Been out of the loop for a few days but very late welcome to snowdrop and wishing you all the best for your scan tomorrow x

Sorry to hear so many of you are suffering with your preg symptoms.

Cheese thanks for the advice, just been to the hospital to start my injections and they've booked me in for both an 8 week and my 12 week scans. Only 3 weeks to wait! Also got my booking appt on the 15th April. Glad to hear you're scan went well today - exciting twin news, congrats!

Mumma my back is aching as well but I think it's related to my last pregnancy - chuckling at your aversion to chocolate especially as I can't stop eating choc orange!

MTB oz is fabulous - hope you have a great time and glad to hear you're getting your appts sorted x

Gin I know others have provided lots of advice. I also googled all the local hospitals for reviews of patient care and got advice from NCT but normally you don't have to make a firm decision on hospital/home until much later on in your pregnancy. Although our DS was stillborn, I was able to use the hospital's waterbirth facilities and would recommend it. Glad to hear you got such a great reaction from your parents.

GetOff love your thinking that 2 people need double the sleep :-)

WhenSheWas good luck with your scan tomorrow

Welcome and congrats to Idrather, Dreams, ilovemilton and poppyseed. Really exciting to see so many of us :-D

Fairy wishing you lots of luck with your checkup tomorrow

Think my stats were missing so - Edd 14th Nov. Baby no2

Hi, welcome and congratulations to the new guys!! Wow there are so many of us now Smile

Dizzy I could eat all day long! Then all of a sudden early evening I feel so full and bloated.

Ditty you first of all made me laugh out loud then made me boak at the thought of you eating soap powder!!!! When I was pregnant with dd I used to feel so sick if I could smell soap powder especially arial! The thought of you eating it....yuk!!! So funny though Grin

No morning sickness for me. Just an intense feeling of nausea at some points but I seem able, most of the time, to eat my way through it, isn't that weird? Salty crisps are amazing when I feel sick. As are avocados with salt on them - have just had one for my supper mmmmmm Grin

Did i really say I'm not as tired? Well I take it back - as soon as I got to early evening I could have gone to bed and sleep all night! Feel like I am quite irritable too but of course I am trying hard not to be like that with dd who is just brilliant. It's just us all week which is nice but I can't wait until my dh comes home on Friday night. Can't wait for my Saturday morning long lie! Dd is just fab though, so cuddly - i did think about letting her sleep in with me this week while dh is away but I know that it will cause problems and its not fair for her, although I would have liked a snuggle!

Hope everyone is ok - snow hope you are ok, have been thinking about you x

harverina · 13/03/2013 23:44

Misty - are you the same misty from the April 2010 thread? Just thought is ask...

honey86 · 14/03/2013 00:05

snowdrop all the best for your scan in the morning... got everything crossed for you hun x

i cant believe you ladies have filled up this thread 1/10 of the way already in one day!! you chatterboxes lol Grin

getoffthecoffeetable · 14/03/2013 02:30

Grrr, can't sleep. Can't blame it on DS as he's fast asleep and even DH isn't snoring. Am too hot (even though turned heating off in our room hours ago ). Will be even more exhausted tomorrow if I can't get some shut eye and I already spend the days yawning away!
My bloat has gone down loads which is good. Was starting to worry about what size I'd be.
Still not heard from MW so no exciting scan news for me. My MW was useless last time, very glad I was consultant led. Am getting frustrated by it. Might have to phone and chase up tomorrow if I don't hear anything.
MWs at birth of DS were all amazing though
ditty can't believe you've been eating soap, had heard about it being a pregnancy symptom but never known anyone who's had it funny that your DH has now banned it from the house - do you have a secret stash that you 'll confess to?
Good luck with your scan. snow and when and your appointment fairy thinking of you all.

ncsmummy · 14/03/2013 06:11

Hi all! Thought I would come and join up here!!! According to my dates I am now 5 weeks pg Grin Edd 14th November. Spoke to the docs and I have got to see the mw on 9th April but they cant book me for that yet so got to call back at the end of the month!
Despite feeling sick, dizzy, achy, piling on the weight and getting 2 BFP I just cant believe it!!!!

Welcome and congratulations NCS. We're all POAS addicts here so wouldn't judge if you had to do more tests to convince yourself!

Dizzy81 · 14/03/2013 06:34

Snow drop, hope all goes well with your scan.

Getoff, I'm glad it's not just me that can't sleep, sleeping in my sides hurting the boobies.

Welcome ncs,

RubyWindsor · 14/03/2013 06:45

Snowdrop, hope everything goes well with your scan today x

Theicingontop · 14/03/2013 06:55

The sickness I had last night turned out to be an all-night stomach flu, kindly donated by OH who works with a woman who's recently had it (he's now himself on the toilet). Feeling very dehydrated and weak, and this morning after a few hours sleep I've woken up with terrible lower abdominal pains. Hoping it's from the constant retching that's pulled a muscle and nothing serious. Taking sips of water but keeping nothing down so far. Sad

On a positive note, morning sickness may not have started in earnest after all. Maybe.

Good luck Snowdrop.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 14/03/2013 07:04

poppy big congrats on your pregnancy. I'm so happy you got your BFP after waiting so long.

ncs congrats as well and thanks for updating the list.

dizzy soap, urgh. At least you feel pregnant now though Grin

snow thinking of you today.

MotherOfCleo · 14/03/2013 07:09

I am so bloody tired but my OH is jetlagged and keeps getting up, and therefore waking me up at 5.30......grrrrr! Sad

Dizzy81 · 14/03/2013 07:21

Icing, you poor thing. If you still feel rough please call your gp.

CheeseandGherkins · 14/03/2013 07:25

Morning all, I've been up since just before 6 this morning as I was so tired that I went to bed with dd3 at 7.45! I do feel really refreshed though even after waking up to feed her about 4 times overnight.

Still no sickness and I'm starving, had a tea and need food soon. Little nervous about tomorrow morning's bloodtest but at least I'll know the results by the afternoon.

Thanks for the congratulations, hoping they stick.

Misty I'd been saying to my dh that it could be twins too and his face when the scanning lady said she could see two! Pregnancy hormones usually have me all over the place so I imagine you could be affected by that too.

Mumma Sorry you're feeling sick, I've not had any yet, a touch of nausea but I think that's my need for food right now. I am a little phobic of being sick so am hoping it stays away again, have a feeling it may not though.

getoff me too, I'm not usually someone that cries in front of people but I've been having to hold it in already. Hormones have a lot to answer for!

harverina how lovely that you can feel baby already, you could be more sensitive after already having felt it before?

Dreams welcome :)

ilovemilton welcome :)

Fairy lovely news about your friend's baby, glad all was well. Headaches have always been a good sign for me in early pregnancy, it's my one symptom (and tiredness) that signals a pregnancy. Brown blood doesn't mean bad though, hoping everything goes well for you.

suffolk hope you're feeling better now, when is your scan?

Ditty I used to eat ice a lot but I think that was from my low iron! Soap? Are you craving anything different yet?

Poppy welcome and hello :) Good luck for your scan.

Purple Hope the 3 weeks fly by for you, I find waiting so hard. How are you feeling now?

Snowdrop good luck for your scan today, keeping my fingers crossed for you.

nscmummy welcome :)

theicing oh no, horrible being ill especially when you're pregnant. Rest as much as you can and lots of water.

Saundy · 14/03/2013 07:28

Room for another?!

My EDD is 8/11/13 & I'm a first timer.

Not much symptom wise apart from bring a bit bloated, tired & the general something's going on down there aches. Oh & the most crippling trapped wind pains Blush on a daily basis, thank God for Rennies!!

I was starting to think I was the only person who knew this early but there's loads of you here!

getoffthecoffeetable · 14/03/2013 07:48

Hi saundy and poppy, welcome.
icing try and keep hydrated. I think you should phone NHS Direct to see what they recommend. Are we allowed diaralyte? Might be worth checking.
cheese I couldn't decide if I was hungry last night and that was what was keeping me awake. Have had a couple of slices of toast and am still hungry.

Fairydogmother · 14/03/2013 07:55

Hi saundy! Congrats

I think I have a UTI - what a lovely way to start the morning. Feel crap, peeing ALL the time but not emptying everything out and a bit sore. Does the nurse test the sample or does it have to go away? I just want to get back into bed and I have to go to work after the doctors! Sad

My friend txtd me at 1am to say she'd had to have an emergency c section under anaesthetic bless her. So her birth plan went straight out the window! But I'm just so thankful both are ok. Can't wait to go and visit!

Fairydogmother · 14/03/2013 07:56

O and hi to poppy too!

Saundy · 14/03/2013 08:00

Oh that's horrible Fairy, I went to the drop in centre with my pains the other day any they just took a sample & tested it straight away.

They hadn't told me why they wanted it (I didnt make the connection between pains & an infection) so she came back & said I've tested your urine & it's negative - I thought she meant for pregnancy!!

Hope your feeling better soon.

Fairydogmother · 14/03/2013 08:01

Would be good if she could tell me straightaway what's up! Haven't even got a flipping nurses appt as the Gp said to call in so what's the bet I have a row with the receptionist!

Saundy · 14/03/2013 08:04

They must know better than to mess with pregnant women!

I'm trying to get an emergency appt today too, DP is convinced my pains need checking out. So it'll be waiting room stress for the two of I think!

Saundy · 14/03/2013 08:06

*2 of us

Fairydogmother · 14/03/2013 08:06

I hate going to the Gp! And I seem to never be away these days! It's my 4th trip in 2 weeks ffs lol

Saundy · 14/03/2013 08:11

Nightmare, have you got someone to go with you?

Just realised we're due the same day! I'm surprised there's not more with the Valentines connection.

Where are you up to symptom-wise? Sorry if I'm asking you to repeat yourself it's hard to remember what was who in the prev posts.
