December 2016 babies... 2nd trimester in sight

[becciandbump]

Not sure how to post the link but having a go guys

Just had my scan. I'm due 12th Dec. Baby did not want to cooperate so sonographer had a tilt bed backwards as far as it went and I had to turn on my side. I was clinging on for dear life but thankfully it worked and baby flipped over!

I had my 12 week scan today and all was well. I shed a little tear! Due date is still the same. So relieved!

angshore I'm also 11+3!

Sorry to hear about your son. We have a family friend who many years ago had a still born baby and then went on to give birth to a healthy son. She called him 'the boy with two souls' and said he had twice as much courage, twice as much strength, and was twice as blessed. :)

Elodie how old are your girls? Dds best friend has cf too, tough little cookies!

All I want is to sleep and eat... I think I maybe going into hibernation

Lovely picture billabye, glad to hear you had a good scan!

DT2 will love it for a couple of days Bigfam, as she'll wrap DP 'round her little finger and have a whale of a time, but it soon gets boring and they're very close so will miss each other quickly. DT1 has had a harder time with CF this year for some reason, so she's feeling a bit sorry for herself and they don't fully understand why they can't see each other when one of them is sick. They're 4 Looseyloo and yes, tough cookies.

Azure I didn't realise this isn't looked at everywhere. I am very grateful to be getting such excellent care here. I think they do look at it at the 20w scan though so hopefully they'll let you know more then.

Elodie I hope your little one makes a speedy recovery and you all get home soon.

Thank you Solomon I've been googling it further and you're right it's a soft marker. It's just when you initially consult Dr Google they say only 0.5-1.7% of babies have this if they do not have DS. Sometimes Dr Google makes everything sound horrific so am not so worried now.

Hello all.

Not posted for a few days as work has been bonkers. Did 15 hours yesterday for example. Really not helping with the tiredness. Then today I met a friend to take her and her daughter to soft play, but she wanted to stay out pretty much all day (she was avoiding some builders and an out-of-action toilet at home) but honestly I was expecting to just be there for a couple of hours, and I'm physically now wrecked from chasing DD around all day.

Watermelon if you are still reading sorry for your loss.

SouthDowns sorry to hear your test results have given you anxiety. Pregnancy is stressful enough without the extra worry.

Hope your little girl gets better soon Elodie.

Welcome to all the newbies! My December list keeps getting longer and longer!

Congrats to all the healthy scans I've seen.

South Downs. Sorry you are having some added anxiety with your results. But in percentage terms you have a 0.8% chance of having a baby with downs, and a 99.2% chance of having a baby with out downs. I always think it looks less scary as a percentage than ratio. Arc have lots of great info.

Barking tree frog: my insomnia is killing me. I get off to sleep ok, but wake up at about 2am and usually don't get back off until about 5 or 6... I have to get up at 7am! So getting about 4-5 hours max a night! It's frustrating as well as knackering. Good prep for a baby I guess!

Congratulations to those with lovely scans. It's so reassuring isn't it. I had my scan yesterday. Edd changed by 1 day so now due on 7/12/16. 13+2 today. Baby was wriggling and kicking and swallowing on the scan, so cute to see! And amazing for a little person who is only 10cm long! Baby was being stubborn and wouldn't turn off its tummy... Even though they got me on my hands and knees and the bed and wiggling my bum around! Very dignified! Haha.

Sorry to those still really sick. Mine has mostly got better, still occasional nausea and I vommed completely out of the blue last night (into my hands and the kitchen floor! Tmi but I didn't get any warning!!). Definitely go to the GP if you are suffering, there are lots of safe things you can try. Xx

Sunnydays321 lovely scan pic :)

I managed to get some anti-nausea tablets today, I'm looking forward to taking it and seeing if it works although, today from 9-3 I haven't been as bad and haven't needed a nap, I'm 11 weeks so hope that it's tailing off a bit.

I've just got cross with DH though, I was in bed at 4pm and as usual the nausea was ramping up and up by the minute, he asked me whether I would like any dinner and I said yes or I'll just feel really sick.

He went downstairs, cooked his daughter her dinner and just left me in bed (basically too weak and unable to move) for 2 hours until I stumbled downstairs and started cooking some pasta (whilst gagging because the kitchen stinks)

I asked him not to offer me dinner again unless he intended to make me some, he said oops I forgot because I've been cooking for my daughter, washing up and getting her ready for bed

I really don't enjoy being this un-independent, I normally cook every meal, every night and do the bulk of the house work I feel so irrationally upset by this.

I'm probably just being hormonal, I just feel vulnerable and at the mercy of his offerings of support (which aren't consistent)

Sorry, more positive Bumble tomorrow hopefully when less ill.

bumble same here! I don't work so I try to cook for DP and I in the evenings but at the moment the whole basement stinks to me - as soon as I go down there I gag.

DP was very tired today so I offered to throw some chips and fish fingers in the oven. It was a serious task - I was gagging the whole time and when I went to the living room to tell him supper was ready he said he was half-asleep on the sofa and will feed himself later. I was furious! 😡

I know it's only chips and fish finger sandwiches but it took me a lot not to vomit all over myself and I was trying really hard to do something nice for DP.

Have run upstairs to the bedroom to sulk and read magazines.

that is amazing that you can cook fish thats real love.

I'm sulking too watching absolutely fabulous on the lap top to cheer myself up :)

I suppose they can't always be expected to understand. but they should try harder

Glad to know I'm not the only one with an annoying other half. Don't think men understand how truly tired you get being pregnant!! Think DP thinks I'm being lazy had to explain all the tasks I had done including 2 dogs walks, cleaning, tidying, entertaining family, cleaning out my car and going to work all while having a headache, feeling sick and tired!! A women's work never ends!!!

I was clocked twice today. I met a friend at the theatre and she looked at my belly and said pointedly, 'how is everything then?' (She knew I'd had ivf but I hadn't told her the result).
And then another friend who I work with who was in the office yesterday (she usually works remotely) sent me a text saying 'I could see the bump!'

Guess we won't be keeping it a secret as long as we thought...
I really thought I wouldn't be showing for weeks yet. I'm only 13 weeks today. Still think it should just be bloating and it will go away but that straw I'm clutching at is getting harder to grasp!!
How are everyone else's bumps?!

My bump feels huge, a colleague told me today that she could actually see it!! Can still be hidden quite easily but have to choose carefully what I wear xx
Lovely scan pics everyone xx

Bloody pregnancy Insomnia! Have to be up in just over an hour for a flight and can't sleep :(

I'm with you Southdowns it's horrible isn't it.
I hope you can bring a pillow on the flight and get some sleep then..

I don't think dd would give me a chance to sleep on the plane :(

Going to get up now I think. No point lying in bed feeling sorry for myself! I hope you get back to sleep soon bumble

Thanks, Oh I don't know how you're doing this pregnancy lark with a DD as well I'm barely coping and I have no such responsibilities.
Getting up is a good thing sometimes.
I always feel a bit unsettled being awake at this hour when it's all dark outside. Will probably fall asleep at 6am when it's light.
So glad I cancelled our visitors this weekend.
Have a safe trip.

Safe trip sunshine
bumble We have MiL, BiL and his two kids coming over for the weekend. I could have done with more sleep first!!!

Barking, I'm 12+1 and my bump is there all the time now. It's quite obvious in tight tops like my pyjamas. It goes up quite high too. I think this is because my muscles are knackered from last time! I'm going to 'fess up at work next week because I'm worried they'll be starting to think I'm just getting fat because I'm eating so much!

Is there a magic cure for the insomnia? I have had 6hours in the last two days. Yesterday was not too bad as DH was home not being very dear but trying. But he is now working all weekend left at 5 and won't be back till half 9 Sunday night. I have a very active toddler to keep occupied when all I would like to do is sleep but can't. Saying that the toddler has also been awake since half 4 so not sure my day is going to get better.

Loving all the pictures have mine on Tuesday.

Oh no that sounds full on... Could your son watch TV all snuggled up on the sofa with you while you maybe snooze?

Thanks bumble I do think maybe a TV day is in order, what makes it worse is we currently live in a flat with no garden so can't even go out to play for a bit.

Maybe some crafts, or build a den and toddler can play in there while I try and sleep.

Thank you.
