So sorry pip :( Wishing you the best of luck for a 2013 bundle of joy xxx

Chick and Tiago that's wonderful news, congratulations xxx

Tiago What could be seen at your scan today? Did it look like a baby?! I am 10 weeks today also, and can't get my head around the fact that it might now actually look like a miniature baby!

For the pregnancy sickness ladies, I'd like to share my tip with you. After having a horrible few days, I have found something to really help my nausea. Sucking on boiled sweets. Currently working my way through blackcurrant liquorish, and my god its amazing. For the first time in days (except for the time I wake in the morning before getting out of bed) I don't feel nauseous. I have also only been sick once today. And I haven't needed an injection. WOOHOO!

Not sure my teeth are going to thank me, but who cares right now!

Has anyone else who has told their parents been getting pressure for a certain sex?! Both mine and DP's mother are wanting a girl. I am really getting quite alarmed at my mother! I saw her at the weekend and she was asking about names, and we told her we only had one name in mind so far, and it was a boys name, not come up with a girls name. So then she went off on one, saying that I must know its a boy! She wouldn't have it that there was no way we could know right now!

I then sent her a picture of some white baby clothes I had bought, and she text back saying, see I told you you knew it was a boy! I was like, mum, they are white!!!! She really is worrying me now! What does she think I will do if it is a boy? Send it back?

Honestly, that woman! I give UP!

As for births, well I already know what I want, and I've known it for 10 years since DS was born. I am planning a home water birth. I had an emergency caesarean after a failed ventouse with him, and had both an episiotomy and a c/s scar. The c/s scar broke down, and opened, and became infected. It was utter agony for 6 weeks after. The whole thing was just awful, and after a long long period of PTSD I came to the conclusion, that the only way I will birth again, is my way, with me in control of all the decisions. And in order for that to happen, I need to be in my own environment.

If you asked me professionally what I thought of what I just wrote above, I'd probably think I was rather insane. But you can't have both hats on at once :) So homebirth it is.

Oooo home birth?! Not thought of that my cousin had one said was amazing!! Kind of means I can't have a ga though lol!! My mother also doing my head in! Gave me a huge lecture tonight I was like what will be will be and we can't change anything now?!

Ps what is troll hunting?

Hello all. Just caught up on thread.

Pips - sorry for your loss. Take care of yurself, xx

Glad there has been good news for you Tiago & Chick.

I've got my 12 week scan two weeks today. Seems an age away and it can't come quick enough. Hate wishing the time away, but what little symptoms I had seem to have dulled drastically (10+4 today). Oh well, today I am pregnant and I am going to enjoy it.

Not enjoying work at the moment. No-one seems to know what they're doing. Everything changes daily and I just cannot be arsed with it. Hopefully, only 6 more months and I'll not have to worry about it. May have gone insane by that point though!!

Seem to be snacking on fruit, and cheese & biscuits. Philadelphia is a firm favourite at the mo.

Have moved into non underwired bras, as underwired were hurting too much. Think I may need some bigger ones soon as they are starting to be a bit squished. Am holding off as long as possible though just in case they grow anymore. Next size up is an E and I'm only 5 foot!!! I'll need a trolley to lug them around soon!

Troll hunting - Wiki!

By the way, gonna go into hospital I think as this is my first. Maternity wing is at the end of my road, so not far for DH to travel to visit!!

EW Mine are 17-29 weeks for the qualifying weeks. I'm trying not to get too worried about still being off then, if this pregnancy is anything like DS's. Please, god, no!

Detective thanks!! Was just on the talk thing never heard of it! Back to pregnancy!!

You are NHS detective aren't you? I'm trying to work out when it's worthwhile doing my nights and when it doesn't matter too much!

So sorry to hear about pip. Very brave and lovely words from her and Foof and I join everyone in sending good wishes for the future.

Glad there have been some good scans too and hope there will be more happy news in months to come.

So sorry to hear your news Pip. X

Izzy I was going to ask HR, because I wasn't sure if it was the hours I do in weeks 17-29 or what I get paid in those weeks. As obviously unsocials are paid the month after you do them. I think it might be on your earnings, meaning I'd have to be doing nights/weekends from 12 weeks or so :(

I think when I had my DD it was weeks 15-26 but I don't know if I'm mix remembering. I asked elsewhere and the answers varied a bit. Some people said it was what you were paid in the two months preceding something or other and when I worked it out those would be months June and July. Meaning need more shifts in may and June cos our OOH shifts are paid the following month. Hard to contact HR in private at work, but I will try the intranet tomorrow.

Hi ladies,back from holiday, really did miss the thread! Sorry to hear the news from pip and foof, I fear joining them as bled on plane home today,worse bleed so far, have stop started bleeding for last 3 weeks, have scan tomorrow at 9am, so am crossing everything, but feeling very negative as also not had any morning sickness, will let you know when I know the news x

Good luck for tomorrow essex. I know several people that haven't had any morning sickness and gone on to have no problems whatsoever so it's not necessarily an indication that something's wrong. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Izzy and the dectective- where I am it is based on what you are paid! So that's weeks 11- 20. So I have been trying to work nights on the weekend.
It's not a bad thing to keep up as I want to earn and save as much as possible.

Good luck for your scan essex mines at 10.30 and I am also not feeling very positive

Good luck to the ladies who ave scans today. Wishing you all the best.

*have

Good luck Pink and Essex will be thinking of you. Its so weird Ive never been into/had time for internet forums but I love reading everyones posts and really feel that we are in this all together...well we are really are nt we breeding the next generation and all that..lol. Had a brill nights sleep no sickness at 3am for a change but literally ate like a budgie yesterday...not good I know but will defo eat more today.

pinkapples good luck at your scan, I'm sure you'll have good news.

I've got my booking app at 11 today, I didn't get that really long questionnaire in my bounty pack to fill out before seeing the mw so she said she'd drop it round before my app to give me a chance to fill it out but I still haven't been sent one I hope it doesn't delay anything.

Ohhhh tell me more about said bounty pack...

No good lucks please just mega crossed fingers

Good luck to the scan ladies.

detective you can see a head with two eyes, a little heart beating, the cord (which is right next to the head at this point ate the body and head are about the same size), there's a hernia in the abdomen ( which is apparently normal as the intestines need room to twist over and will be gone at 12 weeks) and you can just about see legs and the baby wriggles.

It was magic and he sonographer was lovely and explained what all the bits were. I'm starting to believe this may actually work.

So pleased for you Tiago my 12 wk scan is to come through the post ..cant wait.

Fingers crossed pink and Essex - if it's any comfort Essex I've had no ms either and have friends who sailed through with none and healthy babies to show for it.
