Ooooppppsss I told one off my friends today..... we've been doing our Xmas shopping together most Friday's and thought we'd have it done this week but we haven't, so on the way home she said same time next week, i said yes definitely, then remembered I've got my scan on Thursday so working Friday, proceeded to shout 'no, no, no I can't' waving my hands round like a looney, my friend gave me a slanted look and asked why, I ended up in fits - i mean fits of uncontrollable giggles telling her I had to work, but she finally got out the truth, I'm such a rubbish liar and not really planned to tell her like that lol!!! Just hope everything's ok on Thursday xxx

Beautiful scan pics Earlgrey and Biffle!! Good luck to those still waiting.

Biffle we are due date twins, I also got moved to 10th June x

My scan date is taking FOREVER to come round...roll on the 15th!! Had a play around with my Doppler tonight and heard the magical heartbeat! Excitedly told DP when he came home that I heard the heartbeat and maybe we'll use it together over the weekend...he looked horrified and said "I think you're better off doing that by yourself" I got upset and asked why he wouldn't want to...turns out because all my early scans were internal he thought that was where the doppler went too...put him straight pretty sharpish 😂😵😂

Lol carrie that's hilarious poor dp X we are scan date buddies it isn't coming quickly enough for me X does the Doppler not panic u more if u can't find heartbeat right away x

That's so funny Carrie!! I'm the same scan is the 14th it does seem ages still. On a plus I have hit 12 weeks today :)

I feel like something's wrong today, all my symptoms have gone, even my sore boobs have disappeared oh said I'm being silly I've probably got used to feeling naff but it feels like even my tums deflated 😢

lovelybeano I am sure there is nothing to worry about, symptoms come and go. Try to be positive, not long to the scan now x

carrie and loulou I'm the same scan date! So nervous and excited! I really want to get a Doppler, may get one after Christmas! Xx

Hi LouLou I've told myself that hearing anything before my 16wk midwifes appt is a bonus. I'm telling my brothers & step mum this weekend so I hoped to have that little bit of reassurance that all is ok, then the Doppler went back in the cupboard to stop me using it too much!

Lovely that there's still plenty of us to have our scans MrsLewis & Bella keep the excitement going before we all settle into the 2nd trimester!

Sure everything is ok lovelybeano my symptoms gave come and gone throughout

Mrslewis best £20 I've spent in a long time I love having a little listen in there!

Morning all, I actually slept in today and didn't wake up because I feel sick! I also woke up crying in the night tho that was weird, I remember crying in my dream over something random and when I woke up I was actually crying

Beano I wouldn't worry just enjoy it, I've been feeling a bit better again the last few days since hitting 12 weeks.

Hello everyone, all ok chez Madrigal. I am continuing to improve from the hyperemesis which is a massive relief. I have lost a lot of weight though, and wasn't really thinking about that when I ordered my maternity clothes so they are all much too big for me! I look ridiculous in them. Think I will need to send them back and get different sizes, which is annoying becuase I could really do with a pair of maternity jeans right now!

At 14+1 I'm getting v excited about being pregnant and the idea of a new baby to hold! So excited in fact that I've just posted a thread on the baby names board (even though I never usually like that board)-I'm definitely getting carried away!

potkettle I'm excited too but only 11+3 (scan on Monday!!!) We have a few name ideas, probably do what we did last time - once we had 1st scan we discussed, rattled down to one name per sex and then we know after the 2nd scan what baby will be called. We don't tell anyone though. Luckily both of mine have suited their names on birth but I can't imagine changing them after knowing what they would be called for 20wks lol.

Just snuggled up in sofa with dd1, dd2 is at a sleepover. Can't wait to tell them on Monday evening.

Iamdivergant ill be telling mine of Monday after the scan too can't wait, it's been really hard keeping it from them.

It's going to be great betty they have been really good especially with me feeling so crappy, I'm very lucky.

As anyone heard of implantation bleeding at 12wks? I found a bit of blood today and have been cramping on and off for a few days. Spoke to midwife as concerned this is beginning of a miscarriage (had one in August) and she said it could me implantation bleed. I always thought that was just in very early days.
Anyway I have scan on weds but that seems so long to wait. I'm meant to be seeing her tomorrow for booking in apt, so I asked if she could look for heartbeat, but she said that's only possible after 16 weeks. Did I imagine it or have I read on here that others have already found a heartbeat themselves? I couldn't help but feel she was fobbing me off, or am I being unfair?

I think others have found the heartbeats but midwives don't like to check before 16wks incase they cause distress as they are not always able to hear.

Oh I see, that makes sense. This wait is just so hard. I'm trying not to overreact but it's not easy.

You're right, it's not easy at all. I wrenched my belly earlier on standing up too quick, and I have niggle pains but nothing I can do , just try and get on with it. Such a stressful time.

Obsessed1 thats what my midwife said they don't like to cause worry, baby is so small at the minute it's hard to find. Im 12 weeks today and found the heartbeat last week you do have to angle the doppler downwards maybe she will have a go if you tell her it would help put you at ease until your scan x

Thanks xx I get the impression that she's got too many cases on her plate and won't have the time but I could try. There's no harm in asking again. I will contact the epu if I see any more blood though.

obsessed I had an implantation bleed at 8 weeks and they said I could bleed again because there was still blood in the womb so not all implantation bleeds happen at the beginning, hope that helps a little xxxx

I have been listening to the heartbeat on my Doppler since 9 weeks, only once or twice a week. Sometimes I find it straight away other times it has taken me 5-10 mins, I imagine midwifes don't do it because it takes time and patience at this stage.

Hope all is ok obsessed. I've had some cramping today but think mine was wind

obsessed1 what the midwife probably meant by implantation bleed is that it is old blood which has finally made its way out. I had that at 6 weeks. I am sure its nothing to worry about. I agree though that wednesday seems so far away. Definitely try and push for doppler I'd say. You never know, she might agree.
