August 2014 - 12 week scans and holding hands!

[BunnyBaby]

Hello everyone, off we go again...

Mssleepy - I have been considering private gender scan as I have no patience what so ever. However DH says no way and that 7 weeks is nothing. Hmm.

I have already convinced myself that baby is a boy after my scan today, it just looks like a boy! I know I sound mad. I already have a DD, this one just seems so different.

Been googling the 'nub theory' half the night too.

I was also googling nub theory last night?! Think you'd have to be very fortunate to get the right angle to tell! Did you get the angle?

I'm not sure it's so hard to tell, and there's that many images on the internet. There is a very nub looking feature on the scan pic, but with my level of knowledge it could easily be a leg!

The place next to where I live is £79, which I know I could spend on much better things but... I still totally want the scan : ) I just don't know how reliable it would be...

Never heard of nub theory before - now very intrigued!

So glad to see so many lovely posts today of all the ppl having scans.

Yes we will try again for dc3 but due to lots of other things going on this year thing we r best leaving it until summer before we try, my sister is getting married in Nov so if i caught straight away there would b a chance of me either being a very heavily pregnant bridesmaid or slipping out to hospital mid-wedding lol.

Its my 30th on 1st August so mite start trying again from then.

Would it b weird if i joined the fb group? B nice to see who you lovely ladies r and i can inteoduce myself properly. (i understand if u think its weird as i'm not in the august club nemore)

X x

Jazzy i don't think it's weird and I've never (touch wood) had a miscarriage so I have no idea how you/I would feel if I did have one. I would just say do whatever feels kindest to you, if you think it'll help then go ahead but just be careful that it isn't dragging you down thinking of what ifs etc/it become a constant reminder. Like I say I have never had a mc/mmc so obviously I don't know how you feel so do whatever you feel best

And great news on all the scans ladies. Been feeling quite anxious today and bless dh he said book another private scan then but tbh I think I needed that to realise I was being stupid. I don't think it would give me any more reassurance. 12 weeks is that date that I think I'll feel more relaxed if all goes well with the scan and it's only just only 2 weeks away and I just need to be bloody patient! Gave myself a little (mental) slap!!

I'm just happy for you all, i hav got 2 other dc's so know what its like at each stage etc, and might still b able to join in with discussions etc. Its more to see how you all progress and to share any further news if I get ne.

Mite sound weird as obviously u all know whats happened to me and yes i'm upset but i'm not jealous of anyone else with bumps etc, its not effected me like that. x

I have one dd and I had been ttc for quite a while (over a year) for this bfp I found it quite difficult internally with other peoples bfp's new babies etc. never ever showed it not even to dh and I was still super happy for them just a little sad for me iyswim. I'm not really sure what that has to do with it but I just think from my point of view I would have found keeping up with the thread difficult but as I said I'm probably not as strong as you! It's lovely that you are so happy for everyone and if you're enjoying it then I don't think it's weird and you shouldn't stop, I think you should do whatever makes you happy

Maybe i'm not quiet ready to let go yet, obviously not pretending everythin is ok but i'm honestly not jealous, a friend actually had her first scan on monday at approx the same time i had mine and found out the news, she didnt want to tell me she was pregnant when i'd told ppl (via fb) i'd had a Mmc thinking i'd b upset and she couldnt understand how i could b happy for her when i'm going through the loss.

I've got to go back in nxt wed for further tests and scans to make sure i'm healed so maybe when i get the negative results pt result confirmed i will feel differently.

Mite try and re frame from logging in over the weekend.. Just nice to see ppl having happier experiences than me.

Great news on all the positive scans x

good morning, great news on all the scans and glad all has settled now Lucy..

jazzy.it would be lovely for you to keep in touch.

Great news on the scans secretly and baby :) glad all is well - don't worry about dates moving either, I'm sure it's all guess work by them at times and normally move you again at 12 wks!!!

No fresh bleeding so fingers crossed its def gone, and feeling pretty sicky this morning so symptoms are still there...I hope!! My little DS is poorly though had a raging temp in the night so I'm in a house of germs!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend :) can't wait to hear scan news Monday!

Ps - jazzy I don't think it's wierd joining fb either.... :) x

I have a BBQ to go to today (my nans 80th) and am dreading it... my first cousin is also pregnant (also with her 3rd) but about 6weeks ahead of me and also started off a lot slimmer, I know it shouldn't bother me but I just know what my big fat Greek family is like and it will be all the comparisons between us... "oh mszeen you are so much bigger than her" , "why you get so fat so quick?", "your cousin she so little belly you must have twins or eat too much?".... don't get me wrong nothing is ever said in a mean way it's just Greeks for some reason don't know how to hold back when it comes to their family.. they think it they say it.

hopefully it won't happen or won't happen too much or hopefully my cousin is much bigger than me so we look the right dates apart

oh I don't know. don't know why it bothers me so much... need to just get over it I spose.

Will catch up properly later as its my bday! Eek 30! But thank you girls!

Awww happy 30th birthday baby have a fab day!!!

Happy birthday, baby! What are you doing for it?

Lucy, that's great news re no more bleeding.

Jazzy, PM me your real name / email address if you want to join the Facebook group. :-)

Please...someone remind me who's going for a scan today!

Yay - great news on scans, and happy birthday!

Jen - no objection to catching up with you here at all, I'm not on FB group as like MN anonymous. We're all part of this trip together and have supported each other, I'd be sad not to hear from you, and to hear your news in the future, we're a diverse bunch but seem to have lots of different experiences of different things. Life is so unpredictable, this thread shows that but we are a little gang together Xxx

Googling early pregnancy scans. Found a place I could go to tomorrow. Someone talk some sense into me please! I'm just feeling so anxious this morning, I don't really know why. I just look at my tummy and in a morning it looks so flat and normal and I can't believe there might actually be a grapefruit sized womb and grape sized baby in it...

I did exactly the same ms sleepy. I found one I could have tomorrow and dh even said yeah book it. However I knew/know I'm being silly. It won't make 12 weeks come any quicker and I think if it was alright id still worry that something may go wrong over next two weeks. I've already paid for one scan (£100) I'd be silly to do it again with only 2 weeks to go... So tempting though but just going to slap myself and tell myself that all being well 9 months is a long time and I need to learn to be patient!! How long have you got until 12 week scan??

Happy birthday baby spice

And great news on bleeding Lucy

Happy birthday, babyspice! Hope you have a lovely day.

Mszeen, perhaps you should do a bingo card of all the phrases you expect to hear, and if you get ten then award yourself something you have been coveting for a while? That way every time you hear such a phrase, you will be able to think you're one step closer to the treat!?

Mssleepyhead, do whatever is going to ease your mind. But just to let you know, with my first pregnancy my stomach was as flat as a pancake in the mornings far beyond the 12 week point. I got married at 11am when I was 16 weeks, fairly clingy dress, and no one knew a thing about it until my husband announced it in his speech.

Mssleepyhead, if it'd help you feel better and you can afford it, go for it! :-)

I've no idea how I've got this far without a scan...I am much more nervous about Monday though. Because I'd had an 8 week scan last time I was ok.

Owl, your DH is lovely! I'd say the sane as to Ms. Though would you prefer to save the money and see your baby again later on? :-)

Tbh hungry I just think I'm being silly even contemplating it...and maybe I'll make 12 week scan less special?! It was so special with dd...I don't know I'm driving myself crazy!!!
