zing yes I got my booking appointment by phone a few weeks ago and then at my booking appointment they gave me my scan date.

ZingSweetPea · 05/12/2013 10:23

round here we get both dates in the post (in one envelope) - so when I'll see MW for booking in app I'd know scan date already.

and they normally arrive around a few weeks after GP visit to give you time to rearrange apps if needed.
I wouldn't normally be this impatient, but I'm 11weeks on the 23rd , which is the beginning of the two weeks DH & kids are home, so we want to plan our time.

on the 6th Jan I'll be 13 weeks and they all go back to school & work I just want scan be done by then.it should be.

I'm calling hospital now. I had enough

AuntieMaggie · 05/12/2013 10:33

Thanks museum that helps :) I did it at work so put off anyone taking to get it checked at the time as I didn't want them to find out about the pregnancy.

I feel really vunerable and tearful. DPs parents are on at him to visit before xmas but I don't want him to as it means leaving me on my own and taking our one car with him as they live abroad. I really don't want him to go and feel like he should stay with me given the circumstances (especially now I've done my ankle) but feel guilty about him not seeing his parents :(

ZingSweetPea · 05/12/2013 10:49

just talked to hospital - she confirmed that GP's letter arrived, so that's a good start.

she also explained that it won't be before the 29th as they stick to 12-13 weeks now.
so the earliest will be Monday the 30th and very likely sometime that week.
small chance of the 6th which I'd rather not and we got dentist booked for all the boys on the 2nd at 4pm which I won't change.

she said I should receive the apps by the end of next week - if not I should call again.

I can't believe how impatient I'm about this!

ismarah · 05/12/2013 10:52

AuntieM Why would he go visit his parents over christmas, knowing you'd find it so hard to go and knowing you're pregnant and with an additional dodgy ankle? That doesn't seem the most supportive thing he could do IMO. I appreciate that he wants to see his parents but if they are more mobile than you are, they should come to you and stay in a hotel nearby.

I feel a bit better now after last nights drama. My mum and I don't get along very well sometimes and sometimes I'd quite like to not see her anymore, to be brutally honest. I keep trying though as she's the only biological parent I an in touch with. She had me very young and I was mostly brought up by my grandparents. I know her motivation for the fucking talk comes from a good place really but she raises her voice and keeps interrupting me to tell me I'm wrong, so it's very confrontational. She doesn't understand why it's such a taboo for me to talk about and always has been. She truly honestly thinks I should have children for the sake of the family and to make other people happy. We will never see eye to eye. Sad

Safyre · 05/12/2013 11:15

Well, I think I am joining this bus too.

After feeling terrible all week I finally gave in and tested this morning - convinced it would be negative because I am way overweight and was told I wouldn't conceive at this weight before. And it wasn't. So I had to wake DH up at 5:45 this morning to break the news!

Currently panicking massively because DS is only almost 15m, so will be 22m when the baby arrives. Also panicking about my weight (I put on 5stone by the time I was 9m with DS, and I'm starting from 1.5stones higher this time), about how we are going to manage with the new house we are moving into next summer, how we are going to manage with 2 under 2, and about a million other things.

Phoning for an appointment with the midwife tomorrow, but I think I'm due round about 25th - last AF was in Oct, and I only had a day of spotting about 3 weeks later which I am determinedly not counting until someone tells me I'm 3 weeks further back than I thought!

AuntieMaggie · 05/12/2013 12:20

ismarah They were here in Sept and said at the time about us both going over before xmas but there is no way I can take the time off and DP has been putting it off and they're pressuring him about going. He's an only child and its hard for him only seeing them a couple of times a year (despite them choosing to move abroad and they should've seen this happening but they don't get that we have limited leave we can take both working stressful long hour jobs). I don't think he's deliberately not being supportive I just think he's feeling in the middle.

Welcome safyre

dollydaydream27 · 05/12/2013 12:25

Just caught up with this thread !
Received my scan date this morning it's on New Year's Eve Grin I'm so excited and scared at the same time. I'm just praying everything is ok . Was thinking about having a scan early before Xmas but decided against it and am waiting for this one . 26 days and counting !! Will be 12 weeks exactly .

jaykay987 · 05/12/2013 13:13

ooh......scan dates coming through is exciting!

I understand why you're anxious zing. I have booked a 10w and 12w private scan (as part of getting harmony) however my mw said she would still prefer me to go for the 12w scan at the hospital I am booked into. I saw here two weeks ago tomorrow and still no date in the post. It si really making me anxious! I just want to be able to plan my time and work out if I need time off work or not.
So there's no anxiety at this stage about the baby - as I know I will see if everything is ok or not on Tuesday - but not havng date when I know I should be getting one is really irritating me!
(there really is no reasoning with me now I am pregnant!)

ZingSweetPea · 05/12/2013 13:19

DH is pissing me off big time. DS2 was sick in the night but DH decided there's no point cleaning out the bucket as he might be sick again.

I was totally surprised to find the bucket..well...used and it caught me unawares.
I tried to clean up but I almost puked.
and now he's frying something with the kitchen door open - I shouted at him to shut the door so the house doesn't stink of oil...Angry

he is a good'un, but sometimes I just want to throw shoes at him

AuntieMaggie · 05/12/2013 13:51

he is a good'un, but sometimes I just want to throw shoes at him pretty much sums up how I feel about DP sometimes Grin

DoctorDonnaNoble · 05/12/2013 17:30

Argh! I cannot believe how tender and sore my boobs are today! Nausea's back as well. And I really struggled to think what I wanted for dinner - I seem to have gone off garlic as well.
Toffee Nut Lattes in Starbucks on an after school date with DH on the other hand? Yum.

ZingSweetPea · 05/12/2013 17:55

it's DS3'S birthday and we are having Chinese takeaway. with grandparents.
I'm so worried that I'll be sick.....

repeat in 9 days for DS4's birthday.
oh boy

MrsA2 · 05/12/2013 18:14

Just popping in to say Doctor I've been thinking of you all week and hope you get great news tomorrow. Also Hayley I think you were going back soon to check on the twins? Best of luck.

I'm ok, slightly less shattered this week actually (I'm 9w5). I'm seeing my sister tomorrow night so telling her the news then, very excited about that. She was worrying about taxis for a dinner out - well given that I'm not drinking we'll be fine there!

In other news all I do is eat and I am putting on weight too quickly! Like Jaykay said I have a noticeable belly by the end of each day. I'm sure it's just excess food and bloating but it's hard to hide already!

DoctorDonnaNoble · 05/12/2013 18:47

Actually looking forward to my chicken tikka biryani for dinner tonight. DH managed to switch from a night to a half night so he'll be back about 2am. I'm having a lie in and then my mum is coming to take us to the hospital. Feeling ok at the moment. Whatever happens we'll get through it and the worst that can happen is we have to wait a few more months. There are so many people here who've had a longer and more dramatic journey than me and I'm actually feeling humble that so many of you have popped in to wish me luck. Thank you. Whatever happens you've made this much easier. Love you all! Smile

Sparky321 · 05/12/2013 19:07

Doctor just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow I have everything crossed for you. Hope you get some sleep tonight. I'll be thinking of you at 9.50 really hope they are on time for you.

ItsAlwaysBetterOnHoliday · 05/12/2013 19:14

Good luck for tomorrow, Doctor!
(Every time I read your name now I picture Catherine Tate - she's one of my favourite companions though :) )

I don't fancy any food at the moment. It's a bit depressing, I usually really enjoy food!

ItsAlwaysBetterOnHoliday · 05/12/2013 19:33

Although I suddenly have a massive craving for chip shop chips. Cos that's a healthy dinner option...

DoctorDonnaNoble · 05/12/2013 19:38

I know that feeling!Grin

ItsAlwaysBetterOnHoliday · 05/12/2013 19:41

DH has just phoned and said he will bring me chips as long as I also eat an apple :)

I'm not sure we're quite grown up enough yet to be parents.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 05/12/2013 19:48

:-) my DH does things like that too.

SmallOlympianBear · 05/12/2013 19:53

Just popping in to say good luck for your scan tomorrow, DrDonna. I really hope you have some good news.

Trying to summon the energy to open the laptop and finish the work I didnt manage to get done today, now that I have settled DD. Yawn! I know you shouldn't wish time away and I know that it's a sign that things are hopefully progressing, but I can't wait till this tired, nauseous cloud finally buggers off :)

AuntieMaggie · 05/12/2013 19:58

Well I got my ankle checked out... they said they would normally xray but because I'm pregnant they wouldn't do it. I got all emotional and cried :(

zing how the feck do you go through all this worry and stuff so many times?

DoctorDonnaNoble · 05/12/2013 20:01

I think Zing may actually have superpowers you know! Grin
