keep Little teeny kicks, awwww

imps yeah to the sleepsuit, if Everything is ok tomorrow I might Think about ordering one too (to be hidden away out of sight for at least Another 10 weeks!)

we don't have any holidays booked at the moment but I will hopefully be in England in July and maybe a trip somewhere warm around then too. though apparently my dad doesn't Think I should fly, he's worried about pressure Changes affecting the baby. I don't actually Think a few short flights will be a problem but its nice that he's concerned.

imps I love that you have ordered the sleep suit! I'd say the first kicks felt like a little bubble popping. Wait till Barry baxter has hiccups! That's weird.
Lovely to see far and cups
Sorry for bfn belle
Gp was ok not entirely useless but not a huge help either. She did seem to the think that I would get am early scan.
They've changed my drip appointment! It's tomorrow at 4pm now.

I feel like I've been naughty and done something wrong by buying it before the 20 week scan Confused

Hurrah-ish for not-entirely-unhelpful-GP. Hope changed appointment doesn't lead to logistical problems for you.

Sorry about the BFN Belle. Onwards and upwards - next month is your month. Unless you've just chosen to pee on the wrong stick and this month is actually your month after all.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 27/04/2016 14:21

sorry about that belle but its not over until the fat lady sings!

imps you haven't done anything wrong - the likelihood of anything going wrong now is tiny. So don't you worry. You might not want to buy Everything Barry-Baxter will need for its first year yet but one Little sleepsuit is fine. What size did you order? :o

trix the early scan is at least good news and you have your drip tomorrow, so you're doing what you can. I'm sending sticky thoughts your way!

I've felt really bloated this afternoon, luckily its early time to go home :o

Oh and to answer your question about France Keep - we're going to Avignon. We're going on the train which is direct from St Pancras and staying somewhere lovely with a pool and which is only 300m from the village centre. Should be manageable and lovely even if I'm massive by then.

I ordered up to 1 month Beedles so Barry-Baxter can wear it straightaway (assuming he won't be a monster-sized baby).

My bloating is still really bad despite having been off bum bullets for over a week. I've actually quietly told the people who sit near me at work - although I'm still sucking in my stomach as far as it will go when walking around the office, I can't/don't want to when I'm sat at my desk, and my stomach does look obvious. They've been good though and haven't spread the news - not that I asked them not to.

Hope you'll be dancing on the bridge then imps!

So did gp refer you for that scan then trix?

Imps9 · 27/04/2016 16:51

Oui, bien sur - sur le pont d'Avignon, Imps et Barry-Baxter y vont danser.

Geek how are things today? No more bleeding and more good cramping I hope. What time is your scan tomorrow?

OP posts:
ControlGeek · 27/04/2016 18:34

Lordy that was a busy day, this is my first chance to check in here!

So sorry for the bfn belle, next month will be the one.

Glad your GP wasn't totally useless trix, an early scan would certainly be reassuring. Good luck for tomorrow's drip.

Awww imps I'm loving that you bought that gro, Barry-Baxter will love it!

All ok here, hanging on in there but feeling all a bit schroedinger's cat about the whole scan thing tomorrow. At least for now I don't conclusively know that things are not going right, which means I have at least that sliver of hope that things might be ok. Tomorrow I'll find out one way or the other and, if it's bad news, there'll be no going back from being given that information.

Scan is at 9am, followed by full day at work, then taking DF to an appointment (I became his primary carer last November) so a lot of hours before MrG and I can get some space for ourselves.

cartoontrickster · 27/04/2016 21:02

keep no she didn't but she said to fill in the form for the midwife and they would probably contact me and want to see me sooner than the usual 8-10wks. I'll get a scan with Mr S anyway.

Good luck for tomorrow geek not long now.

keepitgoing · 27/04/2016 21:36

geek good to hear from you, I was a little worried. Good that scan is early I guess, but as you say ages till you get to process things either way. Gosh you are busy, with your dad too. Lovely, I soooo hope all is OK, hope you can let us know

And beedle I'm sure all will be good for you, will be a big milestone for you

I was about to do a 'bump' pic but have collapsed in bed. Demain, peut etre.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 28/04/2016 06:13

geek brooking so hard for you this morning. I get what you mean about maybe everything is ok is in someway better than knowing for definite. If only they could knock us out from ET to giving birth (or even better until after giving birth!). and you have such a full day ahead.

I got a Little hint last night of how different our experience has been than other peoples. I'd told MrB that we would probably get a much better view at the scan because it would be a better scanner (than the portable one the mw has). So he asked me last night if I was going to shower in the morning (rather than last night), as he had assumed that proper scan = dildocam as that is what I have had so many times. He had no clue that normal pregnancy scans are not done with a dildocam Shock

There is a massive amount of scan-based brooking going on in the Imps household. Muchos hand-holding to Geek and Beedles

And I hope your drip goes well too Trix

Ladies, ladies, you are all making my brain hurt with your French - my poor grey matter is insisting on trying to translate from incredibly rusty GCSE knowledge and it HURTS I tell you!

The very best of brooking luck today Beedle, and to you too trix. I will be thinking of you both.

Thank you all for the thoughts and kind words. I'm just about to set off for the scan (way early but MrG is panicking about traffic). Will update as soon as I can.

keepitgoing · 28/04/2016 07:27

I know beedle most people would be horrified at the thought of a dildocam!

It's also my brother's gender scan tonight - I guess boy.

Good luck everyone, it's a beautiful sunny morning here so taking that as a good sign

God, it really hasn't occurred to me that there are women out there who have never had a dildocam Shock

Found another fabulous sleepsuit Pricey, but might treat Barry-Baxter if all goes well at the 20 week scan.

Shock imps £28... Nice, though

Imps9 · 28/04/2016 08:02

I know Shock. Would be lovely to buy everything made in the UK and from independent businesses but there's just no way on earth it's affordable. Can't resist a ukulele-playing pheasant though.

You'll just needs loads of babygros and vests at first - second hand or third! is fine as they dont wear them for long. This one will be in at least 4th hand mostly!

use your ivf money

Brooking really hard for you Geek and Beedle xxx

Imps9 · 28/04/2016 09:20

Yes Keep - I will get most things as hand me downs and from charity shops. I realise Barry-Baxter doesn't need a posh, extensive wardrobe. I've only bought one sleep suit and have my eye on one other! Nothing excessive in my eyes.

Ooohhhh brooking Geek...

keepitgoing · 28/04/2016 09:33

I didnt think so either, but some people go crazy. Was Just kidding, it's fun to get new stuff
