Thanks Catherine, I am very nervous now. From all the bad news we seem to have seen on this thread it could go either way Sad. Going to get myself off to bed now, as time will go quicker asleep than surfing the net for my Granny's christmas present! Night all Smile

BarbieLovesKen · 06/12/2010 22:00

Sorry, 8rubberduckies, forgot about your scan tomorrow. Will be thinking of you, am sure you will be fine. The very, very best of luck.

So sorry about your news Clench, am thinking of you :(

bananarama05 · 06/12/2010 22:16

oh clench so sorry for you, look after yourself as much as you can won't you. x

lisa kara clench and everyone else, thank you lovely lovely ladies for your kind words, jasmine sounds like we both got ourselves worked up there.

Sorry for having a self professed me me me wobble but just needed to get it out. Slept terribly last night panicking and feel downright flu-ey today minus the head cold bit, just achey and freezing so am hoping that explains not feeling myself more than anything sinister Sad so much sad news round here at the moment, think I shall take myself off for a (not too Wink - don't want to panic myself more) hot bath and bed to try and catch up on my sleep.

Look after yourselves everyone and will have everything crossed for you 8rd, I shant be on here til late tomorrow night due to work but bring us some happy news. x

NurseSnowflake · 06/12/2010 22:20

Sorry I'm going to butt in with an all about me post. Feel free to ignore it. Just need a rant. Also apologies if it doesn;t make a lot of sense I'm copying and pasting most of it from an email to my mum as I couldn't be bothered to re type it all again!!

Had my 12 week scan today. Baby is fine, very active and fidgety! The sonographer had to keep re-measuring as it was jumping around so much! Nuchal fold measured 1.4mm :) I can't believe how much it's grown since a fortnight ago, it was something like 35mm then and now it's 6cm. I saw it's little feeties and little stubby fingers Xmas Grin
ANYWAY
DXP (the D stands for dickhead) said that he wanted to come to the scan so he was going to book a taxi and pick me up at mine and go to clinic. Said he booked it for 9.30, scan was at 10. He called me at 9.40 saying the taxi was late so I asked if he'd called them back, and he said no. Eventually turned up at 10, by this time I'm in tears thinking I'm going to miss the scan and the ante natal place is dead busy so was thinking they wouldn't be able to reschedule if I'd missed it.

Then he has to stop at a cash machine cuz he hadn't bothered getting money out the night before. So eventually turn up at the place and there was a queue and he said "Well this is worrying I've got to be at work at 12" and I said I don't care. And he acted all shocked like I should. so I said all I care about is having the scan. And then he said blagh blagh blagh about the roads (which are free of snow ffs) and so on and I was like YOU SHOULD HAVE BOOKED THE TAXI FOR EARLIER AND THEN CALLED IT AS SOON AS IT DIDN'T TURN UP!!! And he did his childish huffy thing saying I can't believe you're blaming me for the roads. Which I wasn't I was blaming him for not even being responsible enough to order a taxi on time. And then i said if all you're worried about is work then f off. And he said fine i will then. And stormed off. So then I was stood there in the queue amidst loads of happy couples crying my eyes out.

Turned out the systems had crashed so there was a big backlog but that's not the point that's a fluke, it might not have happened. What if I had missed the scan?? I've just had enough. All I've done is think about HIM in all this, making sure he was involved, maing it easy for him but he can't even be bothered to come and see that the baby is OK so I can't be bothered with him. I am so angry with him I can't believe he just left like that. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
And, funnily enough, no call or text or anything from him all day asking if the baby is OK. For all he knows the worst could've happened but he just doesn't give a fuck.

NurseSnowflake · 06/12/2010 22:21

Wow that looks incredibly long. PLease feel free to ignore me. I'm almost all ranted out.

motherofsnortpigs · 06/12/2010 22:32

Stay cool nurse

motherofsnortpigs · 06/12/2010 22:33

So sorry for you clench Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

motherofsnortpigs · 06/12/2010 22:35

nurse sorry, that might have come across a bit glib. Just wanted to let you know someone was reading and we care and it'll all be ok and it just confirms what you knew already - you are so much better off without him.

Hope you get a good night's rest.

bananarama05 · 06/12/2010 22:35

nurse so Angry for you!

Big congrats on the scan though Xmas Grin

dickhead sounds like just the word, you weren't wrong when you said he acts like a child were you?

the only positive thing i can think is that he hasn't called or text because he's realised what an absolute tit he's been and is too embarassed now.

And you think that post looks long? Thats about the average length of a normal post for me, i don't shut up me Grin

I stand by what i said before, this week is rubbish, roll on the next one and lots of happy news please!

BarbieLovesKen · 06/12/2010 22:43

Poor Nurse Im so sorry hes acting like such an arsehole. He was completely out of order, completely selfish and self obsessed. Am very Angry for you.

I think you've probably being a little too good to him if Im honest. From what I've read on here anyway. You seem to be so much more cool headed and reasonable and sensible that I could ever be considering how he has treated you at such a vulnerable time. Bit of tough love is in order I think. He has a massive amount of growing up to do over the next 6 months or so.

Jesus, would love if they could be pregnant for one week. Just one - would give them a tiny idea of how difficult it is.

This week is rubbish!!! Sad Today has been crap all I've done is work all day and come home watched Corrie, then worked all night!!! Roll on Friday

Clarkiee · 06/12/2010 22:45

Hope you start getting the support you deserve nurse. DXP sounds he needs to grow up!

BarbieLovesKen · 06/12/2010 22:45

Oh and Nurse cant believe I forget to mention the most important part! Huge, huge congratulations on your scan. Its lovely to hear some good news.

NurseSnowflake · 06/12/2010 22:56

You mustn't work so hard clarkiee, you've got to save some energy for baking twins!

Thanks for congrats :) DXP has camera so until I find someone else's to borrow I can't post pics. So amazing how much babeh has changed in two weeks though!

Jasmine sorry you're feeling so stressed :( FWIW they do say that pgs with lots of ms are the least likely to mc so I hope that makes you feel a teeny tiny bit better. I hope you stop feeling rotten soon though and get onto the apparently wonderful second trimester Hmm

banana I know there's pretty much no point saying this because it's not like you can help it but please try not to panic! As Lisascat said, it takes a lot to put a viable pg in jepoardy. She was doing almost everything you're told not to and she gave birth to a lovely, healthy baby.

LisasCat · 07/12/2010 06:59

Millie, that's a bit mean that your MW didn't even try to listen to the heartbeat. I had my booking in last week, and I would guess from scan timings (mine's week after next when I'll be about 13 weeks) that I was earlier than you at that point. I asked for a bit of reassurance, and she said she'd listen for the heartbeat, as long as I promised not to panic if we couldn't hear it because it might be a bit early. In the end we found it straight away, really strong, and the little bugger darling kept moving trying to dodge us.

Nurse, DXP sounds like he needs a good kicking. I fully sympathise, when DP and I were separated during last pg, he started out with his head all over the place, and gave me very little support in the first half. It can take them a lot longer to grow up and get ready for this change, because it's not taking place inside them every day, and their distance makes it even harder to sink in.
Keep up with the good work you've been doing - you know you're being the better person. There's no guarantee he'll improve, but if he does, it'll make it easier for you both to move on if you've never stopped being the sensible one, trying to welcome him into this new family.

cameli · 07/12/2010 07:15

Thinking about you clench. Feeling very sad after reading your news :(

I feel rubbish today-sore throat, earache, runny nose etc. Was gonna have my flu job tomorrow but know they won't do it if I still feel like this.

Nurse I think it's you who is in Sheffield & I'm only about 20 mins away-say the word & I'll be round there kicking your DXP butt with you! Keep strong.

Gonna try book my sexing scan today. Will be 16 weeks on sat so can have it anytime after.

Told my family at the weekend & they were very pleased. It was also my 35th birthday on Thursday & gosh did I miss having a drink or 2.

KaraStarbuckThrace · 07/12/2010 07:45

Nurse - I am not surprised you are cross!!! What an idiot!!!

Leroy - I suffer from migraine, the only thing you can take is pracetamol - however if they are bad go to your GP - mine prescribed me codeine as well for them.

Did I mention I am cheaper than Forever Living!

santamaxx · 07/12/2010 08:18

Wow loads to catch up on!
Good luck with your scan today rubberduckies
Please try not to worry bananarama - akthough I'm a hypocrite as I am so so worried about the vast amounts of alcohol consumed over weeks 2-4
kara - that's good to know - I'll check out your link. I do use forever living for the aloe soap but it has sodium laureth sulphate in it. I also like to use earth-friendly baby, magic fairy and weleda so I really like these kind of products Grin

santamaxx · 07/12/2010 08:19

OMG clench I am so sorry Sad - please look after yourself and hope everything works out for you x

santamaxx · 07/12/2010 08:23

nursesnowflake you are far too good for him Angry - but YAY for a great scan Grin

KaraStarbuckThrace · 07/12/2010 08:48

Think I have pulled a muscle in my neck, I noticed it was stiff and sore last night, and it is the same this morning. Flipping hurt when I am reversing the car!
BTW is everyone else peeing more than usual? Just seems like I am constantly running to the loo all the time! Gawd knows what I'll be like when I'm 35+ weeks - I'd better invest in a shewee!!!

santamaxx · 07/12/2010 08:50

LOL Kara - yep - I'm still getting up through the night for the toilet.

santamaxx · 07/12/2010 08:57

Jasmine so sorry you're having such a rubbish time of it - really hope you start to feel better really soon. I am worrying like mad about money just now as well so I understand how you feel Smile
