Shiny new thread for us

The race is on for the first BFP!

Morning, wow there's been a lot going on.
barbie so glad you are ok, I lol at your 4 bottoms.

gracie I breathed a huge sigh if relief at your low risk test result, ds gave me a look of concern, bless him.

mermaid and blue I know what you feel like with the water fights and sword fights, ds had his cousin to play with, and they adore each other, they wrestled, chased, played, fought and did everything together, it was noisy but great

Not much news from me, the braxton hicks have been getting stronger, but that's it. I've got 2.5 weeks to go going off my 11 weeks scan or 1 week to go going off my 22 week scan, but the midwives go off the 1st scan, so we'll see

Oh Vjay, you could go anytime! No wonder your DH is jumpy Glad you had a nice time with the relatives.

hi neeko it was fun but exhausting

DH has asked me to wait until atleast next week to have this baby because then he will be fully staffed at work , so I will try my best

Yes, because I'm sure crossing your legs and asking the baby nicely to wait really works!!

neeko i had the same dream as you and about the same time in the pregnancy, i think its normal post mc to have this kind of dream....just wait for a few more days and your ms will hit you!

vjay holy crap, you could have it any day now!! soooooooo excited for you! remember to get dh to update us asap!

really worried about buddha she hasnt even updated on fb, was so sure we would here from her. I have text mm to see if she has any news but no reply as yet, i have everything crossed...vjay dont follow suit, we need the little to come soon!

Morning all
Am also a bit concerned about buddha but she did say she wouldn't be posting personal details on here anymore... maybe she's going to email or something. Hope she's ok though.

Hi Vjay! We missed you...oh my word, it could be just 1 week so exciting!

Hi neeko how horrible to have that dream - I hate it when you can't shake off a bad dream but goodness you must have been relieved when you woke up! Symptoms still being ignored... though temp did rise slightly this morning
There's a comic book part to Tenth Circle? Oh that is rubbish I won't see it... maybe I'll have to have a sneaky look at the book in the library It's the first time I've ever listened to a book and can't say I like it much.

We're off to a BBQ today; the sun is actually shining- yay! Hope everyone enjoys their weekends.

I'll just texted Buddha, I'll let you know if she replies. I wonder if maybe she doesn't want to write it on here, in which case I'll text, email or FB everyone I have contact details for.

I've a had a text from Buddha. All was ok at the scan, she didn't manage to find out the flavour. She thanks you all for worrying and says your support is much appreciated.

Thanks for that Gracie very pleased for Buddha that all is well and she'll have a December surprise

Firstly can I say so sorry that I couldnt post sooner, but how lovely it was to see such concern, much much appreciated. I wasn't going to update if we'd found out the flavour I was going to email, unfortunately we hada bit of a family emergency on Thursday night and not been near a PC since so sorry again for worrying you all.
As the lovely Gracie said all went well and I have to say I've been baby window shopping today so think I might have relaxed a little
Gracie Thanks for text and so pleased you got to the HB, that's fantastic and so early as well Also good news on the blood results too x
Barbie Snap, I have placenta previa too, they did hope that it would have moved at the scan yesterday but unfortunately it hasn't, so still no sex so not gutted and have to have another scan at 32 weeks. Good luck for tomorrow
hoping Hope you're having a good day today?
lbm Lovely to hear from you, sorry you've been having a sad time, wishing you lots of baby dust
4ever hope you are having a good time at the wedding
Neeko I had so many dreams like that, the worst thing is they feel so real when you wake but that's only because we've been through the trauma. Vivid dreams are a good pg sign though if that's any help x
Cupcake How many days until you test?
Blue Fab news on the shingles going, although I'm sure you never looked sexier with your calamine lotion
Vjay Still in one piece I see, not long now

Big sunny waves to anyone I've missed

Hiya buddha so glad the scan went well and you are starting to relax, it is a good feeling isn't it.

Right I'm going to put one of your mobile numbers into my phone so if my waters break/go into labour I can let you all know if I'm not near my computer. Now who wants the job?

Hi buddha glad you and baby are ok hope everything with the family is ok too.
af due Tuesday so if temp hasnt dropped by then I will test...feels like forEVER- stupid long cycle

hi all

oh im so glad buddha that everything is ok .xx

Hello everyone hope you have all been enjoying the sun today- sadly been doing an extra shift a work!

So pleased to hear scan went buddha

Vjay not long now you must be so excited

Night night sorry its a quick post so tired and its bd night tonight so got to keep awake for that. Every other night until af now or until day 37! Things a girl has to do x

hello

Buddha, i was soooooo worried. I kept checking you all day in work, text mm, and even stalked gg on fb in case she had heard was starting to think you had got carried away with the baby shopping and was either locked in mothercare when they closed or you were to be found under a mound of shopping bags somewhere between the shops and home

Ive been up since 3am dh had to go on business to another emerite and i was convinced he would miss the alarm...not that he ever has any way when he got up at 4am we realised the dog had been very poorly during the night and it was pretty bad (yuk!) so we ended up taking a few things outside to hose then down...i tried to go back to sleep but ended up having a nightmare about snow and someone chasing us, or something like that....woke up drenched in sweat (yep the dreaded night sweats have started!) and then i was lying awake worrying about the scan....dh wont be with me but its ok because he was with me on thursday....

So im tired and worried, not a great combo but hey least i only work until 3pm and then i can come home and sleep. z z z z z

Have a good day everyone xxx

VJay I am sure there will be a long list of us willing to post news of your labour/birth perhaps you could put names in a hat
Barbie Thankfully that is one symptom of pg that I haven't experienced, the night sweats and by the sounds of it you can keep them too! Hope F gets better soon. What time is your scan today? Shame DH can't be there but as you said he was there Thurs when you really needed him, today will just be a "walk in the park"
cupcake I am shaking off my pom poms so I can do a stay away AF dance just for you for Tuesday
bakingqueen Good luck with all the BDing
MrsKate How you doing?

Scan went well
For some reason i have a baby who likes to stand on its head

Very very active, took about 45 mins to get measurement but she thinks in 12 plus 3 give or take a few days.

V low risk of downs, bloods fine, saw everything in the right place so all i have to do now is breathe and relax!

barbie fab news , and so glad you are low risk for downs. Now you can start to relax and think about joining us bigpanters

It's been quiet on here so far this weekend, I hope it's because you are all relaxing and enjoying yourselves

hi all

Morning girls!

Barbie i'm so pleased your scan went well. When Curly is back from her holidays maybe we could consider the idea of all moving to Bigpants together. What do you think?

MrsKate Yay symptoms!

Got to run, just off to church.

gg far too scary...although it would accomdate my four bums better!

mrskate i love it that you feel sick! ha ha sound good...

vjay you still here get doing some yoga and get pushing the little one out

I love logging on to great news

Buddha - fab news on your scan let the baby shopping begin in earnest now .

Barbie - lol at your baby on its head - just like its Mum - a tad eccentric . So delighted your scan went A-OK and your low risk for Downs, its such a lovely feeling being told that . Sorry to hear ol' Freddie has been poorly tho'.

Vjay - sooo exciting! We might be up in your neck of the woods next weekend. I think I mentioned it aeons ago ? We didn't arrange anything until after my scan last week as we're staying with DH's cousin who we stayed with week after mc last August and you know me and tempting fate. Anyway, its still to be confirmed but think we're heading up to Elgin Thurs-Sat. I can txt you to see if your still about and we could try and have a quick meet up in Inverness?

MrsKate - yay for throwing up - all gooood!

So loving being on holiday, spent yesterday on St. Andrews beach then out for dinner. Having a garden day today, DH and DS are washing the cars and I'm swanning about .

I'll join Buddha with her pom poms in keeping AF away for all those testing this week. We need a new batch of BFPs!!

Afternoon ladies, ive been lurking but been too busy to post.

Buddha-Glad all well with your 20 week scan.

Barbie-What a scare! So glad all well and scan went great, boo to low lying placenta though! Hopefully it may move up as womb grows.

Jools-Thinking of you, hope backache as eased with the swimming.

neeko-Glad you keeping well and having lots of lovely reassuring symptoms.

cupcake-Really hope AF stays away for the next 9+ months!

MrsKate-Yeyy for sickness kicking in. Glad the backache getting better.

Sabs-Are you on maternity leave yet?

Iggy-Has jury service finished now?

Blue-Ouch to shingles. Glad they clearing. i was really giggling when i read the post where you said you were sat at your keyboard with your norks covered in calamine lotion,letting them air

Gracie-Glads you got to hear bean,s heartbeat, its so lovely and reassuring to hear.
