Oh lucky, sorry that sounds shit. Scan is good though
Honestly you would think after all we have already been through it would be nice if we could have an easy time of it this time! Not fair! Glad all is well, try and keep remembering that!!

Pentagon · 21/05/2013 13:04

Sorry to hear you've had a stressful morning Lucky (and such a horrible dream last night) but so glad you had another scan and everything is great - yay!! Well, there's always something to worry about in pregnancy - as a friend of mine says " if it's not one thing, it's another"

BumpKitty · 21/05/2013 13:11

lucky so pleased all is ok

anda hope you got some answers

I'm in maternity trousers at work! I think I just look like a heifer though rather than pg! I weighed myself this morning, it's not good. I have put on over a stone already. Must stop eating crap.

Good luck vix :)

BrieMonster · 21/05/2013 13:36

Hi all, have tracked you down again thread after thread. What a chatty crowd! am over the moon to see bakingtins back, so so pleased.
Not got much to add, have been too busy with a hyper toddler to really notice this pregnancy at all, a blessing of course for which I am grateful if not a little guilty.
I've had Brie twice, little confession there. Gulp.

Bakingtins · 21/05/2013 16:28

Hi Brie nice to see you too. Just hoping I am not unceremoniously leaving again after Thursday. I feel a bit sick thinking about it.
Quick question about cheese - we have a student lodging with us for 6 weeks who turns out to be veggie. Have dutifully bought a veggie cookbook but an awful lot of the recipes include goat's cheese. It's ok if you are cooking it, right?

Bakingtins · 21/05/2013 16:30

Lucky glad everything is ok. Hope you can finally start to relax now.

LuckySocks13 · 21/05/2013 16:31

Thank you everyone. Feeling a bit drained and emotional bit happier , well for now anyway! Please don't talk about Brie! I love it!

Vixjane · 21/05/2013 17:29

Thanks ladies. Went for the scan and in and out in half an hour! Looks like bub is doing fine - it was wriggling round and waving its arms and legs in the air. Even turned its back on us at one point! They've put me forward by 6 days so officially 13w 2d and due 24 nov!

lucky glad you had a good scan and hopefully put your mind at rest. Probably time to put your feet up with a brew.

DIYandEatCake · 21/05/2013 17:58

Congratulations vix! Going clothes shopping now? Smile
lucky sorry you had a stressful morning but so glad all is ok. Sounds like you need to take it easy a bit and look after yourself.
santa hope you get some symptoms back soon to reassure you.
Nothing new here, another migraine starting (boooo!) still feeling sick (yay!) and grumpy at dp for expecting me to cook 2 separate dinners as he doesn't fancy what I'm craving (quiche and beans again...!). When will the man learn to cook?!

IBelieveInPink · 21/05/2013 18:53

Nightmare DIY! You need some help with these migraines!!

Yay vix!!!

So, confessions. Who has bought stuff for baby? I haven't been brave enough yet!!

BlackholesAndRevelations · 21/05/2013 19:01

Great news vix! And glad all is ok now, lucky.

I'm just so tired and feeling sick after eating a whole pizza!! Should gave stopped halfway through and now feeling so guilty for feeding crap to the baby! Argh.

Take care all x

Bakingtins · 21/05/2013 19:04

Smile Vix!

DIY the migraines sound awful. Is there nothing safe the GP can give you?

Mummytothearkbuilder · 21/05/2013 19:32

Hi ladies

lucky sorry you have had a stressful morning lovely - glad the scan showed everything was okay - take some time to relax (I know it's hard though with work etc)

vix glad the scan went well and fab about bringing your forward due date forward!!

DIY so sorry you have another migraine Hun - I really sympathise with you. Have you been able to speak to the drs?

santa sorry you are feeling worried about your symptoms Hun.

I am seriously panicking about the lack of symptoms - I have sore boobs at night (when I take my bra off - feels like I am "releasing" them!!), bit of tiredness and a strong sense of smell but NOTHING else - no sickness at all - however I only had a bit of nausea with DS so logically I shouldn't be worried - but I am starting to learn that logic goes out of the window in pregnancy!!

Scan on Friday morning - petrified doesn't cover it!! Xx

BumpKitty · 21/05/2013 20:22

that's brilliant vix and ace that you got to jump forward nearly a whole week! it's like time travel Grin

ibip i'm waiting to see what I'm having (well secretly just waiting for Thursday to hopefully hear a heartbeat, then I'll be waiting for 20 week scan). I have most big stuff though from DD, we will have to turf her out of the cot bed and transform it back in to a cot. I also want her to change rooms - this isn't going to go well is it!
ps - I think you are super restrained to only dopple once a week :)

mummy you sound pretty symptomy to me!

santa i hope you feel sick again soon but you already know this pg is completely different to the last two as you've seen a heartbeat! Maybe this one is just a less nauseous pg. I got really car sick today - bloody awful, it lasted a good hour after I got out of the car.

hi brie how many weeks are you now?

BumpKitty · 21/05/2013 20:23

oh and good luck for the scan mummy

DIYandEatCake · 21/05/2013 20:53

mummy I had hardly any symptoms til about 7 weeks and stressed about it too. I have plenty now! I know it's hard and time goes slowly but try to have faith for the moment, not long til Friday.

pink I didn't buy anything til after 20 weeks last time, and probably won't this time. Doesn't stop me looking at cute little sleepsuits though...

I keep dithering about whether to see the gp, I'm so reluctant to take any drugs with any risk, would probably be wasting their time. It helps knowing that they improved from about 14 weeks with dd and were completely gone by 17, so hopefully only a few more weeks til things improve (nearly 11 weeks now!) Going to get an early night in a mo.

All the very best of luck tomorrow aoife if you're there.

ChocolateCremeEggBag · 21/05/2013 20:57

tins - cooked cheese is fine as you will have killed off the listeria bug.
I asked the MW about this on Monday as I had Stilton and broccoli soup on Sunday

Means that baked camembert and toasted sandwiches with brie are back in!
You can also find pasteurised versions of a lot of cheeses now anyway.

Mummytothearkbuilder · 21/05/2013 22:19

Thanks bump and diy - I'm hoping after the scan we feel a bit more reassured. Thanks again - you are all so lovely :-) x

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 21/05/2013 22:20

Oh lucky you poor thing, what a worry, but you must try to remember that the scan showed a happy wee baby in there :) what a stress though, hope your work are being sympathetic x

Congrats on the scan and time travel vix!! We're just a couple of days apart!

Mummy don't panic, I only had a bit of tiredness and slight dizziness now and then, no sickness at all.

Aoife hope tmro goes ok for you, sending you all the best vibes possible

DIY you poor poor thing, I can't begin to imagine how awful the migraines are got you. The ho may be able to offer something magic so worth a go.

I risked the gym last night for the first time since BFP, I used to do spin and body combat but decided just to go on the exercise bike and walk up a hill in the treadmill. Bloody hell 3 months of certainly shows Shock. Trying to break myself in slowly and not overdoing it by any means but I've got a consultation with the trainer next week to show me what things i can or can't do. I've put on about 9lbs and really feeling it, I was a 14/16 before pg and had lost 2 stone last year and I really don't want to put in excess so I'm hoping I can keep it at bay as much as possible. I've swapped my extra mature cheddar pregnancy addiction to light babybels. I think I might have to call my baby 'baby belle' at this rate.

I haven't bought anything yet but my mums friend has offered to give me everything she has (she has a 9month old and 2 older kids and said this was the last one) so I've told my mum to take it all and what I don't want or what I would prefer new, they can keep in their house for sleepovers!

GardenWorm · 22/05/2013 06:04

Thinking of you today Aoife

Congrats Vix great news!

So I told a few people in work yesterday including mgt....just waiting for the rumour mill to tell the other 800, I reckon most of them will know by now! Lol!

jmf294 · 22/05/2013 06:54

Aoife- keeping you in my thoughts today.
Hoping so much for good news for you and your worries all reassured.

IBelieveInPink · 22/05/2013 07:23

Aoife- hope you get the best of news today. Will be thinking about you.

How is everyone? Does anyone have anything exciting going on today? I do! My best friend is having her baby today. Yay newborn baby cuddles! :)

Bakingtins · 22/05/2013 07:44

Aoife thinking of you today. Hope you get more positive news.

Quiet chuckle to myself at " baby Belle".

BumpKitty · 22/05/2013 08:05

aoife hope it all goes well today and you get the answers you want, we're all thinking of you xxx

ibip it's my birthday! Had a lovely rendition of happy birthday from DD which ended in ' can I play Lego now?' but there the fun ends as now I'm off to work. Your friend's baby has a lovely birthday, it's usually very nice weather. Enjoy the baby snuggles x

Vixjane · 22/05/2013 08:42

thanks all. don't think i'm gonna buy anything yet diy, i'm still in my normal clothes apart from jeans and we're trying to hold off till after 20 wks to buy baby stuff. just saving up at the moment. Hope you're feeling better today!

Good luck mummy and aoife today. Hope you both get good news (and anyone else with appts/scans today!)

enjoy the cuddles ibip

Happy birthday bump!

We've started to tell people now as well, kind of a relief to be able to say something!
