How are you feeling now purpleturtle ?

melsy · 18/01/2006 13:35

Good news Arabica, bet your so relieved.

Im getting nervous about my scan , as visited Barnet hospital for tour last Fri and as soon as left got on the phone to doc to say GET ME IN. Shes written a letter to admissions supporting my case not to go to Chase farm due to my past bad experience there. They do take in special cases if not from Barnet. Im so hoping they have received it by now. Not sure who I could phone to check???? So Im just waiting with bated breath for my admission into an out of local borough hospital and a scan there.

Hi all to those I havent spoken with ;Cheeps & freddysays.

melsy · 18/01/2006 13:55

I think Im getting all mixed up(makes a change!!!). My EDD is 12/8/06, but 8/8/06 would be GREAT as 8 is my very special and lucky number indeed. Its made me go all emotional and choked up seeing that date lunavix , got a shiver !!!!

trix1 · 18/01/2006 13:55

Hello all - ive been for anther scan today - everything is fine, thank goodness - feel much better now. Starting to feel better all round now - little sickness in the morning and not so tired now which is good. Im now 10 weeks exactly due on 15th August.

The first bit of my next sale maternity wear arrived today, some lovely grey combats. Well chuffed!

Act · 18/01/2006 14:13

you missed me off 2/08/06

glad hear the good news Arabica. Did you have a CVS last time? They seem scary, you must be pleased you were'nt recommended one.

Nbg · 18/01/2006 15:45

Glad to hear yor scans went well Arabica and Trix

Trix, the outlet is in Castleford (west yorks). I'm trying to remember the specific name of the playtex bra because I've never tried anything so comfortable in my life. The seams sat flush to skin and the material was lovely.

I've got myself a good collection of maternity wear now, although some trousers I got from Next are massive. I'll be lucky if they fit me 40 weeks!

I also found these guys are just around the corner from my house I'm quite tempted

purpleturtle · 18/01/2006 15:52

Totally forgot that the doctor gave me a due date! 13th, apparently, not the 15th that I thought. And I expect it'll change at my scan as well. But to be going on with...

Newbethlehem was my xmas name. It's bad luck to use it don't you know

Arabica · 18/01/2006 16:14

hi everyone. I can't wait to go shopping for maternity wear. Roll on end of the month (payday). So far I've only bought myself a second-hand pair of Mothercare jeans. They are HUGE. I don't think I'll be wearing them for at least another 5 months!

purpleturtle · 18/01/2006 16:19

I'm looking forward to all my stuff coming out of storage TWO WEEKS TODAY , and then I'll know precisely how little maternity wear I have. I don't feel a need for it yet, though. If anything, I've probably lost a little bit of weight.

snic · 18/01/2006 17:56

you left me off the list also 26/8

Act · 18/01/2006 18:00

is that when you move into your new place purplet?
at the weightloss - although perhaps not if it's all through worry and puking?

I can't wait to have a recognisable bump and not just look fat! how long does this take first time round?

Also, has anyone been to aqua natal classes? are they any good and how early can you start going?

melsy · 18/01/2006 18:37

I did aqau natal Act, it was quite good fun if not knackering !!!, but I didnt realise I had really low bp , so the whole room would spin after!!! Good way to meet 1st time mums , Im still friends with some I met 3 years ago. I think after 12 weeks is when you can start.

1st time with bump showing can be any time really , I think I didnt show properly till 4mths with dd , this time I have a little bump and people can see it quite clearly! Although Im JUST getting into skinny jeans still , but they have stretched and Im wearing them lower down.

trix1 · 18/01/2006 21:28

Oh there are so many of us now. How exciting so we range from 8 weeks to 12 weeks. I have such a big bump even my consultant said I looked about 18 weeks pregnant today and im10
My bigs are bigger but my stomach just sticks out its so obvious everyone has guessed at work. Im feeling better in myself now, im not so sick in the morning and I have a bit more energy in the evening.

How are you NBG - fellow due date.

Ive just booked my holiday for June (just a couple of weeks in Spain) I am ok to fly at 30/32 weeks arent I?

olivo · 19/01/2006 10:53

Morning everyone! wow, there's quite a few of us! I'm sooo jealous of those with an earlier date - not becuase I mind mine but would love to be a little further on and near my scan etc!

hope everyone is feeling ok - I'm feeling fairly ropey today but the kids are being quite nice and well-behaved(I hope they haven't guessed!!) nad now I've told a few of my colleagues, they're going easy on me!

Was really entertained this morning when my dh sent me a link to mn!! he's looking for a christening pressie for our nephew and had found something on here! Never again will he be able to nag at me for always being online!!

hope eveyone is having a good day!

lunavix - we're nearly at 9!!

freddysays · 19/01/2006 11:00

Good morning all...Back again. I just wanted to let you all know had my 12wk scan and it realy lifted me. YEah still feel like my belly is far too large, but the sight of the little scamp really sorted my head out. I was so busy feeling tired moany and fat that I forgot to get excited, running around after my 2yr old made me think I cant cope with another and I was havign a bit of a confidence crisis. Now I just feel thats nonsense. I really chilled out, how amazing is that. Also got confirmaiton of dates so NBG I am due 2/8/06 thats a whole 5 days earlier..lol ..lets review that on that 2/8 eh...good luck with all the scans coming up, I had to wait 2hours!!!! in a hot stinky hosp-not nice but worth it..hope you all have similar

Have a great day and be in touch soon x
