Well I caved, and using money I was supposed to be using for something else - went for a private reassurance scan this afternoon All well, just one baby, real wriggler/dancer, strong heartbeat. Dated at 9w4d so due 10th Dec but will await my NHS dating scan to formally update on the list.

Can't believe it and feel too numb to cry (with happiness/stress - was shaking in the waiting room) or feel ecstatic.

NotAClue82 · 11/05/2016 16:47

Wow that's great lily! He/she looks so cute in there!!
Bigfam that's hilarious!Grin

Bigfam · 11/05/2016 17:07

I know notaclue, next time (if it's another girl) I fully anticipate her to literally throttle me.
Lily that is absolutely adorable Grin

Helgathehairy · 11/05/2016 17:10

That's so cute lily reassurance is priceless.

barkingtreefrog · 11/05/2016 17:16

Great news Lily and sunshine, I had a scan this morning as well, first time I've had an abdominal scan not a dildocam, so I'd emptied my bladder and had to refill it!
Picture is definitely more fuzzy than you get from the inside, but you can make out head and limbs which is pretty damn amazing.
Just wish it would feel real!

bigfam that's hilarious about your MiL! My mate came to my scan today as my dh couldn't get out of work.

ermmm · 11/05/2016 17:34

Like you lily I was too anxious to wait and booked myself in for a scan. Luckily got seen today👍🏼.
Feel better having seen and heard a strong heartbeat- will post pic later left in dh car.)
They have dated the pregnancy at 8weeks whereas I thought I was 9+2.
Feels like a long way to go. Good luck to you all.

Oh dh was a bit 🤔 When the EDD was revised to 20 Dec as he thinks hospital may be understaffed around xmas? Did try to ease his concern as am sure the Nhs are not that nice to staff and let them take annual leave over xmas...

Bigfam · 11/05/2016 17:42

Beautiful picture barking. It's lovely to hear of all these amazing scans too!

Yes-carbs!
Lasagne and chips tonight (I'm normally very healthy)
I was on a huge healthy eating trip when I fell pregnant but because of the delightful wake up and throw up at 4am experiences Im nearly always feeling too fragile to eat so Im just popping to the shop each night and trying to tempt myself with something, this is not always healthy.
I hear it's better in the second tm.

Bigfam · 11/05/2016 18:25

I'm sensing some frustration readingrainbow, towards carbs if I'm right?! Grin
My tea consisted of: toasted bagel with sliced banana inside, now, what's for supper?

SouthDownsSunshine · 11/05/2016 18:26

Good to see other scans! We've got a wriggly bunch of babies :)

ermmm my midwife friend said that Xmas is well staffed for the labour ward.

Admarks · 11/05/2016 18:31

Lovely to see all the scan pics and hear the stories! The 12 week scan seems so far away for me, wondering how I'm going to get there as the sickness seems to ramp up a notch each day!

Im just trying to take each day as it comes and get through with no vomiting in public (daily train commute has had some close calls!)....

Went to EPU on Monday due to some bleeding (everything was fine- so relieved) but they dated me earlier than I thought so I'm now only 6+0 with an EDD of 4th Jan - I feel like I've gone backwards!!! I will wait till the 12 week scan for updating my stats here, but would like to stay lurking on this thread (if ok!) as you all seem to be a lovely bunch of ladies!

readingrainbow · 11/05/2016 18:33

Just a bit, Bigfam! :)

I was eating very healthily before pregnancy but am slipping into a toast, crisps and chips habit very firmly. It's annoying, becuase the craving hits me suddenly and HARD. Once I need toast, nothing else will do. I just feel so bloated and lethargic, and I know that is pregnancy related itself, it is also very much to do with my eating choices. Of course, it's all the baby's fault.

mistletoe1 · 11/05/2016 18:37

Evening all, i've had a letter re my first scan (9th June - a billion days away!) but no letter regarding a booking in appt - seems odd? Did anyone have to chase?

I also want all carbs, all the time. Hula hoops, doritos, cake, toast, cake... and I haven't actually put any weight on yet?! It'll catch up with me i'm sure. Completely gone off fish. Missing wine. Bigfam, banana on bagel sounds like my perfect meal right now.

As for weird crying, I read something hilariously funny last week and went from full on belly laughs to sobs in a few seconds. Even as it was happening all I could think was 'WTF!!!'. Thank god I was alone!

Lovely to see scan pics!!

barkingtreefrog · 11/05/2016 18:48

mistletoe I just called the gp and booked an appointment with the midwife, which they gave me the time for over the phone, I didn't get a letter. It will be the midwife that books my 12 week scan though.

I keep not eating what DH cooks and then feeling really guilty, but when he puts it in front of me I just realise I'm not hungry and I don't want it! I made a rather nice batch of chocolate brownies at the weekend though, and I don't seem to be too full for them at any time. Blush
I tried using my fitness pal to log my food so I could see if I was managing to get a good balance, but after finding out that a bag of grapes contained more sugar than one of my chocolate brownies I felt like giving up!

MrsJoJo · 11/05/2016 18:57

Lovely scan pics ladies... 11 days left until mine and we're off to Barcelona for a few days next Thursday (before my scan) so lots to look forward to!!

Utterly exhausted here, been on my feet filming all day (an unusual work challenge!), out and about with work tomorrow plus visiting the bank to sign final mortgage paperwork for our impending move then on Friday I am working an event. I've been desk bound for weeks so today's activity was a challenge - I'll probably collapse in an exhausted heap Friday evening.

I'm normally a cook from scratch person but it's pizza tonight - at least I can get an early night!

Helgathehairy · 11/05/2016 19:22

I had to have DH cook dinner tonight. I could eat constantly but can't face cooking.

I'm having some pain. It's to the left of my belly button so I'm wondering is it just muscle pain from something. Symptoms are still strong. No bleeding at all and no cramps, it's just kind of constant.

Theaks · 11/05/2016 19:32

Joining the carbs club! Pasta and garlic bread for tea! Amazing! But feeling slightly bloated now!

DartmoorDoughnut · 11/05/2016 19:32

Hi all Grin

I had a big bag of peanut MnMs for lunch, ah well! Trying to keep on top of eating healthily but sometimes a girl just can't help slipping up. Probably had something to do with DS and waking up at 4:30 Hmm

Helgathehairy · 11/05/2016 19:44

I realised a few days ago that I had an open bag of peanut butter m&ms in the kitchen that had been there for 2 weeks! I hadn't finished them.
But if you put potatoes in front of me - I'm not sure I would wait until they were cooked.

FluffyPickleMonster · 11/05/2016 19:47

I'm with you all on the carbs!!!! I don't normally eating bread but I could quite happily finish off a whole loaf at the moment! Currently making super noodles which I plan on having in a toast sandwich then will have monster munch for my pudding! Normally cook from scratch and have lots of veg but i only think about stodgy yellow food.

Yay for the all happy scans Grin

Anewleaf · 11/05/2016 19:56

wow great scans ladies!
I'm just trying to make it through the day I've had a jacket potato and am eating a corn on the cob for dinner. It's all very bland but can't stomach smells at the moment.
I'm soo worried about work at the moment having this time off aswell ... proper in the dumps at the mo

Eskerina81 · 11/05/2016 19:59

Love all the scans!

I got my scan appointment today - it's in two, loooong weeks. I'm celebrating with a packet of biscuits. I get a nasty taste in mouth after I eat anything so I'm seeing whether I can keep that at bay by a constant biscuit stream...

weechops · 11/05/2016 20:05

Scans look brilliant!!! I've bloomin ages to wait for mine, but I'm ecstatic dh will def be home for it.

I'm currently lying on my bed after putting the toddler in his bed, trying to get up enough energy to put the 5 year old to bed now. Sooooo tired!
