Thank you everyone, can't wait to meet them now! x

lovesmycake · 05/03/2015 15:00

Congrats mrs

Well the head boss at work just spotted the bump! I'm wearing a fairly baggy jumper too!! Halfway through you could see him thinking 'oh shit what if I'm wrong' and he mumbled something about hoping I hadn't eaten too much :) (I did put him out of his misery)

For those feeling uncomfortable pains I had this with DS and am getting it with this pg. I am in no way saying don't see a Dr etc etc just that I was shocked first time round at how painful the twinges could be and I have spent entire evenings in quite a bit of pain as my insides re-arrange themselves..... Don't know if that's reassuring or not reading back Confused

Hi I've been hovering over thread for a while, I'm 12 weeks and 3 days, due 14 th of September. I think pains are quite common in early pregnancy, however if you are really worried you should contact doctor or MW

Congrats on the twins Mrs

We had some nice news yesterday. DH's parents will be moving back to the UK by the end of September after being overseas for 6 years. Little do they know that there will be a grandchild due at the same time Smile It will be nice to have grandparents close by. When we tell them about the baby in two weeks time DH is going to say something like 'you're moving just in time, you can come and babysit' then we'll wait for the penny to drop Grin

I've been quiet for ages, have been nervously reading and worrying about everyone's results and scans.

Had my scan today and got put forward 8 days. Superficially all well, though baby being naughty and moving every time she tried to take a measurement. So surreal to know that what you see on screen is going on inside of you! Have my fingers crossed for everyone having a hard time.

Despite being 13 weeks, still feel nauseous and can't cope with food smells. Struggling with exercise, I feel fine when doing it, but the next day I am comatose! Hoping that I can find some Pilate's or yoga classes now that the scan is ok. Have been getting approx 70% of calories from wheetabix.

I am really excited but have to wait to tell my mums family, it is my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary party in two weeks and everyone will be there, so taking the opportunity to promote them to great grandparents Smile

shinjuku09 · 05/03/2015 18:06

That's lovely Strawberry! Congrats on the scans everyone.

Thinking of you kitty

SpamAnderson · 05/03/2015 19:02

Can't believe it's my scan tomorrow at long last! I got my BFP 9 weeks ago today so it feels like it's been forever already! I was so sure I'd have caved and told the dds at least! We're telling them tomorrow after the scan if all goes well :) will get them to put on their thing 1 and 2 tshirts and get them to pose for a photo with the thing 3 baby body suit and see how long it takes them to realise! Got my worries as some of us have had bad news at the scans. I Heard baby's heartbeat again last night so I know he's still swimming about in there. Fingers crossed for a good result tomorrow :)
Good luck to the other ladies having their scans tomorrow :)

Jessica32 · 05/03/2015 19:12

Elio I know what you mean about surreal. DP keeps reminding me that its still inside me and I didn't leave it in the monitor at the hospital! Think he finds it more real than me at times.Grin

Kittykitty05 · 05/03/2015 19:27

Ahhhhhhh after waiting for an appointment for amino, it's been bumped to tomorrow. Just prolonging this agony.

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 05/03/2015 19:34

Oh kitty, how frustrating!

How long does it take to get the results?

SpamAnderson · 05/03/2015 20:30

Oh kitty how frustrating :(

Toffeegirl39 · 05/03/2015 21:27

kitty I hope you get the test soon and the results are a lovely surprise. Thinking of you. Flowers

amyjojos · 05/03/2015 21:37

Hello all. Hoping I can join in. I'm 12 + 2 due on sept 15th. My scan is next Wednesday , I just can't wait!! We had IVF so been lucky to have scans at 7 and 9 weeks but I feel super anxious now. Just need to see the lil seahorse! Is there a facebook group at all? Hope everyone is well. Xx

Toffeegirl39 · 05/03/2015 21:39

Hi amy Welcome! Think there is a fb group too - look through the last thread there should be a link somewhere.

bonzo77 · 05/03/2015 21:42

kitty so sorry to hear about you prolonged limbo. I really hope that they see you tomorrow and you are not kept lingering over the weekend. At least with an amnio you will Know 100% if there is a problem, not just be given a risk which frankly is meaningless.

worry pregnancy is a worrying time, and for most of human history has been really dangerous. In fact it still is for most women alive today. It's natural to be worried. Do you have a named midwife to speak to? I think you said earlier that you didn't. My last pregnancy was awful. I'm a low level worrier anyway, but my anxiety was off the wall. I was at EPU or maternity triage most weeks with some concern or another (too much discharge, not enough discharge, feeling very sick, not feeling pregnant, odd foetal movements, no foetal movements). Eventually someone twigged and I was referred to their women's psychology service. It didn't help much, but did give me an outlet. This time round things have changed, and I actually have a named midwife who coordinates my care and is available to either call or text or email more or less any time. It's made a big difference. DS1 had chicken pox, and was anxious about my immunity. The GP was concerned but it was going to take ages to get blood taken and results back. I called my MW and she got is all organised there an then. I really hope you get it sorted.

So, 12 weeks today and my nausea has all but gone. I've got some energy back. Spent today cleaning my car and cooking for DS1's birthday party. Slightly regretting "tidying" the millionaires' shortbread by eating all the wonky bits.

Treaclepie19 · 05/03/2015 21:54

Anyone else struggling with constipation? I'm on lactulose for wind and constipation. It's helping a bit, helped a lot with the wind.
I've got this crazy theory though that since I've upped my dose thats what's making me sick.

Anyway, it's eased the constipation but I wouldn't say it's back to normal. Is that just pregnancy mahem?

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 05/03/2015 22:06

Treacle I did have a few issues but seem to be over it now, just been keeping my fluid intake high. Never really had it before so definitely pregnancy linked!

Treaclepie19 · 05/03/2015 22:32

Thanks lastnight, i don't think it helps that recently I've been being sick so my medicine hasn't had time to go down anyway.

OP posts:
bonzo77 · 05/03/2015 22:32

i had terrible constipation with DS2. Ended up with an anal fissure which I had finally got round to getting treated when I had to cancel the op due to this BFP! Anyway, get Movicol. Lactulose gives me terrible wind. Movicol is a powder you mix with water. You take one sachet a day and then increase till you are comfortable. it's very safe and does not cause stomach ache like proper laxatives can. The more water you drink with it the better it works. you can buy it over the counter but it's quite expensive. Might as well get a presciption.

Treaclepie19 · 05/03/2015 22:35

Thanks bonzo, see it can't be too severe as I am still going. Just not as regularly.
I'll see how I go then ill go back to the doctors.
