Right, here goes a long 4 page catch up

THANK YOU to everyone who sympathised re: blood taking. They did apologise but it was the receptionist who called me and it wasn't her fault so I couldn't really tell them off as such. Hopefully it will go smoothly once again.

Slippysnow Congrats on seeing your wriggly one.

stuff ooooh congrats on feeling movement. I am jealous, all I get are the odd twinge and back pain, but am only 10 weeks.

theboob good luck with your results.

OneLittle So sorry to hear that.

Ariel21 Congrats on the positive, yet surprising scan.

lovelylara Also sorry to hear your news :(

Sorry if I missed any news. I hope everyone else is well and wish everyone good news from now on. :)

BoyMeetsWorld · 16/04/2013 17:14

Honey yes it's reception (he's 5 this year). Nerve wrackingness of that was not helping my nausea lol so glad it's all over x

lovelylara · 16/04/2013 17:28

Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot, and I'm sorry to put a bit of a dampner on what is otherwise a happy thread.

Wishing you all the rest of a good pregnancy :)

CheeseandGherkins · 16/04/2013 18:38

lovely and one so sorry to hear your sad news :(

Kids were back at school today, I've not been around in a few weeks but have been busy. I was put back on insulin yesterday :( I'm now injecting before lunch and dinner (I hate needles too) and am testing all the time.u fingers are so sore and feel bruised. I have 3 hospital appointments on Friday with different consultants and a clinic for diabetes and need bloods taking. My dating scan has come through for next week so I'm nervous about that too.

Can't believe this pregnancy is going the same way as the last one.

MummaPanda · 16/04/2013 18:45

goes to corner to quietly celebrate my happy scan

woohoooo Sad

BoyMeetsWorld · 16/04/2013 18:47

Aww mumma congratulations, that's great news...don't hide it in the corner, no matter what :) x

Dizzy81 · 16/04/2013 18:49

I'm soo sorry to hear of the sad scan news. Hugs, to you both.

Diege · 16/04/2013 18:49

Sorry for going awol! I have been reading but finding it difficult to recall enough to post anything vaguely relevant or interesting!
I am so sorry to hear your sad news lovelylara and onelittle Sad I had a mmc at 10 weeks a few years ago and it really knocked me, so cruel Sad
I'm 12 weeks and 4 days here, though a bit more by scan dates. Have the much awaited nuchal with prof nicolaides tomorrow and the results from the harmony test. I am very very nervous but know that at least I'll know if there are any problems pretty definitively as the test is 99% accurate. They have said they should be able to confirm the gender from the scan too tomorrow (after 80% sure it's a girl at 10 weeks).
Am probably in my last week on non-maternity wear here - I can tell you that the bump comes pretty quick when it's baby number 6 Grin

Fairydogmother · 16/04/2013 18:59

Hi cheese!

Mumma no being sorry! Happy news makes us all happy too!

I've got hip pain Confused

MissTweed · 16/04/2013 19:04

Onelittle, I'm truly sorry to hear your news, that's terrible. SadTake care of yourself and I wish you and your family all the luck in the world for your future plans xxThanks

MissTweed · 16/04/2013 19:11

Just been catching up...
Lovelylara..... I'm so sorry! Sad Times like this I really don't know what to say. My heart goes out to you and everyone that is going through the same. Truly sad news Thanks

harverina · 16/04/2013 19:19

Welcome back diege and cheese.

Diege best wishes for your scan and results tomorrow.

Cheese sorry to hear your having to inject insulin.

Mumma don't hide Grin Great that your scan went well.

I think hearing that things haven't gone well for some of us makes everyone feel sad and also nervous about our own scans, so good news is wonderful to hear.

Sickness has been better again today though have had a couple of waves of feeling a little sick. My digestive system is definitely out of sorts though even when the nausea is ok.

Anyone else got particularly sore nipples?

I have just glanced up And seen myself in the mirror. My breasts look huge. They have had a significant growth spurt in the past few days. Bras still fit but I can actually feel people looking at my boobs and I want to say yes yes I know!!

I am also feeling particularly huge. Weighed myself today and according to my scales in work (not electronic) I am either the same or 1-2 pounds heavier. Don't believe them though feel enormous Hmm but I cannot blame anyone but myself for all the crap I have been eating. However when you feel soooo sick and know that something will give you relief you don't care! I am going to look into starting aqua natal classes ASAP. Think you have to be 12 weeks and all going well I will be 12 weeks this Saturday. Will wait until dating scan to make sure all ok and my dates ate correct but after that I need to do some exercise!!!

Thinking of you onelittle and lovely. Not sure of you will come back on bit I wanted you to know that I wish you all the very best for the future and hope that someone is taking good care of you x

firsttimemummyy · 16/04/2013 19:27

Hi All, just been trying to catch up with a lot of pages of posts!

So sorry to hear about your scans Onelitte and lovelylara, thinking of you and really hope you are ok. Congratulations to all who have had lovely scan results though!

I have such mixed feelings about my scan on Friday. I am so looking forward to it but yet feeling sick about it at the same time. I know I am going to be all dry mouthed and sweaty palmed going in there! I was trying to tell myself that despite what I have read on all the MN boards the chances of something being wrong are small, but it really seems it happens to a lot of us. :( I had read that the stats were 1 in 10 after 5 weeks but it must be a lot more than that.

I have been trying to protect myself by not letting myself think about anything baby related until the scan - no names, no looking at websites for baby things, forbidding my poor DH/mother from even discussing it! I'm kindof bracing myself for not good news in an odd way. Just don't want to get my hopes up at all. Sorry just realised this is a bit of a depressing post! I'm just so worried. My mum thinks I'm being ridiculous, she doesn't understand at all why I am thinking negatively. Is anyone else feeling the same?

Fairydogmother · 16/04/2013 19:46

first I'm a bit worried too! I've had my booking in and scan and that was at 10+2 so I have a very very long wait until the next one at 18 weeks!

Dizzy81 · 16/04/2013 19:47

First time, Ive got the same feelings about my twelve week scan. I was the same at the early scan appointment. It's natural to feel that waY.

I'VE been an absolute grouch today, snappy and plan irritable, with the occsasional swear word thrown in. Grrr.

Measured my boobs and have gone from a c to a d cup. Has anyone else started to notice a faint line running from their pubic bone to their belly button.

Diege · 16/04/2013 19:55

I agree that it's totally normal to feel nervous before a scan. I was so nervous on one occasion that I couldn't get on the scanning chair Blush (sonographer none too impressed). Did in the end and all was well.
I will have a long wait tomorrow which won't help matters. At least I don't need a full bladder which is a small consolation!

EcoHippyMum · 16/04/2013 20:33

Congrats to those with good news today! Sorry for your losses Lovely and OneLittle, my heart goes out to you. I am terrified I will have the same news next week as I am still getting light brown spotting.

honey86 · 16/04/2013 20:41

i have mixed feelings too, im fairly sure baby is alive, cos i just heard hb on the doppler and a 'thud' and static where i think it kicked the probe, and at the same time felt that little flutter, like bubbles bursting on my skin. Grin but im also well aware that could change in a day, and i could still mc at any time or baby could have a defect of some sort. so im trying not to get too assured.

oh and i had serious talks today, and decided to make a go of it. but this will be make or break, if he messes up again, theres really no going back xx

Just had a thought... Are we vaccinated against measles?? Was it part of the BCG jab we get in school??

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 16/04/2013 20:50

Just a quick post for one and lovely I'm so sorry for your sad news. Wishing you all the best for the very near future.

harverina · 16/04/2013 21:01

Onelittle sorry jut noticed your earlier post - do you have anyone to go to the scan with you or can dh cancel his trip?

I too also do not know what to say in these circumstances and feel that no matter what is said, you will still feel so sad. Please be kind to yourself Thanks
