Will this one take us through to the end of the first trimester? Will the sickness ever end? Will we be able to judge genders from those first scan pictures? These and many other mysteries to be solved in... THREAD 4

Is it wrong that I can't wait to have this baby so that I have pram handles to hang my shopping from once again?

I need burping tonight - after toast, 2 sandwiches, orange juice, Ribena, Haribos, more chocolate than I care to recall and pasta, I'm about to burst!

Had loads of work to get done by first thing tomorrow. Started off well after lunch then became really tired. Thought having a nap might help but my nap lasted 4.5 hours! I'm now trying to get everything done and I'm already tired again. Before I got pg, naps would mean I could work into the early hours...not anymore! DH has just gone up to bed and I just want to go up with him. Feel so sorry for myself!

Sal good to hear you had a sympathetic doc. how are you feeling? Has the bleed let up a bit?

9+3 today. my scan letter came through--April 13th (a Saturday) but I'm away that weekend so going to phone this morning to see if we can rearrange. If it's going to be much later than that I'm going to book a private scan.

I'm going to tell one of my 'bosses' today. We've known each other for a long time and it won't effect our study too much, so feeling relaxed about sharing. Waiting for my scan to face my main boss.Good luck telling your head today, pinkmoonlight.

Very impressed with people studying at the moment. OU is nice and flexible but also tough going!

Have a good day all.

JethroTull · 25/03/2013 07:21

Scan day today. Been dreaming about the guy from Homeland being the doctor!!

Sal hope you're ok?

Natalieand · 25/03/2013 07:48

Good luck today jethro xx

How are things today sal? Xx

How is everyone's nose everything I blow y nose it's just blood. No actual nose bleeds when it drips from my nose but bright res when I blow. Although I shouldn't really moan cos if I remember of grill it is a preg symptom? And I've been panicking I have no symptoms lol xxx

Natalieand · 25/03/2013 07:49

I really should proof read my messages! I meant to say 'if I remember rightly' not 'if I remember grill'' lol xxx

ananikifo · 25/03/2013 08:14

Nosebleeds are indeed a symptom. I've had them but only a few times.

PseudoBadger · 25/03/2013 08:19

Yes I've had a nose bleed this morning, lovely!

Natalieand · 25/03/2013 08:20

Woohoo who would think u would be celebrating a nose bleed hey? Haha. 9 days and I will officially be 12 weeks an have my scan. This is gonna be a long 9 days lol xxx

pinksky · 25/03/2013 08:24

Hope you have a great scan, Jethro!

Tarlia · 25/03/2013 08:41

Good luck with the Monday scans, ladies. Can't wait to hear your news!

Nat Inlaws suck for the most part, yours sounds like she fits that catagory. I cannot believe her and your OH allowed an 11 year old to do that to you and their grand/child! I would be livid with him too if I'm honest as even if 'you are an adult and can protect yourself' if their duty of care to protect their child/grandchild from verbal abuse! Hope she wasn't scared :(

Haylebop12 · 25/03/2013 08:55

MoN I cannae wait to hang my shopping bags again! Now dd is 4 and we had to go Xmas shopping without her I realised its a bloody nightmare! I kept her stroller until she was 3.10!!

jethro good luck today!

sal how are you feeling today?

11+1 here and 12w in sight!! Managed the early school run all by myself today so def a sign things are getting better. Still not 100% but I'm pleased I'm almost there. Going to potter about the house unpacking boxes, after some marmite on toast first :-) oh and attempt to dig my car out. The snow has been awful here and I haven't moved it since Thursday.

HotSoupDumpling · 25/03/2013 09:02

Good luck to those with scans today!

Natalie, your MiL story leaves me fuming. As does anyone's stories about people not being able to keep secrets. Grah!

SeriousStuff · 25/03/2013 10:16

Good luck everyone with scans today!! Exciting stuff!

I finally have my MW appointment tomorrow then have my 'call-back' scan on the 9th. Anyone else scanning that day?

pinksky · 25/03/2013 10:21

I have just managed to change my scan to 7.40pm on Tuesday 9th. So so chuffed! I go away with work the next day for nearly 2 weeks, so perfect timing.

Lots of scans this week, can't wait to hear people's news/see pics.

Lucky you roofio with kiddicare store opening--there are none in the south west. I'm at a conference in Loughborough in June, so might stay an extra night and check out the Nottingham one. Let me know if you think it's worth a special journey!

doobeedee · 25/03/2013 10:24

Just had scan. All ok. Been put forward 5 days so EDD now Sept 30th.

pinksky · 25/03/2013 10:27
