November 2011 - more hand holding, scans and 2nd trimester chat coming up.....

[Katiebeau]

New thread chatty girls.......

folicacid and truffkin def not blooming here either:) But FX it will come

lizzy really horrible about DH not being able to go to the scan. Have no idea about father's rights though. I will be going to my 13 wk scan alone too because DH has to work.

lk hug! It is normal to feel tired and not want to do anything and it will pass. So will the 'fat' phase - i am there - and a sweet little bump will appear so maybe just try and get excited about the future? And next time you train for a triathelon you can push baby in a buggy:) (for the running portion:))

chipmonkey FX for scan!! And for everyone else getting one! So great to hear all the scan results. Can believe the beans are sucking thumbs and moving! Can't wait until next week when I finally get mine!!

I did buy some maternity tops. Look so much better in them (not like a sausage), buying the belly band this week - refuse to buy more work pants!

And my scan a week on Thursday too.

Had scan today, went really well, although finding it hard to get it round my head that the baby is there!! I've added a couple of photos to my profile if anyone wants a nosey :)

What was interesting though was that I have a cyst the size of a newborn baby's head on my left ovary and several smaller ones on my right one, so I figure we have been sooo lucky to have conceived and in a relatively short time, so fx that everything goes to plan!!! Imagine if I had never gotten duffed up and found out that it was there!

Baby H wasn't for playing ball so couldn't do the nuchal measurement, have to have a blood test at 15 weeks, with another scan to make sure that the cyst hasn't grown any bigger.

Thought you guys might appreciate the following website, stumble is a wonderful thing :)

TwoJackRussells the scan pics are great! So clear!

As to that website you linked to, can I just say that dh and I were young, and we needed the money.

I also have to wait till next week for scan cep.

Congratulatiopns though Moosey, Cali and twojacks! (Can you tell I was keeping notes whilst reading through!)

Cookie, I would defo go for a bra measurement! By 9 weeks I had gone from a 32 B to a 32 D!!!! Couldn't believe it but so much more comfortable! And now I have bras that fit properly, it's not a problem wearing underwire etc!

Buffy sorry x posts with you last night, good luck telling the boss, I'm going for it tomorrow! HSe really is gonna be stressed I think! I moved offices in November and made a big deal about how I'd stay for a while and really commit myself to the department. No I will really leave them in the lurch! And just in time for our busy season to kick off! ooops!

Also worried that the pay review before I go on mat leave won't be a good one! I know they can't hold it against be in the law etc, but you know they will find an excuse not to put my salary up in October, when I'm disappearing for a year in November!

Hello Missy glad you joined us! (Someone may be poaching people from the 1st trimester thread in pregnancy section!) [chmmm]

Well utterly falling asleep at my desk today, glad there's only one more day left! Must go supervise dh now, he's making a chilli!

That [chmmm] should have been... [chmm]

Thanks chip I think I might have fallen in love just a little bit more with the bump, although there is still such a long way to go!!!

To everyone who has their scan's in the next week or so, hope everything goes as well, looking forward to seeing more pictures :)

Hiya all, just a quick hi to say scan went well! Baby bean very wriggly, and even turned back away from us! They turned to face us, very weird looking at the dark shapes for eyes! Then have our piccies of babys hand near mouth showing the fingers bent perfect! Was amazing. Im dated at 13 weeks measuring 70mm! Hope everyone is ok x

Stamping foot :( still waiting for my scan date! Not fair hahaha.... My friend (sonographer) found my scan referral and GP hadn't put EDD so hospital were going to send it back to GP luckily friend stepped in and added dates and passed to the appointment lady :) Yey.... Date should come through next day or so fx

What a lot of scans today!

Congrats Moosey, Cali, TwoJacks & Freeangel

Had my Oscar and all fine - risk is 1 in 4,559 so happy with that. Very uncooperative bean though - basically upside down resting on shoulders with head scrunched up (will try and put pic on profile) so didn't get to see very well. Also we had a specialist midwife instead of a consultant and she didn't inspire me with confidence or show us as many views as we've seen at previous Oscars.

But overall good so have started telling people...

I am so sorry to bring bad news into a day of positive and heartwarming scan news, but I had my 12 week scan today and unfortunately the baby died at approx 9 weeks. I am totally gobsmacked as I have been getting noticeably bigger this past 2 weeks and have had no inkling at all that things were not right. So, it's off the November bus for me and back to trying again. I wish you all the very best for the coming months, and that November brings you much joy. Take care xx

oh Norfolkbumpkin I am so sorry to hear your news - shocking and devastating for you. Look after yourself and make sure those around you do to x x

Oh Norfolk, so so sorry that this has happened to you, I hope you have lots of love and support around you, what a horrible time, best of luck that the next time will be your time.

norfolk so so to hear your news. I hope you are being well taken care of. Good luck with your next journey. xxx

Thank you ladies for your kind words. I feel despondent as had last mc last April and it has taken me a year to get this far again. I am 39 and feel like my time is running out, poor old duffer! I shall move on over to the lovely people on the mc threads now for a while to get my head around things.

Norfolk I'm so sorry to hear your news. I can't imagine what you are going through but best of luck that you will jumping on another antenatal bus soon.

I'm sorry Norfolk. I'm really sad for you
I've had a similar experience in that I had a scan a week earlier than planned (11.3) due to a week of spotting and bleeding to find that my baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. I have an ERPC booked for Friday.
Its horrible, isn't it? Have you decided on what you are going to do? I don't know about you, but I just feel like I'm in limbo.
Sorry everyone to hijack this thread. Congrats to all who've had good scans. I wish you uneventful pregnancies!
Norfolk, pm me if you want to talk.

Im so sorry Norfolk and lww hope you are both coping ok. Take care of yourselves xx

norfolk and LWW I'm so sorry to hear your news. if you need somewhere to chat here's a good place when your ready, they helped me through my mc and ttc are wonderful and very supportive. i hope you both have lots of support in rl. Please take care of yourselves and good luck for the future.

Norfolk and LWW take it easy ladies, very sorry for you! give yourselves time to get through this and Fx for a BFP in the near future! x

congratulations to everyone with good and wriggly scans!

Norfolk I am so sorry. I had a miscarriage after trying for a year to get pregnant and like you felt despondent, but then got pregnant again within a month, also age 35 +. I'm sure it won't be long before you are pregnant again, in the meantime please take lots of care and be kind to yourself.
LWW hugs to you as well. I am so sorry, how upsetting and devastating for you. Take care of yourself.xxx

Norfolk And LWW that's awful news, I'm so sorry. Hope you're being looked after and that you've got the right people around you.

LWW also so to hear your news. I hope the ERPC goes smoothly and that you have a happy and successful pregnancy soon. xxx

Oh I'm so sorry Norfolk and LWW. Really, really for you both. Wishing you the very best of luck for next time around.

Norfolk and lww
All my thoughts and prayers are with you - and sticky bean thoughts for next try.
