Hello

Having had 5 mcs and 1 DD I am not feeling very hopeful (juest realistic) even though I am doing different things than before...

4w today and on cyclogest pessaries since CD21...

Maybe we could have a separate thread to the biiiig one so we don't scare the others with our (my) negativity...

Welcome

TinyTear, 40, 1 DD, 5mcs, due in April but don't want to know the exact day...

Booking appointment was underwhelming really! And I should know what to expect by now as it's the fifth time I've done it - I never learn! I'm just glad to have it out of the way tbh. Won't see a midwife again til 16 weeks.

Glad you're feeling better lila You're about the right time for sickness to start tailing off. What time is your scan tomorrow?

Shetland · 17/09/2014 15:16

Just realised it's Wednesday today - so what time is your scan on Friday lila ? not tomorrow

Lovely news babiecakes Grin

lig I wont get any extra scans on the nhs but will probably pay for a private one at 16weeks unless by some miracle I become ultra calm which is unlikely to happen, although after yesterday I do feel a bit calmer.

Lovely news babycakes.

Hope your ok stuck in the airport tiny!

Still over 2 weeks until my next scan and I'm so tempted to book another private one. DP doesn't want to though as he thinks it'll only ease my mind for a day or so what's the point.

Fingers crossed I'll start to feel better in a few weeks. Can't take much more of this. What's b6? A vitamin? What's the theory behind it? Willing to give anything a go at this point.

Sorry I managed to lose track of the thread and I've missed loads then baby brain means I've read it all and can't remember a thing. Hugs, soothing cups of tea and anti-emetics to all, whichever one you need the most.

I had my GP appointment on Monday so I'm postman stalking to get my 12-week scan appointment. The waiting is so cruel but I can't afford a private scan so wait I must. I'm almost tempted to go to A&E and tell them I've been kicked in the stomach, just to get a scan. Actually DS3 was kicking me in the stomach yesterday but the baby is well cushioned by a protective layer of flab at the moment. Oh well, just have to wait another five weeks or so and then I'll finally know whether it's all real or not.

Shetland · 17/09/2014 19:35

I'm jealous tinytear - I'd love to go to Sweden. Hope you're back ok.

LIG1979 · 17/09/2014 21:01

Carebear - the b6 is just the vitamin. It takes a few days to work but I just take 10mg about 5 times a day. (You can have up to about 100 - 200mg a day safely.) It worked quite well when pg with dd but I kept thinking it was doing nothing and then stopping and then feeling worse a day or two later. Bananas have lots of b6 too if you want something natural. It is often recommended by the gp before drugs.

Tiny - hope you get home ok. Sweden is lovely isn't it? Shetland I would recommend it but it is fairly pricey so a work trip is always nice! I work for a swedish company so have been a few times. The food there is yummy! Good luck tomorrow Tiny.

Oneday - when I had a scan around 10 weeks with dd - she was like a gummy bear.

Stuntman - ouch to the tummy kicks. I get them alot from dd and I have to try and not get angry as she doesn't understand or mean to do it. I also try and think deep down it cannot harm the baby as otherwise there would always be a big age gap between kids. Sorry you cannot have a scan but as the nhs know it mostly likely won't change the outcome so from their point of view a waste of money. Have you asked for a reassurance scan? I was given one with dd as I was in a state when facing my 3rd pregnancy in a year.

Really enjoying being away even though I am not 100%. Dh is being great whilst away so I can rest and he charges around with dd.

Good luck for your scan tomorrow tiny! Sweden really is a fabulous place!

My scan is at 1135 on Friday, it can't come soon enough now. True to form I felt pretty rubbish for most of the afternoon and evening, I find it hard to eat dinner as it just doesn't go down to well, even if I think its what I want to eat. And have already been awake an hour. Think I'm going to get up have a cuppa and some toast and hope to be asleep in another hour! I'm not working this week so I'm not stressing about having to get up.

In the waiting room. Appointment is actually at 2h30 and I got here too soon. Scared scared scared... And DH couldn't come with me. Only scan he will manage will be the NHS 12... Even the one here in 2 weeks he can't make it as he has to collect our daughter from nursery

CareBearWithFangs · 18/09/2014 14:27

Good luck tiny, everything crossed for you.

lila35 · 18/09/2014 14:42

Thinking of of you tiny.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 18/09/2014 14:55

Hope its going ok tiny

ladies ive just read my scan report, I was in such a daze that the baby was ok I forgot about the report Blush

anyway my due date has changed from the 29th to the 23rd of march so I am in fact 13.4 weeks instead of 12.4 weeks and into the second trimester. I cant believe I missed that!

TinyTear · 18/09/2014 15:06

Of course you can stay Grin

Anyway my jelly baby measures 10+4 and has a lovely heartbeat that sounded like a train.
If I believed these things I'd say it is a boy as my dd sounded like a horse...

What a relief!!
Need now to wait for the bloods...

LondonSuperTrooper · 18/09/2014 15:35

Tiny, glad that all is well with your jelly baby :) This is another milestone crossed for you.

How long did the visit take? I'm trying to figure out the timings & logistics of getting to the clinic, going to work and combining the school pick up. If I make it to 10 weeks (I haven't for the last 3 pregnancies), then I'll be having both scans by myself.

My DS's heartbeat sounded like a galloping horse :)

LondonSuperTrooper · 18/09/2014 15:35

And best of luck with your bloods. I'm assuming that you are getting the results when you have your nuchal scan?

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 18/09/2014 15:37

Oh tiny lovely news and I love , Jelly baby Grin

ours is Beany baby

LondonSuperTrooper · 18/09/2014 15:40

Smiling- many congratulations for making it to the second trimester! How wonderful to be told that you are actually further along than you thought :)
