I also have scan Thursday, about half and half for nerves and excitement at the moment. I've been dead tired the last few days, no matter how much I try and sleep. Getting out of bed is an actual, physical struggle. My DP knows this. But last night, he came in from his 'gentleman's evening' at about 1.30 and decided to wake me up to tell me "how much I love you".

I replied with a fist to the face.

And now I feel bad because he's actually got a bruise under his eye where I socked him.

I was 12 weeks yesterday and felt like shit so was irrationally annoyed that it wasn't a magic gateway to feeling better! I have been feeling progressively better though. Fingers crossed for gradual improvement.

books thanks for your comment on the other thread - I didn't use the hot tub in the end because we were out in the day and then the others were hot tubbing later at night when I just wanted to sleep!

maths is he drinking? Could you try thick smoothies, shakes or soups? I had pneumonia a few years back and it is an absolute killer, it was about 6 months before I was properly back to normal and a good few weeks I wasn't eating properly. I was just in bed taking every drug I could with brandy to try and knock me the hell out!! I didn't care anymore and just wanted to be unconscious. My mum offered to come and look after me and I was so poorly I said no because I just wanted to be left alone to die!! Grin Got better though (obviously!) and when I did I made up for not eating for a while! Grin It really is a miserable virus though, don't be too worried if he can't get much down, as long as he's still drinking, he'll get there.

Greenstone · 29/04/2014 11:10

Maths, you poor things, you've had a rough few weeks haven't you. Your poor little DS, I am sure he will come back to himself eventually but like Random says it is a nasty virus and will take time. Would he eat something like peanut butter and banana spread on toast (that happens to be what I'm eating right now) and cut into appealing triangles or something? While he's watching tv? It is tasty but might help to fatten him up.

mismylinford · 29/04/2014 11:18

Was secluded to have my scan on Friday. But after bleeding it was rearranged and i had the scan on Sunday. An what a relief the little one is healthy and happy. I had a heamatoma though which is why im bleeding. Wonderful to know everything is ok. 13 weeks and due 3rd November.

TwigletFiend · 29/04/2014 11:25

Oh dear Maths, poor little man! Maybe try making a little 'event' out of the food? Call it a bed picnic or have a little tea party in his bed to try & encourage him to eat?

Annarose2014 · 29/04/2014 13:02

Jesus Twiglet!!! Shock

alita7 · 29/04/2014 13:12

Aw maths I hope he feels better. Have you asked your local health visiting team, his nursery or your gp?

twig let I was livid last night when dp woke me up coming to bed, he kept waking me up too, little did I know that this was due to me star fishing and then rubbing my stubbly legs on his hehe

RandomInternetStranger · 29/04/2014 13:16

I actually had a rant on Facebook about how tired I am but how people keep ringing me at silly o'clock and waking me up and I just want to cry I'm so exhausted so from now on email, WhatsApp, Facebook or text me but don't ring!!

Miskate · 29/04/2014 13:35

12 week scan went brilliantly. Everything is fine. I am a numpty for worrying myself over a horoscope.
I am 13 weeks apparently, so new due date is 4th of November. I drank half a bottle of lucozade before the scan, and had a mad dash around the hospital trying to find the ward. This led to the baby goose going absolutely mad inside me, flailing about and in my husband's words "faceplanting my sidewall".
HOORAY!

TwigletFiend · 29/04/2014 13:40

Glad it's not just me, though I do feel bad now. To be fair, I was half asleep & he kind of lurched/fell on top of me & squooshed me into the mattress. If he hadn't had his face on my shoulder I probably wouldn't have caught him such a good one. And I was also fairly deeply asleep until he flopped on me, which was quite alarming! Stoopid man.

Random, definitely a good idea. Once I'm in bed I want to sleep, and I set my alarm to tell me when I need to get up thanks, don't need anyone else's input!

HRMumness · 29/04/2014 15:02

I was getting a bit obsessed too and I've been trying to spend my time reading/doing more productive things rather than endless internetting lately. Not that it works, still knackered all the time.

I'm 12 weeks almost and have my scan on Friday. Have told most people now as I think it is quite obvious as I already have a decent bump and well, if something is wrong then I'd probably share that as well.

If I ask DD where the baby is, she points to my stomach now and tries to lift my top up and says "I see". I'm trying to talk to her about the baby regularly so she gets used to the idea.

Venus2 · 29/04/2014 15:06

Haha Twiglet, your post made me laugh. Hope DP can see the funny side too.
Just back from a week in Spain to find my letter waiting for me. Scan this Thursday. Yay! Excited now but will be so nervous on the day. Guaranteed to be tears but hopefully of the happy variety. Twiglet and Maths I will be thinking of you both on Thurs.

Elliekins · 29/04/2014 15:59

Hooray! All well with my scan too, baby was asleep faced own to begin with and then was sucking its thumb, which looked exactly like it was smoking a cigarette!
NT measurement was 1.5 which I assume is a good number and I can sigh a momentary sigh of relief before I find something else to panic about.
Hooray for your scan too Miskate, that's great news.
Lots more happy scans to come ladies.
My due date is now the 7th November. Smile 12w-4 today!

27.5 weeks to go, that's very not long.
....Worrying again already...Blush

weeonion · 29/04/2014 16:00

mismylingford and miskate - great to hear you had good scans too! Smile

I got my letter from nhs from nuchal scan and bloods to say i was low risk but no stats to go with it. reassuring and have rang them to give me the stats.

I have always been a late to bedder but now wanting to head there from about 9pm. We dont answer phone anyhow from that time ( a hangover from when dd was wee and those who knew us well, knew not to ring after 7pm as we woudl be focused on getting her settled etc. ) I dont bring my phone to bed anyhow so dont get disturbed and DP fields all calls anyhow when i am knackered. Hate talking on the phone anyhow - related to job which means i spend a fair whack of day sorting out grim support calls and scenarios so tend to be quite "business- like" on personal calls. Its become a family joke that i do catch ups and then end call.... Smile

Its a beaut sunny day up here which reminds me i must start getting sun block out - last tinme i was pg with DD i wasnt so diligent and ended up with "interesting" tanned patches which have never completely faded..

weeonion · 29/04/2014 16:00

aah elliekins - i was wondering how you got on! great news Smile

TwigletFiend · 29/04/2014 16:15

Great news on scans today! I'm slowly tipping towards 60% nerves 40% excitement now, so God knows how much of a wreck I'll be by the time it gets to Thursday morning.

We seem to have quite an active bunch of beans in this latest run of scans. Hope mine is the same! Congrats all Smile

weeonion · 29/04/2014 16:20

Hi folks - I hope it is ok that i have started a new thread that is just a list of all our stats / due dates.

I know some of these have changed as the 12 week / dating scans have happened and also we have newcomers to the thread. If you could check it out, copy and repost into a message there with your additions, updates and changes etc.

mismylinford · 29/04/2014 16:23

So nice to here we are a bunch of worriers. I was fine with my first but this rascal has my nerves shot over very bad sickness bleeding fainting etc. Just have to believe everything will be ok. Keep calm and learn how to crochet in my case. Determined to make some clothes... Well at least a hat!

TwigletFiend · 29/04/2014 16:47

Oh gosh mismylinford, let me know how it goes? I'm appalling at that kind of crafty thing but really like the idea of making something for the baby myself. If it's not too hard, I might give it a shot!

ElleOhElle · 29/04/2014 17:07

out of curiosity what sizes are your babies measuring at 12 week scan. mine was 8.4cm??

felt so rubbish today.

great news for all the scans x

alita7 · 29/04/2014 17:17

congrats ellie :) I didn't look at the babies measurement I was looking at the dates it brought up silly me.

I am so tired, I can't do anything anymore :p I went to uni this morning, had a chat with my tutor, wandered round the shops for an hour and got home about 2. I then curled up in bed and slept but now my body feels all heavy.

blamber · 29/04/2014 18:04

How cool is that, at 12 weeks the baby is still so tiny, what was it Elle 8.4 cms at your scan, but they look like proper babies and they are already moving about so much. I can't wait for my scan.

Chivesmum · 29/04/2014 18:26

Is the bit about blooming in the title a promise?!? Still feeling rough as heck here - horrible taste in my mouth and still off most foods. Please let it all go soon!!

One week till my scan :)

Glad all the other scans have gone well xx

alita7 · 29/04/2014 18:35

so I'm majorly craving prawns with sea food sauce. dp is refusing to go to the coop 2 seconds away as he doesn't trust the prawns so he's going all the way to tescos about 20 mins away -.- hungry. I guess at least he's not lax about these things.

I'm fed up of feeling off food all day and even if I eat plenty I will suddenly be starving around 11pm. Hmph.
