October baby bus #2

[MrsEvansAlmost]

Hello new thread to chat on as we filled up the first!!

Hi Linguaphile thanks for your kind thoughts, well my scan is end of March based on my LMP dates but by then I'll be 13+4 as scan dates have me a week further on, so going to see if I can have it brought forward a bit when I have my booking appointment this week...
Docs are convinced this is a case of vanishing twin syndrome rather than a difference in gestational age, it's not just the slow heart rate but the sac is also collapsing so odds are overwhelming at this point. Hey ho, I shall be very lucky to hold on to one, am hoping I have a fighter in there too! Have you had a scan yet? If you've had twins already are the odds high for a second set?!

gaggia my chin has been covered in boils that r taking an age to go so im with u on the spotty front. bloody annoying!

taranta i hope u r doing ok. it must feel like a difficult situation to be in. promising twin has developed a heartbeat tho it must be doing something in there. i dont want to get ur hopes up but a family member had this and they were convinced the worst would happen but things turned out extremely well and got to full term with both of them. it can happen so fingers crossed.

Being emotional doesn't cover it. I cried at a KFC advert the other day . Mil facetimed tonight. Asked how I was, told her I was nauseous and started to cry. FFS....

Was it the KFC ad with the little boy who's been adopted? That one got me! Also cried at CBeebies earlier.

gin yes! Although I thought he was fostered. Breaks my heart either way!

Hi all

I don't post a lot but do follow all your news.
Thought I'd give a shout out to the no symptoms club ! I'm 8 wks tomorrow and so far just sore boobs. No hint of sickness (sorry for those that do). I had a scan at 5 wks due to a pre existing medical condition and dr said all looked normal. It was just a blob really with a flicker of heartbeat too tiny to measure.
As some of you may remember I've been in a bit of a 'not ready' panic about the whole thing but I seem to have turned a corner emotionally and can actually imagine it all without crying of fear !!!

Next scan is April Fools Day - thankfully after midday !!!!

Yay to the others in the no symptoms club! Hopefully we are all fine, safety in numbers and all that.

adventure that's great news that you are feeling better about everything.

Sorry to all of you who are feeling crappy, I hope it passes soon and you start glowing instead!

I don't post terribly often but showing lots of sympathy towards all you sickly ladies, it's not fun. My little one woke up at 2am, I got up to settle him but had to run to the bathroom. Morning sickness I can just about handle but middle of the night sickness is cruel.

My GP doesn't want to see me until I'm 10 weeks. Very much doubt I'll see the midwife much before 12 weeks as she only does 1 day per week at our surgery. Jealous of you all with appointments. I want to get the ball rolling.

flip I'm in the same boat as you. Jealous of everyone's scans and appointments.

You guys have made me realise that although I'm jealous of everyone's symptoms I should also think myself very lucky that I get to have a scan very soon to hopefully put my mind at rest!

The thread has fallen off my topics so I better post.
Lovely to hear about the scans and appointments coming through. Those with no symptoms please just try to enjoy it, easier said than done though. I had no symptoms with my others and they were all fine. This one is making me nauseous (no actual vomiting yet) but I know women who have had severe morning sickness (HG?) and this is nothing in comparison so I won't complain... In public anyway. My poor DP is hearing all about it.

batfish and adventure can I join the no symptoms club? I'm 9 + 2 and even the boobs are feeling a bit better. Not really had any nausea at all, I only know I'm pregnant because of the lack of AF, larger boobs (need to go bra shopping!) and sometimes completely irrational behaviour! i.e. spent the whole of yesterday shouting at things and last week properly sobbed in the shower because it was cold!

Sorry to all of you who are feeling rubbish - hope it passes soon!

anyone have really bad congestion? everytime i have something to eat it feels like im going to suffocate so i have to eat real fast.

Aye ginger its horrible. Get some Calpol baby saline nose spray it will change your life!

ooh just from boots or somewhere? will get some one way home, thank you so much i am excited about being able to breathe again!

Yeah or a big Asda or something. If they don't have that get sterimar. So long as its a saline nasal spray/drop thingy. I got mine from the tiny local chemist. They had to ask the pharmacist if I was allowed it because I'm preg. Its just salty water!

perfect, you have made my day! thank you

Sorry for self centred post ladies, but introducing Choccy Bean
Strong HB, Dr really pleased and everything as it should be.
Can't believe it, still in shock I've got this far. Been a long 18 months!!

Aaaw, how lovely! Congrats choccy on your lovely little bean x

Aw bless little choccy bean!
HI im jumping on board with I think a due date end of October. I'm going to say Halloween as easier to remember. I am an ancient 44 and this will be dc3 ..im very recently separated and this is a huge shock..
anyone else over 40?

Aww that's brill Choccy! How did you manage to get a pic? I wasn't even allowed to take a picture of mine and my OH wasn't with me - I feel cheated out of being able to share with him :(

I just asked for one but they'd already printed it out when I was getting dressed.
That's odd they didn't give you one!
I got one with all my scans with ds too.
I just can't believe this one has stuck! Celebrating with a nice bath while ds at preschool......HE'S FINALLY GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER!!!!

congrats choccy looking fab! how far along are you?

im here after mmc late last year so share all your worries!

How's everyone doing with the nausea/sickness today? I feel so rubbish, I just need to eat all the time. Greggs pastry for breakfast followed by Macdonalds lunch (with two of their strawberry smoothies). I'm now lying in bed while Dd watches dvds. I just told her I'm sorry for being a rubbish mummy today. She said 'Yes, I'm going to put you in the bin, Mummy!'

Only 6 weeks Ginger so a loooooong way to go yet.
I'm on the Response Trial so I have to inject myself everyday. It's either a drug or placebo, but I'm convinced it's the drug as I just so happened to have got this one to stick!
I still can't believe it especially when I've got no proper symptoms. I had nausea the last couple of days and felt sick but not sick, I have sore nips and am knackered, but that's about it!
I had the same with ds so hoping this one is the same :)
