September 2014 - where we enjoy happy scans and a healthy 2nd trimester

[TheOnlySeven]

Welcome all regulars, lurkers and anyone else who wants to enjoy a positive pregnancy :)

Thank you blossom its horrible.
Currently sat in emergency dentists as I dont have one (my last dentist really messed my teeth up and I was petrified of going back)

And please tell me more on this skull theory hmmm

Rockin I need to pee pretty much as soon as I get into bed, even if I've just been. Sometimes I think it's psychological so I force myself to go to sleep, then wake up in the night but can never be bothered to get up, so finally in the morning I am actually bursting it's almost painful. Doesn't help that my bathroom is downstairs at the back if the house either. I have pretty good bladder control...... For now

I didn't need to pee at all in the night in my first trimester but now that I'm in my second I need to a heck of a lot more. Whats going on there?! I will be sat on the loo permanently at this rate in the third trimester lol.

Congrats oxlady on your scan :)

Thanks Seven, White and Topmammy! I get up once in the night to go for pee even if I go just before bed. Has anybody suffered from sciatica during pregnancy? Never suffered before but really suffering today. Any tips on easing the pain as I can't take ibuprofen?

isitme does this link work?

blossom I have this one, I'd definitely recommend it. They also do one for homebirths.

thanks hippyjess

thanks seven, that's a bargain too. I think I might have to give that a go!

Ive eaten an entire easter egg today opps

Just as well Ive finally ordered myself some mat' jeans, yay!

Just had my scan and I have one very wriggly baby - the sonographer couldn't get it into the right position to do the nuchal test at all. Have some pics but they are very grainy! Measured 12+5 so my due date was exactly spot on at 10 Sep.

Couldn't believe how gruff and unpersonable the sonographer was to me and DH though. She barely said two words to us the whole time we were in there unless it was to get me to move!

Yay more happy scan news

But sorry the sonographer was miserable.

2 more sleeps until my 12 week nuchal scan. Exciting!

i week today fro mine. HURRY UP!!!

Mine is on Thursday and I'm veering wildly between excited and terrified!

Congrats cenadi and oxlady!

cenadi lovely news! I found my sonographer very non committal when I asked anything but otherwise alright.

hippyjess that was what I was like. I was awake at 2am the night before worrying/hoping/worrying/terrified etc. So I suspect its quite normal

lots of luck to those with upcoming scans xx

Another good scan here - although like Cenadi, a very fidgety baby combined with my tilted uterus meant that they couldn't do the nuchal fold. I have been told I can have the quadruple blood test at my next midwife appointment instead - anyone know anything about that and how much less accurate it is? I'm not fussed enough about having the test at all to risk a wildly inaccurate result that might unnecessarily worry me for rest of the pregnancy, iyswim.

Cenadi thats my ds1 birthday

Im back from dentist
prev dentist fucked filling up and exposed my nerve and thats why ive been getting 1 sided pain in skull. Nevee thought anything of it! Shes cleaned it up and put some meds on and a temp filling if it plays up again she wants it out or root canal. She said best to wait but if it hurts come back. She was luurrvvlly. Currently in no pain and numbness is nealry gone!

Will check the link thank you x

isitme glad your feeling a bit better and have a better dentist!

Ive just tried to order a maternity top from la redoute, I have a code for £15 off plus free delivery and of course the one item I want is not included in the offer!! There's no way Im paying full price for it!

beckworth I am having the quad as well as like you the baby would not stay still and/or in position. I was told that the accuracy of the quad was about 76% compared to 85% for the combined test so not as great but not wildly inaccurate...

isitme1 you poor thing. I hope that you are better now.

Thank you both with new filling
I feel sooo much more human now lol.
I went into new look too have a peek at their maternity collection but think I might just stick to maxi dresses once im bigger as I know not much else will fit me.
Like I said before nearly 9lb baby+water+placenta as big maybe bigger than baby= 1 hell of a bump! Doesn't make it easy when you have a big arse too

Ooo I remember what I was going to add!
Dorothy perkins have a maternity section and its mamalicious clothing at sale prices! There's a lovely blue dress on there that im going to go for!

isitme glad your feeling better, i should probably get a check up at the dentist too.....next week

glad the scans are going well. i too am going from fear to excitement at the thought of my scan.

Thank you rockin x
ps its 20% until midnight with offer code

Hello all, got out of bed but was late for work

But got sent home as there ia a child with mumps and I need to check I definitely have immunity before I return as it cause miscarriage! So off work for now!

Also got my booking in for 14th of March, I'll be 12+1 hope there will be a quick turn around for the scan!

Glad to hear, so many of you are having wonderful scans.

To the poster with sciatica I can't scroll back, would a heat pack work or am i just crazy!

Thank you for the well wishes iatesomeofthepies
I went for my harmony test today my dates have been pushed back a week so I've got to go back.
I hadn't read before about hospitals not doing the nuchal if the baby's not cooperating Its terrible not to try again and just leave you hanging
Isitme1 glad your teeth were sorted out I'm another one in agony I'm going tomorrow I think it will need pulling out
