Been eating loads of raw broccolli if thats a weird craving?

we ended up going for the Chicco CT0.4 - its only a cheap one but we spent ages planning on a Loola, then we found a version of that Ipod thing that didn't come with a speaker system (WTF is that about?) but neither folded up quite small enough or indeed was cheap enough that we could use on campsites etc without worrying. This one is replaceable, iykwim and really compact- and also got excellent reviews online.

Got my next scan through just now- YAY! November 13th. As its so close I suspect they did get the gender rigt at the last scan- I am quite happy about it being a boy although Dh still wants his girly I suspect.

LoRayningNewtsAndFrogs · 13/10/2007 20:51

Thanks everyone Trying not to worry too much, I cant see that it's going to be a big deal really, especially not now I've had some more replies on the health thread. Just gonna call the colposcopy clinic as soon as I can monday.

Little bleeder is right where my maternity under bump jeans sit, and making them really uncomfortable grrrr.

On the plus side, DP has had thurs/fri off work and wont be back til wednesday so knowing how badly I have been sleeping, I have had the bed to myself from around 8am every morning and he has left me be and took the kids downstairs til around 11/12 o clock

I'm eating loads of apples. 4 to 5 a day. and as I at 5 apples a year before my pregnancy, I really think it counts as weird.

Yesterday my grandma said I would have a boy as there are so many nuts on the trees this year. But she already predicted my mum the same - and I'm an only child

chipmonkeyPumpkinNorks · 14/10/2007 17:45

Eva, apples fine!
Peachy, raw broccoli!!!!!!That is weird!

Thelittlesoldiersmummy · 14/10/2007 18:11

I'm Oranges and weird dreams oh and crying at things I would never cry at in fact today I though about how I was horrid once to my Mum when I was 18 (I am 30 in Feb) and I cried and felt really really bad

scorpio1 · 14/10/2007 18:32

Hey everyone, long time no speak! feel like crying today, for no reason , weird.

Hope everyone well? im gone 14 weeks now, i cannot believe it! I can feel the baby too; i did this early twice before too, so i know thats it. DP is yet to feel though.

All this talk of buggy buying! We are having a loola this time, in pearly grey. Going to buy in January. We are getting a rocking crib too, they look so beautiful.

I always love apples anyway, but i am eating loads of fruit and have a mad craving for tea which im only having one cup a day, because im too cautious of caffeine! I am also still in the stage of wanting crap, but not really giving in I smelt dp's beer today, [dribble] was lush!

My bump is huuuuggge and i too am finding my jeans dig in where the baby is at the mo, IYSWIM? got some nice jeans with elastic around the top so no probs!

Am back at uni now, i havent told any of the people there yet though.

Lorayn, im sorry i dont know much about that sort of thing, but thoughts are with you

How is everyone else?

chipmonkeyPumpkinNorks · 14/10/2007 20:27

scorpio, I find myself crying over absolutely nothing!

LoRayningNewtsAndFrogs · 14/10/2007 21:17

Well, just got back from te doctors, have horrid heartburn, which caused a vomiting session earlier, which led to shirtness of breath and then me fainting.

The doc has checked me over and said I have low blood pressure, nothing too severe, but low enough to cause the dizziness and fainting. I ahd this with both the other two though, so not too worried, I know when the feeling comes over me and can normally stop it just in time.

chipmonkeyPumpkinNorks · 14/10/2007 21:58

Oh dear, Lorayn, you really are having a bad time of it this week aren't you.

Piccalilli2 · 15/10/2007 07:05

Oh Lorayn, hope you feelbetter soon, you're having such a miserable time right now.

Buggies - we've got a Bugaboo which we'll use for this one although a friend has also lent me a double buggy for occasional outings when dd can't walk that far - it's really heavy though. I'd love to get a shiny new buggy but can't justify it as this is definitely our last child.

No weird cravings for me - just chocolate!!

LoRayningNewtsAndFrogs · 15/10/2007 09:11

TBH, the low blood pressure isnt that bad, I think the fainting scared my dd more than anyone I just phoned the colposcopy clinic and apparently I do need the smear as I need checking up, but it isnt a problem during pregnancy after the first three months.

Soph73 · 15/10/2007 10:05

Morning all. Hi Scorpio great to hear from you. Lorayn - pleased you´re feeling better, I was getting worried about you while catching up on everyone´s messages {{big hug}} Welcome to paranoidmummy.

Soph73 · 15/10/2007 10:05

Well I now have DH's stonking cold so am in really grumpy mood today Also going through paranoid stage, thinking stuff's wrong, etc. Have got scan on 22nd.

I have moved one day up the list

Had my 12 week scan today all went really well! Baby is 52.6mm so a little one (same as DS) nuchal fold test results are now 1:3590 so really happy

EllieG · 15/10/2007 11:41

Great news tlsm! Really pleased for you x

Hello to everyone else - long time no hear scorpio, but glad you're well. I'm in stretchy trousers now - put on my fat jeans at the weekend and they were so uncomfy I had to change. People keep thinking I'm much furhter on than I am so was worrying no one else is ever as bumpy as me and that I was just fat

TheMaskedPoster · 15/10/2007 11:48

fab news tlsm

Soph73 · 15/10/2007 12:22

Great tlsm
EllieG - stick with me I´m mahoosive

LoRayningNewtsAndFrogs · 15/10/2007 12:48

Me too, I was at the bus stop next to someone probably as pregnant as me and couldnt keep my eyes off her tidy little bump. Grrrrrr.

Great news tlsm, is there anyone still not had a scan??

EllieG · 15/10/2007 12:49

I don't think the chocolate is helping mind

Piccalilli2 · 15/10/2007 12:51

I'm enormous, been in maternity trousers for several weeks and look about 6 months gone.

ToastAddict · 15/10/2007 13:18

Just got back from a week's holiday (sunny Cornwall) so spent ages catching up.

Glad I'm not the only one feeling big. Reckon I'm 13+3 today and really struggled to get into my "fat" work trousers. But looked at maternity ones yesterday and they all seemed huge. Big shopping trip tomorrow lunchtime, I think.

Have a scan tonight, privately. I had one a couple of weeks ago on the NHS, for reassurance, and they said that would be the dating scan. Which is fine, but I just wanted a "12 weeks has been and gone and everything's OK" scan. I'm figuring, the rate I'm growing, everything should be OK, but I am the world's greatest worrier, so this will put my mind at rest, hopefully. Have decided to have nuchal scan done at same time; I'm 31, so my risk should be lowish, but I like to have as much info as possible. So now I have that to worry about!

First day back at work and counting down the hours til the scan (6pm) is not a good combination!!
