@clairelee17 my dp had the same dream the other day! He dreamt I gave birth to puppies!

@RiseYeSunkenShips pairing some of the better carbs is a good shout. Seedy oatcakes with Philadelphia or houmous are nice. I’ve not really got a sweet tooth but I’m just so sad that it prob means no bread or pasta until August - it was awful last time. DD wasn’t even that big - 3.57kg at 41w. I really hated the side effects of Metformin and was so pleased I managed to avoid insulin so if I can manage by diet this time then that will be even better.

@Bakingabean that's unbelievable! How weird!! I wonder what it means!

Greeting All! Can I join the back of the bus? I notice from your list you've a space on 31 August...After 3 years hard graft I'm finally expecting my 2nd.

I’m sorry so many of you are going through a hard time waiting for your scans. It really is so hard not to overthink every single thing. I’ve battled with nausea and vomiting last few weeks but my boobs are barely sore or any different and I keep getting these cramps in the abdomen/vagina which the doctor dismissed as being due to gas but ofcourse my brain refuses to accept that and imagines the worst.

So if it’s not one thing, it’s another..

@RiseYeSunkenShips I've been having really vivid dreams. I think it's the progesterone. I woke up feeling sick the other morning. I'd had a dream I was trapped in a tent rolling down a hill not envy!
@clairelee17 maybe it means you're having multiples?!

Welcome @osney, I'm only a couple of days ahead of you, also expecting #2

@CalmerComber same, my DD was only 3.2Kg. I was ok with wholemeal carbs last time so long as I went for a walk after, so I made my own wholemeal pizza - I don’t think I could cope that long without it!

@Cobblestones, it’s hard isn’t there’s always something to worry about. I had a shower the other morning and suddenly realised I didn’t feel sick and panicked, nausea came back by the time I was ready tho! Hope the cramps go away soon.

Glad I’m not the only one having weird dreams! At least they’re a good sign if it’s the progesterone :)

@ScotsBaby2 can I join the fb group please?

@nursiemum27 after you mentioned Philadelphia it’s all I’ve been able to think about! Finally managed to get my hands on a bagel with Philadelphia and cucumber. ‘Twas glorious! I’m tempted to stuff another in my gob!

@bakingabean it’s magic stuff I tell ya!!!!having to go to Tesco now as dh ate the last of it, told him it’s for me not anyone else 😂

@avacadooo how did the scan go?

@ScotsBaby2 went well, totally forgot cause I'm binge watching Brooklyn 99.
Just about wet myself cause they were twenty minutes late and the receptionist acted as if we were best friends cause I worked with her years ago but can't remember her at all so that was awkward.
Little beast is measuring right and has a good heartbeat and we saw it wiggling.

I'd recommend the scan even though I know stuff could still happen at least it's reduced my anxiety for the time being since I've still got a month until my nhs one!

Went for breakfast after and I couldn't eat it cause I suddenly hate bacon and the waiter was so nice and took it off the bill even though it was my fault I couldn't eat it!

Lovely scan pic @avacadooo, I’ve got mine on Wednesday when i’ll be 9wks and can’t wait, just hoping everything’s ok!

@RiseYeSunkenShips aww, it's so good getting one done! It's so weird to see it wiggle.
Also forgot to say earlier my dreams have also been bizarre so I'm glad you mentioned it, I don't feel like so much of a weirdo now!😂😂

Has anyone else thought how weird it must be for the poor thing to be moving it's paddle arms one week and then sprouting fingers the next? I can just imagine it being like wtf am I meant to do with these 😂

I had a reassurance scan today, 10 weeks, because I have minimal symptoms and I am having real trouble staying positive.
Scan went really well, saw arms legs and a lot of wriggling going on. Wouldn't stay still for a good picture. NHS scan on 22nd,

@ScotsBaby2 please can I join the FB group?

@avacadooo lovely scan picture!! Yeah I think That spesh coz if the app on baby progress sends your mind wild lol

Nausea is back tonight 🙁 keep telling myself it won't be long now x

Lovely scan pictures @avacadooo and @UnicornDust17

Anyone wanting added to the Facebook group just needs to private message me their email address. You can't pm on the app so it would need to be on a browser.

I can’t believe how much they look like babies already in your pics! When I had one for my DD it was just a little blob!

Ahhh cute pic @avacadooo

@UnicornDust17 and @avacadooo fab pics! I'm quite envious now, thinking I might do the same! I'm 9w4d, and have my NHS scan on 23rd Jan, but like you @UnicornDust17, really having trouble staying positive. The anxiety is just dreadful. If I haven't cried every day in December, I've been nearly on the verge, and I don't suffer with anxiety at all but it's really getting to me. Having previous mc doesn't help the situation either.

Does anyone else feel nauseous when they go outside and hit the fresh air? Most of the time that happens to me xx

@clairelee17 we have our scan on the same day xx

How are you today @OctoberGirl91?

And how are you doing @Chocolate89? Are you feeling any better?

Aww feeling a bit better thanks @unicorndust ❤ have 2 weeks off work to recover so just trying to rest up and eat right! Love your scan pics, very excited for my one next wed, I'll be 10+3.
@avacadooo lovely pic of your wee baby!
