Brilliant news Trix that's great :)

Solars yes to headaches, I got them a lot in my last 2 pg's. I found that only paracetamol would do.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/08/2013 15:46

Great news Trix

Solars, I was getting horrible headaches, but they've eased off for now. I too found only paracetamol worked

ThedementedPenguin · 14/08/2013 19:47

Trix glad everything went well. I've no idea how you didn't find out, I'd drive myself nuts not knowing. I'm really hoping I can find out with this one as well.

maybe I downloaded that app sprout. Did you pay for it?

Solars I had really bad headaches during my first pregnancy. However, I did suffer badly with them before so I wasn't surprised. This time I seem to be okay.

I seem to feel a bit sick around tea/dinner time. Puts me off eating then it leaves, but by the time it leaves its far to late for me to start eating otherwise id feel bloated with lots of trapped wind all night. :(

NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/08/2013 20:47

Pen the way forward is to eat through the sickness. It helps in a weird way.

I did pay for it, as the trial only lasts 2 weeks.

SweetieTime · 14/08/2013 21:07

Trix great news on the scan, are you starting to relax yet?

keep sounds like you are on for a scan with a 2 hour appointment. I would imagine they will do your booking in bloods too. Is DH going with you?

I have my NHS scan on Monday, as all was well this week DH says I can take my DM. She will love it as the pictures just don't do justice to seeing the wriggly babies on the screen. I bet there will be tears, bless her.

No headaches to report here, but I hope you all feel better soon. After tea (fish fingers, chips and mushy peas in case you are interested) I had terrible indigestion or trapped wind, whatever it was very uncomfortable. Anyone else suffering like this?

penguin we said no but out of interest I did ask if he could see and he said no, baby is not in the best position for it anyway. I was pleased the consultant didn't know! there's still the NHS 20wk scan, but we're sticking to our decision. ubb for me. although I'm sure I'd be tempted if they had seen and could tell us.
my private consultant is fairly quick doesn't really make any effort to try to get baby to move round or anything. hopefully next time baby won't be facing away.

Thanks Keep on the recommendation, I'll look into it.

Great scan news Trix I don't want to find out either but I think DH wants to, it's funny though we both refer to the baby as 'he' or 'him' which probably means its a girl!

Thanks ladies about the headaches, I took a nap in the afternoon in the hope that when I woke up it would have disappeared, no such luck so I took a couple of paracetamols but it only took the edge off so I still have the headache. May just apply some 4head and try to sleep.

Pen hope that sickness subsides for you soon.

No indigestion or trapped wind for me yet Sweetie lots of free flowing wind though Blush

I've have a real craving for spicy food at the moment!

Boo, Maybe hope you're both doing well!

keepitgoing · 14/08/2013 21:49

I thought that was your nhs scan sweetie. Will be lovely to take your mum.

I used to feel sick in the evenings too pen. I agree, just force yourself to eat.

sweetie its not as bad recently but some evenings bloating is v painful. Actually I think I need to start eating smaller portions, but am still eating normal size. You're prob bigger than me what with your two, so maybe try that?

keepitgoing · 14/08/2013 21:51

solars my trapped wind was worst at 4-10 weeks, so hopefully you've dodged it!

ThedementedPenguin · 15/08/2013 09:18

keep I know what you mean. I only had a very small dinner last night but I couldn't eat anymore. Also I was too afraid of feeling bloated, so now I limit when I eat. Can't wait for the next few weeks to be over.

12 weeks cannot come quick enough.

keepitgoing · 15/08/2013 11:02

Why do the midwives come to you house? Is it to judge?

Solars · 15/08/2013 11:17

Keep is the midwife coming today? God I hope they don't come to our house! So far my midwife appointments have been at the hospital and the next one is at the gp surgery

keepitgoing · 15/08/2013 11:30

Yeah, in 30 mins, to do my 'booking'! :) I told her 'oh don't worry I can easily come to the surgery' but she was firm... I guess they want to see I don't live in a cardboard box. I don't live in one, but I do live OUT of hundreds one.

Oh well, at least I have an excuse. :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/08/2013 12:20

You'll be fine Keep, not like you're Wayne and waynetta slob Grin.

My appointments are all at the GP too, but I think they must come round at some point. I'll set the pup on her Wink

We are hoping to move before baby comes anyway. We don't do things by halves in the Maybe household. New job, baby and new house. Well, good luck comes in threes they say.

How is everyone else today?

keepitgoing · 15/08/2013 13:42

Neither do we, maybe! New country, two new jobs, new house (and plan on buying and moving when Kip is about two months!) new baby. Well, it's better than being bored, I guess.

Well, all fine with the MW. Kip has a lovely strong heartbeat at 152. :)

I asked her why they come round. She went on about it being more comfortable for us in our own environments etc, but eventually admitted it is a bit of a reccy :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/08/2013 13:47

Ah, so pleased it all went well Keep! No, you definitely don't do things by halves Grin

Does the new job start Monday?

keepitgoing · 15/08/2013 13:59

No, its just been put back to the 2nd. At least that gives me a chance to unpack more.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/08/2013 14:00

Ah, that's good!! Are you looking forward to it?

keepitgoing · 15/08/2013 15:03

In a way, I guess. But also not, as im lazy. And can i take my lunchtime naps?! It's only for 9 weeks anyway

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/08/2013 16:01

Lunch time naps would be immense!! They should be compulsory!! 9 weeks will fly by!

keepitgoing · 15/08/2013 16:08

I'll be mostly working from home, so should manage the naps. I get quite a sore back from sitting up too long these days, so am a bit concerned.

Right, am off to try the yoga DVD from the lovely olives. I read the booklet about hypnobirthing this morning and started crying - I can't believe it still sometimes.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/08/2013 16:09

Oh Keep lovely Smile I'm not sure it will ever sink in.

Enjoy your yoga

ThedementedPenguin · 15/08/2013 16:28

Glad the midwife appointment went well keep although why did you start crying?

I'd love a lunch time nap. Alas it's not to be this time.

keepitgoing · 15/08/2013 17:18

Why did I cry? I think it was the thought of being in labour and meeting our baby at last, and that it's really happening.

olives' yoga DVD is very 1980s, though it says 2003. Odd! :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/08/2013 17:26

Grin Keep did you wear a leotard?!
