Hello crazylady2013, SNAP! also 7+2, but due date 15 Aug DC#1 age 35. Lucky you, enjoy the absence of MS.
So odd even being on this forum and talking about it, likewise, I can't believe its real. Absolutely petrifying if you ask me, husband and i have no idea why we want to disrupt our lives!

HungryHorace · 31/12/2013 14:44

I'm so sorry, Itchy. I really hope you get pregnant again as soon as possible and have a lovely, healthy pregnancy.

crazylady2013 · 31/12/2013 14:49

Hi ClarissaG. I understand being petrified. I'm constantly swinging from being excited to wondering why the hell we have done this Wink . Glad to have a buddy. Good luck.

Feeling I rang dr toda also, midwife rang me back this afternoon. Booking in app for Sunday!! And she's going to send my form off for scan. I was totally shocked as she remembered me from last pregnancy 6 years ago. Feel better now she's booked.
Feeling a bit yuck today. Sorting out my salon. Carried a heavy chair and then regretted it afterwards. Stupid thing to do!!!

babyspice2501 · 31/12/2013 14:58

Lucyfluff I drink loads too and I have had tiny bumps all the way through my previous 2 pregnancy's but both weighed a very healthy weight when born!

My god I cant believe how long I have to wait for a scan! Im only 5 weeks!!

Finnable · 31/12/2013 15:08

I'm sorry Itchy. Hoping you have a healthy PG very soon. XXX

HungryHorace · 31/12/2013 15:17

I drink loads of fluid but have bloat instantly / a massive bump!

But smaller bumps usually mean larger pelvic capacity, I think, as it means baby has more room internally before encroaching on the outside. My mum apparently had tiny bumps. My sister is another huge bump person.

Just shows how pregnancy is different for all of us. :-)

Shakshuka · 31/12/2013 15:29

itchy
so sorry to hear you sad news.

Feelingfatty · 31/12/2013 15:30

Itchy sorry to hear that Hmm wishing you all the luck for the future

Miss v, glad we both have it sorted Grin

travispickles · 31/12/2013 15:43

itchy here's to a 2014 baby for you. Anyone going out tonight? My dp and I are going out for Thai meal but hoping I can manage something! Nausea comes and goes so should be ok I hope!

HungryHorace · 31/12/2013 15:47

Ooh, I love Thai, Travis. :-)

We are staying in. I'm knackered and can't be arsed!

lucyfluff · 31/12/2013 15:53

So sorry to hear about your loss itchy Sad good luck for the future.

Im the same babyspice - two 7lb bubbas and a 6lb so all good weights :) I cant wait to have a bump!!! My MW once said that smaller ladies tend to labour easier, maybe its that reason hungry about the pelvis having more room?! If im honest I prefer labour to pregnancy as Im such a worrier all the way through!!!

Having a yummy chinese tonight so rock and roll Grin

babyspice2501 · 31/12/2013 16:04

Ah lucyfluff both mine weighed 7 pounds 14!

Oh itchy! Sorry for your loss, sending lots of hugs xxx

Nulanoo · 31/12/2013 16:07

Hello ladies, we had our first midwife appt yesterday so all feels very real! Scan booked for 22nd jan I wish it was sooner I would love to have a private one but can't really afford the £100 for it.

How's everyone going to hide the not drinking tonight?! My dp has blurted it out to some of his friends, which makes me nervous! Only my 2 closest friends know from me. We are about 9+4 but I'm convinced it's a little bit more due to having had a very short cycle the month before (23 days when normally it's 27/28)

Happy new year everyone, can't wait for 2014 to get started!!!!

Xxx

stephie0611 · 31/12/2013 16:18

Nulanoo · 31/12/2013 16:21

Just read back and read your awful news itchy, so sorry :(

BunnyBaby · 31/12/2013 16:23

Itch, so sorry to hear of your loss, lots of baby dust for 2014.

Happy New Year everyone, thinking of a New Year's curry tonight, yum!

hating this wet windy weather, don't mind the cold, kids going mad being in all day. DH due home any moment.

travispickles · 31/12/2013 16:24

To be fair we have booked for 6pm- not exactly rock n roll but mum will babysit til half seven then she is going out. And my dd can go to bed ( me not far behind!!)

eeyore2911 · 31/12/2013 16:33

I'm going to have an exciting new year... On nights again... Yesterday, tonight an tomorrow night Sad sometimes my job is a pig!!
Sorry for your loss Thanks

CountdownBegins · 31/12/2013 17:33

Itchy so sorry for your loss xx

RoseHoney · 31/12/2013 18:03

So sorry itchy.
Good luck Piña!!

I'm abit worried about the size of this one, my eldest was 10lb 5oz and a very traumatic labour, second was a really easy labour but he was still 8lb 8oz which although is tiny for me, is still quite a good size! I'm reassuring myself it should be smallish seeing as my youngest was but still slightly worried ConfusedConfused

HungryHorace · 31/12/2013 18:10

Ooh, Finn is being scanned right now. Good luck Finn! :-)

Your eldest was a bloody good size, Rose. Are they still big for their age now?

RoseHoney · 31/12/2013 18:21

Hungry, nope! Not at all!
Eldest is average sized 4 year old now.
Youngest is tiny! 2 this week and teeny 23lb and in 9-12 month clothes!

I just have big babies that either barely gain weight or slim right down after 18 months lol.

RoseHoney · 31/12/2013 18:22

Just to add, my good luck was to Finn lol. Not sure how Pina came out :/ stupid phone.

mssleepyhead · 31/12/2013 18:24

Zonked tonight. Anyone who makes it to new year tonight deserves a medal! Zzzzzzz...
