started yet another as im aware were about 20 posts from full again lol!

Congrats boob - I admire you, I can't concentrate on anything at the mo!

Good scan news here. Dates caught up (8 weeks) & still nice strong heartbeat despite the cramps that's it now until 12 week scan but feeling much happier.

How are the scans for everyone else?

congratulations theboob ! hope your meeting with the consultant goes well

great news Boymeetsworld must be a relief after everything you have been through!

I don't even have a scan date yet! 9 weeks today... praying that means only a few more weeks of feeling ill left

So dh pretty much told his whole family yesterday after the scan. And my mum wants me to tell my dad today, but I'm really nervous about telling him because he's the sort of person who stresses about stuff, and even though its not really happening to him, he will stress out about how hard its going to be for me. He already has enough going on to stress out about I hate to be the one to stress him out even more! Then I've just got my sister left to tell but not sure when I'm next going to see her, so do I tell her by text / phone call or wait and do it in person? I'd rather do it in person but hate the idea of everyone else knowing except her.

Congrats boy on the scan! Yaay for more happy scan news

So sorry OneLittle and Lovely xxx

Great news boy - well done on your dissertation the boob

10 weeks today!

mumma - I know the feeling - my Mum will start worrying the moment I tell her - hopefully in 2 weeks time

I can feel my tiny bump getting bigger but above the bump is my flabby belly so it looks like I'm hiding half a squashy water melon under my top :( and it has nothing to do with the baby who should only be about the size of a jelly baby - ah well.

Great news boy you must be relieved.

mumma I'd tell, they'd be upset if they found out that others knew first.

DS is fascinated by the funeral procession on the TV bless him.

we have, sorted iti just told her im not gettin involved in it n all i expect from her is to just be there should it go tits up.

well done on your dissertation ive got college tonight myself as ive got my exams in june so im waitin for my postman to drop my parcel to me then im going to catch up on some shuteye. i feel nausea more when im tired i dont want to be feeling vom while i do my work x

and congrats on the good scan boy

mumma I would be tempted to tell her by phone /text. I still feel a bit annoyed with my good friend who wanted to tell me in person so badly that I only found out a couple of months after the rest of our friends knew (I live the other end of the country so don't see her as often). I would much rather have felt involved by text/ email!

honey - hope everything goes ok, it sounds like you're being fairly sensible about it. Hopefully he will change and become more of the partner you need.

boymeets - oh yay - fantastic news. The 12 week scan will come round quickly.

well done boob on your dissertation, I remember what a good feeling that was, it's such a huge piece of work for such a long time of your life!

Everything here is ok I think....I'm a bit worried all my symptoms have still vanished, although I am eating like a horse. I can not wait till my scan next Monday.

I'm also a bit nervous about telling people after that. Our families and close friends know, and are all over the moon. I haven't been with DP for that long (6 months), so i know lots of people will be judging us for jumping into something so serious so soon, but it was very much planned.

Good point tired there's a small chance I might be able to tell her in person today if she's working, my mum should know if she is so I'll find out. If not I guess I will call or text her.

Hi everyone, just dropping in as i haven't written on here forever, mostly because I'm so zonked at night am going to bed at 7:30! I've read through all the threads and great to see progress and good scans!

So sorry to hear all the bad news about mmc and the like. I had really hoped we had come to an end of the bad news. It really does show how tricky it is to make a baby and get to 12 weeks. I do hope that all those who had bad news will try again, particularly as you're meant to be much more fertile after an mc.

I'm amazed to be at almost 11 weeks (10+6) given that I had 3 previous mcs and keep expecting something bad to happen. However what I'm more amazed by is that after 4 days of painful constipation I finally had a BM this morning.... and it was a glorious moment! :) sorry, I can't be the only one who is constipated, right?

I'm feeling remarkably well now (10+2) and could easily forget I'm pregnant. I am just waiting for my scan in 2 weeks and hoping this isn't a bad sign. I haven't had much in the way of nausea or tiredness at all, just a bit of evening queasiness between weeks 6-8. My boobs are no longer sore, although still huge, and I seem to be growing vast quantities of body hair, which is a bit annoying. I think this must be payback for the lack of sickness. I would rather be hairy than not-pregnant though.

Currently away on a work trip and am besieged by unsuitable food and colleagues wanting to go drinking. I am 100% sure they must have guessed, especially as I am really fat in the evenings now.

Retro I'm also feeling grand! So grand I'm scared there's nothing in there! My bikini line is looking decidedly unkempt so a waxing session is in order!

Williamina I was constipated too but it's eased a tiny bit thank god

fairy I too am becoming Sasquatch-like and must cover my body in Nair on the weekend. I also noticed my nipples are becoming way darker, preparing for the hell that is early breastfeeding!!

I'm definitely getting hairier too, although I had a dream the other night that my thighs were covered in thick black hair so the reality doesn't seem so bad any more

9 weeks and think I am getting the start of a bump, I am getting thinner thanks to the hyperemesis, but can feel the start of a bump now, makes it feel a bit more real although I need the scan before I will even start to relax.

fairy williamina & tired I'm glad it's not just me covered in body hair. I keep looking at the epilator but haven't had the energy to tackle the tangle of hair covering most of my body.

Williamina, yes to the constipation -I had beans on toast for tea on Monday night - a whole big tin and that certainly got things moving! Also noticed the nipple thing too.

I am so sorry to hear one and lovely's news - please take care

Thanks Saundy my dh has been mega supportive.

Well I had the scan and there is indeed a little wriggly baby in there. I guess I better start believing it now. Also had the dreaded blood test the midwife was extremely patient. Am glad it's done!

We can start telling people now which feels strange when nobody knew for so long.

Yes to the hair and constipation. Oh the glamour!!

I had my scan today - this was an NHS one to check my dates - two little somersaulting babies! the midwives were great - very encouraging and said I was their first twin mum for a while.

Their best guess going on what they can see and how the babies are measuring is that they dont expect them to be identical as definitely in their own scas and have their own placentas plus one is about a day behind the other so they reckoned they are from separate eggs maybe even fertilised on different days.

Given due date of 7th Nov though that would be 40 weeks so expecting them really(& ideally) in October - next scan (at 12+5) weeks on April 30.

tentatively begining to get a bit excited!!!

best of luck to everyone else with scans coming up

I am also feeling really good. Sickness seems to have vanished overnight which is stressing me out???!!! Also not as tired either. My nipples are still sore And suffering from mild constipation - tmi sorry but Am going to the loo bits not easy iykwim. I've not been good at taking my lactulose regularly so will need to do that. But tbh if I didn't know I was pregnant I wouldn't think I was - should I be worried?

Well done on the dissertation Boob I bet you don't know what to do with yourself now! I'm one of those weirdo's that loved writing mine, so much so I started it the summer before my final year as I couldn't wait to get going!

I'm glad you survived it unscarred Busy that's great news. I'm loving all the lovely scan reports but I have to ask what do you see?? As in what are they doing in there, do they bounce or swim or float or what??!!! What's happening in my uterus!!!! Haha.

Ooh non identicals Spanish so you might get one of each!! Have you got your head around the whole twin thing now?! My sister had non identical boys & one is just like her & one is just like my BiL which is lovely, you really wouldn't know they were twins at all.

So impatient now!

I''ve just had a nap with DS. Really felt like I needed it today, was feeling a bit out of sorts.
I did myself a list of chores today and have done two of them!
On the plus side, DS has baked and also painted and done water play so don't feel utterly useless

Harv enjoy it!! I had 2 glorious days of normality but it didn't last so make the most of it! You are pregnant so this lovely break your body is giving you to regroup is only that. There'll be something unpleasant in the post - as that seems to be the way of the womb
