Total hoping you get good results.

Lyra happy birthday!

Brighton good luck for your scan.

I also cannot stand dhs deodorant. I make him spray it in the bathroom with the window open.

ice I think it's normal to worry ab

Jol the heat from a photocopier damages the image. Although you can take a photo of the scan and just get it printed as normal photos.

Sorry!

It's normal to worry. We always wanted a third child, we couldn't do it sooner because of our wedding. Now I'm worried my other two are older and so close that baby will be left out all on its own. Ds will be 6.4 and dd will be on bang on 4, give or take a few days. I'm worried I won't cope or I won't be able to give the big two the attention they need. I've been losing my patience with ds the last few days, he has been truly foul! Lovely this morning though, I will miss him today, I haven't really been away from him for 6 weeks.

Ice I reckon lyra is on the money there. I've certainly had 'what are we doing' flashes that have lasted a day or two. If you've been feeling that way for a while or you do feel that way for a while, chat to your GP or midwife. Everyone I know has had this feeling at some point but if it carries on then don't feel guilty, speak to someone about it. No one will judge you x

Jol I got two for my £5. Think it just depends on your hospital.

Thanks everyone, do you get to hear the heartbeat at 12 weeks? Hope so!

I also watched the midwives last night, OH and I slightly traumatised at the rate that one of the babies shot out (this will be our first) OH lovingly described it as being like a sausage meat machine when it's pumping out the meet too fast?! cheers for that love

Sorry, probably too early for comments like that

Its because its on heat sensitive paper Jolls it will ruin it if you try to photocopy!

I'm not sure about the paying thing. I got 6 different scan pictures and didn't have to pay for anything. I live in Scotland though, most NHS things are free!

Maybe give them a wee phone to check?

We got one at £3 but they said we pay next time...

Happy birthday Lyra and good luck for your scan Brighton

Thanks Rock Lyra Mummy and Lottie. Just having a wobble. Not a feeling I have all the time, just now and then. I think it hasn't helped that I was expecting to hate leaving DS when I went back to work but I've loved it (well, not the leaving him, but the being back at work). He's taken to nursery well and I've enjoyed being a professional person again. Maybe I need to see (and smell!) some beautiful newborns to get me feeling all broody!

Sorry, bit self absorbed there - happy birthday Lyra

Jolls the photo paper is poor quality, and our 18 month old pics of DS are now yellowed and faded. So it's a good idea to take a photo of the pic anyway, to keep it. Also, our families are not local so the best way for us to give them a copy was to email it to them. I showed people the pic on my phone didn't want their grubby hands on the actual photo
HTH x

Happy birthday lyra & good luck brighton! don't think we've got that many scans left now have we? still room for twins

mtb that's brilliant haha!

frank thats another theory thats meant to mean boy isn't it haha? my leg hair is growing much much slower than usual though, which is very weird.

also hot amazing about doppler and the stock coming in today! let us know how you get on!

ice i think thats normal isn't it - this is my first so i don't know about your situation but I've been wobbling about if I'm doing the right thing, such a huge huge thing i think its more normal to wobble than not!

Frank Grey Mine seems to have slowed down on my legs too but my eyebrows have a life of their own!

Note to self: don't photocopy the baby

The family will get photos of the pic. Pretty sure the originals will be dog eared in a week anyway...I'll be constantly staring at it trying to associate it with my own womb lol.

Mine have also slowed but my head hair still malting at a great rate and I need to tackle my tache soon before I look like a circus sideshow.

Pram-wise, I have my heart set on a three wheeler as I harbour running ambitions (nice to have the option) -anyone got any experience or tips?

My leg hair growth has slowed down but my head hair is looking distinctly mane like. When I was pregnant with dd my already thick hair thickened up to ridiculous proportions, and I didn't lose it till she was about 2!

I scanned my scan photo(!) into the computer. It seems fine...

Iv got my scan tomorrow aswel jol. What have you got yours?
My scan pics from my ds who is 5n half are still perfect. We have kept them in a special photo album that has no plastic as that deteriates them aswel. I have to pay £5 for 1 or £10 for 3.

I'm glad I took today off work. I spewed up breakfast . Oh whyyyy has the puking come back??

Fox Scanning is okay, its photocopying that damages them.

My Doppler works!! I thought I might struggle to find the heartbeat because I am a bit of a chunky monkey, but it was loud and clear

I was so adamant I wasn't going to get a Doppler. But you lot are swaying me......

Maybe My DP is gutted he can't make our extra scan tomorrow. This way he can hear the heartbeat and won't be feeling so left out.

If you can trust yourself not to go bonkers listening in every 2 mins then I would get one!
