30th March, I think.
The EPU told me after mc to phone them at 7 weeks and they'd have me in at 8wks for a scan. That would be a few days before I go back to work which would be good. DH and I have already agreed if EPU change their policy then we're going to pay for a private scan at 8 weeks. Plannin on keeping a bucket on my head til then!

MummyLovesSadie · 20/07/2009 08:59

I used to get them all the time when I was pregnant with dd, I could also hear my pulse when I was laying in bed. It felt like my blood was literally racing through my body.

arrghhhh, i am having heart pulputations! its been like it for the last two days and then i feel sick after....today ive had it about 3 times already and its starting to freak me out, any ideas before i become demented by using the dreaded google!

MummyLovesSadie · 20/07/2009 08:53

Have you worked out your edd?

Neeko · 20/07/2009 08:51

No. I'm quite happy to forget about it for a few weeks (yeah, right!) My boobs are impressive though and they weren't small to begin with! The do seem to make my comfort-eating tummy look smaller though
Proper healthy eating started yesterday as opposed to the healthy eating followed by chocolate/wine/cakes/crisps/icecream etc that I've been following since March.

MummyLovesSadie · 20/07/2009 08:46

Och noooo Neeko he is a true Scott with dark hair & blue blue eyes! My foot feels fine thanks.

Funny you should say that about what your dh said, it has reminded me that when I had my bfp & then went & bought 5 more tests from Babymad!

So has it sunk in yet?

Neeko · 20/07/2009 08:38

Funny that. DH must have read your mind (and hopefully not this thread! ) I have 2 tests left and he asked me this morning if I'd be buying more once they are finished. I tried to look at him as if he was mad and said no, BUT if they happen to fall into my trolly...

How are you today? Is the foot sore?
BTW your DH totally looks different to how I imagined him. I thought he's have fair hair but have no idea why! Maybe because you an DD do?

MummyLovesSadie · 20/07/2009 08:31

Congrats again Neeko, I'm very excited for you! Perhaps you should do what I did in May & do a test every couple of days until you have run out of them!

Neeko · 20/07/2009 08:24

quite happy to be certified insane as long as I have a baby at the end of March

barbie1 · 20/07/2009 08:20

yep your mad its the hormones...its gets a lot worse too!

Neeko · 20/07/2009 08:19

Thanks Barbie Only subtle because i'm not convinced enough to shout it from the rooftops!

Neeko · 20/07/2009 08:16

Thanks Jools although cool and calm is the last thing I'm feeling. I tested yesterday with an Asda test but not FMU and although it was a clear line I couldn't allow myself to believe it so I texted a picture to MLS for confirmation and then did a clearblue with FMU today to be sure. It came up straight away but there's a bit of me that's still not convinced. Does that sound mad?(der than usual)

barbie1 · 20/07/2009 08:14

dont give up jools

congrats neeko very subtle way of letting us know let the worry commense!

Neeko · 20/07/2009 08:12

Morning to Barbie and good luck with the hours. Everyone deserves two days off a week.

Jools It's not like your cycle to be irregular. I've always envied how in tune with your body you seem to be. Have you been more stressed than usual?

Iggy Sorry meant to say last night that I was sorry that AF got you. I still believe that you and Cupcake will be pg together so hopefully this will be your month.

Morning

Just checking in quickly - will be back later for a catchup.

Still no AF and the spotting I've had is not the usual pre AF pattern, but a BFN on a First Response this morning, so I'm assuming she will arrive ...

I have lots of symptoms still, but maybe have a bug ?

barbie1 · 20/07/2009 04:39

Soory i couldnt post much yesterday, my computer is playing up....we left it on while on holiday and it burnt out the battery, so now it wont charge and we have to have it plugged in at all times....which is ok until the husband/ dog trip/ pulls the lead out and you have to reload again and again!

The ac is back on so i can finally relax and spend time down stairs ruther then laying on the bed (which i quite got used too )

I went back to work on saturday and it was ok, although i did think 5 and a half hours would go quicker than it did im in a different spa now, a little long drive but its the dubai mall, the biggest in the world....and it has loads of baby shops.....all of which im banning myself going in until at least week 16!

iggy sorry af got you hun....still a few more months of summer left so im sure you will still get your summer baby

mls i love your tattoo, but i love how cute you dd is more your photos are great, such a lovely family...oh and two stars are more than enough, next time you will be adding a name to the other foot and not a star, hope you are feeling better.

neeko its hard not torturing yourself about mat leave, especially when you dont want to be at work and it seemed the perfect excuse...im glad you are back, have i said that before?

mrskate hi hun, i cant seem to catch up with everyone but it sounds like you have been having a tough time? i hope dh is feeling better today and then you can relax!

budda i saw on your other thread that you are 18 weeks bloody hell i wish my pregnancy would go as fast as yours! although i know its felt like a life time for you....and im impressed with your baby shopping, love it!

curly how are you feeling now? have you got a definate scan date now? dh is trying to talk me out of having a scan, saying that in 3 weeks ill be having my proper one anywhy and that im still sleeping all the time and feel sick so everything is ok if only it was that simple eh? i have found a lovely scottish obsertrician (sp?) who is asigned to the doctors i already go too. I have to meet her next week and she says she will scan me if i want

4ever how are you sweetheart? im sending you a massive hug and a dose of the dubai sun to keep you smiling, same goes to mermaid has anyone heard from her since she set of of the tamar????

jools did af show up last night, im sure she is due on sunday??? i hope not, come back and tell us.....

Right im sorry for those i missed, im off to get ready for work, i have requested to work an extra half an hour a day so 10-4 and have an extra day off, fingers crossed...

cupcakefairy · 19/07/2009 22:31

Just off to bed but wanted to say sorry af got you iggy no holiday babies for either of us then...I guess we'll just have to book another holiday to test the theory again!

Neeko · 19/07/2009 22:22

I know the feeling annie. I'm already dreading going back to work and it's not for a few weeks yet. It doesn't help that I should have started my mat leave on Sept 1st so I would only have been going back for a few weeks. It's quality time not quantity that counts and I'm sure you're a better mummy for the life choices you've made (Plus you have a mat leave to look forward to )
Night night

anniebigpants · 19/07/2009 22:17

You put me to shame Neeko. Ive nearly got all the washing done, most of it dried, a tiny bit of it ironed and put away, i couldnt even make the excuse i was cooking Sunday lunch as my DH did it.
Ive been reading through trying to catch up but will post properly tomorrow as off to sleep soon, back to work tomorrow, not looking forward to it, i love my job, but love being with DS more .

Neeko · 19/07/2009 21:56

BTW all the washing and three quarters of ironing done AND I had my in-laws round for dinner.

Neeko · 19/07/2009 21:54

Hi MLS Love the tat!

4ever only posts at work so will beback tomorrow.

MummyLovesSadie · 19/07/2009 21:53

Oh Iggy what an utter cow af is. At least you had a good weekend & I'm sure you managed to have a few bevvies!
