Morning all good luck everyone with your scans today. Very happy to log on and hear all the good news

Congratulations on your scans Giddy and Mrs Simkins. Mrs S, your experience makes me feel a tad more relaxed. I've been so paranoid not to have had any symptoms it's great to hear that you had the same and everything is tickety boo.

Olliebobs you should totally use Bunny Amber-Rose if you have girl. If DH and I can't agree on names further down the line I'll threaten him with the baby name generator.

Just told work my reasons for wanting to postpone my trip. Had to tell my manager's boss as she's away but he was lovely, really understanding. Big relief. Now just counting down until scan day on the 10th October.

teapig just seen your post after being offline for a couple of days so happy for you there's been so much response. I don't really know much about the flying aspect but about telling work I also didn't want to say anything till after the 12 week scan but then when I was 10 weeks there was a case of slap cheek in school so I had to tell my line manager so I could take time off to get tested for immunity. I was really upset at first to have said anything before the scan but it was fine she was really encouraging and it was very reassuring to know that if I really was having a bad day (which I was having quite a lot of) there was someone I could go moan to...
good luck, hope it all works out okay

btw thanks for whoever posted the baby name generator it's giving me lots of entertainment. How funny one of the names it gave me for a boy is DH's middle name and one was my brother in laws name, guess my pil are good at name picking...

Good luck for today everyone!!

Feel like the excitement of last week's scan is now wearing off slightly and I am now back on count down mode to 8th November, when I have my 20 week (and the following day when I have my fetal cardiac scan, which I need because of being high risk).

I am also desperately paying attention for signs of movement, but know it is probably way too soon for a 1st baby. Ah well, will keep trying!

13+1

Good luck to all having scans - Wishful I am sure you will be fine!

Anybody bought maternity trousers yet? I carry my weight around the middle anyway and what with a bit of early weight gain and bloating my trousers no longer do up! After buying some bigger normal trousers and them not really looking great (they are baggy everywear else) I have bought a pair from JoJo Maman but they are not quite as smart as I would like for work. Anyone who has been preggo before got any recommendations for smart work wear?

Forgot to say 13 today. Time is flying!

Morning ladies, I just got a phone call from the place where I had the nuchal scan and quad test on Saturday, I've odds of 1:50,000 so really quite happy with that, however I have tested positive for height risk of pre eclampsia, as I had a notch on both uterine arteries, (whatever that means) so they have booked me in for a growth scan in December where they can check my arteries again to see if it has got better or worse.

I will have a chat with the consultant when I eventually get to see him.
Good luck to everyone who has scans today. Can't wait to hear everyone's experiences x

Oops forgot 13+5

Whee, got my scan appointment letter yesterday - 17th October, the same day we go on holiday with a bunch of friends. It will be so nice to be able to be up-front with them all and hopefully to share the good news. Of course if it doesn't go well we might not be going, but in that case I suppose it would be a crap week whatever happened...
Very excited by all your scan reports, keep 'em coming please ladies!

Woo hoo, I'm really pregnant!! And they confirmed me as 7th April, 4 days further along than first thought and only 2 days after my 30th, will be one I won't forget!
