Marking my place

Sitting my bum down

Thanks @fuzzyowl

Thank youuu

Hello!

I told my brother the news yesterday after the scan, and he told me not to buy anything until he'd seen us. It seems they've still gots lots of things, including a car seat, from when they had my nephew. (They've just sold their buggy, though, unfortunately, but I fully intend finding out what he discovered from his research as to which are the best. ) And my partner's work colleagues said they were going to have a root around to see what they had! Seems like we might not need to buy much at all, which would be nice, since baby stuff is so expensive! (I anticipate we will have to buy a cot, at least.)

waves we announced to friends yesterday after scan. Family already knew :)

Scan went well, bright and early at 8am this morning (I hardly slept at all last night). Once we were at the hospital I was less worried and more just needing to pee though!

So very very relieved. Also jumped forward 5 days, as measured 12+5 so due date is now 17 March!

Good luck for everyone else waiting on scans.

Yay thanks fuzzy 😊

Link to spreadsheet as good to have it on the first page of the thread (I always have a nightmare trying to find it!)

Have been lurking for a little while now so hope you don't mind me finally peeking in! Had my scan last week and all looking good so far (although the little pest refused to get in a position for a good pic!) with a due date of 9th March.

Lovely seeing all your scan pics and hearing how you're all getting on. I'm hoping my constant need for carbs and apple juice subsides soon!

I still havent told anyone. Im enjoying the bubble haha. Plus all my family live in England so will be telling them next weekend but think we'll end up telling the in laws this weekend

Fab scan pics everyone. X

Loving the scan pics!! I'm due 8th March 😊 have told some people but most don't know, dps family don't even know!! But my mum knows, and my closest friends bar one (she lives far away and i need to time it appropriately as shes ttc, but everytime i call her shes at a festival or something lol..) feeling pretty normal now, nauseas gone, I'm still losing weight which is great for me (baby is fine 😊) and my youngest starts school tomorrow so I'll have a lot of free time til baby gets here. Weirdly I'm craving a job right now 😂 not really the best time to start job searching though lol.

Thanks for the new thread, FuzzyOwl.

eatingcrispsdrinkingtea, we are due date buddies!

Does the google thing automatically update? I just added some info.

GiveMeTheTeaAndNobodyGetsHurt how lovely. There will be plenty of tea being drunk that day then!

Just got a letter to say the urine test from my booking appointment came back inconclusive so gotta trek back in tomorrow to do a repeat sample. Fingers crossed it's okay!

Ooo new thread.

Is anyone else suffering with heart palpitations.I'm getting them about 4 times a day. I'm 14 weeks today and have seen my dr. I had an ecg this week which came back ok. I wasn't having an 'episode' when that was run though and have to Go back to gp Tomo. This on top of the extreme sickness which has started to subside is really getting to me! I'm stuck in the house (luckily wfh rather than on sick pay) and every trip out the house is exhausting. I did travel for work yesterday and was up at 5.30am so that's really had an effect on today I think. I'm still struggling to eat and have such a bad taste in my mouth when I do. I want to be excited but I just feel so rubbish all the time.

Agh sorry rant over.

Hello great to hear good news! Had our 12 week scan today and all was okay - so relieved. Although we aren't quite 12, more 11 and a half but big enough to do all the screening. The little wriggler wasn't playing ball though and kept sticking its bum up at the scanner so i had to do star jumps and two laps of the antenatal dept. Now fingers crossed for clear bloods and I might start believing this is going to happen.

Feels a bit weird having a 12 week scan not being 12 weeks but I suppose i can relax a bit now...:)

Excellent news today so glad to see the lovely scan photos!

Ours was today and baby was doing wonderfully! So relieved and in love! Edd changed to the 9th March.

Congrats @onceuponamama
I'm way at the back of the queue, my due date has been adjusted to 26th March now...

Congratulations on the scans. Xx

Same as mine @whyhastherumgone

I just did a big online shop for maternity clothes. Some comfy jeans with bands and a few tops. Figure gunna need them eventually! Also definately getting a maternity pillow soon! My back is killing in bed because I'm usually a front sleeper and just can't get used to sleeping on my side!

Also lovely scan pics!

Thanks for the new thread.

Scan pics are all looking great! I'm getting a bit antsy about mine as I can't get hold of anyone to confirm when the date is, and no letter yet. Trying to call antenatal clinics who never pick up without anyone at work catching on has been quite tough. Hoping that I can sort it tomorrow as I'm working from home and can talk about whatever I want on the phone without worrying. I hate early pregnancy. It's so stressful not knowing if everything is ok and not being able to say anything to anyone!
