Thread 11. TTC #1 Grads, Babies Arriving Or 'Look At What I Made With My Genitals!'

[AudreyBradshaw]

Behold, the wonder of birth! Members from 6 weeks bfp to post-partum wonder Mamas! No question to grotty or minging.

We've come full circle from obsessing about cervical mucus to now obsessing if it's our vagina baby plug going! What larks!

Lots of talk about poo, ours and now babies too! Baby brain is REAL! This heat can kiss my arse. And who KNEW being so neurotic about which changing mat to buy could be so satisfying and addictive!

Roll up literally, in my case, cause I'm practically rotund! for TTC #1 Grads!

I've caved and booked a private scan for next week. Just waiting for DH to confirm he can get out of work.

We ummed and ahhed about it, but I've been quite sickly and haven't made it to the office everyday, so feel I owe them an explanation as I've been messing them around and working from home, but don't want to say anything before I've had a scan, and my NHS one is over another month away.

I know it's still early, but a successful early scan (I'll be almost 9 weeks) does significantly reduce the pre-12-week MC chance. Even the 12-week scan isn't bulletproof and I'd rather have the support from them than pretend everything is ok - they've probably already guessed but are going to be so happy if I tell them - they know we were having issues.
