Sorry not been on for ages, was away on holiday and been pretty busy at work.
Been trying to catch up on everyone's news!
I had my booking in on Friday and they're going by my lmp until scan which gives me a due date of Jan 6th. I think that'll change though.
Hoping to have my dating scan in the next week or so to fit it in before 14 weeks for the nuchal screening. I hope after that I might be able to relax a bit as am still worrying about miscarriage after my previous two.

@Maybebaby2 hadn't had a wee for ages (sorry for tmi).
Tried it out it fizzed like a volcano.
Getting some bicarbonate tomz so will let u no the out come of it. Xxx

@PolkaDotFlamingo we're not finding out either
It's our first and OH always said he'd prefer to wait
I'd find out in a heartbeat but have agreed to his request

For those who did or didn't find out in previous pregnancies do you bond more with the baby prior to birth when you know what it is?

Aw congratulations Stylish and dipper! Can't believe we are all getting to 12 week scan time now!
And yes the boob veins are hideous Rose - I've never seen anything quite like them!!! It's like a map!
Only the plus side three more sleeps and I'm home and get cuddles from DH (and cats!!) Normally I'm fine being away but I've really missed him this time (must be the hormones 😂)

Forum I don't think it made any difference to me. And it kept me going through a very long labour! I wasn't at all bothered though. I think if someone even felt a bit more favourable one way or the other then they should probably find out so they can get used to the idea. I'm not bothered again though.

Supper that's really good they got you a taxi! An great that there were so many pregnant women there! I was wondering at the gnr gig how many pregnant women were there, I didn't see any that were showing but I wished I was showing so people would know not to bump me on the tube!

Ruth I think the sciency bit is that baking powder already has an active acidic ingredient in it (cream of tartar) so it would react the same way for everyone. Bicarbonate of soda needs the active acidic ingredient adding to it to react. Which is why it reacts differently for everyone dependent on how acidic your urine is, very acidic means boy result and an obvious reaction and non acidic means girl result and no reaction..... not that I'm reading up on it too much! 😂

Lovely scan serendipper!!

yesterday i asked dh to throw me car keys and as he did a key caught me and slightly nicked my hand. A tiny bit of blood etc.

My tetanus ran out in Feb 2017.

Is this a cause for concern? My keys aren't noticeably rusty or anything - I know we get tetanus shots in third trimester but now i'm panicking. I don't know if we can have them in the 1st? Or if i'm just being silly!

I'm not sure on this Victoria I'd speak to your doctor if you are worried just to be sure, you could probably ask advice over the phone save making an appointment?

12week scan today! Was lovely to see baby wriggling away! Due date has been brought forward to the 6th Jan. Baby decided to wave for the camera!

Hi everyone

I haven't really posted since the very early days due to hyperemesis - I'm just coming out the other side and starting to improve thank goodness.

I'm almost 12 weeks now, has anyone started buying things yet? I've bought about 5 little sleepsuits and newborn outfits and a blanket and comforter - I just keep browsing baby sites wanting to spend spend!

We had the harmony test last Friday and the wait is agonising - has anyone else had it or nipt? We don't find out results until a week today but it's just going so slowly and my anxiety is building

Victoriaaa I personally wouldn't bother but maybe phone midwife if you are worried. I didn't get a tetanus during 3rd trimester.

Good news with all the scans going well! This is flying in. Another few weeks and hopefully we will all be feeling better.

I haven't bought anything and won't until 30 weeks probably. I'm stupidly superstitious about it and waited last time too. Baby arrived and I didn't even have a cot since he was early.

@flossyfloss I haven't bought anything. Haven't even looked!

We'll do an all-in-one big shop in John Lewis or a big Mothercare or something around the 30 week mark. I remember with DS we had this guy dedicated to us at John Lewis who went around with a list of things we definitely needed (clothes and car seat type stuff) and nice to have things and just went around scanning what we wanted, almost like a wedding gift registry! Then it was all delivered to our house a few days later.

Oooh mills that sounds such fun like supermarket sweep! I'm too impatient to wait I've got my list ready and will enjoy ticking it off

I don't need anything! And I'm too stingy to buy stuff for the sake of it so this baby will be living with hand me downs and anything he/she gets as a present.

Anyone else had this? I'm now 9+6, woke up this morning with bad aching near my ribcage which spread to my upper back, feel like I've been run over! Had to take the day off work as my body is aching so bad!

No pain or blood just aching body 😪 wondering if this meant anything or anyone else had this around this time?

@flossyfloss I had a safe test (similar to a harmony test) last weds and got a phone call today to say everything was low risk. 12 week scan on Friday and then I might start to relax and enjoy this pregnancy!

Hi all!

Have had my scan today - all fine! And there is just the one despite the size of my bump

They have moved my dates to 1st January, even though that doesn't fit with my dates

Anyway, will attempt to put a picture on...all feels very real now! Will be telling my 2 boys tomorrow when DH is home. Can't wait!

Aww great scan pics gruffalo and remember and congrats on getting the all clear Ndo, did u opt to find out sex?

Flossy I did my NIPT on Sunday so also waiting for result. Is your harmony test a U.K. Lab?

Ndo that's such great news

Rosa I'm not sure - how would I know or be able to find out? It was at a baby bond clinic. The wait is really killing me I'm such a worrier hope we get our results early x

From looking at their website it seems to be a London lab, I hope they come back early

?

@flossyfloss we had our nipt (Panorama) done last Thursday don't expect to have results til Thursday next week

Haven't bought anything yet but do have a mothercare wish list going
DH is researching my short list of prams and car seats 😂
It's our first so I've been reading up on what we will really need at first and then get other things as and when needed after the baby is born.

We've our 12 week scan July 10th and think I'll buy some sleep suits and vests that day just to make a little start. Then gradually pick up small bits every other week.
The big things we'll probably start getting in Oct/Nov as I'd like to have all before Christmas
That way we can enjoy the lead up to Christmas and relax the other side waiting for baby

@Gemaxo don't think it's the same but around my rib cage is sore from some of my bras being a bit tight

Does the pain feel muscular?

It does feel muscular I would say! It's eased a little now, I'm thinking I may of slept funny now, that mixed with the constant changes going on inside our bodies!

Gemaxo I've woken up with awful one sided back ache - I'm not sure what I did in the night or if it's just hormones but it's getting worse as the day goes on
