Aww auntiedee that's so mean of them, why not??

Hope everyone starts to feel better soon, I'm not hoping I get symptoms anymore now I know things are fine without any, they sound horrid you poor things.

sleepyMe12 · 07/03/2015 12:46

Aww bat that's so cute. The questions were mainly to do with referals due to previous chromosome disorder and a lleetz procedure I've had. I've been referred for a early scan for Monday so fingers crossed xx

Choccywoccydodah · 07/03/2015 12:56

Bat that's amazing! And so big!! Bet you're mind is well and truly at ease now :)

Choccywoccydodah · 07/03/2015 12:59

Lookslike I've bought caffeine free diet coke, takes the same to me :)

Ah that's exciting that you will get a scan on Monday sleepy! Am sure all will be fine!

gaggiagirl · 07/03/2015 13:58

Lovely bat.

Cineraria · 07/03/2015 14:22

So lovely to see your scan Batfish. Is it the baby's head and left arm to the right of the photo? I can never work these things out!

I have added your location to the Stats, Choccy and ordered it by date, so if you look before anyone changed it, you'll see the order and any due date buddies. In terms of order, I think the June date must be a mistake then there is a Natalie, who hasn't posted much recently and then it's me as my date moved to Sept when I had a scan at 5 weeks. Eek! I was going to learn from the experiences of those going first!

flipflump · 07/03/2015 14:33

Brilliant news Batfish, you must be delighted.

Choccy, we're in the same county. Which hospital will you be going to?

Pleased some of you are feeling a bit better, these early weeks are so difficult. I'm trying not to moan and to just muddle through as I know how blessed I am, but really I just feel awful, far worse than my last pregnancy. DH is away next week on business, I'll be home alone with a very active toddler. What could possibly go wrong??Grin

LooksLikeImStuckHere · 07/03/2015 14:38

Choccy I've tried that, I can't even finish a can! Only drink I've really been able to stomach is water.

Choccywoccydodah · 07/03/2015 15:03

fitflump I'm under the care of UHCW at the moment due to recurrent mc, but I'm planning a home birth tbh. It's our nearest (about 20 mins) Hate hospitals!
Had a super easy birth with DS, had him at 4.25am, but due to staffing shortages I didn't get discharged until 1pm the following day!! I was told I'd be home by that lunchtime! Don't want a repeat of that tbh.
Other option is warwick but it's abouts 30-35 mins from us.
How about you? :)

Twinkletoes007 · 07/03/2015 15:04

Yay bat!

Choccywoccydodah · 07/03/2015 15:04

lookslike I've just said to dh all I want is water, I don't fancy anything else except oj!

whoknew28 · 07/03/2015 15:04

Yay Bat! Brilliant news! Smile

scatterbrainedlass · 07/03/2015 15:14

Wooo, congrats batfish!!

LakeOfDreams · 07/03/2015 15:17

Glad some have started having positive scan results.

I'm 9+1 scan 30th March and I'm still so exhausted. I think it's not helped by working 12.5hr shifts and lots of nights at the moment. Working another night tonight so basically spent the whole day on the sofa catching up with some tv.

flipflump · 07/03/2015 15:18

Choccy, I'll be going to Warwick again. Redditch is slightly closer but it's midwife led and following previous birth I'll need to go to Warwick. Birmingham women's would be my other option. Fingers crossed you get your home birth, I'm with you on hating hospitals, esp post natal wards.

Choccywoccydodah · 07/03/2015 16:03

Lake that's sounds bliss! I'm just anout to join you :)
We just had our first bbq (love them!) but now I'm frozen, so snuggled under a blanket on the sofa while dh does the washing up Grin DS is sitting with him in the kitchen so I've got a moments peace!

flipflump if we lived closer to warwick I'd be happy to go to hospital tbh, but the thought of going to a uni hospital I don't like.
We were at a tiny Welsh hospital with ds, so much nicer but short staffed. I was lucky to get in as they closed the ward that morning about 2 hours before I started labouring. Mw rang me to say she would give me a sweep (day after due) still as the ward was closed, but then I tatted on u own anyway!
I didn't go in til it started hurting about 10 hours later and I needed gas and air and I got the last spot thank god!
What's Mw led? I've heard of it before, what's the difference?

Choccywoccydodah · 07/03/2015 16:05

*wouldnt give me a sweep
*started on my own
Bloody iPhones!

gaggiagirl · 07/03/2015 16:11

Can anyone link the stats sheet? I cant amend it I want to see what info it requires.

Adventuregame · 07/03/2015 16:24

Batfish that's great news for the no symptoms club !!

flipflump · 07/03/2015 16:52

Choccy, as far as I know there's no consultant and little intervention. Your delivery sounds perfect, I'd like one of those next time Wink I had GD in last pregnancy, hoping to avoid it this time but it's likely I'll have it again, so I'll be classed as high risk. My waters broke 2 weeks early with DS but I didn't progress, had to be induced, then had assistance with delivery. Not ideal but it wasn't dreadful. When I fell pregnant with DS I had wanted a calm, serene water birth, it wasn't to be. I'll be more open minded this time.

Congratulations batfish! So pleased for you. They gave me an early scan yesterday and all is ok! Saw the heartbeat and the little blueberry is in the right place so not ectopic - been a whirlwind few days so feeling pretty relieved. I'm a week behind where I thought I was though so only 6wks along and thought I was 7. They spotted a cyst on my left ovary so they think that is what the pain is but it's collapsing itself and they're not concerned at all. How is everyone's nausea going?

Coolchic12 · 07/03/2015 18:22

Hi ladies, I've been so busy at work lately and so tired in the evenings I couldn't even lift a finger. Good news Bat and the others who've had scans recently. I also had mine at 8 +4 on Thursday and everything looks ok for the age. I haven't been feeling too bad, just nausea first thing in the mornings and whenever I'm hungry, still awful though, but thank got I'm able to eat most food and drink, but get full quicker.
