that seems AGES away - how can I wait until she's 3 or 4???

imdreamingofawhiteKITTYmas · 25/12/2007 22:22

The sad thing is it's not ages away I used to think that, she looked so grown up today playing with her new Barbies but too nothing else for it must have another one!

isaidhohoho · 26/12/2007 19:07

Sounds like you all had a good xmas! Can't believe it's practically over!

Libralady - hope those tablets have started working!

Hatrick - I'm with you on the downs syndrome thing - I wouldn't have a termination, so wouldn't risk a mc with an invasive test. It's only a risk though - 26/27 it will be fine!

Franny - as for size - well yesterday I looked enormous - my xmas dinner just seemed to have nowhere to go! I'm 13 weeks tomorrow and I think most people would recognise the belly as a bump, not fat. It's getting quite hard too.

Pretty sure I felt a couple of little movements this week - I like to think it wasn't wind

paulaplumpbottom · 26/12/2007 21:50

It is odd how wind feels so much like the early movements. We'll be feeling them soon enouygh. Once the start kicking our ribs we might not be so pleased anymore

imdreamingofawhiteKITTYmas · 26/12/2007 22:31

Oh yes just wait until we have a little bum wedged under our ribs and cannot breathe!

How is everyone tonight? Good I hope. Had a nice Boxing Day my Dad came up and totally spoiled the girls.

I have just had a long shower with my new posh shower gel, exfoliated my flaky, patchy, spotty, grey and dull face, put intensive foot cream on my horrendous feet and some hand cream on my rough hands and even some eye cream. Got into my new PJs having some toast and tea and maybe a few G&B's choccies. Asked DP if I looked a Goddess of Loveliness, he gave me a look

Anyway hope everyone else is having a lovely evening x

paulaplumpbottom · 26/12/2007 23:01

How are you feeling Kitty? Any more bleeds?

imdreamingofawhiteKITTYmas · 26/12/2007 23:05

Am feeling OK thanks Paula

No bleeding for 12 days so surely that must be a good sign?

With DD1 I had a bleed at 9 weeks and one at 10 then nothing after that at all, with the one I lost I had brown blood nearly every day until I Mc'ed proper.

I also look pregnant.

How are you doing?

paulaplumpbottom · 26/12/2007 23:08

I think it sounds great. I'm glad you haven't had anymore.

I'm feeling great. A bit tired from the past few days but nothing a few nights good sleep won't take care of. I haven't had anymore pink discharge. ITs weird I haven't had anything since my bleed.

It sounds like our babies are going to make it just fine. When is your scan?

imdreamingofawhiteKITTYmas · 26/12/2007 23:13

Great news for you too heres hoping for both of us, going by my last scan I was 12 weeks yesterday.

As for scan am going to phone them tomorrow and say I have had more bleeding on and off since 10 weeks when I last phoned and been having stomach cramps, blatant lies I know but as I won'tsee MW or have a scan for another 4 weeks I don't care, I have spent the last 2 weeks in so much worry.

paulaplumpbottom · 26/12/2007 23:14

I wouldn't feel bad about it, you pay your taxes and you deserved to be taken care of.

imdreamingofawhiteKITTYmas · 26/12/2007 23:16

I don't really feel that bad I will be paying for a scan at 20 weeks anyway as they are too tight to offer them up here.

paulaplumpbottom · 26/12/2007 23:19

I think that is so bizarre, and risky. I think the 20 week scan is so important. Surely any health risks should be addressed then.

Well I am off to bed. Can't keep my eyes open any longer. I'm really pleased you are feeling better I was really worried about you. Nighty night.

ThreeFrenchHensEEC · 27/12/2007 08:34

Hello there everyone. Hope you all had a fab christmas. Mine was great - fun and even relatively relaxing. LOs had a really great time. Spent most of yesterday playing risk, eating turkey sandwiches, and so many biscuits and choccies I am now 5 months... Really, I do feel enormous, but only 11 1/2 and still all very sqidgy so I really look just fat and not preg at all. Never mind. It will come soon enough.

Can't wait to start feeling flutters...

Mummywannabe · 27/12/2007 09:12

morning all. merry xmas.

Kitty - sounds good, hope you get your scan

hatrick - it must be hard for you but you sound very in control of everything.

I'm huge too, DH called me 'round' last night and i burst into tears , always thought i would love my changing body but its weird to be out of control!

FrannyandZooey · 27/12/2007 10:12

isaidhohoho yes that's it, after eating it is like the entire contents of your stomach are just sitting there thrust out in front of you

in the mornings I look vaguely curvy from the side and in the evening I lie down and have this huge protruberance sticking up

weird

hope everyone is well and had a good time the last couple of days

pigleychez · 27/12/2007 11:36

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a lovwely christmassy few days!

My christmas dinner was tiny this year as i just about managed a childs portion but still nice

Bump got presents this year! Friends of ours bought a giant teddy bear and friends of DH's family had knitted a tiny cute white cardigan for baby- Very sweet.. nearly blubbed when i unwrapped it

Have my scan on monday which i cant wait for but also alittle nervous at the same time.
Had planned not to buy anything untill after the scan but as people had already started buying presents then i though why not!
Just been to the Next and Debenhams sales and bought a few babygrows.

Just tucking into a Yummy cold turkey sandwich- Christmas isnt christmas without them!

frostythesnowMin912 · 27/12/2007 13:56

Hello all, hope you had good Christmasses!

We (or more accurately, mostly my Dad in what seemed to be festive over-excitement) told quite a few people over xmas (only family and close friends) but the more people who got told the more nervous it made me! I couldn't help but think 'yes, but what if...?'. And this with a distinct bump now!

Felt curiously better for having a hormonal meltdown at my dad later on xmas day when he thought it would be hilarious to go 'Boo boo boo!' through the baby intercom just as DS was dropping off to sleep (he's usually a very good sleeper, but had a few problems at my parents' due to different cot, smells etc.), thus making him wake right up in a total state and making me march downstairs and shout 'What the bloody hell did you do that for, now YOU can go and sit with him for 20 minutes until he calms down!!!!!!!!' in front of my entire family. Ultimately we had to take him out in the car for half an hour (DS, not my dad!) which did the trick - good thing I wasn't drinking!!

Somewhat randomly this lunchtime I threw up with almost no warning - bit of a shock as it's been 4 weeks since I last vommed and about two weeks since I've been feeling sick. Ah well, puts me back into the 'perhaps I am actually pregnant then' category... less than two weeks to go to my scan, am now feeling a bit weird about the fact DH can't be there with me and considering asking a friend, but then she'd have to take time off work. Hmmm...

sorry, rant over!

ThreeFrenchHensEEC · 27/12/2007 14:43

Got scan on Wednesday, and am also pretty nervous about DH not being able to be there, especially as it's nuchal fold and I get results for that and bloods straight away. It's going to be really hard as I still haven't decided yet whether to have CVS if the risk is considered high. If I do go ahead I will have it on the same day. I don't think I will be able to decide until the day, when I have had a proper chance to discuss things with the doctor, but am really scared about making the dcision alone. I don't really want to involve anyone else though.
Still, am just hoping that everything will be OK, and am very excited about seeing the baby... and finally being able to tell people.

ocomeALLYebabies · 27/12/2007 14:50

min912 - bloody dads.....christmas isn't christmas without them though!

got my scan tomorrow, am really excited. As it;s my borthday we're going out in the vening and am really that i cant drink, we're going out after our meal and everyone else will be plastered! still one or two glasses are ok! i shall savour every last drop!

christmas day here good, but manic! couldn't eat my christmas dinner that DF slaved for hours over but neither could he as he'd eaten so much cooking it! ds1 fell asleep on the sofa just before serving up and ds2 fell asleep in highchair during starters lol, bless him.

i got really emotional at casualty on Saturday night, i couldn't stop blubbing, i must be pregnant, something else really silly made me cry as well, am gettting really teary at everything!!

Kitty - am so glad your bleeding has stipped but you should still call tomorrow. Are you going to write to CEo and local MP?

frostythesnowMin912 · 27/12/2007 15:31

Aww a scan on your birthday, what a lovely present!

I will be in the same boat as you EEC - my friend is going to come along to the dating scan but then I've got the nuchal the next day and like you I will get the results straight away (bloods taken 9 days ago and I still have the bruise!! ). All these tests are quite scary but even with my advanced age of 35 the odds are with us I think... with DS I was told I had a 1 in 37,000 chance which was the same as a 15-yr old. Always knew I was a gymslip mum at heart!!

frostythesnowMin912 · 27/12/2007 15:32

nuchal next day without DH I mean...

MINNIE1 · 27/12/2007 22:33

ScottishSusan · 28/12/2007 07:24

Hi there everyone

Just wanted to add myself to the list!

EDD - july 18th so 11wks today. I have a ds age 15, a ds age 13, a ds age 10, a dd age 5 and a ds age 2. So yes this is number 6. We were trying for number 6 but I hoped to be pregnant sooner and eliver before June as I will 40 then.... ah well... age is only a state of mind! It doesn't help though that my 13 yr old ds informed me "wow mum that means you'll be 53 when this one is my age".....yes - thanks for that ds!!

Was shoced to read that 20wk scans are not standard thoughtout the country. That is awful. I had miscarriage in April and so was offered reassurance scan at 7 wks and will have 12 wks scan next week. 20 wk scan is detailed and is offered here as standard.

BTW - had last baby at home and looking forward to doing the same again. anyone else hopig to have home birth?

twinkle1 · 28/12/2007 08:14
