January 2012: just POAS!!!

[Spagbolagain]

Anybody else out there?????
Very surprised, had only SWI once and I thought we had missed the window of opportunity. It seems not, BFP yesterday, royal wedding treat. EDD about 2nd Jan I think.

#2 for me, keeping fingers tightly crossed as had a bumpy ride before conceiving DS. Very excited and slightly terrified. :)

Morning all.

8 weeks today and morning sickness has arrived with a vengeance :(

So pleased for you nanny

Morning everyone.

So pleased for you nanny

And gold luck fir your scan today, fingers firmly crossed today.

So sorry to hear some of you are suffering with sickness.

I haven't got any signs really starting to worry about it.
I have got a scan tomorrow hopefully all will be well

Morning All!

Congrats nanny thas great news, you must be soo relieved!

Good luck to all of you having scans this week x

Im really starting to go off my morning porridge if I dont have porridge im hungry about an hour later and it really doesnt taste right anymore. On the upside I havent been sick yet so yeah!!

Its horrible weather here today, heavy rain and strong winds. And we'r going to an outdoor shopping centre this morning. Time for wellies me thinks...

Hi ladies!

I'm 6 weeks today!

Have put on 5lbs so far and I'm totally gutted about it - I swear I'm not eating any more than normal and I am exercising, but not doing much cardio as I fractured my ankle about 8 weeks ago and am still building back up to running [resolves to do 15 mins this evening]. I also know that I'm being an idiot and will obvs put on loads of baby weight before this is over (all being well...) but I keep reading that you're supposed to put on max 1lb in the first trimester. Grrr. It's got to be a bit of bloating and the boobs, right? When I take my bra off in the evening I now have a big strap mark all the way around my body! Maybe I should get measured...

Anyway sorry about that, I know I'm being a tit thinking about weight but have had quite serious weight issues in the past and am by far the biggest I've ever been, so I'm just trying to talk it out before it develops into something serious in my head.

I'm seeing the midwife at 8+4 but am a little worried that it could be too late to book a 12 week scan at that stage - I hear there's a baby boom here! Should I call up the mw before hand and ask if she'll set the ball rolling early? As I think I've mentioned, DH is overseas a lot and there's only a small window where he will be able to come along.

Also, what's the deal with private scans? I wouldn't want anything particularly special; I'd just be delighted and relieved to see or hear the heart beat!

Nanny great to hear your good news!!!

hotcrosSES I'm truely keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you and I'm so sorry you're going through so much stress.

Ghosteditor god I know exactly how you feel about the weight. I've had problems with my weight and my body image in the past too. I remember finding it very difficult when I was pregnant with DS and watching myself put on so much weight and there was nothing I could do about it. If you look back at the thread though, and how many of us are moaning about putting on weight and trousers getting tight etc., I'm not sure I believe the "putting on 1lb in the first trimester". I'm just going to try and enjoy this pregnancy as I had such a nightmare of one last time and at least I know I can always try and lose the weight afterwards.

hotcross good luck for today - will be thinking about you,

I am 5 weeks today - yay!
Ds had me up nearly all night last night (he is nearly 4!) , so he is off to my Mums today so i can have a nap. So thankful my Mum leaves 20 minutes away!
So hot today, everyone else is freezing because the weather is rubbish and I keep opening all the windows

Morning everyone just got back from a private scan. The sonographer was so nice pointed out the bits a pieces checked where the bleeding could be seen and said it was ok to. I heard our baby's heart beat to. I am actually less along so I am 7 plus 1 weeks so my due date will be the 08/01/12 which is better as it is moving away from the New Year. Couldn't believe what I could see the yoke sac, baby. She said it looks like my placenta will be anterior again which means the movements won't be felt so early. JUst nice to see everything as it should be.

ghosteditor I am also at my heaviest to. They made a big issue about it and I know they will want me to see a consultant and annesnatist. Just waiting for the death and disaster speech. Even though they class me as high risk it won't mean I will get anymore care than if I wasn't. They will just try to push the hospital care which actualy last time ment I heard my babys heart beat less than if I was with full midwifery.

Not great news. Although cervix closed, vague flicker of a hb and potential foetal pole, sac irregular and baby measuring too small. They expect me to mc naturally within a week. Have appointment to go back next Tuesday.

thanks for the reassurance and I guess you're right that we're all feeling like the incredible expanding MNers at this stage, have seen plenty of comments.

nanny that doesn't sound like fun and it seems crazy that they can't do more to monitor or help. What's the point in them making a fuss about it, then? Of course, if you declared that you were trying to lose weight through the pg everyone would be up in arms about that too - can't win. I'm trying to make my mantra just to eat heathily and keep moving around lots and stop worrying about anything else.

It's just that my weight goes on in very unflattering places - belly and thighs, which means no longer feel I can wear anything that stops above the knee without leggings. Nightmare on holiday etc. And pg aside, my boobs always stay at a B cup no matter how much weight I put on! Anyway, anyway, I must stop whinging about this, it's not what's important.

hotcrossSES I'm so sorry to hear that. :(

gosh, what an insensitive time to crosspost, sorry hotcrossSES.

I'm really sorry to hear that, it must be awful. [hugs]

oh i am so sorry ses

Are you ok?

Sorry ses.

Its a horrible situation to be in and I wish you and your dp a good recovery. Im not sure what else to say, but if you need anyone to talk to feel free to pm me.

I'm so sorry ses :(

hotcrossSES so sorry to hear bad news

retching and vomiting for the 3rd morning in a row, sadly no rich tea biscuits to ease it. Then I had 5 people banging on the door asking if I was alright! My eldest girl is 9 and very suspicious. Hope this isn't going to be a regular thing as I have a long school run every morning.

Is anyone else in a permanent state of 'can't be arsed'?

I've half heartedly tidied around the ground floor and mopped the kitchen floor. But I can't be bothered to do anything else. Toddler is having his nap and I feel like joining him! Decided to catch up on here for a bit more and then tackle the huge carrier bag of shit filing instead.

Really need to sort this out because there is another 7.5 months to go and mantra pregnancy is a condition not an illness, therefore get on with it woman!

On the plus side, I've done an online shop that cost me £1.56 due to having a load of unused clubpoints. Honestly, I thought if you lost them it was tough. Not so, log onto your account, and there they all are!!! Key in the online code and voila - free shopping

I am so sorry hotcrossSES I was thinking about you all last night :( Take care of yourself x

Hotcross I'm so sorry, did they not say that there was any hope?
So un fair for you.

I also can't be arsed I fell asleep today for 2 hours andcould of easily nodded back off, thankfully dh is off today.

I'm very nervous about tomorrow as my hcg levels were not doubling so not sure what to exspect

hotcross im so terribly sorry. Did they give you any hope at all? (((((((Big Hugs all round)))))))

Permanent state of cant be arsed is exactly how iv been feeling most days, especially in the evenings.

We visited a close friend today who knows im pregnant. She said upon my arrival that if she didnt already know then she would be asking questions. I can disclose that I am losing that waistband line where my trousers sit. Doubt 002 will be a secret agent for much longer.

The weather has been awful here today. Trees are breaking everywhere. In fact the house next door to my work, their tree snapped and is currently leaning against my work. Quite a few roads have been closed due to falling trees as well. Crazy weather!

Hope everyone is well. Katy good luck tommorrow
Sho x

Ses= My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours at this sad time!
is the reasons for the appt next week holding out any hope at all?

how are everyone after the bleeds?
dont really feel like saying any more feeling quite sad Ses was an very active mn on here and also started the list!

Nanny, that's fabulous news!!

LaBobkin, nausea is pretty ok most the time, but as soon as I get in a car and start moving, whether driver or passenger I start feeling terrible :(

HotcrosSES, how awful for you, really hope the doctors are wrong, I was told I might not be ovulating and then got pg in the first month, so Dr's aren't always right ((((big hug))))

I am waiting for a phone call over the next couple of days to go for a scan as I'm getting really strange pains, I know some of them are normal as had them last pg, but sometimes it feels like I've been stabbed and then it ripples across my stomach. So went to the GP today and he wants me to go for a scan, trying not to worry about it as there's been no bleeding and still getting some symptoms so clinging on to that.

Sorry Nanny01 - wonderful news - that all is well xxx

Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and hugs - it means a lot.

It does seem like it is pretty inevitable. The MW at one point was talking about how they would support my next pregnancy.

Please don't let me drag the thread down. I really hope you all go on to have happy and healthy pregnancies. I may lurk to keep an eye on you all !
