I hope this works! Here is a new thread as the old one was getting v long.
I hope everyone is doing ok. If I'm anything to go by you will be wandering around queasy and exhausted - isn't this fun?!

Yes I have a bump too albeit a bit of a wobbly one...

Macdoodle - sounds like you might work things out with your DH but as you say the most important thing is that you are having the baby you have been hoping for and he is secondary. It must be so hard to trust him after what he's done but hope you manage to work things out.

great news about your scan date beanster - that's only a few days away

Mine's only a couple of hours away, yippeee

cazzybabs · 18/05/2007 13:25

I still have to wait 5 days before I can even phone up about booking my scan . Serves my right for being to scared about mcs to do anything about it before. Mind you it says it must done before 13 weeks - so I shall have to get a move on as I am 12 weeks on Monday. (I guess I would lie about dates!)

Nbg · 18/05/2007 13:47

Oh god am having a panic attack.

I hate this. Why cant scans be done at home lol.

Beanstermummy · 18/05/2007 13:58

cazzybabs - why do you have to wait 5 days? phone them now and tell tham you're 12 weeks and so need one next week. I think that sort of pushed it for me too as they we're going to be able to fit me in on a 'normal' day until I was 15 weeks - at which point I think my reply was "but I'm 12 weeks already and need one before then, don't I ???" Lo and behold a space emerges on Tuesday - and yes, Skiddadle only a few days - good luck with yours - all V exciting

I have of course now got myself into a state that if anything is wrong at the scan DH will get very stressed as my Mum and little Sis will be at home and we won't e able to just be on our own...............deep breaths, BM, calm down!!!! And OMG, what if it's twins........hyperventilating now

and I've got my DD party to sort out for Sunday, let alone clean the house as it's a pit - AAAAhhhhhhhhhh. May go home shortly - or maybe via the shop

skidaddle · 18/05/2007 14:21

Beanster I've started panicking slightly now about twins/missed mc as well....

we will both be fine I'm sure of it

cazzybabs · 18/05/2007 14:21

The reason to wait 5 days is so they have enough time to enter you into the system after your mw faxes your details across. sounds a bit of an antiquated system to me but I suppose that is public services for you. I can actually wait 5 days because dh is away next week so I don't want one then anyway.

mimicakey · 18/05/2007 14:58

Do you reckon I'll be ok going to Morocco in August? It's not a malarial area and we're looking at some pretty lush hotels (last pamper holiday before lo gets in the way!) Does anyone know where to find advice for travelling when pg? MN doesn't seem to have too much.

thelady · 18/05/2007 15:54

mimicakey: many airlines won't take you once you're past 30 weeks unless you have a dr's certificate. Your travel insurance will need to specifically include maternal and postnatal cover too.

Other than that, I'd try your GP or midwife for advice. We're planning a driving holiday a month before tadpole is due (all booked a week before the BFP!) and will just have to wait and see how things are going then.

And yes, I'm in the Borders, so an hour from Edinburgh and 2 hours from Glasgow.

Nbg · 18/05/2007 16:12

Just to let you know, my date has now changed to the 28th Nov lol.
So JARM you were right!

Everythings fine. Placenta at the front so wont feel movements anytime soon but thats no biggie.

Hope yours went well Skidaddle.

JARM · 18/05/2007 17:52

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

The race is on then!!!!

peanutbutter · 18/05/2007 19:10

crikey - i've missed loads! i've been feeling so sick and rotten in the evenings i've completely stayed away from the computer. still feeling rotten but perhaps not quite so sick as i was. dh got me some of those accupressure bands that you wear on your wrists and i have to say they are definitely helping a little. has anyone else tried them?

another one here too tired for bedroom antics at the moment, although feeling horribly guilty to dh who is being very kind and understanding. my dreams are entirely another thing though - randy adventures almost every night and i think i remember it was the same when carrying ds.

We've booked at Blue Dolphin Haven near Scarborough from Monday to Friday - hoping fervently that it's dry and not pissing down every day. don't mind cold, don't mind windy but please don't let it be raining!

hello to everyone and glad to hear all the little ones seem to be thriving and growing

mad4girls · 18/05/2007 19:36

hi guys

macdoodle-sorry things arent great for you right now, but it will work out eventually what ever way its meant to be i was single mum for few years with dd1 amd was the happiest ive ever been had dd all to myself was great.

nbg-glad your scan went well, feels a bit more real now doesnt it ?

feeling loads better tofday amazing what a good nights sleep does hey, and dd2 let ,me have a lie in didnt get up till 7.30 this morning

anyway last night that bloody mouse was caught(thank you god) in trap (appologies to any cruelty to animals ppl) but dp was going to catch for the 1st day, as time went on he began to hate it, he wasnt too impressed when he opened his sock drawer yesterday to find it looking it him, he tried to catch and it scratched him!!

anyway ive been spending night on bottom bunbk with dd2, and he been on sofa as we refused to sleep in there, anyway its from next door (again, we had one at xmas) she got a matress and load of other rubbish in front yard. so he rangenvironmental health yesterday.

as to update with all goings on i didnt tell everyone how it went telling dp's mum she was rather shocked had 10 minute silence then she was fine said she thought we were mad but its our life in a nice way, anyway my mum coming round in a bit think ill blurt it out then (as not looking forward to her reaction)so will let you know what happens

as for being fat ive given up and got soem maternity trousers, i know its not really a bump but just my fatness but i cant do any of my trousers up and at least these are loose and dont make me feel sick wearing em, just the oppositen keepbloody fallin down aaarrggg, cant win.

dundee- how much was your belly band did you say topshop?

mad4girls · 18/05/2007 19:52

mum only nipped in and straight out again got to go somewhere so didnt have time to work up the courage tosay anything, so cross with myself but was reading a post in pregnancy about missing pregnant i recommendo evryone read it, its so beutiful be prepared though it made me cry....

littledetails · 18/05/2007 21:40

Havent been on for a bit, but im so glad I had a look as Im not the only one having a terrible pregnancy. Im pregnant with my 4th or poss 5th if its twins! Ive got a DD-15, DS-13 and DD-2.6. All three of my prenancies were wonderful with no symptoms at all, but this one is hellish, havent been sick but feeling it, eating for england to combat the sicky feeling, keep burping and have a constant bad taste in my mouth! Never again!!!!

flipflopper · 18/05/2007 22:03

Hello all, dont know what it is with everyone and your norty dreams! I am not having any, and have got no interest in sex whatsoever!

Just wondering, is there anyone else who hasn't had a proper period to go by, I have only had a withdrawol bleed, and thought you couldt reliably use that as a LMP?

I am not seeing the MW for my booking in until 4th June! By my LMP I will be 11+ weeks then, so might be too late for an early dating scan anyway, if she decides I need one.

The doc didnt seem to think I would get an early scan, just a 20wk scan, but can they accuratly date you from that???????????

Everyone else seems to be having scans at the moment! No fair!

frogger77 · 18/05/2007 22:15

Flipper I havent had a period to go by either really just guess work. Had a miscarriage in feb and no real period since then so with my doctors help we have put me at just over 8 weeks. I am getting a scan on Monday though due to spotting and previous history of mcs.

frogger77 · 18/05/2007 22:15

Dont know how I turned your name into "flipper" flipflopper!?!

mad4girls · 18/05/2007 22:16

frogger77 · 18/05/2007 22:17

mad4girls · 18/05/2007 22:22

looks like dp is popping home to set a trap up again,

mad4girls · 18/05/2007 22:23

sorry mice

frogger77 · 18/05/2007 22:27

Can you see where it goes when it runs away then you would be able to block its entrance up to stop it getting back in?
Are the council going to do anything about your neighbours rubbish?

mad4girls · 18/05/2007 22:39

yeah environmental health supposed to do soemthing but not till monday, they dont seem to be coming in anywhere except all can think is front door, we live in terraced house and the front door is straight in to the front room, but have been re4ally vigilant when opening and closing right behind us since xmas and the other 1 got in,

oh god just wnat it to be gone

hes set up trap in there now and gone back to work so going to go for a bath and hope by the time he gets back it will be in the time he gets back it will be in the trap

just makes me feel so dirty when im really quite a tidy/clean person

frogger77 · 18/05/2007 22:40

Enjoy your bath and try and relax!

mad4girls · 18/05/2007 22:47
