LOL @ Ninahs pants!!!
Hope you got on OK at the docs

I hope all goes well at your scan tomorrow Ebbie and I hope you get some more luck with getting yours brought forward soon Nemo.

Nothing very exciting to report from my end. Sore boobs, back to just nauseous rather than really feeling sick & thats about it!! I'm willing next Thursday on & praying for good news.

Becky - plans for the birth....already!!!!! Not a chance.

dramaqueen72 · 05/05/2005 18:59

evening ladies sickness tablet worked fairly well today, tho worn off and I dont want to take anymore otday.........ninah, never mind your knickers; the only jeans that i can still fasten are in the washing machine as we speak, and I am about to go out and vote in a pair I cant do up!!! hope no-one notices....
scan in the morning, abit nervous now but suspect when i get there i will be REALLY nervous, shaking the lot, was last time its the memory of the 'bad' scan that make me like that.
becky- I'm with you on doing all the things i have not done before this 'last' pg. and plans for the birth , same as last birth i think, -no meds, least intervention poss and in the midwife unit rather than the labour ward worked for me before. oh and mass flowers/gifts for me/christmas dinner after too.......
please wish me luck for the scan tomorrow guys.

george32 · 05/05/2005 19:05

DQ, wishing you all the luck in the world for tomorrow. I'm sure it will be fine, you have been so ill you must be (isn't it a really positive sign??)
Will be thinking of you
xx

yellowbear · 05/05/2005 21:13

Hi DQ, wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow .

I had a scan today & saw the heartbeat , it was such a relief! Still worrying a bit though as last time baby died between scan at 6 weeks & one at 9 weeks, got another booked for next week though so trying to stay positive.

Nemo1977 · 05/05/2005 21:15

DQ loads of luck for tommorow hun
am sure everything will be fab

beckymumof3 · 05/05/2005 21:51

Good luck with the scan tomorrow, hope all is well - Nemo, I suggest getting on the phone tomorrow and not getting off til you have appt to see mw/scan or whatever it is that would set your mind at ease. Someone mentioned phoning early pregnancy unit direct if no joy?

george32 · 06/05/2005 08:30

Hi Yellowbear. When did you sneak on here?? Fantastic news about your scan. What due date are you?

Good luck for your scan today DQ

Nemo, get on the phone now!!!!

Big pains in my tummy last night (nearly made me cry!!). Think it is just my chronic constipation causing me pain - anyone else having these problems? Or anyone got any tips on what I can take for it?

dramaqueen72 · 06/05/2005 08:38

thanks ladies, just about to set off, -nervous!
george, try grapes, they seem to, you know, 'rush thro' most people.
will check in when i get home and let you know how it was. and youre quite right, george, if i'm THIs sick and its still bad news I'm sueing someone!!

sweetheart · 06/05/2005 08:40

Morning - well the insensative men in my office have spread their horrible cold germs and I am feeling utterly crap!!!! I'm hoping to be sent home once everyone else gets in the office as I'm all bunged up and can't take anything for it bloody men!!!!!

Had a bit of a run in with my midwife over the doppler the other day. I enquired to see if there was any risks involved with using the frequency ones.
She told me I would make my worrying worse by using it - if I couldn't find the heartbeat etc etc - and that I was at risk of becomming obsessed and neurotic!!!
Well she didn't actually say those exact words but thats what she implied.

So anyway, now I'm not sure wether to get one or not!?!?!?!

Hope everyone else is having a better day!!

Go home and rest Sweetheart!!!

Good luck you guys for your scans. Try finding out whether the EPU in your areas have walk in days. At Kings College its a Monday, no appointment needed and they will see you! Its worth a try.

Was told that sickness is a good sign as it is caused by high levels of pg hormone. That doesn't mean to say that not having any sickness is bad, the girl in my office here hasn't had a single bit of sickness and is now around 13 weeks without any problems at all. It affects people differently, I've always had problems with high hormone levels so I was always going to be in for it.

Is anyone else feeling extreamly depressed? I'm sick of being sick and feeling the way I do, had loads of tears last night with hubby, have had enough and begining to think this was all a bad idea, which is a really bad thing to say as its all I've ever wanted. Woke up with a stye on my eye this morning, am generally feeling an utter wreck! Am Constantly tearful and tired of these rock hard boobs!!!

Sorry guys, have been trying to be happy. I feel really bad moaning when you guys have got all your scan worries on your minds. I feel I just want it to go away now ~ is this normal?

MINNIE1 · 06/05/2005 09:12

best of luck to those having scans

yellowbear,
You must be chuffed to have seen the heartbeat,

sweetheart,
I dont think i would use one but i know if i was worried i would be kicking myself that i didnt. Well what i am trying to say is (pg brain working)get one if you want for peace of mind..
Hope you get to go home and rest up i would love that right now, not that i am busy or anything but bed is more on the menu for me..

ninah,
lol about the pants, we all have a pair of them.. I seem to wear the more now as there bigger and more cosy.. better be no bus's planning to knock me down!!!

ebbie22 · 06/05/2005 09:15

Dont go away and im sure its normal to be feeling like you do....
I hope by the time you read it dq that you are beaming from ear to ear......
Sweetheart are you allowed home yet?
Im going to phone up to hopefully get my scan this mornin xxx

MINNIE1 · 06/05/2005 09:23

kangel,

ninah · 06/05/2005 10:07

feeling big fat greasy and boohoo-ish
seeing doc made it all seem real tho there's nothing to do yet, they do the blood/scanning stuff at about 12 weeks here
went in just after my boss! she was doing her best to find out what I was there for saying 'oh', we're such an unhealthy lot, aren't we?' felt like retorting, bet you haven't got what I've got! a year's mat leave !! [grin}

ninah · 06/05/2005 10:08

MINNIE1 · 06/05/2005 11:39

As much as i moan i would never change it one little bit.. How are you doing? Good to hear you have the m/w on tuesday.

Nemo1977 · 06/05/2005 11:48
