March 2016 bus chugging along, sickness and early scans galore!

[Kittykitty05]

Not started a new thread before, so I'll give it a go....

Thanks herewego for the stats, I'll take a look today

Me, my scan is before 12 weeks. I'll be 11+3 by dates but I think I'll actually only be 11+1 or 11+2. If it's too soon do you think they will rebook me for nuchal?!

I'm not sure why they sent that date through and not a week later.

Excited about it though. Two weeks today!!!

Here's hoping us sickies have a good day today, I seem to have some worse than others. Off to visit a nursery today for ds. Looking forward to that!

My scan I have booked is technically an early scan with my fetal med consultant but it's at 11 weeks as was the earliest we could coordinate. As I think I ovulated early we may get nuchal measurement but if not I'll just have to go back the next week.

Serious tiredness and nausea here too. Today is my last working day of the week....feel a bit lazy in some ways as DH works full time...but honestly 5pm can't come fast enough. I just want to curl up under the duvet and hibernate until 12 weeks. Please?!!! Also feeling the cold all of a sudden...had to wear my winter pjs last night and asked DH if we could have the heat on. Flat no. Guess he has a point-it is July after all!

I've had three appointments through from the hospital now so feeling well set up and lots to look forward to. 12 week scan is August 25th, booking in appt August 14th and August 15th (a Saturday weirdly) to see the obstetrician. They're going to see me from the start given my history of mc and the weird placenta issues I had when I was pregnant with DD. Hope being with the obs doesn't rule me out of a midwife led birth if things are low risk. But I'm glad to be seeing the obs as I know I'm going to fret the whole pg about mc risk.

Happ Wednesday all :-)

feeling really rough today...eugh. Loads of dry heaving this morning but I stopped just short of actually being sick, which was annoying actually as I think it would have made me feel better.

Morning.
At the risk of alienating myself, I feel ok this morning. Which is a worry, of course. Especially since we went out last night (saw one of my fave bands!) and I felt ok then too.

I'm holding on to the idea that though I felt ok last night, I really fancied a pizza afterwards but when it arrived I went straight off it. Boo.

I'm hoping it's just still early for me. I'm not expecting to feel heinous for another couple of days.

That website says there's a 90% chance everything is ok. 90%.

I'm really sorry people are feeling bad and I'm moaning that I'm not. So sorry.

Indomitable don't be daft, you're allowed to feel ok!!!

It's pretty hypocritical me telling you not to worry as I was doing the exact same thing a few days ago, but don't - honestly, every pregnancy is different and symptoms really don't tell you anything about how it is progressing. My best friend had a MMC last year and had every single symptom in the book but obviously that didn't turn out well. I genuinely don't think it's much indication.

Sorry to hear so many of you are feeling sick/exhausted, but very exciting that all the 12 week scans will be starting soon!

I've got another 5 weeks until my scan - I'm so impatient!!! At least only 2.5 weeks until my booking in. It will feel a lot more real once I've seen the mw and I have my notes and my little bag of baby product advertisements bounty pack!

Has anyone else still not told anyone apart from their dh/dp? I'm usually rubbish at keeping secrets so I love that no one else knows .

Thanks maybe, the rational part of my brain is winning currently with all those kind of arguments.

There's also the factor that I 'decided' I wouldn't feel as bad this time round (because it's that simple, right) and taking the vitamins with ginger in definitely means they'll be as good as the medication, and even if they're not the placebo effect works even when you know it's a placebo. I have decreed it.

Who was it that starved them self the other day to check they still felt nauseous when hungry?! The gastrointestinal version of boob poking. That's all I need!

Ha, smirking, that's how I feel. I am NOT doing this by myself!

I've got my booking in appt set (self referred to hospital without going to GP) which is August 12 (I'll be 10 weeks which I thought was quite late really) but not my 12 week scan. I will be 12 weeks over the August bank holiday so I guess it should be in early Sept. Do you think I should chase up scan date or just wait til my booking appt?

Indomitable, I also 'decided' I'd be more positive this time round and cope better with the sickness. I wasn't too bad. Then I hit 8 weeks, and I too feel like hibernating until the end of summer.

Really hope the kids don't remember this holiday - we had so many lovely plans but they're all out the window!

indomitable you don't have to apologise! also sorry to say but its still pretty early and sickness could kick in so enjoy it while it lasts! my sickness kicked in at 6+2, now 7+2 I can't believe its only been a week of feeling sick, got so much longer to go.

couldn't sleep last night for awful heartburn, went straight out to the shops this morning with DD in tow and bought some gaviscon. hoping it sorts me out.

I've told people trinpy, my family so far and will tell DPs family this weekend. going by my LMP I'm 8 weeks today so I've been telling people that rather than going by when I'm confident I ovulated since march 8th will be my due date until my scan measurements. I've got my booking in appointment on Monday, which is also my 30th birthday! really looking forward to making things 'official' as it were and getting info on booking my scan etc.

Thanks marmite and glad I've got/had company in the optimism beautiful!

Yeah, I know it's still early days really. But I've had those iffy moments so far and couldn't believe my luck when I felt fine standing 2 metres from a circle pit.

Booking and scan appointments is exciting! My booking in is in 2.5 weeks. I presume I'll be referred for a scan then (I would imagine they won't bother doing the paperwork till I'm past 8 weeks). I'm hoping to get it before I go back to school (but also fairly sure I won't!).

Good news is that despite my 3rd degree tear last time the mw thinks I should still be able to have this one at the MLU down the road.

Told my mum yesterday. She's super excited. I'm telling people but also with the 'it's early so anything could happen' caveat. And also only telling people who I would be happy to un-tell. (So my poor mum has to keep the secret from my dad & sister! Though I know she'll drop huge hints until they guess!)

Indomitable I'm also worrying about not feeling sick. In fact tho it's less that than the not-sore-boobs that's a worry, as they always feel like lead balloons when I'm pregnant but this time nothing.
Added to that a blood test my doctor did last week, I'd assumed was ok as I'd not had a call but today get a letter asking me to go in to discuss their findings from my tests. By some miracle I've got an appointment tomorrow at 10.10, so just a day to worry about all the possibilities. My main thought is they'll say there's no sign of pregnancy....

Really tempted to tell a good friend who lives down the road. She keeps inviting me and the kids to do things and I've turned her down every single time. DH thinks I should just tell her but I dunno.

I just rang the doctors re the sickness. They're going to ring back. I feel so pathetic but this is not fair on the kids (or me!).

My mum and family don't know yet, lots going on with granny at the moment so don't want to add to that if all goes wrong again.

Some of DP's family know, the ones we trust not to tell everyone they know, the rest we will tell after 12 weeks. One person at work knows and my 3 closest friends.

Think we will tell Dp's closest friends this weekend too as we are at a wedding with them and me not drinking is a big giveaway.

Booking in appointment is booked for Tuesday, haven't heard anything about a scan yet but assuming I won't until the midwife at booking in has my details.

kitty my boobs are also not sore at all, which I worried a bit about as with DD they hurt loads. but I realised I only stopped bf DD six months ago and until recently could still get milk out so maybe everything is still in place or something and less changes are happening? I'm kinda hoping that's it, trying not to read too much into it

Ah marmite that's a good thought. I only delivered back in March, he was stillborn so I obviously didn't feed but my milk was there for a couple of months after. That could explain things a bit. I'll hold onto that thought instead of thinking of it as a bad sign. Thank you x

Lots of appointments and scans to look forward to! Sadly not mine yet, I rang the hospital and they couldn't find me on their system the midwife told me to wait a week and a half from booking in by which time she said I'd definitely be on there, but I'm not. They told me to call the midwife to check she's definitely entered me on at her end, if she has then I just have to wait a few days. Given my holiday I really want to get the scan booked asap otherwise if they can't get me in by the time I'm back it will be too late to do the nuchal fold thing.

Also supreme exhaustion here - could fall asleep at my desk! Although managed not to fall asleep in front of the TV last night which is a first this last week or so. It would be so nice to skip past the first trimester and the dating scan to the much more pleasant second trimester.

I cannot speak highly enough of the MN antenatal threads that migrate to FB. Our Sept 2013 group is still going strong with 60+ members. We only set it up towards end of third trimester though. They are a fab bunch of ladies who helped me through the trials and tribulations of early parenting and I've even met up with some of them. I can't recommend it enough but probably better to wait a little while. It is a lot easier to keep track of different conversations and questions though.

Feeling ever so sick over here, threw up breakfast this morning and haven't quite recovered!

I'm feeling buoyed up by my early scan and have cracked and ordered some nice thick maternity tights from h and m, along with a nice loose jumper. That should help my stomach feel better and tide me over until I can drag the maternity clothes out of the loft (to be instantly replaced as they're all 3 years old and the wrong season...)

Hi everyone.

On and off queasiness over here, but thankfully not for the past two days. It seems to be worse if I have anything sweet to eat so have been avoiding.

Constant tiredness, was awake at 4.30 this morning for no reason which doesn't help.

We have a private early scan booked in for next weekend (only £40) so looking forward to that. Only told my DM. We may tell DPIL after the early scan as have been avoiding them so far, they would be very suspicious if I didn't accept a drink, we live in walking distance from them so no excuses!

Will join the FB group if the 12 week scan goes well - only 5 more weeks to wait!

Hello

Can I join, please? Pregnant with DC3. EDD 10th March. I have a DD (5) and a DS (2). I joined the MN April 13 group when I was pregnant with DS and most of us still keep in touch via FB.

Feeling horrifically sick and very tired. Fun!

Hi Adorbs, due date twin! I'm the 10th too

Eaten two chocolate bars today, I'm ashamed of myself.
