Loved the new thread title - that sums us up very nicely!
Had to leave the kitchen in a hurry earlier as DH was cooking some cabbage for himself and the smell just made me want to heave. Yuck! Have gone right off veggies at the moment.
Great news about the successful scans today - it makes it more real once you've seen the bean doesn't it?
Hope everybody else is OK this evening.

divedaisy · 26/03/2008 21:09

Pinkali37 and Smiles - I'm so pleased for you both that you got the scan results you were hoping for. I'm a bit jealous tooas I've to wait again for another week and half. My last scan, when I thought I was about 7 weeks, indicated I was 5-6 weeks and couldn't see anything other than sac.. so to go back on 4th. My last scan the sac was 1.4mm - Good god 7.4mm seems a lot of growing for my bump within 2 weeks - is that OK?? anyway it is great news admist all the ms, pains, worries we're all having.

Dungun - glad the bleeding has stopped. Fab. x

Yesterday I had to go to bed in the afternoon. I didn't want anything to eat, but was hungry and Yucky at the same time. So lethargic and uninterested in anything. Yet today I feel better, although don't want to eat too much. Though nearly fell asleep when giving DS his good night cuddle.

Love the new name - I had a mini panic attack - I thought I was gonna loose you all GO on, give us a ginger biccie!!

DungunGirl · 26/03/2008 21:39

SO here is where you are all!

pinkali I am so pleased that you got to see little bean/pea and that it has a great beating heart. Great news! Your cats and dogs are so adorable by the way!

Thanks everyone for your wishes!

I have had a little more brown/light pink discharge this afternoon but I am not going to worry about it as it isn't fresh blood and there is nothing I can do about it anyway!

I just have to wait to hear my blood results tomorrow morning and then hope all goes well until my scan on 7th April.

twinklingfairy · 27/03/2008 00:39

Silly o' clock at night and I am still up, again. Oh dear.

You are worrying me with your talk of feeling rubbish and not being interested in food.
Oh god, I am frightened

I tried to add pics earlier but the internet connection kept crashing every time.
Will try again soon.

I too like the new thread name.

Oh serendippity poor you 3 times in one day.
I was assuming that everyone with talk of feeling poo would be further along than me, but that is just downright unfair, for you
Oh suiledonn in hospital by 7 weeks, you poor thing! I used to be in my bed by 9pm in order to make it stop for 12hours, then an afternoon nap to get a release for an hour or so too. You must be about 8 weeks now though? I hate the idea of counting days away but it is what you have to do when they are poo. When did it pass for you, last time?

dozymare · 27/03/2008 07:13

Here you all are!!! Fab title and a nice shiny new thread for us to fill!! Hope everyone is alright and had good nights???! serendipity very jealous of your weimaraner.....the minute we move out of London I am going to get one! Had one growing up and they are the best dogs ever!! What is yours called????

Have updated the liost as finally (!) got my dating scan...it's this monday coming so that gives me the whole weekend to worry but at least I get support here I don't feel PG anymore apart from the od twinge haven't really had major sickness or anything........Anyone else got a scan Monday..can we worry together??!

Pinkali37 · 27/03/2008 09:04

Morning All, well that confused me... I was like "what do you mean the thread can't be addded to?"... alas I find you all here.

So, After scan yesterday feel a little happier that it is in fact real, I have a PEA inside me. Keep looking at the photo, it's so small and the bit I think is it's head is in fact the yolk! Oh well, a mothers love, it really doesn't matter that it looks like a prawn at the moment.

Divedaisy, I too had to go to bed yesterday at 4.30 and woke up at 8.00pm. Got up, had a jacket potato and went to bed again. Think i had so much nervous energy built up from being anxious about scan. Plus felt like I had had a heavy night on the Pinot Grigio.

Re size of bean/pea, don't worry I think they double in size from 4 weeks to 6 weeks so that is quite amazing. Especially the thought that as the MW said yesterday in the EPAU mine is now 7.4mm but by the time we go for the 12 week scan it will measure around 10cm !!! Now that is a big growth spurt.

So I haven't been sick BUT just don't fancy food. Does that make sense? I have no desire to cook whatsoever when I usually love cooking.

Sorry for the long post. xxxxx

Roca · 27/03/2008 09:55

MOrning - juts had cereal coz is breakfast time but now sitting here wondering whether am gonna be sick or not. I must get something ginger like in the house - biscuits a bit hard as am coeliac (will have to see whether I can get them gluten free) otherwise think I will try to find some drink.

Think I will put off cleanin my teeth as that is bound to make me put my head down the loo

Does anyone have pains on and off that they could say were on one side - I do now and then and can't help but think 'oh no' is that ectopic. But then later it's not there so am sure it's normal and am sure if it was ectopic I would know about it.

Oh look at the state of my house, clothes on the table, clothes on the stairs (top and bottom) clothes in the washing machine, clothes on the bed and bedroom floors!! ahhhhhhh have already hoovered up a load of talc that my DD decded to shake all over the floor....

Pinkali37 · 27/03/2008 10:02

Hi Roca, I get some very strange pains. Some quite painful on my right side (which I was also convinced was ectopic). I also get it on my left but think that is my bowel (mmmm).

Roca · 27/03/2008 10:13

thanks Pink. Is assuring to hear others have that. It's really on and off. Really low down and totally not there now whereas I'm sure with ectopic it's really bad all the time?

Heartmum2Jamie · 27/03/2008 10:15

I hope I can reassure some of thr ladies that don't feel pregnant, I don't either and am 8+3. I have never really suffered in early pregnancy with any of my pregnancies, but boy, do I get a list of things by the end. I am so not looking forward to the crippling heartburn the awful restless legs syndrome and backache from hell! It is all very worth it though and all thoughts of how good or bad your pregnancy was flies out the window when you hold your baby.

Roca, I have been getting some weird pains on and off. Some have been on my side and quiet painful, turned out to be a combination of wind and round ligament pain. This week I am getting a fair bit of cramping towards the evening if I have done too much, obviously my bodies way of telling me to slow down a little

I had been wondering where my nausea had gone, nit that I get it bad, but I hardly get it at all during the day now. I found it at 3 am this morning when I had to get up to pee. Seems I feel more sick overnight and sleep it off and really only notice when I get up. Also, strangely enough, my boobs have not been sore at all, but were feeling more sore yesterday and my nips, ouch! All good signs I hope! Still feeling nervous naturally as I spotted at 8+6 with my miscarriage, but I am not as worried or scared as I thought I would be leading up to 9 weeks.

I am now waiting, rather impatiently for scan dates and for the doppler that a friend is lending me to arrive in the post. I rented a doppler with ds2 and heard his heartbeat at 9+4, such a beautiful sound.

I hope that you all have a good day, or as good as you can when feeling sick, and worrying about every little twinge, and symptoms or lack of it

OP posts:
juanitad · 27/03/2008 10:22

HM2J, what's a doppler?

Tinkerisdead · 27/03/2008 10:23

Hi everyone, havent really been on the thread as it fills up so quick. if you stay away for one day its impossible to catch up! I have midwife booking in next week so really jealous of all those who have had their scans already

i have days where i dont feel pregnant, feel sick unless im eating so im gonna get as big as a house. ive really craved lemons and DH has been getting me lemon bakewells and other crap and i have been whiney that its not sour enough. Bingo with Lemon Sorbet! ate a whole tub and DH looked at me gone out! Also loving vinegar in beans. Now you remember i was loving the smell of washing but ive weaned myself off.....by not doing any washing! he he. welcome to all those who have joined. Its a horrible time to be in I think, you feel awful, you prob chosen not to tell the world so the help isnt forthcoming at a time when you feel rough and are worried sick!

glad we're all in it together :-)

juanitad · 27/03/2008 10:27

Oo, exciting, the midwife just rang me. Booking in appt on 8th April!! She sounded nice. Time seems to be going so slowly at the moment, almost as slowly as when I was on the 2WW!!

Heartmum2Jamie · 27/03/2008 10:30

Junaitad, a doppler is a little hand held device that midwives us to listen to babies heartbeat. Medical greade ones can be rented or you can even buy them from ebay. I wouldn't buy one now as it is my last baby, but I am pleased to be able to borrow one.

OP posts:
Roca · 27/03/2008 10:31

hey hm2j - can you really hear heartbeat that early? I couldn't unti 13wks with the midwife - ended up floods when couldn't hear it at 12 wks even though she said it would be unlikely!
