October 2014 thread 4 - scans, scans scans!!

[bumpbangbump]

New thread ladies. I should really leave it to someone who can link the old one. Can someone add the edd list and whatnot? Or maybe we should start again now edds are changing after scan.

Bumpbangbump dc#2 EDD 2nd October

My scan went well measuring 12 weeks 3 days, so my predicted edd was correct, broke the news to work today, which went ok (iam currently on maternity so was nervous to tell them) .
Feel so much better now everything is ok and also that everyone knows now, roll in 20 week scans.

So sorry to those not feeling so good at the moment and to those who have had losses, take care ?

Yay queensanti congratulations!

Olios so sorry . Take care of yourself.

Gun I suspect the FMC equipment & technician are excellent, and would tend to go with their date for yourself. I had some experience being scanned with them during my first 2 pregnancies and was impressed with the skill & equipment (even if the second pregnancy was a miscarriage starting to happen...which is why I couldn't face going back with my 3rd pregnancy). As I understand it the NHS puts you behind? As in at 40 weeks by NHS you'd be 40+6 by FMC? This should be fine, as gives you wiggle room if you go overdue.

Me23 & Trouble as it was explained to me during IVF for my first pregnancy (I was scanned a lot during treatment and after and became great pals with my regular sonographer!), edd should only change if there's a difference of +/- 6 days. In practice, they do tend to set the edd from the scan (my own date changed by 1 day at my 6 week scan this time and I was measuring 3 days ahead at my 12 week scan on Wednesday but will keep my original due date as it's within normal limits and the 6 week scan is deemed more accurate).

Sorry olilos look after yourself.

queensanti I'm same as you-did work take it ok? Did you tell them by phone or face to face?

Hi all. Enjoyed catching up this morning. I had my first night out in ages last night and am completely knackered this morning. Actually was out until 10.30. Felt like such a rebel

Good luck to scan people today!

I'm out for a birthday tonight. Their plan is to party until 1-2am. Mine is to sneak off at 10 after the meal. Just hope I can last until then.

I'm at a wedding tomorrow. All day don't know how I'm going to last or what I'm going to wear as I can't do any zips up on my dresses. At least I'm driving so no questions about having no wine!

I remember going to a wedding at 10 weeks with DC1 and being completely shocked when I went to do my dress up that I couldn't get it done up, even though I'd lost half a stone - my boobs had clearly expanded more than I thought!

2.5 hours to go!

That's where I can't do them up magic handles. It's tight over tummy but no chance when I get to my boobs. Trouble is dd is off school poorly might have to get my mum over so I can go shopping not that I can be bothered

I have a wedding in a few weeks, no idea what I'm going to wear. Humpf. None of my pretty dresses are going to fit.
Good luck trouble!

Good luck trouble

Morning everyone. So I'm now having completely weird dreams - either super X rated or just plain weird. Last night I gave birth to a lovely baby who was already giggling and talking.......

Yay to lovely scan news. For those who have had their 12 weeks scan, does the wait until the 20 week scan seem epic? I was never this paranoid/impatient with my first pregnancy.

On the subject of DH support - my DH has been brilliant going with what I want, listening to all my worries and thoughts. With my dd he was singing a French rugby chant to my tummy to encourage her to come out - it worked eventually much to the amusement of the midwife. Lol.

So sorry olilos

flipfantasia Thankfully it will work in my favour Im having a planned casaerian at 39 weeks and I was worried as my baby's are always at least 10 days late which to me shows there just not ready before then so yanking them out at 39 weeks seemed to soon at least with the date discrepancy I will be nearer to term.

Good luck trouble

It's funny how different people are. Both my dc's were 3 days early. My sister in law was induced with all 3 of hers at 2 weeks late!

After describing dd birth to the midwife she said "I dont want to upset you but if there was no time for pain relief last time it is very unlikely that you will get any this time!" Yay?!!! So now I'm not dreading labour at all! Lol!

Sorry to hear about olilos :(

Good luck for all the scans today!

Hi guys, I am away for the weekend with friends cannot wait for the change of scenery and rest just hope sickness doesn't ruin it, I have no wifi where I'm going so catch up with you all on Monday x

Best of luck trouble

Wrt scans we use to take lmp if within 5 days of scan estimate but now we just go by scan date. Not sure if tort hospitals still do the same.

So much to do around the house it's a right mess and it's annoying me so much that I have no energy to clean and Hoover I'm going to try to get some done today. Has anyone else had an urge to redecorate since being pregnant I've decided I'm not happy with anything in the house and want to change everything! To be fair it is long overdue we hasn't changed anything from the previous occupants.

tort = other

Gun that's great that the baby will be a little older when you have your section! Much better than the opposite of being behind.

Good luck trouble!

Binky I love the being out til 10.30pm! I'd feel like a right party animal if I could manage that (felt good that last night I could stay up chatting to dh til nearly 10pm!).

Placemarking : )

Sorry to hear about olilos

I had my booking in, and the midwife asked me and DH if we were related I hope that's a general question and we don't look inbred....

Lovely to see all the positive scans though, I just want to have mine now, feel like I cannot get too excited yet...

Haha daphne we got asked that as well, in London they very often get told 'yes' it happens more then you think in some cultures.

Me23, I have the house makeover bug too. We were going to move but revised finances mean we'll wait for baby's arrival. I want new carpets, shelves, paint, wallpaper. I feel a trip to IKEA brewing!
