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

Another moaner here I am so fed up with being knackered 14 weeks now and still no let up. Last pregnancy I was 26 and don't remember being like this at all I hope it gets better.
Also still no appetite at all im only eating as I know I have to, hubby on the other hand seems to be eating for me!

Afternoon ladies, sorry to hear some of you are still suffering. I'm 28 and will be 14 weeks tomorrow, have to say I have a lot more energy now than last month.
Have enjoyed shopping and lunching in the sunshine today. Had a spree in Primark- lots of long tops a few sizes bigger and some nice cheap bras seeing as I'll probably outgrow them in a few weeks

Another moaner here too. I think DP is almost at the end of his usually never ending patience

I'm supposed to be going to a house warming tonight dressed as a cartoon character, but I forgot to get an outfit for myself and DP hates dressing up so we'll be the only the ones there not dressed up. And I could desperately do with an early night.

Love hearing about all the good scan news, wish mine wasn't still another 2 weeks away.

I'm 14 weeks today, dare I say I think I'm starting to feel sort of normal again, energy-wise anyway, my appetite is still insatiable (not eating lots particularly, but definitely having to nibble something often). I'm 33 and this is my first pregnancy, my friend who is the same age and is due her 2nd the week after me was still being consistently sick until yesterday, she can only stomach bland food whereas for me I'm finding it has to be extreme tastes (usually spicy, tangy or sour. Too sweet or salty are no-nos). Hope you start to feel better soon ladies, I've almost certainly jinxed myself and will no doubt feel like shite tomorrow!!!

Happy Mother's day to those with other dc. Happy pre Mother's day to everyone else keeping a bubs nice and warm!

Happy Mother's day ladies! I'm 11+4 and feel a lot less tired and nauseous. I still have really sore boobs though and must have gone up 4 bra sizes! In fact I've just got massive everywhere. Pre preg coat won't even zip up! Off shopping for some maternity wear today.

Happy Mother's Day :-)
I've woken up to a lovely bunch of flowers and homemade jewellery that my daughter made at school.
We're out to lunch later. What's everyone else up to today?

OMG! I just saw the state of my boobs! We don't really have mirrors at home because we recently moved house. Staying at ILs and caught sight of myself in the bathroom. I have nipples the size of digestive biscuits. From the waist up I look very obviously pregnant. From the waist down, fat covers any sign of bump, but still.

PIL cried when we told them. Aaaaw. I think they are more excited than we are.

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking for fear of bad news and shockingly awful MS. I had an emergency scan at my EPU yesterday following some bright red spotting (sorry if tmi from the newbie) on Friday and we found a wriggly little bean with a good strong heartbeat measuring 12+5 EDD 6 October. So I''ve decided, come what may, it's time to be brave and join you all. Please can someone add me to the list?

My official scan is on 2 April and we've decided to have the nuchal test as I'm 36. Hopefully Wednesday will be fine.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone cooking a bean or with bean(s) already in tow. My Mother's Day treat was an unexpected lie in. DD had quite a late night as we were in the hospital yesterday fearing the worst so she stated in bed until 9. Fantastic!

Congrats celly. Survived the wedding yesterday feel absolutely shattered today tho taking my ds to rugby and standing there for 1.5 hours fills me with dread. Bil asked my DH if I was pregnant tho as no wine and trying to hide my bump! Going to all be out soon no doubt as he is sure to tell the mil. Mother's Day on hold for me until this afternoon when everyone is home. Weather is looking good today too.

Ah congrats celly! Fab news! I'm 12+1 today, scan tomorrow and anxious as hell! But excited and hopeful too, this could be my time after a long wait.

Happy mothers day everyone xx

Happy Mothers Day everyone! I got a lovely 'almost' Mothers Day card some choccys and a pair of maternity jeans from hubby and bump. OMG I wish I had got them sooner and I am NEVER taking them off!

I'm visiting family for the first time since finding out I'm pregnant so mum dad and gran took me to Mothercare yesterday and bought half the shop for me and our littld tadpole. Feeling very spoilt

I've just told the world of Facebook. No going back now :-)

Welcome Celly!
Ohthegoats - had to lol at the idea of nipples the size of digestive biscuits! (My earlier urge to have a digestive biscuit now feels v wrong!)
Happy Mother's Day to mums and nearly mums! DH is working today and my parents are away for the weekend so it's just any other Sunday for me!
Exciting to put it out there on FB pebble, expect a barrage of likes!
Loulou you looked fabby in your FB pic from the wedding, would have 'liked' it but didn't want any of your friends and family to wonder about who I was!!

Welcome Celly and congratulations! Being a pedant here but I had my scan on Friday 12+6 and EDD 4th October. You must have been 12+4 or due 5th October?

Thank you kirstiepops that's really nice of you. Hubby and the kids got me a blooming gorgeous change bag and some flowers feeling very spoilt *

Happy Mothers Day everyone. Hope you all have been spoilt and pampered. My daughter gave me a beautiful chalk board heart and a poem with her fingerprints on. So adorable and I was a blubbering wreck afterwards.

Slighted disgusted after looking in the mirror this morning to discover teenage like spots on my face. Anyone else got these? Along with bloated tummy, what look like teeny veins on my tummy/rib cage and weird nipples (more ginger nut than digestive biscuit lol) my body is turning into a freak show. Luckily my DH thinks it is all adorable.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. trouble I was 12+5 in the scan yesterday, but I had the spotting on Friday, so I'm two days behind you!

Apart from DP and an unknown bod in HR, you guys will be the only ones with full disclosure on my due date. Everyone else is getting October-ish as DD was 7 days late and the 'is it here yet' texts drove me crazy.

Hello everyone.

I've been following this thread silently for the past 2 months but held my breath until we got through the 12 week scan. Now am feeling brave enough to be added in. Also had the all clear in the Harmony test last week & also got told the sex of the baby!! DD(6) is highly excited & virtually flying since the last 24 hours as we broke the news to her in the scan room. All very exciting after a long quiet wait.

Can I please be added in? EDD 8 Oct.

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Even those expecting DC1 - enjoy the feeling of being a mum & pamper yourselves!

Hi Swimming! How exciting to know the sex already, did you already have an inkling of the sex beforehand?

Ah ha Celly! I even read your post 3/4 times!
Congratulations swimming and welcome!
Happy Mother's Day to everyone!
I'm currently awaiting a special dinner of whole baked Camembert, ciabatta, wild cranberry sauce and watercress salad! Salivating!

Ooh exciting to know the sex swimming

Kirsti & diamond - yes I was surprised to know that the sex can be told so early! But the harmony blood test offered the option. We were totally surprised & delighted to know that we'd been guessing it wrong all along! Given the date of conception (the only day of the month we managed to try! ) we were quite sure which one it would be. But we were wrong! And so thrilled to be wrong!

I was told by my NHS antenatal that they will also confirm the sex in the 12 week scan. So hoping there isn't any further surprise.

To people who have had children before, did you have a guess about the gender? Were you right?

Me and boyf are both pretty sure it's a girl. To the point that (and I know it's early days so it doesn't matter), we're only really talking about girl's names. We could have found out through the Harmony test, but chose not to.

I'm wondering if my 'inkling' will change as it all progresses. My SiL had no idea about either of her two, and was surprised they were boys.
