Stats thread

Are you having to pay for a nuchal scan too then mumatron?

No news, much the same as before really, no cramps, a little red spotting/very light bleeding. Scan tomorrow at 1pm. Thank you everyone for kind thoughts and for thinking of me.

Has anyone else's lower abdomen gone really hard?

My little pot belly is still there but lower down it's such a strange sensation. i'm finding this whole experience really weird, I genuinely had no clue about pregnancy. Told some people now at work and everyone has been really nice, another girl in my company is 19 weeks but has had no symptoms - so unfair

Have my first NHS scan tomorrow morning, very excited to see the twins again. think I am 11+3 tomorrow!

Claire Still thinking of you, best wishes for tomorrow!

Lucypeanut - yep, I have a definite hard bump under my pot belly!

Anyone else feeling really ill, without having HG? I'm not throwing up much atm but I'm almost constantly nauseous, tired and now I'm getting faint and headachey as well! I think I'm getting a wee bit dehydrated in this weather, but if I drink too much in one go, I puke so I'm not sure how to get more fluids in! So fed up of feeling rotten all the time.

Hello all, hope you're all ok.

Had my dating/ nuchal scan this morning (NHS) and everything is fine . The sonographer had a bit of trouble firstly because of "bowel gas" and then the baby not being in the right position for her to take the measurements. She sent me out twice to walk around/go up and down stairs, and then got me to bounce my bum on the couch before she was finally able to take the measurements.

I can now take the tags off the maternity jeans I bought in excitement earlier in the week .

japhrimel - if you feel you need to get some more fluids in then get a bit pint / bottle of water and ajust sip it through a straw over a period of time, then kep topping it up. Or try some home made ice lollies which are just juice and water - I found the ice cold sensation helped ease my nausea a bit and it will keep you a bit more hydrated. I too felt grotty, constantly tired, nauseuos all day unless I was eating and even then it only eased off a bit. I was also a bir un down - snuffly / coldsore that sort of thing. But am now 13 wks and its all getting better - slowly but surely. Hope you are getting better soon.

Claire - perhaps you just have some low level / light bleeding due to your uterus shape and the blood was building up behind a clot that came away and then you felt the gush over a day or two as the build up of blood came out. I had something similar due to retained placenta after one of my sons births and I bled sporadically over abour 3 weeks, sometimes - tmi - there were clots and the blood was almost running out lke a tap, other times its was just light spotting. Hope you get some answers tomorrow.

Hey all just checking in,

saw consultant, all great, sent back to MWLC.

Then had a funeral

going to bed asap.

13+1

Just went to Lidle, was only in there for 10 minutes and had to leave because whatever it is they use to clean their floors started to irritate my throat and made me cough like crazy. I had to go and stand outside to make it stop. Really odd.

Claire, glad things seem to have calmed down and hope things are good at the scan.

Cher - really sorry to hear your news

Claire - thinking of you, hope all goes well tomorrow.

I can't believe I'm be feeling jealous of all you ladies rattling off pregnancy symptoms! Blocked nose, heightened sense of smell, strange food things (not so much the MS and exhaustion of course!) I swear I won't believe I'm really pg this time until I've seen the scan.

Hey everyone, checking in too - off to bed in second. Just had bout of hysterically crying to DH that I feel so rough and he reminded me I was exactly the same with DD, and I started feeling better not long after so fingers crossed. 11 weeks tomorrow - 2 1/2 weeks to go until scan.

Was a bit optomistic with the baking thing today...only finished clearing up after myself at 9.30 - think I'd been in the kitchen since 5! (DH away so he couldn't restrain me). Still, at least plenty of provisions sorted for extended family weekend. Looking forward to getting to bed now (teaching a cupcake class tomorrow; need to be on top form!). Hope you're able to share good news with us tomorrow Claire.

Onlywantsone I saw your thread about what the vile woman said about your nephew, that with a funeral today sounds an awful day for you, hope you're OK and getting a good nights sleep.

ClaireDL - I have a funny shaped uterus too (I'm not even going to try to spell it) but I don't really know much about it though. Sending you all the best possible thoughts for tomorrow from the freaky womb gang.

Will drop in properly soon everyone x

Claire All the best for your scan today. Even if I don't post later I will look xx

Claire, thinking of you today.

told the in-laws last night. MIL very pleased and excited. FIL a bit flabbergasted.
11 weeks today.
weighed myself this morning and i have lost 1kg since my booking in last week, is that ok?

claire - hope today goes well for you, thinking of you xx

Hey Kiwi - I have lost weight too since I found out maybe 1/2kilo's. Think it depends how much if you weight anyway. Is you are super slim it's not advisable but not too bad if you have spare to lose IYKWIM

I would speak to your midwife if you're worried. Off for my scan now, wish me luck!

I lost quite a bit of weight in the first trimester with my first pregnancy (not sure if its your first or nor Kiwi?). I think it was mainly because I'd stopped drinking! I know this will make me sound bad, which I wasn't honest! , but DH and I would always have a glass of wine with dinner and that stopped once pregnant. Also I was going out a lot and drinking more then and usually eating rubbish take aways on the way home! When I stopped doing all that the spare weight fell off

Good luck today Claire

I haven't lost anything, but I haven't put any on either, despite going up numerous bra sizes and now having a bump, so I must be losing weight elsewhere on my body!

Claire just popped in to say good luck today - thinking of you XX

Claire, am crossing fingers for you again today.

I haven't put any weight on but I think that might be because I was about 10 1bs heavier than I am used to when I got pregnant so my body is just leveling out perhaps.

Me again.
I told my boss. I was physically shaking but she was lovely about it. Still a secret form everyone else but am itching to have my scan so I can tell everyone.

Hey all

who else is 13 weeks? I dont feel pregnant... my boobs dont hurt - i dont feel sick, im quite tired, but thats just normal and Im sure my bump is just flab.

when I lay down, I cant feel my uterus

Morning all

I'm now 11+3 and apparently the small growing thing is now the size of a large plum. It's been another hectic week for me and it's looking less and less like our move to Bristol is even going to happen now. Very frustrating!

Good news is that most of the morning sickness and tiredness has now gone - yippee! And I have my first midwife appointment now booked for 7th June and they've already referred me for a scan, which might even happen before then.

For the last few days I've been occasionally getting a strange fluttering sensation in what I know to be my uterus - I find any sensation there is very particular and don't think I'd mistake it. I did some research yesterday and apparently I might actually be feeling movement already! It's very early and especially for a first pregnancy but not unheard-of. :-)

I received my first baby present at the weekend. A friend bought me the most gorgeous pair of multicoloured knitted baby boots! I also got a doorframe bouncing contraption for £3 from a charity shop.

Hope you're all well and starting to feel better now too.

Hi everyone.

Claire - good luck today. Fingers crossed!

I have broken out the maternity wear. They are a bit big (thank God, as I am only 9 +6 today). But, the old trousers and jeans are too tight. So I''m walking round pulling up my trousers at work. 'tis very ladylike! But, hey, when I am sitting (which is most of the time) I can breathe and I like that.

Someone said they don't feel pregnant anymore. I get like that as well. The migraines are gonne (I hope!). I's still tired but not as bad as I was. The only remaining symptom is my sore boobs. Of course I still know I'm pregnant. But it's easy to forget.

I went to a happy hour for my old work last night and really wanted a drink. I was suprised at how no one really questioned the orange juice as being totally out of character for me. But, no one asked so I kept my secret.

I feel like a total bad mum today. DS thought I was comming to his assembly. But, I can't keep taking loads of time off work. So, I didn't go. He was so disappointed. He didn't cry but had the longest sadest face I've ever seen. It made me very . I think I'll wander into town at lunch time and get him something to make myself him feel better.

OWO - I don't feel that pregnant either and getting paranoid! I saw the hearbeat at 8+4 and have no real reason to worry BUT symptoms almost gone from 10 weeks, suddenly my tummy has gone down in the last 2 days and I stupidly bought a doppler the other day and can't hear heartbeat! Now I know all of these things are completely rational as symptoms are supposed to ease off plus I started taking ginger tablets for sickness so guess they just worked...also have tried not to stuff my face so much with carbs over the last week since feeling less sick as was really piling on the weight so that does coincide with not being as bloated and chances of finding heartbeat on a doppler on this stage are particularly slim BUT it does tend to niggle at you!!!! Only a week and two days before my next scan and hopefully I can relax a bit more...
