If you have any problems I can add you x

Brill, done it, thanks!

Lovely scans ladies! And super jealous of those getting moved forward too :D

Scan date has arrived, Friday at 8.40!! Will be 13+5 if the epu scan date is right. Will be taking a cup of tea to wake up (and fill bladder) with me in the car!
Got a hen do tonight, cocktails, canapes and dinner out luckily the hen is a close friend and already knows so there are mocktails planned, just hoping no one makes a big fuss as don't want to steal her big night (I am a big worrier and have an over active conscience!)

HaveTea and Monkey DS had a posterior tongue tie and I paid a private midwife to release it on my kitchen table - cost about £100. It was worth every penny. He had trouble latching and we ended moving to expressed milk for a month before I switched to formula. He ended up in hospital with jaundice and had to be resusitated at one point because he wasn't getting enough milk and the midwives weren't listening when I told them there was a problem and just dismissed me as being a worried first time mum - I will trust my instincts more this time.

I caved and bought two maternity tops and two pairs of Jean/trousers from h&m. Cost nearly £100! But I have an outfit to wear out tonight and a work outfit. Feels too early but I'm really struggling for clothes.

Good news on all the scans! 9 days till mine and I'm soooo nervous.

11 weeks today, some how feels quite a good milestone

Out for DH birthday tonight, im driving as my cover for not drinking. Otherwise id blame lent!

And whoever mentioned movements - pretty certain I'm felt movements. This is number two so I remember the feeling. It's unusuak as they are sooo tiny but I woukdnt say no.

Thanks shin - I hope so! never hoped for a UTI before

Erm, does anyone know what you can take for constipation when pregnant? Been lucky enough never to have had it before but am starting to wonder if this is some sort of perverse labour preparation...

I'm on lactulose lastnight, that's what the doctor prescribed.

Really glad it's the weekend I was so sick last night I've burst loads of blood vessels under my eyes and I look like I've some strange punk makeup on . Hopefully it'll have faded a bit by Monday!!

If anyone is in need of a giggle....
We just took the dogs for a nice run on the beach. DH bent over in his baggy jeans and ripped them, heard it and couldn't figure out what so bent a bit further :/ turned round and he literally ripped them from the back of his knee, all the way up to just below the waistband! Not on a seam, right in the middle of the material :/ I laughed so hard I managed to wet myself a bit! The curse of the uterus sitting on my already sensitive bladder :( was bloody hilarious though!

Hehehe spam!
Poor both of you.

My DH is currently hoovering the house, bless him. Dunno what I'd do without him.

Had a lovely private scan this morning. Can't post pic as on phone sorry. Saw the heart beating away and sac in the right place. She dated me as only 8w 1d, though my reckoning was 8w5d, so hoping it's all okay. 12w scan seems a looooong time away yet now though.

A night out celebrating dh's birthday with friends tonight, so I'll be giving the Lent idea a go - not sure anyone will buy it!

Congrats on the scan MessyMoo! We're date buddies - I'm 8+5 today too.

Lastnight I was a bit constipated to start with but drank prune juice which seemed to do the trick. Things seem to have sorted themselves out at the mo. I warn you, it's pretty sweet and horrible but at least natural if it works for you. Tastes better mixed with a bit of Apple juice.

messy 4 days out isn't bad :) you might find you get those days back at your 12 week scan anyway. An egg can actually survive up to 4 days and sperm 7 days so it's quite easy to be a few days out. I was 3 days out with dd2 (2.5 weeks with dd1!) i ov'd on day 18 of my last cycle so in theory, my date could easily be 4 days out, which I'm expecting at the 12 week scan :) a heart beat at 8 weeks is great news though :D

Hahaha Spam that's one to tell the grandkids

Lastnight peppermint capsules always work for me without being too aggressive. They're just peppermint so presume fine on pregnancy.

Already gained 4kgs. What is wrong with me that is nearly my total weight from ds.

Going away tomorrow, hopefully walks along the moors and beaches will rectify this. I'm constantly eating beaches it stops the nausea. Hope it passes so the gain can slow down. They shouldn't be any weight gain in 1st trimester

Hi everyone.
Haven't posted in ages as went to my mum's in Wiltshire for half term. It was utter bliss... She was already looking after my sister's 2 dc's for a couple of days so DS had permanent entertainment and had a wonderful fully home cooked meal for both lunch and dinner every day!! I even got to read magazines and things!
Back to reality now though!

Have a Doppler question. I now really regret getting my old sonoline one down from the loft...I think I found the hb the first time I used it but every time I've tried since, literally all I can hear is very loud static... No my heartbeat, no whooshing placenta and and certainly no gallopy bean heartbeat. Has anyone else had this? (Wish I'd never got it out)

Home dopplers are not a good idea. Please don't waste your time, money and emotions

sangria, my app says 1-4lb is normal in the first 9 weeks.
I've lost weight but that's because I'm so off food.

whispers can someone remove me from the spreadsheet please? I can't do it on my phone. Good luck ladies x

Treacle but I've gained 4kgs about 8lb. My app says too much weight gain .

Maybe they all say different things? It's so confusing

My scan count down is nearly here.

11wks tomorrow, go on holiday come back one day at work then scan scan. Can't wait to see our little teacake bouncing around.

On a positive note my bloods have all come back normal
