Didn't see one started, as our last thread looks full. Let's hope we are all kicking the early pregnancy sickness and starting to glow :)

Why oh why do I do this not been too sick for a few days mainly by not eating in eve when feel worst. Today had tiny portion and just been violently sick early night me thinks :-( x

Plateofcrumbs · 21/01/2014 19:42

Aww thanks for all the kind thoughts folks! T'is v lovely to have the support!

Good news and bad news - good news my insides had to a bit of a shift around since last week so CVS was a bit of a doddle. Bad news - that meant the ordinary consultant did it so I didn't get to meet the famous Professor! Harrumph!

Just got to hang on until Friday now for the results on the 'big three' and another fortnight for the rest.

Had an appointment today to discuss the ovarian cysts as well - which is all probably fine but always that lingering risk the might have to cut you open and whip your ovaries out, which is nice.

Been properly throwing up every morning this week too. Fair to say I'm not really enjoying this pregnancy stuff at the moment.

On the up side am milking it for all it's worth with DH so am just mostly loafing round on sofa eating grapes and issuing directions.

coco808 · 21/01/2014 20:01

yayyy that's great plate so glad they managed to get the sample. Enjoy your pampering now Smile

thank you for the goodluck wishes. I had my consultant appt today and we discussed birth options. She has become a consultant as of this week and was very cocky about it. She has basically fobbed me off!! he ho. Will send you a pm MrsB rather than boring everyone with the details

MrsB2013 · 21/01/2014 21:21

Glad it went well Plate Hope you get good news soon!

Sorry to hear some of you are still suffering with sickness :(

fifi669 · 21/01/2014 21:27

Had my 16 week appointment today. Wee good, BP good, baby's heartbeat nice and strong :) no more appointments til 21st for my scan..... This pregnancy marlarky takes so long!

Are my boobs supposed to be lumpier than normal?

NancyinCali · 21/01/2014 22:05

plate good news about the CVS. Let us know if you need hand-holding this week while you wait. And keep up the relaxing.

Glad to hear your appointment went well Fifi

Hi KitKat is this your 1st baby?

jaykay987 · 22/01/2014 06:04

17weeks today. ........ Still waiting for the 'glo'!

So we're going for a 'surprise'. So I am spotting all my 'gender' symptoms, but won't be able to prove them right for wrong until the summer!

With the 20week scans coming up, anyone want to share their symptoms and we can try and establish the myth from the facts?

So far I have......

  • girls take beauty, boys give. GIRL!
  • girls crave sweet, boys savoury. BOY!
  • girls cause warm body temperature. BOY!
- DH have agreed on a girls name, but not close to agreeing a boys name. BOY!
  • girls spread, boys look like a football up your jumper. GIRL!
  • post 12w heartbeat under 140 is a boy. GIRL!
  • Chinese predictor chart. Using conception date - GIRL! Using due date - BOY!

So I am confused to say the least! Grin

Just marking place on new thread.

Not feeling much of a glow yet and have had a headache since the weekend which isn't helping...

In other news I have an interview for a promotion on Friday, fingers crossed as could do with the extra money for mat leave.

MrsB2013 · 22/01/2014 09:07

We have booked a gender scan for next week! I'm too impatient to wait till the 20 week scan. DH and his family say I'm glowing, and I feel ok just tired still.

Everyone thinks I'm having a girl but I'm convinced it's a boy!!!

Not sure of all the boy/girl myths, but here's my list:

  • Bump at the front (for now) - BOY?!
  • No sickness - BOY/GIRL/JUST VERY LUCKY?!
  • Feeling warmer than usual, esp at night - GIRL?!
  • Chinese prediction chart - GIRL?!
  • Heartbeat 155 - GIRL?!
  • Eating more savoury than sweet - BOY?!
  • Early BFP - girls produce more HGC? - GIRL?!
  • We call the bump HE - GIRL?! lol

Between DH and my friends babies there are 4 girls and 1 boy! Time for another boy!

elliejjtiny · 22/01/2014 09:59

Really feeling the pregnancy rage today. We told PIL that scan was ok and now they keep going on, saying "so when are you going to tell people? (people = the other DC, DH's aunties and uncles) and "well, you're past 3 months now", what has 3 months got to do with anything? we've still got the anomaly scan and the birth to get through yet.

Also we are now halfway through week 3 of having a room redecorated that the landlord said would take a week. It's only the little hallway where we hang up coats and keep the buggy, DS2's wheelchair and various assorted junk but I'm fed up. Landlord wants to do the "grown ups living room" next (sounds very posh but it's meant to be a dining room, we just use it as a room with the computer and tv in. Children are allowed in, but no toys. We don't have many toys in their bedroom either so the playroom downstairs is like toys r us exploded in there. I know I should be grateful that we're having the house redecorated but as tenants we're not allowed to choose the carpets or colours, we just get told to clear a room and it always takes 3 times longer than they say it will.

plate glad your CVS went ok. Enjoy your pampering and good luck with the results

coco That sounds like a pain. The midwife couldn't answer any of my birth questions and said I should ask the consultant. Really hope I don't get fobbed off by them as well. Do you see the consultant again to talk about birth options or have you been referred back to midwives?

re boy/girl I'm not really showing yet (still got flab left over from DS4), craving sweet and savoury so bit of a mixture of boy/girl symptoms. I think having 4 boys already makes me more likely to be having another one though.

ismarah · 22/01/2014 10:55

Seeing a midwife this afternoon for 16w check up. I changed my appt to a different weekday and am hoping this one will be less racist / horrible in general.

We're probably going to find out the gender if we can but won't tell anyone, I think. We'll wait for the 20w scan though.

We looked into cancelling our flights some more and found we'd get half (or less) of the money back. Also found out we could spend £240 and change our flights to March so we might do that instead. Surprise holidays are best as they sneak up on you - instant fun!

Great news CVS went smoothly Plate and welcome new ladies.

mummytobejuly2014 · 22/01/2014 12:58

need some hand holding. back to EPU today at 3pm, more spotting and really bad tight pains all over belly as well as pressure low down ( almost feel as though like everything is going to fall out) 15wks+5 at the min amd belly is very noticeable for this being my first :s blood is b+ so not sure if this is any link or not

liquidstate · 22/01/2014 13:11

Sending hugs and vibes to you mummytobe

Still off sick. Have migraine today. Am convinced I am having a girl but we are not finding out so will have to wait until July to find out. we are not fussed either way except I hate pink

ZingSweetApple · 22/01/2014 13:16

mummytobe

holding your hand. good luck at appointment.
do you have bright red blood?

the cramps could be Braxton Hicks - although a bit early to feel them it's not impossible.

praying for you and baby and that everything is going to be ok.

ZingSweetApple · 22/01/2014 13:24

liquid

I was sick this morning again - more just wretching so ended up with a sore throat and painful stomach.

I'm exhausted as well.
I might have a nap

HomeIsWhereTheGinIs · 22/01/2014 13:25

Mummytobe I know it's scary but take heart, the odds of something being wrong are low. I have been spotting throughout my whole pregnancy, bright red blood every time, but each scan shows the baby is fine. Some women just spot, I'm sure you'll be one of them. Fingers crossed for you.

ComeBabyCome · 22/01/2014 15:12

Hi all
Great catching up.

Is anyone really thirsty all the time? I'm drinking tons of water and juice. Tons!

mummytobejuly2014 · 22/01/2014 16:09

thanks for the support :) scan shows everything going well. little skitter just laying there chilling out scaring us needlessly. midwife could not say what is causing the bleeds but thought it best to get it checked out each time as long as I dont turn up every few days ad thats why the epu is there. she was really lovely and took a good 5-10mins showing us was all ok

ZingSweetApple · 22/01/2014 16:12

comebaby

I have the oppisite problem. I wish I could drink tons, but it makes me feel sick.

the only thing I can drink is sweet tea, max 4 mugs a day.
and maybe a glass of Fanta if I feel really sick - to help me burp which relieves the "tension"

I'm still 9lb less than my start weight.
I can barely eat as well.

I long for the day when I can neck a pint of cold water. it's a dream

have one for me please!Grin
