July Babies - Follow on from Pukey Tums and Burpy Bums

Hey Ladies we have reached the big 1000 so I thought another thread needed to be started

Good luck Tish!

Well, my second trimester starts today and I can't wait for Thursday's scan...

Thanks for the birthday wishes wicked. A successful first 12 weeks is a pretty great gift (as is the full body massage my DH is paying for!)

Morning all!

Baah... Just when I thought it was safe to crawl out of the bathroom, MS is back again. It keeps luring me into false hope by disappearing for a few days, then just when I relax and stop carrying endless supplies of emergency rations around, it comes back!

Still, at least I'm getting breaks and they seem to be getting a day or two longer each time. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that in the next week or two the MS will go and stay gone. I really don't want to keep it for the next six months!

Thanks for all the suggestions for maternity clothes. I've got a few more ideas of places to go and investigate now. I want to try some clothes first before I order anything online though, partially because I don't know which style of maternity trousers I prefer (I generally can't stand trousers that sit below my waist) and mostly since I think I've gained weight that isn't baby related...so might have gone up a size.

I have some advantages though in that being of a both a tomboyish and geeky nature, I actually couldn't care less whether or not I look frumpy or unattractive in the maternity clothes. I just want them to be comfortable and not fall off me. I'm quite content to be a walking fashion disaster - everyone kinda expects it of me anyway!!

Yep, I have no pride or shame.

hey curly yay for 2nd trimester, mine was saturday and its a great feeling getting here. You looking forward to your scan? I can't wait

Looking forward to hearing from tish too. How was your scan heated? All good i hope.

Hey gracie thanks again for the info re my niece, the gp says its a defo mc but she has to go back in 2weeks to see if her levels have gone down as they are still high. Good news is they are checking her for polycydtic ovaries and her kidneys as she keeps getting urine infections. Thanks again. How you feeling? Told you i shouldnt have said ms is away, very sick today aarrgghh lol

Hows everyone else feeling? Hows work for those of you who are back? xxx

Hi everyone, especially stac14, and anyone having a scan soon.

Having geared myself for the worst, dh & I were astonished to see wriggly, arm waving baby on the scan. Had a nuchal scan which was so much more detailed than the ones we had with first two dcs (who were bean blobs on a screen). Was quite astonishing to see how developed he/she is at nearly 13 weeks. Was very moved. Dh just bubbling to tell everyone.

Am off to see the GP this afternoon to rule out infection being the cause of the (sorry tmi alert) discharge and pain.

But baby is still here!!!

dying to hear the news of ur scan tish!
and its urs 2moro stac if im right?
ah well GREAT news this side today...........not. tmi alert for any1 squemish...................i have a new friend........a big pile hanging out of my bum iv heard people have got them while pregnant but not this bloody early! what the hell am i supposed to do?!
sorry if this sets off any1's sickness but really dunno what to do!

Hooray for a wriggling baby heated!
I keep telling people I'm expecting even though my scan's not til Monday - it's just when you feel like death warmed up, the last thing you want to hear is 'oh yes, I had that last week' oh did you now...
Good luck tish!
Oh and spirael my fave maternity tops with dd were from Dorothy Perkins, and jeans from Next. I found Next tops were far too short by about 7.5mths but dotty p lasted the full 42 wks.

yay heated thats fab news can't wait for tomorrow to make sure alls well. So happy for you

kkfairy yeah mine is tomorrow. Had piles with dp but it was after birth. I know this sounds gross but put an ice cube on it, it works if not a cream called anusol may need to check with pharmacist but assume its ok as its external use.
chulita how far on are you? It drives me mad when people give you thier pregnancy memories, as if your own arent enough lol

Not long off the phone with dp, his work are saying he cant have his hols, booked them two weeks ago now apparantly they need him in. Which would mean he wont be at the scan, he has went to see the big manager so hoping something gets sorted. Feckers, excuse ,my language lol xxx

I'm 11+2 but can't keep it to myself
DH can't be at my scan either which has really pissed me off frickers!

Well hello beautiful people of MN! The scan went brilliantly,saw little baby tishtosh on screen, heart beating away. Had to go to the loo half way through as it was so full it was squashing the baby up and the sonographer couldnt work out how far gone i am. They have put me back by 4 days so im due July 18th now if whoever is in charge of the list could change that Ive got 3 scan pics which we will show family members this weekend who still dont know i.e my mum.

I just cant stop looking at the pics its so amazing I have a beautiful baby girl/boy in there! We saw its spine and both arms and legs and little nose. Our scanner isnt set up yet but when DP gets home tonight he can sort it out so ill put a scan pic on later today.

Hello all - am back - you prob all forgotten me... but an update - have now had my 12 week scan

Am totally over excited about having had it - was so cool... heard heartbeat and saw it moving around

just to remind people - I had an MC last time I was pregnant (which was the frirst time i had ever been pregnant) so this is huge milestone and have been gibbering wreck up until I saw all was ok on scan!

Got to tell boss when she back on Mon...

Oh yes - have put pic on profile

ow wow iggy, it's got a proper nose and forehead and everything! Impressed!

Well, I have this afternoon had a phonecall from the midwife to make an entirely different appointment for booking in - confused now.

So I have the consultant and scan and stuff on thurs (1-2 hours), and midwife on the 23rd. I thought they were all the same appointment

oh well...

And tish well done to you too - can't wait to see the pics!

sorry about the piles KK and on the subject of Maternity clothes, I vote the over bump jeans by Red Herring at Debenhams. I'm loving mine

iggy that's such a good photo!
cc I've got the scan on Monday and booking in on Wednesday but I'm supposed to take my notes with me to the scan and I don't get them til my booking appt loving the organisation!

yay tishtoshkew you would be fine hun, was it fab?

iggy the pic is gorg proper little baby cant wait to get mine

chulita dp has managed to swing it so he got the afternoon off so he will be there thank goodness. We told a few people earlier in the pregnancy but more so as we had the dates mixed up. My friends cant wait for the scan so they can tell people, you would think it was then lol

I wish it was tomorrow night so my scan would be done, mixture of nerves and excitement lol xxx

Dear MS sufferers - I think I have the cure!!!

IT's not permanent, but when taken (on top of promethazine from GP) I think I have found something which significantly decreases nausea. They are pricey, but preggie pop drops are definitely worth it.

If they can hold my MS off for a bit they might be even more effective for those with just general nausea. Worth a try.

disclaimer: I am also wearing seabands, taking promethazine 4 times daily and sleeping loads. It may not be just the pop drops that are helping

Thanks stac it really was fab! We're just about to put the pic up,will let u know when its ready.

brill news tishtosh! So pleased!

Pic is up on my profile now

great pic tish. I've even had a guess as to what it is...

oooh do tell curlycasper!

Lovely lovely pic tishtosh! Congratulations!

Great news Tish! So pleased for you! Haven't been on the thread for ages. Can't wait for my scan next Wednesday! Hopefully everything will go well.

We've just been to Toys'R'Us and both wondering if we're ust too keen and planning too early. We haven't bought anyhting yet, just looking around and getting used to te fact that we'll become parents and it's going to be such a huge change. We're both really pleased but I think it will only sink in when we see the baby next week at the scan!!!!

Has anyone started buying stuff yet? Need to start thinking about maternity clothes as starting to show! Got scared in Mamas and Papas earlier looking at swimsuits...is my bum really going to get THAT big! They looked like Bridget Jones grandma pants!

your pic is fab tish so clear, congrats hun xx
