[Squack]

I'd better be over here soon!

I have not long got in from work and I am so very tired! Let the chilling commence

Jeez, t'is dusty in here...

Where are you all? Don't all say the TTC thread please...

Splutter, sneeze- crikey it is dusty.

Lets have a scan wait list here!

22nd Oct- Glask 12wk
28th Oct- Ses 12wk
5th Nov- Gyo 20wk

Any others?

Nope, no more scans for me.

Just a labour, why do I get all the fun?

how are the contractions ?

Oooooh like a truck going through me every 5-10 mins...

LOL If I ignore them, they aren't happening, if I talk about them, I feel all sorry for myself

You got your jet lag under control yet?

Lol cool. good for you, sounds like agony! but I wont mention

Jetlag is much better today thanks. think being PG made it harder to get over, plus having a streaming cold. I was feeling sorry for myself but snapping out of it now!

hello!! i always forget about this wagon!! i haven't managed to get a nap yet!! - yes NJ- defo got MNitus!!! just put DD in her buggy will go and get a juice and then lie on the couch and rest my legs on DH while i sleep!!

haha- again i only posted because i couldn't not post!!

God, have to go back out there to get DS1 now, if I'm never heard from again I'll have been blown to somewhere heavenly and luxurious down the road...

Oooh...

Like the scan list. Maybe we should have the due list pasted over from ttc thread too. Would do it but still on phone as no laptop

Hi Ses
good idea... think its hear somewhere but might be out of date. Will add it from the TTC Wagon!

Here it is- wonder if we should remove a few people who are no longer regularly posting? Not sure, Nat/ Ses- what do you think? I dont want to offend but some of these lovely ladies havent been around for ages!

Hi all - just popping in to keep my membership activated (so please don't remove me from the list!)

No more scans for me either so I can't join that list.

Hope everyone is ok - I'm waddling a lot more these days, bump getting bigger, and feeling v. v. tired. When is this second trimester 'blooming' supposed to happen then???

Will try try try to look in more regularly as I miss everyone, and always seem to be behind on the news.

Is this OK? Also don't want to offend anyone, we can always add any one who makes their way back to the wagon on

Hiya Happynappies, was thinking how you were getting on the other day I think people lie through their arses when it comes to the second trimester bloom, either that or I am never destined to bloom!

When does the third trimester start? I can never remember if it 26 weeks or 28, either way, at 27 and a half weeks think I have missed out on the blooming once again!

Also, if anyone knows about Anti-D, can you have a look here for me please. I am really looking for people who know what they are talking about rather than people's own experiences IYKWIM? That sounds worse than I mean it

HI NJ thanks for updating list. I've just been talking to the MW about anti D so will take a look at the thread.

All fine at the MW, heard strong heartbeat which was exciting. She said heartrate today indicated girl but it wasnt very reliable...

Any one got experience of this?

Hi Happynappies!

Glad MW's went well I found that the earlier in the pregnancy, the faster the HB, when I first started using my doppler, HB was around 170-180bpm, then it came down to around 150-160bpm around 20-ish weeks, must admit haven't done it since because I've been getting the movements, but I would put money on it having slowed again since. In fact, I will try it out tonight and let you know!

I think it is one of the old wives tales, some people swear by it, others are more sceptical. There is no reliable evidence of it being true AFAIK

Scan list again, I had my date wrong! its one day earlier for all the difference it makes.

22nd Oct- Glask 12wk
28th Oct- Ses 12wk
4th Nov- Gyo 20wk

Ah, a day makes all the difference!

OOh thanks Nat- we are going to get a doppler so we can listen more often but not for that reason!

Hi ladies,

Sorry I've been awol forever. Still sickified and can't bring myself to post on much else by hyperemesis/MS threads at the moment. Just waiting for that great day when I wake up and am all back to normal! The vomiting has all but slowed to a stop and I only took meds for a week because of side-effects, but still nauseous all day long which sucks and means I can't eat properly.

Glask - how is your sickness now? You still on the meds?

Playing - if you are about was pleased to hear your MS had gone away. Excellent news.

Hope you got some good replies on your anti D thread, Nat. I am RH neg too and must admit it is all a bit confusing.

Anyway, hope you don't mind me adding myself to scan list. I'll try and be a better waggoner soon I promise - just as soon as the sickness goes.

22nd Oct- Glask 12wk
28th Oct- Ses 12wk
4th Nov- Gyo 20wk
21st Nov - Cosmo 20 wk

By the way, are most people planning on doing an antenatal course? I'm not sure if they do free ones around me, so would prob mean paying 130 for NCT....

hi Cosmo- I was wondering about you and when your date was

Glad to hear sickness has stopped even if you feel rubbish still.

FWIW (and I never had bad sickness) I went from still feeling sick in wk 15 to being fine even if I dont eat for a while in week 17. So hopefully things will change for you soon.

Hi Cosmo again
Im planning on doing the NHS and NCT classes, mainly to try and meet some other local mums since we dont know many people around here. Didnt know it was 130 tho!

Gruff- are you doing NCT? there is a Farnham and Aldershot group so we could end up in same class which could be cool!

My MW said classes get booked so Im going to look into dates for just January time.

Hi GYo,

Oh that gives me hope. I am pinning everything on magical week 16/17! Yep, very excited about the 20 week scan. Will be nearer 22 weeks pregnant tho. You don't have very long to wait at all! How exciting
