[MINNIE1]

I have done it,

Wishing us all the very best, Some of us have reached the 12wks (well done to all of you) and for all the rest who have to reach the 12wks (including me) we'll get there just stay chatting and time will fly.

A little baby dust for a healthy pregnancy..

wellies I don't own any!!!

Glad to hear I don't have to wear a hat!!! We're doing the day and evening but we're not going to watch the rowing (well I hope not anyway)

So if we're going to both should I make sure I've got something really posh on for the evening??? Sorry, I've never been before and don't want to look out of place!!!

well I have only ever been for the evening and the first time I wore a cocktail dress but other pple were in long. Felt a lot comfier 'mentally' next time in long - but physically v cold and damp hence the welly advice! I'd imagine a longish flowing dress would take you through day and evening but I will check with the group we go with as they are based in Henley and will know more about daywear than I do, esp I will check on the hat issue, I haven't noticed pple in hats in the evening but maybe they take them off .. I will find out all I can for you. The grass can get damp and slidy - it seems to rain a lot! - so I'd err on the side of flattish (but pretty) shoes in the case of us preggy ladies! I wouldn't worry too much about fitting in, there are conservative older ladies and young things in cling, the whole range really! there's a great atmosphere, artworks, music, fireworks, the main thing is to enjoy it. Looking forward to it now! maybe it will even be sunny

Morning Ladies,

george32,
Congrads on your scan, im 10wks tomor (i think) but hope the scan should shed a little light on that.. O i can wait!!

Bonkerz,
How did your scan go??

How is everyone today?
All is fine with me (for a change)
At 4 months would a first time pregnancy belly be big?? I have my SIL wedding and i would be about 4 months then so just wondering would i be showing???

George - Just popped over to say I am so glad that everything is going so well for you. Take care and look after that little wiggler.

DQ/Nemo - Hope everything is well with both of you.

ninah, thanks for the info. I'm crap at this posh stuff!!!

Minnie, as this is your 1st I wouldn't expect you to have a very big bump at 4 months - I didn't show until about 6 months with my dd.

I've just phoned to hospital to put off my scan on Monday. It's my dd's birthday on Tuesday and the thought of getting bad news the day before her birthday was making me really upset. I just can't spoil her special day so I decided to try for a different appointment.

I'm going on Thursday now instead - which is our wedding anniversary!! Oh well, beggers can't be choosers!!!

Sh,its long but clingy,it is lovely though my fav by far,can you do a picture of you?

have no idea how to do a picture but if it's clingy it's probably a no go as these things always seems to make my arse look 4 sizes bigger than it is!!!

Thanks for the offer though - your a gem!!!

woah today is dragging for me!
bonkerz how was your scan?????? all well i hope.
got bargain of some maternity clothes (bottom halves) from ebay today..........and they are all too big.lol. i have no doubt i will indeed fit them at some point but its a relief to know i'm not so huge after all.............feel it tho!
heartbeat was alittle (tiny) bit higher today. hope this means belly bean is growing too.
half term is VERY long in our house.......... 3cheers to the big ones all being back at school on monday!

I can still send it if you want sh....Dq glad you feel a bit better today...bonkers how are you?And all the other mums to be in dec xx

Anyone had any news from Bonkerz??

Thanks S/H,
Will have to leave the shopping until i come near the time.

11 days till scan and counting!!!

Scan was greta. i have a 9+5 baby wriggling around waving its arms and legs all over the place. Sobbed and sobbed, cant quite believe al is so good. Baby smaller than my dates by 4 days but changed edd to 29th dec! Got some lovely pics and have told ds and dsd and they are chuffed! Been discharged from EPU and got next scan on 24th June. Now im gonna look for these dopplars

OK have ordered my doppler!!

Bonkerz that is fantastic news. I am so pleased for you What great news that we are all getting there. Just so lovely to hear good news.

If you are due the 29th Dec you are the same as me which makes you 10+1 today (makes the 12 week mark seem a lot closer!)

O thats great news, Its great to see the little bubs. O i cant wait till my next one..

good for you bonkerz!! i'm so glad it went well.
told you it was our turn for good things!
hope you get on well with doppler, give me a shout if you get stuck
I have my scan monday, and really cant wait to see a baby shaped baby iykwim!!

george - that is lovely news. am so thrilled for you. for a minute there i thought you were going to tell us it was twins, LOL!

dqueen - wishing you all the best for your next scan and seeing your beanie transforming from cute little cashew nut to beautiful bubba shape.

I found an Indian shop across the street selling loose tops and trousers, kaftans and tunics for dead cheap. OMG! I spent £20 and came out w/two pairs of drawstring trousers, two kaftans and a tunic. Bring on the bump.

oooooooooh expat! thats not fair!!! i want some!!

They're comfy and cool. They had cool jewellry, too, but I don't really need anymore jewellry.

exp I'm

oh and swht if you are a size 12 you CAN'T have a big bum. It isn't possible!
whatever's a doppler?

Yes, I got a dopplar too. Been listening to twins heartbeats every night - one is low down on the right and one is low down on the left. Also gives me the heartrates too which I'm recording a a little book that comes with it.

Def. reccomended.

Nearly 14 weeks now!

14wks! wow.I'm
ninah a doppler is the thing midwives/drs use to listen in to the heartbeat. you can hire or buy them yourself too.
did/does anyone watch the desperate midwives last night (also on mondays i believe) i loved it! cant wait to get to that moment again!!

Ooooh me too, 14 weeks already! . Congratulations G'oldie. Must be amazing hearing 2 heartbeats.
I might go & sit on the Jan thread so I'm ahead of everyone rather than being one of the last over here!!
Hoping time speeds up a little bit now I've relaxed somewhat.

Watched Desperate Housewives religeously until about 3 wks ago but the girls in the office have filled me in on all the story. Didn't know it was repeated on Monday so will have to prop my eyes open with matchsticks to watch it. Can't tear me away from Big Brother though. Can't stand any of the people in there but still have to watch it!! Drives DP mad.

hi all
been a bit of abitter sweet day today. went to see my friend and used her doppler and found heartbeat. I am 12wks today so felt on top of the world. However when i left my friend my mum phoned and i went to meet her at the retail park, went to loos in m+s to find i am spotting a tiny bit..hardly noticable unless u were looking iykwim...i think its prob cos ive over done it today as cos thought pg was over i was just being soft today. i am feeling ok in sense that i deffo heard heartbeat and so did my friend and it was around 160...just feel like someone is laughing at me like ha ha u thought u were ok type of thing. no point going to epuy today as they dont do scans over weekend..so will keep an eye on it and see form there.

by the way george thanks for ur message on ther thread ..lol
