I read it on MN so it must be true!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow blonder

Good luck to the other ladies with scans!! Think the stats list has got lost miles back in the thread!

Hello ladies,
Congrats on all the fab new scans.
I have an update, I told the deputy manger and she was very supportive. Have also told my manger so watch this space.
I'm still feeling sick at times, but my main proplem is tireness. I come home from work and go to bed. 14weeks this week.

Fingers crossed blonder just been food shopping bought lots of cereal?! Hard to chose meals when all you can think about is crunchy nut cornflakes?! I don't usually like them?!

I'm sat here crying. Think i'll go to bed. I'm back to square one :(

Oh no,

Wow, just reading through all your kind messages, it's making me a bit tearful (that's a good sign right?). You're all brilliant.

Horsey, Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes covers most food groups, I think.

Evil, glad to hear you are getting some support. It matters such a lot and I hadn't realised till recently how begrudging some places of work seem to be about maternity issues. Hope things work out well.

Detective - poor, poor, poor you.

Thanks blonder.
It just the few that shout the loudest, that are causing the proplems.

awww detective (((hugs)))

Anyone in Scotland or up North? Totally off topic, but there is a cracking solar storm brewing - we've got wicked Northern Lights up here. Am about to apply matchsticks to my eyelids to prop them open to stay awake another hour....

Bugger. Stupid F-ING just lost my post. Too tired to re-write so I'll just leave it at;

Night all, hoping tomorrow dawns a better day for anyone have a tough time/day/experience at the mo. Hugs.

Sounds amazing YW. I'm in rainy London with no Northern Lights at all. It must be beautiful up there.

Hope by the time Detective reads this things are better.

Grey skies, thunder and lightening here. Would love to see Northern Lights.

I'm not having NT as I'd never have amnio and really don't think I could ever abort so why head down that path?

I was asked why I was having an early scan and I said that I'd been warned I probably won't get my 12 week until 14 weeks. Sonographer pointed out that that was too late for NT then proceeded to try and guilt me into booking another with the private company.

I was pretty shaken and didn't mention it before as it took two days to really absorb how horrible it was to basically be accused of putting my head in the sand and denying my baby the opportunity for medical care.

I stuck my guns but getting the hard sell when so vulnerable was awful. There are some horrible people out there and that woman certainly cast a shadow on what should've been my magical first sighting of my baby.

I know I need to let it go but I think I needed to exorcise if here if that makes sense asI don't want to discuss why I don't want NT with other people.

My midwife totally accepted my reasons when I told her thankfully.

Sorry about mammoth rant.

Morning all, DD woke up at 6:30 today which is very unlike her. I'm shattered and seem to have had a permanent headache for the last 2 days which is also unusual for me as I never get headaches. It's going to be a very long day I think.

detective hope you are feeling better this morning.

blonder will be thinking of you. Hope you see a happy healthy baby at your scan.

waiting your choices are different to mine but your sonographer sounds horrible. Sorry you had a bad experience, and you had to pay for the privilege too! When I had my private scan I was wishing I could get all my scans done privately. Perhaps I will if I win the lottery

Good morning all,

YW I am in Scotland but was well tucked up in bed by that time. Not sure I would have seen anything under the solar glare of central Scotland.

Blonder I really hope today goes well.

still no scan date for me. This is doing my head in. I dreamt last night that I had a massive bleed. I flew (literally in a plane!) to EPU and insisted on medical care. I eventually persuaded a nurse to check for a heart beat and . . . I woke up. I can't even get a bloody scan in my sleep.

In other news, boiled egg and toast just took a trip down the toilet. Wasn't even feeling sick but obviously tummy didn't agree

Have just weighed myself. Not good. Nearly 2kg on since pre-pg weight (I think about 5lbs). :( So much for no weight gain during the 1st trimester. Try telling my tummy that!!! It just wants food to stop the nausea...

Fed up with the rain, but know we need it. Bah!!!

Off to the chiropractor today to get my dodgy hips sorted. Wish me luck!!!

P.S. eliza have you tried 4head? I had a go last week - no magical cure but felt good

detective how are you this morning?

I'm still feeling shattered at 8pm too I managed to stay up til 9 last night. This weather doesn't help I can't go out ds and I just sit inside and eat loads!

Hi All

Hope you are feeling a bit better this morning Detective.

I had my third scan yesterday morning and all is well with the munchkin, so my family will be told about him at the weekend. I have my NHS scan on 10 May, and if all is still fine, I will probably finally believe that this PG is going to work.

Just got back from holiday in Rome, which was lovely. Didn't get to see the Sistine Chapel because by the time we got to it I was overheated and tired and ended up collapsing on the floor in tears for no apparent reason. DH had to carry me out!

blonder Good luck for today, I'll have everything crossed for you.

Does anyone know what I can take for a cold? I've hardly slept for 2 nights because I'm all bunged up.

Rough as a badgers bum still :( feel like I'm back to square one with it all. Massive food and smell aversions back, drained of all energy. I'm still in bed now and had to tell DP to take DS to school. He's got a face on him now as apparently he was going to a mobile phone shop before work and now he will be rushed. Boohoo. It's his own fault he cancelled his contract at the end of te term then didn't organise anything else either pay as you go or contract. So yesterday he discovered he couldn't send or receive any calls/texts. So now he's all in a panic. He could go after work, or tomorrow, but NO! He is the most impatient man ever! He only ever texts ME!!! So no idea what all the fuss he is creating is for. Probably because he wants a shiny new gadget.

Sorry, I'm ranting now. I just feel like a bag of broken spanners. :(

Hope everyone else has a much better day!

Waiting I would write a letter of complaint to the head office. Nobody should treat you like that.

In scotland but fast asleep at time of northern lights display.

Feel the sickest I have felt today and I am past 12 weeks now. Not happy, but scan on thursday to look forward to.

Sorry everyone is feeling ill :( I'm hoping I'm coming out the other side!! The nausea still there but I'm so much less tired!! I think I can run again!!! Good luck to all with the scans etc. Waiting your experience sounds awful!! I just said no the mw said was I sure and I said yes. She then said most things are picked up anyway if there are major they would look into it. Personal choice I totally understand why people want to know as well!! Have good days :)
