Hi All, I'm 15 weeks today and am harbouring an eclair...I now want chocolate.
Hi Yvonne! Fx you are like me, Bunch and Nev and don't get the dreaded morning sickness! Ask your Mum if she got it, as it tends to run in families.
So, from the top:
Planet I would recommend an early scan to give you a more accurate idea of dates (if that's something you can consider) Shop around as the price can differ a bit - mine was £65 and I had it at 8+5. Sorry, can't remember how far along you are, but it's worth waiting till at least 8 weeks as if they find a heartbeat then, your risks of mc do drop a bit. If not, then I reckon you'll have to wait till your 12 week scan to get an accurate picture. I gained 4 days at my 12 week scan!
Dr Sorry to hear about your Dad, and I think it's good to take a break from MN to focus on him and yourself. Hopefully we'll see you back again soon x
Thanks Lisa & Irreg on the NCT feedback, that's good that people have rated it then. Would like to meet some more mums in the area! Lisa my scans took about half an hour I would say.
Miley That's great you brought your grandad home, hope he's well 
Sorry you've been feeling crap!
Pink I was a front sleeper, and I knew how difficult it would be for me to start sleeping in other positions so I started training myself as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Funnily enough, sleeping on my left hand side is actually the most comfortable position for me now. Occasionally I'll wake on my back, but I know my body won't let me once I get really huge (it's just too uncomfortable apparently). I don't have a pillow, but I do have a memory foam mattress topper on top of a decent mattress and it's made all the difference!
Nev such rudeness (and ignorance!) in Asda. You'd be perfectly within your rights to make a complaint. What a twat. I'm learning that people are 1.Incredibly rude or 2.Thick as shit. I have been asked if it was planned recently by a work colleague. He's not the brightest tool in the box so I was polite with him, but people need to think more before they open their mouths! Such an insensitive question! Don't ever feel the need to justify yourself to such complete tools.
Runner Liking the banana analogy! I got told to get on with things by a doc at 30 (I'm now 32) and someone else said they weren't sure what my plans were (well that's because I'm a private person and I chose not to share it with you! See point 2. as mentioned above).
Choc That's awful news about your friend. Those occurances are rare and devastating. It's true that we're not completely out of the woods yet, but it's just remembering that each pregnancy is unique and different from the next. The odds are in our favour.
So, I had my first bump botherer a day or so ago. Work colleague, told quite a few people in one go, and before I could react she was there rubbing my bowels like I was a genie in a bottle. Didn't want to create a scene at the time, but I'm going to put her straight when I see her next (for the sake of working relations and her fingers remaining intact). She's one of these completely OTT, invade personal space, loud, know-it-all Hyacinth Bucket types. Another tactic I might try next time is to start feeling her boobs and then say 'Oh, I'm sorry I thought we were touching each other inappropriately!' I like that one.
