Goldene No, I have never seen anyone use it. Once I heard a lady was using it in one of the other rooms. It just seems to feel right to me, as I think you need to be positive when it comes to labour, and have belief in yourself!

Onamission Congratulations! Does that make you due on 7th?

Any news on those scan dates yet Passme and Jaylee??!

I had the regular dash to the toilet this morning, same as the last 3 days. Just sick the once, then fine, but with nausea in between - especially if I smell anything strong. I'm hoping this is an improvement! I'm much less tired now as well, which helps a lot!

Me and DP went to the Mamas and Papas shop today, and you should have seen his excited little face - just like a kid in a sweet shop!! We just browsed, and picked out a few things to add to the list of wants! Also ruled out something I thought I wanted! I was going to get the starlight swing - off eBay, but seeing it, and feeling it - it seems so uncomfy, I'm not bothering! Glad I saw it before buying it now!

I'm shattered now though, as this is the most I have done in a day for weeks and weeks! Got me a Lush bubble bar while out shopping, and I can hear it calling my name!

Going to take DS swimming tomorrow if all is okay as the poor child has done nothing for weeks either! We usually do something like cinema/bowling etc once a week, but not been able to! And I can enjoy the water again! Was lovely feeling so weightless, and it helped the nausea loads!

Hello. Congratulations to all the good news scans.

I am also 13 weeks today so am now in the second trimester, hurrah!!

Boobs have stopped hurting but stomach no longer flat! Will have to go through wardrobe to see what fits and what doesn't this weekend. Have some spare larger clothes already so will have to go through them as well to see if are starting to fit better!

Can't wait to start feeling this litte one move!

Congratulations Donna! :)

Congrats!! Anyone else finding they can't eat too much as you get so full??!!

well today i rang the ultrasound department and they havent even recieved my details from last week. so i then phoned my midwife to see why they havent sent my details and when this would be sent over. the head midwife was lovely and sent my details over straight away i then phoned the ultrasound department back and have my scan next week. letter is on its way to me woooooooo. excited!!!

I have a scan date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3rd May I will officially find out if I am carrying a foetus or just a big poo. So relieved to finally get the date.

I will be 13 weeks exactly.

Going to go tunic and legging shopping tomorrow. Hopefully I will look less sausage like.

Thank god for that ladies! I was starting to worry!! Thought I was gonna have to get all assertive for you!

I really can't wait til sunday for this private scan. I'm excited that not only is it in 2D, but 3D and 4D as well! Eeeeek!

Wooo Detective I am v jealous! that will be amazing.

passmethecrisps sausage like is a perfect description of me too. Am just about to go away on a nice beach holiday and will look like a right doughball in my bikini. Would much rather I was a month or two further along so I looked preggers rather than like a piglet. Grrrr. Think there will be lots of shoulders and up photos!

Congratulations to those finally receiving scan dates and those getting good news at their scans today! What a lovely start to the weekend xx

Yay for the good scans and scan dates (even if they are before mine!)

The private scan we're hopefully going to have in June will be 4D too, can't wait really hope FIL goes for the idea.

Thankyou ladies, Detective are you going to find out the sex if they can see...which surely they would beable to have a very good guess in 3 or d ?

Hi all, sorry I keep joining then disappearing, I'm on strong anti sickness and antibiotics, I've had an awful 3 weeks in bed. I have a UTI/kidney infection.

My scan is 9th May, I'll be 12+4.

Good news on the scans passme and jaylee!

Sorry you've been ill titsalina - sounds awful.

Sorry to hear that Titsalina sounds awful. you must feel miserable, fingers crossed you'll be on the mend soon.

Detective it does indeed. Am v jealous of your 4d scan! Can't wait to see pics.

I had a quote from a London clinic who want £200. Boohiss.

Glad you got your dates finally passme and jaylee

Congrats donna. Am very pleased to hear about another stubborn baby that just wants to sleep through scans (I've been getting v envious of all the people with wrigglers) - mine only moved last scan when the sonographer jiggled my abdomen with the wand to get him to turn! My next and final scan before the 20 week is on 10 may at noon, when I will be 14+2. So long as the baby lives at that scan, I will believe this may all work out and can then add my :)

Congrats onamission too!

Thanks Tiago :)

Donna I was wondering if it would be possible at this stage. I suspect not to be honest, as the male and female genitals look very similar still. However I will ask the sonographer to let me look, and I can have a good guess! I will probably drive myself mad in the next 3 weeks before I can find out for sure! Still, it won't change anything for us at the minute, still waiting for the good ole NHS scan at 20 weeks to buy anything remotely gender related. Not that we are buying much - other than clothing - that will not be suitable for both sex!

I just want to know. NOW! I don't do surprises well!!

Poor Tits :( I used to have recurrent UTI's/kidney infections for over 14 years. Had an operation 2 years ago and not had once since! You have my sympathy, they were horrendous :( I've been worrying in case pregnancy sets them off again in me - but I remember with DS - pregnancy was the ONLY time in all those 14 years where I didn't get them! Strange...

Is the vomiting because of the UTI? Or as well as? X

I got my 12 week scan date today. 8th May, I'll be 12+1. So much for my trust running two weeks behind.

Still glad I had the private one though. It'll give us something to compare to in addition to being reassuring at the time

Gender can be guessed quite accurately at 12ish weeks by studying the angle of the pointing of the nub. Boy and girl bits are very similar at this stage. Girl bits point out at right angle and boys point upwards. 16 weeks is when things are recognisable. DH has agreed to gender scan after anomoly scan as he rightly says health is more important than gender.

Hey ladies,

It must be our lucky days. I got my scan date through today too. I can finally join the list with you ladies.

Jaylee89 - waiting

Morning everyone

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend so far. I never get a chance to post on here very much but I do have a nosey and try to keep up with everyone's news.

We had our scan yesterday and it was wonderful, baby actually looks like a baby and has changed so much from the little jellybean it was just over 4 weeks ago. Baby measured 12weeks and 5 days, edd 4th of Nov, so as of tomorrow I will be in the second trimester .

We got to see baby wriggling about, and he/she just wasn't for staying still long enough to get accurate measurements, so I was asked to go and empty my bladder to see of that would help (what a relief that was). We saw baby opening and closing his/her mouth, putting one hand behind their head relaxing and putting one hand to his/her forehead a if it was all too much performing for us . It was such a lovely experience and we were given 5 pictures and they are all really clear.

We spent most of yesterday letting extended family and friends know our news, and went to a pram centre where a close friend of mine works to buy a little babygro. It was really funny because as we walked into the shop my friend said jokingly "have you got something to tell me?" and when we said yes she couldn't quite believe it, I've never had so many cuddles in one day as I did yesterday.

We are off to a baby show today, I'm very excited and I hope to get more of an idea of some of the things we would like to buy for this little baby, it seems the perfect opportunity to test things out. I also need to get some new bras and some big comfortable pants

I watched this morning, and there was a feature from Dr Robert Winston and he was talking about a new series of DVDs, about various different aspects of baby care, I think I may order them for dh, as he is more of a practical man and prefers to be shown things rather than rely on information from books. I think he is feeling a tad overwhelmed, as although this is our first baby. I have worked with children for over 12 years, and he is worried that he won't be able to look after a baby .

Morning!

So lovely to have lots more good news. Congrats everyone! tits hope you are now getting better soon.

We're spreading the news - my work have been fab which is a real weight. I told my CEO and he just grinned (a man who NEVER smiles) and then got all practical about money and child care and I think from what he was saying they'll be pretty flexible if I want to go back part time.

I've had some very sweet messages from my cousins so my mum has clearly done her job and the family grapevine is as efficient as ever.

Today we're out to lunch with one of my best friends, and then there's a big party this evening when we'll tell all my other friends.

I'd been worrying and fretting after the suspected ectopic, and it's such a relief to tell everyone and get excited with them. DH is possibly the most excited of everyone though

Good to hear of all the happy scans! I have mine on tues morning followed by consultant clinic. I have a BMI of 32 ar the moment (it was 31 a few weeks ago_and before that I've brougt it down from 36!)

I'm not sure why I'm consultant, it could be just BMI or possibly another reason but its so rare I don't want to scare people or out myself!

Baby show tomorrow! Excited!

cacacaz that sounds fabulous. I'm worried about the full bladder issue so it is good to know that it is possible I'll not have to have one for long.

tomato enjoy your day soaking it all up. Hopefully next weekend i'll be in the same position.

Well, today is tunic purchasing day. Seems Dotty P is the place to go. They had some lovely 40s style ones which are similar to my usual clothing anyway. Anything with ruffles is going to look odd on me so structured is best.

So far central Scotland is sunny - long may it continue!
