November 2013- thread 5 of 100,000 ��

[honey86]

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

I don't even know what my fundus would feel like? Tell me please!

Oh jbrd so sorry to hear that you are bleeding hope it is all ok - best wishes for this morning, hope they scan you

Had a rubbish sleep as dd wouldn't go to bed then joined us during the night sometime. Poor dh had to get up at 4 am for his flight so he must feel worse!

Misstweed hope you are ok. Try to calm down if you can and think positive - is there any other reason why the scan would not be positive?

Wibbly 32 degrees?!! So jealous!!!! We had snow at the start of the week again

Everything crossed for you jbrd

Another one who doesn't know what the top of the fundus would feel like!

I'm not liking that I've to wait nearly 2 months to my next scan! Wish I was minted and I'd go private to nosy every few weeks lol

This thread moves at some speed. I just can't keep up.

DW is going to tell her boss today. She doesn't want to tell this early, only 10+2. But she is a psychologist and has a really difficult client who is showing violent tendencies. DW can't risk working with the client incase he kicks off and injures her or wee Pebble.

If she asks some one else to take the client she must give a valid reason. Aside from telling the truth, the only valid excuse is to say a more experienced psychologist is needed. But that is suggesting that she can't do and wouldn't be good for the promotion she is seeking.

Looks like she just had to bite the bullet and tell the truth. Any suggestions?

My work have known for weeks! Well my 2 managers anyway. They have to hold such info in confidence if your wife tells them apart from any official business such as moving the troublesome client. But they can't tell others in the office etc.

Have you had a scan?

Everything crossed for you today JB I hope it goes well, am thinking of you xx

An exciting day for you too MissT the wait us over now so try to enjoy it & good luck!

Ha Stuff I don't even know what my fundus is never mind what it feels like - oh dear lol.

Hope you're feeling a bit less sick today Harv though I'm sure the lack of sleep isn't helping.

I barely ate yesterday so am pretty sure that's why I've woken up feeling rubbish - will have to grab something / anything!!

Got a sheepish txt from SiL this morning saying she accidentally told 2 people, so we can probs safely double that figure at least. DP is finding it hard to keep quiet, I thought I was doing to have to gag him yesterday - had kept passing loud comments 'accidently' no doubt in the hope someone would twig!

I told work too at 7 or 8 weeks, one of the first questions the midwife asked me was if work knew. I think they find it quite important that someone knows so the appropriate risk assessments can be done. Ate they likely to be off with her?

*are

Jbrd, everything crossed for you.

Misst, good luk with your scan, it will be fine.

I had a risk assessment at work, it was just making sure if I'm uncomfortable at my desk to say and I can have my desk adjusted and maybe even a new chair. I've also been assigned a buddy, so in case of an emergency they can escort me out the building.

Yeah saundy so far so good, feeling ok.

Thesperm I think I would tell my boss in your wife's situation. I work in a profession where I can be faced with violent and aggressive clients. I haven't told my boss as I haven't needed to yet but I would if I found myself in that situation.

Fairy We paid for a scan at 8 weeks. Heartbeat was there and measurements matched with our date. Got MW appt today and get our 12w scan booked then.

Saundy We think her boss will be fine but I think for our piece of mind we would have held off telling until after our scan.

DW is just worried as it's her first job since qualifying and she's only been in 6 months. But anyone with half a brain would have known that a baby was highly likely to follow.

She'll be grand. Told all our close family over the weekend and all are delighted. I actually saw a few of my dad's hair turn grey when we told him. Ha

Morning ladies.
Good luck today JBrd will be thinking of you.

Good luck with your scan misst very exciting!

I went to bed at 8pm last night and slept through until DS woken at 6am. Feel much better for it although my nausea seems to have come back. Not helped by having to stand up on the train and then a girl putting some sickly sweet smelling perfume right next to me. I had to move. She gave me a weird look but I think she's have preferred that to the vom all over her ha ha!

Have got size 14 suit trousers on today (normally wear size 12) and they're decidedly tight.

Another one here with no clue about the fundus or its location!

Have a good day all.

Well something I was told when deciding if I should tell work was that in the event something went wrong it would probably be best for your boss to know with regards to time off etc. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that but the support/understanding could only make it easier.

Spoke to the EPU, they want me to monitor the bleeding a bit longer, to see what's happening. Scan is booked for Thursday. This is not how I imagined spending my time off between jobs Need to find ways to distract myself.
And I need to move my booking appt, as it clashes with the scan. Who knows if I still need it

Im back!! Sorry I've been MIA a while but I'm still around. Had my booking in appt last Tuesday (8weeks) and I have my date for my first scan (12 weeks +1). Everything is going well and even the nausea seems to be subsiding. Yay!!

How is everyone else doing? Xx

Good morning ladies.

Back at the office desk and all I can think about is the scan tomorrow morning. Mine is at 9:50. For those who asked about the risk assessment. Iirc, I had one after I told work with my mat 1b last time. It was after 20 weeks. They definitely didn't redo another assessment in my third trimester. But I'm quite relaxed about it as my work is not high risk. I sit in front of a computer all day. All I can recommend is don't get too many maternity jeans for work. They get really uncomfortable to sit all day with towards the end!

JBrd hope everything is ok with you.

MissTweed all the best with the scan this morning. I'm sure a lot of us have fears about scans. It's only natural since the scans are done to find if there is any anomonly! I'm fearing that tomorrow I'll either see 1) an empty sac, 2) it's not grown to 12 weeks thus not viable, or 3) have some deformity. But DH is much more optimistic and was already talking about going to an indian after the scan for lunch

Morning hope all are well. Thinking of you JBird and hope your scan goes well Misstweed!

Feel very lethargic today. Finished assignment at 4am! DH will take it in to Uni as he is in today.

Th

Thinking of you jbrd best of luck for the scan on Thurs.

Morning all! Sorry I've been quiet - we were away over Easter, and I've only just caught up.

Thinking of you all who are worrying and bleeding. And also all of you who are having scans this week; ours is on Friday morning - hooray!

We're going to be holding off sharing our news too widely to begin with because we've had some awesome news that somebody in our Church is expecting as well; they had been told conceiving naturally was impossible, didn't want to do IVF and were turned down for adopting. So I am MEGA excited for them, and would rather them have the limelight for a while.

My sickness was much better last week - I wasn't sick at all in the moning. However, it seems to have returned with vengence over the weekend, which I'm pretty gutted about. I hate being sick. For those of you who've gone through it before - does it 'magically' switch off at one point, or is it more of a phasing out thing?

Had a very real dream last night that I had my scan tomorrow and there were triplets that better not happen!!
Also my siatica is starting to play up ironically after we were talking about it yesterday, its at the front of my left thigh atm.
Looks like we will be telling all close family after scan but no one else for as long as poss. I'm just worried about my dad now, its going to really stress him out!

Glad you have a scan jbrd. Thinking of you in the meantime hope you are getting plenty of rest and tlc.

My wedding and engagement rings are mega tight on me, uncomfortably so. Is this likely to be water retention of fluid? Don't think I have put on that much weight!!

I have a happy, healthy Ickle baby strong heartbeat good downs risk etc etc. both sets of patents told. Soo happy right now. Thanks for all your support guys, I really don't know what I was fretting so much about! I need to learn to relax and stop reading MN for things that could go wrong x

MissTweed I'm so glad for you. I guess you could start looking at buying maternity clothes and baby stuff now . I really need some new clothes, but I'm holding on until my scan tomorrow. I don't want to end up buying stuff I couldn't wear. I'm getting by with my maternity clothes from last time, but it was 6 months out from this month. Just the perfect timing so I need a completely new set of maternity clothes isn't it? I actually needed to buy new swimwear to go to waterbabies as I just couldn't fit into my tummy control one piece anymore . I got a normal two piece. I really didn't like the look of my flabby stomach. But none of the other mums at the class notices. So it mustn't be that bad, is it?

Yaaaaay misstweed!! Hope mine goes just as good tomorrow, 23hrs...eek!!

harv my fingers did that, before being pg with dd my engagemnt ring was a size too big, I still can't fit it on my finger now and dd is 5months. Don't really know what to do about it as I hate not wearing a ring! Dh promised he will buy us both new wedding rings but that has yet to happen lol. Might just get a cheap one from somewhere so atleast I have something to wear!
