You are welcome HK, have posted about you being a meanie to her!

nice pic HK

twocatsonthebed - i'm 27 wks and still don't believe it, i keep waiting for something to go wrong, this is my first pregnancy where, (touch wood)all has been ok. i'm constantly checking for something to be wrong, and if baby doesn't move enough i keep jiggling my belly about to make it kick just to reassure myself.

KK - hope you're sis is doing ok. she's lucky to have you as support, a voice of experience in a way. look after her.

Hk - love the beanie pic, so sweet, ahve left you a message on there.

Hope everyone's doing ok today.

Slink - good luck for tomorrow

morning everyone,

diddle - thanks for the message, I'm feeling very much that way already - as I haven't had MS (yet!) I don't even feel that pregnant. I may have to find a very absorbing hobby to keep my mind off worrying (!)

Very nice to see the pic HK, and hope tomorrow's OK slinkstah

Hi, re London meetup- any day except Thursdays are good for me. SLink I thought you might want to wait until after the 28 week mark. What about the week begining the 10th of Apri?

Lol Mygirl, saw what you wrote. Thanks all for your gorgeous comments!

Waiting in anticipation for the 20wk one now

appointment was today not tommorrow, sorry i was on here last night late - well early, had insomnia
all went well anyway and the cervix lady swabbed me so i didn't have to go to the antenatal bit phewww! cervix is lookin good and alls well:)
ooh and cervix lady said every day increases chances of survival by 3% so even if its going so slowly 1 day makes a difference.

mygirl- always attempt to get a metro (london free tube paper) on way to my appointment but the commuters always have em all before 9am! i found out my dp takes 2 every morning one to sit on so his bum doesn't get cold- men are pussys!

HK- love the pic you must be thrilled:)

cori- that week is fine for me, i can do earlier though if you wanted as i will be almost 30weeks then:)

Good Morning everyone,

Good news Slink about your appointment. 3% per day sounds good to me so every week 21% - wow!!

HK - that picture is so cute.....

Slink- great news, but yes your DP is a big girls' blouse!

Cori - Fab week, will be first of mat leave (or actually holiday but who cares!).

Slink - yep second the big girl's blouse.

HK - cute pic!

Reset buttons - why are they soooo large!!. Need to be tiny and not obvious but no they're blatant!

KK - how's your sis doing?

she's trying to stay positive and i keep telling her that all this worry could be for nothing but i am worried that i'm also giving her false hope :( she told me that she doesn't know whether she would be able to carry on ttc if it's bad news. i really wish there was something i could do for her to make it all better. it's this horrible waiting game to see what the outcome of the scan is going to be next thursday, she's taken some time off work to help deal with things.

Hello all. KK so glad your sis has a lovely lady like you to support her, she must be so so worried and anxious. HK wow what a dolly! She is just peachy . Feeling a bit crap today, sick and tired as they say! Also mortified, my trouser button opened of its own accord at work im gonna be the size of a house When i had ds i lost a stone and a half during 1st/ 2nd trimester so when i started putting the weight on it wasnt too bad. Also dr has told me to watch weight gain as have varicose veins that are painful now!! Yikes and the only thing that makea me feel better is eating and drinking...... excuse my moan pls

Hi all!
Slink- Wonderful news!!! 3% is a huge difference in just one day.
G4p- Lol!!!!!!!!!!!! I was cracking up at your button incident! . I feel massive. Naturally very slim and now have thighs liek tree trunks, an arse like a beanbag and my bump is'nt even too big. Why oh why can't I stay little with a huge bump?
Definitely cut out choc apart from peanut butter kit kat's mmmmmmmmmmmm. Dp got me onto those so rationing them

How's everyone?

very quiet on here.
excellent news Slink!!

HK - all fine at the house of diddle, had loads of energy today, have been doing far too much cleaning, think i'm turning into you!!! Everywhere is almost immaculate, makes me feel very positive.

Evening all,
Diddle- Agree it's very quiet today, although I've been out most of the day. I went over to see my family, especially my "baby" brother. He's 30 today! Wish I could have some of your energy. After Wednesday night (awake 2-5am), had a reasonable night Thursday night but last night, back to being wide awake. 1.30-4am! Iam so knackered! At least DH is making a curry for me, so no cooking tonight! Better get DDs off to bed (with me not being very long afterwards!)

Hope everyone else is well (and getting a better nights sleep than me!)

Yes it is quiet isn't it. Its been dd1's 6th birhtday party so it certainly hasn't been quiet in the Wills household.

hello everyone made it to the big 12 week stage. it's hard i feel so happy on one hand with my pregnancy and so so very sad on the other hand for my sister. it's so hard all of this, she has such strong pregnancy signs and there was a heartbeat so it sounds good but there's nothing on the internet that i can find that shows a good outcome when the amniotic sac is the wrong shape.

also got a letter from warrington general hospital yesterday finally. it was the deputy chief executive who wrote to me when i emailed the pals office. anyways they've got the times wrong, they said we didn't arrive there until 0434hrs. arghh!!!!! we arrived there about an hour before that so i'm going to now get in touch with the ambulance company to see what time they have on records. also they mentioned they took her heart rate which is another lie and dp is fuming. they said they spoke to the nurse who admitted us and she thought it was just a feeding problem as i was bf well i think the stupid nurse should be punished for that as she was clearly wrong. then they went on to say too much time has lapsed to recall the night properly. it appologises for the blood on the floor and says that there is a high standard of hygiene in the hospital. i'm so angry and upset with them, they're trying to cover up their mistakes. it also said there was a form with the letter to say i could get a copy of the notes from that night but the form wasn't there. dp is so angry, he's going to sort it all out on monday. i hate it when letters like this arrive on a saturday and you have to wait until monday to sort everything out. all i wanted was them to admit they were wrong, appologise and promise that their hospital won't let this happen again. i need to get over this but i can't unless they admit they were wrong.

Kreamkrackers, that letter sounds very distressing. DO you have a copy of the medical notes from that night. They should tell you exactly who said , thought what and when.
COngratulations on 12 weeks though

I had my 4D scan today. It was great we got loads of pictures and video. I think it really did help, now when i feel it move I can identify it with a real live baby. Its great, feel very pleased all in all. Have uploaded a pic. \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1700&threadid=154540&stamp=060312192138\here}

wow cori what a wonderful picture. i want a 4d scan later on in pregnancy but then i don't want to spoil the suprise so for me i think i'll leave it.

dp is going to ask for a copy of all the notes tomorrow when he phones up. we're both so angry but i don't feel able to phone them myselves as i know i'll break down crying on the phone then start swearing at whoever's on the other end of the phone. we also want to get the ambulance to confirm the time we arrived.

Kreamkrackers, I think you have to apply for the notes in writing.

I thought the same way about the 4D scan, (which is why I left it so late) but I then realised that I have spent so much of this pregnancy worrying that I didnt really feel 'connected' to it being a real baby, IFYKWIM. I thought this would help. It certainly has.
