July 2019 - Part 5!!

[Kentishgal]

Here goes...hope this works...

Wonder how many threads we'll have completed before the end of the first trimester!

My Friend who had a MMC used the clear Blue weeks test and it had gone down so I thought I'd try it did one Sat & today both 3+ still. That's 5% hope!

Good luck today everyone with scans.

January 2nd is technically my second scan but the one I had at six weeks I don't think was right at all, she put me back by quite a lot. Plus of course at six weeks you can't really see anything!

Rose that is an incredible story! Congratulations xx

Good luck @TwinkleDay and @Michelle0507

I'm a bit concerned today as the dog (cocker spaniel) stood on my belly this morning while I was in bed. I can still feel where his paw stuck in. Hope he hasn't hurt the little one! I'm trying to stop him from doing that but he caught me unawares this morning

Thanks @ScaredyKat. Our cats are a nightmare for jumping onto your stomach in bed and padding you!

I wouldn't worry @TheScaredyKat - my two are forever putting their paws in awkward places. They are fragile but not that fragile

Dogs and pregnancy are an interesting combination. I have two and it's funny how they have changed their behaviour.

A lot of our post-12 week plans are around the dogs and getting them baby ready if all goes well. The plan is to take one of the two on a course, to teach them how to help around the house.

I am at 10+2 today, I've been getting lower abdominal pain for a while, but I'm staying hopeful. The midwife was very lovely, and reminded me that everything is growing.

12 week scan isn't until 10th January, so it's still over two weeks away. We had an early scan due to spotting and saw the heartbeat, so hoping everything is still progressing.

After four years of trying, I'm still not sure how we've been lucky enough to get here.

Feeling sick still so I think I'll be avoiding Christmas plans with the families! I can't be sick at the in-laws.

Many congrats on the scans and everything crossed for the ones today! My next one is 28/12.

11+5 today and while (dare I say it!) the vomiting is reducing a bit, the nausea and exhaustion have been relentless. DH and I had one normal day the other day - shopping, lunch, walked home - and I've been flat out ever since. Really surprised me quite how much. I sort of catch myself saying and doing all the stuff my grandma would do when I was a child. 🙈 I hope this passes soon. Also avoiding most plans, especially the in-laws.

It's crazy how wiped you can get from the little things! We took the dogs down the beach this morning then pub lunch with the family and I am so tired! Trying to muster the energy for drinks tonight now!

Hope today's scans have gone well

@TheScaredyKat my dog is continually standing on my stomach (trying to stop him) and I was worried too but scan showed a happy and healthy baby. All the padding helps!

Scan all went well, measuring 5 days ahead so new due date 3rd July. Even got my 20 week scan date which was a bonus. Apparently my iron stores are low so I'm on iron tablets for the rest of the pregnancy. Oh joy

Lovely news Squ1ggle! Apart from the iron tablets, annoying. I can't wait to stop taking folic acid!

Yay nice still baby for the measurements to be taken bloods went well, now off the the plan of action to tell me folks.

OMG!!!

Yay @TwinkleDay x

My scan went really well. Measuring 11+5 so now due 10th July. All tests came back good too.

The best Christmas present ever 😊

Scan was fine measured 12 + 1 not 11 + 6 but she couldn't get a proper measurement it kept stretching out. Back a week today for my antenatal. Can't wait to see baby again we keep saying he!

Brilliant news you two! ❤️

Lovely news all round! 💜🎄💫

Fab news for the scans today! What a perfect Christmas present.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a naughty pooch stomping about!

Not the best photo and if it isn't sideways it looks strange I think it's due to wiggling so much! I didn't realise they were so active at 12weeks.

scardy I wouldn’t worry unless dog is maybe an overweight greatdane... baby will be well protected in there.

My cat (affectionately known on men as catface) lies on my belly and pads it. She also will not leave me alone. She follows me to the bathroom, sleeps next to me on bed and gets most annoyed when I get up off the couch...

@ememem84 my 3 are the same, my Mum and kitten got me through a bad patch so they've been so so mothered! Love them to pieces even at 4am when they climb on me!

@Michelle0507 gorgeous photo, pleased it went well. Are you happy to have your name on mumsnet? If not, might be worth asking MNHQ to delete post!

@Michelle0507 lovely photo. Mine has changed so much in the last week.

Parents and bro told and lots of happy tears and also a discussion is he would like to be uncle knobhead or brother in law to be lol and also popped to see my nan and she was really happy ... feel settled and hope I can sleep better tonight.

Merry Christmas everybody! X

Aw yay ! Great news on all the scans today!

My eldest has just gone to bed, impatiently waiting for her to fall asleep so we can get the presents out ! So excited.

Hope you all have a Fab day tomorrow !

I got them to take it down but I am on the FB group so people do see my full name but I guess you don't know who looks on here! ;)

Thank you
