Right, I am hot, feeling a bit sick and knackered, so I am off home! Speak to you all tomorrow.

lardybump · 30/07/2008 17:23

Good luch with your scan playing. Look forward to hearing all about it...

GYo · 30/07/2008 20:02

Evening All

How is everyone this evening?

Looking forward to hearing about your scan Playing!

Im feeling distinctly "unpregnant" today. Woke up feeling different and boobs dont hurt, have had more energy and despite a bit of nausea (possibly in my mind) I just feel different to the last week....

Will monitor it... roll on second early scan next Tuesday

DH wont discuss it- says I should be more positive - which i should.

Cosmogirl · 30/07/2008 20:03

Yes, good luck Playing - very exciting! How much did it cost and where you having it? I am toying with the idea myself...

Has anyone heard from Popcorn Princess? Think she went to Kings today....hope everything went well for you Pop xx

Still feeling ok so far, but only 5 weeks so still time to feel ropey.... Looking forward to the weekend already!

Cosmogirl · 30/07/2008 20:04

Cross-posts GYo. That's good news about early scan. Do you have to pay for that one?

GYo · 30/07/2008 20:07

Hi Cosmo

I had some light bleeding at about 5.5wks so went for a scan last tues. Doctor said was too early to see heartbeat so they are bringing me back next week (will be nearly 8wks) to see if its still viable (sounds awful!)

Have you told anyone else other than your sister?

GYo · 30/07/2008 20:08

oh, didnt have to pay for it, but I was going to have a private one before bleeding....

Cosmogirl · 30/07/2008 20:15

Hope everything goes well - will be reassuring to see everything is OK. Yep, told MIL last night, she was really happy. Telling my parents this weekend when we see them. Bit nervous about telling them but hopefully they will be pleased for us.

Have a bit of a weird feeling in my throat tonight after dinner...hope it's not sickness starting ekk! Also had some odd shooting pains in abdomen and bits - quite odd but didn't last long. Hopefully just stretching pains...

GYo · 30/07/2008 20:26

I know what you mean about being nervous about telling parents. Ive still not told anyone. We decidced to wait til after the scan next tuesday to tell people. But I think I am quietly putting it off.

Want friends to know but I quite like it being a "secret" for me and DH!

GruffaloSoldier · 31/07/2008 04:01

Ive finished my dissertation - yayyyyyy!
I am sleep deprived and just printing it off but I feel soooo happy!

I'll post properly tomorrow, just wanted to let you know I am free!!!!!

SesQal · 31/07/2008 07:43

Gruffalo - that's fantastic! Congratulations
You must feel great to have that done and pretty exhausted looking at the time of your post!

Playing - hope all went well with your scan last night? V exciting!

I'm now on CD25 and 9dpo. Really trying hard to not get my hopes up and to focus on next cycle but not easy! Have no real symptoms to spot but if no AF arrives will test CD30 next Tues and not before!

Pop - hope all went ok for you yesterday? Thinking of you.

Right! Best get ready for work!

glaskham · 31/07/2008 08:19

Playing hope all was well at your scan last night!!

I'm not gonna be around too much today as my friend and her 2 LO's are coming for a playdate with the kids, and DH expects to be able to finish early...

glaskham · 31/07/2008 08:21

and well done GSon finishing!! Must be a big load off your mind!!

GYo · 31/07/2008 08:31

Morning all

Well done GS- must be a huge relief!

Hope you are treating yourself to a rest today.

Hi everyone else-

SesQal- keeping everything crossed for you...

Glask- enjoy the kids today. Are you set for your trip?

glaskham · 31/07/2008 08:39

My nighty that I'm taking is drying currently... i need to pack sun-cream for the kids and mine and DH's toothbrushes as I forgot to get us new ones, then I think I'm all packed!!

Friends DS is only 9 mths so I'm looking forward to the baby babble again!! Haven't seen her properly in over 3 mths!! and not seen her LO's since DS's birthday party in december!!

Shame its raining as i'd planned a picnic of sandwiches and fruit in the garden but will have to make do with the living room floor!!

Cosmogirl · 31/07/2008 08:44

Morning guys,

Congrats Gruffalo! You must be relieved it is over. Hope you are still in bed having a nice lie in. Well, can't believe it is only Thurs..this week is dragging! At least it is pay day today

GYo · 31/07/2008 08:45

Sounds great Glask- enjoy the day

Cosmogirl · 31/07/2008 08:48

Did anyone else have a sticky out tum at 5/6 weeks? Mine is really noticeable and I'm a bit worried people at work will start to guess....Prob all bloat but can't seem to hold it in...If only I had a washboard, six-pack tum to begin with I'd be OK

calsworld · 31/07/2008 09:05

Cosmo - ummm, I'm with you on the tummy front, one of my work friends asked if I've been bra shopping so guess my boobs must be noticeably bigger.

Feeling very very sick at the moment so going to go and eat something and hope it goes away.

GYo · 31/07/2008 09:15

HI both- I've had the bloating, which is definately worse towards the end of the day. My trouser are tighter now but there isnt a bump to speak of.

LOL re bra shopping question- thats very direct

Im convinced I've got IM PREGNANT written all over my face but its probably not that obvious

Playingthe9monthwait · 31/07/2008 09:33

Morning all,

So the scan went fine yesterday. Just the one bean, saw a lovely clear heart beat and everything looked normal. They also made me 8+2 (so I'm 8+3 today) which is great, around the time as I was expecting so I must of ov'd on CD19 and tested when I was a couple of days late.

Cosmo - cost £50. Quite a bit but seems a lot cheaper than some places I've seen. They were really nice as well and the NHS use the clinic so I'll be going back to the same place to have my nuchal on August 26th.

Gruffalo - well done!! Must be so relieved to have finished!

Re fattness. I just look really fat now. I had a bit of belly fat to begin with and as I have expanded slightly its pushed everything outward and I look like a complete heffalump! Oh and I will have to go bra shopping at some point as well, damn and blast, I don't want bigger boobs!

Morning everyone else, and thanks for all yor wishes.

GYo · 31/07/2008 09:36

Hi Playing- so pleased all is well for you. You must be thrilled Do you feel relaxed now?

Did they give you a picture?

GYo · 31/07/2008 09:40

what does that make your due date then Playing?

Playingthe9monthwait · 31/07/2008 09:57

Hi GYo - yeah its nice. I do feel more relaxed. Even the Sonographer said that once you see a heart beat the risk of mc decreases, so its not just a MN myth. Still, things could still go wrong and I can't forget that but the odds are certainly in my favour.

They reckoned my EDD was 5th March but also said that it might change again at the nuchal. So I am going to leave it as is at the moment and wait till the nuchal to get a better idea.

Oh and I got about 9 pics and a DVD. Not quite sure what I'd watch the DVD for though! Not really much to see, you can tell something is there and you can see the heartbeat clearly but it really doesn't look like a baby!

pophas2beans · 31/07/2008 10:11

Hi everyone,

Well I had my scan yesterday at Kings and all went well. I was there for 6 hours in all and they were truely fantastic. They have confirned that the twins are not downs and that they are in seperate sacs. They are going scan me again in 3 weeks time to check for TTTS. There is no sign of it at this stage thank goodness.
