Thread for ladies who are freaking out panicking slightly when preggy after miscarriage.
Plenty of oldies. Newbies always welcome.

Great news on the scans guys.
Mine was also all good. Didn't find out the sex, had to look away for most of it. Have finally taken the plunge and said something on the facebook! well I have been tagged in a bunch of pics looking rather large so pretty much outed anyway xxxx

Whoop Bod and Jess! I had wondered Bod how you would do it and not know the sex Smile. Jess that sounds like a good weight to me, they are supposed to gain more in the last few weeks than at any other time (1/2llb a week I think) so if you went to term your baby would be 61/2llb and there is nothing wrong with that! If they were really concerned I'm sure the consultant would have paid you a visit today Smile
DIY is that standard in your area? My 20 wk date came through within a week of the 12 wk scan, can you or your midwife give them a nudge?

DIY - I booked in for my 20 week at reception after I had had my 12 week. I would just give a prompt, see if you can get a date. Need something to count down to!!

hooray for good scan news Grin xx

jessw25 · 02/07/2013 20:08

Bod - great news! Hope you are celebrating this evening!

We didnt find out the flavour at the 20 wk one either but at today's the sonographer referred to baby as 'he' when doing the measurements so I wonder if she saw a little winkle..... DH thinks I shouldn't read much into it. Thoughts?!

GuffSmuggler · 02/07/2013 20:33

Great to hear good news from scans, hope you ladies can relax a bit and get even more excited x

Bodicea · 02/07/2013 20:55

To be honest felt more real when started feeling kicks, pink. So used to seeing scan I forget its actually me if you know what I mean. also got colleagues to have the odd sneaky peak in the run up, so kind of knew it was OK ;-)

Jess i used to have a habit of saying he whether I knew the sex or not. Wouldn't read much into it xxxxx

Bodicea · 02/07/2013 20:57

i meant so used to seeing scans!

Ha bod- that is a great plus to the job! Although I would blatantly spend all day peeking at what baby is up to!

garden, bod and jess congratulations on your good scans!! Very happy for you all! Grin

BlackholesAndRevelations · 02/07/2013 21:36

Oooh did you have to look away just in case you saw a willy or absence thereof, Bod?! hehe! Grin glad everything looks ok for you and for Jess too!

I've had such a lovely couple of days with my kids, so don't want to go to work tomorrow!

pumpkinsweetie · 02/07/2013 22:19

Congrats on your scans bod, garden & jessjessSmileSmile, ooh you are all having surprises, how lovelySmilexxx

DIYandEatCake · 02/07/2013 22:26

Yay great news on the scans!

I think i might phone the hospital tomorrow to chase up scan, can't do any harm! Flustered receptionist scribbled my name and 20w date on a list and said I'd get an appointment in the post, wasn't filled with confidence at the time... But then I only got my 12w scan date 10 days before...

Definitely feeling kicks occasionally, still very faint though. So can't wait to actually see baby wriggling about and poking hands and feet out. Though am hoping this one won't be head butting me in the ribs for weeks on end like dd did! (She was breech)

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 02/07/2013 22:39

Great scan news bod and head and garden :) so great to have some good news today after such a sad day yesterday.

We aren't finding out the flavour either, just counting down until Monday now!

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 03/07/2013 08:02

Oops my post should have read bid, jess (not head!!) and garden! Darn phone!

So I seem to be getting sickness, was awake fur about 3 hrs last night feeling really nauseous. Thought I'd lucked out by missing it altogether. I'm wondering is it linked to a huge bump when I woke up this morning? At 19 weeks I just had a tiny little bump, but this morning it's huuuuge! I wonder would a growth spurt cause me to feel sicky?!

GaryBuseysTeeth · 03/07/2013 10:23

Congrats on the good scan results garden, Bod and Jess!

Stars, hope yesterday went as well as possible & you're resting up at home. x

Hurrah for your bump & feeling sick Janie! No idea about growth spurt=nausea, but it's been coming in waves for me.

packed our hospital bags last night. Howzat for posifrickentivity!

GardenWorm · 03/07/2013 10:50

Aaargh! How exciting Gary!!!! What date next month is baby due? X

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 03/07/2013 11:13

Oooh bag packing exciting!!!!

Janie - I have been getting sicky sporadically. I wasn't sick at all in first trimester, but have been sick a few times in the last 3 weeks. It tends to be food related - when I am hungry or have eaten too much - but i hadn't thought about it been growth related? She seems to have weekly growth spurs so could be?

Gary - wow, bag packing is exciting!!! Remind me how many weeks you are?

Had a lovely morning- DH came home from a weeks holiday and to say welcome home, baby gave him a good kick! Movement has really increased in the last 3 days, an he definitely felt her :) So lovely.

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 03/07/2013 13:50

Oh pink that's do exciting that mr pink felt the kick!!! Eek I can't wait for that...so far it's just me!

Maybe I need to eat less dinner, we were at a friends for takeaway last night and didn't end up eating til 9.30 so maybe it was because of that!

DIYandEatCake · 03/07/2013 15:07

Aw pink that's lovely! I wish you could record feelings like you can pictures and sounds, there's really nothing like feeling a baby wriggling round inside you is there. I'm going to try to take time to really enjoy it this time, this will be the last baby for us (I'd keep on having them but dp is adamant we're stopping at 2!)

janie hope no more feeling sick. Mmm takeaway... Don't feel like pasta for dinner any more now!

gary wow, hospital bag already! How many weeks to go now?

Well no scan appt is just my hospital being crap, I phoned them today and they said they'd only got as far as booking appointments for next week, nothing further ahead yet, so it will be a while before I can begin my countdown I think! It's ok for me being a sahm but would be nice for dp to give his work a bit more notice and must be annoying for working mums to be.

GardenWorm · 03/07/2013 15:32

Cute Pink, baby Pink will have Daddy wrapped around her little finger, they are clever like that!

How annoying of your hospital DIY!

Just had embarrassing conversation at work with my 'big' boss, it seems that before my line manager left their job they forgot to mention to him that I was pregnant in spite of them being adamant that they would. He looked like a plum in front of the rest of the office for not knowing so that went down like a lead balloon....and so the work rubbish begins, my place are not particularly mummy/child friendly in fact I think they try and make it as bloody difficult as possible in the hope you will leave. Humph!

shellsocks · 03/07/2013 17:10

Fab scan news garden and bod a few of us not finding out the sex then?will really look forward to the announcements Smile And jess glad all is looking good Smile

Janie I have felt sick the last couple of days and dizzy again?if it carries on over the weekend gonna go and get BP and iron tested as both were low last PG

Eeeek at bags packed gary I think you are defo having a baby soon Grin

I've been in a total state since the scan as not been feeling movements very often compared to with DS at this stage (I know its too early to count the kicks Blush) but did the can of ice cold coke test last night and got lots of kicks, cried in relief...defo think I'm having a mad hormone change at the min am crying all the time again Confused

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 03/07/2013 21:37

Aw shell sorry to hear you're feeling emotional. I was the same in Saturday. I was in town shopping and I fell over on my ankle in a big clothes department store type shop. I had just asked a sales assistant where the maternity bras were and she pointed me in the right direction. In my way I fell over, landed crashing into my knee, and just burst into tears. Not one staff member came over to see if I was ok and I think I was in shock a bit. I cried til bed time in Saturday :( cancelled my plans to go out and just felt really emotional. (I was fine btw, bruise on my knee and arm only)

Bit emotional tonight as well. I've had really sore lower back and I asked DH if he would mind cleaning the bath so I could have a soak and he didn't bother so I've been scrubbing and making my back worse in the meantime. Made me realise he's done bugger all for me since being pg. not cooked dinner, not a little present, not a back rub and told me no way when I asked him if he would mind coming to bed a bit earlier so I could go to sleep without waking up when he got in.

Do your DHs do anything nice for you?

God I'm such a moaner and sound like a (wanabee) spoilt brat! Sorry!

Oh and garden...do you work in my office? My boss is a @@@@ too and doesn't remember pay maternity pay. Tosser.
