Thanks for adding me on. God I am tired today...9 hours sleep just doesn't seem enough..

Edie - you aren't the only one. I was standing in front of the mirror sucking my tummy in as hard as I could last night and it was STILL huge. Can't wait to get a proper bump and actually look pregnant rather than just chubby!

Oh good . No I think mine actually does look like a bump now thank god!!

I have taken to wearing quite pregnancy-style tops so people aren't confused too. Am thinking of having a t-shirt made that says 'I'm not fat I'm up the duff' Or something similar.

Sounds like a good idea Ellie

laughing

what about this t-shirt?! First time trying to post link...so here goes!

just what we need!

SNT That's great!!

Anyone else find pancakes good for MS? Yummy.....

Actually feeling generally a bit better this week anyway - have got over my cold at last.

Love the T shirt

FioFio, hope you manage to catch up on some sleep today.

Fio - LOL, if you find one let me know cos I could do with one of the same!

Great t-shirt! Mustn't say fat AND pregnant silly, this is the first time in my life am going to have an excuse for looking lardy, so am going to make the most of it.

Hello All! Can i join you? i'm a bit tardy as 12+3 today but have been lurking and not wanting to tempt fate until now (had first cvs results back yesterday, nailbiting, but clear).
I am in London and will be at Queen Charlottes although i live in north london. Have added myself to list, hope that's ok.

ohhh I'm at Queen Charlottes too. Don't live that near though and am planning a homebirth so that will be interesting

oph and hello and welcome btw

Hi everyone,

Is anybody craving things they shouldn't be eating. I normally love sushi but its even worse at the moment. I just want a huge plate of yellowtail but everyone tells me I can't eat raw fish...if I had just a little bit would it really hurt?? Its the only semi-healthy food craving I have. (I think MN should have a sulky, hormonal emoticon, it would get used alot by me at the moment)

xx

oh and I would love a nice rare steak but dh keeps cooking mine till its burnt to a crisp, whilst his is nice and juicy

I keep eating cadburys caramel eggs

I think the danger with raw fish is food poisoning rather than any direct harm to your baby but I couldn't be sure so don't go eat some based on that!!

ooh me too,luurve cadbury creme eggs, just the other night I sent dh out for chocolate and he returned with some. I only like eating them slightly warm though

oops just read that you said caramel not creme...

sushi - ring the restaurant and ask if they prepare from frozen or fresh (most in this country prepare from frozen, in fact most in japan prepare from frozen). If so it is okay - the freezing kills the bad things. If fresh then it's a no-no. And how do Japanese sruvive as a race?
Constipation - yes. Never know anything like it. Fat - yes. Defnitely have a bump because sucking in does nothing, but unfortuantely that also means my arms, thighs, double chin and arse are hiding babies too. Am basically size of small bungalow - dread to think what i'd be like if i wasn't throwing up all the time.
I notice the october lot have a separate thread for stats - i would hate to think they were more organized than us...
Good think about having the world's stinkiest cold - you can't tell how bad your MS is.
love to one and all.

Hi Ladies ,

Congrats to all due in September...it will soon be upon us.
Hope you don`t mind me joining you all,Due 20th sept (MY calculations!)but waiting for my dating scan in 2 wks so it will probably change.
Got a DS aged 2 who was prem so really hoping to go f/term this time.Midwife has already whacked me with a downer on my booking in appointment,telling me that due to the fact that I will be 37 when this one arrives I may as well forefit the bloods and go straight for the amnio......GREAT!
Not looking forward to that,plus already worrying about the m/c factor with it.

Why do they love to scare the hell out of you?

Hi ,
Added myself to the list ,hope thats OK.

10 WKS tomorrow and counting.

Hi
Just wondering how many people having a nuchal scan. I'll have to pay but quite tempted. What does everyone else think? [need a confused face]

Hi CPink, I wasn't really asked, I was told "your nuchal scan is on march the 8th" I guess that's cos I'm 36. I'm terrified, it's two weeks tomorrow, but I haven't really thought beyond that. I actually will be relieved just to see a heartbeat!

Hello

I would definitely recommend having one - the reassurance is great (assuming everything goes well) and they have a really good look at the baby. I had a nuchal with my first and nuchal and cvs with this one - but it is offered as standard on the NHS here in London. I guess it also depends on your age - I was 33 first time 35 second - if you are a fair bit younger you probably have less reason to be worried. I think it also depends on what type of person you are - the vast majority of babies come out absolutely normal irrespective of how many scans and tests you have, but some people are worriers / just have to know (us) - if you are more chilled out maybe no need?

Is it really not available routinely on the NHS where you are? - I think that is very unfair - it is the old postcode lottery. I know it is £200 or so at the Fetal Medicine Centre in Harley Street if you decide you want one and have to go private.
