May 2013 Third Thread.

[SecretCervix]

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

Mmmm that raspberry beer sounds lovely!

I'm puking loads more that normal how do I know if its ms or if I actually have a bug?

12 weeks today! Hooray!

littlepickle if you are worried about your ms ring your MWs, they won't mind? can you keep stuff down or do you feel overly weak? :)

so funny to read about a few of you all of a sudden getting bumps as that happened to me this morning! I have a really lovely neat little bump and am completely in love with it :) I am sure it will go tomorrow. is much different and nicer than my 'bloat bump' at 5/6 weeks [hgrin]

internal scan at 12 week scan seems a bit [hhmm]! super thorough!

little bizarrely positioned smiley face at end of para to you, sorry!

oh feck - 10+4 :)

Yes I can keep things down (though breakfast isn't making it!) don't feel too weak so I think it probably is just ms. So weird it's getting so my worse - 2nd trimester tomorrow, full of promise!

12+6

Hope you guys feel better soon little and 10* -sure you will being so close to 2nd trimester now.

I had mad day yesterday, more energy then I've had in weeks, so like a mental person did all the jobs I've been itching to do, cleaned the house, washing, sorting out...wow, I'm regretting today. Can barely lift my head. Lesson learnt..when the energy comes, steady as she goes! These sharp stitch like pains are still hanging about too, read online it's ligaments stretching which when I think about it too much brings on the nausea!

11+5

oooh envious of all you with proper bumps - mine is just bloaty baby at the moment that grows amazingly quickly as the day goes on! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXHAUSTED TODAY ... cannot concentrate at work between feeling tired and trying not to throw up at my desk - dreaming of lying on the sofa under a blanket! We have a quiet room at work for expectant mothers - however havent annonced yet so cant really slope off there yet grrrrrr [hsad]

A quiet room at work, I'd love that although if we had one in my office we'd probably have a lot more women getting pregnant! I have the day off for the scan in 13 days (not that I'm counting) but I'm looking forward to a lie-in as much as the scan as I have early starts including weekends every day until then

10 + 0

Ohh EllieB I'm also 10+0 today and have my scan in 13 days yay!

littlepickle if you feel weak it certainly can be ms! i was asking to see if you thought you might need to see the dr or could just struggle on. You poor thing, hope it eases soon.

pickle I felt good yesterday too! didn't let myself do much though as am really lazy as thought it might end up catching up with me today. it is sooo weird how that happens in pg.

moo that room must be like torture knowing it is there!

my scan is in 2 weeks, I'll be 12+4! aaaages away.

am home with toddler DS today unexpectedly and he is sooo tired and grumpy and is just completely exhausting me! oof.

10+4

Had the scan today and was so great to see baby with a strong lil hearbeat.Im only 11 weeks so we have another scan next thursday.

Im off to update the stats list.So excited.

11+0

Congratulations beaut! And you get another scan next week! Great news.

wilde yes pregnancy is so weird, I was lured into thinking my need-to-nest urge had arrived early. I think that when it arrives again I will give it a couple of days just to make sure it's to stay! Hope DS has an early night tonight!

Wahoo! No midwife appointment yet but I've got my scan date! It's on my fiances birthday! Just hope it good news! Only 2 weeks to wait :-)

Scan day today!! Was fab - heartbeat fluttering away, and baby moving around and waving to me, it was magic!! Dated me at 12+2, so I'm 5 days ahead of where I thought, due date is now 7th May - Yay!!! Will update stats list too!!!

Woohoo for everyone elses scan dates through!!

beaut that's lovely news. I was the same - was dated earlier than I thought. I'm 11+1 today, so we're still nearly the same date, which is nice!

Weirdly, like lots of others have said, I feel strangely energetic at the moment and haven't thrown up (retching aside, that's a given) for a few days. Don't want to tempt fate and assume I'm out of the woods as so many of you have said it ramps up again at 12 weeks! But enjoying it.

I even cooked a veggie lasagne last night after work and ate nearly half of it . I also ate curly fries from the canteen for breakfast....and of a halloumi and roasted veg sandwich at lunch i picked off and ate the halloumi, ignored the veg and side salad, and scoffed the chips it came with.

Learning to embrace the potato in all its fine forms.

I love this thread right now, btw - so upbeat and happy and I'm so thrilled for us all xx

beaver Wow can't believe we were dated still pretty much the same date.Do you have to go back as well for the nuchal scan?

I'm not sure how my dates work.My last period was definitely the 3rd August but it was a breakthrough bleed from ending my pill packet.So presuming thats why.

DP has been in a great mood all day think it all feels real for him now.We decided to tell the boys today as everyone will be talking about it.They are so happy.Ds1 (autistic) said right mum thats 9 months when is that then.Bless him.

Sooo lovely to read all about your scan results and how lovely to tell dc(can't wait to tell mine)... For those potato cravers out there I've now added potato waffles and potato pancakes to my mashed and roast potato diet! Yum!!

beaut yes, I do. Next Friday, when I'll be 12+3. Actually quite pleased - will be so nice to see bub again and be able to track how much it's grown.

I have NO idea how my dates work. LMP was DEF 27 July, but I have a long (35 days +) cycle so must have taken a while...

Hi everyone, so excting to hear all about your scans and appearing bumps

I threw up for the first time yesterday, still having plenty of nausea too. Empathise with the not being able to concentrate at work MooLL - I'm so grateful for flexitime and went home early today after feeling rough and doing virtually nothing all day!

Saw the midwife yesterday and looking forward to getting my scan date in the post!

9+3

Hi everyone, lots has happened to us all in a couple of days! Thank you roast, Ellie and pickle for your good scan wishes.
It was awesome, like a few of you have said seeing such a wriggly little thing inside you is fantastic and so reassuring.
little are you at Kings hospital? I only ask as they gave me the internal scan too & said its policy to offer it, like you said to check the length of the cervix. Apparently it helps them identify if you're at risk of giving birth per term. My morning sickness has been worse this week too, not that it's eve really been too bad so I shouldn't really complain.
I've been dated as earlier than I thought so I'm 12 weeks today, not last Saturday, and due May 10th. Took 2 midwives to get all the measurements they needed as it was refusing to lie as they needed it and just as they thought they had a measurement it would jump! It seemed almost to give it a cheeky character!
Randomly though, the new dates mean we conceived whilst at the Olympic stadium watching the athletics! Neither dh nor I remember that featuring on the track & field!! So maybe that's not quite right either.
MooLL where on earth do you work? How wonderful to have that room! Bet it's tempting to tell everyone early though isn't it. I'm going to get one of those 'baby on board' badges for the tube. Hadn't wanted to wear one until my scan. Could really have done with it though.
Happy weekend everyone, and to those fellow teachers - we've made it to half term! (nearly, in a few hours!)

Morning all! Haven't thrown up yet today which is progress

Yes twinkle, I am at kings. Was at a different hospital last time which didn't offer it. Are you there this time as well? I'm impressed with the 32 week scan as didn't have that previously either.

Looks like everyone else can rest easy knowing they won't suddenly be presented with a probe!!

Sorry I mean twinkling

And sorry I'm being really dim, you just said you were at kings... I'm blaming baby brain...
