thread 2

Thinking of you today Soured - really hope a cancellation comes up.

First booking appointment today :)

Ugh, worst nights sleep ever! Between leg cramp, stretching pains from my uterus, and DS being a demon child, I feel like death on a stick DH helped as much as he could bless him, so the pair of us are wandering round like zombies today!

Rock I'm with you on the zombie feeling. We were tag teamed most of the night by both kids. So tired!

I run a toddler group on Mondays and the woman who runs it with me is away for the next 3 weeks. Plus my grandma who does the teas and snacks is away too. So I have to set up and put away on my own, plus doing all the snacks, washing up, and supervising my children. Ds is to old now he is 5 so it's not much fun for him and he can't really play properly because he has to be careful of the little ones. Most that come are under 3.

Well iv just had my scan and all is good. Saw heartbeat and featal pole. Measuring one day ahead so edd is now 20th march.

great news sarah really happy to hear good news... just being nosey, does this mean your scan was earlier than 12 weeks? x

Yeh I had an early scan at 5 weeks due to pains and the one today at 7+3weeks to check everything was still going ok. Iv got my 12week scan booked in for 5th sept didn't have to wait for midwife to send off for a date just went in to my maternity unit and they booked me in.

Great news Sarah.

Soured, I hope the bleeding has stopped or at least eased off. Good luck of you're still going to try for a cancellation.

Hi all, and welcome to the new Martians

Soured a delayed hand hold for you, I do hope you get a cancellation that you can swoop down on.

I got lucky on Friday in that I went to see my GP because of my dizziness and palpitations, and she managed to get me the last appointment of the day at the EPU, it took bloody ages to get seen, but we saw a tiny little bean with a heart beat, I'm only 7 weeks, so it's very early days and a lot could still happen, but after my last MC was at this stage, it's a great reassurance

I officially got excited today..i went into mothercare and i also got my bounty and emmas diary goodie bags...they were so much better 15 yrs ago!!!
9+4 today and im so ready for this now :)

Who the fuck is Emma??

Oh Pram you have a treat in store!
Emma is the woman in the Bounty pack baby book. It is laid out in the style of a diary. She is a smug cow, who always looks immaculate, doesn't suffer from any pg side effect and never looks like she has been chewed up and spat out or that she hasn't slept for a week for vomiting!
By week 23 you will want to take a baseball bat to her face!

So funny! Can't be doing with Emma and her diary!! Total rot! Maybe at the end of this journey us Martians can put together a Martian diary using this thread to replace Emma! They are well overdue a new image!

Congrats to Sarah on a good s can result,

Hope you doing ok soured.

I got Emma's Diary from the doc surgery at my first appt. how do you get the Bounty pack and is there anything worth having in it?

Dont get me wrong as far as emma is concerned she can go do one...trollop..i just like free stuff...glad i got a few tena lady, but why baby oil now...maybe for lube..nappy cream is for itchy piles i presume..as for the alpen berry crunch, the dog loved a nibble of that...

Oh ok frank ive been taking 800 mg of folic acid is that too much x

so 2 pills a day gawjus? usually the dose is 400mg

Yeah i have been thinking the more the better lol obviously not! Why does everyone hate emmas diary? X

Don't take more than the recommended dose of folic acid. I'm on a higher dose because spina bifida runs on both side of the family. But that still isn't double the normal dose.

Ugh. She sounds like a right twat. They offered me a bounty pack but I declined saying I hate coconut

Nice news on the scan, Sarah.

How are you, Soured? We are all rooting for you so much, I think we've all taken you to our massive bosoms with your wretched trials.

Gawjus, I think you may be on 400mu not mg? I'm on 10mg and that is considered high. Please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong...Frankel? You sound brainy.

Stephie, you bloody crack me up

Can you remember the lady on here who was fretting that her fiance didn't want to marry before baby was due? I'm wondering how she is doing.

I have now gained 7lbs since my BFP (I am 10 wks tomorrow). My thigh gap fucked-off yonks ago and I'm fed up. Please can I have similar stories? Anyone who still has a thigh gap and abs and is still doing round-house kicks in their Body Combat classes can kindly fuck off keep quiet. Fanks.

pramqueen I'm the size of a house and reckon im only 9 to 10 weeks. I don't weigh myself because I've got a bit of a thing about my weight and don't want to know. But my jeans are definatly feeling tight and I'm eating like a horse!

Hi all,

Thank you so much for the hand holding and bosom hugs. I'm in work today, have decided not to go for a cancellation apt as DH can't get time off work until Wednesday. The outcome won't be any different other than me stressing out but thems the breaks.

saggy I will keep an eye out for you on the labour ward

I'm still bleeding fresh red blood (sorry for the tmi!) and it's still heavy but the dr said don't worry unless I flood a pad or have large clots as my cervix was closed yesterday.

My head is elsewhere completely today, it always is but today moreso. You ladies have all been so kind, I know they are words on a screen but they mean a lot to me

As for size wise. I'm huge. People have started commenting that I'm 'filling out in a few areas' and pointing to my boobs and belly

I've always been hefty so the thigh gap has never been there!!

hello everyone... been pretty quiet on here just reading everyone's posts (of which there are many)!!

having a bad day so far... feeling mildly queasy which I can cope with but also feeling very light headed and not all there. I think if I stand up right now i'd probably pass out! just eaten so its not through lack of food and I've just got a sugary drink to see if that helps... it didn't.

quick question - i'm only 6+5 weeks and already my clothes are feeling tight? can this be from the bump or am I just piling on weight?!? I don't think I've eaten any more than usual (if anything less) but surely its a bit early to be growing?!?

please help - I don't want to become a fat heifer!!!

pram i know you said to keep hush but i have the opposite problem which sounds wonderful and everything, but it is so annoying, especially when i don't want to eat anything right now! weight falls off me so i have to eat a LOT just to not look ill at the best of times! also my 4'10" size 6 aunt had a giant bump and LOADS of fluid but was still tiny every other way so i am dreading that coming my way!

grass is always greener! - maybe we could swap?

i am however not doing round house kicks/anything productive because my routine is currently that of a sloth
