SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 10:36

Is anyone from the North of London? Do you know of any Pregnancy Yoga classes? I feel quite sick this week... but its like a lot of you ladies out there it feels good to have symptoms cos thenb I know everythings ok! had a MMC in May so I am so frightened.. I wish we could have a scan every 2 weeks just for peace of mind!

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 10:43

SweetBroody - I know of 2 places in St Albans that do pregnancy yoga / pilates if that helps ?

I'm the worlds worst worrier too I think it is only natural though.

OP posts:
SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 11:14

Hmmm but I wish I could stop! i'm hoping mediation/yoga or something will help... Just feel rubbish at the moment - still trying to recover from a chest infection that I've had for 2 weeks! Not allowed antibiotics tho! I live in Barnet... :S and not driving at the moment St Albans might be just a little far!

SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 11:15

And the WIND! is blowing me away.. I wish that embarressment would stop!

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 11:16

this lot are in Harrow and Enfield aswell ..

OP posts:
Jools1 · 21/10/2008 11:17

They do yoga in St Albans, so presumably at their other locations - worth a try ?

OP posts:
SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 11:17

Harrow would be perfect.. my parents live there be aq good excuse to see them as well.. thank you so much! :D HAve you told people about your pregnancy yet? My mum doesnt want me to tell anyone at ALL but I am quite excited!

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 11:19

Or is this any better ?

OP posts:
frazzledoldbag34 · 21/10/2008 11:44

Well done Jools for setting up the new thread!

SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 11:45

Thank you soooo much! Your a gem....

SpangleMaker · 21/10/2008 11:46

Hi all! Thanks Jools for the emergency new thread

Just a quick one as supposed to be working. Was it LoobyLou asking about Downs etc risk in mid/late 30's?

I think it was a little out of order for your midwife to say to expect to be high risk (generally accepted to be a higher risk than 1:250). It is perfectly possible to be older and come out low risk - I'm 37 (will be 38 by due date) and have a risk of 1:7100. It's true that background risk (ie age related risk) is used as a factor in calculations, so for the same blood/nuchal results my risk will still be higher than someone aged 30. But if the nuchal measurement is good, there is a nasal bone, and the blood results are good also, the risk will still come out as low.

She may have been trying to prepare you for the fact that the risk does go up dramatically with age, but she should have also said it can come down dramatically when your particular results are taken into account.

HTH

bantam73 · 21/10/2008 11:48

Everyone knows we are expecting now. Most people have known for a while due to my large belly size.
Since I heard it's heart beat yesterday, we are 12wks and our nearly 3 year old has been telling me to stop eating cos I'm getting TOO FAT [her words]. We have told her that there's a baby in mummy's tummy. She promptly told me that the baby is hungry and needs to pop out to have some mummy's milk.

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 11:56

I'm still debating whether to have a private nuchal scan or not - guess I'd better get it booked up soon though if I'm going to do it. They say the optimum time is between 12 and 13 weeks.

aquababe · 21/10/2008 11:59

Hey just signing on this new thread

Frogthistle so sorry to hear your news. I hope you are getting plenty of support. take time to grieve and be kind to yourself. Thinking of you

dds got a fever and I feel like poo with this cold, no sleep and still got ms

12.5 weeks 6 days to next scan

SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 11:59

I think I just look fat.. can anyone help with my dates please.. If the scan said 6.5 weeks is that gestation and not LMP? my last period was 15th August but the doc said my due date is 29th May? I am baffled as to how pregnant I am.. I think 8.5 weeks Gestation and 9.5weeksLMP?

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 12:06

Sweetbroody - I've had no scans yet (first one in 3 weeks ) but I am due on May 29th but my LMP was Aug 21st. That is on a 29 day cycle - are yours normally longer ?

If you try this link, you can enter your LMP date and your average cycle length - may help ?

OP posts:
SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 12:14

I had some bleeding.... So I had an early scan... How pregnant do you say you are?

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 12:14

Hi - I think 8weeks, 4 days

OP posts:
SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 12:44

ME TOO! :D thats so weird

SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 12:47

Thats according to my scan though.... :D so I think it doesnt include the 2 weeks in between :S if you know what I mean. I think it calculates the pregnancy in terms of 38 weeks and not 40 :S

SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 12:50

Jools have you got a bump yet?

Momino · 21/10/2008 12:54

Hi all, can't believe how big the last thread was!

All fine today, I hope.

I felt really nauseous over the weekend, like constant motion sickness. Was so irritable as well.

Also, very off sex/affection and want to push poor DH away even if he just wants a kiss or cuddle. I feel really mean but am sad I don't feel affectionate. Anyone else this way?

I wish my pregnancy hormones were the other way round.... but not so. sigh. Poor DH.

Momino · 21/10/2008 12:58

Jools, you going to go for the scan?

I decided against the nuchal one as I know i would worry about it so much. At my age (39) I know I'm high risk anyway so will wait for the 20 week anomoly scan to get any assessment.

About bumps, mine is definitely protruding though just looks/feels like bloatedness, especially by the end of the day. Am about 12 weeks, I think. Will find out at dating scan Thu.

SweetBROODY · 21/10/2008 12:58

I've been feeling sicky and he really stinks to me! even if he has just had a shower... I do feel sick all the time though and sleepy.... apart from at night when I cant sleep.. I keep worrying that somethings wrong as well :S but thats probably paranoia..
