Hello,
day before my scan so I'm waving the 'get out of Haddocking free mentalling' Card at you all.
I ended up having a b12 injection last week, although I'm swiftly coming to the conclusion that my GP is a bit odd, and I'm not sure I really think I'd like to continue on his list. He started by saying it was normal, then said I should have three, then we agreed on just one and reviewing later...might see what the possibility of transferring to another in the practice would be. Anyway, I'm hoping that we picked it up in time, and that the b12 dropping was simply a combined effect of metformin + increased demand by placenta, and that it won't have any dreadful neural tube effects. I did have my folate levels checked in the first week of pg, and they were within normal range so fingers crossed.
Biscuits great news about the low risk result and good 16 week appt. Are you starting to feel any movements? Ah potty training, such a joyful time 
. My DS got it fairly quickly at about 2.5 but I do remember at about day 4 or 5 just despairing and wanting to give up. Fortunately we stuck with it and he was mostly reliable in about a week & a half, then a tiny relapse that got sorted with bribery and corruption positive reinforcements (chocolate buttons and star charts) and now he's absolutely in control of himself. Except night times, but that is another story. We took DS to choose his potty and he chose the biggest most expensive one, but it was worth it, no spills and he was totally comfortable using it. Still is at 3.5 for night times (mostly). And we just kept reinforcing that he had to make sure he was pointing down
Welcome litlady (my first instinct was to say 'howdy', but then I read it again and realised you could be a 'lit' lady, with books etc, and not someone out of a Western 
). It's hard when you feel the odds are a bit against you - my risk is higher because of clotting factors and PCOS - but the numbers have to be on the right side for someone, and there's no reason why it shouldn't be you this time around. Good luck.
LimeFlower how are you feeling now? Don't be afraid to go back and get antibiotics if you think you're not shaking off an infection, there are some that are safe to take in pg.
hello to Ains as well, you've got to 12 weeks already that's fantastic! Your scan is the day after mine and I am doing exactly the same with regards to mentalling about fewer symptoms etc. But I'm trying to remember that the HCG will have already started to drop and I think that's what makes me feel lousy.
LAF I think it's great that they'll give you regular scans after the 20 weeks one, that's what I'm hoping for too. I think the biggest risk with a clotting factor (even if it's being treated) is for the bloodflow in the placenta to be compromised which would make the baby smaller, so regular scans should pick this up and decisions can be made quickly. I think it's the safest route. Don't let the consultant stress you out though, most likely you'll see another one next time 
Shell oohhhhh congratulations on the good scan and for taking the plunge into grads. And hoorah for shopping but sorry to hear about the near-faint. It's a horrible feeling, isn't it - I had it several times with DS and it makes you feel quite ill and shakey.
Digi try not to worry, those are strong meds you're coming off so they're bound to have some effects plus you are at the time when symptoms lessen anyway. The flutters might not have been movements, they could have just been small muscle twitches in the wall of the uterus or your abdominal wall. Were you on progesterone? or are you off that too? If so, decreasing that could increase feeling crampy as it suppresses uterine contractions, so you could just be feeling those more now. Anyway, it's good that you'll get another scan quickly. Best of luck.
Big wave to Zam LadyBee in optimistic disguise here fingers crossed for a good HCG rise, have you started the injections? I've found here in NZ they are slightly different to the ones I had in the UK, there's no springloaded plastic sheath thingy, so they just look like a proper glass syringe which feels much scarier for some reason. I find doing them in the mirror less painful for some reason. No idea why 
Ok, so I think I've done so much mentalling in the last few days that I've worn it all out and am actually feeling quite calm and que sera sera about my scan tomorrow. Just want it over with so I know which path I'll be going down, IYSWIM, the road of immediate doom but possibly giving up on no.2 and ending this stressful journey, or the road of small optimism plus continued worry hopefully leading to great joy. Sigh.
