March 2014 - Thread 4 - awaiting our dating scans

[MTBMummy]

Stats thread here Here

Morning. Sleeeeepy! I literally cannot move today! We had a Chinese takeaway last night that was so good. But I've got my eye on a mango this morning, I've been craving one and bought it yesterday. The kids are going to have to wrestle me for it!

Going to messy play at the children's centre, no idea what this is but it will pass the time! And then my neighbours are coming over, they are twins and absolutely insane so it's hard work seeing them and I know I will feel sick and be exhausted.

Ha ha F&t, opposite problem to my paltry 'one little carrot to last all week' issue! If you google Emma's diary I think the booklet is all on their website, alternatively there may be an option to ask for one to be sent to you.

Sleeeeepy today. And a lot to do at work. Roll on tomorrow and my dating scan, eek!

Mummypig messy play at the children's centre sounds fun! And no clearing up to do at home, winner.

Mango yummy ive been eating alot of strawberries... Had marmite and phillidelphia on toast this morn day off at last phew!

Good luck with your scan tomorrow eee i hope its wriggling and waving at you like ours was :)

We had takeaway too last night but it left me feeling very sick. Just ate a few mouthfuls.

Oh how exciting Ice! Are you the first one from the thread?

Exciting times Ice!

F&T I didn't given a copy of Emma's diary either. But there is a great iPad app for it!

I hate the commute. Everyone smells

Maybe, 8+3

Mummy messy play is fab! Make sure your DC is in their scruffs though - our surestart messy play sessions involve cornflour and water goo, cold tinned spaghetti, paint, sand, water etc etc and you don't want to get stuff like that all over any nice clothes!!

Good luck for tomorrow Ice

I'm really craving melon, but got to wait in for a stupid workman so no chance of any until this afternoon at the earliest

TMI ladies, but for the last 3 nights I've woken up in the early hours with a really upset tummy, yet I'm fine during the day! Is this normal or should I speak to the midwife?

Emmas diary is a load of balls. It irked me how much it went on about 'feeling sexy' and 'staying sexy.'

I'm really not arsed about feeling sexy Emma, I'm just trying to get through the day without puking.

Week 9 and feeling fine, literally feel great today, loads of energy, then immediately feel guilty incase "something's happened" , grr it's messing with my head!

I say week 9 but actually 9 weeks today marks beginning of 10th week, I always like to try and trick myself into thinking I'm a bit further along!

Have a great day y'all!

hands Ice* a marrow courgette and a giant oinion for the store cupboard.

NoMaybe I'm droid so will look it up on play store later.

Hot I feel l'm missing out on some serious eye rolling, deep siging, bemoaning the lack of realiy and not forgetting the mocking. Its like a trian wreck, you know its bad but you've gotta take a look! Ps. What do you mean you dont feel sexy, surely the fatigue, nausea and bloating adds to the sexiness!

F&T

Im 11 wks today and ive put on 5lbs since 8 weeks is that bad i feel so fat i eat non stop literally im already worried about loosing the weight after cos i know so many slim jims who are now fat after having children :( im going to start pregnancy yoga i think and start swimming/running asap post birth .....

Morning all

Good luck for tomorrow Ice

I woke at 3 feeling very very ill, but it seems to have let off a bit now, that was until my colleague sat down next to me with a large bowl of baked beans and sausages - I could have thrown up in his bowl now he's coughing and sneezing next to me - WIBU to kill him?

I didn't get a copy of Emma's Diary either, I was kind of looking forward to seeing what rubbish it sprouted. Although I do have a book from MiL on how to be a good wife which was published in the 1950's it's laughable, one bit of advice that sticks with me is "Remember to have your hair set before you go into labour, and take your makeup with you, so that you look your best when your husband sees you"

Hope you are getting on well Lyra.

I'm feeling disturbingly fine this morning as well. 8+2 so a bit soon, but I'll probably be sick again by lunchtime.

Arghh! Just spoke to my midwife, she said I should have had a scan date through by now so she's gone off the chase up the hospital. Sounds like they've misplaced the paperwork, but midwife says she has got a copy of the fax sent to them after my booking in appointment.

Marking my place.

My EDD has moved to 28/02/14, but, DS2 was 15 days late, so I reckon there's a chance this one will be late, too.

I'm 11.4 and still no scan date!

MTB that's ace, I want a copy!!

Gaw no matter how much weight you gain, you will lose it if you want to badly enough. Pre DS I was always slim, 5'7" and around 9.5 stone. Gained 5 stone having him, but once he was here I wasn't anywhere near as bothered about my weight as I had been before. Still lost most of it without really trying, so if I'd stuck with any diet or exercise it would have all come off. Don't worry about doing it too soon though, I lost a stone just by giving birth, then another stone in 4 weeks which I put down to breastfeeding and lochia!! Aiming to gain no more than 2 stone this time if I can, so that I can hopefully get back to pre baby weight without trying

I feel your pain gaw. I'm 7lbs heavier already - ontop of extra 1.5 stone extra weight left on from DS2, 6 months old.

Really wuxia i got my scan date when i was just over 9 weeks, have you phoned and asked my mw gavee a number to ring if i hadnt recieved it by 11 weeks.

Lol rock i hope i loose it that quick when i got bfp i was so convinced i was gonna eat soo healthy but no all ive been eating is noodles/fizzy strawberry laces cheese and all kimds of bad food :( i did have some strawberries.... I will be buying a belly bandit too!!

Frigging hell! 5 stones! How does that happen?

Thinking of you this morning, Lyra.

Also looking at stretch mark avoidants!! Think im gonna purchase burts bees tummy butter so many to choose from :/

I gained 3 stone with DD (although I was grossly underweight) I managed to lose 2 stones after having her and was at a much healthier BMI when I fell pregnant. I'm hoping I'll gain only 2 stones this time round and shed them quite easily - I know the choc chip cookies at the weekly mums meet ups and all the coffee shop mornings did not help my weight loss after DD, so I don't plan on doing that again.

Faithful Every second word is sexy. How you will get a sexy cleavage. How sexy maternity underwear does exist and a sexy bra is a must

Aside from that there is a whole section dedicated to 'Feeling Sexy.'

I'm on week 11 and have learned that Emma had a lovely long soak in the bath tonight with a strawberry soda bath bomb which was 'totally lush'

If anyone wants any Bio Oil, Primark have atarted stocking it!

I left mw a voicemail yesterday and sent her a txt message this morning.

Not sure what to do if I don't get a response today.
