August 2016 (3) - scans fast approaching, teeny tiny bumps appearing, and sickness easing....we hope!

[FourForYouGlenCoco]

Well we filled the last thread up fast! Seems we talk a lot round these parts

Thanks Coco

Thanks for the new thread, we are a chatty bunch

It's 2.48 in the morning, I'm currently sat up in bed after eating my second cheese sandwich in 20 minutes. Hunger woke me up and I was awake for ages trying to ignore it. I couldn't fight it anymore.

I'm officially a little piggy. I've reached a new low!

Oh wow stranded that's totally going to be me! I've been awake since 5, and it's a rare time when my alarm isn't due to go off until 7.
I've just been trying to get back to sleep. I thought reading the posts might help me nod off again!!

Hahaha stranded hilarious! I reckon it's only a matter of time for all of us.
Scan day today, yay! It's at 9.30 in the city centre and traffic is dreadful in the mornings so we're all up bright and early ready to go in good time it's so nice to have DH here! He's taking Friday off as well, nice to have him around. Family day planned today. DD is ridiculously overexcited that her dad is here even though it's not the weekend. Happy happy days

Marking my place

Good Luck GlenCoco, looking forward to hearing how it goes. Mine is at 4:10, so have to do some work first!

Good Luck GlenCoco and Mrs1986

We had our scan at 8am this morning. In and out nice and quick. I got my bloods done at the same time. All good - phew! Baby was waving and wiggling its little stumps (?!) Measuring 11 weeks so EDD 11th Aug. I'm so relieved. I'm at work so I can't post the scan pic, but will do so later.

morning everyone and thanks for the new thread coco !

GOOD LUCK with scans today coco and Mrs

Elle so glad everything went well for you, post a pic when you can!

I too was up all hours last night, 4 times to pop to the loo which is a new record. My midwife told me it was hormones rather than anything pushing down on the bladder at this stage...just wish it would stop. When I woke at 4am I was starving, tummy grumbling and started to get a headache. Drank some water and managed to fall back to sleep but think I might also need a sandwich stash on my bedside table stranded !!

Lily are you feeling better??

pea any joy with the doppler last night?

Are you getting many headaches Bear?
I'm getting them quite a lot. I always drink about 2L of water every day but i have found this last week (ish) that I'm not weeing as much, and I'm when I do go, it's very concentrated like I've haven't had anything to drink!
I wonder if I need to try and drink more but to be honest I don't really know how, I already drink what I think is a lot!!

Thats funny you should say that Mrs as I have been experiencing the exact same thing. I drink at least 2.5L of water a day + herbal tea's and I am finding when I go to the loo its concentrated and (sorry if this sounds weird!) doesn't flow as much, I feel like I am bursting for the loo but when I go it's not as satisfying. Just this morning I decided I was going to spread out my supplements throughout the day to see if that helps as I am currently taking them all with dinner, so was thinking they might be interfering overnight?!

Have only been getting headaches when I am hungry and then this morning when I woke up, again I thought I would try to change when I take the supplements to see if that helps as it was the only thing I can think of!!

Anyone else finding this?

bear for the first day in weeks I am ketone free which is good. I've discovered I can seem to eat Mac cheese so trying to focus on that. I'm due back at work a week today so hoping this is it. We have our NHS scan tomorrow afternoon so can't wait for that.

Oooh lily I lived on Heinz tinned macaroni cheese when pg with DD! In real life I think it's vile but at the time I couldn't get enough.

Scan went well, I got a huge wave of relief when I saw the heartbeat! Baby was tucked right down and wouldn't play ball at all, I had to wiggle around, go for a walk etc before she could get any measurements and even then it took a while! We saw baby kicking and moving, opening & closing its mouth, even saw its tiny hands and feet - ten teeny toes already all present and correct, just amazing. Dates were exactly in line with mine, 12+6 today, giving me a due date of 29th July. I feel so ridiculously lucky

Four I'm having my scan at lri too! Hoping to give birth at home though

Thats great news lily!! Brilliant you are able to manage mac and cheese and hopefully this is the start of you feeling much better and back to work next week. What time's your scan tomorrow? Will be thinking of you.

yey coco !!! Amazing scan, so happy for you. Such a cute bub!

Hope mine goes as well as yours tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Santa me too! Snap! I've worked on the lri wards and delivery suite when I was a stmw and there's not much that would convince me to give birth there unless I have to! The midwives on delivery suite are nice enough but so manic and run off their feet, a very different kettle of fish to a homebirth. They do have a fab NICU though so if it came to it I'd rather be there than the general.

I actually had tears in my eyes four, seeing your scans. Hormones! Can't imagine what will happen when I see mine

Hi everyone, joining this thread after lurking on last one! I'm 11w3d, due on August 11th. Had an early MC at 7 weeks in August so have been trying

Hi Sophia and congratulations! A few of us have had recent mc, so know how stressful things can feel.

Four what a great scan. My little one really loves to hide so I can see me having to do all the moving about too

Congrats GlenCo! Lovely pics!

Scan on Monday at 12. Feels like forever! I'm 12+1 today and sickness behind me woohoo! Only symptoms now are tired in evenings and boobs big and tender. No food cravings or increased hunger just gone off tea so drinking squash. If anything I feel more energetic in the day! Probably because I have a one year old so my body maybe remembers how to cope? Oh I do have increased cm. feel a bit smelly I need some pads! Gross but true!

Not bothered with the Doppler again, just have to wait until the scan to confirm there's a baby in there! Can't wait.

Have a new girls name idea of Amelie. Not sure yet though. Boy will be Alex

First time mum here, all my friends are childless, don't really know anyone in my area (it's a town where people live all their lives, same as their parents, grandparents...)... fun times! So hoping to find some support on here.

I'm 11 weeks today and awaiting my first scan (slight date mix up as I thought I was only about 7 weeks).

Jw35 Amelie is a beautiful name, so pretty!

Welcome Sophia and viva and congrats to you both! We are all here to support with whatever you need! I am also a first time mum to be, I have one friend with a baby and apart from that, everyone else is either just married, getting married, or still dating...so all very new to me too.

jw Amelie is a very sweet name. Would Alex be Alexander or just Alex? Lovely either way.

Name choosing is going to be so hard !! I think you have to see the baby first before naming, anyone else??

Hi everyone, new thread time already! Lovely scan pictures Four

Nice to know I'm not on my own with that Bear.
I am currently bursting for the loo, but no idea if my bladder is actually full. Hopefully I'll get a nice clear picture anyway!! X
