Woo Retro! Happy to have you here! When's your due date?

Good night Treacle, hope you sleep well x

Good luck for the scan tomorrow Linda. Anyone else scanning this week?

fancyacupoftea · 18/05/2014 22:30

Just seen the 'excuse my ignorance' thread on the antenatal clubs page. I tried to explain the PD origin but can't actually remember why it came about! Poly was it you?

PolytheneGirl · 18/05/2014 22:44

Woohoo Retro!!! You've just made my day! Congratulations Thanks

Fancy No Blush wasn't me it was the bottle of red I consumed
I've permanently had bad gas since my BFP. I had it right through my pg last time and DS has still got it! I said he was going to be a wind bag!

Linda I have no idea how I did it! or more to the point how I haven't told my Mom who I talk to or see everyday. Today though DS kept me very busy so that probably helped. Good luck tomorrow fx.

P.s. I'm sitting here and I can feel my belly resting on my lap! I feel gross!

Calling I'd noticed the typo and thought it was just a thing! like an actual MN saying. Brilliant. Might use that from now on.

Retro , hurray for having you here! I think a lot of people were keeping you a seat Grin

fancy, how did it feel to tell them? Does it seem more real now?

I hope you get some sleep Treacle, thinking of you and your dh lots Thanks

Good luck to all those scanning or else this week!

fancyacupoftea · 18/05/2014 22:53

Same poly - my belly is hanging over the elastic in my pants. I used to be a size 8

I think the smelly bum tonight is a result of too much fruit at lunch - DH can't stop either! Definitely Tooty Fruity in our household.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 18/05/2014 22:54

Hi ladies,
Managed to avoid suspicion at the in laws today... DH and I had to switch drinks! Luckily G&T looks a lot like lemonade!

Sorry you're still feeling horrible treacle. I promise that it does get better with time. Allow yourself a little cry now and then. ((Hugs))

fancyacupoftea · 18/05/2014 22:55

Weirdly Mademoiselle I still didn't connect telling them with the fact that I'm pregnant and at the moment set to be having a baby in January. It all feels so distant at the moment and whilst it was nice to hear they were excited, it doesn't feel any more real!

Treaclepie19 · 18/05/2014 22:55

Thank you mademoiselle and english x

RetroHippy · 18/05/2014 23:05

Thank you Smile it's good to see all the familiar faces on here!

Fancy, EDD by my reckoning is 1st Feb. I think GP will probs put me a few days later as I ovulated on CD9.

Still not got many SYMPTOMS. Boobs hurt and I've got really bad gas too Blush I'm not usually too self-conscious but this is bad!

DH is being really sweet now he's seen a line he actually believes Grin so hard not to get excited at this early stage.

RetroHippy · 18/05/2014 23:08

Treacle, I've just read back, I'm so sorry I had no idea. Sleep well, I'll be thinking of you. Flowers

Treaclepie19 · 18/05/2014 23:25

Thank you retro, don't worry about not knowing.

Glad your DH is joining the excitement :)

toots123 · 19/05/2014 06:30

Congrats retro! Nice to see ya!!

ok im wondering what's going on. Woke up in the middle of the night sweating due to really bad cramps. So severe I thought I was going to pass out. Five minutes later im fine and back in bed. Obviously im fearing the worst but hoping for the best. No idea what to do either as im only 4+5. Any advice? (I still feel quite sick and bloated so wondering if it was trapped wind Blush

EnglishGirlsReturned · 19/05/2014 07:39

Just did a second cb digi, moved up into the next category! So I'm going to stop worrying now. Drs tomorrow, so hopefully an early scan. Today I am pregnant!! Smile

lindamagoo · 19/05/2014 08:13

English that is fab news, now step away from the tests and enjoy Smile Goid luck for the docs tomorrow.

So I've had awful dreams all night about losing the baby and I'm now not feeling so positive about my scan this morning, hoping it's just paranoia as I'm going for it on my own Hmm

EnglishGirlsReturned · 19/05/2014 08:25

I think those dream are fairly normal Linda, I had one the other night. It's just our subconscious bubbling over. It's not real, nor will it become real. Good luck at your scan, what time is it?

lindamagoo · 19/05/2014 08:34

It's at 11.35 English. I know it'll be ok but the nasty dreams have messed my wee head up. This will be the first time I'll have been in the new maternity hospital so I'm looking forward to that, it's meant to be lovely. The hospital I had the boys in has been knocked down and rebuilt beside the main hospital

CallingAllEngels · 19/05/2014 08:35

Great news retro

sazzlehopes · 19/05/2014 10:11

Hello all. I have my 20 week scan today at 1pm. I'm really nervous again which I'm sure is silly, but these little landmarks get me thinking 'what if' which really doesn't help! I'll actually be 21+2 so it's rushing past me now! We are taking my ds who wants to know whether he has a sister or brother, hopefully it'll be a lovley moment...will report back later.

Retro SO nice to have you back on here. Congrats, and great you have a strong superdrug line. Mine was crazy strong on one of those then I did a diggie and it came up with 2-3 weeks. a good feeling!

Treacle and anyone else who has bad news or comes and goes from this thread. The good thing about this thread as apposed to the more specific month antenatal ones is that we've been 'friends' for a while and supported each other in TTC as well as early days here. Never should you worry about posting sad news, moaning, etc or for that matter wanting to share happy news because you feel guilty. I've loved being on these buses for the support, and think you should be able to pretty much post what the heck you want, and stick around, or pop in from time to time (hi spotti!!!) if you feel like it!

Linda good luck for your scan today too - sure all will be well x

CallingAllEngels · 19/05/2014 10:25

Just checkin gin Smile

I should have just pretended I am supercool and down with the MN mafia Mademoiselle Grin

Good luck today sazzle and linda and happy birthday treacle Flowers

lindamagoo · 19/05/2014 10:26

Thank you sazzle and how exciting about your scan today, can't wait to hear the sex of your not so little bean Smile

lindamagoo · 19/05/2014 10:27

Oh yes and happy birthday treacle, hope you are feeling ok today huni Thanks

MademoiselleG · 19/05/2014 10:33

So we have TWO scans today: exciting! I am eagerly awaiting full report.

Treacle, I hope you are ok and get spoilt rotten for your birthday. What a shit way to spend it. look after yourself and be kind to yourself. ((big hugs))

Calling I shall now picture you in full MN-Godfather outfit with growing bump Grin

I really wish I could just skive work. MS is so bad today and my blood pressure must be incredibly low as I feel dizzy and totally spaced out. It's going to be a challenge to cover this up!

MelMc73 · 19/05/2014 10:36

Also "checking gin" (and wine and beer and the rest!!) on the new thread!

Happy Birthday treacle Cake......and sorry to hear of your news....hugs - hope you are being cared for well Thanks.

Apologies for absence over the weekend ladies - been really busy.

Supposed to be working at the moment as well.....oops!

Just feel really effing fat!!

Treaclepie19 · 19/05/2014 10:36

Hi ladies, thanks for the birthday wishes.
I've been in severe pain this morning and passed some larger clots so in hospital again at the moment. Just waiting to see what they say.
