Wow, TheMShip that's brilliant! Can't believe you know the sex already!

IndomitabIe · 28/08/2015 12:43

maybe she has a thread on the mc board. Had a bad week by the sound of it. Not sure if she'll want to hear from us. Poor thing. Scan is later today. Sad

I must be hormonal - went all teary at your ickle baybee pic rosie. Soooo cute! Good luck to everyone else having scans today.

Waves to my EDD buddy trijo.

Oh yes to the weeing. It was one of my first pregnancy symptoms and I'd convinced myself I had diabetes Blush Can't wait for the nausea to ease, although suspect I've got a few weeks to go yet.

Gorgeous scan pic rosie! Sorry we're not due date buddies anymore but great you've been brought forward :-)

Rosieblossom123 · 28/08/2015 13:31

Crispy aww bless you, I was so teary the whole time, so overwhelming in a good way isn't it :)

lilmiss I know :( but I had a feeling I was over to be honest. my stepson's bday is on the 25th Feb I hope there's no clash haha Dec, Feb and March are going to be expensive!!!

Rosieblossom123 · 28/08/2015 13:31

maybe Thank you hun :)

TheMshipIsBack · 28/08/2015 13:41

IndomitabIe I know, it's amazing! We didn't find out first time with DS, but this time my SIL's SIL (if that makes sense) has two girls and is done, so she offered us all the clothes if we were having a girl too, so we figured since we were doing the DNA testing anyway, may as well find out. It makes it easier with names, too, as DH and I both still like the girl name we chose for DS, but were in complete disagreement about potential second boy names!

You can do Harmony from 10 weeks (recommended 11), it's expensive, but I'm 36 and preferred this to having an amnio later on. I got the results back one week after having the blood drawn, before I even had the NHS 12 week scan. I'd already had an early scan at just shy of 8 weeks to check for a heartbeat, so I didn't need to pay the extra for another scan with the Harmony test.

The nausea's just awful still - keeping me up at night, and the lack of sleep makes it worse. I was queasy till 16 weeks with DS, so hopefully I've only got a few more weeks to go as I'm 13 weeks tomorrow.

IndomitabIe · 28/08/2015 14:22

Wow, I've just looked up just how expensive it is. That's somewhere between a month's mortgage and a month's childcare. Woah.

Got put off before I could check, but do they only check for Down's & other trisomies or will it pick up other genetic conditions? (DH has a genetic condition).

gemsparkle84 · 28/08/2015 15:21

I've just treated myself to a Pepsi (I work in a pub and was feeling really thirsty and it was all I fancied) anyway I also had a small coffee this morning now I've clearly had too much caffeine as in shaking and feel rubbish and sick and I feel so bad for my baby... It must be feeling it too. Chuffing hell no more Pepsi/ coffee for me again I feel awful! Hope it's ok!!

BeautifulLiar · 28/08/2015 15:22

Beautiful pic Rosie, baby looks so big! Congrats.

Rosieblossom123 · 28/08/2015 15:26

Beautiful Thanks hun, I wish I could feel him/her kick!

dobbythedoggy · 28/08/2015 15:32

Congratlations to all those who have had their scans and welcome to all the newbies.

My skin is awful at the moment, covered in spots on my back, face and chest. I was the same way with dd, but feel much more spotty this time.

Stopped taking my sickness meds the middle of the week and had 24 hours of feeling great. Since then I seem to have developed a niggling cold and coughing keeps making me sick. Back to having to be really careful about what and how much I eat. But at least it's not that awful constant sea sick feeling.

Hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow paper.

Rosieblossom123 · 28/08/2015 15:36

dobby same here my scan is horrible, my back, chest and face :( don't know what to do this morning I washed my face and it was so red and sore never ever had that, blame the hormones I guess!

BeautifulLiar · 28/08/2015 16:32

Gem I'm having too much caffeine. I didn't even realise but I've been having pepsi max cherry and a shit load of chocolate. Fuck.

Rosieblossom123 · 28/08/2015 17:03

dobby I meant scan btw hahaha

Rosieblossom123 · 28/08/2015 17:19

Skin! seriously my brain is all mushy!!

TheBubGrower · 28/08/2015 18:06

Loving the scan pics.

Another one with bad skin since my bfp here, but very long nails on the plus side! I'm wondering if that's the supplements?

Hey me624 I see we're EDD buddies! 13 weeks today, very exciting, I love reading the weekly development updates in the pregnancy books and online, one more week down!

Just bought myself my first pair of maternity jeans and feeling excited. If anyone is interested there are some great deals on Next online on the maternity clearance pagesSmile

Missikat · 28/08/2015 18:43

rosie beautiful scan pic, really detailed! Really pleased all is looking well.

Mine also went well and has put my mind at ease! Baby was very lazy, sleeping I guess, so they struggled to get some of the measurements. I had to do some jumping about to get then to move position! Funnily didn't get emotional at all, I think just the relief of seeing there is a baby there and it has a heartbeat overtook the emotion (no early scan here and hardly and symptoms so lots of worry!). Due date is 7th march, spot on for my LMP date and two days earlier than I thought from my Ov date. Any DD buddies out there?

Good luck to paper and for your big day too! there was someone else having a scan today too wasn't there? Hope they've all gone well.

I also have amazing nails, longer than they ever grow, plus lots of weeing and also some weird vivid (sometimes sexual!) dreams. Pregnancy is a funny thing. So pleased to finally feel I can relax a little.

Smirkingpicnicbasket · 28/08/2015 19:11

missikat I've gained 3 days so 12+4 and also due on the 7th March! Grin

All well here, scan was great to see jumpy baby for the first time and strong heartbeat! Very tired and a little emotionally exhausted now!

Smirkingpicnicbasket · 28/08/2015 19:12

Scan pictures a bit rubbish - looks like it has chicken legs but apparently DH says that's the cord!

Rosieblossom123 · 28/08/2015 19:48

Missikat and Smirking I'm glad all went went today :) we could all finally relax a little bit now can't we. Smirking I love the scan picture, so adorable!!
Missikat looking forward to seeing yours. Can't believe I had to pay £10 for 3 pics what a rip off!!

Missikat · 28/08/2015 19:51

rosie we had to pay £10 for 3 too! Where are you? Here's my scan, definitely not as good as the pics we got of DS but just happy to see him/her!
