thanks pinksy thread number 5

Happy Easter everyone
Sorry I've not been posting much, been Crazy busy at work!
I'm getting so impatient for my scan now. I've got to wait until 10th April
In 3 weeks me and DH are flying out to Sorrento, Italy, for 10 days (belated honeymoon from our wedding last August) and its just dawned on me that we're going all inclusive and I won't be able to take advantage of the unlimited booze sob I wonder if they let me fill an empty suitcase with local wine to bring home ready for after baby's here
How's everyone doing symptom wise?? My sickness has eased but still getting nauseous from time to time. My boobs are growing at an alarming rate and my nipples are really sensitive and sore!! I had a scary time last week when I had pretty much constant cramping and stabbing pains for 5 days, but luckily no bleeding.
Sorry for long post but thought I better check in xx

Number five! What motor mouths

Good work blondies, so satisfying car booting (except for the vultures that go through your stuff as you unpack)

Favellio I remember you mentioning your belated honeymoon. Sure you'll have a fab time but I understand your pain not getting to enjoy the booze. Great that you'll scan before you go. Me and a few others have 9th April scans.

Also had a crazy month and not had anytime to post. Moved house as well so had no internet for a few weeks. Got a spare room now to later become the nursery

My due date is not until 26th October so no scan here until 16th April which seems ages away but I will be 12+2 so is on time. Anyone else scanning this late?

Had a couple of worrying few weeks, had some brown discharge/brown spotting on two occasions but after having a panic I spoke to the midwife who calmed me down. Said to try not to worry unless it is heavy or red or getting painful cramps with it which I haven't. Luckily both times it cleared up within an hour or two. Can't wait until the scan so that I can be reassured that baby is still in there.

Marking place, will catch up later :-)

Happy Easter to all x

I feel your pain favellio. I'm on an all inclusive hol in tenerife right now. OH making up for me not drinking unfortunately! At least you can have lots of nice food!

fish my ds 1's birthday is the 26th

thanks for asking pinksky! I actually feel a lot better the last few days,only feel sick if I get hungry so I'm trying to avoid that! Energy levels are slightly improved (thank god as I'm hammering through a customer's ironing this afternoon/evening that usually takes me 3 evenings but haven't had time to do it due to work & then I had Friday night off but just had to go to bed once my son was asleep),am now exhausted with half of it still to do. I think I will have a lot more this week too & work have changed my shifts to tue,wed,Thu nights so that I don't have to do the weekend ones as they were getting fed up with me spending an hour vomming after 11.30pm! Fair enough! Should make scheduling my own business requirements a bit easier...

fish - I'm having my scan on Wednesday,I think I'll be 12+ 3 or 4. Not entirely sure! I already feel as though I've been pregnant forever,but I think that's because I knew before I got a positive & then felt grim for so long.

My sister is here for dinner,just gone to pick up a Chinese takeaway ( I wanted to make shepherds pie but dp wanted Chinese...) I'm having a couple of starters as that's what took my fancy. Hope it's here soon,am just realising I'm getting starving!

how's everyone else doing?

Doobeedee- lucky you! I wish I was on holiday right now. Hope you're having a lovely time? I'm bloody freezing! Can you send some sun towards Essex please? I'm also pretty sure my DH will drink my fill of the all inclusive alcohol too lol I may have to have the odd cheeky sip of the local stuff to say i tried it but certainty won't be having a glassful or anything like that! Definitely looking forward to the food.....especially the Italian Gelato ice cream (my current craving!) I couldn't believe it when my midwife told me I wasn't allowed to eat Mr Whippy ice cream over the summer

Thanks for new thread. Whoever is scanning on the 10th April me too...seems ages to wait I will be nearly 13 weeks then. Roll on next week.
Have a lovely Easter all xx

Thanks for the new thread.

Just when I thought I'd got over the constant tiredness I've spent the afternoon asleep on the sofa. Not feeling sick much now but that might be because I have toothache and earache so need to book in at a dentist sooner rather than later (I hate hate hate the dentist but it would be daft not to take advantage of free treatment).

I've decided I need to stop googling things as I'm sending myself into a panic over stupid things that I have absolutely no reason to worry about.

fish I'm being scanned on April 15th when I will be 12 weeks exactly. So I'm late with you :(

Hi fish- I'm due on the 25th and my scan is Fri 12th April! I think we're going to be the last few on here to have a scan

Hello ladies, just heading home from a big family lunch with a giant bag of chocolate [bugrin].

I'll be 13 weeks on my scan, it does feel late but still within time for nuchal fold scan, so I can't really object. My sister told everyone about being pg today, we are due 3 weeks apart, both first dcs. Everyone was really happy for us both - our babes will be cousin twins. Hope you've all had lovely days x x

Hey flyer747 we're scan buddies mines at 10am. I can't wait now but keep having vivid dreams that the 5 pregnancy tests I did were wrong, my symptoms are all in my mind and I've just used being preggers as an excuse to eat lots of crap and justify getting fat

Thanks pinksky! Feeling like RUBbISh. So unfortunately, no, I have not forgotten I'm pregs!

Hi all, just marking my place on the new thread.
Been potty training my DS this weekend (2.5) which has been hit and miss!
Sooooooo jealous of doobeedee on holiday [busmile]

Feel better now I know I'm not the only one who still has ages before the scan. We have already told family/friends/work so not waiting for that but just wanting a bit of reassurance.

Busy thread already!

Favellio, v personal choice but you'll be ok with the odd glass if you feel like it? I've tried not to drink 1st trimester but will have a drink when I feel like it later on.

Tucking, hopefully you're on the up now energy/ms wise. I've been trying to forget eating 3 meals a day and having about 5 but small and always just whatever I feel like. Enjoy the Chinese!

Pink, slippy, fish etc I'm glad there's a few of us due late in Oct.

pannacotta, that's so lovely re your sis.

And enjoy your holiday, doobeedee - not jealous at all
