I wish the NHS had national policies - I got a free scan pic but no slimming world subscription and if I want to know the gender will need to go private. Of all the freebies to have I came off worst! At least the care is free.

Could not sleep for thinking about pushchairs. Daft innit!

I put on a couple of pounds shortly after my BFP and haven't put on any since then despite going up a dress size (normal 10 to maternity 12) and three bra sizes. It's most bizarre as I'm far bigger! And there is definitely a baby in there.

Today I noticed my thickening waist has slimmed at the sides and I'm carrying in front. DH says from behind it's as though I've lost weight. I feel like I'm transitioning from lumpy chunky to pregnant. I'm thrilled as I just looked like I'd let myself go and eaten all the pies.

Come on shiny hair, good skin and energy!

Waiting dh said to me who ate all the pies when I showed him my belly. I've put on no weight so hoping it's leaving my legs lol. Energy def getting better :)

I weigh a stone less than at conception but none of my jeans fit. My tummy feels really bloated from under the ribs down. Perhaps this is as it is my third pregnancy. I look about six months gone this week. 15+1.

Well, I finally actually believe it, I'm having a baby!! The scan was amazing, a very wriggly baby to start with, upside down and wiggling its legs in the air, then decided to have a nap when the midwife was trying to take measurements. Got some fab views of its face too. We can finally start telling people now, can't wait!

Good to hear your scan went well stuntnun, fingers crossed for you DH

Good news misslaughalot :)

Good luck DH and yes, think I am officially the last one on the thread :( My current EDD is 19/11 although the scan may put it a day or 2 later, as fairly sure I know the 24-48hrs I ovulated & therefore conceived, but a day it 2 makes no difference really. My DD's scan on 12+1 put me at 12+3 but they kept the EDD as that from LMP. I guess 48hrs is nothing when it compares to 40wks!!!

Hate feeling fat & lumpy & bloated, and there's nothing I can do about it :( Have tried looking up aquanatal classes, antenatal yoga or anything other preggo exercise & there's NOTHING in my area. I mean, literally everything is a good 10miles+ away, & there's no way I can get anywhere, do the class, deal with DD etc etc. If I had been playing hockey more regularly before, I might have played that, but the season's finished & I'd barely played since October when I had my appendectomy. :( I guess the most exercise I'll get is pushing the pram.

Scan went well, baby would not co operate at all. It took 3 separate goes to get all the measurements but it had all the right parts!
Due date is now the 20th nov so been put back a bit.

Congrats all!! Is that all the scans then?!

Congrats misslaugh stunt and DH

Good stuff DH :)

And Horseylady no it bloody well isn't the last - can't believe you haven't noticed me whining on and on and on about still waiting until next WEDNESDAY grrrrr :( I will be 13+2 then too, so they'd better not bring me forward any more than a couple of days, as then the screening test is pointless and I'll have to wait a couple more weeks for another test... That's unlikely though, so here's hoping that next Wednesday will be a good day and I can finally confirm my pregnancy/due date!!!!

:( sorry! I thought you'd had a private one :( roll on next wed for you!!!!

No, sorry, no private one for me :( Going NUTS waiting. Arggghhhh. The chunky looking, green tinged, knackered one rocking in the corner is me...

Chicken, I was meant to be 13+2 today but they put me back to 12+3 grr! But then again they did that with my ds and he was 9 days early so they're not always right!

It is just 'estimated' though I suppose DH isn't it, so what's a few days between friends??!!

OI! I had a scan today and my EDD stays at 28.11., thankyouverymuch!

:) Got a massive wave first thing and like a proper dimmo I actually waved back, everyone fell about laughing at me and then my little babe started doing cartwheels and somersaults and was bucking all over the place, quite a display we had.

the obstetrician said he wants to do a scan every month, and would I mind? I said he could do it daily if he wanted to .

rollecoaster feelings all day because I got a call at 7.30 to tell me that my friend succumbed to cancer... I cried all the way to the hospital and wept buckets in the waiting room, bet all mums there thought I'm mad. :(

exhausted now from wild emotions, off to sleep!

Great news SunnyPie but sorry to hear about your friend, that must be hard. Glad that someone has a due date later than me even if they had their scan earlier

Hello all! I've been distracted . Was the list re-started? Can I add myself?

Am only 13+2 but can feel bubs doing the cancan in there. Must be the cheese and toast I just ate. On track to put on an extra stone this pg....

Congratulations to DH Stuntnun misslaugh and sunny

But sorry about your friend sunny - how awful :(

Hello. Finally managed to get caught up on thread. Congratulations to all the good scans. Sorry for the few bits of bad news.

My new car is fab! And the doggies love it as they can see out the back window and have a good nosy around. Must be amusing for the cars behind me!

Have to alter my wardrobe as a lot of my stuff doesn't fit anymore. Think I need bigger bras soon too! Only 5 weeks but already feel like the size of a house and have put on about 7-8 lbs even though you're not supposed to yet! I'm a short arse, so will probably be as wide as I am tall soon!

Think we will be doing some road trips this weekend as the hubby has got a new car too (used his redundancy money - we're not normally this rich!).

Hope people start feeling the "glow" soon. Take care all and have a brill weekend. :o

Nutella looks like you and me are on a race to produce the fifth grandchild! Your mum's freaking out about having two grandchildren due the same week cos it trumps all the other grannies. It'll be lovely for the cousins to have their birthdays so close together.

We told DS1 and DS2 the news today and they're delighted. We took them to Build-A-Bear and they made a teddy together for the baby.

Morning girls,

Just checking in, hope you are all well. Great news on the scans and welcome to to newbies.

I need to add myself to the stats at some point but that can go on my list of things to do which is ever expanding due to general laziness. The first thing though is to actually write a list!!

Hubby is being soooo cute. He's subscribed to babycentre for weekly updates about what to expect in pregnancy and a book arrived yesterday talking dads through the 9 months. He also wants us to go away for my treat!! I just love that he's so excited, his two best mates are also expecting their first babies so they are all getting excited together, last night we popped to the pub an I overheard them chatting about bugaboos!!! I can't wait to have a day when we get the three of them look after the 4 babies. I'd need to set some cameras up!!

Hi,

Thanks for adding me to the list.

Chunkychicken your scan will come around in no time at all :)

Is anyone feeling like Morning Sickness is passing now? I think I am over the worst of it and now it just hits me occassionaly, and I can cope with it coz I really feel it is going away a bit more each passing day.

I am just online looking into trying to buy a flexi-wire maternity bra. Last time I stuck with no underwire, and those bras made my boobs look really awful. I'd like to try and look half decent this time and just try out one of these bras. They seem mega expenive though! I had also looked at a pregnancy pillow this morning, but I really should just dig out my old one and see if I can use that one again instead of forking out again.

I think I just love the shopping and would go mad given half a chance but I do and try to be sensible. I like 'window shopping' online and just getting excited!!

Some days ms is better some days it's not, hopefully now I'm officially second trimester (woop!) it will start going away.

I'm being a real misery today, we were invited out last night for a meal, DS2 got sick is guess who got left here?
