Welcome twomore!

PerpetualSummer · 15/01/2015 21:28

Welcome twomore and chocolate on.
Doodles glad to hear the scan went well.

Isa, hope tomorrow's scan goes well.

Hedgehog - I'm the same, have barely any symptoms, though I had 3 scans at EPU at 4/5 weeks, a private one last week (at 9 + 5), one on Tuesday at my Consultant's office and then one today as part of my Harmony test. The period between the scan at 5 weeks and last week felt sooo long! Try to think positive thoughts.

Luciferbox · 15/01/2015 21:38

Drool I did the exact same thing for my Dad's birthday with my DS. He was chuffed. Good luck for your scan.

Luciferbox · 15/01/2015 21:38

Frolic even, I'm not even sure how that autocorrected to drool!!! Sorry

northernlassy24 · 16/01/2015 06:32

hedgehog comforting to know i am not alone although i am sorry you are suffering too! having consulted the dreaded google the symptoms do line up with irritated bladder - i wake up in the night feeling like my bladder is tightning and it gets achey. Not sure what the treatment would be, if any.

Oh the joys of early pregnancy! Grin

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend Smile DH is off abroad to work for 10 days, so it's just me, little bean and the pooch x

AgentOfShield · 16/01/2015 09:42

I'm new to MN so I've been lurking in the background but should properly introduce myself... I'm 26 and have 2 ds. Jelly bean #3 is due on 14/08/15 which makes me 10 weeks today.

So, hi everyone Smile

Dozygirl · 16/01/2015 11:34

Welcome agent. You're the exact same as me due date wise :) this is my first though.

Hope everyone's ok. I'm finding being back at work after being away hard going. Didn't feel sick at all while on holiday but was sick again yesterday. I forgot to take my folic acid tablets away with me so I'm wondering whether it's those that making me feel ill. They are combined with calcium and vitamin d so I might just go back to taking just folic acid and see if that helps.

Frolicacid · 16/01/2015 12:09

That's lovely lucifer! I hope we get a scan date in time to do it for my dad.

That sound uncomfortable northen, I hope you feel better soon.

Welcome agent.

I just had my first midwife appt. She was really lovely. It was LONG mind! Lots of questions. Looks like I'll be midwife lead care. She tested my urine and I'm a bit dehydrated, so need to up the water and down the vomitting. Easier said than done Confused

I hope everyone else is ok. thank god it's Friday. I'm so ready to sleep!!

happygojo · 16/01/2015 12:20

Hi frolic did she feel your tummy or examine you in any way or was it just lots of paperwork and wee testing?

Frolicacid · 16/01/2015 13:10

No examination happy. She just did my wee as I was sick when I got there and have been regularly so she was concerned about dehydration. She also took a sample to check for infection.
The rest was just questions, form filling and weighing.

D00dles · 16/01/2015 15:23

Hi ladies and newbies! I'm off work today because I nearly fainted after they took my bloods. Combination of the fall and rushing back to work yesterday, determined to carry on as usual despite being badly bruised and shook up. Also the antibiotics I'm taking for my UTI have made my morning sickness return Sad I feel like a 60 year old!
But I did watch my first episode of One Born Every Minute and cried the whole way through! Ha!

Isabeau1980 · 16/01/2015 15:56

Hi guys I'm back.

All went well at the hospital today. Saw Peanut, saw Peanut's heartbeat, measurement in line with my dates and even got pictures.

(imaginary Kermit flail may have happened at this point)

Still have my booking in appointment next week.

I swear I aged 3 decades since Wednesday.

Hello to all the newbies. Glad everything worked out for you D00dles.

And a very big thank you Flowers to you all for letting me freak out here.

Now I think I may have some Cake as I haven't eaten properly since Wednesday.

MrsTea81 · 16/01/2015 16:41

Isabeau that's fantastic, glad Peanut is doing well, must have been a huge relief to see him/her!

I got my scan appt through today and isn't till Thursday 29th Jan when I'll be 13 weeks. Know that's still in good time for the NT test but midwife said it should be next week so having to wait another week isn't what is hoped for especially as it'll be my first scan and like some others have commented on I'm terrified of them finding the worst case scenario.

Hope everyone else doing ok and that you all have a lovely weekend.

otter32 · 16/01/2015 17:47

Yay isabeau that's fantastic news! You must be so pleased. I think cake to celebrate is a great idea!

Sending lots of sympathy to you sickies! I'm lucky in that I haven't actually puked. Thought my nausea was getting better, then have had a bit of a difficult week. Tiredness is ramping up too. My little peanut is zapping everything from me!

I am also now in maternity jeans that my kind friend gave to me. Can't believe how much I'm actually showing. 12 weeks tomorrow! Scan week next week. Very excited. Slightly scared too.

Sorry you're not feeling great d00dles. Look after yourself.

Lots of water frolic!

Welcome to the new people Smile and congratulations!

Dozygirl · 16/01/2015 19:08

Yey isabeau fantastic news.

I can't wait to get a scan. Im starting to get impatient now. Starting to believe a little but more that I am actually pregnant.
I'm obsessed with prodding myself to see if I can feel my uterus. I have no idea what it would feel like though but keep hoping I'll find it. Kinda just want a proper bump now although that'll mean buying new clothes. I'm not too sure about the maternity jeans I bought, doesn't seem to be a lot of stretch in them for the bump so I can't imagine them being comfortable for long but they'll do for now. They're under bump ones but because I'm not too slim at the moment due to all the food I've had to consume it feels like it just pushes all the fat up above it so doesn't look great. That shouid improve tho as it gets bigger I reckon.

Emb540 · 16/01/2015 20:54

Birch wood I never had any symptoms with bit DD this time is totally different on the sickness front.

Aw exciting all starting to have scans. God girls if I could post a pic? I am mahoooosive! I have a proper bump I am so scared it is twins!!! Eeek! I can't hide it anymore! It's obviously a bump not too many mince pies now.

Hope sickness is easing for you all xxx

Frolicacid · 16/01/2015 21:17

I hope you feel better soon d00dles Flowers

Fab news isa. Yay little peanut!

emb, there are quite a few twins from the women on my dad's side. I've been worried due to feeling so ill (no bump yet). It will be quite a shock if we see two on the scan on Sunday. As long as there is a heartbeat I'll be happy.

I hope everyone else is having a lovely Friday night? Pj's and hot water bottle here. Rock and roll!! And plenty of water, thank you otter.

LAM1 · 16/01/2015 21:42

Yay for the good scans!!!

Am off on holiday tomorrow and then have to wait almost another week after we return for my scan. Will be 13+4, these will be the longest 2 weeks....

Not sure how much skiing I'll be doing but it will be a very welcome break!! Had to check my ski gear fits earlier whilst packing, not sure what I would have done if it didn't - nothing like leaving it till the last minute. Although I was prepared enough to buy a tankini, realised a week back that I wont be able to make use of most the spa but I can do some swimming and none of my bikini tops fitted!

Have a good weekend and I look forward to catching up on everything when I get back....

Dozygirl · 16/01/2015 22:25

Ooh have fun lam!! I thought I'd be able to go skiing in march but I might be starting to get too fat by then. I don't realise I was so close to 12 weeks already lol. Very much doubt I'd be able to fit into my ski pants but u don't have to have them done up anyway. As long as they stay up that's all that matters. Have a fab time anyway. I'm very jealous.

Bedtime for me already. Finished my long shift at work and it's pooped me out. Back in tomorrow as wel . Roll on lazy day Sunday.

otter32 · 17/01/2015 08:31

Does anyone want to post bump photos?! I think that would be really interesting! I can do it from my iPhone by attaching a pic using the paper clip button. I did this on the conception board when I got my positive!

daisysunshine2 · 17/01/2015 08:38

Is anyone else getting a really bad pain at either side of their stomach if you cough, sneeze, get up too quick..? It keeps happening and it really hurts!! Only for like 10 seconds or so but its not fun!

Yay to all the good scans Flowers can't wait for mine on 26th! Still feels so far away

Bump pictures... I will if you all will! Grin

otter32 · 17/01/2015 08:42

daisy I get that a lot. I tend to have to bend over a bit and hold each side to stop it!

I'm still in bed waiting for the house to warm up, but have a bit of a rubbish pic from yesterday in my maternity jeans so will post that! Excuse my big bum!! Grin

alovelycuppatea · 17/01/2015 10:09

Come on 12 week scan! I am getting impatient but still need to wait another 2 weeks (by which time I will be nearly 13 weeks!). I'm a first timer and no evidence of any bump yet, but over the last couple of days when I move or stretch in a certain way, my belly feels somehow 'different'! Like there is something in there. No movement or anything...very hard to describe, just doesn't feel like it usually does. I'm taking that as a good sign...am I mad? :)

xBlueberry88x · 17/01/2015 11:21

Morning ladies

I have to wait till the 2nd feb for my first scan its way to long to wait.

Cuppa I feel like that aswell especially when i sit on the edge of the bed to put socks on!

D00dles · 17/01/2015 13:04

This is me at 8weeks I'm now 11, so I'll try to get a new one as I can no longer fit in normal jeans.
Brilliant news isa!
Thank you for your get well wishes, I'm still struggling with my antibiotics. I think I'll see the dr on Monday.
