May 2013 Third Thread.

[SecretCervix]

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

RT I've heard of it and was offered it this time (feral medical centre) but decided against it .... For no good reason bar wanting the experience to be the same as the last time (creature of habit)! Just going to go with the regular one like last time ... Is fascinating to read about it though ESP as they are expecting the nhs to pick it up in the next 5 years. Be interested to hear how it goes...

Don't seem to be feeling as sick today and not quite so tired ... Trying not to get too excited that I may be getting better (have a week long trip in dec to ny with DH and no dd1 so Really want to be back feeling human again before that)!

Oops that was meant to say fetal not feral - stupid texting!!!

Can I join your group? I'm due on 6th May.

rachy I cried when I had my scan last week. I was fully expecting them to find nothing and to be told it was all a figment of my imagination. Instead they found a tiny little baby who spent the entire time using my insides as a trampoline :o

Snap Moo, I too am at Feral Medicine Centre (love that new name) in fact I'm in the waiting room right now feeling dick and nervous and bursting for the loo!

Noooo, another typo! I am not "feeling dick" that would be quite wrong in a medical waiting room! I'm just feeling sick. Like I do everyday. All day.

Hello Smoky, Boola and Flamin - welcome to the thread and congratulations!

We have a separate stats thread on the Antenatal Clubs board, called something imaginative like 'May 2013 stats'. If you go on there, scroll down to the last set of stats, copy and paste them into a new post with your stats added that's the best way to join in.

I have had my bro-in-law and his mad girlfriend staying this weekend, so it's been a bit full-on. They decided to stay an extra night and of course we had to say it was fine, even though DH is full of a streaming cold and I just felt knackered and wanted to snuggle down for a night of home-made pie and mash and Homeland.

Feeling a bit perkier this morning - have already scrubbed everything clean and fixed a washing machine leak (polishes halo).

RT am soooo with you on the all-day nausea, although it's starting to lift a bit. Could be just temporary, though - had a major proper ol' vomit as I was leaving work at 9pm on Sat night.

Anyone else find it's liquids that make them want to be sick rather than food? I literally have to force water down....

I've given up water beaver and gone over to strawberry and watermelon squash instead. I normally can't stand squash but apparantly baby likes it.

Hello,

Back from a mini breaklet in Belgium! It was lovely much lazy ambling and sitting in cafes not drinking coffee, but luckily they pretty much all universally do fresh mint tea which is about the only nice hot drink at the moment.

Managed to get thru the whole weekend without Having a quease either. Which was wonderful! Although not being able to all the lovely Belgium food! Turned down so many nice things!

However - Woke up Sunday feeling so much better than I have weeks still tired but not pie-eyed and spaced as I have done for the last six weeks. Almost a bit scary [hhmm] then I was reading on Emma's diary that placenta kits in blah blah. Have had no other symptoms so I presume everything is okay....

Only a 8 days to scan and now at 11+1 whooo

kittykat sounds like you had a good break! I was fine over the weekend and now I have a overwhelming tiredness that hit me this morning, I don't like the taste of anything but can keep everything down and constipation is back with revengence :-( I was wondering if this had something to do with moving into 11 weeks tmz and the placenta kicking in? Anyone know?

10+6

Oooooh 9 days until my scan...that cheers me up a little :-)

Oh another panda

glad you had a nice break kitty. am 11+1 too and have been feeling much better for a few days now :) nausea practically gone (tho swings by periodically) and tiredness much more manageable but the best thing is being able to think again! still super hungry tho, food faddy and have generally low energy levels. and reaallllly thirsty!

glad a few of us are feeling the same :)

That should have been 'placenta kicks in' stoooopid iPhone and brain!

wilde, 10 and pear it was! If only I did not have go back to work tomorrow and having to work Saturday too!

kitty when does the placenta kick in? 11 weeks?

God I wish this stupid morning sickness would clear up like some of you guys - it's getting worse not better. I threw up three times yesterday! Although we have all been ill and DD up a fair bit at night, tiredness does make it worse so perhaps that's why

I thought I read somewhere that the placenta starts to work around week 8 or 9 but fully takes over by week 12 hence I think tentatively that's why at least sme of us are beginning to feel better relative to where we have been ( if it helps anyone one on DC1, you totally forget about how rough this stage was, certainly I had totally forgotten ... And will be be only too happy to forget again!)

RT ok you win on the typos - lol! The good thing about the FMC is Marylebone high st is just around the corner for baby thing buying post scan :-) defo will be doing that again if DH makes the call to find out te sex ( currently about 80% sure he will) yay!!

I can't believe that you can find out the sex so early!

We aren't going to find out intentionally - if we do happen to find out accidently in later scans, then that's fine, but we aren't going to ask.

12+6 - am finally in maternity trousers today - feel sooo comfy!!! Ordered some jeans and a jumper from New look this weekend, but I want a couple of shortish (just above knee sort of length) skirts that I can wear with boots & thick tights - has anyone seen any anywhere?

Ellypoo - ASOS have some maternity pencil skirts

elly there s a black tube skirt in whistles with elasticated waist that I've just bought - not maternity but should work and means you can wear it after .. If not I know jojomamabebe does one and Isabella Oliver has a couple of on the knee ones. I lived in her a-line hipster skirt last time. So far I've treated myself to a pair of j brand maternity skinnies and just put a shopping list of tops for work from Isabella Oliver but the total is quite eye watering so may need to rethink!

Ooh-err what went on here this weekend! Rather than bringing anything back up as it seems it's all sorted I shall say a big thank you to everyone who gave me advice and information on my worries with bfing DS right now. Thank you! :)

I had such a hectic weekend. Was my parents ruby wedding anniversary and my sister and I organised a lovely family do for them. But it has knackered me out. We were busy sorting things on the Saturday and the yesterday was the meal and I was asleep before 9pm last night! Got to show off the scan pics to everyone though so that was nice. Not so nice is wondering whether our brother is going to cough up his share of it all. He didn't even mention the money side of it. Just turned up 5 mins before our parents did and left when they did. Hmmm, he better as his share is about £100...

Good luck to all the scans happening this week!

And hello and welcome to the newbies!

Flamin are you sure you're not 13 weeks today? I'm due 7th May (a Tuesday) and I'm 12+6 today

Don't know. All these date thingies are confusing me. I had my scan last Wednesday and the dr said due date 6th May, currently 12+1. I was working from that.

I'm also due 7th May flaming and am 12+6 today - sounds like you are 13+0 today - yay!!!
