Morning everyone, hope you all had good weekends. Mine was pretty quiet, still taking it fairly easy although the spotting has pretty much cleared up.
Glad your scan went well ghengis!
Hi rebecca, I'm also around 9 weeks (9+3 today) following a FET. I'm now in my local NHS system and apparently treated like any other pregnant person. That seems weird after all the IVF intervention.
Oh kiwi, fainting sounds scary. Hope you're ok and definitely time to get that badge! Unfortunately I can well believe that no one helped you - I fainted on the tube once and people just stepped over me. How's the sciatica? My sister had it in pregnancy and I remember her really suffering. Pregnancy yoga might be worth a try. It's lucky you can carry on doing Pilates - my studio bans all preggos until they can go to the pregnancy classes at 14 weeks so I've been unable to go and at a loose end - I used to go 2-3 times a week and I miss it.
sammy how are you doing?
chocolate I think we're going to have the harmony as it is provided by my preferred clinic - convenience and knowing the ladies that scan are my main decision factors. Have finally persuaded DH about the Harmony as initially he just wanted to go with the NHS tests, but I said that it would be too much to have to wait until 16 weeks to find out the results of the tests, and I think he realised that I would spend the whole time stressing and has conceded.
It's hard not to wish the time away isn't it friends, I am on a countdown to Christmas as hopefully things will feel a bit more real by then. I also can't see myself telling many people. I haven't told my parents yet, they are quite hard work and also insist on posting everything on social media so I will have to expressly tell them that I am NOT up for them broadcasting the news, and they'll probably get offended as they wont understand why I'm so sensitive about it.
Sorry you're still feeling sick lucy and fingers crossed it improves soon! We also only get two scans on the NHS - doesn't seem like much after being so used to constant monitoring!
Nice work on the vomming rose! I've avoided it so far thankfully but it must be quite reassuring! My main issue is forcing myself to eat through the nausea. Once I do, I fee much better.
Definitely sending you good wishes for the best Christmas present ever jen.
Not much happening here, just finding that time is going so very slowly. Think we will do the harmony next Monday when I'm 10+2. Feeling positive one minute and nervous the next, and trying not to let my imagination run away with itself into a dark place.
I definitely have a bit of a gut at the moment. I suspect it's more to do with, ahem, 'digestive issues' than anything else but it's definitely noticeable. I usually wear a lot of slim fit trousers for work but I'm struggling to do them up! Had to wear a dress that flares at the waist today to hide it, but it's too bloody tight on the boobs now, so they are looking rather squashed. Had to wake DH up before I left to do a boob inspection and tell me if they looked too squished! He said no but I'm still not convinced!
