Hello!

Newly updiffed and freaking out about spotting, cramping, the wait until your first scan and each little twinge? Settle in for lots of hand holding and supprt until you're ready to move to grads

Hi Pippa my GP just offered it to me for my own sanity but also because she didn't want to book me in until we knew the viability. I would ask for one and if your GP/mw is sympathetic may offer to refer you for one. Other than that I, like many people booked a private scan... approx £70 I think, it may be worth it for peace of mind. Good luck and let us know how you get on Smile

Evening all

oh x-posts nix we're good, we're really good, shall we start charging for this advice Grin

nickstermum · 01/02/2011 19:35

WE should... be loaded before long Grin

Evening all!

I'm also discovering the downside to train travel: I wish all the people sitting around me would stop breathing - their breath stinks!!!

pink does sobbing this morning at the news report that the Egypthan army had declared that they would not open fire on civilians count as random crying? Blush (I have no connections with Egypt or anyone there, never even visited on holiday...)

Can I join?

Formerly tigger but after today's news am going through a namechange phase.

I had my first scan today at 6+1/2 and discovered that I'm having twins. Still in shock. 22 months failure and then this. Can't believe it at all.

owlbooty · 01/02/2011 20:13

Welcome new and lovely people Grin

And a massive WHOA at Tigger - that is amazing news!!! So pleased the scan went well for you, no wonder you are shocked! :) Will they give you another scan in a few weeks or will you have to wait until you hit 12?

Pips definitely worth discussing with your MW. At the moment the scanning dept near me are drowning in preggo ladies so I knew I stood no chance and went private, but it seems to vary wildly from area to area. Always worth asking!

Mamapower · 01/02/2011 20:13

bouncer just congratulated you on the other fred but hell you got two so deserve a second whoooooop here too for the double trouble Grin Grin

icantquitebelieveit · 01/02/2011 20:32

Owl they offered me another scan in 2 weeks (but just for fun) which I declined and I have my next AN in 3 weeks (booked last week) so they'll probably scan me then.

PinkIsACheeseAddict · 01/02/2011 21:23

Wow tigger that has just put the biggest smile ever on my face!!! Fantastic news!!! Grin also well done you for declining a scan in a fortnight's time-you must be made of stronger stuff than me!! I've got another one in a week and I'm already getting antsy.

hairyfairylights · 01/02/2011 21:28

Congrats tigger that's fantastic!!

tonythetyger · 01/02/2011 21:29

Have namechanged again. Trust me Pink, when you've got 4 appts booked by the time you're 9 weeks and you can't tell work until you feel that it's definite enough (so probably not before 12) a 5th one guaranteed to take up most of a morning is not a good thing to have to explain to your boss Smile

Let's see how calm I am when we get to wk 8. Logically I know it makes no difference and if it's not going to happen it won't irrelevant of if I have a scan or not. But it is fun to see it on a screen.

OrangeGloss · 02/02/2011 07:13

Tigger !!! that's put a :) on my face! Is there a history of twins?

Wombat33 · 02/02/2011 07:37

Whoop! tigger TWINS!!! That's sooo exciting! Congratulations!

Good morning all xxx

PinkIsACheeseAddict · 02/02/2011 08:39

tigger agree on the trying to keep things secret from boss thing-think she's going to get suss if I keep coming in late a day a week....

Have any of you resumed SFF? I'm a) too scared b) don't feel like it c) my stomach and boobs hurt too much. Feel a bit sorry for DH Blush

Have a good day all xx

oooohhhhhh tigger that's FAB. I'd LURVE twins, but I think I've just got one in there.

(4+3 hcg was 727, which I don't think is high enough for twins)

oooh tigger I cant quite believe it either... never rains but it pours. Congratulations. Grin I hope in some way it makes up for some of the rubbishness over the last 22 months... TWO!!!! Gosh!

Do they know if they are identical?

nickstermum · 02/02/2011 09:13

pink in answer to your question... yes i ate the mackeral straight out of the tin... Blush

bean Brain food Grin

Wombat33 · 02/02/2011 09:22

Pink sff - no. DH refuses because he's too worried about things going wrong again (not that that caused it) but I respect his feelings on it and to be honest, I'm too uncomfy/sick/tired/grumpy most of the time anyway! We've agreed to wait until 12wks/when I feel better.

dachs hcg levels for singletons and twins aren't necessarily that different. Have you seen the betabase site? Give it a google if you're interested. It collects data from women who've had their hcg levels tested in early pg from single, twin and triplet pgs.

nickstermum · 02/02/2011 09:29

SFF and PG - does not compute....

we wont until the baby is born (assuming we get there!)

DH has a hand......Grin

(We tried last pg and it just felt wrong....)

Mamapower · 02/02/2011 09:45

Pink Grin Grin Grin I can confirm that we are still very much at it Blush Grin Grin

Mamapower · 02/02/2011 09:47

Morning all

I had to announce to dh this morning that if my boobs carried on getting bigger we'd be shopping before too long... Ummmm, that's something to look forward to, a lovely white cotton maternity bra! eeeeew!

PinkIsACheeseAddict · 02/02/2011 09:59

Haha wombat definitely qualifies as random crying!!! Grin

hairyfairylights · 02/02/2011 12:23

Morning all wave

Well, in the last 20 or so hours I have

Thrown a spectacular strop and got weepy over a throw away comment
grown a new whitehead
Put my knickers on and walked around all morning with my leg through the wrong hole (and the gussett around my thigh)
Wept out loud at Margaret John (the old lady on Gavin and Stacey) dying.
Wept out loud at the thought of my poor little poppett babies that didn't make it.
Wept out loud at the thought of Friday's scan.
Wept because I am now in size fourteen trousers and can't get size twelves on (this is a fat issue not a pg issue!)

Hormonal, me??

Mamapower · 02/02/2011 12:34

I shouldn't laugh at your demise into hormone hell hairy BUT hahahahahahahahaha Grin Welcome to the we're all fucked up by raging hormones club Grin Grin

ok, going to doc for second blood test later. but I have NO symptoms at all any more. My BiscuitBiscuit aren't getting bigger or sore, I don't feel sick or tired or emotional and now I'm really really worried that the bean has gone. :(

I'd give anything to be feeling hormonal, emotional and sick right now!
