Thread three... Rock and Roll......

Lol! Sorry Toby - didn't mean to get you googling! That article is also reassuring!

extra ermm well I have dd & dsd who lives with us & also dss that stays at weekends so we r quite a busy household as it is lol. So hoping there is just one in there :) x

Morning all, firstly apologies because I haven't kept up with what's been going on with you guys, we've had a pretty hectic week here! I will scan through soon though
We had the repeat scan at epau today (6 weeks) and 'Pip' is doing fine, growing well, even saw a teeny heartbeat!
I accepted an offer on my house and we put in an offer in our dream family home on Wednesday, and they accepted too
Dd "found out' about Pip too, so it's all going on! She's mega excited
Hope you are all well, we are planning a few days away in France soon, to de-stress!

Wow, it's all going on for you, lovelilies! Glad it's all going well :)

Thank you Toby

Sultanajo it sounds like your GP and mine went to the same med school for training. So frustrating.

I didn't think I was having strange dreams, but then had two early this morning featuring Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, so I know something crazy is going on with my hormones!

So glad it's Friday, I have to say. Unfortunately, I've managed to do something terrible to my achilles tendon, and can barely walk right now. I'd normally take an ibuprofen because it's quite swollen and tender but guess I'll have to settle for paracetamol and icing it. maybe I should be grateful for a legit excuse to laze about now?

So exciting to hear that others are seeing their bbs on scan now! Can't wait to see a heartbeat here.

I had a dream about being at a swimming pool and I was trying to put my stuff in a locker but they were all too small or funny-shaped. At the same time one of my bosses was trying to discuss some work stuff with me & I was really conscious that I was in my swimming costume with a towel round me. Just weird! DP said I was tossing & turning in my sleep & told me off for agitating bubs!

Just quickly checking in with everyone as am off on holibobs tomorrow for a week. Glad everyone seems to be doing ok. Can't help with allergy advice as i don't have any at all. Haven't been having crazy dreams myself either but don't think I want them. I have vivid enough dreams normally!
Dh has decided he doesn't think we should have am early scan now. I totally get why and he needs to be to sane one for the next few months. I think if he wasn't losing his job it might be a bit different. At least today I got my booking app and booklet through. 2 weeks today! Guess I will get a scan date after that. Am hoping sooner rather than later.
Anyway I will attempt to catch up as much as possible on my return. Hope everyone has a fab week!

You lot are too chatty!

If anyone tries to make me wear a leotard, I will poke them in the eye.

I am jealous of those with pregnant friends! I will be the first of mine to have a baby, so no one in real life to share the experience with. Will be trying to find local mums to be to make friends with in a few months, for sure! And might be making puppy dog eyes at those of you in London and the environs on this thread, haha.

carrot, I am having some super crazy dreams too ? although I can never really remember what they are when I wake up, just that they were intense!

littlepea, clementines mixed into coleslaw?.? Rather you than me!

mythree, I am 6+3 and I just about fit my normal clothes, but they are tight round the middle ? though I think it?s bloating rather than a real baby bump, if you see what I mean!

frying, eeek! Fingers crossed all will be well. Sounds like they?re looking after you well, at any rate, which is good news!

lilies, so much good news! Yay! I am jealous of your holiday. Can I come with you?

Glad to hear I?m not the only person with skin troubles at the moment. Mine is usually on the dry side, but it?s awful at the moment, especially on my face.

I finally got round to calling up the GP to get things started, so I am just waiting on a call back. Exciting!

Crosspost - have a lovely time, frizz!

Have a lovely holiday Frizz!

Lovelilies - sounds like everything's falling nicely into place!

Can the London ladies shout out their neighbourhoods if they feel comfortable? (I know some already have..) I'm in Enfield, so not really London proper, but maybe there are some others up north too?

Hi all! Had our early scan this morning. All's looking well, teeny heartbeat flickering away, measuring ok for dates (she said 6+0, I say 6+2, but at this stage there's a lot of error). The sonographer said she was impressed with how full my bladder was

So happy to have that reassurance, I feel like I can relax on hols a bit now. Once I've packed anything, that is. Eek.

Sorry I can't namecheck ATM - just posting super quick back at work. Hope everyone's well and happy :)

Hello everybody!

I'm in week 7 now, ETA 7th January. I haven't seen anyone medically yet, but the circus begins next week with a trip to see 2 doctors at the hospital and the midwife the week after. This being my first I have no idea what to expect, and I am not looking forward to it. Infact it's the only thing I am getting enraged about! Never been one for dr's and all the things they seem to think are needed.

But thankfully, other than being feeling a bit sick occasionally and wanting to run away to a cottage by a lake in Finland, I seem to being doing ok!

Have a lovely holiday Frizz!

Lovelilies - sounds like everything's falling nicely into place!

Hello everyone, well, good news, I am definitely pg despite the wierd brown spotting right at the start. POAS this morning (CB) and it said 3+ weeks so that makes me 5-6 weeks which is where I think I am :-).
Feeling DELIGHTED to feel properly in the Jan 14 baby club now! Having felt absolutely fine until now, yesterday I started feeling properly nauseus and smelling a herbal tea bag made me gag slightly, so I suppose that's all good too [hmmm]. EDD is 22 Jan so I'll update my stats now on the other thread. I am on hols tomorrow for a week (nowhere too glam, west coast of Scotland!) so will call GP and book in on my return when I'll be 7 weeks.

I hope all of you suffering bad ms are feeling a little better now? xx

I am in Cheshunt, so just outside North London. We're quite close, Catch! Have you thought about which hospital you're going to go to?

Great news, enjoying!

Hello, keskiviikko! I am actually quite looking forward to seeing the doctor I think it will make things feel more official. Right now I still feel a little bit like I've made the whole thing up!

Yay, mythree!

Why is everyone but me going on holiday, you're all inspiring me to feel more RAGE

I want a holiday!! Not fair.

Mythree - brilliant news

Have lovely holidays, Frizz and enjoying :)

Lovely news on your scan, enjoying. Glad you're feeling reassured.

Catch, I hope your foot feels better soon.

I've had a kind of pulsing pain on the left side, right by my hipbone, for about an hour or so this morning. It's stopped now, but no idea what it was.

Had a teeny bit more pink stuff last night and then nothing again. I just need it to be Sunday, so that I know one way or another whether everything is ok.
I've felt quite sick today, which is unusual for me. Usually my nausea isn't starting until the late afternoon/evening, but I've had a nasty taste in my mouth and have felt quite horrible most of today. I've just had some delicious sushi from Waitrose (and got some of that delicious apple and ginger juice, Sultana!) and I'm feeling a bit better for now :)

What has everyone got planned for the weekend?
DH and I are babysitting my gorgeous 18mo nephew tomorrow, so we're going to take him to a nearby castle to run riot in the grounds and feed the ducks/swans. Unless it rains. Then we'll be stuck in all day :(

Then Sunday is the (dreaded) scan.

Oooh, have a lovely holiday, mythreeknights.

Congrats to everyone whose had lovely scans and all is ok.

Hope all going on holiday have a fab time!!!

Love, so nice to hear the jigsaw is slotting together nicely ! Good luck with the move. I am currently still moving after just renovating and can't wait for it all to be finished!

Hope everyones rage is easing away... Slightly.... And sickness isn't too bad.

I'm in London but more central sw.

I'm lucky tho because 2 of my sister in laws are both 18 weeks preg, they are both due in October weird! But they will all be in the same school year so thats nice

Thanks Toby - and enjoy your babysitting (...) x

Hmm thought I'd change my name after much disclosed information.... Was gemma277 will update

I can imagine how you're feeling toby let's hope the Sunday comes quickly!
