[HumphreysCorner]

Treats that was a great scan picture! I would be just sitting all day long looking at it!

Never again im i going to complain i dont feel sick.....its just hit me not half hour after i wrote my post!!

Welcome to the newbies and congrats.

Treats-wow, that is a clear pic.

Further moan alert-MIL phoned earlier and never said one word about me being PG. What is wrong with some people???????

HC....do you get on with your MIL??? It does sound really strange, some people really do put a dampener on things!

Yes, I do get on with her when I try very hard. Things were very difficult when DD1 was born Things are better now they have accepted I'm not going to do a runner with DH's millions

Off to get DD1 from school. The girls are staying over at MIL's this weekend. I'm always a touch on edge when they go there, don't know why.

Hi all, just about to drive off to SILs but just got my scan date through so thought I'd pop on. Thought we could add scan dates to the list as it's nice to see when people are due to see their little beans - hope no-one minds.

PS Lovely scan pic Treats and welcome to newbies. Will do a proper catch up after the weekend.

HC....I wonder if our MIL's are Mafia family??? I too get on with her if we pretend to like each other! She is a real Belfast hard woman who runs her family & expects me to jump too...unlike yours, she trys to take over & always told me when she was having DS and if i said it didnt suit....she turned up & lifted him! Things came to a head when i stood up to her, and now we are in Germany things are better lol....

Idream, have a great time, glad you have gotten your scan date through!

Glad you like the pic everyone!

HC - I told my MIL nearly three weeks ago about my pregnancy and I haven't heard from her since. I think she's spoken to DH in that time - I honestly have no idea - but she hasn't called to speak to me or asked DH to put me on when he's spoken to her (if he has). My sister has spoken to her MIL every other day since they announced they were expecting, and she couldn't be more excited about her first grandchild.

She's always been a bit like that though. I find it really hard to engage with her. She mostly ignored me completely until I married DH - now she makes a special effort to speak to me, but it really is an effort for her. Given that my mum will be torn in half with two grandchildren arriving within a fortnight of each other, it would be nice to think that MIL would be there for me, but I have no expectations.......

Forgot to add-MILs are very strange creatures-with dd mine hardly asked at all and inserted coded bitchy comments, thought i was trying to trap her ds etc etc but since she was born we have trouble getting rid of her. This time she keeps phoning up and asking how I am...
Maybe because it is still quite early she is just being cautious? Maybe she'll improve over time?!! I hope so-it's one more stress you really don't need-like me trying to get rid of mine

Sorry to hear so many of you are having such run-ins with the in-laws and other family. Don't know whether to be relieved or sad that none of mine nor DH's family live in England! Plenty of opportunity to be annoying on the phone instead though

Good evening!

A friend has just popped over with her 2 week old girl, had another friend over on wednesday with her 4 week old girl! So so so broody good thing i'm pregnant

Hi all and to the newbies.
That is amazing news spongebrain, just goes to show.

Prisci Im so sorry for your loss, much love.xx

I feel very tired today and as if Im missing out... Its Friday, no wine!!! Im reluctant to stuff chocolate as Im not exercising as much....I have my booking appointment on 18th March, the day after St Patricks so dp is really chuffed at looking after the boys the day after the night before, he he!
hc My mil is a strong character too rules the roost and is adored by her four babies boys. However we get on very well, I now know to take her with a pinch of salt!

MIL was excited over her first grandchild (DD1) so think the novelty has worn off. If I have another girl I think they will assasinate disown me. Actually, don't get me on the subject of PIL as since they bought us a caravan last year they keep turning up where we are staying in their motorhome.

Can't wait to see the MW on Thursday so I can get a scan date. Really achy down there today, think that's OK though.

Apparently DH said MIL asked immediately if it was an accident. I suppose we will get this from alot of people. Spoke to him about the room arrangements dilemma and he said he had already thought about it and will get it sorted once we have had the 20 week scan.

I'm back - have found the new thread.

Prisci - so sorry sweetheart, my thoughts are with you...

I had my scan - IT WAS FAB! Bean with a heartbeat - hurrah and I've gained 2 days! The very nice nurse looked back at my notes and said that last time when I had a M/c at 11 weeks, my little bean was smaller than this one now so I feel like I have passed a big marker. Also said I now had a 96% chance that everything would be ok.

I might almost be ready to put myself on the list!

I'm retching as I type TMI - this seems to go on all day from when I get up to when I go to sleep! I've been interviewing all day today so it has been a bit of an ordeal.

love to everyone

Hullo all,

Just popping in to say hi.

Treats, thank you so much for posting that picture! I am also 8 weeks, and looking at it made me feel quite emotional. Interesting to hear about your MIL too, sounds like jealousy on her part to me. I get on really well with mine, it's just my own mother that drives me crazy.

Went to doctor on Monday to get booked in, he went on and on about how badly organised antenatal care is in our area and how no-one ever talks to each other, and paperwork gets lost all the time and basically frightened the life out of me. He then gave me some forms and said I had to go to the hospital myself, in person, in order to make my own scan appointment! At that point I burst into floods of tears. So he got the receptionist to ring the hospital for me and made me an appt then and there.

Arrgh. According to my doc it's supposed to be about patient control, but I don't want to be in control, I want to be told what to do and where I'm supposed to be and when!

Sorry for the rant, but it's not very encouraging is it. If only I had a spare 20k to go private.....

Hackneybird, that is so wrong! I remember my first and i wouldnt of had a clue what i was supposed to do, if it wasnt for the doctor & midwife i would still be sitting 5 years later, in shock! At least when you see the MW she will take over for you, sounds like your doctor is a lazy bum

As long as you are all happy within your wee family unit, whatever any of the family thinks means nothing. At the end of the day it is their loss.

Have a good weekend everyone!

hackneybird-that is shocking treatment. I hate going to out maternity part of the hospital as it is antenatal on the ground floor, birthing rooms on the first floor and the top floor is family services. The car park is for about 20 cars so you can never find anywhere to park which stresses me out.

Hope you all have a lovely icky free weekend.

9+2

Morning all, Treats thats a fab picture! Imagine how good it will be at 12wks!

Still not told parents, but I'm pretty sure they'll be excited when I do, tho I know my mum is funny when she finds out about other people before 12wks, like its jinxing it so that might be why some of your's aren't jumping through hoops yet? MILs are strange beasts. Mine is just so over the top I can't be arsed with her sometimes. When I was pg with dd, I mentioned something about a cs and she said "oh no, you won't be having one of THOSE" and I said "actually I'd prefer one to dying thanks" Had to have one in the end anyway as I'd been in labour forever and failed to progress, so I think I qualified!

Off to have a bath with dd as she is sat behind me while I type, trying to remove my pjs and chanting "baff baff baff"

Fab scan pic treats, i had a scan at 6 weeks and looked like a dot.....at 8 weeks it much more baby like!

I feel for you all so much with your parents/in laws. Mine are "interesting" - MIL had this huge rant at my mum last summer about me not turning to her with pregnancy worries with either of them because she used to be a midwife (in the 80s I think - the woman went on about kick charts at me). Mum tried to explain that I didn't go to her with them either, I had friends for that . DSis is going to be most annoyed because she will feel that I should have told her sooner and that we have been lying to her. I hate this keeping it secret for so long.

My mate pretty much knows now - she has done all the adding up, looked when I refused tea (I never refuse tea), and gave me a huge grin - appears to be going with understanding that i don't want to tell, so letting me know that she knows without the pressure

DH has taken the short ones out for the morning to give me a break. We have my mate's party tonight and I think he is as worried as me about me staying awake/not throwing up for the entire thing . I have been looking forward to this since the beginning of the year, I hate this fear that I might not get to enjoy it.

I've missed something somewhere HC - what is the room issue?

Hi can you add me to the list pls, ive been avoidin comin in here as I have been unable to get a dr app for the last 2weeks, but I have one on Tue. This is baby number 2 an I have no idea when im due as periods have been really messed up with breastfeeding, but I have a feelin im about 6-7 weeks.

Hello and welcome Sugarkane and congrats too.

The room situation is that my mum and dad said there is no way we can move DD1 into DD2's bedroom so that we can use her room as a nursery. We will give her the option and then we will have to redecoate the spare/computer room which is a shame as it is very pretty and only finished a couple of years ago. DH did say he was only going to do all this after October but I need it sorting before as I need somewhere to put little sleepsuits and clothes. He said he will sort it after the 20 week scan-if we get that far of course.

Love to all.
