reindeer congratulations !!!! X3!!! How ️Exciting , when will you tell ️️oh!

reindeerbitesback · 11/12/2016 20:52

pugsymalone - I don't know! I want to do something creative but I have absolutely no imagination Confused

Pugsymalone · 11/12/2016 20:54

Oh god I wouldn't even know when to start , maybe buy 3 christmas stockings and wrap them up and give them to him??

Poppydm · 11/12/2016 21:00

Wowza! Huge congrats Reindeer! How have you been feeling? Just less than two weeks now until my private scan. Can't wait to see baby again. Bump is starting to pop out now. Had a right tantrum over the weekend because its my Christmas party next weekend and I can't find anything to wear. I don't fit into my other dresses but am not big enough for maternity dresses and everything in the shops seems to be bodycon which is most definitely not a good look on me at the minute - or ever! Started to buy little bits and pieces for the baby this weekend. Feeling so excited! Hope everyone is well and has had a lovely weekend Smile

Masweetpea1 · 11/12/2016 21:06

Wow x 3 reindeer . Amazing news congratulations!

reindeerbitesback · 11/12/2016 21:19

pugsy - that's a good idea...much better than I could think of anyway!!

poppy - thank you! I'm feeling surprisingly well, I've managed to eat properly again this last week which has been marvellous! I also had a bit of a clothes related meltdown this week... I bought a lovely skirt to wear on Christmas Eve, it doesn't fit me anymore and I'm gutted! At least I understand why now Grin

masweetpea - thank you! I'm a little bit terrified but mostly elated!

Monkeyandthebear · 11/12/2016 21:39

Wow Reindeer, I have my scan on Thursday and go between worrying that there is nothing in there to there being 2. Not sure how I could even imagine 3.

I have been feeling much better with nausea these days, but tiredness is killing me. Had a 2 day training course this week and a 2-3 hour drive to go with it. Felt great the first day but since the second day I have felt exhausted again! Really hoping this passes. Think it will help to be able to admit to it at work after Thursday all being well.

VeganMama83 · 11/12/2016 21:41

Wow reindeer massive congrats! Of course you're welcome if you deliver early!

monkeyandthebear - I was exactly the same, hence why I went for the early scan. I've had a couple of miscarriages in the past and am such a worrier. I hope the exhaustion eases for you, too.

DizzyNorthernBird · 12/12/2016 01:12

Wow reindeer that's amazing! I had no idea that triplets could occur naturally! Can we see your scan? I'm fascinated by the multiple scan photos! Welcome!

reindeerbitesback · 12/12/2016 01:23

Dizzynorthern - will share the scan once I've told OH (feels too wrong to show the internet before him lol!). It's quite unusual I believe. I have a genetic condition that causes me to hyperovulate and release multiple eggs with each cycle so multiples are much more likely for me, but three is still a shock. My DSIS is 22 weeks with twins at the moment, too! Thank you for the kind welcome, you too veganmama.

Sixisthemagicnumber · 12/12/2016 06:08

I have my scan today. I've been awake nearly all night feeling anxious. Can't wait for 11.30 to arrive. I really need some maternity jeans but I've been holding out until after the scan.

MrsPotatoHead80 · 12/12/2016 07:33

Holy shit Reindeer! Congratulations! Also looking forward to seeing the scan photo once you've told hubby x Smile

catlady15 · 12/12/2016 07:33

Best of luck for your scan today six!

That is so exciting reindeer, can't wait to see the scan once you have revealed the big news to oh Smile

haveacupoftea · 12/12/2016 07:40

Fingers crossed for you Six let us know how you get on Smile

catlady15 · 12/12/2016 07:41

Have most people told everyone after their scan? I was going to start telling people, but then saw some are waiting until after screening results to share the big news? My mum thought I'd be putting the pic on Facebook as soon as we get the scan tomorrow, but I think I'll just share privately with people or wait until I see them.

It will be exciting to hopefully find out there really is something going on in there as it all feels a bit surreal right now.

I was looking at maternity bundles on Ebay last night. Some good deals on there but hard to find something I'd wear all the things from!

12 weeks today!

IkeaTatPrincess · 12/12/2016 07:52

Hi catlady

My scan is tomorrow morning (argh!) and we are going to tell my parents the next day.

Because of my age, the risk of trisomy disorders is low. We are testing for Edwards/Patau but not Downs.

In any case, I will be telling them something on Wednesday because we are spending lots of time with them over Xmas and if it's worst case scenario (MMC) or not ideal (more testing choices and waiting) I would want them to know anyway.

We will probably start telling everyone else the following week on the Xmas party circuit. I would have liked a couple of weeks of breathing space between but telling people face to face will be lovely and we're going to see lots of friends.

I saw DM last week and she said I looked skinny and asked if I'd lost weight!

catlady15 · 12/12/2016 08:16

Thanks, ikea, will be keeping my fingers crossed for you too tomorrow. Mine is in the afternoon so will have a difficult morning waiting!

I've already told my parents and brother, but think I'll wait until the following week to tell anyone I haven't told already. I had to tell my line manager at work, but will wait to tell anyone else until the new year as I've booked next week off anyway.

adlertippa · 12/12/2016 09:48

Good luck with the scan six! I've been holding out buying anything too, think I'll treat myself to one of those wild spaghetti pillows after the scan...

DizzyNorthernBird · 12/12/2016 11:18

reindeer I hope your DH takes the news well Smile

Good luck for today six!

So there's a few left still waiting for scans this week, that's most of the group almost done by the end of the week isn't it?

VeganMama83 · 12/12/2016 11:31

Yeah should be most done this week or next maybe?

OP posts:
Monkeyandthebear · 12/12/2016 11:35

Reindeer could you get your DH things that come in threes like the three little pigs story? There are probably better examples than that but could get him guessing

Dizzy I think there are a few of us on Thursday for scans but my due date is currently 28th June so can't be many more behind us.

Good luck with scans today. Look forward to seeing some pics

phoebe2016 · 12/12/2016 12:08

Omfg Reindeer! Lol, congratulations, but what a shocker!! I hope everything goes well for you. I think you will need a lot of support with that many bubbas. X

reindeerbitesback · 12/12/2016 14:01

Monkey - that's a fabulous idea! Off to google things that come in threes....

Pheobe - thanks for the congrats, I'm still coming around to the shock of it.

Good luck with scans today and this week, everyone. Fingers crossed for you all Smile

Sixisthemagicnumber · 12/12/2016 14:06

Thanks for the good wishes from everyone.
I have had the scan and everything went well. Dated at 13+2 so moved forward a couple of days.
We were in the scan room for almost an hour because baby wouldn't keep still and the sonographer really struggled to get the right position for the NT measurements. But all done now and I can go and buy some much needed mat jeans.
