I yam what i yam graduates

[Mamabooksbabynumber2]

Any ladies over here in the pregnancy boards from the ttc yammer board want to join Me?

I'm 4 weeks and just got my bfp yesterday and have my fx for a sticky bean x

I was the same with DD, every scan day or appointment and I’d convince myself that something was wrong. Good luck, and let us know how you get on x

Feeling exactly the same @Si1ver - mine's tomorrow afternoon and I can't stop going through all the possible scenarios. Let us know how you get on.

One of my colleague's IVF has failed at the egg collection stage. I feel so awful for her and don't know how to be supportive, other than fucking off out the office as my simple presence is going to be shit for her as it is. 😔

Scan went absolutely fine, everything where it should be and no issues at all.

Lovely news @s1lver are you team yellow?

Sorry @si1ver

That's good news, Si1ver! Did you find out the sex?!

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow, Wonky.

I did. We're having a boy. 😍

So pleased to hear it went well S1lver. Another thread boy! Congratulations that's lovely news. Hope all is good tomorrow Wonky.

How're you feeling now, June?

I'm craving sweet stuff like there's no tomorrow and I can't really have anything. This GD sucks arse quite honestly. It's so frustrating having to plan every boring mouthful, and tedious to keep explaining that no, I can't just treat myself. Pfft.

si1ver congratulations! I loved finding out early so we could plan everything properly.

@limplettice sorry you’ve got GD, I’ve not had it but I know people who have and said it’s tedious.
I’m feeling okay, the shock has worn off and I’m just trying to take it Day by day.

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been quiet. Things have been pretty bleak for me lately physically. I've had uti's and chest infections and on Tuesday morning I had a funny turn and was hospitalised for a suspected pulmonary embolism! I was admitted overnight and had some more tests today. They are saying that they are 99% sure I don't have any clots.

I've lost 17lbs since my booking in appointment so my GP has ordered an urgent thyroid test and I'm seeing my respiratory consultant on Monday. We heard baby's heartbeat whilst I was in hospital, which was reassuring.

Everyone is worried here, my parents and DH have taken time off from work to help out as the school run has become unmanageable with my breathing. Sorry for the MASSIVE rant! It's been a bit scary

@MynameisJune. Congratulations! Sorry it's taken me a while ❤ x

@Si1ver. Ahh team 💙 Lovely. You must be thrilled x

@wonkydonk87 Good luck ❤ x

@LookingAtTheStars89 That sounds terrifying! Glad your parents and DH are rallying around you. Try not to worry about the weight loss and baby, my colleague lost loads through HG but was able to build back up again and her DD is gorgeous at 3mo now. Hopefully a good joined up effort between respiratory and endocrinology and they'll get you fit and well again. Hope you have a restful weekend planned.

It's not too late Milknosugar1. Private scan?

At 34 weeks it could be too late, when we had our early gender scan with DD there was a higher cut off point. Might not be 34 weeks could be 36. Possibly because baby is so big and has little room by that point that it’s hard to see.

On the plus side you don’t have long left to wait now!!

Looking that all sounds very stressful indeed. I'm glad you've got lots of support though.

Innit, Milk. You'd think after all the yamming we'd all be due a break and nice easy pregnancies. I feel ok but the pressure of this fecking diet has made me cry more than once. I didn't find out with DD and loved the surprise but I think after all the upset before we needed to make it all as tangible and practical as possible.

Hope you got on ok yesterday Wonks.

Limp I have no idea how I would cope in your position - I'm like Augustus Gloop at the moment, sweet stuff is everything to me. Not long to go - and at least your arse won't be as wobbly as mine at the end!
Scan was fine yesterday. All measuring within normal parameters, apart from a slightly small head. Got to have another scan at 36 weeks to check location of placenta as it's quite low atm. Fingers crossed it's far enough away from my cervix to stay low risk.

I doubt it Wonky, I'm living on cheese, eggs, cream, chicken, nuts and broccoli, so will probably be wobbly as hell. All I want is crunchy food, cereal, fried, biscuit or breadcrumbed but the v low carbs mean it's impossible. Or a jam scone. I'm taking jam and scones to bloody hospital. I made vast amounts of greengage cinnamon, blackberry and raspberry jams last month and they just sit there taunting me haha.

Glad to hear all well, and a bonus scan at 36 weeks is nice. I have next growth scan in 10 days, hoping this deprivation is keeping him on the 50th and they're going to leave me be.

Yay, Si1ver, another boy!

Looking, sorry to hear you've had a scare and people are worrying, I hope everything continues okay for you x

Your GD sounds such a pain in the arse, Limp. The diet sounds dreadful. Fingers crossed for the growth scan!

I get to have 28- and 32-week scans due to potential pre-eclampsia which is nice, just 3 weeks away for 28-week one. Hopefully the total PI thing they look at hasn't gone any higher so I won't be at a higher risk. I want my water birth! Everyone in my health authority gets a 36-week scan, so I have one every month until the birth! Which I know makes me lucky.

Things are still stressful here. My GP saw me yesterday and said I was too breathless, too pale and had lost too much weight so back to hospital I went!

More blood tests, ecg's and a chest scan. I was there six hours! I've reluctantly agreed to some kind of radioactive scan to rule out a lung clot. I'm on blood thinners until then. Me and my mum had an emotional conversation and I just said "l will have to have the scan because I don't want to die" which I don't! Fingers crossed it will be clear.

@WonkyDonk87. My DD's had small heads on scans but when they are out they didn't. They also reckoned my youngest would be less that 5lbs but she was 6lbs 2. Did you find out if you're 💖 or 💙??

@LimpLettice. I Will be an emotional wreck if they tell me I have GD! I am living for my two small bars if dairy milk a day 😂.

Wow @LookingAtTheStars89 - are there risks with the scan? I'd do it too if I were in your position. Hope you're resting up.

Didn't find out the sex, I'd like the surprise (although I suspect girl as struggling with names!)

Blimey, Looking, what a tough decision to have to make. Sending you lots of hugs and yes, fingers crossed it'll be clear x

@WonkyDonk87 They have said "low risk" I got them to repeat it over and over. It's mainly a cancer risk for us both I think.

Yeah my parents didn't want to influence my decision but they said once I'd decided that they thought it was for the best. I said to my mum that if I pop my clogs then so does baby so not having it isn't saving anyone from harm is it?

@SoozC. Thanks ❤ I'm keeping them crossed too. I'm covered in bruises from being poked and prodded!

😭😭😭😭 Yammers! In need of FULL ON support. I have a fucking pulmonary embolism! They told me today. I am beyond devastated and scared! HELP!
