The maybies are keeping a close eye on their fruit - due May 14

[CbeebiesIsMyLife]

Will this do? I bet someone's beat me to it now!

Ack, it was denial all along! Going for scan in 45 minutes and feel like a teeming ball of anxiety!!!

Cbeebies, after a year and a half of a lingering injury and having put way too much trust in HCPs who said everything was under control, I am a huge supporter of trusting your instincts and finding the right person to work with you on your medical care. Good luck.

SCAN RESULTS KLAXON!

All good, dates on the nose 13 weeks and 2 days today. Baby wriggling around and my other half utterly delighted - maybe slightly more than me :-/

So, I think the MS is gone. I'm back to only needing 7 hours sleep again which is a relief.

Yay glad all is well rebecca I don't think I could function with just 7 hours sleep before being pregnant!

Ha mum - Well, I don't need much... but when I got pregnant it was the first symptom for me. I went from 7 hours sleep to 12 with a hour long nap in the middle of the day pretty much overnight. I'm glad to be rid of that exhaustion for a while.

And Cbeebies you make sure you push for what you need!

Not sure we'll be going swimming tonight... only just put dinner in, won't be ready until 7... meant to be going swimming at half 7

Hurrah for the scan results Rebecca, and good luck with everything Elastigrrl. Come back and tell us how amazing it was. Can't wait for my next scan, it's so incredible to see.

Great news rebecca :)

Hey hey hey! All is well with our little lime! S/he wiggled like a champ. Tears trailing down my face the whole time

Thanks for the support! Delighted for you too Rebecca.

Hi elast glad all is well with bubs

Get used to the tears, our dd2 (age 3) had a nightmare last night and I woke to the sound of petrified breathing, she was standing next to my side of the bed in a state of terror. I havent cried so long and hard as I did last night.

ham the good news is your aware of it. It does sound hormone driven, the homeopath sounds like a good idea.
I've heard of a few who have had it but its sorted out by the last trimester as hormones settle down or change.
We are already 1/3 of the way through I know it seems long (I panic how long in the middle of the night with no sleep) but we are ploughing on. Be gentle with yourself.

Great scan news today ladies!

Hugs all around to those who need them and to those who don't but just fancy one anyway

Wonder how thistle is being thinking of her since her last post

On a totally random note I'm having sausages, sliced potatoes and onions all baked in the oven for tea and I can't wait to eat it as it smells delicious! Been ages since I actually looked forward to eating a meal

I have scan news too!

Everything looks great and healthy but baby was not behaving and wasn't in a good position so she couldn't do the nuchal test and couldn't get a very clear photo, so I've got another scan booked for next week to do the test buffs he did say it looks fine by sight.

Big relief on my part, DP was grinning like mad all the way home.

Congrats to todays other scanees and everyone else

Loads of scans today! Congratulations all round - very happy to hear that all was well. It's such a relief isn't it.

I think I've been overdoing it a bit - was out every night last night and was out late with work Mon and Tues this week, when I woke up this morning I felt dreadful and thought I was getting the flu. Have spent the whole day in bed and think I am fighting it off thankfully. Obviously can't rush around as much as I'm used to doing! Just so glad the MS has gone.

All your talk of casseroles and sausages has made me hungry! We've got no food in though and DH is out. Wonder what I can cobble together from the cupboard!

Good news about the scans today!

Also, I'm sorry some are feeling under the weather. pregnancy seems to magnify everything.

I'm just checking in really. I'm knackered after work, despite getting about 11 hours sleep last night! Also I have zero appetite today. Might just have an early night with a book or Facebook

Yay! for good scan news.

Feeling a bit down this evening. Feel like OH is totally uninterested in everything to do with the baby. Trying to talk about names and he's just not interested at all. I think he just wants to carry on being just a student am I going to have to put up with this when it's born too?

Every week my hubby puts on fb his weekly countdown. Today it was 15 weeks today! 25 ish to go

Evening all
Has anyone else had a pregnancy risk assessment at work?
After my bleed, the midwife mentioned it but work looked confused when I said about it.
Was my midwife just being cautious or should I push for one?

16 + 1

Ah congrats on all the scan results

For those who aren't feeling too great, I hope you turn a corner soon

Hi psynl, it's a legal requirement that your work do one! Google it and print off the relevant legislation. Try the gov website.
Moomin, I'm pretty uninterested in talking about names or buying stuff or baby planning. Doesn't mean I'm not interested in baby so don't worry too much. How long have you and your OH been together?

It'll be three years on New Year's Eve.

He just seems uninterested in general

moomin - I don't think men "get" it as much as the woman does as you're the one who has it growing inside you! Hopefully when you get closer to having it he'll realise how exciting it all is my dp is not overly interested (also unplanned pregnancy) and I am usually the one who starts baby related chats. I'm glad I have this forum as just reading it gives me my fill of baby stuff so I don't have to talk to him about it all the time. It might just seem so far away for him right now

Great scan news everyone!! Mine is the day after tomorrow!! eeek! yay! Can't wait to get first glimpse of our baby and finally tell my parents!

Thanks so much ladies for the congrats, and back at the rest of you with scans today.

moomin, I'm told many if not most men struggle to connect with the whole idea more than we do (not knowing what it's like to grow a little human is one of the many reasons I don't envy the dudes). You are totally within your rights to wish he was more engaged. But I think this is a dynamic many couples experience. I can't offer personal advice but what I've heard works is to give them time and space but do not let them disengage entirely. I agree with dobedobedo, it is probably not that important that you discuss names and consumer goods just yet, but he should be broadly interested in the big stuff (scans, medical decisions, financial plans etc). In other words, I have heard it works best to try not to get emotional with them but do explain it is important they know what is going on and are involved in the key decisions - it is his baby as much as yours! Not to mention that you need support. Feel free to ignore if this doesn't fit your situation, just my tuppence.

Good luck moobaloo :)

Ack, sorry for the multi-posts, but forgot to say mumof2: you poor thing with the tears last night. It must be like having multiple hearts to feel broken! I remember Michelle Obama once being asked how she was, and replying 'I'm only ever as happy as my most sad child.' What a mum!
