Well it's easy for HER isn't it? She just has to sit there and enjoy the 9-mile ride while you do all the work.

thanks for the aqua aerobics tip. that sounds pretty appealing actually. I'm going to start doing pre-natal yoga soon (at home, I can't find any suitable classes). I hope it's not too easy/unchallenging but you're not meant to do regular yoga after 3 months.

Well so my yoga-teaching friend tells me, but I've been at yoga workshops with heavily pregnant women doing handstands, so obviously some people don't worry about it.

welcome nikki and thanks skidoodle, i treied earlier to have a warm bath but someone just walked in and switched the hot tap on i kept saying no dont do it but to no avail! hope they dont come back tomorrow

iliketosleep · 30/08/2007 22:37

iliketosleep · 31/08/2007 04:26

hi all, well its 4:23am and ive just woken up in a pool of blood so i guess thats me out too

Ive just told a sleepy dp and he said its probably the collapsed sac, before falling back to sleep. I know im not that lucky though Ill let you all know when i know more xx

merryberry · 31/08/2007 08:48

Hurrah Derah, you made it into aqua-natal after your false starts! hurrah!

imjin100 · 31/08/2007 08:58

oh dear I liketosleep, are you ok - silly question I suppose but keeping things crossed for you. Get yourself to the doctor/mw or epu and stay cosy.

Trousers done up with elastic band today, tried on some new clothes yesterday but just looked like a sack of boob so bought nothing in disgust. Will keep squeezing self into normal stuff until it gets silly!

derah · 31/08/2007 09:03

Aaaargh, just lost a post! Here we go again....

Iliketosleep - what a scary experience! Get yourself to the EPU as soon as you can this morning. We'll be thinking of you....

Merryberry - nope, still no aqua-natal class. I missed it again this week cos I needed to chat to my dad about Christmas in S.Africa and didn't have time to get dogs walked/dd fed before class started. Maybe next week! I've got my scan on Tue so might feel more like I belong in the class next week anyway!

I'm feeling smug today, rode my bike to work. Skidoodle - DD doesn't just get to sit there, she gets to make it all harder for me by a) being very heavy and b) wriggling around! Little pest!

Good luck today iliketosleep, hope your dp is right (though i dont really understand what he means).

Will come back to check if any news later.

glammama · 31/08/2007 09:53

Got everything crossed for you today, Iliketo sleep. Good luck. (((Hugs)))

gingercat12 · 31/08/2007 09:59

Thinking of you iliketosleep. Hope it goes well at the EPU.

Last night I felt really uncomfortable (gases and so on, sorry if TMI), and only throwing up helped. When will these symptoms end?! I am 13 weeks today

Though I almost felt human this morning, I managed to have some clear thoughts for about 10 minutes

e14mum · 31/08/2007 10:07

Morning all!

Iliketosleep- thinking about you today. Let us know how you are.

I've got some good news- we had a scan yesterday afternoon and there's a jumping little bean in there! DH swears he saw it spinning around. All measurements checked out ok, and dates confirmmed. That makes me 12+5 today!

I slept with the photos on my bedside table can you tell it's our first?!

Hope you're all keeping well. Virtual chocolate and hot baths all around. Ahhh...

imjin100 · 31/08/2007 10:12

well done you derah, I also biked (all two miles) but even managed some exercises at home before so feel justified in the hot chocolate I've just had.

Skidoodle I fear I've given the wrong impression, I like being fit but I@m not super dooper derah style athlete....I like to try but I'm a long way off it! I too am somewhat concerned however by the loss of a waist = when you have big boobs and a small waist you flaunt the waist part and now I'm begining to look trunk like....ummm. However
have lovely evening ahead, surprising husband for his birthday and taking him to london eye followed by lovely dinner on the river. Do hope i can stay awake, on recent preformance I'll be kipping as we exit the eye!

derah · 31/08/2007 10:25

Imjin - super dooper derah style athlete? Wah hah !! Once maybe! Super dooper derah style couch potato is the new look this summer. One 9-mile bike ride once or twice a week (if that) does not an athlete make! Sounds like a great evening you have planned with DH, enjoy yourself.

e14mum - hooray for your little jumping bean!

merryberry · 31/08/2007 12:14

good luck at 3pm iliketosleep!

derah · 31/08/2007 12:23

Will be thinking of you iliketosleep. Let's hope your DH was right [fingers crossed emoticon]

iliketosleep · 31/08/2007 12:59

thankyou 3 o clock seems so far away!

Brazilianmum · 31/08/2007 13:04

Iliketosleep - good luck with the appointment. Hope it all goes well.

MerlinsBeard · 31/08/2007 13:07

iliketosleep, this sounds like a wierd thing to say but i really hope its just the empty sac. Are yu being scanned? or just going to Dr?

iliketosleep · 31/08/2007 13:11

i have no idea, i dont know whats going to happen and i think thats whats worrying me most all i want is a scan so i can know whats going on in there, this is horrible

iliketosleep · 31/08/2007 13:12

omg im so sorry to all of you i shouldnt be posting on this thread, its not fair to you all im really sorry my head isnt in the right place at the moment. How are you all?

MerlinsBeard · 31/08/2007 13:20

ilike, don't apologise! its fine!! we are all on this journey togethr and it will be rocky on places (sorry for cheesy cliche!!)
of course you can post here!

iliketosleep · 31/08/2007 13:21

thankyou, im nearly in tears here

MerlinsBeard · 31/08/2007 13:27

i bet you are, i do think ou need to push for a scan though., where did yu go last time? can you ring them directly and tell them whats happened? have you booked in with MW? can you ring her and see what she says?
