Mine doesn't look much of a bump being over-shadowed by these gigantic boobs!

Passmethecrisps · 10/05/2012 18:26

Evening all.

Settled on the sofa ready for a Dexter session.

I don't have a bump yet either. However, I think it has pished everything up so my normally relatively flat tummy now pops out.

Told all work now so the secret is out. Everyone has been great - it is lovely to chat openly about it. Was a bit queasy today but definitely significantly better than a couple of weeks ago.

StuntNun · 10/05/2012 18:32

Twelve and a half hours until my scan!

I had my scan today. It all went really well. They put me two days ahead of where I thought I was so edd 18 Nov....woohoo. Will update the list a bit later. I'm really excited, and feel like I can relax a little.

OMG Stuntnun and DesperateHousewife our scans are TOMORROW! Had the most rubbish night's sleep last night cos I was thinking about it so much, and so I can't see me getting much sleep tonight either...can't wait to finally relax about it all, and start telling people, we've kept it a secret from everybody for so long!

Hey Ladies.

I have been waiting for what seems like a lifetime for today.....but have finally had my twelve week scan :) It was so much clearer than I remember with the others but I guess technology has moved on quite a bit in the past 7 years.

The picture looks like the scream mask, we got a face on picture....very scary.

We can know tell the world but don't know if we want to yet....is that strange??

Glad to see so many happy scan results :) Could someone please add me to the list.

Victorious (29) EDD 15/11/12

blonderthanred · 10/05/2012 20:04

Great news Victorious! I feel the same about telling people, I'm so used to it being my secret - and it being "too early" - seems so strange to have it out in the open.

Very happy day for you. If you want to hug it to yourself a bit longer, why not?

misslaughalot · 10/05/2012 20:05

Fab news Victorious, congratulations!

DesperateHousewife21 · 10/05/2012 20:57

misslaughalot eeee!! Can't wait! Mines not til 4pm so prov last out of the three of us.
I'm so tired nothing will stop me sleeping!
Fingers crossed for us all, I'm sure everything will be fine :)

My DD is SOOOOO cute. When I'm heaving, she runs off shouting 'bucket' & comes back with it. Then she stands by my side, having a good look, saying sick. I held my hair back from it, she said 'bobble'. And earlier she was talking to the baby in my tummy & listening to see if it talked back. Maybe we shouldn't have said anything, but I didn't want her to worry I was ill & also overhear our conversations & not understand iyswim. I hope the scan is ok next wk because she is just so damn cute about it now, I can't wait for the kicks etc.Grin

Good news Victorious :)

Bluetinkerbell · 10/05/2012 21:28

chunky My DD comes and sits next to me when I'm hanging over the toilet and pats my back and then talks sternly to my belly saying 'naughty baby it's not nice doing that to mummy'

very happy about all the good scans :)

Chunkychicken · 10/05/2012 21:44

Ah bless blue how old is she? DD is only just 2yo so I thought she wouldn't understand or pay much attention but although I haven't discouraged the tummy interaction, I haven't actively encouraged it either. My little baby isn't a baby anymore!!!

Evilwater · 10/05/2012 21:47

I've had a fab day, went to the midwife who was fantasic! I got to listen to the heart beat, which is strong and regular. I had lunch with my friend who also is amazing.

I bought some some baby vests today, from mothercare which were cute. I've had a bath, while watching black adder.

For tomorrow I have a cunning plan..........

Sending you all positive thoughts,
Evil

applepieinthesky · 10/05/2012 22:08

Congrats thechick and victorious

My dad bought us a car seat today Smile Group 0-2 so it's suitable from birth and should last up to about 6 years old. My nana also bought us frame to put the scan photo in so it doesn't get damaged.

victorious no that's not strange at all, I feel the same. I've told family but still haven't told work yet. Not sure what's stopping me. I have to tomorrow really because then I'm off for 10 days and might have sprouted a bump by the time I get back. I'm really nervous about it, more than when I told my parents. I'm sitting here stressing about what I'm going to say. Somebody slap me!

WaitingForMe · 10/05/2012 22:24

DSS2 came up to me and asked how tall the baby was now. Very cute.

But today I found out the wife of a friend has just miscarried. I think she was about 16 weeks Sad

applepieinthesky · 10/05/2012 22:37

Ohhh that's horrible waiting So sad Sad and at 16 weeks as well.

My puppy just gave me a fright. He was biting the door of his crate and got his mouth stuck Hmm He was yelping and panicking and it took me a while to help him. Silly thing!

DesperateHousewife21 · 11/05/2012 07:01

apple poor her :( that must be awful.

Scan today! Only 9 hours to go Grin

StuntNun · 11/05/2012 10:17

Wooo definitely a baby in there but couldn't get a good view of the nub. Off to tell everyone at work that I haven't just let myself go a bit!

Apple- my big dog had some of fit after eating rice last night! Emergency trip to vet, blood tests this morning but they seem to think rice and cereal allergy! Given how it happened and the extreme reaction last night. Pup is lame from running round like a crazy fool (shell be sound after a lie down). I'm off work, having hoped to go to royal Windsor but in fact poo and sick monitoring big dog!! I'll clean the house shortly. My mamas and papas catalogue arrived so read through that!! I love gingerbread and zeddy and parsnip :)

horseylady · 11/05/2012 10:24

Omg stuff on eBay so cheap!!! Bad idea me being off work. I will not buy anything.......said I wouldn't till 20weeks.....

horseylady · 11/05/2012 10:25

Stunt - yay congrats!!!!

DesperateHousewife21 · 11/05/2012 11:53

Yay stunt!

Still have 4 hours to go, not too long!

Chunkychicken · 11/05/2012 12:45

Lovely stuff stuntnun :)

Less than a week for me to go!!! Hmm Seems to far away... Angry

Westwinger Think we were discussing weight yesterday/day before?? I think I may have been kidding myself. Put on normal work trousers, thinking I could do the elastic/bump band combo. Def not. Too tight around the upper thigh/bum area and couldn't do one pair up, other pair could just do up but were uncomfortable around the crotch area, as they were riding up a bit. Admitted defeat and put the maternity pair on. Its weird though, as wore a normal skirt yesterday which, although is a bit shorter as its higher up on my waist/stomach now, was only beginning to show the strain at 6pm when I got in... Just looked in the mirror though and if I stand up straight, have the trousers at just the right position and suck it in a bit, I don't look too bad - less fat tum, more slight thickening of the waist.

On the plus side, think I'm feeling lots of wriggles from Grub today. Either that or really weird wind. Prefer to think its bubba.

Have to pay for our scan photos (up to 4 at £5 a pop no less - sure I got 1 free when I had DD) but you have to pay before the scan. Now, forgive me for being daft, but how do you know how many pictures you're going to get until you actually have the scan?!!! I mean, we could pay for 4, find out Grub isn't playing ball and deliberately being camera shy and only get 1 or 2. Is it wrong to then go back and demand our money back?!! And if we pay for 4, can we get them to print multiple copies of the same 'good' image?!! Ridiculous system really.

DesperateHousewife21 · 11/05/2012 13:10

So after yours chicken there are no more? My due date is mid nov I thought there would be at least a week more of scans. Seems everyone on this thread is due either beginning or mid nov but no one is at the end!
