Morning all,
Congrats Minnie too!!
I have my first 12 week scan tomorrow morning i just hope everything is ok as i've been getting sharp pains every so often it probably doesn't help picking up my 14month old baby.

I'm feeling sick every day this is the 5th week now and i'm tired alot too.

Nemo1977,
Aghhhh can we all come over to yours, We'll bring our own blankets.

MINNIE1 · 23/05/2005 11:22

chocolatefudge, Hope all goes well for you tomor and remember being tired and feeling sick is all good as there are increased hormone level in your body and thats all good.

chocolatefudge · 23/05/2005 11:28

jeans, Minnie?! I wouldn't dare! somehow my legs seem to have got fat as well. wonder how that happened?! Anything I wear has elastic. Last time (the one that didn't work out) I was so so sick I lost weight, looked emaciated and felt awful so this time I am taking advantage of every mealtime
Great news about your sister! how nice you can do this together! mine are yet to begin though they are lovely aunties .
Nemo I am so envious of your day! sometimes I put ds to bed and go myself (7.30 bedtime, aaah!) my dad woke me up at about 8 last week and couldn't understand why I seemed so spacey ... haven't told him yet
chocf I think these kind of stabbing pains are fairly usual, well I've been getting them too anyway

MINNIE1 · 23/05/2005 11:33

I am 8+2 i think, I had a scan at 7wks and i could see the bean and the heartbeat. The doc had my bloods done as well and my hormone is fine. Its nerve racking the first 3 months i think, and you should be all over that tomor. I cannot wait till i reach the 12 mark.

chocolatefudge · 23/05/2005 11:35

I'm not sure if i'm exactly 12 weeks i could be 9 anyway will see tomorrow.

MINNIE1 · 23/05/2005 11:36

ninah,
Its just my waist so far, will have to get new pg pants very soon though and i cannot get them of my sister now, or baby things for that matter

MINNIE1 · 23/05/2005 11:37

chocolatefudge,
i hope it all goes well for you and you have to let us know how you get on. will be thinking of you.

beckymumof3 · 23/05/2005 13:10

I really want some chocolate fudge now. drool.

MINNIE1 · 23/05/2005 15:44

Hope everyone is ok, all is quiet here today.

sweetheart · 23/05/2005 15:58

Hey all, I've got 4.5 days worth of chat to catch up on so I'm gonna go back and read it all in a min.

Just wanted to let you know I had my 12 week scan today and saw the little beans heart beating. We had a Dr and a scanner person and they both said baby is looking on top form. We also had a chat with the consultant who has said we can go back in 2 weeks time for another scan. This is when we lost our last baby and she said she'd rather we went back then spent the next month or so worrying.

Also had to book up lots of other appointments (6 in all) I think they are using me as a guinea pig for every test going - still, it's nice to know they are looking after me so well.

Neucal fold test was 1 in 5500 which is brilliant news too.

Hope everyones well, I'm off to catch up on the gossip now.

sweetheart,
Thats brill news, you have passed the 12 weeks horay.... and is'nt it great the way they want you back. I think that is great health care and peace of mind for you..

Did it drag to get to the 12wks?

sweetheart · 23/05/2005 16:12

I'm very very impressed with my consultant!!!! I said I was going to go along to my mw at 14 weeks to hear the heartbeat with the doppler and she suggested it might be a bit early to pick up which would cause me extra stress and insisted that I go back to the hospital for a visability scan.

She has been brilliant - I feel very lucky to be being taken care of so well. I know alot of women have to go through considerably more heartbreak before their worries are taken seriously and I thank my lucky starts to have such good care.

Getting to 12 weeks has dragged like crazy!!!! I wish today had been a relief - unfortunalty for me I still have another 6 weeks to go before I will feel "safe".

Bonkerz · 23/05/2005 21:24

congrats sweetheart.

Ive had a really bad day today. had booking in with midwife and it all went wrong. After my scan on 13th i was told by EPU that they will inform my GP that i am to be scanned at 10 weeks and that midwife has to book it. Well today midwife rang and said i wont get a 10 week scan and wont get scanned again till 14 weeks. I was devastated but she was unhelpful and said EPU hadnt informed GP. Rang GP who told me there was a letter but he hadnt read it yet!! He opened it and apologised and said he would write to EPU about scan date! I ended up ringing EPU myself (which was closed) and spoke to the auxilliary there who remembered me from last time who has finally booked me in for my 10 week scan. All this took from 11am till 4pm and the whole time i have been sobbing and stressing out. Feel totally drained and am not impressed one bit by the care in my area. My midwife said i have complicated it because i want to have my baby at a hospital in the next county (Leicester hospital is further away than Nuneaton but i am classed as leicester!). When i asked if all my care could be done at nuneaton i was told definately not!!
Am going to try and relax now. Have my scan on 3/6/05.
Am pissed off again cos midwife changed my edd to 30th dec so thats 3 dates now 25+28+30.

expatinscotland · 23/05/2005 21:28

Aw, Bonkerz!

I know w/i two days when this baby was conceived b/c I conceived using Persona.

Can't believe it, but I've already got the heartburn again! Hey, that didn't show up till 3rd trimester last time.

I take it all w/the grain of salt b/c it means baby is still coming along. Yeah, there's a great thought as my latest meal comes up!

Managed a cuppa tea this morning for the first time in weeks. Ah, bliss.

Bonkerz · 23/05/2005 21:30

thats the problem is with the later dates it must have been immaculate conception. DH and i only did it twice and ive allowed for the extra days etc but it still cant be as late as 30th!

expatinscotland · 23/05/2005 21:31

Make sure they know that, Bonkerz! I let everyone know I knew when I conceived b/c I used Persona.
