Due In Fab Feb 2009 - The Secret Is Out - Third Thread Already

[Singingintherain]

Hi thought I might start a new thread for us all. Hope you like the new title

Feel free to join us.

Sorry, hijack again!
Glad all is looking healthy Tink!

Glad to hear everything is looking good again Tink, have been thinking about you... a scare like that is bound to knock you sideways a little.. look after yourself and let everyone around you give you lots of TLC

So happy for you Tink. You were on my mind (and everyone elses', I'm sure) all day.

phew... so relieved for you tink i understand why it's given you such a scare but just keep reminding yourself that lots of women have totally unexplained, non sinsiter bleeds during the first trimester and have perfectly normal pregnancies.... try not to see it as a sign that anything is going to go wrong this time.

i can't eat in the evenings at all... every time i do i end up spending the rest of the evening trying not to puke. i find i often have to stop eating dinner before i'm actually full as i can sense one more mouthful is going to tip me over the edge into nausea.

at the moment i'm eating breakfast with the kids, maybe nibble on something in the afternoon if i'm not too quesy and then dinner at 6/7 whenever dp gets in and then i can't eat for the evening..... if only i'd been able to diet like this when i wasn't pregnant i'd have been back at my pre dd weight! though if memory serves it not only eases in the next month or so but i start being hungry 24/7 and eating enough for 10 babies

So glad to hear your news Tink

I still look more lardy than bumpy... this weekend my brother said "God, you look like you've been eating too many pies". Love him. It's true. I have been eating too much, just to keep the sickness down. Does anyone else have a point of no return? If I go too long without protein, then that's it, I'm nauseous/pukey for the rest of the day.

Roll on 13 weeks!!!!!!!!! (which starts on saturday, when I will be expecting, nay demanding, to feel fantastic)

I've got my nuchal scan on Friday. Beginning to look forward to it

Thanks for your support all, it's great being here.

I know it's not a sign, but it is a reminder that this isn't going to be easy, they know I won't go to term and last week the doctor I saw said the (nasty lady) doctor from last time shouldn't have said about the progesterone because it won't help me - he is her boss, head of FMT. So not only do they know I won't go to term, they know they can't do anything about it.

Any guesses why we're talking about permanent contraception after this baby? It's funny, I always said I'd stop at two, but when you're actually thinking about making permanent steps it's rather We're debating who should do it. He's actually saying now he will, but what if we split up?

Sorry, that was bit of a ramble!

Mum said to me at the weekend "I was just about to say you look pregnant"! She forgot I was until she thought that I bumped into someone last week and they noticed I was pregnant. Don't think there's much denying it!

have just realised i'm 13 weeks today.

roll on the blooming

Tink probably now is too stressier time to be having that convo anyway hun - Just get this little one as cooked as possible in there and worry about prevention afterwards.

Things are tough of course for you but even though youv'e had a scare its all looking good and there is no reason why you shouldn't go as far as you did with Tink ( or even further right?)

I tried on some shoes this morning that i bought for my wedding and they are too bloody tight! Im going to have to wear flats i think (even kitten heels are looking out of the question) which means im going to look even more short and er, round than usual seriously ... i think im going to end up looking like an orange with arms and legs in that wedding dress - maybe i should be going for black...

Decided not to go out today as its a bit drizzly here - thanks for the heads up about the newspaper two for ones dinky - i think i might take everyone to Longleat this weekend as it seems to be not too expensive and there is quite a bit to see and do - might have been prohibitive when living in Guildford distance wise but now were in Wiltshire not to far at all

OHHHH - ok tell me if this is possible ( and i know it is for some of you smaller ladies! ) but i was laying on my tummy typing the last post and i felt like a flicky sensation right down low just whereabouts they scan you ... could that have been the baby or a muscle spasm? I didnt think they moved enough to be felt ( im nearly 11 weeks) at this stage and also that if your on the larger side its more difficult to feel them move early anyway - awww i'd like to think that was my lo moving though Anyone else felt those type of movements? ( i was on my tummy at the time)

It's something that we've discussed for a long time, we've not talked about it recently.

My pregnancy will be difficult, even if it behaves itself because I will be up and down the hospital, tests and all sorts. I'd forgotten really what is going to happen, or not taken it in, and this has just reminded me. I will probably go around the same time as before, but that means that every BH or ache and pain is going to be stressful and checked out to make sure it's not early labour. I'm not self-pitying (not that anyone has said that) I'm just being very realistic about things. I'm aware of what will happen and acknowledging it.

At this stage your baby is still under your pubic bone, so probably just muscles. Tink kicked the bed from not much further on if I lay on my front, so you will start to notice it more soon.

very possible rosie..... if it felt a bit like a little prod it was probably baby... if it was a bubbling sensation probably just wind i'm afraid

maybe it is maybe it isnt - i didnt think you got wind that far down (in your womb area) but it feels like im being flicked from inside as opposed to prodded so maybe it isnt. I am ALWAYS lying on my front - i think i did right up until 6 months or so with DD3 - but i seem to remember very early movements around 14 weeks feeling like that just did - was probably a fluke and muscle spasms though.

I cant imagine how awful it must be for you though - considering im a nervous wreck at every ache and pain - i cant imagine having to go and get checked out for it though all the time At least you have a realistic and honest expectation of how your pregnancy is going to be and i guess that must help somewhat.

you never know... trust your instincts... if you 'feel' that it was baby it probably was.

so far this baby seems quiter than my other 2.... i'm convinced i felt more movement than this with both of them, especially with ds.

tink..... you never know, mother nature might decide to play a joke on you and leave you pregnant til 42 weeks this time

I shall avoid all crude comments about where you get wind - but it does come out eventually.

I think the fact I don't believe I'm pregnant probably helps me be quite matter of fact about it. But when something happens it becomes real for a moment and I think not again.

Tink glad all is well.

Nadssss- I feel just the same. Generally feel quite hungry but once I've eaten almost have this "might faint" and a little bit nauseous feeling and feel as if my food has filled all the way up to just under my boobs.... I then have to lie down...I remember having this with no 1 but it was much later on. I do find though that smaller portions and little and often seem to work better on the whole.

My scan is at 11am tomorrow morning - needless to say I am terrified......will report back.

Told boss at work yesterday since I figured that whatever happens from here they will know and it is year end so they need to plan for next year - I asked her to keep it to herself only to find one of the other senior colleagues coming to congratulate me ?! I did point out that I'd asked her to keep it to herself and that I still had a scan to go to but she clearly didnt' quite get it did she.....

Exactly! It?s a vicious circle ? I am starving all of the time and then when I eat I feel terrible! I have to learn some self control about portions (i.e. stop piggily matching my 6ft6 DH just because I am preg).

That?s annoying about your boss ? hopefully you will be telling everyone tomorrow anyway. Best of luck with the scan ? I really hope you see your little baby waving at you. I have just bought a fetal heart rate monitor ? just to increase the stress even more for the next 6 months!

Herbgarden....my scan is tomorrow as well at 11.20am....I'm also terrified.....had a dream last night my nuchal measurement was 69cm

Blardy hormones

Don?t worry, I am having the most disturbing dreams too ? sorry if TMI but I am waking soaked in sweat and convincing myself it isn?t sweat (if you know what I mean). Then morning finally comes, I am calm again and I can?t understand why I was feeling so mentally ill in the night. Weird.

LOL littlemissnorty - what are you gestating in there? An elephant?

(I had a horrible horrible dream the other night of giving birth to a monster with 8 tentacle-y legs and oh it was just horrific. Adding to the joy was the fact that this delivery was taking place in a graveyard. What was it you said? Blardy hormones? nnnngggg)

I'm munching my way through bags and bags of ready washed salad at the moment. Picking out all the bits of watercress It seems to keep my tummy thinking "oh good, yes, there is still stuff coming in" without thinking "oh gawd that was too much" and going nauseous.

Tink - glad all went well with your scan.

I had my nuchal scan this afternoon, very relieved to see a little baby bouncing about! They have moved my dates forward by a week so am now 13.5 weeks. Can now convince myself that's why am bigger than I should be!

Evening everyone. Tink I am so glad all is ok and can totally understand why you are feeling so low...

I feel like everyones pg is going at 100 miles an hour and mine is just sat still. I really want to get my 12 week scan sorted and then I will know all is ok. BUt I still have 2 weeks to wait..... errrrrrrr

is anyone else starting to suffer from the later stage stuff yet? my sciatica is getting agonising and last night when i was lying on the couch i was really in pain with my ribs.... felt like my abdomen had run out of room for organs and everything was crammed right up into my ribcage.... which is mad because my uterus can't be big enough to be causing that yet!

i'm getting really excited about my scan on friday, the only other time i've had a scan before 20 weeks was with dd and that was when they were convinced i'd miscarried and just wanted to prove it to me.... it was so nerve wracking up til seeing dd that i never really got to enjoy the looking at baby bit after that, dp and i were just grinning like loons at each other from when she said 'there's definitely a baby in there' onwards. really looking forward to enjoying getting to see baba... and as it's a private scan and not a medical one i reckon we'll be given more of an opportunity to do so than you usually are in hospitals.

don't talk to me about dreams.... last night i dreamt we emigrated to australia on a train and dp forgot the bag with all our wordly possessions and money on it on the train and when he got back on it to get it the doors closed and the train went back home with him and i was stranded with dd in australia with no money, clothes or place to live not sure where ds was come to think of it....... maybe safe at home where we should have been!
