December 2010 any one? Come keep me company

[OnlyWantsOne]

well... this is scary

Thanks everyone, my PIL had the DC last night so DH and I snuggled up on the sofa and watched Mordern Family and Ashes to Ashes...Rock and Roll

Hope the party goes well heading4home, it is DD's 10th birthday in a couple of weeks, I hope I am feeling better by then, she wants to go to Alton Towers waterpark. I will have to buy a new swimming costume.

Also have a big bridezilla type family wedding soon, am concerned about going in my current state incase I'm sick on the bride or something!

congratulations on the heartbeat cher31

Last couple of days I have woken up and thought 'hmmm, I feel a bit ill' and have also felt a bit sick after eating lunch but am still not getting any proper morning sickness. I hope I have avoided it and it doesn't start late, I am 8 +3 I think.

I'm also not getting any extreme tiredness, My husband says I am more annoying in the evenings than I was before!

Also I haven't gained much weight but then I was a bit overweight to start with.

help me ladies!

I'm all booked in now and am 8+5. I know its still early and things could go wrong but hubby is getting on my nerves BIG time!

He wont talk about it and he wont let me tell anyone else either so I am completely isolated. The midwife was nice but seemed really busy and besides I dont really want to talk to her about general pregnancy stuff.

I am a teacher (is anyone else?) so sitting down with my feet up after work isnt and option and I'm getting behind with marking etc which is making me more stressed.

I cant wait til the first scan when I will be allowed to tell people but I could really do with a few people knowing now so they understand why I'm not going out/drinking/doing my work!

Hi Velvetcu I am a teacher too and teach children with challenging behaviour. It is a real risk not telling anyone as their level of aggression/violence can put me at danger which means I am constantly on edge. My DP works in the room next door so it is a relief that I have someone who cares as much as I do. I think you should sit your hubby down and explain your worries as stress is no good for either of you and I read if you are 8 week plus you only have a 3% chance of MC compared to 1% chance at 12 weeks so not much difference. Failing this you could just tell who you want and lie to him he he he!

hello all.

just a quick post, dont have time to say hi individually, this thread moves a bit too quick.

had viability scan yest, all there spot on for dates. 6+4wks. heartbeat was good and strong. edd was changed to 28th but i think i will keep it as 30th for now.

ms is under control a bit more. tesco's diet ginger ale has saved my life!

Hi everyone. So glad DD still has naps, just woke up having had an hour's kip and feeling a lot better for it. Took her to a soft play area earlier and she was going round by herself (she's only 2!) and doing really well. My sister and mum were there too but DD is v independent. I went round with her a bit too and I think she enjoyed having me there as DH is working.

velvetcu - I understand your DH may be concerned but if he doesn't want to talk about things, maybe you could explain you need someone to confide in IRL and maybe just tell someone - close family or friend? In terms of work, again could you have a conversation with your line manager? I'm not a teacher, but I know they will need to do a risk assessment for you etc. Maybe they can do something to ease the workload a tiny bit? And of course come and chat to us as much as you like about any worries you have!

Congrats on scans cher and mumatron - fab news. It could be Cher, that your bean took its time implanting which is why you measure slightly behind? With DD I measured 6 days behind on both scans, even though I pretty much knew to the day when I had conceived. Funnily I went into labour at 6 days 'overdue' according to dates but bang on time according to scans.

mumatron hurrah for the heartbeat.

I have a question. When I went to have my scan at 7 weeks they didn't say anything about the strength of the heartbeat. I did ask but they said it wasn't really important and that all they were looking for was just that there was a heartbeat. Everyone else seems to have been told it's a good strong heartbeat? I have a scan on Wednesday at 9 weeks, should I ask again and can they tell me the beats per minute?

dueling we asked this last night. we were told that at such an early stage (6-7wks) they look to see a hb. they dont measure it but the sonographer told us that sometimes a non viable pg will show a hb and it will be irregular or weak iyswim.

she said that considering my lo had only had a hb for a few days it was lovely and strong.

were you scanned in the epu at uhw? the sonographer there is lovely but not the best at explaining what is what. i dont know if it's because i paid for the scan yest, but the lady was fab. she spent ages showing us everything and had a good look at my ovaries etc aswell. it was nice because the scanner is linked to a big tv on the wall so you can see it really clearly. best £100 i have spent.

fingers crossed i will be going back for a 4d scan at 26 weeks. it will be a treat for myself after going through so much in last 2 years.

Hiya Mumatron, I was scanned in IVF Wales at UWH. The woman who did it is one of the nurses I think, though she said she used to be a midwife. She didn't really explain anything except to say it was 10mm, measured 7 +1 and had a hearbeat - she showed us the flicker.

Ah well, hopefully all will be well on Wednesday.

never been scanned there so dont know what they like. i'm sure they would of seen you sooner if there was any concerns.

i'm sure all will be fine on wed. are you back at ivf wales or the antenatal clinic?

Back at IVF Wales and then I am let go to fend for myself

Because I was waiting for the 7 week scan at the IVF unit I hadn't been to my own GP yet and don't get to see them until next Thursday so I have no idea when my booking appointment will be. Not sure why they have to do another scan at 9 weeks but I suppose it's just so they can be sure? She told me to go ahead and see the GP between the 1st and 2nd scan but they couldn't fitme in until next week.

Hey all

Notso how are you feeling?

We went to look at somne houses this morning, does any one else feel bloody knackered?

I dont want to do anything but lay on the sofa and eat.

dueling i saw me gp when i was 4 wks and was booked in with midwife 2 weeks later. are you in cardiff? if so, when you book in with mw she will give you the 11 week scan date there and then. much better than waiting for one to come through the post.

owo i am shattered aswell. last weekend i didnt get out of bed at all. been shopping today as we are moving in 2 weeks and all i want to do now is sleep. i have to get up and cook now though as i am absolutely starving all the time

mumatron im making DP cook - have given DD a large box of toys to amuse herself (she's 3) and im trying not to fall asleep at my desk - and am trying to work / look for new house.

How many weeks are you?

im only 6+4 but feel like about 6 months lol.

my dc are old enough to entertain themselves thankfully (9+6) put on dr who and i dont hear a peep!

OWO - I am absolutely cream crackered. I always find Saturdays hard after a long week at work and still needing to catch up on sleep.

DH has flown off to the states for a week so I am on my own with DD which is tiring. I think I'm going to end up going to bed when she does just to cope!

Feeling for you Notso - that sounds awful. I just feel constantly queasy and that's bad enough.

So sorry about your news firsttimer

Morning all how are you all?

Forgot to say, after bleeding etc and being sent to hosp by my MW when I was meant to have my booking in appt, my booking in aapt will now be next Saturday - my MW sent me a text (she seems very cool) to arrange it, which is cool, because if I find some one to have DD for a couple of hours, my DP can come (hand holding etc)

Whats the weather like with everyone, its raining here (eastanglia)

OWO xx

Glad to hear about all the good scans! That's what we like to hear.

Mine is on tuesday, and I'm trying to keep chilled about everything. Things seem to have slowed down to occasional beige smears and the cramping is a lot better too - none yesterday at all. TBH, cramping seems to be normal for me in early pregnancy and I can't tell if it's been more intense since I had spotting or not.

Can't work out if my preg symptoms are as strong - I am exhausted and spend most of yesterday on the sofa! (but I was also dog-tired just before I miscarried before) Boobs are getting larger though, I think. Oh, who knows? Trying not to get attached to the idea of this pregnancy until I get a good scan result.

I haven't even seen my GP formally (had to see one to get the scan) - was meant to see her on tuesday, but won't make that now because of scan. So I hope it won't mean that I don't get a dating scan until 14 weeks or something crazy.

Morning ladies

I'm 10 weeks today and can't even bear having my dressing gown tied round my waist - what on earth am I going to wear to work for the next two weeks? Is it too soon to invest in maternity tights?

Reshape, will be thinking of you - it's amazing how slowly time seems to be passing, so I hope Tuesday comes quickly for you and brings good news.

Off to mime drinking at a rainy BBQ now.

hello all,

it is so reassuring to come on here and hear about all your symptoms.
I am absolutely shattered and DH doesn't seem to understand why! It's all a bit frustrating, especially as I am normally so full of energy, love getting up early, going running, etc. Now, it seems exhausting simply moving from bed to sofa - hope this phase doesn't last too long.
don't want to moan as i am so excited about the pregnancy, but i have also lost my apetite for everything but really plain, simple foods - i haven't had a proper meal for days and am just eating cereal, porridge, beans on toast, etc.

Hello everyone, sickness is still bad,
I have been having huge cravings for meat, I made Dh take me to a carvery yesterday, all I had was a slice of Turkey, a slice of beef, gravy and a roast potato, it was yum though and I managed to keep it down woo hoo.

Hi everyone. I haven't been on here much the past few days due to a lovely migraine. I have obviously come to take my triptan medicine for granted and forgotten how incredibly miserable a migraine is without medicine. Have had a headache since Friday afternoon, and been throwing up today.

Haven't yet worked out how to call in sick tomorrow without confessing the pregnancy.

Now, aren't I just a cheery ray of sunshine. moan moan moan. me me me...

Anyway, hope everyone else is having a nice weekend.

Persnickety poor you migraine are the worst.
I am a moaning minnie at the moment, just cried because I can't cook tea without being sick, and I asked Dh to buy a ham from the supermarket and he bought two packets of ham.

haha notso i'm sure they are trying their best but they never get it right!!

we told our best friend couple last night - it makes things sooo much easier for me. They were beginning to wonder why I hadnt been out or been over and now they understand they are working with me to create the smokescreen for everyone else for the next three weeks.

My sister gave birth 2 weeks ago so the family are all on at me as to whether im broody yet - i just keep telling them im too interested in going on holiday to have kids so it is going to be a huge shock to them!

i really would like to listen for a hearbeat soon but i dont think i get anything til the dating scan :-( does anyone have a doppler at home?

hope everyone is well (as can be)
