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.

Yeah, he's a keeper... Smile

monkeypeanuts · 26/03/2014 19:49

Scan tomorrow! I will jump on the FB group if all goes well

magichandles · 26/03/2014 19:57

I just coped the link you posted and found it that way! I agree to go secret asap as well though.

binkybunny · 26/03/2014 19:58

Is the fb group the one with 25 members?

Kirstipops · 26/03/2014 19:59

Here's the link again

Nope only 7 so far. I thought the group photo would show up in the search but it hasn't because it's a closed group, gah!

Grannyapple · 26/03/2014 20:02

kirsti I've just pm'd you, I couldn't find the group either.

Quick question ladies-some of you mentioned dental procedures a few weeks back. I've got an abscess & in the process of registering with an NHS dentist, funnily enough..I'm only 11 wks, so am I right in thinking they might be reluctant to do a procedure til I'm last 13 wks?

binkybunny · 26/03/2014 20:06

Yay found the group. Was being blonde and didnt think to copy the link Blush

CareBearWithFangs · 26/03/2014 20:07

I've messages you Kirstie but shall try and find he Facebook group.

DD has been a devil child today so I'm absolutely knackered. Am about to have a very long bath and am missing wine for the first time since finding out I was pregnant!

Glad to hear more good scan news too.m

CareBearWithFangs · 26/03/2014 20:11

Hooray I think I've joined.

Thanks Kirstie.

pinkfizzsparkles · 26/03/2014 20:13

Granny I had an extraction at 8 weeks. Dentist knew I was pregnant and happy to do it. I had a recurrent infection and had 2 lots of antibiotics too. I spent a week on cocodamol, I even had a few days where I took more than the recommended daily amount as the pain after the extraction was intense! It knocked me around more because I was in the early stages of morning sickness.

ohthegoats · 26/03/2014 20:18

Well, I told my parents and brother/SIL today... they were pretty excited about it, which was nice. My brother was particularly smiley.

Made me feel better about the fact that same as gunwalloe, my Harmony test bloods haven't worked, so they are going with the set I had taken on Saturday. Another week of waiting. Nuchal stuff all fine, but it would be nice to have the thing that I paid £250 for!

Loulou888 · 26/03/2014 20:18

Advice anyone? I've felt terrible the past 4 weeks or so, sick, being sick, moody, emotional, tired out. My DH told me yesterday that he knows I'm not feeling well but I'm actually "doing his head in" today he has actually fallen out with me today for one thing or another. I'm so tired I've been in bed by 8.30 most evenings and he's fed up with feeling lonely. Feeling really down now can't help feeling like this and he's being a pig. Think I might just go and cry myself to sleep.

ohthegoats · 26/03/2014 20:22

Loulou - yes, that stuff has been going on here too. I had a melt down at 9+5, which combined with him having a 24 hour sickness bug the next day, made him realise/remember how SHIT it feels when you're nauseous and exhausted.

I feel better now 4 weeks later, and am looking back at that time as being really shite, so I must be better. Keep your fingers crossed that you might suddenly wake up tomorrow feeling great, cos that's what happened for me.

I'm still in bed at 8.30 though - I think he's going to have to get used to that... possibly forever!

pebble82 · 26/03/2014 20:24

Yeahy, I found it and requested to join.

Grannyapple · 26/03/2014 20:35

Thanks for adding me kirsti...I guess once it's secret, we should our nicknames so we know who's who?

Bumpforme2014 · 26/03/2014 20:41

Yay I joined it :-)

hefner · 26/03/2014 20:44

Good luck for your scans tomorrow pebble and monkey. I've got mine tomorrow too. I feel the same as you pebble, really scared even though everything seems normal so far. I will request to join the Facebook group tomorrow if all is OK.

Loulou888 · 26/03/2014 20:44

Thanks Ohthegoats glad you are over it nice to know someone else has been there too. just feel like I'm not going to snap out of it anytime soon. But hopefully prove myself wrong

Kirstipops · 26/03/2014 20:57

Good luck pebble ,monkey and hefner ! I had crazy dreams on Sunday night before my scan, I wonder if you'll be the same!

Kirstipops · 26/03/2014 21:13

Aww Loulou unbelievable as it seems right now, it'll get better. Either almost overnight, or one day it'll just hit you that you've been feeling semi-normal again for days and days (as happened with me)! Some guys are utterly rubbish at empathy and dealing with illness/moods, but I can bet he'll regret saying that to you. My DH was fairly knocked sideways by how exhausted and bleugh I was a few weeks ago too, he's used to me bouncing around, though his reaction was just to laugh at me, this also didn't help!! He is a very logical person, so explaining what was happening to my insides in a scientific way I think helped to put it into perspective for him just why I was so floored!

CareBearWithFangs · 26/03/2014 21:29

I'm still feeling like that too loulou. Could you maybe show DH this thread to show him how normal feeling like this is? I haven't washed up now once in 4 weeks. DP is basically doing everything, plus all of DD's night wakings because I'm so exhausted.

It will get better.

ohthegoats · 26/03/2014 21:35

Actually, regards loulou's bloke issues, and things that mine has said too, how much of an opinion do you think your partner should get in the process of pregnancy and childbirth? For those who have kids already, how did it work for you?

I'm pretty much of the 'my body, my way' thinking, but I'm generally a stroppy moo and he's used to shouty opinions. He's trying to 'suggest' things, but I'm a researcher and am pretty certain about how I want to do it.

Grannyapple · 26/03/2014 21:45

DH just went with whatever I wanted. I had 2 natural births (but wasn't expecting it to go as smoothly as it did). I too researched lots before deciding but we discussed everything beforehand & I think him doing NCT classes really helped too to be honest.

But most of the partners of friends went with whatever the women wanted...like you say, it's your body...

pebble82 · 26/03/2014 21:47

Ohthegoats, good question, it never actually occured to me to ask him. That's bad isn't it! But then I think he'll want me to be happy with a "birth plan" (as much as we can actually plan!) so will agree with what I say. I'm hoping we get to have a nosey at the birthing centre in the hospital tomorrow when we go for the scan. Water birth, nice music and calming lights sound like just what I'll want. I wonder if they let you put on your own ipod? I can see a comic playlist with motivational songs being good (e.g. "push it real good")
