Congrats on all the scans.

Evening all :)

Had the 16 week appt but she didn't listen to hb so I don't really feel any better - however she did say it's not abnormal to not feel movement just yet even though it's my second, and i've got a private scan booked for the 18th so not too long until i can put my mind at rest again!

Not thought too much about the birth forty though I do like the sound of a waterbirth, I haven't been asked or told much so far so i'm not sure who to speak to about things like this - mw i'm guessing? Apparently I don't see her now though till 28 weeks!

bless you bingo you're not an idiot, i have to take a sample to every appt and always do one because i'm expecting them to want it even if they've not asked specifically! I also find it much easier to do at home too

glad you got good news in the end anything despite the sonographer making you worry!

great news on the nasal bone bingo!!!

glad your scan went well too lovecats

have liked and shared mummy :)

Thanks mummy they are lovely

Great news 're scans and appointments today ladies.

Had a chat with my new senior manager today regarding resourcing on my team next year....missed the major resource issue that I will create but I gave him enough to deal with so it'll wait til after Christmas now.

I've not really thought about the birth yet. I've yet to really comprehend that the moving creature I saw in the screen yesterday is inside me and needs an exit strategy! Midwives round here seem to be really really encouraging home births but I'm not convinced I've git the space/adequate lighting nor do I want the neighbours thinking I'm murdering someone. There's so much to consider!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

Great news on the good scans Anything, Lovecats and Bingo sorry it was a bit worrying at first Anything, I always ask before the scan for them to tell me straight away if there is a heartbeat but it still feels like forever till they say it!

Dectective your scan with your other DC sounds like mine the other day. They found it really hard to see baby as it was curled up. They kept the screen away from me while they where doing all the measurements etc so I only saw the screen shot which we got a photo of. I did feel a bit disappointed but luckily I've had a private scan at 10 weeks which was very detailed in comparison. Hopefully you'll have a better experience this time.

I feel like I am finally feeling a bit better today, I've not really had morning sickness but I have had near constant naseua and heartburn. I managed to eat my diner without feeling like I was going to throw up so am hopeful I'm on my way to the elusive nice second trimester

I've not really thought about the birth or any of the practicalities of having a baby. DH and I wandered into mamas and papas while out Christmas shopping and had a major freak out that we know nothing about babies!

Tori 16 weeks to go for my mat leave . Can't flippin' wait! I've got pregnancy yoga and aquanatal on my list of things to do once I finish. Or in the few weeks before if my shifts fall okay.

Looking forward to spending time with my 2 year old who I feel misses out a lot with me working full time. So a bit of one on one time will be great.

My 12 year old will be able to do more clubs as we will be around to transport him too and from. So he will be happy!

Cupcakes I just don't get the need for it. I mean who wants to cause upset to people?! Not me! But yes, today's scan was much better. I'm going to go for a private scan tomorrow or Friday though, as for £30 on offer, with HD and other fancy wording, it seems like a good deal! And I'm going to get that bloody nub shot if it kills me trying .

detective. I can't believe you asked for a nub shot and that's what they gave you! Nice pic as it is, it's not a nub shot!

detective good news on th scan... And another one coming up too, awesome!

SCAN DAY!!! Don't know how I'm going to get through to 13.30pm when I'm leaving work whilst behaving normally...feel a bit edgy!! I don't remember getting this worked up about my 1st baby but I've got myself into a right pickle about this one. Just really want to know everything's okay. DH coming and is the most pragmatic man in the world so will stop me from freaking out in the waiting room!

Great news on all the scans and good luck for those having them today.

I had my scan and harmony results yesterday at FMC. All low risk thank goodness. Scan was very reassuring and they've now ruled out the syndrome my first baby had. Finally starting to feel all might actually be ok.

EDD is 14/6 but due to underlying health condition and need for ELCS I will have to have it at 38 weeks latest - so could actually end up having a May baby!

Next scans at 29/12 and 26/1. Midwife 17/12, obstetrician 22/12 and medical obstetrician 29/12!

Great news Iwant and good luck today Slack.

I'm exhausted after my scan. Don't think I realised how anxious I was. Need to wait a few weeks for the quad test but I'm more relaxed about that.

Good luck today shack, I've got mine at 2pm.

Fab news Iwant, thrilled for you xx

*slack

Slack - Good luck! Its good having a pragmatic husband (most of the time, as sometimes they are TOO pragmatic for their own good).

Looks like it was another great day for scans yesterday ladies. Congratulations!

I am so behind! congrats all on scans and welcome new people! cute twins pic :) At nearly 15 weeks I am so disappointed to still be getting sick so 12 weeks is definitely not the magic number.... was sick at work this week which I have mostly managed to avoid. Anyway, we are starting to come up to 2nd m/w appts now... time flies!

Slack good luck today!

Iwant that's brilliant news must be such a relief!! congrats!

Tranquility Good luck today too... and hope they give you your results soon!

Morning all. Not having a good day today. Yesterday I felt alright, still sad but managed to get stuff done and function without crying every 10 minutes.
Then realised I had some unpleasant brown cm when I went to the loo in the evening, which freaked me out as I've had no spotting or anything since I've been pregnant.

Woken up this morning with crampy feelings, weepy and emotional, and feeling very sorry for myself. Haven't seen any more brown cm yet this morning but I think there's a funny smell (sorry, tmi). Just so stressed and anxious as I didn't think this week could get any worse, and now a part of me is convinced I'm losing the baby too. I hate feeling like this.

At work, but wish I could curl up in a ball in a dark room and stay there. Got really shirty via email with another member of staff who is very needy and demanding of my time when I am trying to sort everything out for everyone as quickly as I can. So sick and tired of being rubbish and useless at work. Haven't rung the GP yet as I didn't think they'd do anything.
