August 2014 - 12 week scans and holding hands!

[BunnyBaby]

Hello everyone, off we go again...

Fluffy, I was more inclined to find out this time after not finding out with DD. But DH doesn't want to, so we won't. :-)

Aren't we lovely to them!

Would he be ok with you knowing or is it both or neither?

ugh, feeling really sick today with hunger, I ate a massive bowl of porridge at 7am and was hungry again by half nine. Have devoured a banana, some nuts and a pack of oatcakes and am already thinking it might be time to tuck into the sandwich I brought for lunch. Oh dear.... when will it end?? I must've put on at least a stone by now!

Oh and that'snotmyfigure I was feelingfatty before Xmas in case you're confused! Just realised

My scan is next Tuesday.

itssofluffy the lady I spoke to yesterday was obviously just not in the mood to look properly then! That's a relief as I really need something. Honey and lemon's working quite well too thank goodness.

Antoinette this is what I used, even says on the website it's ok for us preggers lot

Hungry he's actually suggested I find out but just not tell him! There's no way I want that kind of pressure to keep it a secret for another 20 weeks without blabbing so I just figured it'll be easier to just not know!

Ha ha ha! I know what you mean, as you'd be honour bound to discuss names you can't use!

Maybe get it put in an envelope do you can look if you decide you can't wait?!

That is fab-thank you.

I couldn't find out the name if DH didn't know it but only because I'd be living in fear of accidentally saying 'he' or 'she'!

Antoinette - I think you can use vicks vapour rub too, which might help with sleeping.

Well ladies, blubbed my head off on the way to my scan. Saw the bub. Blubbed my head off again. Blubbed on the way to work.
Stopped blubbing for now....

I was so worried they'd say it was another mmc. But no..an actual little person is in my belly!!

The sonographer didn't hide the screen from us at all. We watched as he looked for the baby, and then looked for the hearbeat. I don't know what I'd have done if he hadn't found it. I was already a nervous wreck!

Baby is perfect. Wiggly arms and legs. He/she measured spot on for my ov date, but one day out from my LMP, which makes sense given that it was a WTF cycle. New EDD of 15th Aug.

Excellent news, Ruggle! :-)

Funny how we started as due date twins but I've moved a week forwards and you a day backwards, both thanks to WTF cycles!

It's really emotional seeing baby for the first time, isn't it? Did you say you're opting out of the 20 week scan?

Brilliant news, Ruggle, congratulations!

congrats Ruggle!

Great news Ruggle!!!

Oops I pressed send too early... Seeing the little baby on the screen wriggling around makes all the sickness seem not as bad doesn't it!

Hungry I'd like to join the FB group too- I'll send you a PM :)

Ruggle congrats that's fantastic!
Owly that makes sense I remember you now!! Our due dates are v close!
Am also Team Yellow although part of me would like to know as have lots of boy clothes and Id like to be prepared if its a girl!

Fab news ruggle!! Try to relax now!!

That'snotmyfigure I thought I may have confused you! Yes we do have very close due dates!! I wonder if they'll change much after 12 week scan!

Done ironing and full house clean this morning, knackered so watching obem while dd is at school for a couple of hours

Just joined the FB group. It is going to take a while to get my head around the real names!

Really weird moment this morning - was filling in a form and there was a space for "signature of parent". There was definitely a moment of thinking why on earth they wanted my mum/dad's signature... before I realised that they meant me!

Am I the only first timer who hasn't really adjusted yet?

Ruggle, great news! Only 13 days till my scan (not that I'm counting).

Am wearing an abundance of scarved and wrappy tops, but definitely popping out at abdomen, even my male boss seemed to give my tummy a second look today. How much bigger will I be in 2 weeks?!

I've not put any weight on, so put the popping out dues to DS3 and muscle separation following EMCS with DS1 & DS2.

All you ladies with more than 1, are you popping out like me? I look now like I did at 18 weeks with DS1

So good to hear about scans going well! Bit jealous though - I'm 9+4 and the Midwife only sent off the form today so I don't even have a scan date yet. Fx it will be sooner rather than later and even more tightly crossed that all is well!

Lovely news Ruggle so pleased all is ok for you.

Bunny my scan is the same day as you! ...and although Im v slim I have popped alot sooner with this baby I could happily get my maternity jeans out from the depths of the wardrobe!!!!

Been so lazy today its not even funny...better get the hoover out before the school run I suppose!!!

Hi all great news on the positive scans, we had ours today all fine and nuchal 1.7 so decided to start telling people gradually :) good luck on all those with scans coming up. Due date changed to 10 aug :)

Jess plus that made me it does take a while to gt used to this is my dc2 so I'm used to it now!! I know it's hard with all the scans be out turn soon! I'm 11 weeks today and have scan a week on Monday (10 days??!!) finally seems to be getting closer! I'm sure you'll hear about your scan soon!!

Bunny my lower abdomen is definitely starting to pop out now like it did at more like 17/18 weeks last time! Still don't think anyone would guess unless they knew but not wearing tight clothes iyswim!
