June 2016 #3, 12 week scans - Will you PLEASE hurry up?

[nehagarg]

Thread Number 3, people!! This is one chatty bus!

For all babies due June 2016

The stats are here

Just like last time I feel like pregnancy has turned me lactose intolerant! I can't have ANY milk, and I can only cope with a tiny bit of milk or cheese. I had homemade cream of tomato soup yesterday and I couldn't keep that down either, I suspect because of the cream.

I've only just started drinking milk again since being off it from the last pregnancy and DD is nearly 2!! Because it had made me sick for so long I was out right off the taste until recently.

Aposey I feel the same, I still can't get my head round it, just had to push my reassurance scan back a week, by then if my dates are right I will be 8 weeks on the dot so it might be easier to see baby

Im glad its not just me HarleyQuinn! Im worried about the scan today too- by my guestimation I should be 7+6 since I have really short cycles, but as the midwife put me down as a few days different Im now worried Im not as far along as I think I am. Im hoping the scan today will help me stop fretting and just get on with it all haha!

Hello guys, thank you for the support. Had a scan today, they could see the bleed but it was separate from baby who was in the right place with heartbeat . So looking very positive at the moment!

Ohh how exciting what time is your scan Aposey? Just had my scan date through, 24 November I'm very excited.

That's great news Lemon so pleased for you. What a lovely scan pic.

Lovely to see some new faces on here, congratulations!

We told my inlaws last night... It was very sweet! Tears, champagne (for them and a taste for me!) and lots of talk of when he was born! Made it all feel a bit more real!

Hope everyone that's feeling so bad is doing ok, mines been a bit better, but still not great!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Congrats on the great scan slice!

Sliceoflemon so pleased for you that everything is ok, that must have been scary.

Have people arriving here in an hour and going out for Halloween tonight.. Still feeling sick so not sure how well I will last!!

Lovely scan lemon I've been feeling rough all day! Couldn't eat until 1 and DH went and got me a McDonald's, I ate it and stayed sat up in a dining hair which was uncomfortable but seemed to help keep it down. We are going to a Halloween party type thing at a national trust property so hopefully feel OK for that!

Anyone else got any plans for tonight?

That's good you kept something down iamdivirgent. I'm Taking my dcs trick or treating, I hate the idea of it and have never took them before but they had costumes from dress up day at school before they broke up for half term and they've begged me, I haven't done much with them this half term due to weather and feeling shite so I gave in

Marking my place! Haven't been on much as busy with DS1 and trying not to think too much about bean in case it doesn't stick. But have made it to 8wk3days, just got booking in appointment and 12week scan date so it's all getting a bit more real. If I'm honest I'm worrying there'll be nothing in there come the scan, but fretting won't change the outcome so I'm just trying to put those thoughts to the back of my mind. Not working 100% but worth a try, right?!
Hope everyone's feeling ok. Xx

Amber it was at 2pm.

Just got back from the scan and I still cant quite believe it! It was extraordinary to see the tiny creature and even a little heart beat. Apparently despite my short cycles Im actually more like 7+2 than 7+6 so I feel like Ive gont back in time half a week! Im so impatient

Last time round I went in expecting to be 12wks and ended up back to 10+2 which sucked and she arrived on her due date!

Great news lemon ! I've felt great today , no sickness or nausea (touch wood) and it's made such a difference to my mood! Went shopping with my mom though and was so hard no to say anything but now I'm looking more like 7wks instead of 9wks I feel like I'm back in uncertainty territory!

is it just me or do nausea / tender nipples come and go. Getting paranoid that I feel less sick than a week ago.
My tiredness shows no sign of easing up though. Will probably be in bed at 9pm again tonight!

Evening all! Have a good one those of you at Halloween parties tonight. We had trick or treating on our estate last night, followed by a braai. I had a glass of wine and no one noticed it was only a glass and not a bottle!!
I've caught DS cold and he has kept me up the last few nights because he can't breathe so am feeling utterly shite today. In fact I allowed him to watch ice age 1,2 & 3, scooby doo and then I sat and watched enchanted with him!!!!!
Lazy bad mummy.
The GP called this morning to confirm I really am pg (I have few symptoms - going off food mainly - especially dairy. How could pg make me lactose intolerant?!!). She said I'm spot on for being 7 weeks. She also told me I'm over medicated on my thyroid meds so need to reduce those. Sadly my antibodies are still really high. This scares me because they increase likelihood of MC, still birth, adhd & autism. I'm already gluten free and soy free so no idea what else I can do to bring them down.... Eek.

miracles, to answer your question about the progesterone it did make my boobs sore but mildly so. They are very tender now so I assume it's because of the pregnancy. I'm also feeling all day nausea now but not enough to be sick. Unfortunately, it's better when you eat but I can't eat all day long!

Hi all, sorry for being so quiet, I've been following all of your posts though. I'm 7+1 today, feeling fine apart from feeling lightheaded when I wake up and my poop is like rabbit pellets! I'm not getting a reassurance scan as it's £150 and I'm concerned I'd worry more about going for the scan! Like everyone else, I'm just desperately waiting for the 12 week scan! This is my first baby after trying for several years we were fortunate enough to conceive on month 1 of Clomid! Is anyone else having a Clomid baby? Or is anyone else not having a reassurance scan and if so why? Thanks so much and sending positive thoughts out to all of us xx

I'm not having the reassurance scan because I can't justify the cost, we have 2 dds already and with Christmas coming up there is no way we could afford to.

I only had one because I was seeing a private doctor to help me get pregnant and I was / am still on cyclogest. So the doctor likes to scan all his patients at 7 weeks to check for viability.
Statistically it's very rare for missed miscarriages so there's every chance every thing is totally fine and you'll see a bouncing little baby at your 12 week scan!

Hi beano re. my exercise regime, thus far my only amendments to it have been due to my cold rather than to my pregnancy. But all my cardio at the moment comes from distance running and spin classes, both of which I've read that you can theoretically do until you pop! I was hoping to do my first run for a couple of weeks today, as I'm terrified of letting anything go and then not having the strength or energy to pick it back up again, but I've had a bit of a nosebleed this morning so suspect it wouldn't be wise.

I've read a few times that classes involving jumping up and down in any way aren't recommended in pregnancy, but then you hear about women who manage to attend boot camps and circuits throughout! I'm finding abdominal work harder so I've been taking that a bit easier, and weights seem to take more toll on my arms than before, but generally I'm hoping to carry on as I was - but sensibly - until the end of the first trimester. When it comes to cardio I'll just have to listen to my body I suppose. I know fitness junkie friends who haven't been able to cope with anything more than old lady-style aqua aerobics after a few months in.

Lovely scan pic lemon! mrsmugoo you are exactly right - all this worry when the most likely outcome of any pregnancy is a perfectly healthy baby! It's a mantra I have to repeat to myself at least once a day

emma and divergent I'm not getting a reassurance scan either - what decided it for me is that it's double the cost of all the other types of private scan. I can't think of any other reason for that other than to cash in on women's first trimester worries, and that suspicion leaves me so cold that I can't stand the thought of shelling out for it.

I'm not getting a scan either, I'm working on the basis that positive test + no pain + no bleeding = probably fine. I know missed miscarriages happen, but have also had friends miscarry after seeing a heartbeat (although this is rare too) so I am not sure I would be totally reassured by seeing it.

I feel exactly the same as I did in my last pregnancy, which I'm taking to be a good sign. Just keeping my fingers tightly crossed for us all.

My exercise regime is mainly walking to the fridge, so not much help there, although I know people who ran well into the third trimester.

I'm not having an early scan either, I'd like to but can't justify the cost in the run up to Christmas with 2 kids. It might make me feel better now but won't help little one stick.....wish something would lol!! I'm really hoping to get a 4d one later on
