I can't even remember what is in a Bounty pack. I won't be accepting one

I also got hounded by marketing emails after a loss - it was those cunts at WhatToExpect. They got the sharp end of my tongue.

I am soooooo tired today. I could really nod off at my desk.

Counting down the days to my 8+2 scan - only a week today! Anyone else got scans coming up?

Also please tell me I'm not the only one who knicker and loo roll-checks after every toilet visit?!

Ah, it's good to hear about other symptomless peeps

Raffertys I was just wondering this morning how many weeks it'll be before I stop on the loo roll checks

I almost said "I'm not pregnant, I've just gained weight..." But then I just said thanks and we're not due till February so nobody actually knows yet. DH was surprised I didn't tear her head off. I just froze which is very unlike me!

I'm also looking at reusable sanpro, bamboo pads for the grim post birth bleeding/sludge. The disposable ones are absolutely horrendous, I despise them!

As for wiping/pants checking, I do that and I'm still POAS

I know FB is considered the devil here on MN but my Timehop App threw up my youngests 7 week scan this morning. Cue emotional crying at 6:30am.

Bounty can fuck off. 6 hours after I had my youngest they thumped on my private room door until I got up and let them in, before I knew what was happening she was man handling my newborn and shoving a camera with a flash in her face I regained my senses and told her to get the fuck away from my baby I'm a classy bird I'm still that she just picked my baby up! All I could think was what about the women who may have had a traumatic birth, or had a stillbirth, and have these harpies in their faces?!

sorry to hear Raffertys

I do check very day and every day same- brown discharge. It does not worry me that much any more though. it is just strange that it can go for so long, where it comes from? implantation should be long time done already.

yes Zebras, that's why I thought it would be a good idea to add a column to the spreadsheet with symptoms/lack to reassure some of us, that we're not alone :)

I have a scan on the 27th June! Before my booking appointment with the MW haha!

I looking at the Teenyfit on TotsBots, my babies have all been on the smaller side and wouldn't fit the other newborn sizes for a while. I'm not worried about poos as breastfed poos are really soft and won't require much faffing with, although they do poo alot more than FF. (I FF eldest, mixed fed my second, BF my third)

My weight dropped off quickly with third because although I was constantly starving I was eating non crumby foods (I had an irrational fear of crisp/cake/any crumbs getting on her face/in her eyes...) I remember craving bananas and milkshake.

wow great for you Stocking!

yeah, I don't know how it is with poo as I never ever had to take care of an infant. it actually worries me a lot, since I will have no help from family(my mum passed away some years ago) and friends as they are far away. I will have to depend on MW and your advice guys ;) I really hope I will be able to BF for long time. I'm terrified of the moment when I will have to compose a meal plan for my baby with all necessary nutritions but without the meat products. I will always feel scared that it's not getting everything it needs. When I was eating meat I didn't care about nutritions. My diet was definitely poorer than now, but I would not bother checking if I've got everything what I need from food. Nowadays (PG) I'm like a dietician almost- going through all the nutrition tables.

jelly I got married last April when 5 months pg with DS and it was lovely. Very, very small wedding but it was perfect for us.

I'm planning on using a sling too. I haven't used one with DD or DS but with an 18 month gap I don't think I'll have much choice! I'll have the baby in the sling and DS in the buggy so hopefully I'll get a double-whammy on the weight loss side of things!

Speaking of that I ate a ton of shite over the weekend. Haribos, wispa bits, caramel things, dominos pizza....

Yesterday was by far my worst day so far. Felt as if I had been hit by a truck all day. Better today but so not bothered with work. Doing my best to stop mumsnetting concentrate.

Raffertys I have my scan on Thursday evening! I'm looking forward to it at the moment but I know I will be nervous on the day.

I was up most of the night with my 1 year old so I'm particularly useless today - and snowed under with work too.... lunch is over so better get back to it!

Hi everyone. Got my BFP this morning, due 23rd Feb. Bit scared, had an early mc last time, so just hoping this one sticks!

Honey :D :D :D :D :D

Yay Jelly! Ain't nothing going to keep us apart!

Congrats honey and stick on Bean!

Stocking, they picked your baby up. WTAF!? I have never heard of these stories before.

Yep she picked my baby up. Instant rage.

Am going back 4.5 years now, mind.

These bounty people sound dreadful!

Yes raffertys I still check each time I go to the loo!

Going for scan at EPU tomorrow morning as long as DH can get time off work as they need to check how far along I am. LMP says 9 weeks, I think I'm 6 nearly 7. What should I hope to see/be told at scan if I'm 6/7? Extremely anxious about this and trying not to focus on worse case scenarios.

Wcome newbies & congratulations!

Best of luck for the scan tomorrow Ratty! Let us know how it goes. I don't think you will see much, just a little heartbeat flickering away. It will likely be an internal scan, but I haven't had one myself so others can better advise

Ratty as others have said it will probably need to be an internal scan at that stage. Depending on the quality of the scanner you should see a sac, a little smudge of the fetal pole, and the little heart flickering away. They will measure the fetal pole (CRL) to give you an estimated gestation.

Best of luck with it!

This was my 7+3 scan with DD2.

Bottom blob: head.
Top blob: feet.
Blob on the left: the sac, pre placenta.

This was an abdominal scan, I drank a lot of water that morning!

Aw stocking how cute! That's a good clear scan - and a great shaped gestational sac (now there's a weird compliment for ya!!!). I was just looking at my 6 week scan with DS - where does the time go?! I managed an abdominal scan at 7 weeks last time but at 6-7 weeks I'd be preparing for an internal just in case.

I'm currently sat browsing m&s for her school uniform, she starts school full time in September sob

I'm prepping for an internal on the 27th, I'll be 6-7 weeks then. If I don't need one then its a bonus! I expected to need one back then and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't.

I feel emotional even thinking about school even though it's a few years away for me! They are just so tiny and cute in their little uniforms!

Speaking of which, I'm an emotional wreck these days - I cried at the nationwide advert with the scarf yesterday and then again when a child tripped while out playing in front of my house and cut his little knee!
