Thanks Cbeebies x

Good luck blue!

mumof2 Tiffany! definitely

I think my fat is poking more forwards than it was, but I can't really remember what I looked like before anyway my jeans cut into me and dresses that fitted flatteringly now show a bulge! I might be mostly the carbs I have stuffed myself with though

11+1 I now have a lime sized baby~!

Thank you for input littlebairn and moobaloo :)

blue good luck today.

moo I think most of my bump is carb induced too :(

Good luck today Blue. What time is your scan? We will be thinking of you.

Good luck blue

I call my bump my pie baby

Been reading but not really posting as I'm struggling to stay positive at the minute

I don't feel at all pregnant and my symptoms have all but disappeared, I'm only 10+2 and my scan is not until 20th. I did have an early scan but turned out to be really early (7+6) so really paranoid that I've had a mmc.

I will still be following where everyone's at and will probably get more involved again in a few weeks.

It's hard reading about everyone being so far along in comparison. I am happy for everyone but I'm finding it tough to post happy responses when I just want to scream 'feck off with your 12, 13, 14 weeks' . I know it's a bit irrational and I don't want to upset anyone with this post I just needed to say it. Sorry. Suppose what it boils down to is just being

So...
Congrats to all who've had lovely scan news, who are getting bumps and excitedly buying things and I'll 'speak' to you all in a few weeks.

Good luck blue

Stay positive Squiffie. I had my first scan at 7+6 when I should have been 12 weeks by dates. Still a wriggly person in there at 12+6

Aww squiffy I know how you feel. I went for a 12 week scan only to discover I was 7+4. Nothing like dragging the first trimester out to make it seem even longer. Just take your time and I'm sure everything is fine.

I ordered some new look maternity work trousers. Holy hell, torture trousers more like. The under the bump bit came up way too high and was tight as hell. If I pushed it down, the trousers started to fall down, and they were quite saggy at the arse and hips. I've been in pain all morning wearing them! Finally had to get dh to bring me home to get changed. They'll be sent straight back!

Can anyone recommend where I'd get some decent maternity business wear?

Good luck today blue and Squiffy stay positive, look forward to hearing from you again after the scan

no bump here (13+1 according to measurements on scan) but definitely increasing in girth - but all the way round so probably just the effects of too much

Did make it out for a run today - first time for a few weeks due to complete exhaustion! any other runners here?

Afternoon everyone. I've been lurking most days but not posting much.
All is going well, MS seems to have gone and I have my scan on the 13th.

I'm off to Italy for the weekend on Friday though bit gutted I can't sample the wine!

Ah Squiffe hope that you are feeling better soon. I felt exactly the same way when I was 10 weeks. I had barely any symptoms to start with and they started reducing at 10 weeks and I was so spooked in case something had gone wrong. It hadn't and everything was fine, the symptoms were just reducing naturally.

I agree that it seems like the chattier of us amongst this thread seem to be further on and closer to 14/15 weeks, but from the stats thread all in all there is a good spread and it's pretty equal with there being just as many due at the end of the month as there are at the start.

Once you have your scan the time will start to go much quicker. If you are really worrying could you arrange another early scan? Might be worthwhile googling "free early scan" that's how I found out about the charity who offer free scans in Newcastle. I had mine at 11 weeks, only a week before my 12 week NHS scan, but I was so pleased I did, after I had it I felt like I could relax and stop worrying.

squiffie I understand completely where you are coming from that's how i was until I had scan. Can you not have a private scan to put your mind at rest? Xx

Saw its little heart beating away. It waved at us too :-) she put me as 10 weeks 3 days but I think im closer to 11. I knew I wasn't too go by lmp which would have made me 12 +4. The pics are really blurry as every time she got a clear picture and moved to press print it blurred lol xx

dobe I got maternity trousers from Gap, they are sort of medium rise ones which I think will go under bump as I get bigger. Comfiest things I have ever worn to work I think, I love them!

He was a proper little wriggler too. think we're going to have our hands full lol xx

great news blue!

Congratulations blue

Thanks Bush and snoozy x

Congrats blue :)

bushprincess I really used to enjoy running - did the Birmingham half marathon in 2012 for Birmingham Children's Hospital, but I got shin splints and also, since then my ankle hasn't been quite right - I struggle to run on it. Plus lately I haven't felt like running at all. I stick to swimming now :)

Congrats on the scan bluestone and anyone else I've missed. Sorry you're feeling down squiffie

Yea blue, glad things were good x

shin splints ... and a bad ankle ouch, poor you.... running can do some damage (I worry about my knees all the time!) Does sound like swimming's definitely the best for you moominhope you're enjoying it! (I also love swimming and train with a triathlon group 3x per week when I'm in Harare)...

To be honest the exhaustion of the last month had put me off running completely but this morning just felt like normal again... fingers crossed I'll keep going for a while, would be great to hear how other runners are getting on, especially as we do start to get bigger!! I imagine my re-kindled love will fade quickly when the bump starts to bounce!!

ham you mentioned running with a buggy - when your MS is finally over will you be running whilst pg or will you get back into it after baby arrives?

hope everyone has a good evening!

Congrats blue great news :)

Hope your feeling better soon squiffie think I was around 7 or 8 weeks when all my symptoms started disappearing and I panicked too! It's so hard when you can't just take a look in there and see what's happening! Big hugs x

Wanted to get a new carpet for the lounge yesterday, pulled the old one up and found beautiful floorboards underneath. Got up this morning ready to sand them down and varnish them and DP put a big fat stop to it, I'm gutted now would of looked so nice, now he's getting the silent treatment

I finally had my first scan today, it went really well, everything's developing as it should, oh and it's twins!
