likes to pick and choose when to notify you :p.

Had my scan today. All was perfect, measuring at 13 weeks exactly so EDD is 22nd November xx

@Mariex1989 that's good you're feeling better! Putting on the weight is a good thing now 😁

@ELBlack oh gosh bless ya! Just make sure you get lots of rest ☹️ Hopefully it’s just a one off for you.

My symptoms aren’t too bad now thanks. Just nauseous every now and again but definitely eased. I’ve lost half a stone with being so sick for a few weeks, but it’s definitely going to creep back up now I’ve found my appetite again!

@Mariex1989 I've felt horrendous today. I think my whooping cough vaccine kicked it off, but I was so sick and in bed all day! Otherwise, feeling much better.

How are your symptoms?

@ELBlack ah that’s good, at least they’re ordered now ☺️
I haven’t bought anything massive just a few clothes that I couldn’t resist and a monitor as it was on really good offer so couldn’t leave it. I’ll try refrain now for a bit 🙈

How’re you feeling? Has all your sickness/other lovely pregnancy symptoms gone now? x

Thank you @Foundmyfeet nope, no names yet!!
Oh gosh, not surprised it's hard to get there. Is it on the 'green' list? Hoping it all goes smoothly for you!

@Mariex1989 I didn't buy anything until after my dating scan, and I only got a blanket and a baby grow, but we ordered some bigger stuff last night as it takes months to come! I didn't want to get loads of stuff until after the 20 week scan, but each to their own! They're so fun to shop for though 😍

@ELBlack so lovely to be able to refer to her as “she” and “her” now too ☺️
Have you bought much baby stuff? I think I’m going a bit eager and already got a fair few items!

@Foundmyfeet I’m guessing boy too! Purely just because OH’s family are very boy heavy, I’d fall over in shock if it’s a girl.

Yeyyyy at least you’re finally getting to go! What’s the plan? How are you feeling about it? xx

Hey ladies!

@ELBlack - whoop whoop! Congrats! Team pink!! How exciting. And so wonderful to hear all is well. You can start shopping all pink stuff now. Have you got any names in mind?

@Mariex1989 - so excited for your scan next week and your gender scan next month. I'm going to guess a boy.

DH and I are off to Athens on May 30th. There are so many hoops to jump just to get out of the bloody country! Honest to God! And it costs a small fortune before we've even left!

@Mariex1989 it's so exciting to be closer to meeting her than the time that's already gone by!

@ma

@ELBlack eeeek massive congratulations that’s lovely news! How scary/amazing is it that you’re half way through now!?! 💗

@Mariex1989 @Foundmyfeet my gut feeling was right, we are having a daughter! 😍 Healthy little girl, so happy xx

@ELBlack eeek so excited for you! Let us know how you get on ☺️ I’m sticking to my guess of girl from your scan pic 💗.

Yeah hopefully it will go quick, it has up until now anyway x

@Mariex1989 it will come so quickly though! Yes, I have my scan on Monday. I'll be 20+4 😁 so excited

@ELBlack aw no worries 😊.

It’s still aaaages away, I’ve booked a private gender scan for the 12th June as I’m impatient and can’t wait for the nhs one 😅.

Yours must be soon right???

Haven’t even had my first scan yet, that’s on the 17th. I’ll be 12 weeks this Monday but hopefully the week will fly as I’m so anxious 🙈 x

@Mariex1989 just seeing this!! I don't know from old wives tales, but I think girl simply because everyone is saying girl 😂😂

When can you find out?xx

@ELBlack eeeeek how exciting! Do you not have any inckling what it could be? Going off old wives tales anyway :p.

I’m still convinced I’ll have a boy, but people that know think girl because of how sick I’ve been, but god knows how much truth is in those theories! xx

@Mariex1989 sorry to hear your sickness has been bad! Hopefully it continues to ease off.

Yeah it's much better than it was, but I do still have bad hours here and there. Yes, we are definitely going to find out. I really don't know what it will be! So I am so excited

Hey!!
@Foundmyfeet I’m good thanks 😊. My sickness has been almost unbearable the last few weeks but it seems to be easing off a bit now, just nauseous and no physical vomiting for the last couple days, hopefully means it’s starting to bugger off!
I had another private scan when I was 9 weeks and it was crazy seeing how much it had grown. Baby was kicking/fidgeting away, the sonographer was saying it must be an active one as they don’t usually see much movement that early, looks like I have a wriggler on my hands! I have my “12” week scan on the 17th, but I’ll actually be 13 weeks then.
That’s crazy about your sample not reaching! But a fab excuse for a nice trip to Greece!
Aww bless you, hope you had a strong drink yesterday to get the thought of the BFP out of your mind ☹️.

Aww @ELBlack perfect bump 😍😍😍!! Oh my gosh still sickness? Nice to hear you’re feeling good about it all though.
Have you decided to definitely find out? Eeeek can’t wait for you!

@Foundmyfeet thank you! I have found it quite strange, but definitely loving it more now I could pass for pregnant and feeling little movements. So far they've all been really subtle but yesterday there was one big kick or punch 😂 haha that's so much fun!! She must have loved the music and all the dancing!

Next scan is 10th May, so I will be 20+4. I'll let you know the sex after!

Oh god, so sorry it never got there. I don't think it's a sign of anything, just given you the opportunity for a nice few days away, especially over your anniversary. Ah gosh, sorry to hear that. I hope you had some wine and a nice evening and you weren't feeling too upset xx

*raving not racing! Who goes racing in Ibiza?! Lol!

@ELBlack oh what a perfect little bump! Cooking nicely! I loved feeling the kicks. At first they felt like little bubbles rising in my belly and then one day she gave me a good boot! Lol! I went racing in Ibiza at 5 months pregnant and she was going ballistic in my belly.
When's your next scan?
My sample didn't reach Athens. Don't know what happened. It's not even found it's way back to me despite having put my address on the back of the parcel. Trying not to think that it's a sign that I shouldn't do it? Anyway, the clinical director suggested we go out there for 3 days for the assessments so DH and I are planning on doing so at the end of this month. We're going to combine it as our anniversary celebration too.
I just realised that it was a year ago today (1st May) that I had my last BFP which obviously didn't end well. Oh well.

Hi @Foundmyfeet I'm good thank you! Starting to get a good bump now and feeling kicks 😍 still feeling sick but much less than I was. Today was bad when it was here, but passed quite quickly each time it came. How are you? Any news from Athens?

Hi ladies, thought I'd just check in. How are you both doing?

@Mariex1989 so happy that you are getting all the "good" symptoms! lol! Don't worry, they'll pass after a few weeks and you'll be In full bloom.

Not heard back from Athens yet. Hopefully next week.

We're off to Center Parcs. Can't bloody wait! Already preparing my shopping list for ingredients for cocktails!
