mermaid here's another hand to hold. What time is your scan on Monday, cos we can all think positive thoughts for you at that time like we do for 4ever

mermaidspurse · 11/12/2009 10:41

i nearly had to run at the thought of magic trees then!
thanks sabs for the hand, I remember holding your hand last year when you were spotting and it was snowing and thinking of saara gives me lots of positive vibes.

Neeko · 11/12/2009 11:00

Mermaid I'll do the back rubs

Just popping on to say that BabyNeeko has been kicking like a champion since before I opened my eyes this morning! Something to score off the worry list and the to-do list!

mermaidspurse · 11/12/2009 11:41

neeko your bean must have needed a little rest after all that leap frogging. Just shows that we won't stop worrying though doesn't it.

vjay scan is at 9.30 so out the way nice and early.

Thanks for all the hand holding had been sort of mellow but today I am a quiver with worry.

Neeko · 11/12/2009 11:53

Worrying's normal and at least it passes the time. Plan something nice (and non-smell related)to do this weekend

4everhopeful · 11/12/2009 12:42

Ooh early scans good mermaid, less time for pre scan weebling, i will be squeezin ur hand tight, like vjay says just knowing u are all sending positive vibes genuinely helps me feel better & im sure it works for baby too! Very reassuring to hear ur aversion to smells & general yuckiness!.....Vjay talkin of crossing bits ill be doin so for those results hon, sure youll pass with flyin colours cos u certainly worked hard enough Im tempted to say yes to the doppler, was it easy to use & how often did u? Cons reckoned can cause more worry if u cant work it!? ...... Neeko so pleased lo has been showing off football skills to reassure mummy less than a week of work left for you! ..... Also hope Sabs & family recover from ur colds, so sweet of you to offer the hat from hoping sure a big panter will snap it up! .... Igs hand squeeze if ur still weebling from queen weebler! Book that extra scan! ..... Hugs to
cupcake ..... Barbie must be wierd doin ur tree in the heat! We are buying & decorating ours today, very excited! ...... Got in a state yest tryin to do too much, i went to next, whsmiths, m&s, & sainsburys to meet dh, then dash to bf ds birthday, then pop to mums to say bye to sis as shes back to worcs til boxing day, got fish & chips on way home, was yuk, dh & i sat down about 9pm, i was done in & stressed had done too much as used to my bedrest & could feel pains & twinges, might of been trapped wind & feel ok now but as per usual, roll on mondays scan!

bluesatinsash · 11/12/2009 12:51

babyneekobigkicks, see they can come up trumps when a little reassurance is required for their Mummy's . My lo doesn't start kicking until late morning which worries me every day until I get the first kick but at the same time leaves me hopeful they will be good sleeper

Mermaid - looks like i'll be rubbing your cankles on Monday as your hands are all taken . Going off everything smell wise is such a good sign especially if its bacon butties as they are surely the best smell in the world . I used to love sniffing my facial wash, very pine tree and 'fresh'.

Hi Sabs - wow 11lb 11oz - go Saara .

4ever I used the doppler everytime I was worried about not feeling Ajay kick. I found the heartbeat everytime and found it very reassuring . I would say I used it a lot to begin with but as the pg progressed and Ajay kicked more and more I used it less. You are very welcome to have it if you want it, it was the best thing I bought because it kept me very reassured

4everhopeful · 11/12/2009 13:36

You know if its ok with you Vjay i might take you up on that offer please? Does it have instructions? I dont have ur pho no, my email is work, can someone pass mine on please? How much do you want for it hon? Im nervous & excited all in one! Iv been wanting to ask you how you found it as i vividly remember the postie delivering it to you what feels like yonks back!
.......Blue i shall heed your instructions but does doing our christmas tree count? !

bluesatinsash · 11/12/2009 13:39

As long as its only one bauble per hour with a lie down between each one .

4ever I have Vjay's mobile no. if its OK with Vjay I can txt you it...

4everhopeful · 11/12/2009 13:51

Dh just home from work (yay!) Told him about the doppler & cos consultant was against the idea for fear of causing more anxiety, (?!? ) Dh initially not enthusiastic but read your post to him Vjay & he seems more into the idea now.. My consultant is a very cautious by the book non endorsing kind of guy, good as he is.. We see him on thurs, will mention again.. I kno after my stress yest, id love to have it today, thats what brought Dh round, bless him he just doesnt want me worrying but knows this would hopefuly ease anxiety not cause more....

VJay · 11/12/2009 13:54

4ever I have the box, instructions and gel etc. I don't want anything for it, just want you to benefit from it like I did. When you've finished with it you could pass it onto mermaid or someone

blue yes please pass on my mobile, thanks.

Ooh this is exciting

4everhopeful · 11/12/2009 13:55

I like the decorating agenda Blue! I shall tell Dh! X

bluesatinsash · 11/12/2009 14:08

Done

VJay · 11/12/2009 14:09

4ever my dh was exactly the same, he didn't want me to get one incase I couldn't find the hb and would worry even more, but in the end I got it and was fine. It's up to you and I totally understand if you don't want it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 11/12/2009 14:30

Ah bless you Vjay thank you so much thats really sweet & kind of you! It can become an Emmsys heirloom like Barbie said! Blue just sent ur no, ill tx you now... X .....Blue im kind of wrapping a couple of pressies, do have to buy the tree still as well but after that NOTHING til monday! X

4everhopeful · 11/12/2009 14:37

hope everyone is well need to catch up again xxxx

anniebigpants · 11/12/2009 17:45

Hi ladies, just had quick catch up as got wriggly baby in one hand, hes just been fed but little gannet is still hungry as busy sucking my cheek .
i promise will start posting more soon, but along with VJay i too have a doppler-an Angelsounds one , which i would like to go too a good home to one of the lovely ladies on here. It is really easy to use, and i could hear the heartbeat at 12 weeks, and my tummy was well padded.

VJay · 12/12/2009 09:46

Good morning, I have put on a festive photo of Ajay, he doesn't look too impressed bless him

annie mine was an Angelsounds too. Was going to tell 4ever that I didn't get mine until about 18 weeks so didn't hear the hb til then, but you heard yours at 12 weeks and she's past that already so should be ok

blue less than a week to go

mrskate 24 weeks , that has gone fast. How gracie doing?

mermaidspurse · 12/12/2009 10:10

bluesatinsash · 12/12/2009 10:41

Aw bless Ajay too cute for words!

cupcakefairy · 12/12/2009 13:04

Hello girls, I am still alive
Been a very busy week but also been having a huge bit of a wobble since midwife appointment on Thurs. Turns out it was a different mw to the one I'd met before and another more senior one there too. Neither of them introduced themselves or told me why it was them instead of my normal mw until I asked. They didn't have my blood results back or any proof of my existence, told me off for not bringing fmu with me even though I wasn't told to, and didn't listen for the heartbeat I took an afternoon off work just to have my blood pressure measured and they didn't even ask how I was feeling. Was too annoyed and upset then to bring up any of my emotional concerns and just spent the next 3 hours at home crying my eyes out
Dh came home from work to find me in a sobbing mess in bed...
Thankfully my Mum's bf who is a senior mw in Cardiff phoned me later that night & was outraged on my behalf at my time being wasted. She's going to come over next week so dh and I can both hear hb which is really nice but I still feel so about how I've been treated so far in this pregnancy.

Anyway, enough mememe, sorry

Vjay that is SUCH a cute pic love it.

Iggy just so so pleased your scan went well and measurements etc all good well done for clearing that first hurdle!

4ever you are just lovely and thanks so much for all your support this week your pics are amazing!

Neeko so sorry to hear you've been having a hard time sounds like way too much stress for a 25+ wks pregnant lady! Bet you can't wait to put your feet up and drink some (non alcoholic) mulled wine very soon thanks for the updates on MLS and her dd, bless her hope she recovers to enjoy her blue puter!

mermaid hope you're managing to stay upright as much as poss before Monday! Thinking of you lots and here's hoping nobody steals that edd!

annie and buddha hope you're enjoying your lovely cuddly little boys. My mum told me this morning that 'the bond between mums and their little boys is just the BEST' - confirms our suspicions that my brother is her favourite!!

Hi to all you lovely ladies, sorry I haven't included you all..2 fire engines have just arrived outside our house so need to go and spy on cute firemen be a nosy neighbour
