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

Yay kitty! That's great!

I've been wearing my new maternity jeans bought on weds so comfy!
Feeling really acidy and sick again tonight :-(

I'm wearing my maternity jeans right now...aaahhhh the relief 12+2 but swear I look about 20 weeks! haha

Aww Me I know the feeling! Rennies are my lifesaver!

I too am enjoying mat jeans, couldn't fit into any of my normal jeans on Saturday so I was a bit desperado! Im 13+4 today but like familyf says I feel about 6months pregnant!

Whoop whoop kitty! Loving hearing about good scans! I bought some long-line maternity tops from ASOS last night, I'm 13+5 and all of my trousers won't zip up but for the time being I figure I can get away with the elastic band or hair bauble round the button trick until I get any bigger! I also have a fancy schmancy wedding in May I need to think of an outfit for, and a heroes and villains themed 30th birthday party too. I originally planned to be Cheetara from the Thundercats (80s kid + any excuse to buy some face paints)....now I'm going to be a 25 weeks pregnant Cheetara, will be good for a laugh I'm sure!

Haha kirsti that's an amusing image! (Sorry)
Waiting for Chinese take away to celebrate today's news, so magical seeing them for the first time!

Thanks to various for the dating stuff info. Interesting. I've had the busiest week in ages, out every evening... so today I was exhausted. Boss came into my classroom to find me slumped on a chair and kids playing games on laptops. Haha.

Right now I'm pillowed and blanketed up in the car for a three hour drive to Manchester to tell boyfriend's parents. Planning on sleeping the whole way.

Lovely scan news today - I love hearing about everyone's scans.
I'm already in maternity trousers - I look about 6 months pregnant although that might have something to do with bloating and cheese on toast.....he he
Still feel exhausted and nauseous at nearly 14 weeks.

Oh, and obviously I have a bag full of random'clothes that fit' rather than anything that looks decent. Got rushed out the door, so no chance to rustle around in bags for new fat gut trousers. I'll be walking in the peaks in a dress, leggings and walking boots, with goretex jacket straining at gut and boobs. Nice.

Fab to hear good scan news, anxiously awaiting mine on Monday morning. Sorry nice to hear good things. Xx

So nice, obviously xx

Haha, I think I probably look like that quite a lot ohthegoats!

Told my boss and team today. Way more excited and supportive than I was expecting and even got a kiss from the CEO! V tired tonight. Been on the sofa under a blanket since I got home 3 hours ago, bed time soon!

Hehe yep Trouble I'm def going for comedy value now! Hubby is working down in Cumbria tomorrow so I'm going to be his road trip buddy. Looking forward to a whirl on the Kirkstone Pass and maybe lunch in the Newby Bridge Hotel, ahhhhhh bisto!
Monkey my team in work are touchingly chuffed for me too, quite overwhelmed by their reaction, it's lovely isn't it being "out" :)

Loving being "out"! We've told everyone today, it just feels so lovely not having to hide anything!

Good news on the scans ladies! mrsbad I feel like you, exhausted and still very nauseus! I'm sure with my other 2 DC I felt well by now. I wonder if it's because I'm older this time round (39). After Wednesdays scan I brought some maternity jeans.....so comfortable. I definitely wasn't in maternity clothes this early last time.
ohthegoats when do you plan on leaving for maternity leave if you want to go back in sept? I teach secondary and will start my mat leave from sept 1st. Financially it's good as you still get your August wage but like you I might find the time dragging if I finish in July and baby not born until Oct.

My kids go on a residential on 22nd September. I'd like to get to then. It all totally depends though, doesn't it? It's a tricky thing to be able to decide in advance. I just think that the 6 weeks of summer will give me some sorting out time, so if I can make myself busy in the final waiting weeks, that'll be a good thing for my mental health. Because I'm deputy, I can sort of get away with being more involved in how the school manages my mat leave. We've talked about me having some sort of project to do for 3 weeks etc. Early days though.

Sorry olios.

Pleased for everyone who had great scans, excited for ours on Wednesday, all being well I'll join the fb group then.

pinkfizzsparkles- I think the ongoing nausea and exhaustion is age related too. I'm 40 and I seem to be suffering worse than my first pregnancy.

Agree with you with the mental health side of things. At least you have scope to keep working without necessarily teaching. If it's a trouble free pregnancy and you're well you could manage that. I finished about a month before with my other 2 and that was just right but I was still on my feet teaching.

mesbad interesting that your feeling worse this time and older. Maybe it is our ages! I hope it doesn't impact on the rest of pregnancy.

My body is definitely struggling more this time around...27 the first time and 33 this time...those 6 years have made a difference! I remember thinking when I was 27 that I probably would struggle a lot if I was ever pregnant past 35. I remember the recovery afterwards in terms of getting moving again being very slow. I felt like an 80 year woman for weeks lol!

Moan alert.
Had a v busy week at work last week and last night was exhausted. Had dinner then threw it back up again and cried.
Today I am totally washed out like a limp rag. DH has gone off to watch rugby in the sunshine and I'm home alone feeling dreadfully sorry for myself.
Any stories or pics to cheer me up?

I've been searching for something to cheer you up Tak1ngchances! Found lots of not very funny stuff and this, which made me smile with its truths! www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/jan/23/pregnancy-first-trimester-symptoms

trouble you are sweet!! Made me laugh...3pm bedtime is actually sounding kind of good to me!

Fantastic trouble! Seems pretty accurate to me!
