any scan news?

lovemysleep · 17/02/2011 14:02

will you all please stop making me laugh so much? Sound like i need that straightjacket!

and emoo the pork scratching nipple - GAHHHHHHHHH! - that is so vile, I think I almost lost my lunch. That's definately put paid to any chance of a craving for those dirty, filthy things. If you can find a nipple, I bet you can find a bumhole.....And got to get myself sorted down below too, reckon it will be fanjocam tomorrow too Grin. Backs an old thing - well, did it in last year lugging furniture around, and now looks like I'll have it forever. Pilates helps a bit. Am a bit nervous that pg will makes it hurt like hell, so keep meaning to start doing some back exercise, but seem to hav lost my exercise mojo (eg turned into lazy, sleepy, eating machine).

Brian, who is this pg Brian? Is my pg brain missing something very obvious here?

Prettyvacant course you can call me Love. Am on steroids - 40mg daily, 75mg aspirin, omeprazole and progesterone. Due to have an intraplipid infusion again in 2 weeks. All because of very high NK cells. I'm 6+2 weeks, and I'm finding the meds ok - if there are any symptoms, they're just like being pg anyhow.

Knitter hope the leg gets better soon - sounds painful! I often fantasize about being a runner-type of person, and then attempt it, and it KILLS me. Always seems such a good way of getting fit.

MrsRobin healthy day has deteriorated - have had to scoff 6 crackerbread with real butter, and applewood cheese. God, what is it with cheese? Healthy salad obviously did not have enough carbs and fat.

Should really get the hoover out.....nah, gonna read my book til it's time to do the school run! How indulgent Smile

Mamapower · 17/02/2011 14:47

I sense a sugar overload has taken place!!! Either that or Brian isn't a typo at all Grin Grin

DachshundsWantPuppies · 17/02/2011 15:14

Sorry, can't talk much, an crazy busy at work but i wanted you all to know I haven't forgotten you!

Will prob not be back much until tomorrow or the weekend.

FX for all scans

emoo deforestation not really required for fanjocam - you cover yourself in a towel and they don't actually look, so unless they had to massively battle their way through it won't be an issue Wink I had heartbeat on pup1 at 5+6 and pup2 at 6+5, so FX you see something but it's not guaranteed and it's not a problem if you don't see one, so don't get too stressed about it

Y'know, all this talk of pork scratching bumholes has almost put me off the bag of doughnuts I am eating.

I said, 'almost' Grin

Fanjocam? I thought it was called dildocam. I have been exceptionally lucky and only had external scans but I managed to hang on for my first one til 9+4.

sleepy you poor bugger, that's a veritable cocktail of drugs you're on.

I have been for my 16 wk MW appointment today and I completely love my midwife. She found a heartbeat and let me record it on my phone, and says I can pop in and see her at her drop in clinic whenever I want to. She is ace. I am officially no longer stressed.

Also, excitingly, I think I may actually have felt some movement from the Owlet today. That or it's a massive chuff waiting to escape. Could be either, I'm not placing bets.

Got all my fingers crossed for you, ladies :)

Wombat33 · 17/02/2011 16:31

Oooh Owl how exciting and can I have a doughnut please?!?!?!

Welcome MrsRobin - congratulations on your bean!! I wish you a stress-free time this time around (and if you do feel stressed - which is inevitable sometimes - these girls are amazingly supportive!).

Welcome too to Brian HmmGrin

Good news here from the scan - Womblebean is still in place and now 4cm Grin Grin Grin Suspect I'm still going to have random panics but am sooo relieved to see it after the last lot of bleeding. So much clearer than last time around too!!! Grin (and for those of you who've been putting up with me for ages and know the back story - it seems to have all it's limbs currently looking fine and we could even see the bones forming for fingers and thumbs Grin Grin No news on toes yet but it was busy pretending to ride a bicyle so we couldn't get a good look at the feet Grin) Hope that's not an insensitive amount of information to share with for those still in the very early stages. Phew. 10+5 today. I want one of those time machines someone [pink?] was mentioning the other day Smile

Sorry - been terrible at catching up with all your news today - I've been sitting at my desk wibbling. Will be better tomorrow I promise. Love to you all xxxx

owlbooty · 17/02/2011 16:42

Hoorah for Womblebean ! Seeing toes is completely excellent. Misbehaving in scans is also excellent Grin

KnitterNotTwitter · 17/02/2011 17:03

owl the heartbeat is so lovely - great idea to record on your phone... must remember that when I get to that stage [positive thoughts emoticon]

wombat and lovely news on your scan too

Suddenly realised that soon it'll be my scan... the 22nd has seemed like AGES away but actualy it's just tomorrow, then the weekend and then monday and then scanday :)

Mamapower · 17/02/2011 17:04

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee for wombat and her cycling bean, great news hon.

Owl I want your MW, she sounds bloody fabulous... and a recording of the heartbeat, how amazing is that?! Glad all is well and I hope that you manage to either dislodge that trapped wind or that your bean makes a more significant movement so you can be sure it is not just a giant fart your are harbouring Grin

owlbooty · 17/02/2011 17:33

What amused me was that the lovely MW said 'ooh, it's usually the younger ones that do that...'

I am officially an old codger at 34. Grin

MamaP I've been belching/chuffing for England for the last 7 weeks. They never tell you about THAT in the pregnancy books, do they?

PinkFondantFancy · 17/02/2011 18:04

Quickie: owl the chuffing thing is in the bloke pregnancy guides (not that my DH can be arsed Yo read his... Angry ) hehehe prob for the best they are forewarned. Cheeky midwife!!!! That is ridiculous! Glad it went well, am Envy of your advanced state of diffdom

wombie amazing about bean moving-mine haven't been so far but I guess too small at mo.

Who was asking about dildo cam? I've now had 5 ( 3 this preg-scan dependent, me???) and can confirm they don't look at the state of your garden. I can't be arsed to even tidy anymore-figure they've seen much worse.....

Am so tempted to go for another scan next week but would like to hold out to 10 weeks really a) so the dr doesn't think I'm a nob b) to stop baking beany just in case it does turn out to be dangerous!! And c) cos will be exciting to hopefully see 2 weeks of progression. Unfortunately it also means there will be 2 weeks worth of pent up mentalling.

PinkFondantFancy · 17/02/2011 18:05

Back later-pretending to work...

PinkFondantFancy · 17/02/2011 18:12

tonythetyger you still out there? Hope youre ok x

lovemysleep · 17/02/2011 18:30

Wombat that's left me feeling all warm and fuzzy - so chuffed for you! 4 cms - ooooh, how exciting!

Owl God, can't believe the midwife said that - she'd probably think I was a granny at 39! Oh God, I'll probably be labelled something horrible like geriatric - am sure they have a tern for preggers oldies that is most unflattering..

And windy ladies, its bad....think my DD is getting tad fed-up of the fetid stench that seems to surround me these days. Hope this passes soon - going to Pilates is like playing farting-russian-roullette....

Knitter not long now....fingers crossed for you.

Right, time to crack on with bedtime - xx

Wombat33 · 17/02/2011 18:54

Any news from the other scans lemon? choccie?

chocciechip · 17/02/2011 19:33

Very quick update ladies ... Baby is fine - now 9+2. Smile I saw the heartbeat for the first time although DH has spotted it before in both previous scans (all I could see before was the sonographer's cursor on the screen Hmm). And it waved at us, which made my heart catch. DH's test result is a-ok too. There was more about my scan - implications for down the line in PG - which I'll tell you tomorrow, but am so shattered after an entire day at two hospitals that I need to just veg on the couch. Exhausted. Glad things went well for you too wombat, and hoping everything went ok for lemon.

mrsrobinredbreast · 17/02/2011 19:38

Great new Wombat, wow! Must have been a fabulous feeling.

Owl, there's nothing quite like hearing the heartbeat, is there. I got so addicted with my DD that I bought a doppler, which I suspect will be wheeled out a lot this pg - if I can make it that far.

Pink, can't decide it I prefer the term fanjocam or dildocam. Both crack me up. (Am such a child)

Off now to order an oh so healthy chinese take-away. Tomorrow I will eat more healthily, I promise.

nickstermum · 17/02/2011 19:42

Ha ha this thread is so successful we have even started to impregnate men.

Welcome Brian Grin are your breasts sore and full and do you dribble when you sneeze?

Thinks pink has replaced POAS addiction with something else..... Grin

Iam going to try and get in tomorrow just for a listen (i have replaced my POAS addiction with something too...) but have my 16 week appt on monday. and bloods yikes! fab if you are feeling movement this early with anterior placenta Grin I thought i had but i dont actually think it was anything but pumps!

nickstermum · 17/02/2011 19:43

YEY for chockies bean xxxx Grin

Wombat33 · 17/02/2011 19:45

glad everything was good choccie!

I've got more brown blood this eve! This bean is determined to test my zen! Am telling myself it was fine before, now I just have to ignore it!

nickstermum · 17/02/2011 19:48

PS mamap i have been cursed with short legs my entire life... well obviously! Family trait..sadly Thankfully they arent really that stumpy although seem fatter now...

Ah yes re- outing...

Received an email tonight from someone at work who i never really speak to, hardly know... QUOTE " Liisa (yes she does spell her name with 2 i's Hmm) has noticed you might be pregnant. Can you confirm? If so congrats, if not i will tell her off. Grant" (A MAN) Angry

how do i respond, or shouldnt i bother? Maybe should reply and say... fat and windy! or not at all?

Im sure everyone has noticed by now, I can hardly hide it... just wanted to be pregnant quietly this time....

IreneHeron · 17/02/2011 19:48

Can I join you? I've been ttc for 2 years, had a mc a year ago but at last got another bfp on valentine's day. I have none of the pleasure and serenity of my first pregnancy when I had DS because I'm crapping myself that I'm going to miscarry again.

Hope you don't mind me barging in on your well established thread.

nickstermum · 17/02/2011 19:48

wombole its fine am sure - prob from a few days ago... cling to your scan pic and put up your feet xxx

nickstermum · 17/02/2011 19:49

Welcome Irene *& congrats, welcometo mentalling hell..

Have you met Brian?

IreneHeron · 17/02/2011 19:55

Brian? I have met a Brian, but he's an idiot from Glasgow so not sure we're talking of the same one. Grin
