So quite a lot of speculation about gender - I think my scan was a bit early to be able to see any difference on the picture despite my best efforts but I don't have any strong feelings either way. I've been referring to the baby as a 'he' probably because I'm used to saying it from DS. I had the same but oppposite experience as Oltob - with DS, I felt strongly it was a girl, so was quite shocked and sorry to say a little disappointed for a few days after finding out at the 20 weeks scan that he was a he. I got used to the idea quite quickly and now can't quite imagine myself producing a girl (seeing I made such a lovely boy 
). It's weird how people assume that boys are more trouble though - in my group of friends it was the girls that turned out to be runners or fearlessly threw themselves off tables . Mine will be sharing a room while they're little no matter what, I'm not giving up the spare room/office that easily
Catsy hope the latest bleeding episode is all ok. I had a little bit of brownish spotting after my dating scan but fortunately was warned it might happen by the sonographer who had seen something during the scan. If they couldn't see anything after the bleeding had happened, that could just mean all the blood had made it out, IYSWIM. Fingers crossed there's nothing serious going on.
Manda so pleased you got a better scan experience, even if you did have to pay for it privately. It's soooo hard after a loss. This pregnancy of mine comes after 3 consecutive losses, although all 1st trimester so fingers crossed I'm passed my big difficult periods, but knowing I have several risk factors means I'm not really ever going to relax - I've been on the wrong side of the stats too many times.
I should say actually, I also post on a 'freak out pg after mc' thread, which is in the conception section and will move on to the pregnancy after mc grads thread in pregnancy at some stage. If any of you who are going through this pregnancy after a loss wanted to you'd be made very welcome there, and it's often helpful to see women moving through the weeks and successfully having their babies - very positive.
Yay4May - urgh, so sorry you've been hit by the hyperemisis, heading back to the family is probably a very good idea. It's hard enough coping with everyday life with just plain old everyday nausea, can't imagine what it's like with the supercharged version.
Mikocat great news on the amnio results. How did the fanjo-cam go?
Mythical those heart palpitations sound quite difficult to deal with. Are you under specialist care because of it? Will it make a difference to how you deliver do you think?
Welcome MidwifeWithABump, hope you didn't find the early weeks too difficult - I imagine you had a few shifts and late nights to try to cope with? and hello to you too LuckyNumber11 - have just seen you wanted to be added to the list and don't seem to have been. Will try it after all this.
Harecare - sorry to hear things aren't that easy between you and DH at the moment. Do you think he'll come around in time?
Saggybaps - I've still got nausea too although only a couple of days a week now, thank goodness. Yesterday and the day before were really bad. Today much better. I've got everything crossed it continues to ease and disappears for everyone.
I had another MW/consultant appt on Tuesday and heard the heartbeat - yay! Next one is in 4 weeks when I'll also have the anomaly scan. I'm being monitored for gestational diabetes at the moment, which is taking some getting used to - finger pricking 4 x day. Haven't really had to adjust my diet too much thankfully, just upped a tablet (metformin) I was taking by one extra. I find it hard to eat too much anyway, get nauseous in the evenings and during the day just feel a bit blah if I have a big meal so snacking it is for me. Only difficulty is trying to find snacks which aren't too bready/biscuity etc. I seem to be living on apples, cheese and cashew nuts
