Evening all

hetty I definitely notice MS worsens when I'm tired. The only time (so far) I've actually vomited was when I was shattered after early wake-up and long drive. Other than that I definitely feel closer to sickness than last time. Then it was just a sicky, chemical feeling. Probably more tired this time with a 2yr old as well as work!

Great news on the scan thunderbolt Smile

GizzyBoo · 21/02/2012 10:16

Morning ladies. Sorry I haven't been around for what feels like ages but MS has taken over everything. I can't even think in sentences let alone type them.

Feeling thoroughly miserable. Seeing doc tomorrow so he will hopefully give me something for it.

How are you all doing?

Thunder I am so pleased your scan went well.

Welcome to all the newbies.....feel free to add yourselves to the stats list Smile

Hello everyone, im 8 weeks today!

Well I have stuffed myself stupid this morning on pancakes aqnd now I feel sick!
I work in a day nursery so we cooked them for the children (and us) for snack time!

I have had my letter through for a dating scan so I rang up this morning and they had a cancellation for tomorrow so im going then!

All quiet on the ms front at the moment, the queasiness has eased which also makes me wonder if it just took my body 3.5 weeks to get over the d&v bug I had. Who knows!

Glad to see so many people on the list Wink

My ms has eased slightly Winnie I'm 8 wks tomorrow. Good skills on getting your scan sorted!!! Envy

PopcornMouse · 21/02/2012 16:35

I didn't think you could date before 10 weeks, winnie ? Good luck :)

Winnie81 · 21/02/2012 17:09

I don't know pop, oh well if not at least I get an extra scan!!

I'm only having it to confirm for some tests I need at 12 weeks. I'll find out tmrw then and let u know!

OP posts:
GizzyBoo · 21/02/2012 17:13

I'm 8 weeks today too Smile

I am also being scanned tomorrow...but by the GP Shock
This is a dating scan too and its done early to make sure they send me to the mainland at the right time for my nuchal scan.

I am still undecided as to whether to go away and get the nuchal scan or not. Hubby and I have talked about it and are not sure if we would do anything different even if we do come back as high risk. Plus it means a 3/4 day trip away from home and the kids. But it would be good to know I think Confused

Its all so very different from 10 years ago!!!

Thunder it is remote but lovely lol. Its a 5 hour ferry trip to the mainland!! or a hours flight. Though we are yet to try flying as it would work out much more expensive for the 5 of us.
We moved here 18 months ago. Hubby's parents moved up here after retirement about 8 years ago and we used to visit on a yearly basis. We fell in love with the place and it got harder to leave every time. Eventually after one holiday hubby said I wish we could live there so I said why not. 4 months later we were on the ferry in 2 transit vans with everything we owned lol.

Its just fantastic. Its quiet, beautiful and safe...really safe. Only about 1200 people live on the island so it can be really peaceful though in summer we get a lot of tourists.

I can't imagine living anywhere else now Smile

Oh and not nosy at all.....Grin

CottonSock · 21/02/2012 20:52

Hi everyone.. Glad to hear some more good news. I'm more than 6 weeks now and not a hint of MS, so getting very worried and anxious. I didn't have much MS with my last pregnancy either which ended in a MC. Feeling tired, but just travelled 100's of miles and worked a very long day, I also did a long hike sunday! (that's normal for me so not overdoing it). So would normally feel knackered after that. I have not AF and a positive line, so know I should be grateful I am feeling so well, but wish I was feeling something :(
Is anyone else without MS?
I have been making myself miserable looking at MS stats an threads. Must stop!

HeyMicky · 21/02/2012 20:58

Evening all...First appointment today and I'm further along than I thought - 9+5! So now due 22 September. Can I stay, though? :) No scan till 14 March though, boo.

cottonsock I've not had any MS either, have been really anxious, but now I'm just going to gratefully enjoy it.

Bubblebell1 · 22/02/2012 08:30

Hello everyone. How are you all? Good luck to those with scans coming up Grin

Psammead · 22/02/2012 09:52

Hi everyone!

I am 7 weeks today. Feeling very down in the dumps. Maybe just worried about my scan tomorrow.

Quite jealous of Gizzy living in such a lovely place!

GizzyBoo · 22/02/2012 10:40

Morning all

Micky of course we will let you stay, so long as you promise to cross your legs and go at least 1 week overdue Grin

Cotton try not to worry, you may just be one of the lucky ones who doesn't spend their first trimester feeling like death! Smile

Morning bubble and thanks Thanks

Psam I shall try and post some pics later of where I am. Though if anyone is really interested I have loads on my FB and am happy to add people I chat to here. Just PM me should you want a nosy! Try not to stress about the scan lovely.

I have just painted my toenails for the GP Blush I shall now go shave my legs.....I make more of an effort for him than I do for my hubby Blush Grin

LoopyLa · 22/02/2012 10:42

Congratulations Loopyla it's so exciting when you've waited so long, it took us about that long with DD.

Umm, at 6 weeks should my trousers be getting tight?... Didn't think I'd eaten that many pies.

SkaterGrrrrl · 22/02/2012 13:40

Congratulations everyone! Can I join?

Am 7 weeks according to GP. Due 10 October and this will be my 2nd DC.... I have a boisterous 16 month old already.

We wont be finding out the sex.

How is everyone feeling today?

MakeTeaNotWar · 22/02/2012 14:12

Welcome welcome newbies. I'm 8 + 3 now, apparently my pip is the size of a kidney bean! Two more weeks to my booking in appointment! DH is due to be away skiing when I hit 13 weeks, I will be so upset if he misses the first scan but hopefully they'll accommodate me the week before...

Re symptoms - I haven't a single one and didn't with DD either so I don't think it means anything one way or the other (I also had a lovely 4 hour labour and waterbirth with DD - can I really be so lucky again second time round?)

AliceHurled · 22/02/2012 14:59

Hello, I'm expecting my first too. I'm 5/6 weeks, had a scan last week and saw a teeny heartbeat! Feel very sick, but not been sick yet. I am a NCer btw, was saving this name for early pregnancy Grin

CottonSock · 22/02/2012 18:22

arrrhh just lost my long post I was writing into cyber space.
In summery, I am grateful for your reassuring comments :)
I would love to go to Scotland and explore more (love the outdoors and hiking), but hear scary things about bugs. Do they eat you alive?
I'm currently raging after seeing some really stupid comments on facebook. Not pregnancy related.
Welcome newbies. Not sure what a NCer is? Newcomer?
Alice somone else asked if a heart beat could be seen so early, so guess it can. Why did they scan you so early if you don't mind me asking?

HettyTurner · 22/02/2012 19:26

I am so unbelievably tired tonight. Not sure I will make it through OBEM! Considering a bath, PJs, peppermint Brew and I might just make it.

I just read advice about weight gain in pregnancy, I need to aim for no more than 25lbs, and none in the first trimester. So I am already gaining more weight than I should...

Didn't bother last time and put on over 3 stone and I only managed to lose 2st 5lbs after 20 months. Anyone managing to carry on exercising? I've just been too tired to do my DVDs.
