May 2013 Third Thread.

[SecretCervix]

Sorry for the not very imaginative title. Noticed old thread was full and couldn't find a new one.

Morning. I'm so pleased to be 10 weeks now I can't imagine how excited I will be once I get to the magic 12 weeks amd finally have my scan.
I've told my bosses I'm pregnant, they all took it well and are really pleased for me. They are happy for me to work as long as possible whatever suits me best, it's taken a great weight off my mind.

MS is just as bad I thought it would start easing by now!

10+1

terror good luck for your scan! I hope you are ok and get through it all just fine :)

little I felt ok at 9 weeks but this week have felt shocking again! I read last night that from 10-12 weeks the baby doubles in size from 3-6cm (minimum) so reckon that's probably why... Also I think week 10 is when the placenta starts kicking in so you have a double whammy of hormones for a while.

Glad work were cool.

Am not sure about telling mine, I don't like to talk to my boss about it because it is like am saying 'wooo I have had LOADS of sex!' My boss (actually my uni supervisor) is like a grandad figure to me [hgrin] which is lovely and I just love him but it does make this kind of thing a bit awkward [hgrin]

good luck for scans today and congrats on all the successful scans over the past couple of days. lovely news :)

Just back from my first midwife appt, I knew it was just going to be a form filling exercise and bloods but all the same feels quite exciting to be in the system officially. Now just have to wait for my 12 week scan date, so jealous of everyone who's had their scan already!!

sorry forgot to add: 10+3

Hi everyone, checking in!! Not been on here for ages as my laptop has been broken!! So here's an update!
Had terrible all freaking day morning sickness from 6 weeks til 9 weeks, and thankfully it has now subsided to a mere queasiness for now - working at Greggs was NOT fun having bad sickness!! I am 10 weeks today! Very excited for my first scan which is booked for 6th Nov - less than 2 weeks eeeeek!! Can't wait to announce it after the scan! Got my driving theory test booked for the 7th Nov, so hopefully will have my driving test passed before the baby arrives!

When did you all have your appointments with the midwife? I'm 9+5 and haven't heard anything yet x

bunny I'm 10 weeks today (woo!) and am meeting my midwife next Thursday for the first time, but it's just for a quick chat with the midwife at my local gp surgery. I'm still waiting to hear from the midwife from the hospital about a booking in appointment and a date for my scan.

I'm 9+5 and just had my booking in appointment today, I'd phone up to chase it up if I were you bunny

I had my booking appointment at just under 5 weeks, she booked me in for my 12 week scan then and there. I rang the doctors, they gave me the number for the midwife, I left a message and she rang me back within a few days. Then I had my appointment and well here we are! Not given bloods or anything yet though, I'm waiting for her to contact me about that appointment.

Phew.

Scan all done and everything so far is fine :) I cried when we saw the heartbeat. Baby would not stop moving, was flipping this way and that. Took longer to get measurements because of that. Got some lovely scan pics, one of which was from when the baby flipped over and is from underneath as if looking up at a bum and a pair of legs and that's all! If that makes sense?

Now 12+1, so only a day out from what had been estimated before. Will update stats thread in a bit.

Told my older DCs and there were really excited. Started to cry again telling them. Bloody hormones! Think it's the relief I'm feeling that keeps doing it.

Just got family to tell later now. Then I'm going to bed exhausted and by god I'd better have a good sleep tonight!

Hope you're all doing ok today :)

well done terror! yay!

bunny I would chase them up. I think they like to do it around 8 weeks so you might have been overlooked! I had mine last week, at 9 weeks pg.

Kittykatmacbill and hopeful we have our scans the same day

11+5

Just in from private 9 weeks scan- all good. HB 174 and sizes perfectly to my expected dates- 28 may x

Lovely to see all the scan news rolling in!

Beautician congrats on setting a date

Very strange today, have literally developed a bump overnight. Yesterday, jeans etc all fine. Today I can't do anything up and look about 5 months pregnant!

Berri Im with you on the bump.I have a definite bump now.I presume im showing so early as its my third and my muscles are already shot.

I am feeling really uncomfortable in the evenings anyone else.Just a strange heavy dont know what do do with myself feeling.I wonder if im more aware this time as with the ds's i was too busy being sick all the time.

Berri, I was like that yesterday! I woke up, couldn't do my trousers up, looked down and had a bump. Today everything's gone back to normal! [hgrin]

Hi, it was me that had the (unexpected) internal scan! It was to check the length of the cervix to predict if a premature birth is likely. I'm not high risk or anything so not sure why, but they do seem to have extra scans at my hospital (one at 32 weeks which I'm pleased about). Think it's just standard here.

Didn't want to worry anyone; I think it's unlikely, but they didn't warn me before it happened so you never know!

Good to hear about all the lovely scans, and good luck to those still waiting

Oh and my ms seems to be getting worse mot better threw up twice at work this morning, thankfully no one else was in at the point. When will it get better?!

12+5

hopeful my mum worked in Greggs when she was pregnant with me and had very serve hypermisser! She's was just going on about how awful it was recently, it was almost 28 years ago, mentally scared!

littlepicklehead what a bizarre reason to scan if no previous problems!

So pleased everyone is getting good scan news.

I'm a bit worried got a weird nervey pain going along my pelvis. It's just suddenly came on in the last 48 hours but it's really disturbing my sleep and general comfort.

wild lol it was a bit odd bit like saying I've been shagging loads, not helped by one of the dad bosses asking how long it took...

3rd ooh good to think that someone else is counting down as enthusastically as me to the same day. Mine is at 1350, i asked for as late as possible as some how I can't imagine successfully going back to work. [hgrin]

I too am suffering from 'my tum gone huge issues', aJnd although I have bought a pair of fat pants (actually there not bad at all h&m mama - they look normal). I can't quite get my head round wearing them per scan. Issue has come to a head as we are for a long planned city break to Belgium (the 'land of in edible yummyness' as I am calling it) and therefore can't spend 2/3 of the weekend in my pjs. What do I do?[hconfused]

Hi everyone! , love following all the chats although I am only contributing occasionally.
Little one of the (male) directors at my work said "We know what you've been up to" loudly in our open plan office when I told work I was pregnant, Euuww!!
Kittykat I am heading to Belgium as well for a work trip. There had been talk of a Belgian beer tour, sigh...I am stocking up on Belgian chocolates though dammit!
Pedantic congrats on the proposal, that's double the exciting things to plan for now.
Hope everyone else is doing ok despite the ms etc.. Mine seems to be manageable although some days it is worse than others. I am getting pampered at a spa tomorrow with my close friend who is visiting me from Aus. Cannot wait! Will tell them I am pregnant but hopefully won't affect the mani and pedi I have planned
My scan is 6/11.
10+5

Kittykatmacbill, mine is even the same time, have already had the date for a month, seems to be dragging on forever.....

Babygeek there's a lovely alcohol-free Hoegaarden raspberry beer over here (the alcoholic one is only 2% anyway). Don't forget the stoopwafels, gaufres, frites & moules either.
