DQ,

I'm so pleased your scan went well and that you feel you can finally relax.

I know I shouldn't wish time away but I can't wait until the middle of July is here.

Exams - finished
College - finished
Heap of birthdays, christenings, weddings etc - finished
PLUS I will have had my special London scan to make sure this bean has a healthy heart.

And by the 20th July I will have even had my 20 week scan. Ahhhhhh I can't wait

Hello All,

Haven;t posted for a couple of weeks but pleased to see so many of you have had good scans.

DQ - so pleased your scan went well. it makes such a difference to be able to relax a little.

Bonkerz - don't worry at all about not hearing a heart beat at this stage. I listed in at 11 plus abit (with the MW) and heard nothing but rather unpleasant squelching noises that I'm sure had more to do with the curry I ate the evening before thatthe placenta. But, I had my 12wk scan on Thursday and all was well!!! Hurraaahhhhh. Feels so good after 3 mcs. Just need to get past the 16 week mark and I will really be feeling fab. Were you on the blighted due August 05 thread? Can't remember whether I know you from that thread or another one.

Just to update my stats - do we do it here or what - not sure how that one works - I am due now on 11th December which makes me 13+1 I think.

Sweetheart - can't believe you are 20 weeks in July! You must be one of the first ones due 1n Dec.

xxxxxx

Bonkerz · 06/06/2005 18:01

Chickpea, yes i was on the due in aug thread, so many of us now having better luck!!

Am gonna talk to dh and see if we can find a heartbeat later but i have promised my self im not gonna stress about it and if none later will try again next week. DS told his teacher today about the baby and she was over the moon cos she knew i had a mc in aug! Have started planning my maternity leave, being self employed makes it harder!!

Nemo i would highly recommend the sleep easy essence from avent that i got from boots, it helps me sleep and eases the ms.

Nemo1977 · 06/06/2005 20:09

im good now morning sickness eased off last week.Just the constant exhaustion at the min..lol Am going to see midwife in the morning and hoping to get her to sort me out a scan. Do you have a scan/have had one? I had one at 8wks but hospital now want me to wait until 20 wks which i dont want to do as my last mc was amissed mc at 9wks in dec.

truckerkaz · 06/06/2005 20:12

i bet thats worrying you then! yes ive not long had a scan, last week. i was 11+5. next one at 24 wks so wont know for a while yet if its a girl or boy

Nemo1977 · 06/06/2005 20:14

r u going to find out then? WE will find out but I feel that im having a boy again.

truckerkaz · 06/06/2005 20:14

how long was you in labour with your first? as you can half the time for the second baby

Nemo1977 · 06/06/2005 20:15

with ds i was induced but labour was only 90mins..so 45mins will do me

truckerkaz · 06/06/2005 20:15

yes, the 20 wk scan usually picks up what sex it is so 24 should be good

truckerkaz · 06/06/2005 20:16

Bonkerz · 06/06/2005 20:49

Made the mistake of taking the Sea Bands off last night - they chaffe like all hell and can hurt after a while. MAJOR sickness. Yuk.

Scan on the 15th. Should be a little over 13 weeks.

I need new bras already.

sweetheart · 07/06/2005 09:26

Bonkerz I'm so glad you found the heartbeat. Do remember that you can pick up the sound of your own heartbeat in your belly too. The two are pretty distinctive from each other thuogh

Having a few panic's in this corner - I'm just dreading going to the hospital on Thursday incase I get bad news. Now would just be the worst time to get it as I have dd's birthday party on Saturday and my two final exams next week which I really need to be able to concentrate on.
Keep feeling my uterus and think it has got smaller but I'm not sure if it's just coz it's moved higher into my belly - when does it do this - someone did say the other day but I can't remember.

Anyway, just another morning of irrational fear hear in the Sweetheart corner!!!!
Hope everyone else is well and welcome to Truckerkaz - wow 5 babies - your brave

Oh p.s. I've also updated the stats!!!!
