New thread

Bingo, totally missed your post earlier.. Yay on the results, must b such a relief. Did u find out tye sex (sorry nosey but i love finding out!!)

Mummy, i hav just said exactly the same to a close friend.. Shes just put a 12 week scan pic on FB, due 11th june, i'm 31st May... She bought a house directly opposite in Aug!

Re flu jab/whooping cough.. Both usually booked via gp, flu you can have now, whooping cough from 28 weeks.

tori how very strange! I have a consultant appointment on Dec 23rd, but I'm not entirely sure why!

I think my midwife has misread the VTE
risk assessment incorrectly and referred me for consultant led care due to my paternal grandmother suffering a DVT when she passed away. I'm reading the form that I should only be classed as high risk if I have personal past history of VTE (I don't) AND a close family relative with the same. Still if it gets me out of work at 3pm the day before Xmas eve I shall happily pop along

On the plus side tori, might you get more scans? My sister got more scans last time and I didn't think she was THAT Big

Ooo, lots of us with scans tomorrow! I'm nervous and excited too. I hope it's all good as I have a nice day planned with hubs.

Great news 're scan results coming in from people. I know they're only "odds" but it's surprising how much better they make you feel.

I'm feeling better than I did over the weekend and hope others start to feel better too. A near on full tub of Pringles cured me today. It feels so odd not to be on some restrictive calorie diet to get into a party dress and I'm quite enjoying the freedom.

Thanks so much for the info ots. It took me quite a while to get over the initial scare this year so it's good to know someone going through the same processes. I've heard there is a very, very low chance of problems with an internal examination, and also if you have a stitch done, but I suppose they can never guarantee these things are 100% safe or the NHS would be liable every time something happens. Fingers crossed you don't need either anyway and go on to carry baby naturally. Don't fancy that stitch thing much myself as it looks as if it's rather life limiting for the time you have it!

tranquility I'm positive everything is fine!

Good luck for all the scans tomorrow, so exciting!!

Me too orville I was an absolute wreck when I got my abnormal smear results, then again when waiting for the all clear after the treatment. I've had my follow up smear and it was normal and I've been put back on 3 yearly smears luckily.
I've just looked back over my notes from today and it definitely will be an internal scan. My notes say 'TV USS'. In my baby brain haze I thought that meant the image comes up on a TV screen until I googled and realised it means Trans Vaginal . So I guess I just need to get over my fear, I know logically they must be safe... I was probably already losing my baby before the scan as I had some bleeding and strong cramps. Either way, I'd rather take a very small risk now than risk losing the baby much further into the pregnancy. Yeah I really hope I don't have to have a stitch!

jazz decided not to find out gender. Well let's say I decided. DH totally miffed but for me the not knowing spurs me on throughout pregnancy and the birth. All mine have been surprises.

Goof luck with the scans tomorrow ladies. There seems to be a few on tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the scan pics.

Orville I've been feeling exactly like that when having a pee... So much so it kind of puts me off going! But it's much worse if I'm desperate so silly to put it off.

Joy!

My scan is tomorrow as well. It's DH's birthday and I've taken the day off. Have been quite good at just getting on with things and not thinking about it much but getting really nervous now. Trying to distract myself by making DH a birthday card (with Yoda on it).

Completely off-topic, but our beloved dog died really unexpectedly this evening, and my DP and I are totally devastated. I feel like I'm in some horrible nightmare. It doesn't seem real that our gorgeous boy isn't here snuggled up in the sofa with us tonight. Can't stop crying.

Oh forty I'm so sorry. They really do become part of the family. Big hugs xx

forty so so sorry to hear your news of your dogs passing... It's so heartbreaking they are just as much a part of the family as a human. Really hope you manage to get through the next few days/weeks ok x

Sorry to hear that forty such devastating news. Big hugs to you. Heartbreaking

Forty. Can completely understand how you feel, it's horrible. Must be even worse if it's a shock.

Sorry to hear your sad news forty
So I'm now lying in bed, crying with anxiety over tomorrow's impending scan. It's hit me like a ton of bricks, I've been totally fine but the anxiety is too much right now! Poor dh doesn't know what to do/say! Is this normal?? I have no reason to believe there will be anything wrong, but I can't relax!

Oh forty! Just went and gave my cat a squeeze after reading that. What a thing just before Christmas as well. Sorry to hear that.

Emz - take a deep breath and calm down (that's what a 've been telling myself). It helps I've read an entire book tonight which has taken my mind off things. Here's hoping we all come back with good updates tomorrow!

Thank you trying and sunbathing. My appointment is 8.30 - very glad it's an early one!

Thanks for your condolences. What a rubbish Xmas this is looking like :-( Still a mess this morning as my scumbag body clock woke me up to walk the dog instead of leaving me to my crazy, vivid but non-dog related dreams. Sat with a cuppa trying to pull myself together and stop crying so I can get ready for work.
Good luck for scans today all. FX for you! x

So sorry forty - what a rubbish thing to happen. Hope you can get through work okay and that your colleagues will be understanding.

Emz and all others with scans today - you'll be in my thoughts and prayers - hoping you all see wiggly beans. It's such a stressful time, each scan I've had has felt like facing an exam I've not revised for and I've struggled with an equal desire to not lie on the bed so they can't do it to lying down as soon as possible and asking them to put me out of my misery! Sun's advice of letting the sonographer know you are nervous is good advice.

, and [tea] to all xx

I'm so sorry forty.

Good luck for all the scans today.
