Christmas / NYE babies?

Just got that BFP and facing the long road ahead.... The baby is due NYE which could be interesting - perhaps didn't think that one through!

Dying to tell people - all I can think about - but think I should play it safe until I get the all clear scan. Soooo exciting though.

Anyone else out there playing the waiting game?

lisa c how did the scan go?

I'm feeling a bit fed up of it all now. The nausea, the tiredness, the waiting, the having to go through all this whilst keeping it secret.

beginning to hate work as I know I have to try and hide how crappy I feel whilst still being told "you look rough, are you ok?"

Sigh

Yes Lisa scan update please, excited for you Smile x

Bicnod · 07/05/2014 21:43

Hi ladies, can I join in please?

DC3 due 30th December (eek!)

Had booking in appointment with midwife today but it won't feel real until that first scan.

Scan was unbelievable. There is definitely a bean in there and there is only one. Saw the heart beating but the bean was at the bottom of the sac so was very photogenic. Got very emotional when I heard the heat beat for the first time. Am so glad that I paid for the scan.

She dated me slightly ahead of where I thought I was, so 8 + 5 and edd now 11 December so if this baby is 2 weeks late will be induced on Christmas Day!!! She also said not to worry too much about her date as they will date me again at the 12 week scan so could end up with 3 different dates.

Sonographer was really nice and said that I am at less risk as I am over 8 weeks of mis carrying because most mcs happen by 7 weeks and that the placenta takes over from week 8 and mine looked fine.

Am now going to relax and enjoy the pregnancy even the nausea - it's all for a good cause Grin

LisaC2611 · 07/05/2014 22:12

Should have said unphotogenic!

Congrats bicnod!

j200 · 08/05/2014 06:03

That's great news Lisa, want to fast fwd to where you are! Wink

LadesC · 09/05/2014 06:28

Just wanted to wish you all luck...ill be disappearing as it seems im miscarrying. Had scan and bloods yest and will again sat but there was nothing to see on scan. Being monitored for either failed or ectopic. Hoping (in inverted commas) that its the former, lesser of two evils i suppose Sad

j200 · 09/05/2014 07:36

Oh Lades I'm so so sorry to hear your news Hmm did the spotting get worse? Wishing you a speedy recovery and to be rejoining with a sticky BFP soon x

Bicnod · 09/05/2014 07:39

Lades, so sorry to hear this Sad be kind to yourself. Have you got people you can talk to about it?

Lisa, that's great news about the scan. As a pp said, I wish I could fast forward to that point!

I'm currently feeling sick as a dog. Bleurgh. Cancelling plans all over the place without being able to tell people the real reason why, I think I'm about to get a reputation as a total flake...

LisaC2611 · 09/05/2014 10:33

Lades really sorry to hear that, take care of yourself and let everyone around you look after you.

Thanks Bicnod, if I go by the scan dates I am 9 weeks today so only another 3 weeks until I can start screaming I'm pg from the rooftops. We all seem to be wishing our pg's away!

I'm sure once you tell people why you was cancelling plans that they will understand and not think of you as a complete flake - not that you are!

We have a family christening this weekend and some of my family are travelling down from another part of the country, they may be coming late tonight but I am hoping they will come tomorrow morning as for the last few nights we have been going to bed about 10 pm and if they don't arrive until midnight I'm never going to be able to stay awake for them. I might just leave a key under the door mat so that they can let themselves in and I can sleep.

What's everyone else's plans for the weekend? Anyone up to anything good?

Congratulations to you all! My Christmas Day baby will be 16 this year! She was born on a still cold winter morning. There were only three of us present as she was born in a birth center. The room was dim and warm, classical Christmas music was playing softly in the background. My mum delivered a big turkey dinner to us shortly after she was born..it really was a magical time...

I hope you all have wonderful memories of your time too..xx

MrsCouchman · 07/06/2014 09:07

I've got my scan next Thursday, edd is Christmas Day! As much as at first I didn't want a Christmas baby now I love the idea :)
