March 2014 - Thread 4 - awaiting our dating scans

[MTBMummy]

Stats thread here Here

I remember you, OpalFruits! Glad you're back on board.

I did not get Walter from Breaking Bad. I've actually loved the name since watching a film about a retarded young man called Walter played by Sir Ian McKellen in the seventies. He was horribly bullied and I don't think it ends well either. Very depressing but the name stuck with me.

Ice - i bursted into tears the other day cos OH let me win scrabble. Oops.

Pram I have just lost my awesome GP (she was forced to retire due to ill health) her locum sounds like the female/idian equivalent of your GP, So I was worried if I got a crap MW too it may have finished me off. I have long term health problems so understanding medical staff is a priority for me. Luckily my MW is awesome, which made me want to cry with relief.

F&T 11weeks today

Just got caught up on thread and gutted for Mort.

Becca hope you're ok - the wait seems so cruel.

Good news on yesterday's 12 weeks scans. Gawjus we're 20 week scan buddies!

Now I'm back at work, it's a lot harder to keep up with thread and I'll probs be posting a bit less but will do my best. It also means this pregnancy will just fly now as one week rolls into the next at a scary pace!

I don't like Breaking Bad, I just can't get into it. Dh loves it though.

I'm so tired. Don't want to drag myself out of bed but my friend is dropping her kids off at 8.15 on her way to hospital so I have to be up and dressed.

Can't wait for my scan, a week and a half to go!

Your 20wk is 17th oct too cool? Ill be 20+2 will be lovely bday present for me finding out sex :) xx

I love breaking bad too! We are up to date here. Must admit to considering Jesse for a boy!

Yes Gawjus 17th Oct, I'll be 20+3 based on last scan or 20+1 based on the date in my notes!

Can't remember who was discussing Elodie - I loved it last pregnancy but it was another one DH vetoed (we had a DS anyway). Think I'll add it to list again this time - haven't discussed names with DH yet and he will no doubt cross off half my list!

Morning! Got my scan date through!! 13th September!!

Nice one Raspberries!

Becca how are you this morning?

I am in a TERRIBLE mood. Awful nights sleep last night, DD woke up a couple of times for some reason and I have an awful headache this morning. Serves me right for having a small glass of last night.

How did everyone receive their first scan date? Did it come separately in the post to the letter confirming your booking in appointment?

greymoose sounds like sciatic pain. It's very common in pregnancy. You should be able to self refer to the physio, they may be able to help.

becca fingers crossed for today.

I was going to give you all some pearls of wisdom from my gran in laws pregnancy book. My mil was born in 1950 so it's dated around then. I can't actually find it so I'll try the ones I can remember.

#1 if you're suffering from morning sickness offal will settle the stomach.

#2 when pregnant it is perfectly acceptable to refuse your husband his marital rights. This is the only time in a marriage that refusal is ok.

I'll try and hunt it out its quite a good read!!

Lumpy the thought of offal just made me gag - why would that settle the stomach??? You have to find it to impart more un wisdom :)

Jol mine was sent separately, got the letter a day or 2 after my booking appt but was actually sent before - stupid Royal Mail!

I'm getting some light cramps, is that normal at this stage? I'm 12+1

Wish me luck Martians, going into the EPU for a scan at 10.30. A different nurse to the one I spoke to three weeks ago took it all very seriously and booked me straight in. Hope it's not a bad sign...

Scan day today!!! How are you feeling wuxia & Lyra?

I'm so nervous. I can't actually remember the last time I was so nervous for something.

Ta RockChick . I've had my booking in appointment through for weeks but still haven't seen anything about a scan. Booking in is a week today.

Owl, Jesse was my choice for DS2 but so many people were negative about it that I changed it. I wish I hadn't cave in to pressure now.

Becca, fingers crossed for you.

I've got my scan this afternoon and starting to feel nervous.

Good luck Hotcross and Wux. I don't know why I'm so nervous. I had a scan at 8 weeks and heard the heartbeat at 11+5. Just hoping the NT doesn't give me a high risk because I don't want to have to make the decision about whether to have risky amnio or cvs.

Good luck Wux and Hot

And Becca too...

Fingers crossed for all

Is there anyone still waiting for their scan date? I'm feeling a bit left out. Knowing my luck my daft MW will have forgotten to book it or lost my notes of bloods like she did last time. ARGH!

No good luck for me?

Good luck Lyra Becca Hot and Wux!!!

Hope all goes well at the EPU, Becca!

It's our turn, Hot and Lyra, and yes, I am nervous! We're all in about the same time, so will be feeling those emotions in unison.

Good luck to you both and look forward to hearing about it later!!

Still waiting on mine MTB

Sorry Lyra - can't believe I forgot you
