[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Oops! I posted the last post and didn't link to a new thread! Sorry!
Anyway, here it is, come on in for the best support going and a safe place to vent. and a lovely squishy new set of twins

Oh guff - welling up in an open plan office while on a con call! Fanbloodytastic.

Yay guff for wriggling baba and congrats on being 12 weeks!

shell mmmm red wine, omg i miss red wine so much but as dh doesn't drink it i can't warrant buying a whole bottle as i can only have a small glass so would be a waste of pennies. But i could buy one of those tiny bottles and have a redwine spritzer

Oh guff, amazing news, congrats!! xxx

guff brilliant news so lovely to hear about your scan, hooray for tiny hands!

rock hope you are ok waiting for your scan.

birds which restaurant were you at in the lakes? we are quite near the lakes. that tasting menu sounds amazing!

Loving all this down to earth advice on food and drink guidelines. I have continued with 1 cup of coffee this time, I gave it up in last two pregnancies but I kinda feel like that one small thing isn't going to make a difference. I have also had a couple of small glasses of wine, I miss it so much! I drank the odd glass last time after clearing 12 weeks although I did find it made me feel hungover even in small quantities last time and DD was very sleepy the day after a glass of wine (not much wriggling) which weirded me out a bit. I am going to Spain for a weekend in Sept (DH and I treat away to distract from last due date) so will have to partake in a couple of small glasses there I'm sure

Brilliant news guff!!

Fablious Guff!

Anda I get a little excited when you go quiet! Ha Ha, I'm sooooo looking forward to hearing your 'announcement'

Birds was that restaurant by any chance l'enclume? Went there for lunch for our anniversary this year and hubby had the venison tar tar. I declined sadly. However have been eating runny yolks to my hearts content!

Diet congratulations on making it to 37 weeks. Glad you have got admitted finally.

Congrats to guff too x
Fab news all round xxx

Yeah me too garden!! Diet we need twice daily check ins please...... This is way more exciting than waiting for the royal baby! :)

I feel like we need a list of scan countdowns so we know who to be directing all our posifrickintivity at next to dispel scan doom...rock are you next up? Hope you're doing ok and anyone else with a scan this week.

pixie we went to L'enclume - one of the places on The Trip - absolutely spectacular food! Such a treat. Also really lovely non-stuck up staff. We'd told them I was pregnant because of menu issues so it was quite strange when a few people said congratulations to us in the restaurant - but nice too. I has an evening of feeling quite optimistic (and reckless on the venison tartare front). Glad to hear everyone else is playing a little fast and loose with the food 'guidelines' too! Btw i'm sure ice cream is fine as long as it hasn't been melted and refrozen repeatedly - that's when it can give you food poisoning I think.

Cross posts with bod - yes, good guess!!

Maybe I need to review my stance on runny yolks...

Lol birds. Loved that place. Only had kunch but was still One of the best meals I have ever had. I liked the thing that looked like am egg yolk but wasn't! Would love to do the full menu sometime but might have to be a post baby treat as not up to massive meals anymore. Can just about manage three courses at a push and then need a lie down .

Lunch not lunch

Oh god. Hate I phone

Guff what lovely lovely news.

Is that one of the restaurants Steve Coogan visited? Sounds like it. Very fancy indeed!

Lovely news, Guff, great to have something nice to think about.

Looking forward to feedback from Anda and Diet!

Thanks everyone, I can't stop looking at the scan picture even though it's completely blurred

Rock yours is on Thurs isn't it? Only 2 (long) days to get through.

ooh birds I've wanted to go to l'enclume for ages! It sounds fab. So nice that the staff weren't stuck up either. Loved the trip, it was so funny. I will have to think up an excuse to go sometime when I'm not pregnant!

Guff that's excellent news, I'm so happy for you! Is your due date still the same? Yup, mine's Thursday at 4pm, so in less than 48 hours I'll know how things are getting on.

Ha ha bod don't worry i figured out kunch! Yes I suspect the 10 courses + many appetizers/palate cleanser thingies might have contributed to much worse than usual nausea and dry retching the next morning...But SO worth it. We stayed overnight (surprisingly affordable, only £90 for a double with breakfast at their brasserie the next morning) and there was a note left in our room confirming that we had 'a dinner reservation for 7pm, with Madam being pregnant'. Made me laugh. Don't really think of myself as 'Madam' (or indeed pregnant, quite yet!!)

rock not long to wait. Maybe a DVD or something this evening to help the hours tick past faster?

guff I love the fact that your baby was too busy dancing to stop and have its photo taken!

Birds its the new series of Bake Off in 10 mins... Paul Holywood should be a good distraction, especially since DH is out

Kat I've had scans at 7 and 9 weeks and all was good, however its not really reassured me as I had an 8 week scan last time and all was fine then baby died just after that and I only found out at 12 week scan I know things can still go wrong after 12 weeks but its a huge milestone for me. My dad has offered to pay for a gender scan at 17 weeks for me as he knows I will struggle with so long with no scans and possibly no kicks!

rock yes still 4th March EDD.

Excellent news guff hooray for your wriggly baby

Good Luck rock and what a nice dad you have :)

All ok here, I have recently found out that a woman I work with is pg, I'm so pleased for her. She had a mc last July and had to deal with everyone at work knowing about it :( I asked my boss how far along she was and he said about the same as me - which cannot be true as she is slim as a rake and I am like a fridge on legs

27 days of work left! I had a 1-2-1 today and couldn't have given a toss about any of it

Guff- Amazing news! So pleased your scan went well. You must be still buzzing and finally able to relax a bit.

Lots of chat about food. Wish I could get excited about food! I'm back to feeling really sick which is amazing, for a change! Feeling much less anxious today.

Rock sorry you're feeling so low. It's such a long and painful wait. I hope the next 2 days go quickly.

I read on patient.co.uk (I think) last week that once you have had one miscarriage your odds of it happening in your next pregnancy go up - basically, 2 in a row is pretty unusual. That seemed like quite a sweeping statement to me and I was quite surprised - I would have thought your odds remained the same for each pregnancy? Usually I really rate patient.co.uk, it seems to offer more detailed info than the nhs direct site.

I had my booking app today and I WON! I begged and pleaded and I got myself a scan booked for tommorrow. I am feeling pretty pleased with myself as 2 GPs, 2 midwives and all my local pregnant friends told me I didn't have a hope. So I'll be bang on 8 weeks tommorrow (8+2 according to LMP but I have a longer cycle, I think, although last period was a miscarriage so who knows). Weirdly I already feel better knowing that it's booked, I feel positive for the first time in days, like I know I'll get good news tommorrow. I won't feel like this in an hours time but right now the anxiety seems to have lifted. I really, really hope I come back tommorrow with some good news.
